Harsh critics have slammed the G7 leaders for 'sitting around for photo opportunities' as they posed without ties looking like they've 'woken up after a stag do.' The world's seven most powerful leaders, including Prime Minister Boris Johnson, have been blasted online for their seemingly blasé approach to the summit, as they were accused of trying to look 'hip and trendy.' Images of the politicians posing during a photo-call at Elmau Castle, Bavaria, have gone viral on social media - with many pointing out how 'relaxed' they looked. One critic online wrote: 'Why does the G7 Summit look like the...

Top 8 Takeaways from Roe ReversalMilitant rage has nothing to do with rights or reality.Tue Jun 28, 2022Don Feder[1] The left still insists there’s a non-existent constitutional right to abortion. In 1973, an activist court invented a right to abortion, which it located in the First Amendment. The words “abortion,” “choice” and “privacy” appear nowhere in the Constitution. Roe v. Wade was a piece of judicial prestidigitation.Now, justices who are faithful to the intent of the framers have righted a very great wrong that resulted in over 63 million deaths in 49 years.[2] For the left, violence is the norm....

For the left, ‘democracy’ is no longer just a euphemism for ‘policies I want,’ it’s a belief in a system that exists outside the Constitution. Those who seek to destroy or delegitimize the Supreme Court for upholding the Constitution are no better than those who desire to overturn or delegitimize presidential elections. In fact, they probably pose a greater long-term threat to American “democracy.” Now, if you believe the above contention is hyperbole, consider that many leftists aren’t merely advocating for court-packing or nullification of the Dobbs decision; they justify those attacks with a litany of other grievances about the...

Housing market is still hot, hot, hot! A national measure of prices climbed 20.4% in April, down from the 20.6% gain in March, the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller index showed Tuesday. Craig Lazzara, a managing director at S&P Dow Jones Indices, noted that April data was showing initial, but inconsistent, signs of a deceleration in price gains. Mortgage rates have nearly doubled since the end of 2021. The run-up in rates, combined with high prices, are squeezing potential buyers and starting to slow housing markets in some of the most popular pandemic boomtowns. Covid monetary stimulus remains in place at inflation...

A lawsuit filed on June 10 by a synagogue in Florida has challenged plans to limit abortions in the state on the grounds that it would violate religious rights and therefore be unconstitutional. The Jewish faith holds the right to an abortion to be inviolable. The Florida bill is set to lower the maximum threshold for abortions from 24 weeks down to 15 weeks from July 1, with exceptions in instances where the medical procedure could save the life or prevent serious injury to the mother. It offers no exceptions for victims of incest, rape or human trafficking. But these...

In a news release, the police said its traffic safety division joined forces with its aviation unit for a speed control operation on Maryland Route 10, a 7-mile expressway that runs from Pasadena to near Glen Burnie.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas signaled his willingness on Monday to undo a 1964 ruling that makes it difficult to sue media outlets for libel. The conservative justice, who was one of five votes to overturn the landmark abortion ruling Roe v. Wade on Friday, issued a dissenting opinion after the high court refused to hear a case brought by a Christian group that sued the Southern Poverty Law Center.

NEW YORK (AP) — MSNBC on Monday solidified its prime-time lineup by appointing Alex Wagner to fill Rachel Maddow's time slot four nights a week, Tuesday through Friday. Wagner, who has worked at CBS News, as a co-host of Showtime's “The Circus” and as an editor at The Atlantic, is on her second stint at MSNBC. She rejoined MSNBC in February after hosting a show on the network a decade ago. Maddow will continue to work in her 9 p.m. Eastern time slot on Monday nights, MSNBC said. It's an important move for the liberal-leaning news network and its president,...

This video exposes a popular climate myth pushed by the media. Although greenhouse gases warm the earth’s average temperature, CO2 does not trap heat! Click bait media thrives on fearmongering and publishes misleading illustrations of solar energy entering the earth’s atmosphere, but no energy or little energy escaping back to space. To blame rising CO2 on climate change they must call CO2 a heat trapping gas, so they c

A portion of California's budget will go toward funding a health insurance expansion for hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants in the state. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a budget deal Sunday that includes funding to expand Medi-Cal – California’s state-subsidized health insurance – for low-income, undocumented residents ages 26 to 49. It is expected to impact roughly 700,000 people across the state. The program is expected to start by Jan. 1, 2024.

Two drug traffickers in California who were arrested last week for being in possession of 150,000 fentanyl pills — enough to kill millions of people — were released back onto the streets, officials said. Jose Zendejas, 25, and Benito Madrigal, 19, both from Washington, were arrested during a traffic stop-turned-drug bust in Tulare on Friday. They were booked into the Tulare County Pre-Trial Facility on charges of possession, transportation and selling of illegal drugs, officials said.

Last week, the Supreme Court eviscerated a woman’s right to abortion, undermined Miranda rights, expanded gun rights and allowed border patrol agents to operate with even further impunity. Today, it ruled that a former Washington state high school football coach can pray on the field immediately after games—regardless of the religious backgrounds of the students.

Russia’s defence ministry has admitted responsibility for a missile strike that destroyed a shopping centre in a central Ukrainian city but denied reports of civilian casualties, saying it had hit a military target. Ukrainian officials said at least 20 people died in Monday’s air strike on Kremenchuk, 25 were being treated in hospital and 40 were missing. Rescue workers are still searching the site and authorities expect the death toll to rise. The attack, which is likely to lead to one of the worst civilian death tolls in a single strike since Russia’s invasion of its neighbour in February, was...

This is not some grand conspiracy, ‘out there‘ deep geopolitical possibility, or foreboding likelihood as an outcome of short-sighted western emotion. No, this is just a predictable outcome from western created events that pushed specific countries to a natural conclusion based on their best interests. You can debate the motives of the western leaders who structured the sanctions against Russia, and whether they knew the outcome would happen as a consequence of their effort, but the outcome was never really in doubt. Personally, I believe this outcome is what the west intended. The people inside the World Economic Forum are...

CAMP BEFORE RICHMOND, Thursday, June 26, 1862. The field of the Seven Pines has been the scene of another conflict, less hotly contested, less sanguinary, but on the whole, more satisfactory in its results than the one with which the month opened. No longer the subjects of an unexpected attack, but advancing this time against the enemy, under the immediate direction of the Commanding General, our troops have achieved a decided advantage, securing a position somewhat nearer Richmond, and leaving but a single belt of forest between them and that city. Since the three days' battle with which the month...

President Trump taught Republicans how to fight, but Anthony Sabatini didn’t need many lessons. Sabatini can brawl with the best of them and has been fearless in engaging RINOS and Democrats. State Representative Anthony Sabatini, who is running for U.S Congress in Florida’s 7th District, has no interest in performing a balancing act. Sabatini makes no apologies for his confrontational stance against both RINO’s (Republicans In Name Only) and Democrats. Tacking to the right of Republican colleagues who have made firing Fauci their rallying cry, he recently said that Fauci should “be in prison for the rest of his life”...
