Besieged by angry viewers, denounced by then-President Trump, questioned by some of its own stars, Fox News found itself in a near-impossible spot on Election Night 2020 after its election-analysis team announced before any other network that Joe Biden would win the pivotal swing state of Arizona. Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott proved so flummoxed by what ensued that she warned colleagues, "We can't give the crazies an inch." That's according to the account of a lawyer for Dominion Voting Systems, which is seeking $1.6 billion from Fox in a defamation suit over false allegations on the network that the...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency last week denied a legal petition by Center for Food Safety, Pesticide Action Network of North America and others, demanding that the agency fix its failure to regulate pesticide-coated seeds, which are known to be widely harming bees and other pollinators.Last week, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) denied a legal petition by Center for Food Safety (CFS), Pesticide Action Network of North America and others, demanding that the agency fix its failure to regulate pesticide-coated seeds, which are known to be widely harming bees and other pollinators.These crop seeds are coated with systemic insecticides...

Beginning with “We the People” the Constitution is a compact, an agreement among equals, the people of the American civil society. The events of 1787-1788 could have been scripted straight out of John Locke’s Second Treatise. A preexisting civil society came to the conclusion that its current form of government was inadequate to secure its unalienable rights, which, per the Declaration is the broad purpose of government. Through state sponsored conventions special delegations of the sovereign people debated the pro/con of establishing a new government. Just as Locke described the steps that men emerging from the State of Nature naturally...

Amazon is facing a lawsuit accusing it of selling so-called suicide kits, brought by the families of two teenagers who bought a deadly chemical on the company's website and later used it to take their own lives. The parents of 16-year-old Kristine Jónsson of Ohio and the parents of 17-year-old Ethan McCarthy of West Virginia say the retail giant assisted in the deaths of the two minors by selling them sodium nitrite, a food preservative that is fatal at high levels of purity. The complaint filed in California state court in September claims Amazon recommended that customers who purchased the...

Does it ever occur to the authoritarian far left that it's leftists who are the fascists? A recent video showed why fascism is a far-left phenomenon, but leftists never fully understand this because they get only one side of the story. Serious question: Do anti-liberty leftists ever look in the mirror or have a moment of self-reflection that maybe they're the threat to our constitutional republic? Do they ever consider the possibility that they are the "baddies"? Do they understand that we of the pro-freedom right really don't have a choice in being inundated with leftist propaganda 24/7? Even the...

De Corte was not physically injured in the attack, but endured years of panic attacks and depression afterward, the Mirror reported. She tried to kill herself twice, in 2018 and 2020, and posted regularly on social media about her struggles. “With all the medications I take, I feel like a ghost that can’t feel anything anymore. Maybe there were other solutions than medications,” she wrote in one post, according to the Belgian news site RTBF. De Corte, then 23, chose to be euthanized earlier this year, which is legal in Belgium. She died on May 7 after two psychiatrists signed...

Signature legislation actually 'gooses' higher prices Joe Biden was partying over the Democrats' "Inflation Reduction Act" just as inflation was surging upward. In fact, according to a commentary at The Gatestone Institute by Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, Biden's agenda, instead of lowering inflation, actually "gooses" it. "Biden threw a party to celebrate the Inflation Reduction Act on the White House South Lawn even as the latest figures showed that core inflation has continued to rise. Grocery prices had the steepest increase since 1979. Rent prices shot up again and medical costs are...

French author Annie Ernaux, who was awarded the Nobel Literature Prize this week, signed an open letter Sunday supporting a mass protest against President Emmanuel Macron called by the country's left-wing opposition. Organisers of the demonstration on October 16 accuse Macron of failing to tackle soaring prices for energy and other essentials, and insufficient action against climate change. "Emmanuel Macron is seizing this inflation to widen the wealth gaps, and boost the profits of capital, at everyone else's expense," said the letter in the Journal du Dimanche newspaper. "And this shock is allowing this government of the rich to open...

Their computer-generated predictions have been completely off but that doesn't deter the green pushers from ratcheting up each succeeding dire warning. Meanwhile, progrerssive policies wreak havoc on American life. The media and others continually said Ian was the deadliest hurricane in Florida in over 90 years, as if that is a meaningful statistic. They say that Ian was caused by manmade climate change. Of course, they gave zero scientific evidence to support that statement, because there is none, but the indoctrination continues. Only one of the deadliest 24 hurricanes in the U.S has occurred after 1970. Eight of the deadliest...

The Biden administration's policies on race are another example of the Democrats destroying the country while claiming to fix it. This week, President Biden suggested that the federal government has engaged in racial discrimination with respect to sentencing people for marijuana possession. “Sending people to jail for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives.... That’s before you address the clear disparities around prosecution and conviction.” Ann Althouse thinks he was spouting blarney for political purposes. But if he thought this was the case, he shouldn’t have selected Kamala Harris as his running mate. She made her mark as a California...

Joe Biden’s visit to a Volvo powertrain plant in Hagerstown, Maryland. He showed how he doesn’t just have a problem with coherence, he also has a problem with math. ... Biden: "Let me start off with two words: Made in America".. ... That was widely reported in conservative media. But typically, liberal media missed it. This means that most people on the left who just consume MSNBC weren’t aware of it. They’re not aware of most of Biden’s incoherence and gaffes because a lot of it isn’t reported on in the media they watch. But it means they’re truly clueless...

The 1973 film The Exorcist was based in part on a family with close ties to St. Louis. The child that inspired the movie, Ronald Hunkler, grew up to work at NASA, the government agency confirms. He joined NASA in February 1962 to work in the spacecraft technology division. It is located at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. “His work with the high-temperature resistant ceramic compound was detailed in a Goddard News article,” said Sean Potter, Public Affairs Specialist. He said that a photo of him was published along with the article in the 1964 edition. “He...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMatthew 6 Prayer 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be...

Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. Deuteronomy 13:4 (King James Version) President Barak ordered the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines to create his next crisis. The DNC motto is never let a dead body go to waste and he does not plan to. He has systematically destroyed America's energy industry to cause another crisis and recreate the Martial Law lockdowns the world had during Cold-19. If he can drive the world into ten-dollar gas and rationing, then...

Wish I could claim the thought within this commentary as my own, but I can’t. The realization comes from the Holy Spirit, as do all thoughts that truly glorify our God. But, humanly speaking, I must give credit for sparking my thinking to Dr. David Jeremiah, whose program Turning Point I try to catch at 5:00 or 5:30 (Central Time) on either A&E or The History Channel each weekday morning. So it was the other day that Dr. Jeremiah began talking about the compilation of evils we are now witnessing. How, if attuned to things going on in our nation...

In one of my past articles, I wrote that I believe America is in a spiritual war because we have thrown God: Out of many of our schools. Out of many of our courts. Out of most of our government. Out of most of our homes. Out of most of our churches. We have soaked our land in the blood of aborted babies. Our government has been buying and selling the body parts of aborted babies. We have elected people to lead us that say they are Christians, but they vote for abortion, promote the gay agenda, appoint godless judges,...
