  • Media v. Southern Baptists: Are gays more apt to molest?

    The media is all over the Southern Baptists for sexual sins, particularly child molestation, by its clergy. You’d think the Southern Baptists were especially evil. Yet, the desire to avoid besmirching their organization thrills through all institutions – from Hollywood, to Federal agencies, to universities, and beyond. The Southern Baptists acted like other institutions by hiding sexual dirt. Part of the reason the media is so enraged with Southern Baptists is they exclude LGBTs from fostering, teaching, or caretaking kids: How dare the church enforce the historic belief that homosexuals seek sex with the underage when that belief is dead...

    NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. is setting aside an extra 50,000 doses of monkeypox vaccine for places with upcoming gay pride events, health officials said Thursday. The number of doses sent to each place will be based on factors like the size of the event, how many health workers will be available to give shots, and how many of the attendees are considered at highest risk for catching the virus. “More shots in arms is how we get the outbreak under control,” Bob Fenton, the White House monkeypox response coordinator, told reporters Thursday. He said the effort is an...
  • Makeshift Arizona border wall falls over, Gov. Doug Ducey suspects foul play

    Part of Arizona’s temporary border wall toppled over earlier this week — and state officials believe it was deliberate. Two shipping containers placed along the US-Mexico frontier fell onto their side sometime Sunday evening. Gov. Doug Ducey’s office was made aware of the incident by Border Patrol around midnight and the containers were put back into place at around 6:30 a.m. Monday. Initially, reports indicated that the containers, which measure 60 feet high and 22 feet long, fell over due to high winds. “There still seems to be some unfounded speculation that wind knocked these things over,” Ducey communications director...
  • FBI raid of Trump’s home stems from a wary federal record keeper who alerted Justice Department

    The Aug. 8 search of former President Donald Trump’s home and the unprecedented criminal investigation into his possession of White House documents all began with David Ferriero, the now-retired national archivist who alerted the Justice Department after finding classified information in boxes he retrieved from Mar-a-Lago. Critics say Mr. Ferriero is a partisan who changed the rules to help excuse Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when she was under scrutiny for mishandling classified documents on her private, unsecured email server. They also say the raid for a criminal investigation is just another politically motivated scheme to take down Mr. Trump,...
  • Judge blocks Florida ‘woke’ law pushed by Gov. DeSantis

    ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — A Florida judge on Thursday declared a Florida law championed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis that restricts race-based conversation and analysis in business and education unconstitutional. Tallahassee U.S. District Judge Mark Walker said in a 44-page ruling that the “Stop WOKE” act violates the First Amendment and is impermissibly vague. Walker also refused to issue a stay that would keep the law in effect during any appeal by the state. The law targets what DeSantis has called a “pernicious” ideology exemplified by critical race theory — the idea that racism is systemic in U.S. institutions...
  • Prominent Podcaster Sam Harris Admits a Conspiracy to Prevent Trump Presidency was “Warranted” and “Would Not Have Cared” if Hunter hid Corpses of Children

    Host of the Making Sense podcast and NY Times best-seller Sam Harris was on the latest episode of TRIGGERnometry yesterday when he made a series of disturbing remarks. The left leaning philosopher openly supported the dissemination of disinformation that we were subjected to prior to the 2020 election regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop. Meanwhile, right-leaning mainstream news sources such as New York Post were literally being suspended and banned on social media platforms for disseminating the truth.

    NASSAU, BAHAMAS (Reuters) - The U.S. climate bill signed into law this week restores the country's credibility as a leading player in U.N. climate negotiations, international officials said. Years of failed Congressional action had left climate-focused presidents reliant on executive actions, which can be easily undone by other presidents or by courts. This made other countries wary of U.S. emissions-reduction promises. The new bill "puts America on track to achieve our climate goals and encourage others in the world to increase their efforts," said John Kerry, U.S. special envoy on climate change, on Twitter. U.S. allies welcomed the milestone as...

    In discussing the Hunter Biden investigation with The Federalist, Bill Barr, most recently Donald Trump's attorney general, said:Intervening events, especially recent reports about FBI whistleblowers and the possible reach of the investigation, warrant adding the protections of special counsel status to assure that key decisions are made independently without political favor.Wow! Talk about an inflated sense of his own authority. Barr exerted only minimal influence over the DOJ when he was in charge. Does he really believe they care what he thinks now?Why doesn't he just insist that Hunter, Joe, and the whole Biden clan confess their sins? That's about...

    Fox News host Laura Ingraham recently said Americans might be ready “to turn the page” on President Trump as he decides whether to run for president a third time. Ingraham said the following during an appearance on Lisa Boothe’s podcast."The country I think is so exhausted. They’re exhausted by the battle, the constant battle, that they may believe that, well, maybe it’s time to turn the page if we can get someone who has all Trump’s policies, who’s not Trump.”The mainstream media, which is a mouthpiece for the Democrats, carried this news with glee, claiming that Ingraham was turning on...

    A Florida man allegedly texted someone about buying an eight-ball of cocaine. Except the person on the other end of the phone was a politician, not a buyer. Jack Edward Fisher, 18, was arrested Monday and charged with felony possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute and unlawful use of a two-way communications device, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. It’s unclear who Fisher’s text was meant for, but it instead went to Flagler County Commissioner Joe Mullins, who reported him immediately to the police. Officers then had Mullins keep texting with Fisher and arrange a meeting, where he...

    Concerned that the name "monkeypox" may stigmatize and humiliate its unfortunate victims, the World Health Organization (WHO) is determined to choose a different name for the disease. WHO Director Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus argued that "the current name conveys a demeaning insinuation of improper conduct between man and monkey. Victims of this painful and annoying ailment deserve better." The Doctor suggested that "in my opinion, a more fitting name would be 'homopox.' Ninety-eight percent of the sufferers are men who have sex with other men. I think the disease ought to be named after the victims. This would be a...
