One of the most serious problems we have in society today is the grooming of children by the LGBTQIA movement. It's in our schools, our libraries, popular culture. All the places where they can target and manipulate our kids. What resources do we have as parents to counter this? Firm and clear parenting is first and foremost of course. But are there organizations that are out there for parents to turn to? Focus on the Family comes to mind. What websites can provide guidance? Matt Walsh produced "What is a Woman?" for the Daily Wire. Perhaps that could be useful...

U.S. — A dispute regarding the nature of vaccination has arisen among faithful followers of The Science, and of Fauci its prophet. According to sources, some progressives say that the sacrament of vaccination is the literal body of Fauci, while others believe it is only symbolic. "The mRNA juice we inject into our bodies to cover our COVID becomes the literal body of our Blessed Lord Fauci through a process called tranvaxstantiation," said progressive scholar Banz Tinkleman (he/him). "Whether it be Pfizer or Moderna, we can have faith that the real presence of Fauci is within the vax itself. To...

-snip- While Xi and Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, pledged last month to deepen bilateral ties, several Chinese officials in private conversations with the Financial Times strove to put clear daylight between Beijing and Moscow on the issue of Ukraine — a message that has been repeated to some European diplomats. Some are scathing. “Putin is crazy,” says one Chinese official, who declined to be identified. “The invasion decision was made by a very small group of people. China shouldn’t simply follow Russia.” The starting point for Xi’s diplomatic reset is a re-evaluation in Beijing about the benefits of its close...

Over the years, the position of school counselor has received its fair share of mockery. From Mr. Frond of “Bob’s Burgers” to most people having at best a fleeting memory of having to schlump to the counselor’s office in high school so she could figure out how to limit the amount of pot you smoked so you could at least have a prayer of faking your way into college, the position of school counselor has always been subject to a certain dismissive disdain.

Earth’s protective ozone layer is slowly but noticeably healing at a pace that would fully mend the hole over Antarctica in about 43 years, a new United Nations report says. A once-every-four-years scientific assessment found recovery in progress, more than 35 years after every nation in the world agreed to stop producing chemicals that chomp on the layer of ozone in Earth’s atmosphere that shields the planet from harmful radiation linked to skin cancer, cataracts and crop damage. […] The progress is slow, according to the report presented Monday at the American Meteorological Society convention in Denver. The global average...

Both President Biden and Congress have sent tens of billions of our tax dollars in the form of weapons, ammunition, and cash to Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky to help save his regime from Russian invaders. While support for these outlays has come from both Democrats and Republicans, no clear benefit to our country can be detected. Ostensibly, the claim is that we are trying to save Ukraine's democracy. But is Ukraine really a democracy? In the past week, Zelensky signed legislation that allows the Ukrainian government to censor news sites, control the flow of information to the Ukrainian people, and...

Many of us know the names: Sandra Bland, Daunte Wright, Philando Castile, Walter Scott, Sam DuBose. They are just a few of the hundreds of Americans across the country who have been killed by police during a traffic stop. In many of these cases, police had stopped the victim using a practice called “pretext stops” — pulling someone over for a minor traffic or equipment violation and then using that stop to conduct an unrelated speculative criminal investigation, not for the purpose of enforcing the traffic code.

As we are painfully aware, inflation is still high at 7.1% Year-over-year (YoY). To cope with inflation, consumers have been gutting their savings and increasing their use of credit. In November, consumer credit increased 7.9% YoY while personal savings fell -64.8% YoY. The good news? Inflation month-over-month is expected to be 0% tomorrow. So, inflation will be gone in November?

A former youth pastor of a Denton megachurch who was convicted of sex trafficking minors across state lines is set to be released early from federal prison next month and reside in Denton again. Robert Shiflet was a youth pastor at Denton Bible Church who pleaded guilty in 2020 to two charges of transportation of a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity in connection with incidents dating back to the 1990s. He had been indicted on three charges of transportation of a minor and one of coercion. Shiflet was convicted in June 2021, and an Arkansas district court sentenced...

