VIDEOAmerican sailors, marines, and soldiers during WWII in the Pacific Theater listened to Tokyo Rose all they wanted WITHOUT interference from the government. In fact, Tokyo Rose broadcasts were frequently piped in over the shipboard radios. Meanwhile in the European theater American and allied military personnel were allowed to listen to both Axis Sally and Lord Haw-Haw WITHOUT interference from government censors.Contrast that to the situation in 2022 when, despite not even being at war with Russia, Social Media (at the urging of the government) is actively censoring not only RT and Sputnik but a whole host of other sources...

True the Vote founder Catherine Englebrecht and election data security analyst, Gregg Phillips, were previously in contempt of court and placed in jail for failing to outline the participants in a 2020 hotel discussion that revealed the Konnech election data compromise that was transmitted to Chinese networks. {Go Deep} Konnech CEO Eugene Yu was arrested for exploiting access to U.S. election data, including election worker information, and transferring the files to China. Eugene Yu and Konnech sued True the Vote and are using the U.S. civil judicial system to find out who told the FBI about the Chinese data harvesting...

President Biden made his closing argument to voters in a largely unwatched TV broadcast. He warned that “failure to vote Democrat means siding with the enemies of our democracy. It’s right there on your ballot. Candidates with a ‘D’ after their names are friends of democracy. Candidates with an ‘R’ after their names are rebelling against our democracy.” As proof of the veracity of his contention, Biden cited the 2 am attack on Paul Pelosi by MAGA extremist David DePape, calling it “emblematic of the type of political violence instigated against democracy by Donald Trump. The brazen nature of this...

The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all these things and sneered at him. And Jesus said to them, “You justify yourselves in the sight of others, but God knows your hearts; for what is of human esteem is an abomination in the sight of God.” Luke 16:14-15“God knows the heart!” What a great truth to be deeply aware of. So often in life there are misconceptions we have of others and misconceptions that others have about us. This passage goes to the heart of this tendency of the Pharisees to create a false image of themselves for others to see...

Jewish groups thought Elon Musk was listening to them about antisemitism on Twitter. Then Kanye West came back. In the week after the rapper who now goes by Ye lost most of his endorsements due to his antisemitic rants, and amid an apparent uptick in broader antisemitic content on the platform, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) met with Musk, the social media giant’s mercurial new owner, about keeping hate speech off the site. Three days later, all goodwill from the meeting has devolved, as anti-Jewish content on Twitter is experiencing a “prolific surge,” according to the Network Contagion Research Institute, a...

MARKET EXTRA The Federal Reserve on Friday confirmed what many investors were saying for some time: the $24 trillion Treasury market has been experiencing low levels of market liquidity in recent months. The central bank has been rapidly increasing interest rates since March as part of a fight to bring inflation down from a 40-year high. The hope has been that such steps can cool consumer demand enough to tame prices, without throwing the economy into a painful recession, or spark a financial crisis. But since May, cracks in liquidity in Treasurys, the biggest, deepest part of the U.S. bond...

My SSA payment is normally deposited on the second Wednesday of each month, but it was deposited yesterday or today. Anyone else notice an early payment? This is really odd.

From Uggs to low-rise jeans, the fashion world is seeing a resurgence of questionable trends from two decades ago. Now, it seems as though the thin, heroin-chic body of the 1990s and early aughts is also making a comeback. In early October, Bella Hadid closed out Paris fashion week at Coperni, her tiny form nearly naked on the runway as a dress was spray-painted onto her skin. Days later at the Miu Miu spring 2023 show in Milan, waifish girls paraded down the runway with bared midriffs, some of them modeling the “micro-mini” skirt for which the label has recently...

Millions of Americans are currently working two or more jobs in order to make ends meet, as global inflation and corporations jacking up prices have sent prices of food, gas, housing, health insurance and other necessities soaring in the past year. Cashe Lewis, 31, of Denver, Colorado works two jobs and is currently trying to find a third job to cover the recent $200 monthly rent increase to her apartment. She works days as a barista at Starbucks, but claims it’s been difficult to get enough hours even with taking extra shifts whenever she can due to scheduling cuts as...

I thought I would have a little fun ridiculing leftists on Twitter so I created an account last night. I first turned on my VPN, then created a Proton Email account and created a Twitter account using the new email. I just commented on a Fetterman post: “You better learn to code because you’ll need a new job after Tuesday.” It took all of two seconds for my account to be blocked. I am not responding to their questions, including giving them my phone number, to be reinstated.

I'm a real Pennsylvanian, and I'm a stroke victim of Dr. Oz, and I'm getting softball questions from a sycophant and a carefully picked, sparse audience is cheering on cue.

Sen. Joe Manchin Saturday demanded President Biden apologize for saying coal plants "all across America" will be shut down, in a scathing statement just days before crucial midterm elections.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the Mouse on the Mayflower for my granddaughter? It's an animated politically INcorrect cartoon with Tennessee Ernie Ford voicing one of the characters/narrating. It was available on Youtube in it's entirety and UNnarrated by leftists revisionist critiques LAST year, but now you can only get it with the above mentioned leftards narrating! Probably due to Biden Big Tech. It's also been taken out of the local libraries as well and non-existent on Amazon.

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin on Saturday slammed President Joe Biden for pledging to shut down America’s coal plants in a speech in California. “President Biden’s comments are not only outrageous and divorced from reality, they ignore the severe economic pain the American people are feeling because of rising energy costs,” Manchin (D-W.Va.) said in a statement just days ahead of the midterm elections. “Comments like these are the reason the American people are losing trust in President Biden. … It seems his positions change daily depending on the audience and politics of the day.” In a speech about the CHIPS...

Cardinal Burke and Bishop Schneider Restate Concerns About Restrictions on Traditional LiturgyVATICAN CITY — Cardinal Raymond Burke has questioned the basis of papal-led efforts to restrict and eventually eliminate the traditional Latin Mass, while Bishop Athanasius Schneider has said the “millennium-old treasure” cannot be destroyed, as it is the work of the Holy Spirit.The cardinal and bishop kindly shared their comments as part of a talk I gave the Latin Mass Society in London on Oct. 21.As concerns deepen over this pontificate’s new restrictions regarding the traditional liturgy, Cardinal Burke said that “to the degree that reason and sound...

In late October, the Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota posted a video he knew would be controversial. "I've been called extreme, and perhaps this Facebook video will provide fodder for more people to call me extreme," the candidate, Scott Jensen, told his viewers. In the 20 minutes that followed, Jensen railed against COVID vaccine mandates for kids, questioned the CDC's vaccination schedule for other childhood immunizations, and raised other vague concerns about COVID vaccines that have been credited with saving hundreds of thousands of lives. "I think in terms of safety, the question is still out there," he said....
