Tim Michels is a very successful businessman running for Governor of the Great State of Wisconsin. During my Administration, Tim served on my infrastructure task force, and helped us plan and start building the Keystone XL Pipeline before Joe Biden launched his assault on American Energy production. The current Governor, Tony Evers, has been an abject failure for the people of Wisconsin, from his abysmal handling of the China Virus, where his lockdowns were unprecedented, to rampant crime across the State. Wisconsin needs a Governor who will Stop Inflation, Uphold the Rule of Law, strengthen our Borders (we had the...

Joe Biden on Friday bragged about the performance of the economy during his presidency, saying Americans felt more 'financially comfortable' and vowing to lower prices of gas and food. Biden's remarks came after a new report showed the job market slowed in May with 390,000 jobs added although the unemployment rate was unchanged and remained at 3.6%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Economists praised the figure as healthy and Biden said it showed 'stable, steady growth.' 'America is in a stronger economic position today than just about any other country in the world,' he said in remarks...

Although high-speed wireless technologies like Wifi 6E and 5G dominate news headlines, analog, and optical cables are still the backbone of the internet, and for good reason. Researchers in Japan just set a new fiber optic data transmission record with a technique that’s compatible with existing cable infrastructure, meaning a real-world implementation is entirely possible, and not just limited to a laboratory setting. Researchers from Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) successfully sent data down a custom multi-core fiber optic cable at a speed of 1.02 petabits per second over a distance of 51.7 km. That’s the...

[Catholic Caucus] The Path from St. Pius X’s Pascendi to Satan’s Synodality is Paved with Compromises As Christopher Ferrara described in his 2009 article in The Remnant, Fatima and Akita: A Fateful Concurrence, we have good reason to believe that the (still hidden) Third Secret of Fatima includes “essentially the same” message that Our Lady delivered in 1973 to Sister Agnes Sasagawa, in Akita, Japan:“In [The Secret Still Hidden] I show that the former Cardinal Ratzinger, who conferred face-to-face with Bishop Ito in Rome concerning the Akita apparitions, told Howard Dee, the former Philippines Ambassador to the Vatican, that...

According to police, Wilson went on a date with Strickland in Austin the night she was murdered. Armstrong had reportedly been stalking Moriah Wilson and killed her within minutes of her returning home from her dinner date. Colin Strickland, who is not a suspect, has reportedly gone ‘underground’ after leaving the state of Texas. US Marshals posted screenshots of Kaitlin Armstrong walking through Austin International Airport with her yoga mat. According to the US Marshals, Armstrong landed at New York’s LaGuardia and that’s where they say they lost track of her. “Armstrong was last seen on surveillance video wearing a...

“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor” – Exodus 20:16 Lying itself, while morally wrong, isn’t a crime. Apparently, as of May 31, 2022, lying to the FBI isn’t either. Was anybody really surprised that Clinton attorney Michael Sussman was found not guilty of the crime of lying to the FBI about then-candidate Trump’s involvement with Russian intelligence? The Soviet Union was famous for kangaroo courts, where verdicts were decided before any evidence was presented, but consider the following about a trial that just concluded in this nation’s capital: - The Obama-appointed judge, through his wife, had direct...

Nevada state Treasurer Zach Conine announced Thursday the state will end its investments in businesses that sell or manufacture assault-style weapons in the wake of a string of deadly mass shootings nationwide. “Today, I directed our team to divest the State of Nevada from any investment in a business that profits from the sale or manufacture of assault-style weapons,” Conine wrote. “No one policy or law will fix this crisis, but we all must do something.” Conine said that his decision was particularly influenced by the shooting that took place in Uvalde, Texas, last week resulting in the deaths of...

The State Department deputy spokeswoman who called police the "largest threat to U.S. national security" is leaving her job after a 16-month stint that was marred by public gaffes and internal battles with her colleagues. Jalina Porter will "transition out" of her job as the State Department’s number-two public face, spokesman Ned Price announced . It is unclear if Porter, who has a history of anti-cop rhetoric and reportedly clashed with career State Department officials, is shifting elsewhere in the Biden administration or exiting. Porter entered the role under a cloud after the Washington Free Beacon unearthed a series of...

