Stay home and shut up: Biden bungles Middle East trip Joe Biden has wrapped up his tour of the Middle East and revealed more gaffes amidst his obvious cognitive decline. Sky News commentator Andrew Bolt has listed Joe Biden’s top five failures of the trip. Apart from Biden’s clear cognitive decline, he’s also humiliated himself by pleading with the Saudis, asking for more oil to help ease the crippling gas prices in the US. ‘But they gave him nothing’ said Bolt. Biden has also been humiliated after saying he wanted to give diplomacy a chance to stop Iran from building...

In a July 20 vote, House Democrats voted down a GOP-led amendment that would have barred the Biden administration and the U.S. Department of Energy from selling oil kept in the United States' Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China. That's right — to hell with future emergencies and current record-high gasoline prices here in America; let's sell our oil to our biggest geopolitical adversary. That should tell you all you need to know about Democrats' priorities. They want to Make America Prostrate Again. Each and every one of the 219 House Democrats who voted to block the amendment should be thrown...

A video of a robot dog firing bullets from a submachine gun mounted on its back has gone viral on the internet, raising concerns if we are actually using technology to such effect, Vice reported. When Boston Dynamics' Spot trots on the floor of a factory or takes a walk on the footpath, he seems like the neighborhood-friendly dog that you can trust. It also helps that the company remains adamant about not using its technology as a weapon. However, it does not take long for someone else to put that idea into action, like in this video below. robot...

America was founded on the principles of capitalism. But there are those who think communism is the solution for every problem, from bad weather to old Joe's dementia. In their book, In Their Own Words, Terry Turchie and Donagh Bracken document that organizations such as the Weather Underground, the Black Panther Party, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and The Democratic Socialists of American have been agitating for communism for decades. We've even got one senator who spent his honeymoon in the Soviet Union and a whole squad of congresswomen who openly support it now. They don't use the word...

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary. My confession: I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think that people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat... Or maybe I can put it another way: where did...

My latest song. There are always regrets.

Addressing military concerns over her potential trip to Taiwan, Pelosi said, "I think what the president was saying is maybe the military was afraid our plane would get shot down, or something like that, by the Chinese." She then qualified her answer by saying, "I don't know exactly. I didn't see it. I didn't hear it."

“He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend. The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor. The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets” (Proverbs 22:11-13).

African American soprano Angel Blue has said she will not perform in an opera in Italy this month because another production held at the theater earlier this year featured performers in blackface. The 38-year-old Grammy Award-winner announced she is bowing out of La Traviata at Verona Arena, in Verona, Italy, later this month. She blasted the theater as 'archaic' for mounting another Giuseppe Verdi opera, Aida, that featured performers in blackface. They include Anna Netrebko, a white Russian soprano, has been cast in the titular role of Aida in Verdi’s opera - despite the character being an Ethiopian princess. In...

Question on final floor repair

When God says, "With his stripes we are healed" we need to understand his view of healing and not just ours because He has a broader view than ours. We only view healing by the physical, after everything has cleared up then we say we are healed. But, God calls you healed right in your condition He doesn't wait until something happens to your body. Because there is a spiritual side to healing and that's what He informs you of in your condition. Like, Jesus for instance Jesus didn't wait for something to happen with a persons flesh to call...

Mayor London Breed vetoed legislation that would have eliminated single-family zoning in San Francisco to allow fourplexes everywhere and six-unit homes on all corner lots.In her veto letter Thursday, Breed wrote that it was with “great disappointment” that she rejected the law, but argued that new requirements and financial barriers added by supervisors “will make it even less likely for new housing to be built under the ordinance’s provisions” than under current state law. “While I support the original intent of the ordinance to add new desperately needed housing options for San Franciscans struggling with the high cost of housing,...

On July 15, 2022, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), amended her original direction to the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence & Security by renaming and expanding the scope of the Airborne Object Identification and Management Group (AOIMSG) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), due to the enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2022, which included a provision to establish an office, in coordination with DNI, with responsibilities that were broader than those originally assigned to the AOIMSG. Today, USD(I&S) Hon. Ronald S. Moultrie informed the...

Abstract The present study examined intergroup judgments made between four groups of non-meat eaters: health vegetarians; ethical vegetarians; health vegans, and ethical vegans. Consistent with hypotheses based on horizontal hostility and the need to maintain ingroup distinctiveness, ethical vegetarians gave unfavorable evaluations to health vegetarians relative to vegans, especially when the mainstream omnivore group was made salient. Contrary to expectations, vegans gave relatively more favorable evaluations to ethical vegetarians than health vegetarians when mainstream salience was low. This was especially true for vegans who were motivated primarily by ethical concerns. When mainstream salience was high, vegans did not distinguish between...

The election integrity group VoterGA has produced a new video on Georgia’s 2020 election, and the video shows obvious and massive voter fraud. This is one of the best videos that I’ve ever seen on how our elections are corrupted by using electronic voting machines. It covers the deceptive practices used in the election night vote, and the “risk-limiting” audit, and the machine recount. It’s the best use of 56 minutes of your life right now — especially before the 2022 midterms. Here are my favorite seven slides from the video. 1) VoterGA is being blocked from reviewing Georgia’s original...

Prosecution team rested its case Wednesday after two days, in federal court in Washington, D.C. Defense lawyers for Steve Bannon in closing arguments Thursday for the former Trump White House adviser argued their client is being deprived of his constitutional right to confront witnesses against him. The argument follows U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols denying Bannon access to House Democrats associated with the chamber's Jan. 6 committee including Chairman Bennie Thompson and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who organized the committee. "I do think we would be entitled to have the whole committee here, quite frankly," defense lawyer David Schoen argued....

Abortion advocates have been raising the alarm about the potential danger of health apps tracking women’s menstrual cycles for years, but the hysteria ramped up into overdrive when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The theory is that data from the apps will be tracked, and authorities will be able to use that data to determine which women had illegal abortions. Leaving aside the fact that this is a myth, it’s incredibly interesting to know exactly who is sharing data about abortion on social media. Abortion is still legal in a majority of the states across the nation, and...
