San Francisco Democrats have been called 'mean girls' after they banned a lesbian Asian from setting up a liberal club in the city. Cyn Wang, who worked for the Obama Administration, attempted to set up a group called the Westside Family Democratic Club, but was stopped because the title contained the word 'family' and for backing a recall of a woke school board. The Chinese immigrant has long been a Democrat, and on paper looks like the perfect candidate to represent a liberal group. Wang voted for Biden in 2020, labeled herself an intersectional feminist, and denounced the Republican Party...

The twelve apostles included "Simon, who is called Peter" (Matt. 10:2). God can use your natural abilities as a basis for your spiritual service. Peter is a good illustration of how God builds a spiritual leader. He begins with a person's natural traits and works from there. Natural traits alone don't make a spiritual leader—the person must also be gifted and called by the Holy Spirit to lead in the church and be a model of spiritual virtue. But often God endows future leaders with natural abilities that constitute the raw materials from which He builds spiritual ministries. That was...

The White House released new requirements Friday outlining which journalists are allowed in the briefing room and presidential events, and warning about unprofessional behavior. The new rules require journalists to submit a letter to gain access to the White House grounds with information about their employment, mandating that reporters work for “an organization whose principal business is news dissemination.” The rule change comes as the administration has been facing repeated outbursts in the briefing room from reporters like Simon Ateba, and comes days after World Press Freedom Day. Journalists have called out White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for not...

We now know that there were two Holocausts, one for men and another for women. Women suffered everything men did, with the addition of sexual violence. “Almost every Jewish woman who went through the Holocaust was to some degree at least sexually humiliated, going all the way to rape,” said Rochelle G. Saidel, founder and executive director of the Remember the Women Institute. Even as they liberated the concentration camps at the end of World War II, Soviet soldiers sexually assaulted Jewish women survivors they found. In one instance, two young Jewish girls locked themselves into a lavatory to escape...

Protesters jump onto subway tracks, clash with NYPD over Jordan Neely’s death At least seven people were arrested in Manhattan Saturday after shutting down subway service and clashing with NYPD officers while protesting the chokehold death of homeless man Jordan Neely, law enforcement sources told The Post. Dozens of demonstrators jumped onto the subway tracks at Lexington Avenue and East 63rd Street around 6:15 p.m., forcing an oncoming Q train to slam on the brakes at the mouth of the tunnel, video shows. “No justice, no peace!” the protesters chanted as police can be heard struggling to call for order...

The Big Banking, Big Business, Big Government forces are trying to manage this world they see themselves as the "Moderate" forces of "Stability"... When Stevie Wonder made that song back in the 1970's "Sir Duke" about those jazzy Big Band Era music stars I was a few notes short... I was a Religious Drunk when I was a teenager by that I mean my ego had me going with the notion that my "sinners prayer" cleaned me up while every one else was dirty...

Several things about the George Floyd's death have bothered me,

While the eyes of the nation are on San Francisco’s proposal to pay every black person $5 million in reparations for an estimated total cost of $175 billion, Motor City won’t be left behind. Last year, 80% of Detroit voters in a 78% black city cast their ballots in support of a reparations commission. That was much higher than 63% poll numbers but local election results tend to outperform the polls due to the civic work of the Wayne County Cemetery Voters Association. Chairwoman Lauren Hood of the Detroit City Planning Commission said that she didn’t know who the 20%...

A communist hack named Deb Haalan who works for fake president Joe Biden as his Secretary of the Interior believes that depriving Americans of job opportunities and plunging the country into poverty and economic collapse is a good thing because it aligns with the Biden regime’s climate change goals.Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) recently grilled Haalan on the matter, probing her for some kind of logical answer as to why the Biden regime is killing off the American economy and how this can possibly be good for the American people, the vast majority of whom did notvote for this kind of...

Since Biden is little more than a front man for a highly motivated team of political operatives led by former President Barack Obama or the diabolic WEF Klaus Schwab or some equally malevolent dark political entity, the country has been seized by the totalitarian clique as his administration targets the First Amendment as if free speech is tyrannical permitting government to criminalize political dissent. At the same time, the Biden Administration has allowed an invasion of titanic proportions at the southern border as UN-funded NGO’s threaten US sovereignty with an expected infiltration of up to one million illegal immigrants awaiting...

