The Biden administration continues to assure that the southern border is 'secure' despite record-setting numbers of illegal crossings and proliferation of the crisis over the last few months. 'Look, the border is secure,' Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Matorkas insisted during remarks at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado on Tuesday. But he added that the administration is still 'working to make the border more secure.' 'That has been a historic challenge,' Mayorkas said, adding that there is a difference between the words 'safe' and 'secure.' But insistence that the border is secure comes amid a prevailing rise...

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has recently sent out a press release calling Florida gubernatorial candidate, Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) the “Joe Biden of Florida.” Rep.Crist, who has a longer political career than his Democratic primary opponent Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried (D-FL), is known by most as the establishment candidate.

A long, long time ago – five decades to be exact – America was roiled by wrenching generational showdowns, massive street protests, and a blazing array of social justice movements. Now, half a century later, similar events and dynamics dominate the public conversation. So, perhaps, it’s poetic that precisely five decades have elapsed since a song that captured all that cultural turmoil, American Pie, became a smash hit. “It’s a song that spoke to its time,” said Spencer Proffer, who has produced a comprehensive new documentary about the song, titled The Day the Music Died. “But it’s just as applicable...

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s government on Wednesday gave the green light to a new nuclear power station that’s expected to generate enough low-carbon electricity to power 6 million homes. Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said development consent was granted for the building of the plant, called Sizewell C, on eastern England’s Suffolk coast. French energy company EDF, which will partly fund the project, has said the plant will generate electricity for at least 60 years and will employ 900 people. The plant will reportedly cost 20 billion pounds ($24 billion). Authorities say the plant will make a substantial contribution toward Britain’s...

hina's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian has accused the U.S. of being "the main driver in turning outer space into a weapon and a battlefield." His comments came during one of the ministry's regular press conferences which often include barbed responses to accusations against China or other developments. In Tuesday's session, Zhao was asked by Chinese state-run news agency China News Service about last month's opening of the U.S. National Space Intelligence Center (NSIC) and whether it posed a risk to "humanity's overall stability". Zhao replied: "The U.S. is the main driver in turning outer space into a weapon and...

Whenever anyone in the public eye dies, especially at a relatively young age, it has always been standard journalistic procedure to determine the cause of death. There are inquiries filed, questions asked, and comments requested. Up until recent months we could expect either a detailed report on a deceased celebrity’s health issues or a direct cause of sudden death, whether it was an accident, drug overdose, suicide, or any other reason they met an early demise. Former NFL player Charles Johnson died this week at the age of 50. After allowing nearly 24-hours for corporate media journalists to do their...

At every opportunity, Manchin has sabotaged Democrats’ agenda. What’s going on here? It’s spelled m-o-n-e-y After putting a final spear through the heart of what remained of Biden’s and the Democrat’s domestic agenda, West Virginia’s Democratic senator Joe Manchin now rejects any tax increases on big corporations or the wealthy – until inflation is no longer a problem. This is rich, in every sense of the word. Raising taxes on big American corporations and the wealthy would not fuel inflation. It would slow inflation by reducing demand – and do it in a way that wouldn’t hurt lower-income Americans (such...

Several minor cannabinoids contained in the cannabis plant "strongly inhibit" the activation of human immune cells that lead to chronic inflammation, according to physiologists at The Queen's Medical Center of Hawaii. The study also revealed the strongest inhibitory cannabinoid, cannabigerolic acid, disrupts a key mechanism that allows calcium ions to enter and activate immune cells. As a result, cannabigerolic acid suppresses the spread of inflammatory signals. Chronic inflammation is a biological process in which inflamed tissues release messenger molecules called cytokines. These cytokines recruit immune cells that become activated and maintain the inflammatory response. This chronic inflammation initiates or exacerbates...

Disney has been suffering badly over the last couple of years, and while it can point to everything from the COVID-19 virus to economic inflation for its lagging sales, the truth is that Disney’s own reliance on modern leftist messaging is the poison that’s slowly killing it.Part of this is its dedication to “the message” which includes consistent references and propagandistic advertising of LGBT and Feminist politics. This can occur both within their products and in the political sphere.I don’t need to remind you that this is the same company that effectively turned against parents in Florida with its promises...

BISMARCK, ND — After seeing President Biden travel to Saudi Arabia to beg for more oil, North Dakota decided to assassinate and dismember a journalist so the president would let them drill for oil. Unable to find anyone with a name matching Jamal Khashoggi, the journalist killed in 2018 by order of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, North Dakota had to settle for local blogger Jamal Kushman, who they assassinated and dismembered. "It's tough, but this is how the U.S. government works; sometimes we have to play their game," said Governor Doug Burgum from the capital Bismarck, previously thought...

Two big money liberal operations, ready to spend $80 million each, are trying to determine who controls elections and how in the years ahead. “The overall objective of the political left is to change the way you conduct overall elections,” Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, which advocates clean elections, told The Daily Signal. One of the two liberal groups, Run for Something, is a political action committee founded by a former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer. In the spring, Run for Something established its Clerk Work project with the goal of electing clerks, election supervisors, registrars, recorders,...
