Shame on Biden's White House nutball freak bureaucrats, shame on them, shame on if it were Trump's, why would you seek to damage someone like Wolf, others, myself etc. who are just trying to help?

The Pentagon has halted deliveries of the highly advanced F-35 Lighting II stealth fighter jet after discovering that a small part of the aircraft was made in China. An alloy magnet used in the engines of the F-35 fighter jet was sourced in China and has triggered a significant stand-down. Pause the Deliveries The F-35 program office has paused deliveries to the U.S. military and international participants in order to determine any potential implications to the operations and security of the stealth fighter jet.

As midterm spending intensifies, Republicans should prepare to talk about Democrats’ green agenda as another front in the elite culture war on America’s middle class. Amid the GOP’s struggle to bridge pre-Trump establishment politics with post-Trump populism, Democrats’ class warfare makes that task much easier. Establishment Republicans who cut ads and cash checks are inclined to talk about dollars and cents, assuming it’s enough to motivate voters in a bad economy. They see this approach as one that is mutually exclusive with the culture war, allowing them to avoid the issues that make cocktail parties uncomfortable while also amassing power...

It is becoming increasingly obvious something is amiss. One might be tempted to recall the words of a nineteenth-century revolutionary: “A specter is haunting Europe—the specter of Communism.” But the bloody history of the last century has demonstrated beyond question that Marx was no prophet. However, a specter is, indeed, haunting not just Europe but the entire world, and ground zero for this strange new spirit is the United States, a land where communism never gained a foothold. This rising spirit has no widely recognized name at present, but it has certain definitive characteristics that coalesce into a singular, grotesque...

Ukraine pressed an offensive in the east of the country on Friday, seeking to cut off Russian forces as Kyiv achieved its biggest breakthrough in months of grinding combat. Over the past three days, Ukrainian forces have advanced almost 50 kilometers, or about 31 miles, in the northeastern Kharkiv region, the army general staff said Friday. Images of the Ukrainian flag being raised over local government buildings and residents greeting soldiers with tears of joy have boosted morale across the country after months on the defensive. One video showed Ukrainian soldiers in the city of Balakliya clambering on top of...

Two Palm Beach County School Board members voted against expelling a student carrying a meat cleaver despite Florida’s Zero Tolerance Laws and the School District’s own Zero Tolerance Policy. On Wed. Sept 7, the school board voted 5-2 to expel a student for bringing a meat cleaver to school. Alexandria Ayala, District 2, and Debra Robinson, District 7, ignored Florida Statute 1006.13 and the district’s own Zero Tolerance Policy #5.1814 and voted against expulsion. The District’s policy includes weapons like metallic knuckles and billies. Which are more commonly known as brass knuckles and wooden clubs as in a police officer’s...

ACCOUNTS RECEIVED IN WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, Sunday, Sept. 7 -- Afternoon. The intelligence received here last night, and additionally confirmed this morning, of the occupation of Frederick City, Maryland, by the rebel forces naturally excited much surprise, mingled with indignation and alarm. Frederick is about sixty miles from Baltimore by the railroad line, and forty overland from Washington, by way of Rockville, Darnstown and Poolesville, Md. There are but limited opportunities here of obtaining information from that point, almost all the intelligence coming by the way of Baltimore.The Government authourities received the news early yesterday evening in a written documentary form....

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemExodus 20The Ten Commandments 20 And God spoke all these words: 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me. 4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the...

Though there seems to be quite a bit of debate regarding the origin and validity, there is an archaic warning which finds its roots in Voltaire’s writing from 1765: Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. In the context of modern politics, where we’re all suffering under the indescribable derangement of Biden, the Democrats, and their faithful useful idiots, it’s cautionary wisdom worth heeding. Mainstream leftism actually accepts the notions that men can get pregnant, medical intervention to transition youngsters is acceptable, abortion is “healthcare”, and having white skin equates to having racial prejudices, regardless...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his daily address that he and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in an unannounced visit Thursday to Kyiv, talked about a variety of topics, including designating Russia as a terrorist state. “The legal reality must always correspond to the actual reality. And it is a fact that Russia has become the biggest source of terrorism in the world,” Zelenskyy said. “The world must receive an unequivocal signal that Russian terror will not be forgiven.” Also in his daily address, Zelenskyy said, “More than a thousand square kilometers of our territory have been liberated...

