@RepThomasMassie I called it on March 27, 2020. The popular bill to spend $2 trillion dollars and shut down our economy was “the biggest mistake in history.” That bill and subsequent bills that spent another $4 trillion are the reasons we now have shortages and inflation. Clip... [2 minutes]

Russia’s Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin on Sunday that Moscow and its allies now controlled all of Ukraine’s Luhansk region after capturing the last major city, Lysychansk. (cut) The ministry had said earlier on Sunday that its troops had captured the villages surrounding Lysychansk, encircling the area, and were fighting inside the city. Calls to the Ukrainian General Staff and Defence Ministry went unanswered. The ministry did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.

Are you woke enough to attend Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine? Students literally have to prove it when submitting their application. It shows that medical schools are increasingly interested in pushing political ideology – and less concerned with training physicians. A tipster who’s concerned by identity politics at FAU pointed us to this offensive requirement, which can be found in the list of secondary questions that applicants must answer. To start, they must show they believe in “anti-racism” and oppose “systemic racism”: “As a community FAU Schmidt COM has made a commitment to be anti-racist and address systemic...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 3030 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I’ll die!” 2 Jacob became angry with her and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?” 3 Then she said, “Here is Bilhah, my servant. Sleep with her so that she can bear children for me and I too can build a family through her.” 4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife. Jacob slept with...

“‘You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit’” (Matthew 7:16–17). One’s basic character—attitudes, inner motives, loyalties, standards—eventually manifests itself in his or her life. Christians produce good fruit in their attitudes and actions. But unbelievers, especially false prophets, will eventually manifest bad fruit. False teachers can hide their true fruit for a time behind ecclesiastical trappings, evangelical vocabulary, and false fellowship. But how they behave when not around Christians will soon enough reveal their...

In a normal housing market, a relatively quick and painless home sale is by no means a given. It's not unheard of for homes to sit on the housing market for months on end without a buyer -- especially if they're not priced or marketed well. Today's housing market is different, though. Right now, real estate inventory is down, and buyer demand is strong. That puts sellers in a strong position to not just move their homes off the market quickly, but command strong sale prices. If you're thinking of selling your home, there are certain items you should tackle...

Okay, so it's not a war, but a series of Special Military Operations over a generation or two, involving one country after another, that'll be collectively known in Russia as the Second Patriotic War. Who knew? Link is just to the latest segment - and no,this isn't a Brass Eye satirical show, it's what passes for serious punditry in Russia's mainstream media.

Some employers in Florida will be prohibited from requiring their employees to attend activities that promote or otherwise endorse certain concepts related to race and sex beginning July 1, 2022. Specifically, the Stop Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees Act (Stop WOKE Act) (HB 7), which passed earlier this year, amends the Florida Civil Rights Act to create a new basis for an employment discrimination claim. Prohibited Activities for Covered Employers The new law, which applies to employers with 15 or more employees companywide, makes it an “unlawful employment practice” to require employees to attend any activity that “espouses, promotes,...

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — Starting July 1, people who live in the Town of Perinton will have to pay for their recycling to be picked up. For years, as part of a deal with the landfill in their backyard, residents were able to get their recycling picked up for free by Waste Management weekly but that deal was recently renegotiated and not everyone is happy about it. Recently, the Town of Perinton entered into a new host agreement with Waste Management.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) - Something is going on with some third-party energy suppliers. Those are companies that compete with RGE and NYSEG. Businesses and homeowners got two letters in two weeks detailing serious financial issues that might delay the bill this month. The first letter told customers the company has to cancel fixed-rate contracts because they don't they're going out of business. The second letter that, to people in Brighton, Canandaigua and Victor, said customers are going back to RGE because their third-party supplier is in "default."

The withdrawal of Ukrainian troops to Seversk, Donetsk region, will allow Ukrainian forces to reduce the risk of immediate encirclement by Russian occupation forces. This is reported by the Censor.No, with reference to data from the Institute for the study of war (ISW). So, it is noted that yesterday Russian troops managed to enter Lisichansk and advance within the city, but the Ukrainian military did not officially announce the withdrawal of troops from Lisichansk, but also did not report on defensive battles around the city. Also, according to American analysts, Russian forces may establish control over the remaining territory of...

@POTUS My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril. Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.

President Joe Biden may face a primary challenge if he runs for re-election in 2024. Analysts speculate Illinois Governor JB Pritzker may be eyeing the White House despite his claims that his focus remains on the state's upcoming gubernatorial race. Pritzker said Wednesday it is 'certainly possible' Biden would face a Democrat challenger, but added: 'It's not something I'm encouraging.'

Ukrainian defenders successfully repelled an enemy assault near Prudyanka in the Kharkiv direction. The enemy also unsuccessfully tried to conduct assault operations near Mazanivka in the Slavyansk direction. This is stated in the operational information of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine regarding the Russian invasion as of 6:00 a.m. on July 3 on Facebook, Censor.NET reports.
