Tuesday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) suggested more resignations along the lines of that of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci were to come as it becomes more apparent Republicans will at least control the House of Representatives after the November midterms. McCarthy said Fauci and others could leave the Biden administration to avoid being called before GOP-led congressional committees demanding accountability.

Sean Hannity is threatening legal action against John Fetterman over fundraising texts the Pennsylvania Senate candidate has been sending. In a scalding monologue on Fox News Tuesday, Hannity accused Fetterman of lying about him in the texts — in which the Senate candidate claimed that Hannity spread lies in during a recent interview with Fetterman’s opponent, Mehmet Oz. “As of now, the Fetterman campaign is refusing to debate Doctor [Mehmet] Oz, also refusing my invitation to appear on the program — as he and his campaign have been lying about me, raising money off of my name, he apparently yet...

"Trust the science," say the media. Polls show that fewer Americans do. There's good reason for that. "They don't trust science because science is increasingly untrustworthy," says science writer Andrew Follet in my new video. "The only group that trusts science right now is Democrats." Sixty-four percent of Democrats have "a great deal" of confidence in the scientific community, compared to 34% of Republicans. Of course, true science -- using the scientific method -- is important. But that's not what much of "science" is these days. Instead, today government science is misused by progressive politicians. Example 1: Environmental activists want...

A box of guns was delivered to a Delaware County high school in what police called an "honest mistake." Police said the delivery to Chester High School was a mistake on the part of FedEx, but parents say it couldn’t come at a worse time – when schools are laser-focused on keeping children safe as they’re getting ready to return to class. Chester Upland School District Superintendent Dr. Craig Parkinson said they were expecting a delivery of textbooks and supplies for the start of the school year, but instead, something else arrived at the loading dock Friday. School district leaders...

Pennsylvania senators Bob Casey and Pat Toomey, along with seven other senators, are urging the U.S. State Department to designate a Pennsylvania teacher sentenced to 14 years in a Russian prison as “wrongfully detained,” according to the Philadelphia Inquirer and KDKA. The classification would reportedly allow the government to undertake active diplomatic efforts to secure the man’s release. Mark Hilliard Fogel, 61, of Oakmont, has been detained in Russia for about a year now, after being arrested at the Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow in August for possession of about 20 grams of medical marijuana. He was sentenced in June to...

Gay and bisexual men have begun to cut their number of sex partners out of fear of catching monkeypox, a CDC report reveals. A survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that 48 percent of men who have sex with other men (MSM) have reduced their number of sexual partners out of fear of the virus. Half also reported reducing their number of one-night-stands, and 49 percent are reducing sex on dating apps - of which one of the most popular among MSM is Grindr - and in other venues. The World Health Organization (WHO)...

Democratic PA senatorial candidate and lieutenant governor John Fetterman called for prosecuting executives of oil and food companies in a Sunday guest column for local media outlet Times Leader. Fetterman blamed executives of large oil and food companies for the high prices that Americans are experiencing at gas stations and grocery stores across the country, stating that he would “crack down” on CEOs to bring down costs, according to the opinion column. The senatorial candidate juxtaposed the record profits of companies like Chevron, Exxon and Tyson, a large food company, with the high prices of gas and basic necessities. In...

The mainstream are heat-chasers. They report only on stories that fit the AGW Party agenda. This cherry-picking leads to a painfully misinformed public when it comes to the climate–which is exactly where they want us. It usually stands, however, that if the MSM goes silent on a particular locale then it’s probably because that particular locale isn’t ‘behaving’ as they would like. Case in point today: we have the Arctic and Greenland refusing to play ball. Earth’s most-northern reaches are actually experiencing persistent and long-lasting COOLING, which is far more telling than a brief burst of heat in, for example,...

America's fentanyl epidemic has gotten so bad that some morgues are running out of room. From 6,000 synthetic opioid deaths in 2015, to a major jump to more than 63,0000 in 2021, fentanyl is the biggest factor.

