I first started writing a blog in 2009, after Barack Obama’s election. My first post, America’s Original Sin, addressed the then-nascent movement to disparage and denigrate America because the Founding Fathers didn’t have the foresight in 1787 to write a constitution that would dovetail with the mores of 21st-century snowflakes. The title of my blog, Imperfect America, is followed by a quote attributed to the French philosopher, Voltaire: “Perfect is the enemy of the good.” Our nation is a billboard-sized testament to that adage. Rarely have we seen perfect, but we frequently see good. And that’s the problem with leftists…...

“The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick,” Joe Biden argued on Thanksgiving. “It has no socially redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers.”s the not-so-small chance that Biden has confused the real-world mechanical designation of “semi-automatic” with the political concoction of “assault weapons.” I’m skeptical. Anyone who’s involved in the gun debate knows that “semi-automatic” guns, often purposely conflated with the more dangerous “automatic” weapons, are the target of restrictionists. A few years back during that shameful post-Parkland CNN gun “town hall,” the crowd loudly...

"I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." "But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it." "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be...

Western European nations are beginning to wake up to the fact that they’re doing much of the sacrificing for the war effort in Ukraine while the United States is reaping all the benefits in terms of natural gas sales and the export of more and more weapons as the war drags on. But with severe food and energy shortages, along with a cold winter, looming, Europeans may decide they don’t want to suffer any more to feed U.S. profiteering. Jimmy talks about dawn breaking across Europe over what the Ukraine War has REALLY been about. ...

On today's Morning Joe, Mika acknowledged that Mike Pence had offered a "full-throated, robust" criticism of Donald Trump for his dinner with Nick Fuentes and Kanye West. But actually praising Pence for his statement? That was just a bridge too far for Mika. Perhaps she feared getting trashed by the left for giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Or even, heaven forbid, turning up in a future Pence for President campaign ad! Check out the screencap. Poor Mika! The thought of praising Pence patently pained her! Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The Islamic Republic of Iran (the Radical Government) tried to turn the win-or-go-home World Cup Match with the United States today into something of a religious battle. How ironic their team was knocked out today by Christian Pulisic, who scored the only goal of the contest by literally sacrificing his body to give the United States a 1-0 lead....

On Monday White House press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre said President Biden’s Thanksgiving Day criticism of semiautomatic firearms was actually meant to be directed toward “assault weapons.” Real Clear Politics noted that their reporter, Philip Wegmann, asked Jean-Pierre about Biden’s comment: The president has said repeatedly that he wants to ban assault weapons, but on Thanksgiving when he was in Nantucket, he said: “The idea that we still allow the purchase of semi-automatic weapons in this country today is sick.” Obviously, that is a huge category of guns from rifles to pistols to shotguns that are not assault weapons. Did the...

Miami Antifa is reportedly planning to counter-protest during an event focused on protecting children from sexualization featuring Moms for Liberty, Florida Fathers for Freedom, and Gays Against Groomers. The “Protect the Children Rally” will take place in Fort Lauderdale on December 3. The event is described as a rally against “radicalized sexual curriculum, gender ideology, child grooming, parental alienation, and ‘gender affirming care.’” “Nearly every single one of us in our organization would have been led to believe we were born in the wrong body if we grew up today, and if our parents bought into the cult, would have...

AMC Networks told its employees Tuesday that it is planning significant layoffs, according to people familiar with the matter and a memo obtained by CNBC. The memo, sent by AMC Networks Chairman James Dolan, came shortly after the company announced that CEO Christina Spade stepped down from her role less than three months after being promoted to the position. The layoffs are expected to happen in the coming days and amount to about 20% of its U.S. staff, said one of the people, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.

President Biden on Tuesday cheered the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team for its win over Iran in the World Cup at an event in Michigan to promote his economic agenda. Biden, who had wrapped up his speech in Bay City and was mingling with attendees, walked back to the microphone to tell the crowd that the U.S. had won, 1-0. “USA! USA! That’s a big game, man,” Biden said. “When I spoke to the coach and the players, I said, ‘You can do this.’ They went ‘eh.’ They did it, God love ’em. Anyway, just thought you might want to...

Turns out those max headroom signs aren't just for show. An Air India plane that was being transported to a new owner got stuck under a bridge near the New Delhi airport. What's more: it was the second time a plane has gotten stuck this way in the capital city in recent years. The Airbus A320 had been taken out of service in 2017 and was being stored at the airport. It had recently been purchased by Pista House, a local company that wanted to open an aviation-themed restaurant. 2 rescued from plane stuck in Maryland power lines But picking...

The group says 52 cars were hit in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of New York City, as were hundreds of others across the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland...

Four Democratic senators are urging Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to reconsider his department’s plans to prepare for the end of Title 42, a major Trump-era policy used to expel certain illegal migrants.Democratic Sens. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, Mark Kelly of Arizona, Jon Tester of Montana and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire argued the Biden administration isn’t prepared for the surge of illegal migrants expected at the border when the policy ends, according to a Nov. 18 letter they sent to Mayorkas.Title 42 — a World War II-era section of public health law that allows for the exclusion of individuals...

On Monday evening, Kanye West, or “Ye,” sat down for an interview with podcaster Tim Pool. West brought Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos along. The interview went viral when Pool disagreed with West’s comments on Jewish people, and West exited the interview without a word. Earlier in the discussion, Pool brought up a story published in The Hill that discussed President Trump’s meeting with West and Nick Fuentes, which has drawn wide criticism.On Monday, former VP Mike Pence said President Trump was “wrong” to meet with Nick Fuentes last week but said he does not believe Trump is an antisemite...

t looks like racism just took two more young black lives — but this is left-wing racism, pushing child-welfare workers not to remove children from dangerous homes on the grounds that the system finds “too many” black parents who pose a threat to their kids. Saturday night, 11-month-old Octavius Canada and his brother DeShawn Fleming, 3, were found dead in their apartment at a Bronx homeless shelter. Their mother, Dimone Fleming, confessed to stabbing them to death, believing they were possessed by demons. Like so many similar tragedies, sources informed The Post that the Administration for Children’s Services probed Fleming...
