There has been a burst of stories in recent weeks describing devastating internal conflicts within progressive organizations, the most conspicuous of which was Ryan Grim’s June 13 Intercept piece, “Elephant in the Zoom: Meltdowns Have Brought Progressive Advocacy Groups to a Standstill at a Critical Moment in World History.” Grim’s assessment resonated across the internet and was quickly followed by ...Jon Gabriel’s article in the Arizona Republic on June 18, “Who needs a right-wing plot when progressives are busy eating themselves alive?”...and John Harris’s June 23 Politico essay, “The Left Goes to War with Itself.” ...

The Sacramento County Department of Public Health has expanded recommendations for who should get vaccinated against monkeypox as more cases were reported this week. The California Department of Public Health reported 250 cases, 14 of those in Sacramento. While monkeypox has been around since 1958 and is much less contagious than COVID-19, many of the recent cases reported by CDPH this year have occurred among persons self-identifying as men who have sex with men.

... The answer to why so many are dropping out starts with economics. In the United States, social mobility has declined precipitously over the last four decades. A 2016 study found that since the early Eighties, the chance of middle-class earners moving up to the top rungs of the earnings ladder dropped by approximately 20%. According to projections from Deloitte, by 2030, millennials will be the largest adult generation by far but will own only 16% of the country’s wealth. Gen Xers will hold 31%, while Baby Boomers, who will be entering their eighties and nineties, will control 45%. Partly,...

Both the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have admitted in sworn testimony to the government purchase of drones manufactured in China. The Washington Examiner reports that the admission was made by two officials who testified before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Thursday. Brad Wiegmann, deputy assistant attorney general for the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) National Security Division, admitted that the FBI is purchasing and putting to use drones that have been manufactured by Shenzhen DJI Sciences and Technologies (DJI).

On Wednesday, Ohio authorities charged 27-year-old Gerson Fuentes, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala, with rape of a minor under 13 years old in the case.

Just two months in, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is the most monumental failure at the podium in recorded history: “It’s been a rocky first month for White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Her answers have baffled reporters, and even made some of her White House colleagues wince.” Imagine how bad her performance really has been to induce neoliberal Politico into writing such an unflattering intro paragraph. That’s like a Hindu priest beating a sacred cow. Ordinarily, while covering a sacrosanct immigrant lesbian Person of Color© in such a position, Politico would fawn. Just how historically awful has Jean-Pierre...

VIDEOThe New York Times came out with a puff piece recently defending poor Ray Epps who was perhaps the only active participant in the J6 protests who has been treated kindly by both the mainstream media and the government. Ironically, in the New York Times own documentary about the events of January 6 published on June 30, 2021 the narrator identifies Ray Epps as an instigator who urged people to storm the Capitol.

As Americans are painfully aware, inflation is the highest in 40 years prompting The Federal Reserve to remove the massive punch bowl. In fact, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher “Fats” Waller backed raising rates by 75 basis points this month. How hot was the recent inflation report? The Atlanta Fed’s flexible price index rose to 18.74% YoY. On the other hand, the CORE flexible price index (less energy and food) plunged to 8.46% YoY. The 30-year mortgage rate from Bankrate rose slightly to 5.83% as the implied overnight rate for the July FOMC meeting rose to 3.45%. Inflation is ravaging consumers...

There are now nearly two dozen credible confirmations of wrongdoing, irregularities and illegalities that undercut the claims of bureaucrats, journalists and Democrats that the November 2020 general election was flawless. ***************************************************************** Democrats and their allies in the traditional news media have coined the term the "Big Lie" to dismiss anyone who questions the conduct of the 2020 election. But with each passing day, new irregularities, security vulnerabilities and illegalities are being unmasked by bombshell revelations from courts, legislators and other investigative bodies like the FBI and Homeland Security Department. The latest came last week when the Wisconsin Supreme Court declared...

They wanted Joe Biden, they worked to get Joe Biden, they got Joe Biden. But they claim to be Republicans. Right. And now the results produced by all those Never Trumpers in the anti-Trump Republican Accountability PAC are in. Here is this from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights: Date: 4 July 2022 From 4 a.m. on 24 February 2022, when the Russian Federation’s armed attack against Ukraine started, to 24:00 midnight on 3 July 2022 (local time), the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) recorded 11,152 civilian casualties in the...

Victor Glover literally stepped out in faith last year as an astronaut aboard the International Space Station who participated in four spacewalks. The 46-year-old Navy commander and NASA astronaut shared his faith journey and his high-flying adventures Wednesday at Abell Street Church of Christ in Wharton. His hour-long talk blended stories of his spaceflight experience with biblical lessons. He was part of a four-person crew to make the first SpaceX Crew Dragon flight to the space station, where he worked and lived from Nov. 15, 2020, to May 2, 2021. As a Christian, he never shied away from his faith....

When Will the Indoor Mask Mandate Return? A mandatory indoor mask mandate will be imposed if the county remains in the "high" category for two consecutive weeks -- which, under the current pace, means the mandate will take effect by July 29. "I do recognize that when we return to universal indoor masking to reduce high spread, for many, this will feel like a step backwards,'' Ferrer said. But she said universal masking "makes a lot of sense because it helps us to reduce risk.''

How the Pentagon’s top-brass generals burned the careers of subordinates but then pivoted to lucrative careers all while losing the wars they were supposed to be winning. My new book, A Few Bad Men, details the mendacity and mad dishonesty of retired Marine General James “Mad Dog” Mattis. The fact that it was written by a Marine once under his command, whom he betrayed for the sake of politics and getting to slap on another star, says volumes about this once-lionized figure. It all goes back to an incident in Afghanistan in 2007, and the Court of Inquiry trial of...
