The Supreme Court on Monday sided 6-3 with a football coach who was fired for praying on the field after games, marking another win for religious liberty delivered by the conservative-leaning court. The case surrounds high school football coach Joseph Kennedy and Bremerton School District in the state of Washington. Kennedy, a devout Christian who began working at Bremerton High School in 2008, was fired from his role as varsity assistant coach and as the junior varsity head coach after he refused to quit praying on the 50 yard line in full view of the public following games. Kennedy asserted...

Social media is mostly garbage. My own feed is crammed with doomsday predictions and ads for scammy diets. But every once in a while, between the hashtags and the hysteria, a jewel presents itself.

Crane drops tank with poisonous gas in Jordan's Aqaba port; at least 10 dead, 251 injured

The Department of Homeland Security warned churches and pro-life pregnancy centers to brace for violence in the wake of the US Supreme Court's invalidation of its infamous 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion everywhere in America. "This will be nothing like the prayer sessions outside of Planned Parenthood centers," Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said. "They were easy to disperse. The prayer carried no weapons, issued no threats, and in most cases meekly obeyed orders to leave." Jane's Revenge, a violent pro-abortion domestic terrorist group has vowed "a night of rage." They have already firebombed more than a dozen pro-life...

Seems to me every time something happens in this country that offends the left, violence and burning ensue. Sure enough, after the Dobbs decision was handed down left wing whack jobs took to their favorite past time. There was an insurrection in Arizona. The details sound very familiar: Pro-abortion rioters attempted to storm the Arizona capitol building in Phoenix while the state’s senate was in session. Pro-life Republican state Senator Kelly Townsend, who was inside the senate building, tweeted members of the Senate were “being held hostage inside the Senate building.” Townsend said during one period the senators could “smell...

A MINOR solar storm struck Earth over the weekend, sparking displays of the Northern Lights in the Arctic. The storm was caused by a volley of radiation known as a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME), according to space weather trackers. “Forecasters aren't sure why. The prime suspect is an unexpected CME embedded in the solar wind." G1 storms can cause weak power grid fluctuations and have minor impacts on satellite communications. “Expect unsettled to stormy conditions for the next 48-72 hrs. “High latitude #aurora chasers should get good shows with sporadic views at mid-latitudes.

It is time to understand who is really killing Americans. We recently read an article titled, “Blockbuster Report: Soros Spent Over $40 Million To Install Pro-Crime District Attorneys And Unleash Violent Criminals Endangering Communities.” The Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund’s “Justice For Sale Report” reveals how the left put pro-Black Lives Matter district attorneys and state attorneys in power across the country to let criminals off the hook and endanger communities in the name of “racial justice” According to the Justice For Sale Report: The U.S. currently has 75 George Soros-backed prosecutors overseeing half of America’s 50 most populous cities,...

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is among those criticizing Monday's Supreme Court ruling that sided with a Washington state high school football coach who lost his job for praying after games. "The football field is for playing, not for forcing religion on children," Healey said in a statement. "I'm disappointed that the Court failed to recognize that team prayer can be coercive, alienating, and exclusionary for many student-athletes and their families."

We’ve just seen huge market volatility. This week promises more given it’s month and quarter end with key positioning, portfolio reallocation, and short squeezes all in play. On top of that, the news continues to underline the central thesis: that the ‘one size fits all/one world for all’ neoliberal/liberal/’new normal’ system is collapsing. Red v Blue Friday’s US Supreme Court overruling of Roe v Wade was a shock despite having been flagged in an unprecedented leak. It was leading news on Bloomberg and the Financial Times because it exposes US fault-lines. Overturning a near-50 year constitutional precedent means we have...

Former prime minister Sir John Major has described the contaminated blood scandal as "incredibly bad luck", drawing gasps from families watching him give evidence under oath to the public inquiry into the disaster. Up to 30,000 people contracted HIV and hepatitis C in the 1970s and 80s after being given blood treatments or transfusions on the NHS. Thousands have since died. Sir John later apologised for his choice of language. He said: "I obviously caused offence inadvertently this morning when I referred to the fact that it was awful that people had been fed infected blood and I referred to...

While President Biden was recently praising his government for trying to ensure that kids as young as 6-months-old get injected with an experimental mRNA “vaccine” that doesn’t work and has proven to be dangerous, he also flatly stated that “There’s going to be another pandemic.” Maybe Democrats will get “lucky” and one will break out in the weeks leading up to the November 8th election. But, hey, many “experts” are predicting an increase in outbreaks of pestilence and disease. To wit: according to a recent report on France 24, the World Health Organization’s (WHO) emergencies director Michael Ryan said, "The...

Newly elected Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX) accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) of “pushing” her young daughter out of the way during a swearing-in ceremony last week. In a video of the moment shared on social media, the California Democrat can be seen using her elbow to move the child away from her. “I am so proud of my strong, beautiful daughter for not allowing this to faze her,” Flores tweeted, sharing the video. “She continued to smile and pose for the picture like a Queen. No child should be pushed to the side for a photo op. PERIOD!!” During...

The last thing any nation wants to see is the decline of its safety (think: an empire losing strength as barbarians are set to storm the gates). In our case, the signs of decay are there for anyone to see. But of course, there are none so blind as those who will not see. Here are four examples of troubling trends: Leadership: With Biden, America has a chief executive who must resort to cue cards to know how to enter a room, sit down, and give preapproved and scripted answers to reporters' questions while acting as if his answers sprang...

Amid all the partying and gladhanding and making Vladimir Putin a figure of fun, the G-7 summit in Germany managed to avoid the important topics, such as where the hell greenie Germany is going to get energy from and just what it means when it says it's going to support Ukraine forever. Instead, it moved into its comfort zone, which was "infrastructure" and greenie energy for the Third World, as if the Third World needed more corruption and energy shortages, as greenie Germany is experiencing. Naturally, its idea was to throw money — mostly American money — at the problem....

New York Judge Ralph Porzio ruled on Monday that New York City's extension of voting rights to non-U.S. citizens violated the New York Constitution, the state's election law, and the Municipal Home Rule Law — rendering another Democrat attempt to undermine elections illegal, null, and void. A bill creating the new class of non-citizen voters — potentially numbering as many as 900,000 new voters in New York City municipal elections — was passed by the New York City Council in December 2021, but not vetoed or signed by former Mayor Bill de Blasio. After 30 days without action from de...

The descendants of Presidents James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, and Jimmy Carter can relax. Their families will no longer be associated with a United States President deemed to be the worst in American history. The current occupant of the White House, President Joe Biden, has seized this title after only eighteen months in office. His administration has failed without exception, from their handling of the economy to their disastrous military withdrawal from Afghanistan. Violent crime is increasing in large cities and drug overdose deaths have reached record levels. The President’s disregard for border security has encouraged millions of illegal immigrants to...

SEATTLE - June 5, 2014, 27-year-old Aaron Ybarra of Mountlake Terrace opened fire at Seattle Pacific University, killing one person. As Ybarra attempted to reload his gun he was pepper sprayed by a student security guard named Jon Meis. Police Departments should take a look at this as a training video, or at least to give them shame.
