The war on America's suburbs has opened a new front. Buried in President Biden's proposed budget for 2023 is a $10-billion bribe for suburban communities to remove zoning barriers to high-density housing. The federal government promises the suburbs funding for street improvements, traffic control, and water and sewer lines if they adopt "housing-forward policies" that eliminate single-family zoning and open their communities to "affordable housing." This is no benign endeavor to provide more housing. It is a strong signal to Democrat-controlled states to gear up the decades-long efforts to bludgeon affluent communities into submitting to "housing justice" and providing their...

Do you support the Second Amendment freedom to keep and bear arms? If so, you are akin to people who fought for the right to own slaves! That is, if you believe Ibram X. Kendi, a CBS News "Racial Justice Contributor," and anti-racism maven. Appearing on Sunday's Face the Nation on the occasion of Juneteenth, host Margaret Brennan asked the radical Kendi how he would explain the meaning of the holiday to his six-year-old daughter. Replied Kendi: "I'm actually going to teach her that . . . throughout this nation's history, there's been two perspectives on freedom, really two fights...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 23The Death of Sarah 23 Sarah lived to be a hundred and twenty-seven years old. 2 She died at Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went to mourn for Sarah and to weep over her. 3 Then Abraham rose from beside his dead wife and spoke to the Hittites.[a] He said, 4 “I am a foreigner and stranger among you. Sell me some property for a burial site here so I can bury my dead.” 5 The Hittites replied to Abraham, 6 “Sir, listen to us. You are...

Massive election fraud in 2020 is a conspiracy, but it is no longer merely a theory. Many conservative commentators have noted that Dinesh D'Souza's documentary, 2000 Mules, offers compelling evidence of large-scale vote fraud. It offers more than this, though. It provides compelling evidence of a massive, centrally coordinated conspiracy to commit vote fraud. Examining several states with different voter laws while focusing on just one form of fraud, the movie found that the method of fraud was executed identically in each of these states. That is prima facie evidence of central organization and management. From the moment counting was...

Could this be what President Trump meant in 2017, when he spoke of "the calm before the storm"? President Donald Trump, while meeting with a group of military leaders in the White House in 2017, cryptically warned of “the calm before the storm.” When asked by reporters what he meant he simply replied, “You’ll find out.” There has been much speculation as to what “storm” Trump was referring to, ranging from overturning a fraudulent election to devolution. While his comments from five years ago remain inscrutable, today a real storm is on the horizon, plain to any American consumer. This...

French President Emmanuel Macron’s party lost its parliamentary majority Sunday, as factions to his left and right both made significant gains. France held the second round of voting for its legislative elections Sunday, nearly two months after voters reelected Macron in April. Macron, who defeated National Rally candidate Marine Le Pen in a rematch of the 2017 election, won a comfortable 17-point victory – but fell short of the 32-point landslide he enjoyed five years earlier. In her concession speech, Le Pen claimed that her improved showing in the 2022 election marked a victory for the French nationalist movement, and...

How crazy was The Federal Reserve’s overreaction to the government shutdowns surrounding the Covid epidemic? While most analysts talk about California, I am going to discuss … Cleveland Ohio as an example of how The Fed can destroy markets. The Case-Shiller home price index for Cleveland rose 31.5% since January 2020 just before The Fed unleashed its massive monetary stimulus on an unsuspecting city. But as The Fed starts to tighten monetary policy after Yellen’s too loose for too long policies followed by Powell, foreclosure rates are soaring in Cleveland. In fact, according to Attom Data, 5 of the top...

Trump is trying to claim that he never endorsed Kevin McCarthy for speaker even though he endorsed him two weeks ago. A couple of weeks ago, Trump endorsed McCarthy and said he was “an outstanding Representative for the people of California, and a strong and fearless Leader of the House Republican Conference.” However, according to The Washington Examiner, Trump now claims that he never endorsed McCarthy for speaker, “Towards the end of a recent interview, Trump interjected to correct conservative talk show host Wayne Allyn Root after he said Trump endorsed McCarthy for speaker. “No, I haven’t,” Trump said. “No,...

Alabama voters Tuesday will choose party nominees for offices up and down the ballot, ending a primary campaign largely focused on culture war issues and personal backgrounds. State Republicans will choose their nominees for U.S. Senate, secretary of state, state auditor and the Alabama Public Service Commission. Democrats will choose a nominee for governor. One would need an electron microscope to determine ideological differences between the candidates. The campaigns and arguments have centered around personal qualities and qualifications. If traditional trends hold, it will likely be a small group of Alabamians who make the decisions about the next round of...

The race between Fetterman and Oz is still in its infancy, but a USA Today Network/Suffolk University poll released this week showed the Democratic lieutenant governor leading by a 9-point margin. But Fetterman and his party are facing a difficult political environment this year, and there’s still time for Oz to solidify his support among Republican voters.

Rep Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said on Sunday that former Vice President Mike Pence was a hero on Jan 6, 2021, for resisting pressure to overturn the 2020 election from former President Trump and his allies. During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” moderator Chuck Todd asked Raskin, a member of the select House panel investigating Jan. 6, if he considers Pence a hero for defying Trump’s orders. “Well, you know, in a time of absolutely scandalous betrayal of people’s oaths of office and crimes being committed all over the place, somebody who does their job and sticks to the...

European natural gas prices rose after rallying 43% last week as Russia’s steep supply cuts put governments on high alert amid a mounting possibility of rationing. Benchmark futures rose as much as 8.1%, with shipments via the Nord Stream remaining at just 40% of capacity. Supply is likely to remain curbed with Gazprom PJSC’s chief Alexey Miller warning there’s no solution for now for issues with the gas turbines essential for the functioning of the pipeline. That’s forcing major European consumers to withdraw gas from the reserves they have been building for the winter when demand typically peaks. The government...

Gazprom in mid-June announced gas flows from Russia to Germany through the key pipeline Nord Stream would be reduced by about 40 percent, arguing that German engineering company Siemens had failed to provide the equipment needed to carry out repairs. Production cuts due to gas shortages could disproportionately affect producers of energy-intensive basic materials like chemicals, steel, fertilizers or glass. Some industrial installations would be permanently damaged if they have to be turned off for an extended period of time. Company leaders have therefore warned against “dramatic” consequences of a domino effect in supply chains that could set in if...

A Walt Disney World bus driver who allegedly sent photos of his 'genitalia' to a minor was one of 12 people arrested in an undercover child predator sting operation conducted by Florida law enforcement officials, earlier this month. Thirty-year-old Zachary Hudson was in his Disney bus uniform when Orange County deputies arrested him at the Disney's Magic Kingdom on June 6. An undercover agent, who posed as a 15-year-old girl, caught Hudson in the heinous act. Hudson reportedly sent racy sexually explicit messages to the teen and photos of his genitalia while on his work shift at Disney on June...

Two frat boys from the University of Missouri have been charged in connection with a 19-year-old at the school who was left blind and unable to walk or talk after being forced to down a family-sized bottle of Tito's vodka. Ryan Delanty and Thomas Shultz were indicted Friday in Missouri's Boone County in connection with the treatment of Daniel Santulli, a teenager whose family say was forced to drink until his heart stopped last October during pledge month at Phi Gamma Delta. Shultz is facing an additional felony charge of tampering with physical evidence. He has been left permanently and...
