Every taxpayer who dutifully hands over their hard-earned cash every year to the government should be enraged by IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley’s testimony about how senior leaders at the DOJ, the FBI and the IRS sabotaged the five-year investigation into Hunter Biden and allowed him to walk away with a laughably lenient plea deal and unpaid taxes. Shapley is a hero, as is the second IRS whistleblower who came forward to the House Ways and Means Committee over the last month to tell the truth about an egregious abuse of power at the highest level of the federal government to...

The U.S. Department of Transportation announced Monday it is releasing some $1.7 billion in grants to fund new electric and low-emission buses across the country. The taxpayer dollars come from the 2021 infrastructure bill signed into law by President Joe Biden, AP reports, with the money going to transit projects in 46 states and territories. “Every day, millions of Americans climb aboard over 60,000 buses to get to work, to school, doctor’s appointments, everywhere they need to be,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a call with reporters. “These are unprecedented levels of investment when it comes to putting modern...

Why are so many major companies going woke and stiffing shareholders? Because their biggest shareholders are massive funds that push wokeness under the guise of formulas like ESG. (snip) Fink’s latest dispatch deemphasizes ESG investing — increasingly a politically fraught topic — compared to his most recent annual letters. In fact, the term ESG does not appear anywhere in the letter.The energy transition concerns are not raised until paragraph 18, and the word “climate” doesn’t appear until the eighth page of the lengthy letter. Even when it does, climate is only used five times.

When the current occupant of the White House openly asserts that white supremacy is the greatest threat to America, it shows that demonizing whites is now an acceptable part of American life. Conservative writer Ed Brodow dubs this phenomenon the “new national sport” in the subtitle of his book The War on Whites. In a Townhall article, he says hating whites is a disease of epidemic proportions that must be called out for what it is – racism. He explains how, in the woke-perverted world of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), white people – by dint of pigment alone –...

Make no mistake, the mounting evidence of bribery surrounding President Joe Biden and his family can only be buried one way: an admission of his major cognitive decline, necessitating his dropping out of the 2024 race. The only factors keeping him in the White House are the need to keep up the charade (else Biden prematurely become a lame duck), the fear of Vice President Kamala Harris’ utter lack of qualification or disposition for the job of president, and the desire of Biden’s staff to extract every last drop of grift — like ticks burrowed into presidential power. When Biden’s...

"What use is it, my brethren, if a man says he has faith, but he has no works? Can that faith save him? . . . You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone" (James 2:14, 24). True faith produces good works. Many false teachers claim that you can earn your own salvation by doing good works. Most Christians understand the heresy of that teaching, but some become confused when they read that "a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone" (James 2:24). That seems to conflict with Paul's teaching on...

After having ruled pistol braces to be legal accessories for a decade, the ATF has issued a rule many, if not most pistol braces, will be considered contraband, which makes a pistol into a short-barreled rifle. Under the theory of “constructive possession”, possession of a banned pistol brace and a pistol the brace will fit could be enough for arrest and conviction of possession of a short-barreled rifle, with penalties of up to a $10,000 fine and or up to ten years in prison. Under the Supreme Court decision United States v. Thompson/Center Arms Co., the possession of parts that...

What the Left now fears most is the revolutionary model it has bequeathed to America—and what might happen if its monstrous creation falls into politically incorrect hands. The present-day Left bears little resemblance to the old civil-libertarian, integrationist Democratic Party that existed from the 1960s through 2000. The antecedents to its current madness were once previewed in the old party’s extremist wing of campus radicals of the 1960s and 1970s. They were accentuated by Black Lives Matter and Antifa during the Obama years, forged during the COVID lockdown and George Floyd riots, and polished during the era of Trump derangement...

Regime change in Russia has been a key objective of the globalist wing of American foreign policy since the 2014 Maidan coup, executed under the instructions of then-assistant secretary of state Victoria Nuland, now the US State Department’s undersecretary for policy. President Joe Biden embraced the demand for regime change on March 26, 2022, declaring that Putin “cannot remain in power” after the February 24 invasion of Ukraine. The Wagner Group mutiny over this weekend elicited a storm of editorial and social media comments to the effect that the Russian president might be deposed after all. After Wagner boss Yevgeny...

We are at the most dangerous moment in war as Russian President Putin warns the West. Putin told NATO leaders to avoid trying to take advantage of the failed coup attempt that unfolded over the past few hours. Of course, the collective West had fever dreams and fantasies that Russian President Putin was about to be overthrown in a civil war, a coup instigated by Western intelligence agencies. It backfired, and now we’re watching to see what NATO does next.

We CANNOT trust these popular Christian leaders anymore. In this video, Ken Ham reacts to and exposes several well-known Christian leaders who abandoned God’s Word and tried to defend an old universe and evolution.

Virgina Satir was born 97 years ago on the 26th of June, 1916. She was a brilliant psychotherapist, whose pioneering work in helping families heal, earned her the title "Mother of Family Therapy". She wasn't a great poet, but her poem "I am me" is at least a little bit Whitmanesque to me. The first lines are: "My declaration of self-esteem I am me In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone chose it ......." How like Whitman is her capacity for vision that...

Ukraine has reclaimed additional territory from Russian forces along the southern frontline but the situation on the battlefield there has changed little over the past week, Ukraine Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar said on Monday. Ukrainian forces have liberated about 130 square kilometres (50 square miles) in the south since the start of Ukraine's offensive actions, Maliar said. A week ago, Maliar said that 113 square kilometres had been reclaimed in the previous two weeks. "The situation in the south has not undergone significant changes over the past week," Maliar told the national broadcaster.

There has been no word from either the Russian president or the Wagner Group boss since the insurrection was abruptly called off after a deal was brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Russia's defence minister has been seen in public for the first time since Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin stood down his group of rebel mercenaries. In the first piece of footage released since the aborted Wagner group mutiny over the weekend, Sergei Shoigu was seen visiting Russian troops involved in Moscow's military operation in Ukraine. It remains unclear when and where the footage released by state news agency RIA...

For seventy-five years of mutual deterrence, nuclear weapons have saved the world, and people just got used to it. Now we see with our own eyes that nuclear weapons no longer stop, because the unthinkable is happening: the West has unleashed a big war in the underbelly of a great nucler power... At some point, we also calmed down, went in line with Western theories and recklessly raised the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons, which the West is now using for a reason. There all the time, semi-officials emphasize: no, the Russians will never use nuclear weapons. They...
