WASHINGTON, Saturday, May 24. A dispatch to the War Department, from Gen. NCCLELLAN states as follows: "Three skirmishes to-day. We drove the rebels from Mechanicsville, seven miles from New-Bridge. The Fourth Michigan about finished the Louisiana Tigers. Fifty prisoners and fifty killed our loss ten killed and wounded." MCCLELLAN's HEADQUARTERS, TEN MILES FROM RICHMOND, Saturday, May 24. Our troops crossed the Chickahominy yesterday, both at Bottom's and the Railroad bridges, and now occupy a position one and a half miles beyond. A few of the enemy's pickets only were seen in front of the advance, under Gen. STONEMAN, at New-Bridge....

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 88 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. 2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. 3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest...

The dwindling percentage of those who think the Bumbler-in-Chief is a compassionate healer and uniter are not paying attention to his cold and calculating reactions to our daily troubles. When I was a kid, there were many decisions my parents made for me under the guise of, “It’s for your own good.” I was pressed to eat my vegetables, put my gift money in the bank for college, get home before dark and dress nice for school (black clothes non-negotiable.) I was not always a happy camper then, but realized once I got older that the dictates of my parents...

Is today’s America what World War II fighters, Korean War fighters, Vietnam War fighters, and other American warriors sacrificed and died for? Uncle Sam sent me to South Korea in 1953 during its war of survival against communist North Korea. Rumbles of yet another war while I was there – that would in time explode into war in Vietnam – made some of my comrades believe that at rotation time, they would be headed to that next fight against communism instead of returning to the states. One of my schoolteachers wrote in 1953: “What do you do there besides freezing...

Greenies disapprove of carbon and fret about carbon footprints, even though they themselves are carbon-based lifeforms. Climate-change environmentalists worry that the Earth is too warm. They seem to think they know what the temperature of the planet should be. Those who do not share their certitude about what the correct temperature of the Earth is, call these folks “warmists” or “greenies.” The big bane of the greenies, their bête noire (excuse my French), is fossil fuels. The greenies are especially vexed by ICE, the internal combustion engine. That’s because ICE vehicles run on fossil fuels, the petroleum products petrol (gasoline)...

Ukraine’s president said Wednesday that Russia must pull back to its pre-war positions as a first step before diplomatic talks, a negotiating line that Moscow is unlikely to agree to anytime soon. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he currently sees no willingness on the part of Russia to resume earnest negotiations on ending the three-month war. “At the beginning, there was an impression that we can move ahead, that there would be a certain result or some outcome of those talks. But it all has stalled,” Zelenskyy said through an interpreter by video link to attendees at this year’s World Economic...

Study shows boys with gender dysphoria are more likely to have a mother with a personality disorder. Even outspoken Democrat Bill Maher is asking questions of the delusional narrative propagated through transgender activism. In a comedic segment posted to Twitter, Maher touched on compelling evidence, suggesting the possibility that “California is creating” trans children. Well, California is notorious for their radical trans agenda like ‘drag queen story hour’ and schools promoting transgenderism unbeknownst to parents – so in light of additional scientific evidence, it seems like Maher could be right. A study published on PubMed compared two sets of mothers....

While retail investors head for the exits as stock prices sharply fluctuate, Evercore ISI’s Julian Emanuel wants to put money to work. He calls the market environment very ugly, but he believes the economy will avert a recession — particularly due to healthy credit markets and continued gains. “The path to higher [stock] prices really is a function of being able to discount the macro news and focus on the fact that you’re still going to have mid-to-high, single-digit earnings growth,” the firm’s senior managing director told CNBC’s “Fast Money” on Tuesday. His S&P 500 year-end target is 4,800, which...

