At first glance, it would have looked like any other 1970s-era backyard gathering — people sitting back on webbed lawn chairs, sipping drinks, enjoying a slice of coffee cake and taking in the heat of Manitoba in July. But that would be a royal oversight. Sitting in those thrones of summer 52 years ago, on the lawn of a Prairie potato farmer, was England's most prestigious family. And as Queen Elizabeth celebrates her Platinum Jubilee this year, at age 96, memories and photos of that rare visit are being resurfaced by a retired Manitoba teacher whose family played host. "It...

BATTLE-FIELD, Tuesday, June 3, 1862 All the wounded have been removed to the hospitals and properly cared for by the surgeons in attendance. Many of the wounded rebels, including a Colonel, two Captains, and a large number of privates, were left behind in the old huts and houses, on and in the vicinity of the battle-field. Every rebel I have conversed with, expressed their surprise at the kind treatment they have received at our hands. They say their officers tell them we hang or shoot all prisoners brought in; they say, also, if the people of Richmond only knew the...

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (King James Version) It appears Tony Fauxi and Big Pharma are trying to send the story of Cold-19 down the memory hole. As increased investigations become known exposing their guilt in the negligent homicide of 10-20 million Americans their information factory is going to be called to hide increased evidence. It is extremely obvious Remdesivir, and horrific medical practices killed 75-100% of the listed Covid deaths in America. The more difficult to prove is how many direct and indirect deaths were caused by their...

The workers union at Starbucks is claiming the coffee chain is shutting down a recently unionized cafe in retaliation for its activist efforts. It’s the latest escalation between a rapidly growing national labor movement and the coffee giant. Workers United, the union that’s backing organizing efforts at Starbucks, said in a Friday filing with the National Labor Relations Board that Starbucks is violating federal labor law by permanently closing an Ithaca, New York, store. The group alleged it was in retaliation since employees at the location voted to unionize in April. The Ithica store employees say they originally went on...

The Bible In Paintings 2 ENCOURAGEMENT FOR APPRECIATING AND APPLYING GOD'S MESSAGE 1st KINGS CHAPTER 3 The LORD appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” Solomon answered, “You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day. “Now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place...

Chris Jacobs, a New York Republican congressman, has withdrawn his reelection bid amid backlash over his support for gun control measures. A Republican New York congressman who recently voiced support of gun control legislation announced on Friday that he will no longer seek reelection after receiving backlash over his stance. Chris Jacobs’ support of such legislation – which came in the wake of deadly mass shootings at a Buffalo, New York, grocery store and Uvalde, Texas, elementary school – had prompted his conservative and GOP colleagues to withdraw their support. Jacobs, who was endorsed by the National Rifle Association in...

President Joe Biden has said he's "taking a hard look" at canceling hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt—a decision his advisers believe would be "a complete disaster" for the Democratic Party in the midterms."There are a lot of people very close to the president who privately understand that this is a complete disaster for them," the Washington Post‘s James Hohmann said on the Bulwark Podcast. The president's aides have attributed the political misjudgment to influence from leftwing Democrats including Sen. Raphael Warnock (Ga.) and Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. Both are seeking high turnout from the party's...

It’s time that Americans faced up to the reality that their governing apparat is a corrupt, self-engorging Leviathan.Gertrude Stein famously warned that it was important to know how far to go when going too far. It pains me to admit that Democrats seem to have a far better sense of all that than do Republicans. Perhaps it’s because Democrats have a visceral appreciation of William Hazlitt’s observation that “those who lack delicacy hold us in their power.” The Democrats, that is to say, long ago became expert at the game of holding their opponents to standards that they themselves violate...

Most working-age Americans who died of COVID-19 during the first year of the pandemic were so-called essential workers in labor, service and retail jobs that required on-site attendance and prolonged contact with others, according to a recently published study led by a University of South Florida epidemiologist. he study looks back on COVID-19 deaths in 2020 and affirms what many had already known or suspected — that Americans who could not work from home and who labored in low-paying jobs with few or no benefits, such as paid sick leave and health insurance coverage, bore the brunt of deaths during...

