VIDEOIn 2017 Samantha Bee of canceled "Full Frontal" show traveled to the Kurdistan region of Northern Iraq and went full condescending Drama Queen when she found out that all of the Kurds she met fully supported (GASP!) President Donald Trump. One Kurd in particularly stood out for HILARIOUSLY mocking Bee's Drama Queen antics as you can see. Her low rated show will NOT be missed in Kurdistan nor anywhere else.

On Tuesday CNN reported on how Chief Justice John Roberts worked up until the last minute in an attempt to flip conservative justices on the Roe v. Wade decision. Steve Bannon says CNN could not have reported this without John Robert’s assistance, via Midnight Rider. This makes you wonder if it was Chief Justice Roberts who leaked the decision to the press months before it was announced hoping to change some minds? CNN reported: Chief Justice John Roberts privately lobbied fellow conservatives to save the constitutional right to abortion down to the bitter end, but May’s unprecedented leak of a...

Don’t go, Boss! That’s my strong advice to President Trump as he prepares to deliver a speech in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday at his alleged “think tank,” the America First Policy Institute (AFPI).Yes, it is important for President Trump to have a well-credentialed stable of policy experts capable of both building a 2024 platform and finding solid MAGA talent to populate a new Trump Administration. But the AFPI Trojan Horse—whose leadership is now bragging about how it will staff Trump’s “shadow cabinet”—is decidedly not that.Most comically, the AFPI roster features the author of a poison pen White House memoir who...

The Los Angeles Times editorial board has called for former President Donald Trump to be charged with “conspiring to defraud the United States and conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, the electoral vote count” on January 6, 2021.The Times takes at face value the case presented by the one-sided January 6 Committee, without any cross-examination or even the opportunity to see the full testimonies of witnesses — some of whom say their testimony was misrepresented.Many congressional proceedings are met by protests, some of them unruly; Democrats staged a sit-in on the House floor in 2016 to demand gun control, and...

The Biden administration is once again moving to abridge American rights, using its favorite new and invented minority, “transgender” people. The primary right being abridged in this case is freedom of religion, as the concept of pretending to be a gender different from one’s birth gender runs counter to many faiths. The right is also tied directly into the questionable morality of medical treatments such as puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgery. Transgenderism is also being used by the radically liberal administration to limit people’s speech by requiring them to use inaccurate pronouns, to destroy the security and privacy of...

“Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce want to do a favor for the Chinese Communist Party so they can get a favor in return and make money on their short-term balance sheets, while increasing the risk of American investors, in a Chinese Communist Party that’s building the machine that’s attacking our democracy and our way of life. … And they’re willing to sell out America’s national security to do it.”

Germany's leading energy expert says she's living in a nightmare. What's worse, she saw it coming. Germany had vowed to ditch coal but is now restarting mothballed, coal-fired power stations For 15 years Claudia Kemfert says she tried to warn politicians and the public that the country was too reliant on Russian energy. Until recently Germany bought more than half of its gas from Russia. She advised Berlin to find other sources and focus more on renewables. And she warned against the construction of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline through which Germany receives much of its gas. "That's what I...

As it becomes clear that The U.S. has entered a recession, Biden Administration officials appear to be using semantics to avoid admitting it, with some suggesting ‘its not a recession, it’s a transition’. Apparently, what once constituted a recession, two continuous quarters of negative GDP growth, somehow doesn’t anymore: ****************************************************************************************** RNC Research @RNCResearch · Follow REPORTER: “Two negative quarters, two contracting quarters, means that the economy is in a recession. Do you believe that?” BIDEN ADVISOR GENE SPERLING: “That is not the actual definition of a recession. It is a significant contractionary period over a few months.” RNC Research @RNCResearch...

Futures contracts for delivery next month tied to TTF, the European benchmark wholesale gas price, jumped 20 per cent on Tuesday to breach €210 per megawatt hour, the highest level since early March, a day after Russia warned of lighter flows on the largest pipeline supplying the region. Prices are more than 10 times higher than the average between 2010 and 2020. Russian state-backed energy group Gazprom on Monday said flows on the Nord Stream 1 (NS1) pipeline would plummet to 33mn cubic metres from Wednesday because of turbine maintenance issues. That would amount to a fifth of the pipeline’s...

MEMORIAL OF SAINTS JOACHIM AND ANNE, PARENTS OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY MATTHEW 13:36–43 Friends, in our Gospel today, Jesus explains the parable of the weeds among the wheat.God’s word creates the Church, the community of those who strive to build up the kingdom. But this Church is never absolutely pure and untrammeled, for God’s ways are opposed by a spiritual power, an enemy. His task is to sow weeds among the wheat—clandestinely, quietly, unobtrusively. This sort of coming together of good and evil is to be expected. The Church will always be a place of saints and sinners, and...
