See this waist gunner in a B-17, flying at 28,000 feet? It’s -42 degrees below zero heading for -60 below and his fingers will start to freeze in one minute if unprotected! And if his M2 .50 jams, or needs to have a new ammo belt, to continue to protect his segment of the bomber’s defensive “box”, he WILL have to take off those gloves, and he WILL lose the tips of his fingers, guaranteed. And if this young man, aprox. 20 years old, ever gets back home to Yourtown, USA…he won't have the tips of his fingers and all...

81 years after the Mufti of Jerusalem visited Hitler and asked him to kill all the Jews, Mahmoud Abbas, his current successor as leader of the “Palestinian” cause, arrived in Berlin. At a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Abbas refused to apologize for his Munich Massacre of Jews and falsely claimed that Israel had carried out "50 holocausts" against the Arab Muslim settlers occupying Israel. Scholz, Merkel's successor, said nothing at the joint press conference, but later tepidly condemned the remarks. “I am disgusted by the outrageous remarks made by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas,” he tweeted. Why should...

Outgoing National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that people on the right who were distorting reality to believe that the January 6 Capitol riot didn’t happen were also creating an environment where proper public health responses to pandemics are being impeded. Maddow said, “There have been a lot of theories and conspiracy theories and accusations and more or less wild claims about the origins of COVID in particular. It seems like that’s when people on the political right really started getting their claws into you and targeting...

In Congress, where legislation is drafted, debated and enacted, clear and concise definitions are of paramount importance. As military aircrews increasingly encounter unidentified flying objects (UFOs), lawmakers recently made several striking revisions to the definition of “UFO.” Key among them: The explosive implication that some UFOs have non-human origins. As first reported by researcher Douglas Johnson, a draft bill approved unanimously by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence rebrands UFOs as “unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena.” Expanding the definition to include objects in space and under the oceans significantly broadens the scope of a muscular new office tasked by Congress with investigating...

He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD. Then the LORD sent...

Welcome to Vacationland Wondering where this column was last week? Sorry. I forgot to say I’m taking two days off. My computer’s exhausted. I went to Maine. Why? I’m a world traveler. Done Cambodia, Indonesia, most of South America, Fiji, Kabul, Kathmandu, Beirut, Siberia, India, Outback, Galapagos, Iran, Iraq, Laos, the whole Caribbean, all Europe, Fiji, Samoa, New Guinea, China, Japan, Taipei, Alaska, Hawaii, Himalayas, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Guam, etc — but Maine? Not. I’ve also not seen Oklahoma — but who cares? Longtime friends whose ancestors founded the state of Maine in the 1800s and are in its museums...

Shortly after revealing its Alpha5 electric sports car, the revamped DeLorean Motor Company offered the first look at its 2024 “Alpha5 Plasmatail” and 2040 “Omega” concept vehicles at Monterey Car Week. The Alpha5 Plasmatail is the most road-ready of the two, appearing in wagon form with the addition of a stylized rear hatch while maintaining the Alpha5’s original two-gullwing-door configuration. Alternatively, the DeLorean Omega delivers a vision of the distant future as a Baja-themed off-road racer. While maintaining the sharp aerodynamic lines and thin LED headlights from the Alpha5, specs for the Plasmatail include an estimated zero to 60 mph...

The unprecedented raid at Mar-a-Lago earlier this month has energized the Democratic Party’s embrace of authoritarianism. The real outrage, they say, is not that the raid happened but that people are disturbed by it. The messaging from top Democrats, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and FBI Director Christopher Wray is of a piece: Republican lawmakers risk inciting violence by questioning the raid and the bureaucrats who orchestrated it. Won’t someone please think of the unaccountable shadow government? Unlike Garland and Wray, Trump and his Republican allies were elected by the people. It is a peculiar democracy indeed in which agents of...