@katieporteroc California needs a warrior in the Senate—to stand up to special interests, fight the dangerous imbalance in our economy, and hold so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell accountable for rigging our democracy. Today, I'm proud to announce my candidacy for the U.S. Senate in 2024.

Washington (AFP) – Major hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, drought and a fierce winter storm caused more than $165 billion in damage in the United States last year with climate change "supercharging" some extreme weather, a US government report said Tuesday. NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) said in a year-end report that 2022 tied 2017 and 2011 for the most billion-dollar disasters in a calendar year, behind the 22 and 20 separate billion-dollar events of 2020 and 2021. The increasing number of extreme events "hints that the extremely high activity of recent years is becoming the new normal," the NCEI...

“Really?” Poppy Harlow exclaimed. Yes, really. Theoretically, the Department of Justice could still charge Donald Trump over his alleged criminal violations in keeping classified documents.In reality, though, Merrick Garland would have to explain why he’s not charging Joe Biden for the same crimes, as CNN legal analyst John Miller explains. They may not be the same situation, but it’s close enough to make it awkward:DON LEMON: I said that last night, it puts Merrick Garland in a very odd position. Did they know this was coming? This was November? I said, well, you know, look, I’m just asking here. Maybe...

Came across this by accident. This Joseph Kosuth is an American ex-pat world-renowned "concept artist" whose works typically are comprised of electronically reproduced illuminated text projected across an art gallery's wall. His works are in every major public museum collection in the U.S. and abroad. Historically, visual artists have been vehemently "apolitical". Much like philosophers. However, this charlatan has the audacity to exhort YouTube viewers to "Vote for Biden!!!" and get rid of the "nonsense" in the White House". Recorded in October of 2020, just before the stolen election. Predictably, You Tube/Google has disabled all of the comments to the...

Afederal judge ruled Monday that part of New Jersey’s concealed carry gun law, which dictates where a concealed firearm can be carried, is unconstitutional. District Judge Renée Marie Bumb placed a temporary restraining order on the law’s “sensitive places” restrictions, saying they violate the Second Amendment rights of New Jersey residents, according to the ruling. Bumb based her ruling on the belief that the state did not have the “historical tradition” of regulating where a concealed carry permit can be used. “Plaintiffs have shown that Defendants will not be able to demonstrate a history of firearm regulation to support any...

According to a recent study, Russian disinformation and misinformation campaigns on social media had little influence on voters during the 2016 election. Discussing Russia’s alleged influence on the election, a longtime leftist narrative, one of the report’s authors said, “My personal sense coming out of this is that this got way overhyped.” The Washington Post reports that a new study by the New York University Center for Social Media and Politics found that Russian influence operations on Twitter during the 2016 presidential election did not significantly impact voter behavior or attitudes.

The former assistant pastor of a rural Minnesota church will spend about a month in jail after pleading guilty to molesting a girl in his youth group. Sean Patrick Masopust, 33, was sentenced Thursday to 30 days’ confinement and 10 years of probation after pleading guilty to criminal sexual conduct, a fourth-degree felony, according to Minnesota court records. Masopust will be allowed to attend sex offender programming and is eligible for work release, his court record shows. If he does not successfully complete probation, he could go back to jail for 18 months. Meanwhile, the survivor of Masopust’s crime is...

Lynette 'Diamond' Hardaway, half of the pro-Donald Trump vlogging duo Diamond and Silk, has passed away at her home in North Carolina. A post on the pair's Twitter account stated that a memorial ceremony will be held at a later date and asked for privacy for her family. 'The World just lost a True Angel and Warrior Patriot for Freedom, Love, and Humanity!' their Twitter account stated. Former President Trump also shared the news on his Truth Social platform, stating that her death was sudden and that she was with her sister, Rochelle 'Silk' Richardson, at the time. Really bad...
