Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter has shaken the fascist Left to its core; nothing seems to be more frightening to Leftists than the prospect of free and open discourse. But the euphoria among patriots and fear and rage among Leftists may both have been premature: Musk announced early Wednesday morning that he had talked with a group of “civil society leaders” about how “Twitter will continue to combat hate & harassment & enforce its election integrity policies.”Almost every one of the “leaders” with which Musk spoke was among the nation’s most prominent Leftists, and there was nary a critic of...

Ever since her election to Congress in 2018, Ilhan Omar been conducting her very own foreign policy, not just against Israel, that in her view can do no right, and for the Palestinians, who can do no wrong, but also to help Somalia attract more investment from Turkey, to support President Erdogan’s rejection of the charge of an Armenian “genocide”; to make the case for the jihadists in Kashmir who want to force Indian troops out of the area; and, of course, to promote the agenda of CAIR, that rewards her handsomely as one of their favorite speakers. Omar apparently...

President Biden just lost one of his midterm election talking points. “The U-3 unemployment rate the lowest since (garbled) at 3.5%!” Because it now has risen in October to 3.7%. Private payrolls added 233k jobs in October, which is a -27% decline from September’s revised private payroll figures. The good news? Average hourly earnings growth is still positive, but fell to 3.7% YoY. But with inflation raging at 8.2% YoY, workers are getting clobbered by inflation. Here is the rest of the story. The Fed is now green-lighted to raise rates even higher. Biden’s campaign promise was to unite rather...

SEOUL, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- South Korea scrambled fighter jets after detecting North Korean warplanes flying north of the border for four hours on Friday, Seoul defense officials said. South Korea's military detected about 180 flights of North Korean military aircraft between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., the defense ministry said in a text message to reporters. In response, South Korea "urgently scrambled its superior air force," including around 80 F-35A stealth fighter jets, the message said. Another 240 U.S. and South Korean aircraft participating in an ongoing large-scale joint air drill, called Vigilant Storm, also "maintained a readiness posture,"...

It costs a jaw-dropping $85,536 a year to attend the University of Chicago as an undergraduate and live on campus, but it’s worth every penny. For that money your son, daughter, or offspring of indeterminate gender can tackle some of the real problems that are bedeviling our society today. They can take a course entitled “The Problem of Whiteness,” which is part of the university’s rollicking “Critical Race and Ethnic Studies” curriculum. Yes, $85,536 for this crude racist indoctrination.As you might expect, the whole thing is couched in gobs of pseudo-intellectual verbiage loaded with the favored campus buzzwords of the...

A document for doctors in Canada has suggested that they bring up the topic of euthanasia before their patients do if the patient is eligible and it is “medically relevant.” The document, which was created by those who provided medically assisted suicide services or MAID (Medical assistance in dying), claims that doctors not only should bring up euthanasia with their patients but that they have an obligation to do so. The Canadian Association of MAID Assessors and Providers, who produced the document, claims that as long as the doctor is not trying to convince or persuade the patient to end...

Hey @AP, why does your headline make a Palestinian terrorist the primary subject without even identifying him as the murderer of the Israeli man? #HeadlineFail https://twitter.com/HonestReporting/status/1586716850964103169 Hebron Hatchet Job: Three Ways the Media Misreported Israel’s Latest Terror Atrocity by Akiva Van Koningsveld, Oct 31, 2022 https://www.algemeiner.com/2022/10/31/hebron-hatchet-job-three-ways-the-media-misreported-israels-latest-terror-atrocity/

The “red wave” that is coming on Tuesday is a rebellion by the American people themselves against the excesses of big government and a “woke” left-wing ideology that has been imposed on every aspect of our lives, making our society less safe and more unhappy. Democrats know what is coming. Even California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) admitted this week that a “red wave” is on the way. He added that his party is being “crushed” on “messaging,” arguing there is nothing wrong with Democrats’ policies, just their rhetoric.

Benjamin Netanyahu has become prime minister of Israel for a record third time as interim Prime Minister Yair Lapid called him on Thursday evening to concede defeat. The election was close, but in the end, Netanyahu’s coalition of right-wing religious parties edged out Lapid’s coalition of moderate, labor, and Arab parties by winning 64 of the 120 seats. Netanyahu first served as prime minister from 1996 to 1999, and then again from 2009 to 2021. He is currently on trial in three different courts on corruption charges, casting a cloud over this continued service. Times of Israel:All eyes are expected...

The nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report on Friday shifted its forecast of control for the Senate toward Republicans just four days out from the November midterms. Jessica Taylor, the Senate and governors editor for the Cook Political Report, said in her analysis that they were shifting their forecast of the race away from Democrats because the national environment as of late has been seen as more favorable toward Republicans and that issues like the economy and inflation are resonating more with voters now than abortion.

PHOENIX - Officials with the FBI and Homeland Security have a warning for people to be on the lookout for those who may be collecting materials to make homemade bombs. While there are no specific threats at this time, the warning comes amid rising tensions across the country, as well as several big events that are set to take place in the coming weeks, from the Midterm elections to the 2023 Super Bowl and the annual WM Phoenix Open, both of which are held in the Phoenix area. The power of explosives were on full display in Phoenix on Nov....

Nearly two years after the shambolic 2020 U.S. presidential election, tens of millions of ordinary Americans still suspect the election was rigged—through a combination of Big Tech interference, mail-in ballots lacking signature verification, so-called “ballot harvesting,” and the private takeover of government election operations by nonprofit organizations controlled by partisan Democrats, funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.A Monmouth University poll released in late September 2022 found that fully one-third (32%) of all Americans and 61% of Republicans still believe election interference was the cause of Donald Trump’s defeat—despite 23 months of non-stop and increasingly threatening media propaganda, a ludicrous Congressional...

On the day that Joe Biden was sworn into office, he signed dozens of extensively radical executive orders. Then the Biden administration began populating the federal government and the federal Judiciary — including the new Supreme Court vacancy — with hundreds (probably thousands) of the most extreme anti-American people imaginable. The administration has re-crafted an enormous number of laws and regulations — often illegally — to push the hard-left, woke, LGBT agendas throughout business, government, education, and society in general. U.S. foreign policy, including the hideous abandonment in Afghanistan and unhinged Ukrainian response, has clearly been coordinated to weaken America...

The investigators said 23% of monkeypox cases result in conjunctivitis, although these cases generally happen in boys younger than 10 years. Monkeypox is not confirmed to spread through tears during conjunctivitis, but smallpox is. Investigators noted that the similarity between the 2 diseases might indicate that conjunctivitis can spread monkeypox.

“For the children of this world are more prudent in dealing with their own generation than the children of light.” Luke 16:8bThis line comes at the conclusion of the parable of the Dishonest Steward. Jesus told this parable as a way of highlighting the fact that the “children of the world” are indeed successful in their manipulation of worldly things, whereas the “children of light” are not as shrewd when it comes to worldly things. So what does this tell us?It certainly does not tell us that we should enter into a worldly life striving to live by worldly standards...

President Trump soberly warned Americans that the U.S. had skipped straight from socialism to full communism in a new, exclusive interview with Americano Media’s Lucia Navarro. Regarding the importance of the upcoming midterm elections next week and the looming presidential election in 2024, Trump remarked, “I think if we don’t do well in those two elections, our country is gone.”The president continued in a solemn analysis:“I really believe we’ve passed socialism – you know, we’ve just stepped over socialism, we’re into communism, that’s what’s happening if you look at the Justice Department, the FBI…you look at the kind of things...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), one of the speakers at former President Donald Trump's rally in Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday, said that if Republicans win control of Congress next week, they will use their power of the purse to cut off military aid to Ukraine as it battles Russian invaders. "Under Republicans, not another penny will go to Ukraine," she said, to cheers from the crowd.

Grassroots challenger Adam Steen was endorsed by Donald Trump and almost took out Wisconsin House Speaker Vos, who stopped pretending he was interested in election integrity as soon as the primary was over. In this interview with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman, Steen talks about his surging write-in campaign to oust Speaker Vos and explains why it’s so important for Americans to run against establishment incumbents. Because of early voting, most voters did not even know Steen was endorsed by Trump when they voted. But now, he hopes they will go vote as fully informed citizens.

Turns out, the “Big Lie” is that January 6 ever mattered to anyone outside the Beltway. If there is a poster child for the Democrats’ humiliating failure to make the events surrounding January 6, 2021 a winning issue in the midterm elections, it is U.S. Representative Elaine Luria (D-Va.). The two-term congresswoman is fighting for her political life in a race now categorized as a toss-up; a recent poll showed Luria tied with Republican State Senator Jen Kiggans just a few weeks before an expected red wave election, despite Luria outspending Kiggans by a more than 2-1 margin. (Before the...
