MAJOR announcement tomorrow morning from @GovRonDeSantis. Prepare for the liberal media meltdown of the year Everyone get some rest tonight 😉 🌚— Christina Pushaw 🐊 🇺🇸 (@ChristinaPushaw) August 3, 2022

I went to bed early, before the returns from Arizona began streaming in, then woke up this morning and began scrolling my Twitter feed in chronological order. My eyes popped when I saw this:Robson by eight?! With three-quarters of the state reporting? Sweet fancy Moses. The polls had Kari Lake winning by double digits! Even the very best recent poll for Robson had her ahead by just one point.

"Too often I see people on the Right says that Democrats themselves or something they just did or said is “stupid” or “dumb” or some other such word that makes the person feel superior but certainly doesn’t cause distress to leftists except for the possible danger of laughing themselves to death. None of what Democrat-communists do or say is by accident. They are the originators of the “five year plan” after all. Just because you can’t see the next move and how all the puzzle pieces fit doesn’t mean it isn’t all intentional. Dems are so ‘stupid’ that they stole...

We are confident that the outstanding votes left to be counted will favor @KariLakeWe know what the outcome is.@KariLake is the @AZGOP nominee for Governor.Why is the #FakeNews media afraid to call the race?Some of them seemed very eager to call Arizona back in 2020.— Kari Lake War Room (@KariLakeWarRoom) August 3, 2022

"The push is on as the EU approved mealworms (whole or powdered) for food there, and are even calling the bug foods “novel” (new) just as they did the coronavirus in late 2019, which doesn’t make it more acceptable. The WEF (AKA Evil ‘R Us) pushes bugs, along with ‘synthetic meat’ and weeds for human consumption. There are even web sites devoted to recipes with titles like “13 Reasons Why You Should Try The Black Soldier Fly In 2020” and “How to make DIY Cricket Flour”. Why the **** would I want to do either? They claim it could “save...

In the first part we saw how your healing has been accomplished in the spiritual and because of what has been done in the spiritual you can receive what has been done in the spiritual, physical healing. We saw that because Jesus took your sins away he also took away your sicknesses and diseases in the spirit realm. Because it first has to be reality in the spirit realm before it can be reality in the physical. That's 1Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, when he bore one the other...

New Delhi: Amid rising tensions with China, India and US will come together for two weeks of high-altitude military exercise in Uttarakhand’s Auli, less than 100 km from the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Central Sector, ThePrint has learnt. The Indo-US joint exercise is known as ‘Yudh Abhyas’ and it will be the 15th edition this year. Sources in the defence and security establishment said the joint exercise is being planned from 14 to 31 October where the two forces will carry out “maneuvers to exploit the full scope” of high-altitude warfare. Sources also said the location (at...

On this date in 1347, the city of Calais yielded to an English siege. Edward III had proceeded to invest Calais directly after the previous year’s staggering win at Crecy. The crippled French leadership could not relieve the city, and after fruitlessly probing for an opening, the relief army marched away at the start of August 1347. By this time reduced to eating vermin and ordure, the starved city had little choice but to capitulate. According to Froissart’s account, the king declared that “the Calesians have done him so much mischief, and have, by their obstinate defence, cost him so...

On The View on Tuesday, Whoopi Goldberg read from a New Yorker article that details how some people live with growing student debt well into their 80s and 90s. The piece she read from details, among others, the story of Betty Ann who faced bullying and abuse as she strove to get a law degree at NYU and whose debt for that course has ballooned as she aged to an insurmountable number. Student loan debt is the only kind of debt that cannot be eradicated by declaring bankruptcy. GOLDBERG: “In 1983, at age 52, Betty-Ann enrolled at NYU's law school,...

Rumors continue to swirl around the demise of one of the few sketch-comedy shows remaining, "Saturday Night Live." With tanking ratings, a dwindling all-star cast and creator Lorne Michaels' contract expiring imminently, the show might not be "live from New York" for much longer. In a recent interview with Charlamagne Tha God, the longest tenured cast member of "SNL," Kenan Thompson, alluded to the end being near. When asked about the rumors the show would be ending, he said, "There could be a lot of validity to that rumor because 50's a good year to stop at." Thompson is referring...