The Rhode Island representative refused to yield his time during the outburst, while discussing legislation related to “red flag” laws, that would allow the government and law enforcement to confiscate firearms from anyone deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. Florida congressman Matt Gaetz attempted to insert an amendment to the legislation stating “Congress disfavors the enactment of laws that authorize a court to issue an extreme risk protection order, also known as Red Flag laws, in the States because such laws trample on an individual’s due process and Second Amendment rights.” That prompted Cicilline to call the...

USA: Francis Names Only McCarricks Accomplices as CardinalsAccomplices. The selection of the cardinals appointed by Francis on Sunday shows a further politicisation of the College of Cardinals, and the appointment of the San Diego homosexualist McElroy has shaken the Church. Crisis magazine's editor-in-chief Eric Sammons notes a similarity between the five US cardinals appointed by Francis - Cupich, Farrell, Tobin, Gregory and now McElroy. They are all accomplices of disgraced Cardinal McCarrick.Yet God Has Forbidden HomosexOutlandish. McElroy himself told AmericaMagazine on Tuesday that the synodical process should not exclude certain positions just because they go against a very long-standing discipline...

The first full-color images and other data, coming July 12, 2022, will showcase Webb's capabilities and kick off its science mission.

As an observer of human behavior I can't help but look daily at the folks getting arrested. Most have loser written all over them. Then there are the hot babes whose arrests make it in the news outside the county. Why? It's because the real news is all the guys who take one look at the mugshot and propose marriage. Really funny. So this hot babe gets a 2nd DUI while her license is suspended-previous one. Didn't look too ashamed or embarrassed. Btw-she's on Facebook.

Before President Biden lectures Americans about responsible gun ownership, some self-reflection is warranted. President Joe Biden is on a full-blown crusade to regulate or repeal the Second Amendment out of existence. While Democrats are often not honest about their intentions, this has always been their true agenda. Biden’s son, Hunter, who appeared to purchase a gun illegally in 2018, could be among those hardest hit. On Thursday night, the president went on a nearly 20-minute tirade on the need to ban “assault weapons,” whatever that means. “Why in God’s name should an ordinary citizen be able to purchase an assault...

Some times this stuff just doesn’t make any sense at all. I mean, a deer helping a rabbit get away from a hawk sounds like the plot of a Disney movie, really. But, what doesn’t necessarily make sense usually makes for something cool. I mean, if it’s not common, it is more intriguing. For this rabbit in Wisconsin, that was the case. “Kris Miller was trimming trees around Nordic Mountain country park, Wisconsin, USA, earlier this month when he spotted a red tailed hawk dead on the ground. After checking CCTV from June 11, the 29-year-old operations manager was ‘astonished’...

Russia's failure to pay $1.9 million in accrued interest on a dollar bond will trigger payouts potentially worth billions of dollars, a panel of investors determined on Wednesday, as the country teeters on its first major external debt default in over a century.

After enjoying years of taxpayer-funded protection from agencies and departments, many of which avail themselves of AR-15 rifles, Hillary Clinton tweeted Friday, “No one actually needs an AR-15.” This is not the first time Clinton has a taken a position against guns that runs totally counter to the fact she has spent many years of her life living with the peace of mind that comes from being protected by good guys with guns. Following the December 2, 2015, San Bernardino attack that killed 14, Clinton said, “Guns, in and of themselves…will not make Americans safer.”

Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” network contributor Claire McCaskill suggested putting up photographs of mass shooting victims on public display to prevent future shootings. McCaskill, formerly a senator for Missouri, noted the act of putting up pictures of victims on public display was “horrific” but said it would help connect “the facts with the reality of the violence that happened.”

WASHIR, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers have begun a campaign to eradicate poppy cultivation, aiming to wipe out the country’s massive production of opium and heroin, even as farmers fear their livelihoods will be ruined at a time of growing poverty. ... During their first time in power in the late 1990s, the Taliban also banned poppy cultivation and with a fierce campaign of destroying croplands nearly eradicated production within two years, according to the United Nations. However, after the U.S.-led invasion that ousted the Taliban in 2001, many farmers returned to growing poppies. Over the next nearly 20...