During a Wednesday interview on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took President Joe Biden to task over the White House’s plan to reenter the Iran nuclear deal. Netanyahu argued that the “dangerous deal” was “even worse than the first one.” He lamented that the deal gives Iran “everything to threaten all of us and gives nothing to us in return.” “I think this is a horrible deal; a dangerous deal that will pave Iran’s path with gold — a golden-paved highway to a nuclear arsenal,” Netanyahu emphasized. “If Iran has nuclear weapons, they don’t merely...

Two teenage girls wanted over a brutal beating that killed a New York City cab driver were arrested on Monday. The girls - aged 13 and 15 - were charged with gang assault and theft of services. Neither was named because of their ages. A third girl, believed to be 16 years old, is still at large. The girls allegedly helped two men, Austin Amos, 20, and Nickolas Porter, 20, beat-up 52-year-old Kutin Gyimah after they jumped out of his cab without paying on August 13. Gyimah, a father-of-four, had chased the group down before they attacked him. Amos and...

Six months after President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the war has upended basic assumptions about Russia’s military and economy. ... Ukraine is half a year into the war and what it will mean as it marks continued independence is as uncertain as the outcome of the conflict. What is clear is that rather than reasserting Moscow as a global military power as Putin had hoped, his decision to invade Ukraine has triggered a deep rethinking of Russia’s conventional capabilities. It also prompted further expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, with hitherto neutral Finland and Sweden deciding to join...

“‘Your faith has made you well’” (Matthew 9:22). In many instances in the gospels, the words translated “healed,” “made well,” or similar variations, are from the Greek word meaning salvation or saved from sin. For instance, when blind Bartimaeus came to Jesus to regain his sight, the Lord told him, “Go; your faith has made you well” (Mark 10:52). That Bartimaeus repeatedly called Jesus “Son of David,” a common messianic title, suggests that his physical healing included spiritual salvation. In the account of the ten lepers, Luke reports that all of them “were cleansed” (Luke 17:14), but this was from...

“Last night, I was swatted just after 1 am. I can’t express enough gratitude to my local law enforcement here in Rome, Floyd County. More details to come,” Taylor Greene wrote on Twitter on Wednesday morning. “Swatting” is commonly defined as “the action of making a false report of a serious emergency so that a SWAT team (= a group of officers trained to deal with dangerous situations) will go to a person’s home, by someone who wants to frighten, upset, or cause problems for that person”. The act usually involves heavily armed police. The act of “swatting” has been...

Hitler youth WW2 documentary Video is over 2 hours long. May want to book mark for later.

VIDEOOoops! It wasn't supposed to be like this or so Magistrate Bruce Reinhart probably thought when he signed off on the Mar-a-Lago search warrant. So instead of it being a low-key affair as the FBI and DOJ most likely assured him, the FBI raid on President Donald Trump's home has turned into a Backfire Hurricane of a political firestorm with poor Reinhart at the very center of it. And now Reinhart is showing some signs of backing off especially since the public spotlight has focused on certain unsavory activities of his in the past. In fact, if Reinhart had access...

Detailed image of the Moon tinged red and gunmetal blue, with craters and on the black backdrop of space. The "ridiculously detailed" image. (Andrew McCarthy/Connor Matherne) Time to upgrade your wallpapers, people. Two astrophotographers have just dropped what they call "the most ridiculously detailed picture" of the Moon – the result of a painstaking, neck-craning effort roughly two years and over 200,000 frames in the making. For millennia, humans have looked up and seen the same silver orb traversing the night sky – but never quite like this. As space photography enthusiast Andrew McCarthy says of his collaboration with planetary...

The Democrats are riding a wave of successes the past few weeks. Gas prices edging downward, passage of the improbably named Inflation Reduction Act, successful meddling in Republican primaries and improving poll numbers have combined to make Biden and his compatriots believe they can win control of the Senate, and optimism is rising about the House. But when you dig through the numbers, Democrats are getting ahead of themselves.
