Pro-impeachment and 21-year incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has adopted departing Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-WY) January 6 insurrection narrative heading into the November midterm election. “That was insurrection,” Murkowski claimed on the With All Due Respect podcast with Andrew Halcro, referring to the riot. “Criminals who come in, who raided the capital on January 6, need to be tried under the due process of the law. … We need to make sure we’ve got a process that is truly fair under our Constitution, and that is what we are seeing going forward.”

New York City officials are thinking about flying illegal immigrants out of the Big Apple to Florida after officials in Texas bussed 11,000 border crossers to the sanctuary city, the Daily Mail reported on Friday. Manuel Castro, NYC’s Commissioner of Immigration Affairs, said that most of the migrants are from Venezuela, and they want to go to the Sunshine State because it has a large community of Venezuelans. “Many want to go to places like Florida where the largest community of Venezuelans live,” Castro told Fox News. The influx of immigrants forced the city’s shelters to reject nearly 1,000 people,...

An Antifa group doxed a Portland police officer online and boasted about having vandalized his vehicle while it was parked outside his home earlier this week. Details about the incident were contained in an anonymous post on a self-proclaimed “anarchist counter-info platform” known as Rose City Counter-Info, The Post Millennial reported. “Overnight, anarchists visited PPB cop Andrew Hearst at his home in Vancouver Washington,” the post read. “A personal vehicle that belongs to Andrew Hearst was discretely sabotaged.” “If you thought we would forget Quanice Hayes and Merle Hatch, the victims of Andrew Hearst, you are wrong,” the anarchists wrote....

As Jesus continues his “death march” to Jerusalem in Luke’s Gospel (Luke 9–19), he challenges us this Sunday to choose, in a clear and conscious way, our goal in life: God or money. The First Reading reminds us that wealth was a seductive trap for the people of God throughout salvation history. 1. The First Reading is Amos 8:4-7: Hear this, you who trample upon the needy and destroy the poor of the land! “When will the new moon be over,” you ask, “that we may sell our grain, and the sabbath, that we may display the wheat? We will...

One Ohio Democrat is taking the idea of running away from the unpopular Joe Biden to a whole new level. In a virtual town hall on Tuesday, Ohio Democrat David Esrati accused the president of corruption and called his son Hunter Biden a "dope fiend." "I know I'm a Democrat and everything, but do you want to tell me what Joe Biden's done since he got elected when he was 27 years old?" said Esrati, the Democratic nominee for Ohio's 10th Congressional District. "How does he own all those houses? How is he worth what he's worth? I mean, yeah,...

Ugandans have launched an online petition against a recently passed European Union (EU) Parliament resolution that seeks to halt the $3.8b (sh14 trillion) crude oil pipeline project in the East African region. The EU Parliament wants to delay the project for at least one year on account of breach of human rights, democracy and the rule of law in Uganda and Tanzania. However, Elly Karuhanga, a founding and senior partner with Kampala Associated Advocates, said he did not see a positive angle emerging from this resolution that was passed on September 15. “It has united and galvanized us. The days...

Once upon a time comedy was meant to make you laugh by poking fun at real life things. Things that may offend, and while most people laughed it off, it has become blasphemy to even consider talking about such things in today’s woke society. “Wokeness” has started to creep into the world by extreme Leftists, and real comedy has become a thing of the past. Saturday Night Live is a prime example, and if you thought it couldn’t get anymore woke, think again. The show added its first ever nonbinary cast member to the lineup who will make regular appearances...

Another excellent presentation from my favorite Military Analyst, Scott Ritter. Though this one offers a new twist in the first 1/2 hr. of the program. Ritter passionately answers a question from a viewer about his criminal conviction in great detail and makes clear he is not guilty. Years of appeals that are still in progress. This is the first time I have seen him address this question.

Scene: With a patient in my medical exam room Me: How old are your kids? Patient: Forty-four and 39 from my wife who passed away, and from my second wife, 15 and 13. Me: That’s quite the age difference! Patient: Well, the older ones didn’t give me any grandkids, so I made my own. —Mria Murillo I tried having my mother’s phone disconnected, but the customer-service rep told me that since the account was in my dad’s name, he’d have to be the one to put in the request. The fact that he’d been dead for 40 years didn’t sway...

Conventional wisdom holds that low protein intake is essential for kidney disease patients. However, scientists demonstrated that it might not always be the case with their recent study on the relationship between protein intake and skeletal muscle mass in kidney transplant recipients. Chronic kidney disease patients are known to have induced sarcopenia due to chronic inflammation, hypercatabolism, decreased nutrient intake, and decreased physical activity associated with impaired kidney function. Recovery of renal function due to successful kidney transplantation is able to correct or improve many of those physiological and metabolic abnormalities. As a result, kidney transplant recipients increase skeletal muscle...
