Twitter attached disclaimers and turned off comments and retweets for a post by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in which she mocks Adm. Rachel Levine, the transgender Biden administration official. In two tweets, Greene referred to Levine, a transgender woman who was born a man and given the name Richard Levine, as “Dr. Dick Levine,” a practice known as “deadnaming,” or calling a transgender person by their original name to mock and denigrate them. “We must do everything we can to prevent Dr. Dick Levine’s pre-teen #WeenieChop,” Greene tweeted from her official account. Twitter declined to remove the post, citing...

President Joe Biden’s Russia-Ukraine policy has been a monumental disaster. Russia’s forces are in the fifth month of laying devastation to Ukraine as Biden continues to write checks to Zelenskyy, with no end in sight.

When speaking to a friendly audience—the American Federation of Teachers—Biden couldn’t resist giving the game away. Did you hear the First Lady blow her dog whistle last week? Jill Biden, who insists on being called Doctor Jill Biden, made remarks in Boston before a gathering of America’s second-largest teachers’ union, the American Federation of Teachers. She let slip in her address something many of us have suspected for a long time. In educratspeak, she admitted that public education is really public indoctrination. As she pandered to teachers, Biden said: There is so much weight on all of you—but you carry...

The federal government hauled in a record $3,835,390,000,000 in total taxes in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 (October through June), according to the Monthly Treasury Statement. That was up $502,438,730,000—or 15.07 percent—from the then-record $3,332,951,270,000 (in constant June 2022 dollars) that the federal government collected in taxes in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. […] At the same time that it was collecting this record $3,835,390,000,000 in total taxes, the federal government spent $4,350,457,000,000. Thus, the federal government ran a deficit of $515,067,000,000 in the first nine months of the fiscal year. …

Government is nothing but "professional advocates" fighting over loot and plunder. Let's "fisk" an article by Jonathan Chait in New York magazine on "The Democrats' Failure is Complete." Chait begins with Joe Biden once dreamed of an FDR-size domestic-reform agenda. Really? With a 50-50 Senate and a 13-vote majority in the House? What planet was it again? But the collapse of negotiations in Congress… Oh no! How could that happen? ...losing its chance to address any domestic social need in an enduring way, Really? Do you Democrats really believe, cross your heart and hope to die, that you have ever...

"He looks at me with his innocent and beautiful eyes. He is asking me to take him out for a walk, but I don't dare. We will get arrested." Mahsa, who has a dog, is referring to a new wave of arrests of pet owners and seizures of their animals in the Iranian capital, Tehran. Police there recently announced that walking dogs in parks was a crime. The ban was justified as a measure to "protect the safety of the public". At the same, the Iranian parliament could soon approve the Protection of the Public's Rights Against Animals bill, which...

When Moscow-installed authorities in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Melitopol began distributing Russian passports, mother-of-two Olesya Novitskaya did not hesitate. "I think we will all live in Russia, and I need a Russian passport," the 31-year-old makeup artist said in central Melitopol, holding her youngest son in her arms. She spoke to AFP during a closely supervised press tour organised by the Russian defence ministry. Currently on maternity leave, Novitskaya had come to apply for a Russian passport with her two young sons. Novitskaya hopes she will be better off under Russian authorities, adding she often did not have enough...

We have had a tremendous victory here in New York: a Supreme Court Judge has struck down Governor Kathy Hochul’s forced quarantine regulation! On July 8, 2022, Judge Ronald Ploetz ruled that the “Isolation and Quarantine Procedures” regulation is unconstitutional and “violative of New York State law as promulgated and enacted, and therefore null, void and unenforceable as a matter of law.” Shockingly, New York’s Governor, Kathy Hochul, and Attorney General, Letitia James, plan to appeal the decision. Yes, that’s right…the Governor and AG, both unabashedly support quarantine camps! One would think that this fact, in and of itself, would...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 40The Cupbearer and the Baker 40 Some time later, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their master, the king of Egypt. 2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker, 3 and put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the same prison where Joseph was confined. 4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them.

BRUSSELS — The European Union will amend its sanctions on Moscow on Wednesday by allowing the unfreezing of some funds of top Russian banks that may be required to ease bottlenecks in the global trade of food and fertilizers, a draft document showed.

A major bridge in occupied Kherson has been hit by Ukraine's armed forces. The Antonivskyy (RU: Antonovskiy) spans the Dnipro river and is the shortest route for the occupiers to reach the city from Crimea.

Purported "guidance" isn't optional for states that risk federal funding by waiting for agencies to "drop the hammer" on them for protecting women's sports, restroom privacy, court says. The Biden administration likely violated federal law by issuing an executive order and guidance equating sex and gender identity without a proper rulemaking, plausibly pressuring 20 states to change their laws recognizing sex-based rights or risk losing "substantial federal funding," U.S. District Judge Charles Atchley Jr. ruled late Friday. The preliminary injunction, issued the same day the University of Pennsylvania nominated transgender swimmer Lia Thomas as NCAA Woman of the Year, said...

What does Mao's Long March have to do with Joe Biden's America? The original Long March refers to a maneuver, a retreat actually, by the communist Chinese during their revolution in the 1930s. The March was a grueling affair. It lasted over a year. Ninety percent of the troops which started were winnowed away before the end. Mao cemented his control of the party in the process. Socialists and communists have used the Long March as a metaphor ever since to inspire monumental efforts for the cause. One of those who employed the image was a German communist, Rudi Dutschke,...

Riots, famines, societal collapse, and cultural invasion — the globalist agenda has created the perfect storm for national instability. For a year, the Biden administration told Americans inflation wasn’t real. Then it was “transitory.” Then it was “sticky.” Then inflation was miraculously “real” but perfectly expected as a result of Covid-19 workplace lockdowns. Then it was an unfortunate but “necessary cost” for patriotic Americans to pay in defense of Ukraine against Russian aggression. Now inflation has risen to an annual rate of 9.1 percent, the highest in more than 40 years. Tucker Carlson has been outlining how Joe Biden’s Green...

For gun-control advocates, anyone with a weapon is a ‘bad guy.’ After a video of law enforcement officers acting like utter cowards at the Uvalde school shooting was released, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., claimed that the incident “puts to bed, forever, the question of whether the way to deal with bad guys with guns is to make sure there are more good guys with guns.” Well, “forever” ended this weekend, when a 22-year-old fatally shot a man armed with an AR-15 who had opened fire in a mall food court in Greenwood, Indiana, killing three. We don’t know all the...
