USS Jimmy Carter, A History – There are currently nine aircraft carriers named for former presidents of the United States, while a tenth is now under construction. However, President Jimmy Carter isn’t included in the list of former commanders-in-chief to be so honored – rather Carter has the distinction of being recognized for his service as a United States Navy submariner with a Seawolf-class nuclear-powered, fast attack submarine (SSN) named for him. Carter was the only submarine-qualified sailor to go on to become the nation’s chief executive. He was the nuclear engineer officer on the Pre-Commissioning Unit Seawolf (SSN 575)...

Biden’s handout to the affluent Share Topics POLITICS USA Not much more than a third of Americans complete a college degree, and under 20 per cent are in jobs that require a college degree. In recent years, the differences between this minority and the rest of America have become increasingly stark. Not only is this top 20 per cent more affluent – the sharpest cultural divides in the country are also between the college-educated and others. Politically, college graduates have become the base of the Democrats, while workers without degrees have shifted to the Republicans.

ONTARIO — An intruder who was shot during a home invasion on Saturday is expected to survive, although he was transported to a local hospital for emergent care following the incident. If he is released from the hospital, Terry Lee Martz, 67, will be taken into custody by law enforcement. However, it will be Idaho law enforcement, as Martz has active felony warrants out of Idaho. Idaho Department of Corrections had Martz listed on its most wanted list since October of 2020. He was listed as a fugitive with a parole violation for kidnapping/rape/sexual abuse of a minor. According to...

J O N A H CHAPTERS 3&4 Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.” Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Nineveh.

Every day it gets harder to keep up with the accelerating lawlessness of the Biden Administration. The basic strategy is, just do whatever the left wants, using all the vast powers and resources of the federal government, and dare anyone to try to stop you. To mention just a few recent examples, one day it’s a multi-trillion-dollar transformation of the energy economy without Congressional authorization (perhaps slowed down by the Supreme Court’s decision in West Virginia v. EPA); the next day it’s holding meetings to pressure tech giants like Twitter and Facebook to censor the speech of political opponents; next...

@RepThomasMassie I’m thankful for his principled stand against Biden’s unscientific and immoral mandate. It’s not just about one man who refuses to submit to medical tyranny in order to play tennis. There are thousands of families and friends still separated because of Biden’s vaccine policy. RE: @sophielouisecc Djokovic can’t compete in the US open, he could have very easily just got the jab and made his $ - but decided principles and bodily autonomy are more important than money and trophies and that’s why he will always be a champion in my eyes

Nasa With the recent release of fascinating images coming out of the James Webb Telescope, there’s been a renewed public interest in deep space. In a new post, NASA Exoplanet, the branch responsible for searching for potential life-bearing worlds beyond our solar system, released the “actual sound” of a black hole. “The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel,” NASA Exoplanets writes in the tweet. “A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we’ve picked up actual sound. Here it’s amplified, and mixed with...

He's come under intense scrutiny nationally and Stigall has spent a lot of time frustrated by the coverage and messaging in the PA Senate race. Today you'll hear a focused, substantive discussion from Dr. Oz and what he says are media manipulations to dispirit and divide Republican support. Julie Kelly from American Greatness continues to unpack the truth behind the Gov. Whitmer kidnapping plot and discusses the dangers of a weaponized DOJ against fellow Americans. Plus Stigall slices and dices Biden's new bribe to pay off $10K of rich people's student loan debts.

The state of Texas announced new restrictions on at least 10 finance firms that have declared an opposition to oil and other fossil fuels, since such a stance could “undermine” the Texas economy that depends heavily on such fuel sources. The Daily Caller reports that the restrictions, announced by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Glenn Hegar, will prevent the companies in question from entering into most contracts with entities at the state or local level. The new policy is the result of a law passed in 2021 that requires the state government to limit its ties with anti-oil companies....

The Mar-a-Lago search warrant is interesting not only because of the high office of the individual whose papers were seized but also because of the low office of the person who signed it. The warrant illustrates the long-standing constitutional anomaly of letting magistrate judges sign search warrants. Leave aside how you feel about the former president. Leave aside what you think of January 6, 2021. Leave aside whether there was a good reason to issue the warrant. A more basic question is whether the Hon. Bruce Reinhart could constitutionally issue it. Under the Constitution, a Search Warrant Must Be Signed...

