With just weeks left in his final term, U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey played a key role in blocking sweeping anti-money laundering legislation that was created to choke off the billions of dirty dollars pouring into the United States from shady operators, including drug traffickers, oligarchs and corrupt foreign leaders. The outgoing Pennsylvania Republican pushed last week to halt the reforms from being included in the nation’s annual defense spending bill in a blow to advocates who had gained bipartisan support to wage the most comprehensive crackdown on money laundering in a generation. Citing the flow of suspicious money into the...

Look at the recent midterms. Yes, Republicans managed to squeak across the line and take the majority. And yes, Mr. McCarthy did raise a lot of money and distribute it to many needy candidates. Still, it took more than a week after the election for 218 seats to be declared to be in Republican hands. Now Mr. McCarthy has the barest of majorities, a flank absolutely opposed to him and a track record that screams: “Find another candidate!” Democrats are crowing that the overturning of Roe v. Wade gave them a chance to hang on in this election. Others say...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) visited the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday and blamed Republicans for the ongoing crisis there, despite the fact that the ongoing influx is a reaction to President Joe Biden’s policies. Millions of migrants have poured across the border since Biden was elected president, many of them traveling from around the world to take advantage of the Democrats’ deliberately lax policies. Earlier this week, 1,000 migrants crossed the Rio Grande at El Paso in one night, an unprecedented number.

Klepto-Americans are discriminated against by ignorant cis-hetero white capitalists who cling bitterly to their suitcases. In a sad act of kleptophobia that shows how far we still have to go as a society, the Biden administration fired Sam Brinton, the drag queen and kink activist whom it had elevated to the position of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition. “Sam Brinton is no longer a DOE employee. By law, the Department of Energy cannot comment further on personnel matters,” a spokesperson for the department told the Daily Beast. If true, this shows a high degree of ignorance...

Christian conservative rapper Bryson Gray has been permanently banned from Twitter, after previously remarking that Elon Musk's takeover of the platform was generally a good move for free speech.

The reason for the Twitter suspension is not immediately clear, even to Gray; Twitter did not did not reply to a request for comments on the situation. "I think I got banned because I called...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMatthew 18Dealing With Sin in the Church 15 “If your brother or sister[b] sins,[c] go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’[d] 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a...

Rand Paul said that even though Dr. Anthony Fauci is retiring, it does not disqualify him from being investigated or called to testify before Congress in any probe related to COVID-19. The Kentucky GOP senator brought up the prospect after new Twitter CEO Elon Musk called for the prosecution of Fauci in a tweet that poked fun at people declaring their pronouns. 'My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci,' Musk wrote early Sunday morning. Fauci announced in August that he would be stepping down from his post in December 'to pursue the next chapter' of his career. He served as the Centers for...

NATIONAL COCOA DAY December 13th ushers in a celebration worthy of the winter holidays with National Cocoa Day. What better way to warm up after a cold day outside? #NationalCocoaDay We make hot cocoa with cocoa powder, heated milk or water, and sugar.

In another campaign promise as part of his bid to become Speaker of the House, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has vowed to issue subpoenas to all 51 former members of the intelligence community who signed onto an open letter falsely declaring the Hunter Biden laptop story to be “Russian disinformation.” As reported by the New York Post, McCarthy’s pledge came after the latest round of the “Twitter Files” were released by Elon Musk, revealing the true extent of the company’s past efforts to systematically censor conservatives over liberals.

Let’s hope House Republicans can catch a really potent case of the courage Elon Musk is demonstrating in exposing the collusion between Big Tech and the deep state—and soon. The release of the Twitter Files, for the most part, confirms what Donald Trump and his supporters knew in 2020. Big Tech drastically suppressed information damaging to Joe Biden—his son’s overseas financial dealings and the Democratic Party’s plans to ensure Biden’s victory with an unprecedented flood of mail-in ballots—before Election Day. The series of posts by independent journalists Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, and Bari Weiss reveal internal communications between top executives...

The FBI claims the second computer of the slain DNC staffer is not an “actual record.” Oh, really? "The FBI not only has possession of a laptop computer owned by slain Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Seth Rich,” the Epoch Times reports, “but a report detailing forensic imaging of what’s being described as Rich’s work computer.” The revelation came in a three-page forensic report about an “outside entity” working on imaging Rich’s work computer, also a laptop. According to the Epoch Times, that report “was among four documents that had never been disclosed by the FBI in relation to Rich’s...
