The Republican nominee for Senate in Colorado said on “The Ross Kaminsky Show” on Friday that he hopes neither President Biden nor former President Trump runs for president in 2024. “As far as Trump’s concerned, I hope he doesn’t run,” Joe O’Dea said on the radio program. “I don’t want to see him as president.” O’Dea continued: “I think a lot of people are ready to move our country forward. So I wouldn’t support him running again.” The construction company executive sharply criticized Biden as well, calling him “the worst president we’ve ever had.”

A couple of hundred years ago, Paul Revere took a famous ride, informing his fellow countrymen that the British were coming. I find it ironic that his cries of warning about an impending attack from a foreign entity so closely mimic what our very own government is doing to day to promote one.This week, the federal government declared a state of emergency over the monkeypox. For those of you wondering about whether you should be alarmed, here is what the CDC says about monkeypox:Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus. Monkeypox virus is part of...

“Do Not Be Anxious about Your Life” (Luke 12:22-34) In the Holy Gospel for today, Jesus says, “Do not be anxious about your life.” Really, Jesus? Are you kidding me? “Do not be anxious”?? How can you say that? I mean, look at my life. There’s so much to be anxious about! Take my personal finances, for instance. Since January 1, year-to-date, in just seven months my individual retirement accounts are down almost $9,000. And this, for an individual approaching retirement! In these past seven months, I’ve had to buy a new phone and a new used car. During this...

An impact origin for the Des Plaines structure was first proposed in Emrich and Bergstrom (1962). The publication contains a general map of the structure, contextual maps of the region, a cross section, rough boughuer gravity map, and discussion of the available observations in terms of the emergent science of impact craters. It renames the structure as a cryptoexplosion rather than cryptovolcanic structure. The paper also records a central uplift displacement of about 600 to 900 vertical feet, a diameter of about 5 1/2 miles, and other general morphometrics. An additional brief description of the structure and a more detailed...

When President Donald Trump takes the stage at a major conservative conference in Dallas on Saturday he will likely have just received a boost to his 2024 plans in the form of a straw poll that will almost certainly rank him as the clear favorite among attendees. But that is not the end of the story as far as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose star has been on the rise this year. Attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference want him first to continue the work he is doing in Florida before taking up the national MAGA torch in the...

VIDEOJustin Trudeau does not only looks like Dad but as the increasingly authoritarian Prime Minister of Canada he is acting more like dad. His recent acts in controlling the lives of his citizens to the extent of even confiscating their property and shutting down their bank accounts is him lovingly following in Dad's footsteps.POPPA! I'M YOUR LITTLE SONNY BOY!!!

Congress undoubtedly has a lot of options to consider when it comes expanding the usage of renewable energy. The challenges facing lawmakers involve a variety of sizable risks and pitfalls, in what amounts to a complex chess game. But in order to properly succeed in this game, Congress and the Administration should never consider sacrificing key government agencies as pawns. Unfortunately, it appears that the United States Postal Service (USPS) is at risk of being “captured” in the proverbial chess game that is Washington politics. In what would amount to a serious strategic error, some Capitol Hill leaders are now...

In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, UCLA Geffen School of Medicine Doctor Joseph Lapado and Yale School of Public Health Doctor Harvey Risch are sounding the alarm that there may be serious underestimated risks involved with the side effects of the Wuhan Coronavirus vaccine. This comes as an independent pollster found that a significant number of Americans regret receiving the vaccine in the first place. 10 percent of those vaccinated said they wish they hadn’t done so, while 15 percent of adults said they have been diagnosed with a new condition by a medical practitioner weeks or months...

In a radio interview this week, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the world's most renowned covid expert, warned that "anyone who is not fully vaccinated by the Fall is going to get into trouble." Right now 80% of Americans have received at least one dose of a covid vaccine. Two-thirds have received the two-dose mRNA vaccine. Fifty percent have had at least one booster dose. According to the Doctor, "this is not enough protection." There seems to be plenty of evidence for the diminished effectiveness of the vaccines against the spread of the of the virus and the diminished severity of the...

Prevents the vaccinated from seeing the light as it is just too painful 1. Multiple papers now suggest that COVID mRNA vaccines impair not just immunity to COVID, but immunity and immune surveillance overall. The implication is that the vaxxed are more susceptible to a variety of infections, and perhaps also to cancer. Immune surveillance is what identifies cancer cells and kills them before they can proliferate. So, you are vaccinated. The implications of this information are too frightening to be allowed into consciousness. You don't need the external censors to suppress this knowledge; you do it automatically with your...

