Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said a man was driving north on I-45 near FM 1960 with his 2-year-old son in the car on Tuesday afternoon when they were involved in a road rage incident with a couple in a truck. When the man exited the highway, he noticed he was being followed by the truck, according to KSAT’s sister station KPRC. Both vehicles stopped near Parramatta Lane where the driver of the truck, a Navy veteran identified as...

I don't think I ever imagined this country would or could come to this. Never would I have believed the determination of the left to kill babies. Never would I have believed the determination of the left to eliminate all pregnancies. Never did I ever think pregnancy would become a disease that needed to be eradicated. But it's here. As with most of the bizarre issues rendering the country today, it began in the obama era. Back in his pre-Presidential days, he lied about his vote for the Born Alive Infants Protection Act in 2003. At issue is an Illinois...

Lower inflation and greener energy are worth the price of a short downturn. Inflation has caused consumer confidence to plunge, but when asked about their personal finances rather than the whole economy, people are much cheerier. America’s disappointing gdp figures do not tally with other measures of output or employers’ growing payrolls. Manufacturing surveys register their weakest results since the early days of the pandemic, but that may be because consumers are still rebalancing their spending after the worst phase of the pandemic (there is less buying of home-gym equipment, but more queuing in airports). Even China’s slowdown could help...

Consistent with past events and to protect the Democrats, expect companies such as Twitter, Facebook, and Alphabet to restrict posts, censor the word recession, and issue bans and time outs for using the word.

Environment, Social and Governance, better known as “ESG” is a metric that measures whether a nation or corporation can demonstrate the maximum amount of corporate virtue signaling. The most striking example is Sri Lanka, the former government of which massively increased its ESG by mandating only organic fertilizer in the small nation, leading to massive inflation, famine, and the violent overthrow of its government. ESG is bad business and, as Sri Lanka demonstrates, dangerous to human well-being. Now, though, Governor Ron DeSantis has announced that Florida is leading the way to stand against this utterly toxic metric. For just one...

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday enacted its second consecutive 0.75 percentage point interest rate increase as it seeks to tamp down runaway inflation without creating a recession.In taking the benchmark overnight borrowing rate up to a range of 2.25%-2.5%, the moves in June and July represent the most stringent consecutive action since the Fed began using the overnight funds rate as the principal tool of monetary policy in the early 1990s.

. GOP funded Senator Murkowski speaks with David Hogg - he tells her he doesn’t want to do anything crazy like the NRA and she agrees, she says Congress owes him some steps (forward) on the issue.

A PROCLAMATION. In pursuance of the sixth section of the Act of Congress entitled "An Act to suppress insurrection, to punish treason and rebellion, to seize and confiscate the property of rebels, and for other purposes," approved July 17, 1862, and which Act, and the joint resolution explanatory thereof, are herewith published, I, ABRABAM LINCOLN, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim to and warn all persons within the contemplation of said sixth section to cease participating in, aiding, countenancing, or abetting the existing rebellion, or any rebellion, against the Government of the United States, and to return to...

They are if you use their metrics but, unfortunately for them, their metrics don’t stand up to real-world scrutiny. Defeating Wokeism isn’t merely a political, legal, or even cultural battle. We must also address what ultimately fuels Wokeness on a personal level: a delusional sense of moral superiority because it’s that moral superiority that is the vehicle for the left’s real power grab. Are the Woke, in fact, morally superior? If you ask them, they certainly are. Their thinking seems to run something like this: The world consists of people with different skin colors, genders, sexual orientations, etc. We are...

VIDEOSince we are now OFFICIALLY (although some in the liberal media won't admit it) in a recession the last thing needed is a tax increase. Yet a series of tax increases is what is in Joe Manchin's revived Build Back Broke bill as admitted by Morning Joe acting host Willie Geist and his guest Jake Sherman, the co-founder of Punchbowl News.

The backlash has begun. Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have struck a deal to resurrect parts of Biden’s Build Back boondoggle under the new bill the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.” “I now propose and will vote for the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Rather than risking more inflation with trillions in new spending, this bill will cut the inflation taxes Americans are paying, lower the cost of health insurance and prescription drugs, and ensure our country invests in the energy security and climate change solutions,” Manchin said. “President Biden, Leader Schumer and Speaker Pelosi have committed...

From CNN, July 25, 2022 [cnn.com/2022/07/25/opinions/jews-racism-january-6-committee-wolfson/index.html]: Editor's Note: Nathan Wolfson is the deputy digital director and social media manager at J Street, a pro-Israel, nonprofit advocacy group. Fact: There is some kind of a 'competition' between: 'J Street;' 'Haaretz;' 'B'tselem;' mondoweiss/972mag/mekomit; George Soros - 'NIF' (New Israel Fund) ; Arab group 'Adalah' et al, as to who is more anti Israel. Many using the "human rights" label as a game. BTW, the failure of contsing racist Arab-Islamic violence before and during 2021 Operation 'Guardian of the Walls,' is linked to NIF as police got "training" from twisted group. 27/07/2022: MK...

It happens to be the best way to take down an enemy society. What is a nation? That is the question. In the book of Genesis — whether you take it literally or metaphorically — a nation is essentially an extended family. Genesis Chapter Ten, often referred to as the Table of Nations, lists the peoples of the Earth, from Israel's perspective, along with their lineages. The number, apart from Israel, came to 70. Each particular nation was traceable back to an ancestor. Mankind was told to fill up the whole Earth, but disobeyed, and started to build the Tower...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy shrank from April through June for a second straight quarter, contracting at a 0.9% annual pace and raising fears that the nation may be approaching a recession. The decline that the Commerce Department reported Thursday in the gross domestic product — the broadest gauge of the economy — followed a 1.6% annual drop from January through March. Consecutive quarters of falling GDP constitute one informal, though not definitive, indicator of a recession. Even with the economy recording a second straight quarter of negative GDP, many economists do not regard it as constituting a recession.