BRUSSELS, September 9, 2022—In a joint assessment released today, the Government of Ukraine, the European Commission, and the World Bank, in cooperation with partners, estimate that the current cost of reconstruction and recovery in Ukraine amounts to $349 billion (€349 Billion). This figure is expected to grow in the coming months as the war continues.President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, said: “Ukraine is fighting for democracy and our common values. The EU cannot match the sacrifice Ukraine is enduring but we are mobilising all our instruments to address the most immediate needs, including for housing for internally...

Democrats really, really, don't like us. To try and head off a likely loss of the House of Representatives and prepare for the next presidential election, Democrats create situations which raise anxiety in citizens, and this increases the chances their candidate will prevail because voters know discord will then subside. An example is Kathy Griffin’s widely read statement: “If you don’t want a Civil War, vote for Democrats in November. If you do want Civil War, vote Republican.” They make it very clear your life will only be peaceful if you keep Democrats in power, and they think that this...

In context, the CDC’s latest numbers about post-vax myocarditis represent a significant departure from last year’s narrative pushed by health bureaucrats and the media. When reports first surfaced in 2021 that some cases of myocarditis — the inflammation of the heart muscle, potentially leading to blood clots and heart attack or stroke — were potentially associated with the Covid-19 vaccine, the corporate media and its fact-checkers were quick to label them as misinformation, saying the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh its small risks. A year later, though, the media can no longer deny that what they called misinformation actually...

From empty rallies to endless investigations of President Trump, every can tell what the Democrats' end game is, which doesn't speak well for their intelligence. “Different people rise to the top under socialism than under capitalism. The higher on the socialist hierarchy you look, the more you will find people who are too incompetent to do the job they are supposed to do.” ~ Hans-Hermann Hoppe As Joe Biden’s mental incompetency continues to be revealed, and his historic unpopularity continues to rise, the leftists who infest MSNBC, CNN and the networks pretend that about thirty people showing up to see...

In order to avoid a Republican primary, Murkowski operatives orchestrated a takeover of state election laws. Election officials called Alaska’s special election House race for Democrat Mary Peltola over 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin last week. Peltola’s victory, despite nearly 60 percent of votes cast for a Republican on all first-choice ballots, will mark the first time since 1973 that a Democrat will represent the state in the lower chamber. Whether the August contest was Palin’s race or Republican Nick Begich’s race to lose is an open question. Whether the Republicans’ loss was a consequence of Alaska’s new...

A proposed law penalizing ambitious wokester prosecutors from prosecuting junk cases, such as happened to Kyle Rittenhouse, is worthy of promoting. A prosecutor who uses his or her authority to virtue signal to the public to advance his or her political career is more dangerous to society than all but the most violent criminals. Insurance will cover many forms of property crimes, and you can legally use deadly force against somebody who menaces you with death or serious bodily injury. A prosecutor, though, can bankrupt most people by filing unfounded criminal charges against them, ruin their lives with prison time...

Ukraine’s counteroffensives in the country’s south and northeast are gaining momentum, President Zelenskyy said, retaking territory and pressuring Russian troops. Ukrainian forces have recaptured 1,000 square kilometers (386 square miles) of land, he said in his nightly address. Over the summer, Ukraine had said it would launch a counteroffensive to retake the southern city of Kherson, but had not mentioned any plans to counterattack in the northeastern Kharkiv region or elsewhere in the east. Analysts say Kyiv could now be taking advantage of Russia’s decision to redeploy troops to southern Ukraine. Russia’s top lawmaker slammed the Group of Seven’s plan...