My father once served as the chaplain for the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. (U.S. Navy chaplains also serve the Marines and the Coast Guard). I have fond memories of that beautiful seaside city. In any event, perhaps the only bit of Coast Guard culture that I absorbed during my dad’s tour of duty was the motto: Semper Paratus, “Always Prepared,” which seems an appropriate summation of the theme of this Sunday’s Readings, which stress vigilance in the Christian life. In fact, these Readings feel like something we might get in November, closer to Christ the King,...

Senator Kristen Sinema (D-AZ) pretended to be upset at the tax increases in the Democratic reconciliation bill and feigned independence. But she was conning us all along. She was really holding out to fulfill a corrupt bargain with her richest supporters and major campaign donors. At the expense of the average taxpayer, she held back her approval of the Democratic reconciliation package so her rich supporters could skate by paying minimal taxes. Her conduct was so odious that it makes even the Washington swamp look bad. Her goal was to preserve the carried interest treatment of income earned by managers...

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana on Friday became the first state in the nation to approve abortion restrictions since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, as the Republican governor quickly signed a near-total ban on the procedure shortly after lawmakers approved it.The ban, which takes effect Sept. 15, includes some exceptions. Abortions would be permitted in cases of rape and incest, before 10-weeks post-fertilization; to protect the life and physical health of the mother; and if a fetus is diagnosed with a lethal anomaly. Victims of rape and incest would not be required to sign a notarized affidavit attesting...

Humanity didn’t get any good views of the surface of Ceres until 2015, when NASA’s Dawn mission snapped the first (relatively) close-by images of the dwarf planet. With these, came the revelation that Ceres’ surface is surprisingly diverse in terms of structures and composition. In turn, this pointed to unexpected levels of geological activity brewing unseen below the crust. Ceres, as its classification of a dwarf planet suggests, is very small. So small... that researchers were absolutely convinced that it had cooled down completely all the way to its core and that it was, geologically speaking, a dead world. What...

In mice, inflammation in early to mid-life leads to a permanent decline in functional blood stem cells. The ability of the blood stem cells to regenerate was suppressed for at least one year after challenge with inflammation, suggesting that infection and inflammation may act as a prominent driver of age-associated functional decline in tissues. Blood stem cells in the bone marrow provide a lifelong replenishment of the different cell types making up the blood system. In addition, they are also of capable of making new stem cells. In older people, diseases of the hematopoietic system often occur, such as anemia...

I have covered war, espionage and intrigue for major news organizations in the United States and around the world, including the New York Times, Newsweek, Time magazine, Reader’s Digest, CBS 60 Minutes, ABC News, Le Monde, L’Express, Le Point, and many others. That was when these organizations still tried to be “mainstream” and did not pull punches, self-censor and lie to protect their political allies. Only when I was fired by Time in 1994 for investigating a story that threatened President Bill Clinton and many senior officials in his administration did I begin to understand that the mainstream media was...

When she appeared in a German court last month, Irmgard Furchner sat in a wheelchair clutching her handbag. Her mask and kerchief made it difficult to see the face of the 97-year-old — who has been charged with more than 11,000 counts of “aiding and abetting” murder during the Holocaust. The nursing-home resident was a secretary in the commandant’s office of the Stutthof concentration camp near Danzig, and is now among the latest former Nazis to be prosecuted in Germany. The defendants are in their late 90s or even centenarians, but German prosecutors and a Nazi hunter are determined that...

The Biden regime is set to prolong the Covid-19 public health emergency once again as reported by POLITICO. According to three sources familiar with the situation, the government measures enhancing access to health coverage, vaccines, and treatments will be extended by the Biden regime beyond the midterm elections. With the proposed extension, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) would keep the mandate in effect until the November midterm elections and possibly into early 2023.

Jump the counter and all bets are off......

How young is too young to learn about gender identity and expression? Second grade? First grade? Not for the Wauwatosa School District which is proposing such lessons for kindergarten students in the upcoming school year. The district sent a letter to parents and guardians this week informing them of proposed changes to its Human Growth and Development curriculum that include classes on gender identity, sexual orientation, and other sex-themed topics from kindergarten straight through to high school. The series of five lessons for kindergarteners, who are typically five or six years old, starts innocuously enough with a discussion of students’...
