The ruling class has failed immensely. The last two years are proof, but with each passing day, one wonders: Are America’s elites plunging into madness? That’s a dead serious question. With their madness may go our lives. That’s dead serious, too. Joe Biden spoke the other day about the possibility of nuclear “Armageddon.” With cataclysm in mind, Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services spent $290 million on anti-radiation drugs. Uncle Sam makes plenty of wasteful expenditures, but is this one? Said our doddering president, AP, October 7: Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser, Biden said Thursday night that Russian President...

HARRISBURGH, Friday, Oct. 10 -- 7:30 P.M. GOV. CURTIN has just received the following dispatch from Col. MCCLURE, at Chambersburgh: “Mercersburgh was occupied by Stewart's rebel cavalry to-day, and they are now advancing on Chambersburgh. They took horses and all other property they wanted at Mercersburgh, offering rebel scrip for it. They did no injury to individuals that I have heard of. The force is estimated at three thousand. The rebels are certainly advancing upon Chambersburgh. They have cut the Bedford wire. They are reported as near as St. Thomas, about seven miles from here. There is no doubt whatever...

I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war. I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the...

Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), is in Ukraine. Miguel Cardona, the Secretary of Education in the Biden Shipwreck, is worried about contraception for children. Your children were kept out of school for two years. Their reading and math scores are in the septic tank. This is not an accident or incompetence. And not us let forget that the Attorney General Merrick Garland considers complaining parents to be domestic terrorists. The elites of our country are intentionally destroying your children. You cannot sit this one out. Randi Weingarten (AFT) had the gall to Tweet that she...

Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard announced she left the Democratic Party on Tuesday, denouncing the organization as an "elitist cabal."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) spoke at the ribbon-cutting ceremony that opened an expanded San Francisco-Marin Food Bank on Friday and quoted from the Gospel of Matthew. “And just the thought that children in America–the greatest country that ever existed in the history of the world—children were going to sleep—one in five children in our country—hungry at night. How could that be?” said Pelosi. “How can that be when you're a country of faith?” she said. “A country of faith, and the Bible tells us, ‘When as I was hungry, you fed me.’ ‘You fed me.’” …

Florida's candidates for governor are set to go head-to-head on some of the top issues that are on voters' minds. Incumbent Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and his Democratic rival Charlie Crist have agreed on a date for a debate. The candidates will meet for a single public debate on Oct. 24. The debate will be held at the Sunrise Theatre in Fort Pierce. It was originally scheduled for Oct. 12 but was changed due to recovery efforts following Hurricane Ian.

GAINESVILLE — Students and faculty at the University of Florida gave U.S. Sen Ben Sasse a raucous welcome to campus Monday, greeting the Nebraska Republican with biting questions and a loud protest as he sought to introduce himself as the school’s likely next president. Introduced last week as the only finalist for the job, the 50-year-old Sasse faced opposition to his stances against same-sex marriage, his past efforts to do away with tenure and a decision by UF leaders to keep much of the selection process secret. During the second of three public forums, about 200 student protesters crowded into...

"More and more brazen attacks are being launched against Russia and Washington is doing little to hide US fingerprints. Why? The Biden Administration seems to be moving us closer to nuclear war over Ukraine and Biden himself seems to know it. Last week he said, Putin “is not joking when he talks about potential use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons…” For the “first time since the Cuban missile crisis, we have a direct threat of the use [of nuclear weapons] if in fact things continue down the path they are going.” So the question is if...

Residents in the city of Oakland are outraged at prostitutes working their neighborhoods in broad daylight after California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill decriminalizing loitering for prostitution. People living in the East 15th Street neighborhood are demanding that city leaders do something about the problem. A news report from KPIX-TV showed prostitutes brazenly standing in the street soliciting customers while Estefani Zarate, a life-long resident, pushed a stroller alongside her child. "I think it's inappropriate but we can't really do much towards them," said Zarate. She went on to say she was scared at what her young children witness...

(RNS) — Queer students like Veronica Bonifacio Penales, who have been protesting religious university policies they call discriminatory and homophopic, often find themselves confronting the same question: “Why would you go to a Christian school if you are LGBTQ?” For many of these students, this fight at religiously affiliated universities is part of a larger push happening from within Christianity toward more inclusive beliefs to, as activists at Seattle Pacific University put it, “deconstruct harmful theologies on sexuality, gender and queerness.” And, as they’ve reminded their thousands of social media followers: “You can be queer and Christian.” “We shouldn’t have...

Israel and Lebanon have reached a historic agreement, leaders on each side said separately on Tuesday, settling a years-long maritime border dispute involving major oil and gas fields in the Mediterranean. ...

Ukrainians are celebrating and posing next to a giant postage stamp depicting the Crimea bridge explosion on Saturday that severely damaged the sole road route from Russia to Crimea. An explosion damaged the 12-mile Kerch Straight Bridge, which has been an essential supply route for Russian forces invading southern Ukraine, according to Reuters. Russian officials said a fuel tank explosion at about 6 a.m. on Saturday left a portion of the bridge collapsed, though parts of it have since reopened to traffic. In Kyiv, Ukrainians celebrated by posing with an oversize postage stamp depicting the bridge explosion. Though the country...

Former President Trump criticized Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday for supporting funds for GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s (Alaska) reelection bid against a fellow Republican rather than directing that money to Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters’s (R) race against a Democrat. “The Old Broken Crow, Mitchell McConnell, is authorizing $9 Million Dollars to be spent in order to beat a great Republican, Kelly, instead of $9 Million Dollars that could be used for Blake Masters, and other Republicans, that with this money would beat their Democrat opponent,” wrote Trump in a statement, referring to Kelly Tshibaka, who will...

A union representing nearly 12,000 railroad workers on Monday voted down the tentative contract agreement between freight railroad companies and all 12 of their unions brokered by the White House last month. Why it matters: The rejection, by the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division of the Teamsters (BMWED), raises the prospect once again of a nationwide rail strike.

On September 21, putin announced an open mobilization in the rf, which he called partial. Perhaps, it would have frightened the Ukrainians, but for their previous experience of fierce resistance to the enemy. In February-March, we were confronted to no draftees who had never seen combat. We were confronted to the strong elite units. Nevertheless, the Ukrainians haven’t lost heart. They have done the impossible. We have collected historical footage in chronological order to remind of the courage and invincibility of our soldiers.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) says there need to be “major changes” to the Justice Department and FBI, and FISA should be allowed to expire, if Republicans win control of Congress in November. “I think we should not even reauthorize FISA (The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act), which is going to come in the next Congress,” Rep. Jordan said in a Fox News Channel interview on Sunday. At the very least, Congress needs to change the FISA process, Jordan said. FISA was intended to facilitate the gathering of foreign, not domestic, intelligence information. But, conservatives have become increasing concerned about abuses of...
