“You old, red-faced ************.” That’s the line Sean Penn delivered to Ray Walston in 1982’s classic Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Penn was playing Jeff Spicoli, a surfer and stoner, and Walston Mr. Hand, a tight-assed history teacher. The two clash when Spicoli’s late for class. Mr. Hand sends him to the principal, and Spicoli reacts by calling Mr. Hand a “dick.” Not in the final film is Penn’s effort to get Walston truly riled up and add some genuine tension to the scene. As the camera panned over to Walston, Penn dropped the bomb about Hand being a red-faced...

ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Tuesday, July 15, 1862. The position of the main body of the army near Harrison's Landing remains unchanged. Yesterday a squadron of the Sixth United States Cavalry went out a mile beyond the picket line for the purpose of preventing surprise to a fatigue party on duty at a point in the rear. The enemy's videttes were discovered half a mile in advance. For upwards of three hours the two parties sat quietly on their horses watching the movements of each other, until at length the enemy became exceedingly restless and showed signs of hostility. The...

ATLANTA (AP) — The expanded use of drop boxes for mailed ballots during the 2020 election did not lead to any widespread problems, according to an Associated Press survey of state election officials across the U.S. that revealed no cases of fraud, vandalism or theft that could have affected the results. Drop boxes also are a focal point of the film “2,000 Mules,” which used a flawed analysis of cellphone location data and ballot drop box surveillance footage to cast doubt on the results of the 2020 presidential election. In response to the legislation and conspiracy theories surrounding drop boxes,...

Friday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) pledged action against the Biden administration for how it has handled the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. The Texas Republican laid out many of the problems with President Joe Biden’s border and immigration policy. He also said the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas should be a priority should Republicans win back Congress.

In order to understand what the Times is up to, one needs to approach its stories as one would approach those emitted by the Soviet Union or other totalitarian regimes. Is the New York Times playing four-dimensional chess? Or is it only tic-tac-toe with a three-year-old? I ask because I cannot quite fathom the Times’ latest intervention into the January 6 miniseries, its aromatic aria bewailing the fate of Ray Epps. Who is Ray Epps? We don’t really know—not yet. In the immediate aftermath of the January 6 jamboree, he was on the Stasi’s—er, the FBI’s—list of most wanted “domestic...

LONDON, July 17 (Reuters) - The Ukraine war shows that the West's dominance is coming to an end as China rises to superpower status in partnership with Russia at one of the most significant inflection points in centuries, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said. The world, Blair said, was at a turning point in history comparable with the end of World War Two or the collapse of the Soviet Union: but this time the West is clearly not in the ascendant. "We are coming to the end of Western political and economic dominance," Blair said in a lecture entitled...

The Collapsing American Family: From Bonding to Bondage, by Linda Goudsmit, is superb writing and analysis. In clear, simple words and concepts, she explains the complex sociological and political phenomena destroying the American family. More to the point, she has an uncanny knack for distilling motivation down to its barest essence with an economy of wording I have rarely seen. Her goal in writing the book is "to expose the multidimensional, coordinated attacks on the American family as strategic, operational, tactical, asymmetric warfare." In just a few pages, Goudsmit is able to explain the globalist intentions of resetting America into...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 38Judah and Tamar 38 At that time, Judah left his brothers and went down to stay with a man of Adullam named Hirah. 2 There Judah met the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua.

It was at Kezib that she gave birth to him. 6...

Many people realize the DANGER OF THOSE ON THE LEFT, the liberals, who live as if sin does not exist because God is love and merciful, and thus “do whatever you want”, because they believe that heaven is automatic, or at least, hell does not exist! These on the left do not realize that God does not send anyone to hell, but many people do not want to be with God because they are in charge of their lives, not God. They say the Our Father, “THY will be done”, but live “MY will be done”, and thus when they...

In the communique, the leaders renewed their call on Iran to fully cooperate with the International Atomic...

Canada’s medical assistance in dying (MAiD) law is already the most permissive euthanasia and assisted-suicide legislation in the world. Understandably controversial in itself, there are many horror stories surrounding its implementation. For example, as lifesitenews.com recently reported, A 71-year-old widower was admitted to a Southwestern Ontario hospital after a fall. His family says during his admission he contracted an infectious diarrheal illness. He was humiliated by staff for the smell of his room, his family said. He developed a new shortness of breath that was not comprehensively assessed. In this context, a hospital team member suggested he would qualify for...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis got a boost in fundraising, succeeding former President Donald Trump‘s numbers amid speculation about who will run in 2024. Mr. DeSantis raised $45 million in the first six months of this year, compared to Mr. Trump who raised $36 million in a 29% drop the previous half-year. Mr. Trump‘s numbers indicate the first time in the 18 months since he left the White House that his fundraising levels fell below $50 million. Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich defended the former president’s fundraising numbers, adding that he is making other investments in growing the ‘America First’ movement in...

Push is coming to strife in America. Sufficient trust of elected officials at the federal level by constituents is running out of gas. The United States in the 1950s transformed into a non-constitutional form of government, where federal departments collectively hold more authority than elected officials. The transformation broadened in the 1960s and leveled off during the 1990s. The ability to transition back to three branches of government as defined in the U.S. Constitution is the intent of the growing citizen majority today. The increasing friction among all involved parties for restoring the constitutional form of government is heating to...

US President Joe Biden sought to use his first Middle East tour in office to reassert Washington's influence but emerged without a single diplomatic breakthrough, an outcome analysts said was no surprise. On issues ranging from energy prices to human rights and Israel's role in the region, Biden could point only to small -- if any -- gains after four whirlwind days of meetings and speeches. Driving the point home, as Air Force One flew back to Washington Saturday evening, Biden's Saudi hosts downplayed one of the trip's few concrete announcements: their lifting of airspace restrictions on flights to and...

The state of the world is disturbing enough that we don’t need more things to get disturbed about. There’s a Yiddish expression -- Hak mir nisht keyn tshaynik! It means “don’t bang on my teakettle.” Apparently when you went to see someone and they were in the field, workshop or barn, you banged on their teakettle to summon them. So the expression means, don’t bother me. Each day when I check my emails, there are at least 20 messages with the header “disturbing” or some like word designed to get me agitated enough to contribute something to the sender. Honestly,...

On the final day of the Idaho Republican Convention being hosted in Twin Falls, Rep. Dorothy Moon was elected as the Chair of the state's Republican party unseating current chairman Tom Luna. Rep. Moon ran for the state's party chair after an unsuccessful run for Secretary of State against Phil McGrane. Rep. Moon did not seek re-election in the legislature to run in the Idaho Republican primary. Rep. Moon thanked Tom Luna for his service to the party and Idaho. "I promised my fellow Republicans that I will lead our party with civility and conviction. That is also my promise...
