The hypothesis that the Democrat party and its allies are behind storming the Capitol, violent disruption of the joint session, and its improper resumption and conclusion deserves more consideration. The current anti-Trump and anti-MAGA witch-hunt is not about 2024. The Democrat DoJ is safe for two more years. It is about January 6, 2021. The target is not so much Trump as the idea that electoral votes could be legally contested on the joint session of Congress. Obviously, the DoJ violates core freedom of speech. It also ignores the clear letter and spirit of the law regarding the joint session...

The New York Times has been accused of plumbing new depths in its campaign of 'sneering', 'anti-British propaganda', as an article revealed - with apparent surprise - that it would be up to UK taxpayers to pay for a funeral for their own head of state. The story labeled it a 'hefty price tag' amid rampant inflation in Britain, but readers were unamused, with some announcing they were cancelling their subscriptions following a barrage of attacks on the monarchy within days of the Queen's death. America's 'paper of record' has long been accused of displaying a haughty ignorance of the...

Russian missiles have hit a reservoir dam near the southern Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, officials say. Residents in some areas were told to evacuate, city head Oleksandr Vilkul said, but he added the situation was under control. Ukraine said the strike was revenge by Russia for its recent counter-attack. President Volodymyr Zelensky - who was born in the city - described Russia as a "terrorist state" after the attack on the Karachunivske reservoir. "You are weaklings who fight civilians," Mr Zelensky said in his late night address on Wednesday. "Scoundrels who, having escaped from the battlefield, are trying to...

About 50 migrants unexpectedly arrived by plane on Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday, local officials said, escalating a tactic in which Republican-led states have shipped busloads of migrants to liberal bastions like Washington and New York to protest the significant rise in illegal immigration under President Biden. The migrant group, which included children, arrived on two planes around 3 p.m. without any warning, said State Senator Julian Cyr, a Massachusetts Democrat representing Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. Officials and volunteers from the island’s six towns “really moved heaven and earth to essentially set up the response that we would do...

Scientists have outlined a controversial plan to refreeze the North and South Poles, and dial down the global thermostat. They say high-flying jets could spray microscopic aerosol particles into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight and cool the melting icecaps. Around 175,000 flights a year would be needed, releasing millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide. But a former UK chief scientist backed the plans, telling Sky News that polar warming is now critical - and refreezing the ice could hold back the rise in global sea levels. The new study was led by Wake Smith from Yale University in the United...

Today in Liberal NinnyNanny News, we have sad tidings for Canadians with unapproved hobbies:In recent years shipping swords around the world has become increasingly difficult and complicated – and most recently CANADA seems to have singled out swords as 'dangerous goods' and have started returning our shipments sent from the US to Canada, even singling swords out with their own 'dangerous goods' checkbox along with air shocks, guns, ink cartridges, knives, liquids, swords and the dreaded 'other' category. The merit of this spurious decision is a topic for another time, but least to say that lumping swords in with Airshocks,...

Ever since I wrote the substack article on human augmentation and the UK Ministry of Defence and the German Military Complex , discussing that these two organizations advocate for human augmentation in a report entitled "Human Augmentation – The Dawn of a New Paradigm", I have been wondering if the US government, that is to say the US Department of Defense (DoD) and the Administrative State which controls it, has developed similar plans. This week I did a little research starting with the key words - “human augmentation” and “DoD” and there “it” is. The “it” being the strategy playbook...

Three former U.S. Senate candidates in recent weeks have coalesced behind Trump-endorsed Kelly Tshibaka and not behind the 21-year incumbent, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). Candidates suspending their campaigns and falling behind Tshibaka is exactly what she needs to win because of Alaska’s ranked-choice voting system, which forwards votes from lesser candidates behind stronger ones as balloting progresses. Their early departure from the race and endorsement of Tshibaka will have an impact on the amount of votes that will fall to Tshibaka over Murkowski, as the second and third ballots present themselves. The latest example of a candidate dropping from the...

Ukrainian astronomers say the skies over their war-torn country are crowded not only with Russian missiles, but a large number of UFOs. The surprising claims were outlined in a new research paper published by the Main Astronomical Observatory of Ukraine’s National Academy of Science. The paper, titled “Unidentified area phenomena I. Observations of events,” claims that researchers have detected numerous UFOs from two meteor observation stations in Kyiv and the village of Vinarivka, about 75 miles outside the capital. “We see them everywhere. We observe a significant number of objects whose nature is not clear,” the authors of the paper...

Police have arrested two men in connection with a burglary at the Los Angeles home of a California congresswoman last week where two guns were stolen, authorities said. The men were arrested on Tuesday after investigators saw them get into a vehicle that had been parked at the home of Rep. Karen Bass during the break-in which took place on Saturday. LAPD Van Nuys officers arrested, 42-year-old, Patricio Munoz who is currently being held on $500,000 bail. Juan Espinoza, 24, was also arrested and is being held without bail. Bass, who is running for mayor of Los Angeles, previously said...

Known for her pageantry as a royal queen, her exemplary leadership, and her public statements of faith in Jesus Christ, Queen Elizabeth even developed a friendship founded in faith with the late American evangelist Billy Graham. In The Queen's Christmas Message from 2000, she said, "For me, the teachings of Christ and my own personal accountability before God provide a framework in which I try to lead my life... I, like so many of you, have drawn great comfort in difficult times from Christ's words and example." A rainbow appeared as people gathered outside Buckingham Palace in London, Sept. 8,...

More than 400 prominent Republicans have signed on to a letter in support of “gay marriage” and the passage of the Respect for Marriage Act, which would protect such couplings in federal law and repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman. News of the letter surfaced on Monday, Sept. 12, and the list of names was released today by Centerline Action, a new organization that describes itself as being “focused on forging consensus to advance centrist policy solutions capable of defending core constitutional freedoms and liberties, preserving a...
