In the closing weeks of her campaign, Rep. Liz Cheney, a Republican, is up with a new TV ad that contrasts her primary opponents' stances about fraud in the 2020 election with her own. The ad, first shared with CBS News, features comments made about the 2020 election by three of her primary opponents during their June debate. It opens up with her main opponent, Trump-backed trial attorney Harriet Hageman saying, "We have serious questions about the 2020 election." "We've got to elect serious leaders. We have to elect leaders who will take their oath of office seriously. Leaders who...

“When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief” (Proverbs 28:12-14).

Recruiting among the nation’s military branches is at historically low numbers as COVID, woke leaders and an anti-military culture are keeping young people away. President Biden’s debacle in Afghanistan is also sure to be on the minds of those thinking of joining up, with some wondering, “if the Commander-in-Chief won’t stand behind the military, who will?”The Army National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve, meanwhile, in early July barred 57,000 troops from their duties and cut their pay and benefits. It’s no wonder people don’t want to serve.“We are on the cusp of a military recruiting crisis,” Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.)...

Collectors across the country are seeking pieces of shrapnel, bits of bombs and even the uniforms of dead Russians. It’s part of an urge to feel more directly connected to the cause. When Ihor Sumliennyi, a young environmental activist, arrived at the site of a recent missile strike, the rubble had barely stopped smoking. Police officers guarded the street. People who had lived in the smashed apartment building stared in disbelief, some making the sign of the cross next to him. He started poking around. And then, bam! His eyes lit up. Right in front of him, lying near the...

I don’t think Stacey Abrams is going to win in Georgia. Gov. Brian Kemp may not be the most popular guy and there are issues that Republicans have with him. But when it comes down with it, most people in Georgia are going to come out to make sure that Stacey Abrams doesn’t become governor. Because whatever issues Kemp may have, Abrams is a far worse choice.The polls are all favoring Kemp.NEW AJC poll in GEORGIA:Kemp 48Abrams 43Warnock 46Walker 43https://t.co/Tf8UBB0FGs— Josh Kraushaar (@JoshKraushaar) July 27, 2022pic.twitter.com/8ss97tTc1l— Dr. Nickarama (@nickaramaOG) July 27, 2022As Erick Erickson explained to Fox’s Brian Kilmeade, this...

Earlier in July, media reports announced House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would lead a Congressional delegation to visit the Republic of China, also called Taiwan. This will make her the first Speaker to visit the Republic of China since Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997.Nancy Pelosi plans to visit Taiwan next month to show support for Taipei as it comes under mounting pressure from China, in what would be the first trip by a Speaker of the US House of Representatives to the country in 25 years.Six people familiar with the situation said Pelosi would take a delegation to Taiwan in August....

Meh, I don’t believe it. And yes, I remember that the GOP left Senate seats on the table even in the magical wave year of 2010, nominating Christine O’Donnell instead of Mike Castle in Delaware and sending Sharron Angle into battle against Harry Reid in Nevada. Catherine Cortez Masto isn’t Harry Reid, though. At a moment when inflation is the highest it’s been in 40 years, Biden’s approval rating is well below 40 percent, and Hispanics are shifting towards the GOP, I’m supposed to believe she’s going to overcome all of that and hold onto her Senate seat? She’s polling...

When Rep. Lee Zeldin was attacked during a campaign stop last week he made a prediction about what would happen next. “The attacker will likely be instantly released under NY’s laws,” Zeldin tweeted.His words as he tried to stab me a few hours ago were “you’re done”, but several attendees, including @EspositoforNY, quickly jumped into action & tackled the guy. Law enforcement was on the scene within minutes. The attacker will likely be instantly released under NY’s laws. pic.twitter.com/wZEyIyrjFe— Lee Zeldin (@leezeldin) July 22, 2022And as we all know that prediction came true.The man accused of attacking U.S. Congressman Lee...

