The share of the American population identifying as LGBT has doubled over the past decade as Generation Z is more likely than older Americans to identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or something "other" than heterosexual in new Gallup data. A new survey released last Wednesday examines Americans' self-identification with the LGBT community based on responses from more than 10,700 adults in the United States collected in 2022. The overall margin of sampling error is ±1 percentage points. The sampling error among the 584 LGBT adult respondents is ±5 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.The share of Americans who...

VIDEONot only did Project Veritas board member Matt Tyrmand act as the ringleader to backstab James O'Keefe, he also did the same to President Donald Trump. In this video you can see that although Tyrmand was praising Trump in March 2022, he turned around by this February to viciously attack Trump. As a result, that grifter Tyrmand is in the process of being SHUNNED for all eternity by real conservatives. Oh, and don't be surprised to see Tyrmand continue his grift as an MSNBC commentator in the near future.

Professional protester Greta Thunberg helped block the entrance to Norway’s energy ministry Monday to demand freedom for indigenous reindeer herding. “We can’t use the so-called climate transition as a cover for colonialism,” Thunberg told broadcaster TV2 as she blocked the doors of the ministry in Oslo, AFP reports. “A climate transition that violates human rights is not a climate transition worthy of the name and we must therefore stand up against the human rights violations that are happening here,” the Swedish activist said.

This has been simmering in me for a long time. “Celebrate Diversity” is the single greatest poison coursing through the veins of America, and America is dying from it. When I meet someone - anyone- I try to do one thing - find something in common and engage in conversation about that. I find that it usually grows into sharing other common grounds. It could be kids, it could be something in sports, it could be golf, it could be wine, it could be family, it could be cars, hip and knee replacements, or whatever. Soon it becomes easy to...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

The irresistible force is mail-in ballots, nonexistent signature verification, phantom voter rolls, a feckless Republican Party, Republican governors donating tax money to a George Soros–funded entity to clean voter rolls — election commissions changing ZIP codes so mail-in ballots stack up — courts refusing to remove dead people from voter rolls unless they miss two consecutive elections, and a Republican presidential candidate who thinks he can win with ballot-harvesting.What could go wrong in 2024?In 2000, the national realization was that election fraud is industrial-scale, committed by election commissions or with their acquiescence. It is a sovereign crime.The 2020 realization is...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a decree Sunday removing the commander of the military’s Joint Forces Operation (JFO), which is involved in the ongoing counteroffensive in the eastern Donbas region of the country.Zelensky announced Eduard Moskalyov’s dismissal in a one-line decree without any explanation, according to Reuters.

April 13, 1953 was a red letter the day in popular culture. It was when Ian Fleming’s debut novel, Casino Royale, was published, and the world was introduced to James Bond. The success of Casino Royale in the U.K. paved the way for subsequent works by Fleming, featuring Bond. In 1961, President Kennedy named 'From Russia With Love' as one of his top ten favorite books in Life magazine. This endorsement made the book a bestseller in the U.S. Some say it was Kennedy's way of linking himself to Bond and projecting himself as a Bond-like heroic leader taking on...

Prince Harry is set to unpack his experiences with a controversial trauma expert on Saturday, during a virtual event in which attendees can submit questions for the former royal to answer.

Many of you will note that I tried to give the Turtle the benefit of the doubt since he got Trump’s judges confirmed. But since then, his actions against Trump showed his true Swamp colors, complete with their unsavory olfactory component. Which brings us to Kevin McCarthy. Many of us have been uncertain about McCarthy, and for apparent good reason. During his tenure as Minority Leader in the House, he did an excellent imitation of a wheeler and dealer, with little evidence that he had any principles whatever. He acted more as a middleman than someone at the tiller of...

Natural immunity to disease is, or at least was, a well-known concept in medicine. By disease, I mean viral infections. One can’t develop natural immunity to diseases like diabetes or heart failure. Many of us remember “chicken pox parties” where when one kid was infectious, he or she was invited over to play with your kids, so they all got infected and then they did not have to worry about getting chicken pox again, due to natural immunity. The CDC defines it as follows: “Natural immunity is acquired from exposure to the disease organism through infection with the actual disease.”...

Billionaire lunatic George Soros is promoting a risk-filled new technology to fight “climate change.” It will block heat and light from the Sun to cool Earth’s global temperature and repair the solar system. What could go wrong? Soros touted the plan during his address at the Munich Security Conference on Thursday. According to Fox News, Soros claimed he discovered a process where white clouds are created to reflect sunlight away from the planet’s surface. His idea is to use this technology to prevent ice sheets from melting. Otherwise, melting ice sheets could doom human civilization. “Our civilization is in danger...

Actress Christina Applegate attended the 2023 Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, likely the last time she will attend an award show amid her ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis. Applegate, 51, who was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease in 2021, appeared on the red carpet wearing a black gown while standing next to her daughter. She also had a cane with an “FU MS” sticker attached to the side. The “Married With Children” alum said earlier this month that she was done with awards shows after the SAG Awards because she couldn’t imagine putting more energy into...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a “serious public health” alert, warning of a nationwide spike in “extensively drug-resistant” shigellosis. The highly contagious shigella bacterial infection attacks the intestines and causes inflammatory, sometimes bloody diarrhea, according to the CDC’s “emergency and preparedness response.” There are about 450,000 shigellosis infections every year in the US, resulting in an estimated $93 million in direct medical costs, according to CDC data. The agency also reported that 5% of all infections in 2022 were extensively drug-resistant (XDR) — a jump from zero drug-resistant cases in 2015. An infection is considered XDR...

[Catholic Caucus] "The clique of Saint Anselm conducts the war against ancient Mass": Luisella Scrosati(Published at "Daily Compass" of La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana on February 27; source)From secretary Viola to the undersecretaries García Macías and Marcjanowicz, including Ravelli and Midili who lead the pontifical celebrations: they all come from the same Sant'Anselmo University and all only act animated by ideological shortsightedness and blindness to reality. That's who is waging war on the ancient Mass.Any person, even those less intellectually endowed, is capable of understanding that the crusade waged against the ancient rite, from Traditionis Custodes to the recent Rescriptum, is...

(Daily readings from the USCCB)Jesus said to his disciples: “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.” Matthew 25:31–32What an image to ponder! Try to imagine this scene. At one definitive moment in the future, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, now also in human form as the “Son of Man,” will return to earth in glory surrounded...

Getting good sleep can play a role in supporting your heart and overall health—and maybe even how long you live—according to new research.. The study found that young people who have more beneficial sleep habits are incrementally less likely to die early. Moreover, the data suggest that about 8% of deaths from any cause could be attributed to poor sleep patterns. Participants were followed for a median of 4.3 years. Factors included: 1) ideal sleep duration of seven to eight hours a night; 2) difficulty falling asleep no more than two times a week; 3) trouble staying asleep no more...

Tucker Carlson now has the equivalent of nearly five years of surveillance footage captured by U.S. Capitol Police security cameras on January 6, 2021. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) turned over the tapes to the Fox News host earlier this month, according to Axios. Carlson’s producers and researchers are already distilling the footage; the first round of clips is expected to air in a few weeks.While some grumble that McCarthy did not fulfill his promise to publicly release the footage—arguably a valid complaint—Carlson’s team undoubtedly will give the massive trove much-needed context and maximum impact. Carlson released a three-part documentary,...
