Proving that what’s old is new again, here is how the late William Safire began his New York Times column of Jan. 8, 1996: “Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady - a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation - is a congenital liar. “Drip by drip, like Whitewater torture, the case is being made that she is compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.” Safire detailed a series of situations where Hillary Clinton was caught...

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona’s Republican governor has signed legislation preventing state health officials from ever adding a COVID-19 vaccine to the list of required school inoculations and barring mask mandates in government buildings.

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 6Wickedness in the World 6 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with[a] humans forever, for they are mortal[b]; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children...

If you’re a Christian who believes that abortion is immoral, then Alexandria Ocasio Cortez thinks you should just shut up. As is her wont, AOC took to social media to mock people of faith who believe that abortion is taking a life. Notice how she sneers and uses air quotes to ridicule them. And then accuses “fundamentalist Christians” of wanting to establish a theocracy.She’s engaging in the old anti-Catholic saw that pro-abortionists love to trot out: Keep your rosaries off my ovaries! She then extends it to “fundamentalist” Christians, of whom I’m sure she has little knowledge. There are many...

In the weeks after the 2020 election, one particular Michigan woman was trumpeting claims of fraud as loudly as she could. Kristina Karamo, a community-college professor who’d previously accused Democrats of having a “Satanic agenda,” went on Fox News again and again to describe how illegal ballots supposedly had been tallied for Joe Biden at the TCF Center in Detroit, where she worked as a poll watcher. She testified before the State Senate that sacks of votes inexplicably had been dropped off there in the middle of Election Night. She suggested that Dominion Voting software had flipped Trump votes to...

Those who contract the virus will now have to self-isolate for three weeks, Belgian health authorities have said, after three cases were recorded in the country. The infections, the first of which was recorded on Friday, are all linked to a festival in the port city of Antwerp.

President Joe Biden called the outbreak of monkeypox something 'everybody should be concerned about, and his security advisor says he has been briefed on the situation. 'They haven't told me the level of exposure yet but it is something that everybody should be concerned about,' Biden said as he left South Korea en route to Japan on a trip that is focused on economic and security issues.

Georgia Senate candidate and former professional football player Herschel Walker said on Wednesday that he supports restrictions on abortion without exceptions for rape, incest or the health of the mother. Walker made the remarks to reporters after a campaign speech this week. “There’s no exception in my mind,” he said. “Like I say, I believe in life. I believe in life.” “You never know what a child is going to become,” he added. “And I’ve seen some people, they’ve had some tough times, but I always said, ‘No matter what, tough times make tough people.’” In a statement shared with...

No offense to the FBI... Two weeks, and the Supreme Court leaker is still going to work every day. I assume he is, unless there was a resignation that no one heard about. Who did it? We understand that Chief Justice Roberts is very committed to finding the leaker. Yet this leaker is still out there, and who knows what other "leak" is coming? Once a leaker, always a leaker. Just check out the repeat leakers who kept the media busy during the Russia and Trump story. So Justice Roberts needs a Plan B. I'm not knocking the FBI, but...

Liberal media companies are notorious for censoring information that doesn’t fit their agenda, Google is no exception. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called for a meeting with Google amid a recent study that found the company was unfairly filtering GOP lawmakers’ emails to be hidden in spam folders. After the meeting, Cruz told Politico that the tech giant purposely ignored Republican senators’ questions regarding Gmail’s alleged suppression of conservative political candidates’ emails. “Google deflected, refused to provide any data, repeatedly refused to answer direct questions.” According to the study, Gmail marked 59.3 percent more emails from the right as spam than...

Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Friday agreed with a Twitter user who suggested that Hillary Clinton's campaign tweeted "misleading disinformation" in the past that alleged a connection between former President Donald Trump and Russia. "I have reported this tweet as misleading disinformation to the powers that be at @twitter. I would be interested to know if, when you receive control over the company, anything was done with this at any level. Pls advise soonest," Twitter user veeSPIKE wrote, addressing Musk while also sharing a tweet posted by Clinton in October 2016. Musk replied: "You are absolutely correct. That tweet is...

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn understood the fatal attraction that socialism has for the West. And of course, he understood better than anyone else the profound damage that socialism inflicts on any society in which it’s ascendant. With the creeping leftism that has infected every aspect of American society, and cost tremendous damage to every aspect of America, Solzhenitsyn’s words are proving more prophetic than ever. In his Warning to the West, Solzhenitsyn wrote the following: The decline of contemporary thought has been hastened by the misty phantom of socialism. Socialism has created the illusion of quenching people’s thirst for justice: Socialism has...

Day 20 and no mention of the documentary 2000Mules by any of the Fox network hosts or shows. Also, the movie is not even listed on the Fox News website. Why? Why hasn't even Karl Rove that purveyor of political wisdom mentioned the documentary? Karl, the film explains what you haven't or can't, i.e. that an incumbent president wins 2500 counties including all but one of the bellwether counties, garners 12 million more votes than in 2016 etc. and loses? Please, pick up your little message board and explain to us how this can happen. Fact is, Americans were not...

This past Saturday, an 18-year-old white man went on a murderous rampage in a market in Buffalo, motivated by hatred towards blacks and others. Then, on Sunday, a Chinese man entered a Presbyterian church and killed one and wounded others, motivated by his hatred of Taiwan. And last month, a black man shot and injured 29 subway riders in New York City, motivated by racial hatred as well. Baseless hatred is destroying our nation. There is a fascinating Talmudic tradition that asked why the First Temple was destroyed (in 586 BC) and the Second Temple was destroyed (in 70 AD)....

We are in a war for the survival of free speech today. Any government official who refuses to recognize that truth is weak-minded, weak-willed, or already complicit. It seems every day some notable Democrat is pushing for censorship. After the horrific Buffalo mass murder on May 14, New York Governor Hochul threatened social media companies for not purging “hate speech,” that dangerously elusive term that has the potential to cover anything Democrats don’t like. Former New York mayor Bill de Blasio demanded that Congress pass legislation to “reign in the spread of hate” on the Internet. Senate Majority Leader Chuck...

As it turns out, that was then, and this is now. Consent is no longer enough. The latest case in point is that of David Sabatini, said to be one of the world’s greatest scientists. His career has been derailed because a former lover has now turned on him. It is a sad story, certainly for Sabatini and maybe for the rest of us, as his cancer research is among the world’s most promising. Sabatini was forced out of MIT and his career has been downhill from there [...]

(CNN) - Hillary Clinton personally approved her campaign's plans in fall 2016 to share information with a reporter about an uncorroborated alleged server backchannel between Donald Trump and a top Russian bank, her former campaign manager testified Friday in federal court. Robby Mook said he attended a meeting with other senior campaign officials where they learned about strange cyberactivity that suggested a relationship between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, which is based in Moscow. The group decided to share the information with a reporter, and Mook subsequently ran that decision by Clinton herself. "We discussed it with Hillary," Mook...

As one analyst put it, “Target didn’t just miss their quarterly numbers by a little, they missed them by A Lot!” That caused not only shares of Target stock to crater, it took the whole market with them. When the day’s bloodbath ended, hundreds of billions of net worth was gone. Our friends on the Left probably snickered that it serves the fat cat capitalists right. A little of their own medicine. They don’t understand (or care) that the losses come largely from IRA’s and 401K’s. Millions of hard working Americans, already buckling under the rising costs for food and...
