Democrats have forced credit card companies to track your private Second Amendment-related purchases. It's basically a gun registry and fascism by proxy. There's a booming underground market for donkey penises in Africa. And Kamala Harris said January 6 is comparable to September 11, in some of her dumbest comments to date.

Abstract Students at North American universities risk disenrollment due to third dose COVID-19 vaccine mandates. We present a risk-benefit assessment of boosters in this age group and provide five ethical arguments against mandates. We estimate that 22,000 - 30,000 previously uninfected adults aged 18-29 must be boosted with an mRNA vaccine to prevent one COVID-19 hospitalisation. Using CDC and sponsor-reported adverse event data, we find that booster mandates may cause a net expected harm: per COVID-19 hospitalisation prevented in previously uninfected young adults, we anticipate 18 to 98 serious adverse events, including 1.7 to 3.0 booster-associated myocarditis cases in males,...

The Texas Department of Public Safety has suspended a trooper claiming his actions during a traffic stop were unprofessional and a violation of policy.

The two uttered calm, “mostly peaceful” speeches atop Biden’s wreckage of record inflation, record border crossings, record crime, record racial and political division, and full-blown generalized anxiety over the deliberate torching of America’s load-bearing institutions. The Obamas gave every indication that they have no earthly idea about what’s happening in the real world. “Joe, it is now America’s good fortune to have you as president,” Obama said in the speech, partly meant to atone for overshadowing Biden on his last visit. “You have guided us through some perilous times. You’ve built on and gone beyond the work we all did...

Former President Trump’s promise to grant pardons to the rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is running into strong opposition from Senate Republicans. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), one of Trump’s closest allies, told The Hill that granting pardons to Jan. 6 protesters is “a bad idea.” “Pardons are given to people who admit misconduct, rehabilitate themselves. They’re not supposed to be used for other purposes,” he said. Other Republican senators are joining Graham in criticizing Trump’s promise to pardon the Jan. 6 protesters as inappropriate. “I don’t think potential candidates should hold pardons out as a promise,”...

David Limbaugh, author of The Resurrected Jesus: The Church in the New Testament, said in an interview aired on Monday’s edition of the Breitbart News Daily podcast with Alex Marlow that gutless conservatives’ acceptance of leftist premises facilitates the “deliberate destruction” of America. “A lot of us are just sheep, even conservatives,” Limbaugh remarked. “We mouth these platitudes. We accept the premises, the unproven premises of climate change, for example, because we’re scared to death to challenge it, or Darwinism, or macroevolution.”

An elementary school in the Twin Cities suburb of Burnsville is selling “school spirit hijabs” to students at school events and online. William Byrne Elementary introduced the new “school spirit hijabs” this academic year. Like the school’s T-shirts, the hijabs are marked with the school logo featuring its mascot, Buster the Bulldog. Unlike the T-shirts, which cost $10 each, the hijabs only cost $6 each. KARE reports that the idea originated with Maryan Ali, the elementary school’s “Somali cultural liaison,” who pitched it to a mother who volunteers as the spirit wear coordinator for the school’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)....

A clear majority of 58 percent of likely voters say His Fraudulency Joe Biden should “quit blaming MAGA Republicans and get to working on the economy he ruined.” The poll comes from Rasmussen Reports in the wake of Biden’s disastrous Red Sermon, where he went to Philadelphia to declare war on half the country, those of us who dare support former President Trump. By demonizing half the country, Biden, his fellow Democrats, and the corporate media are hoping to do two things: 1) change the subject away from the recession that Biden and his disastrous policies plunged America into, and...

CAPSTONE entered into safe mode during the evening of Thursday, September 8, just as the probe was completing a trajectory correction maneuver. CAPSTONE’s mission team “has good knowledge of the state and status of the spacecraft,” NASA said in a painfully brief statement. “The mission operations team is in contact with the spacecraft and working towards a solution with support from the Deep Space Network. Additional updates will be provided as available.” No further updates have been provided since the statement was published on September 10. CAPSTONE, or Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment, launched to space...

Sep. 12—Lawyers representing Project Veritas, which made an undercover video of a Greenwich assistant principal appearing to admit hiring discrimination against Catholics, conservatives, and people over 30, has responded angrily to a demand by the state attorney general's office that the organization preserve all material potentially relevant to its investigation. PRESERVATION ISSUE DEMAND: Connecticut attorney general's office wants Project Veritas to preserve all material potentially relevant to a civil rights investigation the office has opened in response to a covert video the group made of comments by an assistant principal in Greenwich. RESPONSE: Project Veritas wants that demand "retracted immediately,"...

Britain’s King Charles III was formally proclaimed king and “Defender of The Faith” in a weekend ceremony, and in his first speech affirmed his “particular relationship and responsibility towards the Church of England,” even as he pledged to serve the citizens of Britain and its realms, “whatever may be your background or beliefs.” In a ceremony accompanied by centuries-old pageantry in London’s St. James Palace, an official known as the Garter King of Arms proclaimed that:“… the Prince Charles Philip Arthur George is now, by the death of our late sovereign of happy memory, become our only lawful and rightful...

Firefly Aerospace is aiming to launch its second rocket from Vandenberg on Sunday after their first launch exploded. The Firefly Alpha Rocket is scheduled to launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base's Space Launch Complex 2-West in a 3:00 - 7:00 p.m. launch window. Just over a year ago, the rocket's first launch ended in an explosion about 2 minutes and 30 seconds after launching, sending debris into the backyards of residential homes as far as Orcutt. There were no reported injuries. The private rocket company stated the rocket had experienced an anomaly during the first stage ascent. Alpha Flight 2:...

The Aug. 8 Mar-a-Lago Raid and President Joe Biden’s dystopian Independence Hall speech to start September began a transparent autumn effort to thrust former President Donald Trump back into the spotlight. Why you ask? Because Biden and Democrats much prefer to make the crucial midterm elections a referendum on someone not currently holding office than their party’s disastrous policies. Any Trump-related headline, they believe, can distract not only from Democratic debacles but Republicans’ superior plans for America should the GOP reclaim power. A recap shouldn’t be necessary, but the Reader’s Digest version includes Team Biden mishandling COVID-19 policies, letting teachers’...

By its campaign and conduct of the 2020 election, the ruling class ceased pretending to be part of a constitutional republic. By treating fellow Americans as inferiors through word and deed, its members renounced their common citizenship with us. Eschewing persuasion, they set about compelling obedience to an openly manipulated election.

President Joe Biden campaigned on a promise to unite the nation, but his speech earlier this month in Philadelphia has Americans divided. In his September 1 speech, Biden said: “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic." The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 48% of Likely U.S. voters agree with that quote, including 36% who Strongly Agree. Forty-seven percent (47%) disagree with Biden’s slam on “MAGA Republicans,” including 39% who Strongly Disagree. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The Left has hit Trump very hard and is threatening to arrest him. Anyone know where he is and what he's doing lately?

Latest update from The New Atlas focusing on the realities of Ukraine's recent tactical victory vs. the enormous structural cost that likely leads to speeding up to Ukraine's eventual strategic failure. Ukraine lost 5-7 brigades (20,000 to 28,000 men) in just that short 10 day period of "counter offensive." Makes the interesting point that Russia's decision to withdraw eliminated Ukraine's ability to significantly reduce Russia's manpower or weaponry. By enticing Ukraine to come out of their covered defensive positions and into the open it has provided an easier target for Russia to attack by air and artillery Ukraine's stretched out...
