Fox News’s Martha McCallum threw Florida Governor Ron DeSantis a softball question on how he could turn his floundering campaign around. His reply? “We’re happy with what we’ve seen so far.”McCallum first queried: “You’re at 19 percent, which I think is a little bit lower than you were prior to this… are you frustrated by the polling you’ve seen so far?”DeSantis initially tries to not answer the question, immediately pivoting to “defeating Biden” as well as his “story and philosophy.”McCallum pushed back, asking: “What do you think is the catalyst that moves these numbers?” DeSantis, again, attempted to pivot, before...

Author and commentator Jonathan Brentner wrote a provocative article titled, “How Can You Not See It?” He was asking the question, how can you not see the fulfilling of Bible prophecy wherever you look? Is it biblical illiteracy, indifference, or busyness, that keeps the majority from acknowledging the obvious? Time is running out. Predicted events are exploding. Things are in decline. Even nature is screaming that Jesus is coming soon! All of creation must be set free, not just humans. Most reading this magazine have seen things in their lifetime that are, quite frankly, astounding: The re-birth and prospering of...

In the Republican presidential race, NBC News assures us that Tim Scott has the Big Mo: Tim Scott's standing on the rise among GOP voters, poll finds South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott is getting the attention of Republican primary voters. Really? So his polls numbers are way up? No, not exactly: He gets support from just 3% of Republicans as their first choice in the GOP presidential primary, according to the latest national NBC News poll. But that's just part of the picture: The number of GOP voters who see Scott as their second-choice candidate has risen sharply — more...

Just watch the post. It is sickening.

Struggling in the polls has not kept former Arkansas Gov. from delivering some hot takes about his opponents on cable news. Last night during an interview with CNN’s Abby Phillip, Hutchinson, speaking from Bentonville, ripped former President Donald Trump for not being able to protect our nation’s secrets and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for not being able to answer a high school student’s question about January 6. “American voters deserve more,” Hutchinson said. He also pronounced “bravado” quite strangely. Listen for yourself.

When former president Donald J. Trump first burst onto the political scene in 2015 he was an animal. He had boundless energy, and a message that resonated with millions of people—he was fighting for the forgotten men and women who had been let down by our ruling class. Trump was ubiquitous. At least it felt that way. ...SNIP...SNIP... He appears to be running his campaign on auto-pilot, but without nearly the same amount of pizazz and chutzpah from 2016. For an individual who is first and foremost an entertainer and a self-promoter, it’s hard to fathom that the reality TV...

COLUMBIA — Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley on Tuesday criticized former President Donald Trump for being too friendly to China during his time in office, while also warning that weak support for Ukraine would "only encourage" China to invade Taiwan. Haley, a Republican presidential candidate running against Trump, said in a speech at the American Enterprise Institute that Trump was "almost singularly focused" on the U.S.-China trade relationship but ultimately did "too little about the rest of the Chinese threat." Specifically, Haley noted that Trump failed to rally U.S. allies "against the Chinese threat" and that he had congratulated...

Americans in "ukraine"Thinking about making a lot of money working as a mercenary or adviser/contractor of some sort in Country404??

My home state of California is Bizzarroland, totally over the edge. It was bad enough, but now it has crossed the Rubicon and blown up the bridge and burned the boats. The Golden State is set to take away parental rights and create a police state where a court and judge must (not may) affirm a child’s chosen made-up gender “identity.” But that same California requires permission for a minor to get a tattoo. Make sense of it. I can’t. Soon in California, if the Democrat super-majority gets its way, confused children can be taken from a parent(s) and chemically...

Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie called former President Donald Trump the "cheapest S.O.B." he’s "ever met." In a Tuesday interview with Politico, Christie took aim at the former president and front-runner to be the GOP’s nominee for president in 2024. Christie said Trump is "the cheapest S.O.B. I’ve ever met in my life" and that what the former president "is good at is spending other people’s money."

Peter Schweizer on Sunday dropped a bombshell during an appearance on Fox News with host Maria Bartiromo. Schweizer, author of “Secret Empires,” said Joe Biden was using a secret cell phone and it was paid for by Hunter Biden’s firm. “What is the line of communications between Hunter Biden and his business partners and Joe Biden when he’s Vice President of the United States?” Schweizer said. “It’s not the government phone. It’s not Joe Biden’s personal phone. We know from the laptop that Hunter Biden’s business paid for a private phone line that Joe Biden used while he was Vice...

Islamic Scholars Association Member Hussein Qasem: Jews Are E###ies Of Humanity; We Are Thirsty For Their Blood June 28, 2023 Palestine Islamic Scholars Association member Hussein Qasem said in a June 23, 2023 show on Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas-Gaza) that the Jews are not only enemies of the Palestinians...

The Flu did not disappear, it was simply rebranded as Covid. With further commentary from the longtime lead scientist of the CDC's molecular diagnostic laboratory. One of the biggest mysteries of “the pandemic” involves the supposed disappearance of the flu. Did the flu really disappear during the covid hysteria era, or is something else afoot? ... Now, during the confusion and panic of the last few years, there have been lots of explanations advanced about the supposed disappearance of the flu. The lockdowners and their credentialed institutions often claimed that masked worked (lol) to stop the flu, despite not working...

[Catholic Caucus] "Is a Synod of Horrors Coming Our Way in 2023/24?" "Already it is regarded in the media as a 'church parliament' or 'mini-concilium,' and the Synod Secretariat's protestations to the contrary only reinforce this unfortunate impression." A guest commentary by Joachim Heimerl (source in German)Recently I heard a lady being asked about the "synodal church." Her answer was as succinct as it was accurate: "Please! I'm Catholic, not synodical." I can only agree with this myself, even though talk of the "synodal church" is now so naturally on everyone's lips as if it were a statement of faith.In...

An Iraqi man filled a Koran with bacon and burned it in Stockholm on Wednesday, an event that has angered Turkey as Sweden bids to join NATO. The inflammatory stunt was carried out by two men outside the city's main mosque on the first day of the Muslim three-day Eid al-Adha holiday.

People tell the story in different ways, but they agree on this much: In 1979, at Hanover College, the boys of Phi Gamma Delta threw a party with girls and booze. Hanover, a small liberal arts school perched high on the Indiana side of the Ohio River with views of Kentucky, is a Presbyterian institution with strict rules on alcohol, and an event like this was far out of bounds. Word came to the revelers that someone from the dean’s office was headed their way. Everyone scrambled. Women were hustled out, floors swept and mopped, and kegs tossed down a...

And when beer prices are making news at an event, it’s never a good thing for the folks who bought the tickets. , a six-pack of Busch Light or Michelod Ultra will run you $63. That’s about five times the price of a 12-pack of cans outside the event. Brutal. Good news is, if you just want a single beer, that will only cost you $10.50 … or about the price of a 12-pack. Of course, you don’t have to drink beer at all. A bottle of Dasani comes in at a “cheap” $3.95. Or you can kick back at...

The military implications of his actions at home and abroad are staggering. It’s an intriguing question: At what point does one of America’s richest men giving $50 million to the country’s number one geopolitical rival amount to a national security threat? Billionaire Bill Gates on June 15 announced he was shelling out $50 million as part of a partnership with “a notorious Chinese Communist Party-controlled university that conducts research for the nation’s military,” as The Washington Free Beacon put it. “Gates unveiled the partnership during a speech in Beijing….” The WFB reports. “The $50 million from the Bill and Melinda...

"And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them." "And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name...
