Hillary Clinton’s attorney Michael Sussmann walked free from court this week after lying under oath to the FBI in their sham Trump-Russia investigation. Joe and Hunter Biden walk free after crackhead Hunter documented their unethical and presumed criminal deals with officials from China to Moscow to Ukraine. The Biden family made hundreds of millions in their illicit international deals. But that is ignored by the Democrats, the DOJ, and their compliant media. Instead, Democrats are investigating Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. ......snip...... A $2 billion investment by a Saudi Arabian wealth fund in Jared Kushner’s private equity firm is the subject...

U.S. carbon dioxide emissions rose by 4 percent in the first quarter, as American drivers hit the road in record numbers during the first three months of the year. U.S. motorists logged 753 billion miles on the road through March, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. That's the highest first-quarter tally since the federal authorities began keeping track in 1970. The extra miles highlighted the continued recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and came in the face of a run-up in gasoline and diesel prices. In climate terms, the added miles helped drive the ongoing rally in U.S....

The idea of arming trained, volunteer school staff members to serve as a first line of defense against any targeted attack on students has been dismissed by Democratic lawmakers and teachers unions alike, but a majority of voters appear much more receptive to the idea. A new poll by the Trafalgar Group found almost 60% of voters believe that the absence of armed school staff members makes schools more dangerous, with just 30% disagreeing. More importantly, as we discuss on today’s Bearing Arms’ Cam & Co, research into the idea bolsters the claims by supporters that having an armed presence...

Deputy Head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev has said that Ukraine's refusal to recognize the new realities resulting from the Russian invasion of its territory and unwillingness to resume negotiations with Russia threaten its national sovereignty. Medvedev made the corresponding statement in an interview with the Arab TV channel Al Jazeera, according to the Russian propaganda agency Interfax. "Some time ago, Ukraine allegedly showed a desire to agree on key points, and on a relatively, in our opinion, realistic position," Medvedev said. According to him, it concerns Ukraine's refusal to join the North Atlantic Treaty...

The L.A. City Council last week passed a motion that would ban most gas appliances in new residential and commercial construction in the city, citing an effort to combat climate change. “With the sheer number of restaurants in L.A., this will have a massive impact on the future of the restaurant industry and how many diverse cuisines are offered,” said Jot Condie, president of the California Restaurant Assn. “There is no substitute if you ban gas equipment,” Xie said. "For Chinese cuisine, we use a technique called stir-frying and the temperature is key.” Many of the dishes at Chengdu Taste...

MEMORIAL OF SAINT CHARLES LWANGA AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS JOHN 21:15-19 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus asks Peter three times if he loves him. Thus the Lord gave Peter the opportunity to be reconciled with him for his threefold denial. What does the word "reconciliation" mean? It is derived from the latin term cilia, meaning eyelashes. To be re-conciled is to be brought eyelash to eyelash with another, to see face to face, eye to eye. Jesus was perceived by the first Christians as the fulfillment of this hope of Israel. He was himself, in person, the reconciliation of divinity and...

Arestovych said that Ukrainian forces organized three crossings of the river and created a bridgehead from where they targeted Russian forces, who lost dozens of pieces of equipment and at least a hundred troops. He said that there were Ukrainian losses but the Russian BTG was wiped out. Kherson was seized by Russian troops early in the war and its liberation would be gradual, according to Arestovych, who said Kyiv's forces would not storm the region's main city. The Russian Ministry of Defense, which Newsweek contacted for comment, did not mention the Kherson region in its daily update on Thursday...

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia is looking into the possibility of extending the ruble payment requirement for certain types of goods other than natural gas, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Friday. "As the practice of payments for Russian gas shows, most of our counterparties have agreed to the new format of interaction... With regard to expanding the scope of ruble payments for certain categories of Russian goods, such options are always on the table," Zakharova told a briefing. She added that Moscow has no doubts about the West continuing "to take advantage of its position in the international...

If you know any students taking state exams this month, this blog, which is maintained by a NYC math teacher with two decades of experience, contains many, many previous exam questions, answers, and explanations of how to find these answers. It's mostly New York Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra 2/Trigonometry, but there are some Texas exams on the site.

It’s just another day in the life of that lovable, laughable economic farce known as Erdoganomics (yes, it’s even more laughable and idiotic than MMT, if one can believe that), where cutting interest rates in the middle of hyperinflation is supposed to fix everything. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work like that, and the latest CPI and PPI data out of Turkey today confirmed as much. Turkey’s inflation soared in May to the fastest since 1998 as the continued surge in food and energy was not helped by the country’s ultra-loose monetary policy. Consumer prices rose an annual 73.5%, up from 70%...

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...

A shooting in Iowa left two people and a suspected gunman dead outside a church in Ames, Iowa Thursday evening, the Story County Sheriff’s Department confirmed. The shooting happened just before 7 p.m. local time when a man opened fire on two female victims in front of Cornerstone Church on US-30, Capt. Nicholas A. Lennie told Fox News Digital. The church was holding an event for college-age kids when the shooting occurred, the station reported. The church said in a statement the victims were "two young members of our Cornerstone Church community."

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...
