President Joe Biden lashed out at Republicans who have embraced the MAGA philosophy saying they’re semi-fascists. I don’t think Biden understands what MAGA means. It’s all about putting America first and making the US the most powerful nation on Earth, both economically and militarily. Some examples include taking control of our southern border, making America energy independent, and building our military so we can take out ISIS or any other threat. It also means reducing business regulations so companies are free to run their enterprises without government interference. The result is American companies that are more competitive internationally and at...

That’s the warning from Colorado’s top election official. In an interview with The Guardian published Sunday, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold argued that loyalists to former President Donald Trump could destroy American Democracy — should they win office this fall. “What we can expect from the extreme Republicans running across this country is to undermine free and fair elections for the American people, strip Americans of the right to vote, refuse to address security breaches and, unfortunately, be more beholden to Mar-a-Lago than the American people,” Griswold said. Should Democrats not prevail in the upcoming midterms, “the country could...

Former President Donald Trump has insisted that he immediately be re-installed as president or that a new election be called. His reasoning? A Mark Zuckerberg interview in which the Facebook founder reiterated his previous claim that the FBI warned him of a potential dump of Russian misinformation weeks before the 2020 general election that Trump lost to President Joe Biden. Yes, the former president really did demand he be reinstated as president 664 days after losing the election. By any objective measure, it’s nuts. Batshit crazy. Trump first made the bizarre demand on his fledgling social media platform Monday at...

For a couple of days, Drudgereport has headlined with a scowling, petulant Trump, photoshopped into an orange prison jumpsuit.

The surreal scene shows a Kremlin meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Viktor Zolotov, 68, who is director of the Russian National Guard and has lost thousands of his men in the war. A grimacing Vladimir Putin was seen tightly gripping his desk as his most trusted general reported to him that invaded Ukrainians are showing their “support” for occupying Russian soldiers. The surreal scene shows a Kremlin meeting between Russian President Putin and Viktor Zolotov, 68, who is director of the Russian National Guard and has lost thousands of his men in the war. It is not the...

TWENTY-SECOND WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME LUKE 4:31–37 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus teaches in the synagogue at Capernaum. One of the things that he comes to do is to teach, for at the root of our troubles and our suffering is a powerful clouding of the mind. What is it like to be in the same room with Jesus? The people "were astonished at his teaching because he spoke with authority." "Astonished" is a pretty strong word. But we have to understand the tenor of the time. When a Jewish rabbi would speak, he would reference his teacher—another rabbi—who in...

Unlike Christ, the government and universities are not suffering and giving up for the sake of the guilty party. They’re the ones profiting.On the issue of student loan reform, I am an equal opportunity extremist. On the one hand, I think academia is largely a giant con run by communist vultures who prey upon financially illiterate students in order to create worthless administrative jobs. For this crime, we should cancel existing student debts by raiding the endowments of those universities. Then we should ban student loans, defund public universities, and roast marshmallows over the burning contracts of every dean of...

If young adults can make permanent, major changes to their bodies, they can repay the money they borrowed to go to college.On Wednesday, President Joe Biden announced plans to “forgive” $10,000-$20,000 of student loans, circumventing Congress while simultaneously violating the U.S. Constitution and federal law. Not only is this plan illegal, as the president doesn’t have the authority to spend unappropriated money, but it is downright offensive to those of us who paid off our student loans. It is even more offensive that the same people who insist that young people shouldn’t be burdened by their outstanding loan balances tend...

Neena Pacholke, a basketball star at the University of South Florida, was found dead in her home at the age of 27. Pacholke, who was reportedly engaged, was a morning anchor at a local news station in Wausau, Wisconsin, which is an ABC News affiliate.

The Pennsylvania Department of State just changed its voter registration form to include a mail-in ballot application — in the middle of an election cycle. On Aug. 19, the Department of State combined the originally separate applications — voter registration and mail-in ballot — into one new form just 11 weeks before the general election. While election officials say the change was made to simplify the process, county election officials are concerned the new form will create chaos and undermine voter confidence. “We believe this proposed form is likely to stoke new and undue confusion, concern and skepticism among voters...

NBC is considering reducing the number of hours it programs in prime time, people familiar with the matter said, a cost-cutting move that would reflect broadcast television’s diminishing popularity. Under the scenario being discussed, NBC would stop programming the 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. hour and give those seven hours per week to local TV stations to program, the people said. The talks are preliminary and it is possible that NBC will decide to continue to program the 10 p.m. hour, one of the people said. NBC hasn’t officially discussed the matter with its affiliate board, a group that represents...

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s admission reveals a deeper scandal: It was the FBI and not social media that stole the election from Donald Trump. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s admission last week that the FBI pushed the social media giant to censor Russian misinformation — and thus the Hunter Biden laptop story, as that’s how the agency and Democrats characterized it — shortly before the November 2020 election is but a breadcrumb of a bigger scandal: the widespread interference by the FBI in the 2020 presidential election with the potential that the bureau coordinated its efforts with the Biden campaign. When...

Pennsylvania’s Democratic U.S. Senate nominee John Fetterman wants to legalize cannabis nationally and is urging President Joe Biden to deschedule the drug, removing it from the list of federally controlled substances. In a press release shared by his communications director John Calvello on Monday, Fetterman, who is Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, called for the decriminalization of marijuana and for Biden to declassify it as a Schedule I drug:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday said he has “great confidence” in Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz, despite several polls showing the television doctor trailing Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) in the Keystone State. Asked in Kentucky about Oz’s chances to win the Senate seat, McConnell said he thinks the GOP nominee — who has been painted as an out-of-touch elite from New Jersey by Fetterman’s campaign — has “a great shot at winning.” “I have great confidence. I think Oz has a great shot at winning,” McConnell told reporters. The comments came after the Senate leader...

…..as far as NIAID was concerned, there was no meaningful administrative distinction between biodefence and scientific research. With the stroke of Cheney’s pen, all United States biodefence efforts, classified or unclassified, were placed under the aegis of Anthony Fauci. So important was this new command structure that a representative from the office of Scooter Libby, Cheney’s powerful chief of staff, was physically placed in NIAID headquarters in Washington during the transition to function as “a kind of political commissar” from the vice president’s office. This gave Fauci unparalleled access to not just Cheney, but President Bush, to whom he had...

"In the past 24 hours, in their effective operations the Russian forces eliminated 48 tanks, 46 infantry fighting vehicles, 37 other combat armored vehicles, 8 pickup vehicles with large-caliber machine-guns and over 1,200 Ukrainian servicemen," Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov reported

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum and White House economic adviser Jared Bernstein clashed over the administration’s handling of debt surrounding student loan forgiveness. MacCallum asked the question of who is paying for the $20,000 in student loan forgiveness provided to Pell Grant recipients and $10,000 for borrowers making under $125,000 a year. Bernstein disputed a University of Pennsylvania Wharton model that she cited, which predicted that student loan forgiveness will cost over $1 trillion, claiming the cost will be closer to $24 billion. MacCallum imagined a scenario where she had $15,000 in credit card debt and she is handed $5,000,...