Joe Biden and congressional Democrats are plowing new and dangerous ground. Meanwhile, the GOP is silent. When Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) looks around his adopted hometown of Washington, D.C.—a city shamelessly and aggressively using every lever of federal power to destroy Donald Trump and the 76 million Americans who dared to vote for him in 2020—he sees only one menace to the well-being of the nation: January 6 protesters. “I do think it’s an important issue,” McConnell said in response to a reporter’s question about a recent poll that ranked “threats to democracy” as the top concern among...

President Joe Biden's plan to cancel up to $40,000 of student loan debt for households earning $249,000 a year is "reckless" and "indefensible," former Obama adviser Jason Furman said Wednesday. Furman, a Harvard professor who served as deputy director of the U.S. National Economic Council, denounced the administration's proposal in a lengthy Twitter thread. "Pouring roughly half trillion dollars of gasoline on the inflationary fire that is already burning is reckless," he wrote. "Doing it while going well beyond one campaign promise ($10K of student loan relief) and breaking another (all proposals paid for) is even worse." In response to...

Under pressure from federal officials and mainstream media to apply a rigid lens to ever-evolving scientific research, Big Tech companies are flailing in their efforts to treat contested claims consistently. Twitter blamed an overactive spam filter for wrongly suspending a U.K. doctor who started a project to audit the country's COVID-19 deaths and was previously censored by YouTube for explaining the results of Pfizer's COVID vaccine trial for young children in layman's terms. The explanation suggests that even as Twitter implements election misinformation rules ahead of the fall midterms, it may be wary of continuing to aggressively police "misleading" COVID...

Babylon Bee logo New Study Shows An Alarming Link Between Being A Conspiracy Theorist And Not Having Myocarditis HEALTH · Aug 22, 2022 · BabylonBee.com Article Image WASHINGTON, D.C. — CDC Director Rochelle Walensky spoke at a press briefing Monday in which she acknowledged an apparent link between those who believe in high-level government shadow conspiracies and not having myocarditis. According to the CDC's findings, "total nutjobs" appear to be immune to the little-known heart condition, leaving experts puzzled. "When the pandemic first hit we knew absolutely everything about the virus and immediately imposed common sense health guidelines that were...

The District of Columbia does not appear to have a contingency plan for unvaccinated students, who are banned from attending schools in person this fall after the first 20 days, according to comments made by Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser Thursday. During a press conference, Bowser, a Democrat, admitted there are no alternative options, including virtual learning, for students who cannot attend school due to the District’s vaccine mandate, meaning unvaccinated children will effectively be left without an education.

Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Georgia home was “swatted” for the second time in as many days early Thursday after a person allegedly made fake suicide threats, authorities said. Officers responded to Greene’s home just before 3 a.m. after a local 911 call center received a report from someone supposedly threatening to kill his family and himself, according to a police report. The person, who allegedly identified himself as “Wayne Greene,” claimed to have recently come out as transgender, the police report said — an apparent reference to Rep. Greene’s views on trans rights.

Political beliefs warrant varying degrees in the applications of “justice.” In 2019, after years of Mueller and his team of partisan hacks searching for a crime, the Justice Department decided not to charge Trump. However, that did not put to bed the false narrative that Trump skirted justice and committed criminal acts — in fact it fueled the rumors. The American Constitution society released a “Key Findings” report, which said: The Special Counsel investigation uncovered extensive criminal activity[.] And The Mueller report details multiple episodes in which there is evidence that the President obstructed justice. And A statement signed by...

I created a form to ask healthcare workers to speak anonymously about what they are seeing.Here’s what they said in their own words.Here is a quick summary of some of the things they said: They are afraid to come out publicly due to intimidation tactics such as loss of job and/or license to practice medicine. Unvaccinated healthcare workers are extremely upset with the medical community. They feel they have been treated unfairly. It is the vaccinated workers who are getting sick with COVID, but it is the unvaccinated who are punished with constant testing, restrictions, and threats of losing their...

Traditional Europe going the way of the dodo bird thanks to leftism. In 2006, notable Canadian conservative, Mark Steyn, authored a book titled America Alone. He argued that the values and cultures of the Western world were being erased by population booms among third-world Muslim demographics — aptly named Islamic imperialism. From the back cover of the book: Someday soon, you might wake up to the call to prayer from a muezzin. Europeans already are. And liberals will still tell you that ‘diversity is our strength’ – while Talibanic enforcers cruise Greenwich Village burning books and barber shops, the Supreme...
