  • Hurricane Hysteria, Hype, and Histrionics

    American Thinker ^ | 10 Oct, 2022 | Brian C. Joondeph
    Common sense logic is lost on the left. Media cranks apparently never learned science or critical thinking during journalism school. Hurricane season is upon Southeastern America and that means hair-on-fire hysteria from the media and the political left. After Hurricane Ian ravaged southwest coastal Florida, we have heard nothing but hype from the corporate media, eager to connect every hurricane to catastrophic global warming, climate change, or whatever excuse they are currently using to usher in the Green New Deal and tyrannical top-down control of all aspects of our lives. Hurricanes are not new and are a staple of southern...
  • Ex-Republican congressman Riggleman cuts ad supporting Spanberger (he's an ex-Republican alright!)

    Former Virginia Republican congressman Denver Riggleman is going to bat for Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D) in her competitive reelection bid in Virginia’s 7th District, appearing in a new TV ad urging voters to back the congresswoman for her willingness to work across the aisle. “This is not a typical political ad,” Riggleman says in the opening frame. “I’m a Republican congressman saying nice things about a Democrat.” Indeed, it’s pretty unusual for a former Republican congressman to campaign for a sitting Democrat, a la Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) supporting Democrats in Arizona over the election-denying Republican candidates for governor and...
  • Belarus's Lukashenko Warns Ukraine, Deploys Troops With Russia

    Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Monday he had ordered troops to deploy with Russian forces near Ukraine in response to what he said was a clear threat to Belarus from Kyiv and its backers in the West. The remarks from Lukashenko, who has held power in Belarus since 1994, indicate a potential further escalation of the war in Ukraine, possibly with a combined Russian-Belarus joint force in the north of Ukraine. "Strikes on the territory of Belarus are not just being discussed in Ukraine today, but are also being planned," Lukashenko said at a meeting on security, without providing...

    PICTURE IN YOUR MIND A HIGHLY COMPLICATED MACHINE. God's IQ And Human Comforts. By JAG October 10,2022 Just how intellectually brilliant is the God that created and designed the human brain that created and designed that machine up there? Answer: His intellectual brilliance would be off the charts. God's intelligence level would be incomprehensible to we humans. The web says there are 200 billion trillion stars in the universe and that the number of galaxies is between 100 billion and 200 billion. God is brilliant. God can add, so to speak, a running list of 20 digit numbers, as fast...

    Director Nicholas Stoller: 'It's almost like people don’t know what’s good for them' The writer/director previously delivered hits like “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” “Get Him to the Greek,” “The Muppets” and “Neighbors.” Now, with theatrical comedies on life support, Stoller is back with “Bros.” The gay rom-com follows two stubbornly single souls (Billy Eichner, Luke Macfarlane) who fall in love despite themselves. And audiences are staying far, far away from the film. The film infamously earned $4.8 million on its opening weekend, a far cry from its $22 million budget and reported $30-40 million marketing costs. Hollywood news outlets have been...

    This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

    Ten days after the explosions targeting the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, which occurred on September 26 in the Danish and Swedish exclusive economic zones in the Baltic Sea, the investigation is slowly moving forward. Conducted with civilian and military resources by Denmark, Sweden and Germany as part of a joint team, it promises to be both technically delicate and subject to strong pressure, so much so that this alleged sabotage has rekindled concerns about the control of the seabed in several European countries. On Thursday, October 6, the Swedish security service (Säpo) issued a statement saying that...

    An Indian diplomat in Russia said Russian banks had reached out to eight large Indian counterparts to set up rupee trade settlements, but the Indian banks had not responded...One of them, a senior executive at a large state-owned bank, said using such a settlement mechanism could be a violation of some sanctions rules. "They (Western nations) can impose a sanction on us, it will be a major business and reputational loss," said the banker.

    (LifeSiteNews) — Jalisa Vine gives a heartbreaking testimony on how gender surgeries ruined her life in a “detransition diary” video series where she talks about how her medical “transition” from female to male permanently damaged her and how she is now trying to detransition and accept herself for who she really is. The description of Vine’s introduction video reads “Born female, at the age of 18 I began medically transitioning. 8 years later- after hormones, and several surgeries, I am now detransitioning.” The detransitioner describes how traumatic experiences led to her decision to medically transition. “The majority of my life...

    LifeSiteNews) – One of the key accusations consistently leveled against Libs of TikTok, which has made countless videos of trans activists go viral – stating their agenda and views in their own words – is that they cherry-pick egregious examples of people saying things out of context to further a “transphobic” agenda. This, obviously, is a weak attempt to divert our attention from the fact that these videos were first posted by trans activists themselves, and that we should listen very closely to what they are saying due to their position of cultural influence. One recent example from Johns Hopkins...

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said that Russia's latest attack on civilian targets in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhya that killed 14 people and left scores wounded, including children, was an act of "terrorism at state level," which proved that it is impossible to negotiate with Russia. "The constant terrorism against the civilian population is Russia's obvious rejection of real negotiations," Zelenskiy said in a video message late on October 9. "Terrorism at the state level is one of the worst international crimes." Ukrainian officials in Zaporizhzhya said that nine rockets fired by Russian forces overnight on October 8-9...

    A megayacht linked to a sanctioned Russian oligarch has dropped anchor in Hong Kong, amid efforts by the West to seize the luxury assets of Russian elites in allied ports as the war in Ukraine drags on. The Nord, a nearly 142-meter (466-foot) yacht that is said to be one of the world’s largest, was spotted by CNN on Friday in Hong Kong’s waters, just minutes from the central downtown district. The vessel is estimated to be worth at least $500 million and widely believed to belong to Alexey Mordashov, an industrial billionaire, according to a yacht broker who spoke...
