The supposed family-centered Calgary Stampede, which dubs itself as the “Greatest outdoor show on earth,” is set to host a “Drag Queen” Brunch while at the same time green-lighting its food vendors to sell hotdogs stuffed with bugs. Last month, the Stampede, which is taking place from July 7 to July 17, announced it was offering a “Drag Queen Brunch” as part of the rodeo festivities. The “Drag” brunch concept, which has become popular in recent years notably in left-leaning cities, for the Stampede will include no less than eight “Drag” performers. One of the performers goes by the name...

Maricopa County’s early mail-in ballots are sparking concerns among voters whose party affiliation is clearly displayed in the corner of their envelope. The Gateway Pundit reported that early voting started in Arizona, and the democrats are doing everything in their power to steal another election from MAGA Republicans. The Primary Election will officially take place on August 2nd. Maricopa County’s mail-in ballots are a clear and direct violation of SB1002, which was signed into law by the Governor on March 18, 2021. Arizona Statutes have been updated to read, “The officer charged by law with the duty of preparing ballots...

"And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." "And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS." "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood...

Rep. Lauren Boebert’s open carry-friendly restaurant in Rifle, Colorado, officially shut its doors this weekend due to its lease not being renewed. Ms. Boebert, Colorado Republican, said the news from her landlord was a “shock,” given that she and her husband had owned the establishment, dubbed Shooters Grill, since 2013. “There wasn’t really much wiggle room or anywhere to compromise unless we bought the building ourselves,” Ms. Boebert told the Post Independent, referring to her new lease. The congresswoman said she plans to maintain Shooters’ place in the community via a scaled-down version that could look like a bakery or...

She was 73. “I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City,” Donald Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, his social media platform. “She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life. Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. She was so...

One of the most enigmatic, sensational, and misguided thinkers of the last 10 years is Israeli historian and pop philosopher Yuval Noah Harari. His book Sapiens, published in English in 2015, sold over a million copies as it told the story of mankind’s evolution. His 2017 book Homo Deus predicts a transhumanist future, a world where technology fundamentally reshapes what kind of entity human beings are. “We humans should get used to the idea that we are no longer mysterious souls. We are now hackable animals,” he told attendees at the 2020 World Economic Forum annual meeting. “By hacking organisms,...

[Catholic Caucus] Francis Can't Remember His Own DocumentFrancis said in his July 11 TelevisaUnivision interview that he likes to recite the prayer of St Thomas More (+1535), the English martyr murdered by Amoris-Laetitia King Henry VIII.According to Francis, this prayer is also quoted in footnote 101 of his Apostolic Exhortation “Exultate et jubilate.”However, the correct name of the document is “Gaudete et exultate,” Francis third Apostolic Exhortation, published in March 2018, about the call to holiness, a very mediocre, polemical text, that had no impact on the Church.

Israeli liberals cheered for Trumps downfall and the Democrats' rise to power because of their need to appear enlightened. We are all paying for this sin. Many Israelis are concerned over the US president's impending visit. His itinerary is already published, the subjects on the table are known, and people are indeed worried: over the Palestinian consulate, construction in Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, and Sheikh Jarrah. A dark cloud will hang over the visit, which the Palestinians' desire to extract a win from this visit and the administration's aspiration to provide one. We can only hope the visit comes and...

The Associated Press announced an update to its stylebook Wednesday, advising journalists to quit using phrases like “assault rifle” or “assault weapon.” The AP tweeted the update, noting, “The preferred term for a rifle that fires one bullet each time the trigger is pulled, and automatically reloads for a subsequent shot, is a semi-automatic rifle. An automatic rifle continuously fires rounds if the trigger is depressed and until its ammunition is exhausted.” The update continues: “Avoid assault rifle and assault weapon, which are highly politicized terms that generally refer to AR- or AK-style rifles designed for the civilian market, but...

Britain and Japan are close to an agreement to merge their next-generation Tempest and F-X fighter jet programmes, with the two countries aiming for a deal on a new joint project by year-end, three sources told Reuters. It would be the first time Japan has sought a non-U.S. partner for a large military programme and the first major collaboration between Tokyo and London, going beyond what had been expected when industrial talks began five years ago.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Republicans in Congress are lining up behind legislation that critics say would roll back protections for transgender people, setting a playbook for action on a divisive social issue should they take control of Congress this fall. Republicans in the House of Representatives have introduced a bill that would block federal funding to colleges where transgender women are allowed to participate in sports with cisgender women. A separate bill would allow transgender people to sue medical personnel who helped them transition as minors. Another bill would block funding to schools that disobey state laws regarding "materials harmful...

The U.S. Senate will likely vote this summer on admitting Sweden and Finland to NATO. Prior to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, I have been an automatic “no” on expanding NATO to Russia’s borders. I have seen such expansion as needless provocation. But Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has changed the world and a realistic view of foreign policy changes as the world does. In this new world, I am less adamant about preventing NATO’s expansion with Sweden and Finland. In the coming days I will propose conditions to the treaty stating that Article 5 does not supersede the constitutional requirement that...

Rather, the comet's behavior is probably typical for comets making their first trip toward the sun — we just haven't been able to observe it before. "What makes this comet special is that it was discovered early," Jewitt said. "We've been able to follow the way the comet changes with distance from the sun over a much larger range than has ever been done before." Comet K2 comes from even farther away than the Kuiper Belt, Jewitt said. The comet's original home was most likely the Oort Cloud, the repository of comets and planetary fragments that extends from 2,000 to...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nick Barragan is used to wearing a mask because his job in the Hollywood film industry has long required it. So he won't be fazed if the county that's home to Tinseltown soon becomes the first major population center this summer to reinstate rules requiring face coverings indoors because of another spike in coronavirus cases. “I feel fine about it because I’ve worn one pretty much constantly for the last few years. It’s become a habit,” said Barragan, masked up while out running errands Wednesday. Los Angeles is the most populous county, home to 10 million...
