The Heartland Institute's distribution of its book "Climate at a Glance for Teachers and Students" to 8,000 school teachers was slammed by Susan Hassol, director of the Climate Communication group, for "encouraging students to be skeptical regarding claims made by those of us trying to save the planet from climate change. We have labored hard to establish the belief that we must take drastic actions now to avert disaster." Hassol emphasized that "the kind of independent thought Heartland is fomenting infects our youngsters with a potentially fatal disbelief in our cause. Their 'keep an open mind' and 'demand evidence' memes...

“There is no more dire threat to the American way of life than the corruption and weaponization of our justice system. And it’s happening all around us. If we cannot restore the fair and impartial rule of law, we will not be a free country. As President, it will be my personal mission to restore the scales of justice in America. We want fairness and equality under the law. And to that end, I will appoint US attorneys, who will be the polar opposite of the Soros, district attorneys and others that are being appointed throughout the United States, very...

Points made by Goodman: Trump and RFK Jr. on the same ticket is "probably not likely" but, 1. RFK Jr., based on articles he has authored, and Trump have similar foreign policy views. For example, they both oppose "never-ending military conflicts". 2. Many Trump supporters will gravitate towards RFK Jr. because of his anti-covid vax viewpoints. 3. Trump and RFK Jr. both speak their minds and aren't afraid of the media. 4. RFK's economic policies are similar to Trumps, based on his interviews and writings. Under Trump we had record high household income and record low poverty, which RFK Jr....

The stone shows two people playing a Mesoamerican ball gameImage: Lorenzo Hernandez/REUTERS The piece displays Mayan hieroglyphic writing surrounding two players standing next to a ball. The Pok Ta Pok ball game was a traditional practice of Mesoamerican peoples.

In a recent post on his blog, Seymour Hersh writes that Ukrainian President Zelensky embezzled $400 million from the US that was allocated to Ukraine for fuel. This isn’t the first time that we have heard about corruption in Ukraine. In 2019 The Gateway Pundit reported on Ukrainian businessman Igor Kolomoisky, who controlled Ukraine’s largest commercial bank, Privat Bank. This bank was said to control Burisma, the oil and gas company that gave Hunter Biden millions. John Kerry was involved in Burisma as well. There were reports that Kolmiosky somehow lost $1.8 billion of the bank’s money. It was suspected...

I’ve already covered how small business bankruptcies are at record highs and manufacturing is at a three year low [link in article]. To those woes add a severe credit crunch. How severe? How about $105 billion drop in loans in just two weeks. “This credit crunch greatly increases the chances that America is going to have a deflationary recession or depression at some point in 2023. And, in fact, we could already be in it.” Ya think? “We’re going to see the unemployment rate start to spike in America in the second half of 2023, In fact, we’re already seeing...

Former White House stenographer Mike McCormick joined Jesse Watters on FOX News to discuss a trip Joe Biden made to Ukraine in 2014 while he was vice president. Biden reportedly visited Ukraine to boost the country’s energy industry shortly after Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma. McCormick claims the trip Joe Biden made was to promote a “kickback scheme.” The former White House stenographer said he went back to review the transcript from the briefing on that trip after he came across the Hunter Biden laptop.

Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell has been out of the public eye for weeks, following a serious fall that hospitalized him. Now multiple sources confirm that Senators John Barrasso of North Dakota, John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota are actively reaching out to fellow Republican senators in efforts to prepare for an anticipated leadership vote — a vote that would occur upon announcement that McConnell would be retiring from his duties as leader, and presumably the Senate itself. One source says that Cornyn has been particularly active in his preparations, taking fellow senators with whom he...

It was 9:00 am in the city of Slavyansk in eastern Ukraine, on 12 April 2014. A group of 52 armed men, about 80% of them Ukrainian citizens, stormed the city’s Interior Ministry building. The government policemen in the building opened fire on the armed men, but quickly surrendered to the larger force after they fired automatic weapons into the building. The armed men, led by the shadowy Russian Colonel Igor Strelkov, tore down the building’s Ukrainian blue and yellow flag. They raised the Russian white, blue, and red tricolor. Strelkov and his men formed the nucleus of a rebellion...

I keep hearing about the fentanyl crisis, and now fentanyl being laced with xylazine. But today, I actually heard on the radio that there is nothing they can do about xylazine, which is why it is so deadly. The sad thing is that that information is 100% INCORRECT. Xylazine has TWO very effective reversal agents that Veterinarians use in practice frequently and effectively. A mixed product containing Narcan and yohimbine-or-tolazine would reverse BOTH elements in a fentanyl/xyalzine overdose. I spoke to local authorities, and they were not familiar at all with yohimbine/tolazine for the reversal of xyalzine. I am now...

A Jack Daniel’s fan has accused the whiskey company of going “woke” due to its ad campaign featuring drag queens. “For those of you who know me well my drink has always been Jack Daniels. For over 150 years since 1866 this drink was always associated with cowboys, warriors, bikers, savage rock bands and all American bad ass people,” Pauly Michaelis wrote in a social media post Friday. “THEY WENT WOKE,” Michaelis continued. He added a middle-finger emoji and stated that Jasper Newton, the founder of Jack Daniel’s, was “turning over in his grave.” “THEY took a classic tradition of...

American middle-class families, who are most likely to serve in the military and pay an overwhelming percentage of their income in federal taxes, are not benefiting from the policies of the Biden administration, a recent Monmouth University poll revealed. Only 10 percent of Americans believe the middle class has benefited a lot, while 51 percent say the middle class has not benefited at all. The numbers have only deteriorated under President Joe Biden’s leadership. “In the first months of his term, more said the middle class benefited a lot (19% in June 2021) and fewer said not at all (36%),”...