AOC says she had ‘awakening’ about her indigenous heritage at Standing Rock in 2016 She’s gone from woke to “awakened.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims she experienced an “awakening” and got in touch with her indigenous ancestry in 2016, while demonstrating against the Dakota Access Pipeline at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. During a lengthy Instagram story Q&A session Saturday, the left-wing lawmaker spoke for roughly three minutes about people native to the Caribbean, known as Taíno, and the Americas, stressing that many Taíno ways are still alive and have not been entirely wiped out by European colonization. “I really, really...

...The Federalist published the following putrid pool of trash water: “Tragedies Like The Texas Shooting Make A Somber Case For Homeschooling.”One of the problems with proposing homeschooling as a solution to school shootings is that, by some estimates, there are more guns than people in the United States.... The proposal to homeschool kids also ignores that people die from gun violence in their homes. The Uvalde gunman allegedly shot his grandmother, critically wounding her in their home, before going to the school—just the latest example of the troubling connection between mass shooters and domestic violence.......Take the frenzy over “critical race...

Elon Musk took to Twitter Saturday to ask if anyone was bothered by how quiet the "leaking" Justice Department is when it comes to the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, said the DOJ, which grew notoriety for leaking under former President Donald Trump, was remarkably silent about the deceased convicted pedophile. "Only thing more remarkable than DOJ not leaking the list is that no one in the media cares," Musk tweeted.

Despite Donald Trump's own followers booing and calling Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) a “RINO,” the ex-president sent out a statement late Saturday night endorsing McCarthy in his quest for 2022 re-election. “Congressman Kevin McCarthy is an outstanding Representative,” Trump wrote, calling the GOP House leader “strong” and “fearless.” However, after posting the endorsement to his Truth Social platform, Trump's followers expressed disappointment in the comment section.

A furious Los Angeles mom who was mowed down with her baby by a hit-and-run teen driver has lashed out at soft-on-crime District Attorney George Gascon after the perp was given just five months probation. The mother, only identified as Rachel, took aim at LA’s top prosecutor in a scathing victim impact statement after the 16-year-old driver was ordered to participate in a diversionary program over the August 2021 incident, Fox News reported Friday. “George Gascon doesn’t value my life or the life of my child, or any other victim out there, and would rather reward the monsters like [the...

Progressive Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon is walking back his claim that the county sheriff’s department “agreed with the felony charges” and lenient sentencing against a teenager who was convicted of driving a car into a mother and her 8-month-old son. The 17-year-old pleaded guilty to two felony charges of assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury and one felony count of hit-and-run, but was sentenced to spend five to seven months in a juvenile probation camp. Prosecutors describe the camp as “less than a military school and a little bit tougher than a summer...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 13Abram and Lot Separate 13 So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him. 2 Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold. 3 From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been earlier 4 and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the Lord. 5 Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram,...

It was just after midnight on February 21, 1998, and the banks of the frozen Tumen River separating North Korea from China were engulfed in darkness. We would have to cross the icy river on foot. As I walked, I focused on each step so as not to slip. This also helped me forget my fear. But I couldn’t help wondering how many innocent souls had been swallowed up by this river and how many had managed to cross the 20-something yards of frozen water and reach China. And how many others, like me, had abandoned their father on his...

Shocking footage has emerged online of a drag queen show for children that took place at a gay bar in Dallas, Texas, on Saturday. The newly-opened “Mr. Misster” hosted a “Drag the Kids to Pride” event where scantily clad drag queens gyrated in front of young children, and invited them to join them on stage. Independent journalists Taylor Hansen (in tutu) and Aldo Buttozoni infiltrated the event, and recorded the depraved antics inside the venue. Everyone needs to go follow @AldoButtazzoni for some of the most important on the ground work in the country— Yes, the drinks were highly necessary....
