Bill Barr is inserting himself into politics again. And he's doing it in the best way to get fawning media coverage — sniping at his former boss, President Donald J. Trump. Barr issued a statement about Trump: He does not have the ability for strategic thinking and linear thinking or setting priorities or how to get things done in the system. He will deliver chaos, and if anything lead to a backlash that will set his policies much further back than they otherwise would be. The doctor's diagnosis is that Trump lacks the temperament or wisdom to deliver on his...

The $48 billion Ukraine aid package that Congress approved in December has about $6 billion left, meaning U.S. funding for weapons and supplies could dry up by midsummer. That’s raising fresh concerns among lawmakers about what the White House is planning next, including when the administration will ask for another major package and whether it will be enough.Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), a senior appropriator, indicated the appropriations process would likely be the next time Congress would provide funding unless the situation changed substantially on the ground.“I think you'll see it in appropriations,” Murkowski said in an interview. “It's not making...

On a site in modern-day Israel, academics believe they’ve found the oldest Hebrew text ever discovered, with an apparent link to a scene described in the Old Testament. The text is described as a “curse tablet” — with an inscription one might expect to find in some of the darker passages of the Old Testament. “You are cursed by the God YHW,” the text reads — using the sacred Hebrew name for God. “You will die cursed—cursed you will surely die. Cursed you are by yhw-cursed,” the tablet reads, according to the Jewish News Syndicate. *** Reference: https://www.jewishpress.com/news/archaeology-news/scholars-expound-on-mount-ebal-curse-tablet-with-oldest-hebrew-text/2023/05/12/

There will be a gun “turn in event” on Saturday, May 13, 2023, in Spartanburg, South Carolina. These events are commonly labeled with the Orwellian term “buyback”.

As the presidential primary season commences, many career politicians, “experts,” and news outlets have already made one thing abundantly clear. “While Donald Trump might win the nomination, he has no path to win the general election” they say, or something to that affect. Some suggest that even Trump and his supporters secretly know this. *snip* As the presidential primary season commences, many career politicians, “experts,” and news outlets have already made one thing abundantly clear. “While Donald Trump might win the nomination, he has no path to win the general election” they say, or something to that affect.

Federal prosecutors last week announced the indictment of U.S. Representative George Santos (R-N.Y.) on a host of charges, including misuse of federal campaign funds and wire fraud, almost all of them resulting from his pathological lies. Certainly, Santos deserved the attention of prosecutors for lying on federal documents and affidavits that may have helped him win a congressional seat as well as personal lucre. But if that’s the case, why haven’t federal prosecutors also gone after Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)? She clearly lied her way into a Harvard Law School professorship and an erstwhile presidential candidacy by claiming, in part,...

While millions of Americans were busy celebrating Mom on Sunday, taking her out to dinner and showering her with flower bouquets and macaroni picture frames, at least one person over on social media was lamenting the fact that he – she? It? – was left feeling rather unspecial. Because after all, when it comes to the trans community, it is all about making them feel included, even to the point of inconveniencing or outright excluding everyone else. “There’s two different days in the year that I question,” a biological man with green hair and a baritone voice says in a...

Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R-AR) said Monday on FNC’s “Your World” that former President Donald Trump will use special counsel John Durham’s probe to “undermine all of law enforcement.” Anchor Neil Cavuto said, “This comes at a time when the former president himself was hoping that the Durham report would turn the world upside down so to speak. As damning as it is, outside of a low-level ranking FBI agent cited for lying, that’s it. That is the whole kit and caboodle right there.” He added, “The problem is what we’ll see is that Donald Trump will...

In his two books, “The Occult Underground: The Dawn of the New Age” and “The Occult Establishment,” historian James Webb chronicles the rise of an occult intelligentsia as it emerged out of the Renaissance. Webb sees the Renaissance as a spiritually traumatic time in which the spiritual roots of many people were shaken free of Christianity. As a result, they eagerly embraced the pantheistic /materialistic occult traditions — Hermeticism, Theosophy, Buddhism, esoteric Cabbalism, alchemy, neo-Platonism, Gnosticism, and spiritism — sweeping into Christendom at that time. His book, “The Occult Underground” was originally called “The Flight from Reason” because Western man...

San Francisco's DA has released graphic footage of a Walgreens security guard shooting dead a transgender shoplifter - and said she will not charge him because he was in 'mortal danger'.
