While mass murderers are as likely to be mentally deranged environmentalists as they are to be Muslims (most do not show political affiliation), some have made clear they favored keeping guns from the general public. It is the ultimate in logic-defying irrationality of those who promote disarmament. They want to murder as many people as possible to show how easy it is to murder many people.From the Daily Mail:[the mass murderer] made three key points in the manifesto, which is in the hands of the police: he wanted to kill himself, he wanted to prove how easy it was to...

[snip] Wilson began by attacking DeSantis's personality, claiming that he "doesn't like humans, has to pretend to be human." He insisted DeSantis has a "mean streak." Yes, Rick Wilson said that, without any introspection about his own behavior.In contrast, despite being sure to get on record that he dislikes everything about Trump, Wilson argued Trump does have "charisma" and "energy." In a particularly gruesome metaphor, Wilson then predicted that in a debate, Trump would "tear Ron DeSantis's head off and kick it around like a soccer ball."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

During Saturday’s Illinois Republican State Central Committee (SSC) meeting in Edwardsville, Larry Smith and Rhonda Belford were the deciding votes, during a Motion of No-Confidence, that saved Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy’s job – at least for now, in a blow to the grassroots movement that’s sweeping across the state. The meeting, which was held at the Holiday Inn & Suites, was set up by Tracy to deliberately silence the voices of the grassroots during the public comment section of the meeting by limiting the number of conservative activists who could speak. In an email obtained by Illinois Review,...

France pledged additional military aid for Ukraine on Sunday, including light tanks, armored vehicles, training for soldiers and other assistance as the Ukrainians gear up for a counteroffensive against Russian forces, following surprise talks in Paris between the Ukrainian and French presidents. Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy and France’s Emmanuel Macron met for about three hours at the French presidential Elysee Palace — an encounter kept under wraps until shortly before the Ukrainian leader’s arrival in Paris from Germany on a French government jet, extending his multi-stop European tour. With Ukraine planning to go on the offensive hoping to retake Russian-occupied territory,...

In late January, with his mercenary forces dying by the thousands in a fight for the ruined city of Bakhmut, Wagner Group owner Yevgeniy Prigozhin made Ukraine an extraordinary offer. Prigozhin said that if Ukraine’s commanders withdrew their soldiers from the area around Bakhmut, he would give Kyiv information on Russian troop positions, which Ukraine could use to attack them. Prigozhin conveyed the proposal to his contacts in Ukraine’s military intelligence directorate, with whom he has maintained secret communications during the course of the war, according to previously unreported U.S. intelligence documents leaked on the group-chat platform Discord.

What Morris is saying is that if Russia doesn't end up owning Country 404, Blackrock will Or maybe Blackrock wants the "rump ukraine state left over after Russia takes the ethnically Russian areas... There is actually a man in Moscow who figures to have something to say about who owns country 404... What has Morris miffed is that the 100B - 200B already sunk into that lunatiuc venture has been provided by the American taxpayer, and not Blackrock... In my view, ordinaqry hohos would be better off being owned by Russia than by Blackrock, Russians are at least Christians.

Lady Gregory was born on this date, 15 May, 171 years ago, in 1852, in County Galway, Ireland. Wikipedia reports that study of her grandfather-in-law’s letters lead to a shift in her politics “from the “soft” Unionism of her earlier writing on Home Rule to a definite support of Irish nationalism and Republicanism, and to what she was later to describe as “a dislike and distrust of England”.” Lady Gregory took her motto from Aristotle: “To think like a wise man, but to express oneself like the common people.” Here are some examples of her quality thought: “I’ll take no...

More than half of the job candidates seeking to become U.S. border patrol agents are failing the Homeland Security Department’s polygraph, though many passed such tests in other jobs, a pattern that is alarming some in Congress and leading a prominent union to suggest something sinister is happening. Brandon Judd, president of National Border Patrol Council union, told Just the News that half to two-thirds of applicants continue to fail the lie detector test, and it is crippling the Customers and Border Protection (CBP) agency’s ability to keep staffed with the ongoing border crisis. "They're failing an awful lot of...

Former US President Donald Trump has said he’ll bring back his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, if he wins another four years in the White House in 2024, The Hill reported on Sunday. “I will say, General Flynn, he’s some general. He’s some man. He took abuse like nobody could have handled, and he came out bigger, better, stronger than ever before,” Trump was quoted as having said via phone to the “ReAwaken America” rally. “He’s a leader, and you just stay wealthy and healthy and well, and everything. I want you to have great lives and, General, you...

[Catholic Caucus] “What is ‘indietrism’ backwardness) anyway?”—Michael Charlier Just in case you live on an island of the blessed and haven't figured out what "indietrism" is yet: it's supposed to mean something like backwardness or restorationism. With this expression, invented by himself, our holy stepfather refers to all Catholics who adhere to the Apostolic Tradition and ecclesiastical tradition even where it does not fit into his Jesuit frame -- and that is quite a lot of it.So if you, dear reader, are not visiting this website for the first time, but -- alone or with others, several times or even...

You can have all the facts on your side and still lose an argument. How? Because the other side is not bound by facts, they’re arguing emotion, and emotion always overrides facts. It sounds stupid, it is stupid, but it’s also true. Think about the things you’ve apologized for in your life – I’d give you odds it was for things you said in the heat of the moment, not after thinking about the situation in a cool, rational way. That emotion factor is a big part of why Republicans always seem to get rolled when it comes to policy...
