We should reserve judgment on this one as I’m unfamiliar with the pollster, Blueprint Polling, apart from the fact that (a) it’s the “sister company” to a Democratic polling firm and (b) it’s the same one that recently found DeSantis leading Trump 51/39 in Florida.But the results here are grim enough to be noteworthy, particularly when we’re starving for data from Pennsylvania. There hasn’t been a public poll of the state since mid-June, when one survey found John Fetterman ahead of Oz, 50/44. A Democrat being up six in a swing state in a national environment as red as this...

Biden has released millions of barrels of oil from the country’s strategic oil reserves. While the oil has been released to stabilize global energy markets and lower the prices of gas, of late the oil reserve release has been controversial. The U.S. sold some oil to China’s Sinopec, which has been connected to Hunter Biden in the past. ... 180 million barrels of oil are to be released, which makes it the biggest drawdown on the strategic oil reserves in history. The U.S sold oil to a subsidiary of Sinopec. ... Unipec America was also awarded 0.95 million barrels of...

Hutchinson commiserated with other targets of the probe about how little information she had about any wrongdoing on Jan. 6.Nearly 18 months of private chats between friends from the Trump White House show that Jan. 6 Committee star witness Cassidy Hutchinson dramatically changed her story about what she knew and how she felt about what she witnessed as a White House staffer.When Hutchinson testified in Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s Soviet-style show trial last month, the former White House aide to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said she “still struggle[s] to work through the emotions” of Jan. 6. “As...

The average 12-year-old student at a yeshiva has more wisdom than almost any student at Harvard or most other universities. (A yeshiva is an Orthodox Jewish school with an emphasis on religious studies. About half the school day is devoted to religious studies -- taught from the original Hebrew sources.) This is probably true for many 12-year-olds in traditional Christian schools as well. College students do have more knowledge than almost any 12-year-old in religious school. But they have much less wisdom.I know this because I was a yeshiva student from the age of 5 until 19. To appreciate how...

Much news has been made about Democrats faring increasingly better in the generic congressional poll for the fast-approaching November midterm elections. Republicans still are largely predicted to regain control back of at least the U.S. House of Representatives, and polls often underestimated Republican performance in previous years. A new poll was also recently released to turn that narrative about a Democratic edge on its head. The AARP Targeted Congressional Districts poll, conducted by Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio and Biden pollster John Anzalone shows that the red wave is still expected to come. The poll surveyed overall voters, though voters over...

Roe v. Wade is officially overturned today after decades of abortion on demand that killed 64 million babies. Although the Supreme Court handed down its monumental decision to overturn Roe v. Wade on June 24, the decision doesn’t become official until the nation’s highest court officially enters its judgement. Today, that became official as the U.S. Supreme Court has now issued its official judgment in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. As LifeNews reported, the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, with a 6-3 majority ruling in the Dobbs case that “The Constitution does not confer a right to...

When the Supreme Court delivered its blow to marriage in 2015, burning down three dozen state laws and tearing up 50 million ballots, the GOP’s reaction was straightforward. Outrage. With a handful of exceptions, the response that echoed across the two coasts was a collective “How dare they?” As far as Republicans were concerned, what the five justices did on that June day was a betrayal of the people, our system of government, and the pillar that’s upheld society since the beginning of time. “It’s an injustice,” they railed. Now, seven years later, they finally have a chance to prove...

Since the leak of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft majority opinion in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case that eventually led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, America has endured a “Summer of Rage.” The wave demonstrations saw protesters going far beyond simply donning “Handmaid’s Tale” bonnets and gathering around the Supreme Court. There have been dozens of acts of violence, destruction, and harassment aimed at intimidating anti-abortion Christians and conservatives. In this series of articles, we will identify key players, organizations, and locations in this radical movement. We will also explain elements of the interconnected system that...

Indiana Republican lawmakers have narrowly advanced a bill that would ban nearly all abortions in the state, despite opposition from abortion-rights supporters and anti-abortion activists. Abortion opponents say the proposal as too lenient with its exceptions and lacks enforcement teeth. Chants from abortion opponents such as, “Let their heart beat,” could be heard Tuesday as a committee wrapped up two days of testimony.

The Taiwanese Air Force, also known as the Republic of China Air Force, or ROCAF, has uncharacteristically released photos of weapons loading operations that were carried out in the highly-fortified underground cave-like complex connected to Chiashan Air Force Base. The photos offer a very rare look inside the subterranean tunnel network that houses some of the ROCAF’s most capable fighter jets, including the recently upgraded F-16V Viper that can be seen in the images being armed with Harpoon anti-ship missiles. The ROCAF posted a photo set of the weapons loading exercise on Facebook this morning, writing that the practice is...

Liz Truss urged Dominic Cummings to scrap hundreds of 'woke' civil service roles in an attack on Whitehall 'groupthink', a leaked document has revealed. As international trade secretary in 2020, Miss Truss's office called for the abolition of diversity and inclusion roles in the civil service. Her office reportedly signed off the document to Mr Cummings, who was then Boris Johnson's most senior adviser, criticising the 'risk-averse' Whitehall for its liberal 'groupthink'. And she lambasted the difficulty of firing poorly-performing officials, according to the Telegraph. A source close to Miss Truss told the paper the document represented how she would...

Boise, Idaho–based memory manufacturer Micron Technology says it has reached volume production of a 232-layer NAND flash-memory chip. It’s the first such chip to pass the 200-layer mark, and it’s been a tight race. Competitors are currently providing 176-layer technology, and some have said they are on track to follow Micron’s skyward move or already have working chips in hand. The new Micron tech as much as doubles the density of bits stored per unit area versus competing chips, packing in 14.6 gigabits per square millimeter. Its 1-terabit chips are bundled into 2-terabyte packages, each of which is barely more...

Two teenage girls who allegedly bashed a white woman in the head while snarling that they “hate white people” were slapped with hate-crime charges on Tuesday, police said. The girls, ages 15 and 16, along with another girl who is still being sought, confronted the 57-year-old woman on the Q52 bus in Woodhaven on July 9 and started an argument, police said. The dispute turned violent when the girls whacked the woman in the head with a blunt object, cops said. “I hate white people ... the way they talk,” the victim recalled her attackers saying, police sources said. The...

WASHINGTON — About two dozen anti-Big Tech activists, some in costume, stalked a DC fundraiser hosted by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday evening to demand that he call a vote on pending antitrust legislation. Schumer ended up hunkering down in the Kimpton George Hotel near the Capitol building until after the protest disbanded — as his guests filtered out and earnestly told the crowd that he already left. A person at the 5 p.m. fundraiser for Schumer’s Impact PAC said that the New York Democrat left the event at 5:56 p.m. — so most of the demonstrators returned...

China tried to build a network of informants inside the Federal Reserve system, at one point threatening to imprison a Fed economist during a trip to Shanghai unless he agreed to provide nonpublic economic data, a congressional investigation found. The investigation by Republican staff members of the Senate’s Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs found that Fed employees were offered contracts with Chinese talent-recruitment programs , which often include cash payments, and asked to provide information on the U.S. economy, interest-rate changes and policies, according to a report of the findings released Tuesday. In the case of the economist,...

Text from the tweet is below. Why is he not blinking? There's something 'off' about this video. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-cop. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-American.

“A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself. Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend” (Proverbs 27:15-16).
