Bill Gates has secured legal approval for the controversial purchase of thousands of acres of prime North Dakota farmland, after the deal drew fury from the state's residents. The state's Republican Attorney General Drew Wrigley had inquired into the land sale, and on Wednesday issued a letter saying the transaction complied with an archaic anti-corporate farming law. The Depression-era law prohibits corporations or limited liability companies from owning farmland or ranchland, but allows individual trusts to own the land if it is leased to farmers, which Gates intends to do. Gates is the largest private owner of farmland in America...

You know what, let’s go ahead and entertain the idea that Joe is right, that soaring high gas prices and economic depression are due to Russia’s war in Ukraine, and not due to the Biden admin’s failure. But NOBODY wants to address WHY Russia moved into Ukraine in the first place. According to Russia, it’s because JOE AND HUNTER BIDEN set up a massive black-site biological network in Ukraine. Nobody wants to admit that the reason Russia is in Ukraine, is largely due to Joe Biden and the ruling families of the DNC, allegedly creating biological weapons in Ukraine. So...

Disney can’t stop.I’m not entirely sure the exact moment it happened, but I remember back in 2013 I was browsing Tumblr to find the latest and greatest in absolute cringe from the leftist youth. It was the first time I had really ever seen the radical concepts that are mainstream today, be it transgenderism, personality disorders, fat acceptance, and more. It was a treasure trove of things to laugh at.One of the things that they really liked to do was complain about Disney movies and how they were horribly sexist, racist, and of course, homophobic. The movie they were up...

The Biden administration is celebrating a win at the Supreme Court in Biden v. Texas, which will allow him to proceed with getting rid of the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy.The policy allowed officials at the U.S. border to make immigrants wait in Mexico rather than cross into the United States by citing a public health crisis – COVID-19 – as the reason they cannot allow more people in. The rule was decried as racist by Democrats, and upon entering office, Biden worked to undo it. He was initially blocked by a judge in Texas, but took it all the...

DISNEY-owned Marvel Comics is set to debut its first openly gay Spider-Man, with effeminate characteristics, dressed in lace, in an upcoming book due out in September. The comic book company first informed fans of its plans with a June 16 solicitation, that described the new character as, “WEB-WEAVER: A not-so-mild mannered fashion designer at Van Dyne gets spider-powers and shows us a very different kind of Spider-Slayer,” according to Comic Book Resources. But that is not the only notice revealed by company employees. Writer Steve Foxe also noted that he has the “huge gay honor” to introduce the first gay...

Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s deadline for the Biden administration to respond to his request that they cancel an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposal passed on Wednesday, and he now plans to take action to protect the nation’s gasoline supply himself. The proposed regulations take aim at the Permian Basin, the largest oil field in the United States, accounting for 95,000,000 gallons of gasoline per day or 40% of the oil produced domestically, according to the Texas Governor’s Office. Abbott claimed that the EPA’s proposal would further raise gas prices for consumers when fuel already costs more than $5 per gallon...

Abstract Black women have been experiencing induced abortions at a rate nearly 4 times that of White women for at least 3 decades, and likely much longer. The impact in years of potential life lost, given abortion’s high incidence and racially skewed distribution, indicates that it is the most demographically consequential occurrence for the minority population. The science community has refused to engage on the subject and the popular media has essentially ignored it. In the current unfolding environment, there may be no better metric for the value of Black lives. While induced abortion remains a contentious political issue, there...

Tory deputy chief whip Chris Pincher has resigned from the government, as a newspaper alleged he groped two men at a private members' club. In his resignation letter, he told the PM he "drank far too much" and "embarrassed himself and other people". Witnesses told the BBC he was seen "extremely drunk" at the Carlton Club, the Conservative Party members club in London on Wednesday night. The BBC has approached Mr. Pincher for comment. A Downing Street source said as things stood he would face no further action from the party...

[Catholic Caucus] McElroy and other church liberals ponder his appointmentWas it solar panels, his 'high esteem,' lack of West Coast cardinal, or message to U.S. Church?Why did the pope decide to make San Diego’s bishop a cardinal?

What does it all mean for the Diocese of San Diego?Cardinal-designate McElroy has his own take on these questions.At the diocese’s fifth annual Pentecost Mass for All Peoples on June 4, he jokingly credited his selection to the fact that San Diego is the U.S. city “closest...

The Supreme Court said Thursday that gun cases involving restrictions in Hawaii, California, New Jersey and Maryland deserve a new look following its major decision in a gun case last week. In light of last week's ruling — which said that Americans have a right to carry a gun outside the home — lower courts should take another look at several cases that had been awaiting action by the high court, the court said. Those cases include ones about high-capacity magazines, an assault weapons ban and a state law that limits who can carry a gun outside the home. Supreme...

A major spring snow storm dumped more than 3 feet of snow on northwest Wyoming over the Memorial Day weekend, stranding dozens of travelers on the Chief Joseph Highway. Dozens of people caught in the storm that closed Wyoming Highway 296, which connects Cody to Cooke City, Montana, and the Beartooth Highway, had to be rescued by Department of Transportation personnel, according to Cody Beers, a department public relations specialist. “There were vehicles blocked there last night and spun out on the road,” Beers told Cowboy State Daily midday Monday. “There’s at least two feet of snow up on (Dead...

It’s a fan favorite scene from “The Office,” where the star of the TV show relies a little too much on GPS and ends up in a lake. The same thing is happening here in Wyoming, but without the lake. Faulty GPS directions are directing travelers in southern Wyoming to Colorado. The Wyoming Department of Transportation is warning that Google Maps is wrongly telling people that Interstate 80 near Rock Springs is closed and then rerouting the travelers to Colorado, which would add add many hours on to their drive time. WYDOT spokesman Doug McGee attributed the faulty information to...

In his opening monologue tonight, Fox News host Tucker Carlson outlined a political list of DOJ and FBI targets over the past 18 months. Some of these examples are probably forgotten; however, when you see the examples highlighted with a timeline it really does showcase how our system of government has been weaponized by a corrupt Dept of Justice and corrupt FBI.