One might get the feeling that America is being out classed by Russia and China. While they rise, America drifts, floundering on a sea of greenness and wokism, effectively bound at the wrists from executing any self-defense. The supposedly “elected” officials, are doing everything they can to run the United States into the ground at the behest of its enemies. Ukraine is nothing but an extended money laundering event, the ties back to politicians not even denied, but open for any investigation, however slight and unmotivated. When the greater share of politicians in any government do not serve the people...

A team of researchers located at Helmholtz Munich reports on a novel function of vitamin K, which is generally known for its importance in blood clotting. The researchers discovered that the fully reduced form of vitamin K acts as an antioxidant efficiently inhibiting ferroptotic cell death. Ferroptosis is a natural form of cell death in which cellular iron plays an important role and which is characterized by the oxidative destruction of cellular membranes. In addition, the team identified FSP1 as the warfarin-insensitive enzyme reducing vitamin K, the identity of which had been postulated but remained unknown for more than half...

Something stinks. Bad. Maricopa County, Arizona, finally released another ballot count shortly after 7 pm on Wednesday and promised more results tomorrow after 7 pm. This is outrageous. The polls closed yesterday at 7 pm, and they’re still counting? We call bullsh*t. They were late. The Gateway Pundit reported that they had not updated the results on their webpage after claiming they would. The election was on Tuesday, but they’re still counting into Thursday. What the hell is going on? Election day revealed major concerns and possible fraud in the election system. Earlier, The Gateway Pundit reported that the County...

A jarring video shows a group of seven men hurling glass bottles at officers from the NYPD during an arrest in the Bronx that became violent and out-of-control. The Sunday night melee broke out around 8:05pm, when officers from the 44th Precinct were informed of a large group gathering at East 168 Street and Sheridan Avenue in the Bronx. Members of the group were observed drinking, playing loud music, blocking the sidewalk, and acting disorderly, an NYPD spokesperson told DailyMail.com on Wednesday. Officers approached an individual who attempted to flee the location but was apprehended armed with a loaded firearm....

A small (57 g) daily portion of Jarlsberg cheese may help to stave off bone thinning (osteopenia/osteoporosis) without boosting harmful low density cholesterol, suggest the results of a small comparative clinical trial. The effects seem to be specific to this type of cheese, the findings indicate. Jarlsberg is a mild and semi-soft, nutty-flavored cheese made from cow's milk. Previous research indicates that it may help boost levels of osteocalcin, a hormone that is associated with strong bones and teeth. Researchers studied women allocated to adding Jarlsberg (41) or Camembert cheese to their diet. Jarlsberg and Camembert have similar fat and...

Yesterday we told you about Mark Levin linking to Media Matters (of all places) to make his point after Rep. Liz Cheney said the “Eastman memos & fake elector scheme” that Levin has defended and allegedly worked on in the past “are indefensible.” What would best settle all these Twitter debates once and for all? A face-to-face discussion. Levin has invited the Wyoming congresswoman who is at risk of losing her seat in the state’s primary election two weeks from yesterday to appear on his show:

Turning down the thermostat seems to make it harder for cancer cells to grow, according to a study in mice. The study found that chilly temperatures activate heat-producing brown fat that consumes the sugars the tumors need to thrive. Similar metabolic mechanisms were found in a cancer patient exposed to a lowered room temperature. Mice acclimatized to temperatures of 4 degrees Celsius had significantly slower tumor growth and lived nearly twice as long compared with mice in rooms of 30 degrees Celsius. To find out why, the researchers analyzed glucose metabolism. Cancer cells typically need large amounts of glucose, or...

State Sen. Scott Wiener is celebrating today — his bill, SB 107, which will erode parents’ rights by allowing minor children to travel to California for trans procedures, puberty blockers, known as “gender-affirming health care.” Should SB 107 pass, non-parent adults could bring minor children to California for experimental and damaging transgender medical interventions, without the knowledge or consent of their parents. The bill would make California a destination state for “transgender” procedures for minors.