Though our so-called enlightened society would like to deny it, the evil intentions of a sinful heart and soul are responsible for wicked behavior. “From their callous hearts comes iniquity” (Psalm 73:7). Since the fall of mankind in the garden, sin has plagued the human race, every person of every generation. We are born separated and alienated from a holy God who hates every form of evil. We are sinners who have fallen far short of the glory of God.

Oops! Did Someone Forget to Save a Seat for Jill Biden at King Charles' Coronation? Well, well, well, looks like First Lady Jill Biden had a bit of a giggle-inducing seating arrangement at King Charles' coronation on May 6. While her hubby, President Joe Biden, couldn't make it for reasons unknown, Jill headed to Westminster Abbey to witness the royal affair. However, it seems like the organizers weren't exactly rolling out the red carpet for her as they stuck her all the way in the back. Oh boy, you can just feel the love and respect pouring in, can't you?...

The agents have been inside talking to his family. They have also asked for a translator.

Acute radiation dermatitis (ARD)—characterized by red, sore, itchy or peeling skin—affects up to 95% of people undergoing radiation treatment for cancer. Researchers have found that many cases of ARD involve a common skin bacterium and that a simple, low-cost treatment can prevent severe cases. "Until now, ARD was assumed to result simply from the skin being burned by the radiation," said Beth N. McLellan, M.D. Staphylococcus aureus (SA) bacteria, often shortened to "staph," typically live harmlessly on the skin. But they can cause infections if the skin is broken by a cut. Courses of radiation therapy increase the risk for...

A corruption-tainted London mansion that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration had targeted for confiscation now belongs to Nigeria's president-elect Bola Tinubu's son through an offshore shell company, which is also linked to the politician's surrogates. The property was being investigated by the Nigerian government as part of a corruption probe involving its former owner, Kolawole Aluko, who was accused of evading an oil-trading debt worth over U.S.$1.5 billion. Bloomberg reported that Oluwaseyi Tinubu is listed as the main shareholder of the company that purchased the property. Tinubu uses the property for his stay in London and photos from there became...

Rick is an interesting study - if you know anything about him. Ace pitcher that threw 5 WP's in an inning in a playoff game. Never recovered - as a pitcher. Reinvented himself as an outfielder and returned to the ML's to make throws like this. He also hit some prodigious HR's - even in playoff situations.

On this date in 1795, the attorney who had engineered the Terror was guillotined for engineering the Terror. Antoine Quentin Fouquier de Tinville (English Wikipedia page | French), or just plain Fouquier-Tinville, had emerged during the Revolution from penurious obscurity to wrangle a jury foreman’s position courtesy of his connection to Camille Desmoulins. When Desmoulins ally Georges Danton spearheaded creation of a Revolutionary Tribunal (French link), Fouquier-Tinville drew the choice gig of Public Prosecutor. From that perch, he would supply the arbitrary exercises of the Committee of Public Safety their (increasingly scanty) scaffolding of formal legality in Paris’s greatest show...

Aliko Dangote is the richest man in Africa and the richest Black man in the whole wide world. Born in Kano, Nigeria on the 10th day of April in the year 1997 to Mohammed Dangote and Mariya Sanusi Dantata, you can say Aliko Dangote was born and raised in money considering the fact that he is the great-grandson of a one-time richest man in west Africa, Alhaji Alhassan Dantata who traded in kola and ground nuts. Unfortunately, Aliko’s father died when Aliko was eight years old. I Just Can’t Wait To Be King The Richest reports he was nurtured and...

The whole world is commenting on and speculating about the abrupt departure of former Fox commentator Tucker Carlson from that network. Addressing the current moment is not my intent. I have no idea what the “inside story” is on the events related to Fox’s or Carlson’s decisions. Mr. Carlson is wisely being deliberative regarding his physical presence and his messaging, and by next week the news cycle will have no doubt shifted in relation to this sudden exile, or self-exile; so there is little point in adding my own theories to the events of the present. I suspect, however, that...
