Jacob Blake's father and Breonna Taylor's aunt were reportedly arrested while protesting the police killing of Jayland Walker in Akron, Ohio. Protests have been taking place in Akron since Walker, a 25-year-old Black man, was killed by officers in a hail of gunfire following a pursuit in the early hours on June 27. Police later confirmed Walker was unarmed and released video footage of the shooting, fueling further outrage.

American citizens must believe in the sanctity of our Republic. They must believe she is worth fighting and dying for. They must trust that putting their children in harm’s way is noble and worthy. Twenty-three percent fewer young men and women, but especially men, want to stand in that gap. There are theories about why. Young people are going soft. Chubby video game players can’t qualify. The idea of self-sacrifice is old-fashioned and noble virtues like self-sacrifice, personal betterment, and courage are no longer inculcated. The military is going woke and young men don’t want to be bossed around by...

Ruling last week in favor of a football coach who insisted on praying on the field, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out 60 years of legal precedent, leaving the nation's schools in the untenable position of having little recourse to protect students from religious coercion on campus.

The “anti-disinformation” industry has nothing to do with protecting a gullible public from information that might cause them to make bad or unhealthy choices. It’s about creating and directing a narrative for the purpose of controlling the population and hiding truths that might overthrow the ruling cabal and its plans for a one world government.. In 1948, the CIA’s Office of Special Projects launched Operation Mockingbird, a clandestine CIA media infiltration campaign that involved bribing hundreds of journalists to publish fake stories at the CIA’s request.. During the Cold War, CIA propaganda disparaged communist ideologies. Today, it promotes radical ideas...

The US and its Nato allies deservedly won the Cold War. The western values of democracy, freedom, human rights, rule of law and market economy prevailed over the Soviet Union’s communist totalitarian system. The latter imploded, broken by its inefficiencies, miscalculation, military overstretch, and delusions. Germany was reunified and the Warsaw Pact dissolved; not a single shot was fired. Three decades on, the global political and economic landscape could hardly be more depressing. The so-called US-led rules-based world order is crumbling. Globalisation seems to be in retreat, economic and energy supply chains have been disrupted, and a global recession is...

On the last day of the Supreme Court’s term, in a case called West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency, the Court declared that the Clean Air Act does not clearly authorize the EPA to create a Clean Power Plan — in other words, to set standards for emissions from existing power plants with a view to encouraging “generation shifting” of electricity production toward sources that emit less carbon dioxide. If this does not sound like the stuff of great events, it was made so by the court’s approach to the case. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., writing for the...

The Bible In Paintings 2 ENCOURAGEMENT FOR APPRECIATING AND APPLYING GOD'S MESSAGE ISRAEL REJECTS GOD, GETS BANISHED2nd KINGS CHAPTER 17 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned nine years. He did evil in the eyes of the LORD. Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up to attack Hoshea. The king of Assyria invaded the entire land, marched against Samaria and laid siege to it for three years. In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and deported the Israelites to Assyria. ALL THIS TOOK...

Meet the amazing Brian Deese, savior of the planet and Joe Biden’s mouthpiece for the “liberal world order.” Last Thursday, CNN’s Victor Blackwell asked Brian Deese, Joe Biden’s director of the National Economic Council, how American families could cope with surging gasoline prices. “This is about the future of the liberal world order,” Deese replied, “and we have to stand firm.” To borrow from Sir Bedevere, who is this who is so wise in the ways of economics? “Brian is among the most tested and accomplished public servants in the country,” says Biden, “a trusted voice I can count on...

General Motors CEO Mary Barra and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have had some serious words for both imposter president Joe Biden and WEF chairman Klaus Schwab as well as others. It all has to do with debates over the Fourth Industrial Revolution related to energy storage. Battery storage of electricity and how fast electric vehicles (EVs) should become a standard as part of the World Economic Forum as part of WEF’s Global Battery Alliance. The WEF is working to enact a Carbon 55 plan whereby they will legislate a 55% reduction in vehicle emissions by 2030 and achieve “carbon neutrality”...

