The Marxists running the Democrat party continue to push the Overton Window further left – the result? Pedophilia. Joseph Overton, the late political scientist who served as senior vice president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy until his death, developed a political spectrum theory known as the Overton Window. In describing it, the Center states: SNIP The window in the model is not static – it can migrate. What once was “unthinkable” and “radical” can easily become “sensible” and “popular” – this shift displays “the slow evolution of societal values and norms.” E-learning site Preply recently conducted a study,...

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul sent out a press release urging her supporters to “RSVP” to her Republican challenger Rep. Lee Zeldin’s upcoming campaign stop, just hours before a man rushed the stage at one of Zeldin’s events in a failed attack. While Zeldin spoke at a campaign event in Fairport, New York, a man reportedly rushed the stage with a weapon in an apparent attempt to stab him on Thursday evening. Fortunately, Zeldin grabbed the attacker’s wrist long enough for other event attendees to step in and subdue the attacker. However, as people like GOP strategist Arthur Schwartz and...

Attorney Robert Barnes is saying President Trump and Governor DeSeantis have an agreement. President Trump will focus on international issues while DeSantis can focus on domestic issues. To sum it up DeSantis is insurance for President Trump against any federal indictments because Leftists fear them both. Per Robert Barnes this will be announced later. He did not say when. https://banned.video/watch?id=62d8788c71452116cf83545f

Women Against Abuse discouraged black domestic abuse victims from calling the police. Yes, you read that right. It was just two months after the death of George Floyd that one of the largest domestic violence nonprofits in the United States, Women Against Abuse, brought in several diversity consultants to conduct a racial-equity audit. The goal of the audit, Women Against Abuse told staffers, was to become "a fully inclusive, multicultural, and antiracist institution." By November 2020, the organization, which is ostensibly devoted to "serving all survivors," was offering to pay "BIPOC" employees more than their white counterparts and discouraging black...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 42Joseph’s Brothers Go to Egypt 42 When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why do you just keep looking at each other?” 2 He continued, “I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, so that we may live and not die.” 3 Then ten of Joseph’s brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt. 4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with the others, because he was afraid that harm might come to him. 5 So...

To make room for immigrant housing, they need to take land from the farmersThe newly assigned Minister for Nature and Nitrogen Policy, Christianne van der Wal-Zeggelink, is married to Piet van...

On July 20, President Biden gathered with his climate change super friends at Brayton Point Power Station in Somerset, Massachusetts to relay this message to the American people: “As President, I have a responsibility to act with urgency and resolve when our nation faces clear and present danger. And that’s what climate change is about. It is literally, not figuratively, a clear and present danger.” To emphasize just how dire the “climate crisis” has become, Biden added, “The health of our citizens and our communities is literally at stake.” Of course, Biden offered no evidence or data to support these...

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).