You’ve probably heard something by now about the horde of Californians who’ve been leaving the state and moving to states like Idaho, Oregon and especially Texas. Because of the high property values in California, these people often move into the nicest neighborhoods in their new city or town of choice. And because there are so many of these transplants they often drive up the local property values. That’s not always appreciated by the locals.Today the LA Times reports there’s a similar problem in Mexico City where Americans, many of them from California, are fleeing not just their state but their...

We get it. It's hard to read the divinely inspired word of the creator of the universe. He's so judgy! But, since your salvation might depend on it, you better get some great excuses ready to share on Judgment Day.Here are some of the best excuses for not reading your Bible:1. You just went to church last month and don't want to overdo it: You don't want to be an extremist!2. It's not as encouraging as Your Best Life Now: Joel Osteen's prose is to die for.3. If you take your eye off the Hot Pocket you're microwaving for one...

When did it become okay for Americas to live like mere Europeans, to settle, to compromise, to not expect that tomorrow will be better than today? When our country started being run by the pack of establishment weasels that makes up our garbage ruling class. They stopped being loyal to us and started being loyal to a global ideology that demands a “Great Reset” which, when imposed, would leave us impoverished serfs instead of prosperous citizens. But we don’t have to take it, and we’re not going to. As my new book We’ll Be Back: The Fall and Rise of...

People in a southwestern Japanese city have come under attack from monkeys that are trying to snatch babies, biting and clawing at flesh, and sneaking into nursery schools. The attacks - on 58 people since July 8 - are getting so bad Yamaguchi city hall hired a special unit to hunt the animals with tranquilizer guns. The monkeys aren't interested in food, so traps haven't worked. They have targeted mostly children and the elderly. "They are so smart, and they tend to sneak up and attack from behind, often grabbing at your legs," city official Masato Saito said ... When...

Expecting the very worst to happen in any given situation can harm mental health. How do we stop these toxic-thinking spirals?

A new report from Rasmussen Reports shows that a vast majority of Americans are concerned about election integrity and election cheating. Numerous investigations have found evidence of a fraudulent 2020 election in key swing states across the nation and proven that the 2020 Election was rigged and stolen from President Trump. A single election audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, discovered evidence of hundreds of thousands of potentially fraudulent and questionable ballots. Earlier this year, Dinesh D’Souza and True the Vote’s “2000 Mules” documentary exposed a nationwide illegal ballot trafficking ring that inserted hundreds of thousands of ballots into key swing...

The Ukrainian government on Tuesday asked Washington to provide Kyiv with a “lend-lease” program to import natural gas from the US to ensure Ukraine has enough gas for heating this winter, Prime Minister Denis Shmyhal indicated. The idea is for the US to provide gas to Ukraine and collect payment at a later time, similar to the World War II-era lend-lease program that was revived this year to facilitate military aid to Ukraine. Via Reuters “Preparation for the most difficult winter in our history continues, and in this preparation we are looking for all possible tools to be ready for...

Eighteen months ago, Rep. Peter Meijer joined just nine other House Republicans and voted to impeach Donald Trump. This week, he learned that the Democrats he stood with then were spending nearly half a million dollars to help his Trump-backed challenger defeat him. “I assumed it might happen,” Meijer, a 34-year-old freshman Republican from Michigan, said in a Tuesday interview. The “high-minded rhetoric” of his Democratic colleagues, he added, had been “translated into galling hypocrisy” by a party committee running ads to boost John Gibbs, a former Trump administration official who baselessly claimed in an interview that the 45th president’s...

The promotional material is striking: two mirror-encased skyscrapers stretching more than 100 miles across a swathe of desert and mountain terrain, providing a future home for 9 million people. In short, economists, architects and analysts are not quite sure. So extravagant is Saudi Arabia’s plan to create an urban utopia that even those working on the project, known as the Line, do not yet know if its scale and scope can ever be realised. Neom has consistently raised eyebrows due to proposed flourishes such as flying taxis and robot maids, even as architects and economists have questioned its feasibility. The...