Moscow smacked Boris Johnson on his way out the door as the U.K. prime minister signaled plans to step down after a tenure marked by a staunch defense of Ukraine but many scandals at home. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Mr. Johnson “really does not like us — and we [do not like] him either,” according to the BBC. Mr. Peskov called for “more professional people” to take over at 10 Downing Street. “But at the moment there is little hope for that,” Mr. Peskov said.

In retaliation against the Supreme Court’s recent decision to stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from forcibly shutting down America’s fossil fuel industry – at least to the degree and pace at which this is currently happening – the Biden regime is now threatening to close the country’s largest oil field. According to reports, the EPA is readying itself to cite the Texas-based oil field, known as the Permian Basin, for supposedly violating “ozone pollution standards.” That citation could be the move that drives a final nail in the coffin of America’s last remaining traces of energy independence, which is...

LONDON (Reuters) -Russian officials lined up to celebrate the downfall of Boris Johnson on Thursday, with a leading tycoon casting the British leader as a "stupid clown" who had finally got his just reward for arming Ukraine against Russia.Johnson was expected to announce his resignation after he was abandoned by ministers and his Conservative Party's lawmakers who said he was no longer fit to govern. The Kremlin said it too was no fan of the British leader, whose parents named him Boris after a White Russian emigre."He doesn't like us, we don't like him either," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

In 2018, when then-President Donald Trump warned Germany about their reliance on Russian energy during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly, the German delegation just laughed it off. It’s no longer a laughing matter now. Russia announced in June that it will reduce natural gas flows to Germany by roughly 40 percent. The German government recently declared that the country had entered the “alarm stage” of the emergency gas plan, calling on its citizens to reduce consumption. In London, the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned that Russia could cut gas supplies to Europe entirely to boost its leverage...

Probably you think that the justices sitting on the U.S. Supreme Court must be among the most intelligent people in the country. Granted, the mainstream press spends a lot of time denigrating the intelligence of the conservative justices. But surely then, the liberal justices must be really, really smart. Consider Justice Elena Kagan. She was the Dean of the Harvard Law School. Then she became the Solicitor General of the United States. That’s the person in charge of arguing the government’s positions in the Supreme Court. You need to be really smart to do that job. So if you’re looking...

Alarm! As most economists are aware, unemployment rates are not a leading indicator of a recession. But job cuts ARE a leading indicator. Challenger US job cuts rose 58.8% YoY in June. Combine that with negative REAL wage growth (-3.34% YoY) and we have a problem. Unemployment rate (U-3) is a poor leading indicator of recession since unemployment rates are the lowest before a recession. Further signaling problems for the might US economy is the US Treasury yield curve (10Y-2Y). It is inverting. In this slowing economy, there will be fewer people singing “Take This Job And Shove It!”.

Why the sudden total collapse of the Ukrainian forces in LissichanskTwo years after the Serbian war, an American general asked his Serbian counter-part what it was like to have fought against the greatest military power in history. The Serbian general replied, " I don't know, we've never fought Russia."

It was only a couple of months ago that the congressional Pro-Choice Caucus sent out “messaging materials” with new instructions on how to argue with pro-lifers. First, they recommended replacing “choice” with “decision.” Out: “Safe, legal, and rare”; In: “Safe, legal, and accessible.” And there were no longer “unwanted” pregnancies, only “unexpected” pregnancies. None of these have caught on, and it’s easy to see why. NPR has a piece out about how “vaccine foes” — nice choice of words there — co-opted “My body, my choice” from the pro-abortion movement. What NPR is actually talking about without saying it is...

Former President Donald Trump took the opportunity Wednesday to remind Arizona Republican primary voters that he is endorsing Kari Lake in the race for governor as early mail in voting begins."Early voting starts today in the great State of Arizona," Trump said in a statement Wednesday. "The people of Arizona have a chance to get a truly great governor, unlike the one you have right now. Make sure you return your early ballot for Kari Lake or vote in person on Aug. 2. With Kari, you'll have election Integrity, strong borders, safe streets, and all of the other things you've...
