WASHINGTON, Friday, July 11. The Richmond Examiner, of the 7th has been received here. Discoursing of Gen. McCLELLAN'S present position it says: "We believe all that was known in the city yesterday, outside of the several circles of Bureaucracy, was that the enemy had taken a strong position, with one of his flanks resting on the river about Berkeley, completely under cover of his gunboats, and his extreme right reaching to Herring Creek, where his position is defended by an almost impassable morass. It was supposed that the enemy would have been attacked yesterday, but there had been no fighting...

As Donald J. Trump weighs whether to open an unusually early White House campaign, a New York Times/Siena College poll shows that his post-presidential quest to consolidate his support within the Republican Party has instead left him weakened, with nearly half the party’s primary voters seeking someone different for president in 2024 and a significant number vowing to abandon him if he wins the nomination. By focusing on political payback inside his party instead of tending to wounds opened by his alarming attempts to cling to power after his 2020 defeat, Mr. Trump appears to have only deepened fault lines...

I can’t help feeling very sorry for Joe Biden. He’s wanted to be president for most of his life, first running 34 years ago. Had his son Beau not died in 2015, Biden might have entered the Democratic primary then; as vice president he would have been a favorite and likely would have beaten Donald Trump. By the time he finally achieved the office he longed for, he was far past his prime. Trump had left the country in ruins, its institutions collapsing, much of the population gripped by furious delusions, and millions traumatized by the pandemic. Biden was elected...

"The current and open fraud regarding the paper gold price in the COMEX market is now as plain to see as the open desperation in the global financial system, which is unraveling in real-time all around us. As risk assets tumble foreseeably into bear territory before a headwind of deliberately rising rates, precious metals have seen headline-making falls as well **** But let’s get to the real heart of the matter, namely: Legalized paper gold price manipulation (i.e., fraud) in the COMEX market, a topic we’ve addressed more than once, here and here. As we’ve openly argued for years, nothing...

HARRISBURG, PA — With the all-important 2022 midterm elections coming up, Pennsylvania finds itself once again in the national political spotlight. Long seen as a bellweather swing state whose gentle sways to the left and right would indicate how the rest of the country was leaning, this year has the added importance of practical influence: the 2022 gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races could be hugely influential to the future balance of power in both the state and nation. The race for the next governor finds voters split along all the old familiar lines: most Democrats support current Gov. Tom Wolf...

“Pres Biden reportedly sold oil fr[om] American reserves to China’s Sinopec which Hunter Biden may still b[e] tied to via his financial ventures in China. If report correct that’s OUTRAGEOUS.” — Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), in a tweet, July 8... The Facts This is all started with a straightforward Reuters article that appeared this month, headlined: “Oil from U.S. reserves sent overseas as gasoline prices stay high.” The article noted that government data showed that more than 5 million barrels released from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) has been exported to Europe and Asia in June. The Biden...

A second venue has scrapped plans to host the premiere of a film featuring several prominent right-wing Pennsylvania figures, most notably State Sen. Doug Mastriano, who is the Republican candidate for governor. The movie, “Return of the American Patriot: The Rise of Pennsylvania,” was originally scheduled to premiere July 16 at Lititz-area theater Penn Cinema, but was canceled by the venue following pushback from members of the progressive advocacy group Lancaster Stands Up. After Penn Cinema dropped the showing, Steven Turley, a popular right-wing Youtuber who produced the film, announced the premiere would be held on the same date at...

Oberlin College is facing $4 million in interest charges after refusing to pay $33 million in court-ordered defamation damages to a mom-and-pop bakery that it slandered as racist. Gibson’s Bakery is reportedly struggling to survive after Oberlin College students and dean of students Meredith Raimondo falsely accused the business of racism. Moreover, students are continuing to boycott the 137 year-old bakery, despite the allegations being proven false. To make matters worse, the woke Ohio college is not paying its court-ordered damage to Gibson’s Bakery. Now, Oberlin College faces paying $4 million in interest on top of what the school already...

Europe has been under intense pressure in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with higher energy costs pushing up inflation across the region. “Unfortunately, inflation continues to surprise on the upside, so it’s once again going to be revised upwards,” said Valdis Dombrovskis, executive vice president at the European Commission. France’s Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire said over the weekend that Europe needed to prepare itself for a total cut-off of Russian gas supplies. ... The euro zone economy is expected to face higher inflation both this year and in 2023, officials told CNBC on Monday, while plans are...

Abortion activist Cecile Richards said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that The Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade would “destroy the Republican Party.” Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “What do you assess the degree of sort of activism and channeling this fear and this grief and this monumental shift in American life for every single woman. Tell me what’s going on in the country around this issue.” Richards said, “I think it’s a mix. I do think honestly some people are in a grieving process. I think just everyday people who literally cannot believe this has happened.” She continued, “But for many...

A Loudoun County Circuit Court judge rejected Monday an attempt by the Virginia county’s school board to shut down a grand jury investigation into the board’s handling of sexual assaults and an apparent rape coverup. If successful, the Loudoun countermeasure would have halted an investigation into two sexual assaults committed at two different schools by the same male student wearing a dress in the girls’ restroom and subsequent school board action — or inaction — in light of the assaults. The special grand jury was initiated by Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares following a day-one executive order from Gov. Glenn...

Disturbing footage has emerged of a toddler cursing and swinging at cops while adults in the background hurled racist slurs in St. Paul, Minnesota, where crime has soared since the killing of George Floyd in 2020. The footage was recorded last week while police were at a home to serve a search warrant in the hunt for a murder suspect, according to local news outlet Alpha News.

On Monday’s “CNN Newsroom,” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) stated that she sees a recent New York Times/Siena College poll showing that 64% of voters who plan to vote in the Democratic primary in 2024 would prefer someone other than President Joe Biden as the nominee “as dissatisfaction, as the frustration of the summer, the heat.” But Democrats will turn things around and gas prices are “going down. All that we have committed to doing, we are doing,” including “making sure that we get baby formula back where it needs to be on the shelves and in the hands of...

Godless, demonic supporters of anarchy, haters of modernity combined with a fallacious sense of self-worth – there are none whom this better describes than Democrats and all of their various hellish conjugations. Conjugations that include but are not limited to Marxists, neo-Leninists and Fabian democratic socialists. Each and every one of these radical demonic social philosophies hates with a passion Jews and those who subscribe to being a crayon color as the highest elevation of self-worth. Regardless of where you find them, they are Erebusic marplots and pernicious liars whose energy is spent on destruction and divisiveness at the expense...
