“Until Bill Clinton … there had not been coverage of any infidelity on the part of a sitting president in the mainstream press,” says Alison Dagnes, JFK’s affairs stayed out of the press not necessarily because journalists wanted to protect him, but because they just didn’t consider such things to be news.... But despite the fact that no one wrote about it at the time, most Americans are by now aware that JFK slept around. Many even suspect JFK slept with Marilyn Monroe... though there’s still no evidence of that. He did, however, have verifiable affairs with many other known...

A top Ukrainian official on Saturday criticised the 'symbolic blow' of Russia assuming the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council. On Saturday Russia took over the presidency of the UN's top security body, which rotates every month. The last time Moscow held the post was in February 2022, when its troops launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin said on Friday it planned to "exercise all its rights" in the role. The United States on Thursday urged Russia to "conduct itself professionally" when it assumes the role, saying there was no means to block Moscow from the...

(Daily readings from the USCCB)So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we going to do? This man is performing many signs. If we leave him alone, all will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our land and our nation.” John 11:47–48Jesus’ public ministry had two primary effects upon the people. For many, they were coming to believe in Him and were hanging on His every word. They sought Him out and began to understand that He was the promised Messiah. This was the response of faith. But...

The Biden Regime’s approach to governing is to push regulations through the bureaucracy if they prove politically unpopular and then deny all accountability. Joe Biden made it clear from his first day in office that he was going to change America’s energy policy. He canceled the Keystone pipeline and did everything he could to cripple the American energy sector. Now that the world is at peace—with Russia in Ukraine and China about to be in Taiwan—and the United States’ economy is thriving while our southern border is completely secured, the Biden Administration needed a new villain. Fortunately one was readily...

A couple visiting the Bay Area had two different cars broken into in the same area in the same day. Shin Kim, a Berkeley graduate, flew to the Bay Area with his wife earlier this month and wanted to show her around. That all changed when the couple stopped at an In-N-Out Burger near the Oakland airport. "A security guard calls us out asking if the minivan, which was our rental car, was ours," Kim said. "We went out and saw that the three glasses in the back were shattered and all of our luggage was gone." Many of their...

General Thomas Rosser invites Generals George Pickett and Fitzhugh Lee to join him for lunch. By all accounts, the baked shad was excellent, and the gentlemen enjoyed a pleasant afternoon.

Are there going to be food shortages when the greenie electric grid gives out? Green propagandists continue to inflict lethal damage to our electricity industry here in Australia – and it has become unreliable and expensive. City food supplies cannot survive without reliable refrigeration at every level, from farms to retail stores. Thus, unreliable green power supplies will produce unreliable food supplies. Their intrusive green energy infrastructure is also nibbling away at our grasslands and farms, thus reducing their capacity to produce food. Less recognized is the damage green propagandists are doing to our health and our food supply by...

...Speaking to reporters hours after a 28-year-old former student shot and killed six people at a private Christian school, Burchett contended that there were no solutions to the ongoing—and uniquely American—plague of mass shootings. “Three precious little kids lost their lives, and I believe three adults, I believe, and the shooter of course, lost their life too,” he declared. “So, it’s a horrible, horrible situation. And, we’re not gonna fix it.” Burchett continued: “Criminals are gonna be criminals. And my daddy fought in the Second World War, fought in the Pacific, fought the Japanese, and he told me, he said,...

Finnish politics could see a dramatic shift to the far right in elections on Sunday as an anti-immigration party aims to replace "rock star" Prime Minister Sanna Marin's Social Democrats. The mother-of-one, who took office in 2019 as the world's youngest prime minister at age 34, is Finland's most popular prime minister this century, polls show. But the latest polls on Thursday put her centre-left Social Democratic Party (SDP) in third place, behind the anti-immigration and nationalist Finns Party and the centre-right National Coalition, which held on to a thin lead. "It is a very exciting situation and it's hard...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMark 14 The Last Supper12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”13 So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with...

On April Fool's Day this year, transgenders were planning to protest at the Supreme Court. But, citing "warnings of a 'credible threat to life and safety'" (the safety of the venegeance-seekers, apparently),the activist group sponsoring it has called it off. However, consider the flyer for this “Trans Day of Vengeance”: In the flyer shown above, they invoke the emotionally laden word ‘genocide. ” Merriam-Webster defines genocide as the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group. The cruel, twisted, irony not only in the chosen day, but in their use of the word 'genocide.' After all, they...

At a hearing before a House committee on Wednesday, the Environmental Protection Agency's internal watchdog warned lawmakers that the agency's recent surge in funding — part of President Biden's climate policy spending — comes with "a high risk for fraud, waste and abuse." The EPA — whose annual budget for 2023 is just $10 billion — has received roughly $100 billion in new, supplemental funding through two high-dollar pieces of legislation, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act. The two new laws represent the largest investment in the agency's history. Sean O'Donnell, the EPA inspector general,...

"When [Jesus] saw the multitudes, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. And opening His mouth He began to teach them" (Matt. 5:1-2). Only Christians know true happiness because they know Christ, who is its source. Jesus' earthly ministry included teaching, preaching, and healing. Wherever He went He generated great excitement and controversy. Usually great multitudes of people followed Him as He moved throughout the regions of Judea and Galilee. Thousands came for healing, many came to mock and scorn, and some came in search of truth. On one such occasion...

Wimes ruled the Missouri Second Amendment Protection Act was unconstitutional, claiming the Act violates the Supremacy clause of the US Constitution, invalidates federal law, and violates the doctrine of “intergovernmental immunity”.

The act prohibits state and local officers from cooperating with Federal agents to enforce certain federal laws, mostly to do with firearms.The Federal court system has long held states cannot be compelled to use their resources to enforce federal laws. States are not required to explain why...

It's been 'dumped' out there that Joe Biden wears diapers all the time. I don't know the true story but let's assume it is true that Joe wears "Depends" or whatever. For starters I would say Biden's diapers have US Constitution and Bill of Rights printed on the inside. Biden dumps on them all the time his Banana Republic prosecuting Trump and arresting people on flimsy grounds like the Pro-Life activist Mark Houck found not guilty by a federal court jury. The internet censorship revealed by the Twitter Files the SOP of the Biden Administration with the journalist Matt Taibbi...