NASA has shared a new image taken by its James Webb Space Telescope. Earlier this month, the space agency published photos of Cartwheel Galaxy. The galaxy is located in the Sculptor constellation approximately 500 million light-years from Earth. Now, NASA is using the telescope to get a closer look at the planet of Jupiter and its surrounding moons. As the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter is considered the third brightest object in the night sky from Earth, following the Moon and Venus. The new photograph was composed using two filters on the Webb’s NIRCam instrument, an imager that...

He's No Tom Cruise when it comes to acting, but Florida Gov. Ron "Top Gov" DeSantis does play the part well of a badass, no-nonsense governor who has broken the mold of how governors should treat legacy media elites. Sporting an aviator bomber jacket, and then a flight suit, Gov. DeSantis along with his trusty wingman Mason "Goose" DeSantis, have rolled out their "Top Gov" political ad this week, and as you can imagine, Florida Democrats are losing their sh*t. "Ron DeSantis is dressing up in a cosplay outfit and filming a fake movie trailer while a 16-year-old Florida girl...

CHICAGO — Nine people were shot within a three hour span in Chicago — two of them were killed. The first fatal shooting happened just before 9:30 p.m. on Monday on the 2500 block of South Karlov Avenue in Little Village. Three men fired 23 shots into a car where a 33-year-old man was sitting in the rear passenger seat. The man was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene.

The head of the FBI’s field office in Washington, D.C., has a lot of explaining to do. A few days after the Capitol protest on January 6, 2021, a tough-talking FBI chief with a Boston accent promised the American people that the bureau would spare no resource in hunting down everyone and anyone involved in the four-hour disturbance that day. Steven M. D’Antuono, the newly appointed head of the Washington, D.C. FBI field office, gave the public a stern warning. “The FBI will leave no stone unturned. This is a 24/7, full bore, extensive operation,” D’Antuono explained during a January...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemExodus 9The Plague of Boils 8 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from a furnace and have Moses toss it into the air in the presence of Pharaoh. 9 It will become fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on people and animals throughout the land.” 10 So they took soot from a furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on people and animals. 11 The magicians could not stand before Moses because...

Questioning leftist propaganda is now a cardinal sin. Leftism is a discipline of doublethink, and nowhere is that more apparent than its approach towards morality. Moral relativism is the name of the game, until the ethic in question imperils the fragile architecture of the left’s inconsistent and collective mind. For many of the academicians at the American Historical Association, intellectual honesty and discourse makes you the chief among sinners. Six days ago, James H. Sweet, president of the AHA, published a written piece in the association’s editorial titled, “Is History History?” — and the ensuing fallout was described by one...

Yesterday was a grand day for the Irish residents of this City, a grander one for MICHAEL CORCORAN, and one pregnant with trouble for the gentlemen of the C. S. A. Association. It would be worse than idle, it would be presumptuous, for us to attempt a description of the appearance of the City, the enthusiasm of the people, and the whole-heartedness of the welcome extended to the City's guest, for the benefit of those who were here; and as for those who were not here, we can say to them simply, that on no previous occasion has the City...

The Second World War’s deadliest battle – and one of the most brutal of all time – started on August 23, 1942, when Adolf Hitler’s forces went all out to seize the city bearing Joseph Stalin’s name. If ever a battle was like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, it was Stalingrad. But when the USSR finally prevailed amid inhuman circumstances, it unleashed their inexorable momentum towards the moment three years later when troops raised the Soviet flag over the Reichstag as a devastated Berlin smouldered. The most vivid chronicler of Stalingrad was the Soviet novelist and journalist Vasily...

Ilya Ponomarev, a former member of the State Duma of the Russian Federation (the Russian parliament), said that the so-called National Republican Army (NRA) has claimed responsibility for the murder of Darya Dugina, the daughter of "Putin’s ideologue" Aleksandr Dugin. Source: Ponomarev on air on Utro Fevralya (February Morning), his opposition TV channel, and in a commentary for Ukrainska Pravda Details: Ponomarev said that Darya Dugina had called for the murder of Ukrainians and was one of the voices inciting violence and calling for murders in the occupied territories [of Ukraine].