Back when Covid was supposedly running rampant, I used this website to find someone who would prescribe Ivermectin and followed their Covid prevention and treatment protocol. Dr. Marik and Dr. Kory have taken up the cause of Vaccine Injuries and how to treat them considering no other medical group will treat or recognize that vaccine injuries are happening in remarkable numbers. Dr. Paul Marik and Dr. Pierre Kory will introduce the new I-RECOVER: Post-Vaccine Syndrome protocol during the FLCCC Weekly Update on Wednesday, May 25, 2022. If you or someone you know has experienced post-vaccine injury, this webinar is a...

Senate Democrats say a major floor debate on gun control is inevitable after a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, left at least 19 children and two adults dead, only 10 days after another massacre killed 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo. The second high-profile killing spree in the span of just more than a week means that Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) will be under heavy pressure to bring a gun-control measure to the floor before the July 4 recess, risking a partisan brawl that could be tough on vulnerable Democrats up for re-election in swing states this...

MSNBC, ABC News, NBC News and CBS News have nearly completely ignored Friday’s bombshell testimony in which former Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook testified Clinton approved the dissemination of materials to the media alleging a secret communications channel between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank, despite campaign officials not being "totally confident" in the legitimacy of the data. "Left-wing media outlets shout from the rooftops that disinformation matters and is a threat to democracy. Unless, of course, it makes Democrats or the press look bad," radio host Jason Rantz told Fox News Digital. The mainstream media has largely...

President Biden on Tuesday night said the “gun lobby” is responsible for US mass shootings and called for new gun control laws after a gunman murdered 18 children and two adults at an elementary school in Texas. “As a nation, we have to ask when in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby? When in God’s name will we do what we all know in our gut needs to be done?” Biden said in remarks from the White House just before 9 p.m. “It’s been 3,448 days — 10 years — since I stood up...

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Tuesday lamented the lack of Senate support for tougher gun laws following a mass shooting in Texas hours earlier but rejected the notion of eliminating the filibuster for the purpose of passing such a bill. Manchin noted that he has three grandchildren similar in age to the victims at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where at least 14 kids and one teacher were shot and killed. “It’s just absolutely horrific,” Manchin said. “You all know where I stand; I’ll do anything I can.” Pressed on whether he would consider scrapping the filibuster to tighten...

A Border Patrol agent is being credited with killing the gunman in a deadly mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday. An anonymous law enforcement official told the Associated Press that an agent rushed into Robb Elementary School without waiting for backup. The Border Patrol agent shot and killed the gunman, who was hiding behind a barricade, this source said. The as-yet-unidentified agent was wounded but able to walk out of the school, the source added. Border Patrol sources told Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin that the agent believed to have shot and killed the gunman...

As truckers see higher costs at the gas pump, consumers may find everything becoming more expensive he Biden administration is considering tapping a rarely used diesel reserve to help ease the pain at the gas pump as inflation continues to drive up prices. Diesel prices sky-rocketed in the past year, soaring to a staggering $5.57. Last year, the average cost for a gallon of diesel was around $3.00. Imagine paying today’s price to fill up more than 100 gallons. That’s what truckers are facing across the country. Last week, somebody came and paid $1,200 to fill his tanks. The gas...

Time to dig out those bell-bottoms and eight-track tapes. Wall Street may be headed for a second season of “That ’70s Show.” Not that today’s millennial investors know what those items are of course. A pair of high-profile financial commentators went on record this week saying investors may need to study the playbook for the 1970s if they want to make money in the 2020s. Mohamed El-Erian, president of Queens’ College at Cambridge and chief economic adviser at Allianz, warned of a ’70s-style “stagflation” in a Bloomberg interview this week, blaming the Federal Reserve’s view in 2021 that inflation would...

Energy bills are set to go up by more than £800 this autumn - as the regulator warned that the price cap is likely to hit £2,800 in October. Ofgem's boss described soaring gas prices as a "once in a generation event" - made even more acute by Russia's war in Ukraine. Campaigners say - millions more people will be thrust into what is known as “fuel stress” - forced to choose between paying for food or heating their homes. ...
