Since opposing power in our modern times is futile, we must adapt to the demands it makes on us. This is especially true of the long running character in the fictional James Bond series.“Oh, the things I do for England,” Sean Connery once said in You Only Live Twice.Long gone are the days of carefree innocence and naiveté when we would watch a movie as a child or a teenager and think it wasn’t propaganda. It just reflected what human beings are. Sadly, or perhaps wonderfully, as we grow up, our experiences change how we see the world. Some of...

The sandwich franchise Subway responded after one of its restaurants received backlash for a tasteless joke about the Titan submersible tragedy. On July 5, a spokesperson for Subway gave a statement to the “Today” show and confirmed it was aware of the sign. “We have been in contact with the franchise about this matter and made it clear that this kind of comment has no place in our business,” the spokesperson said. “The sign has since been removed.” On July 2, Timothy Mauck, based in Georgia, posted a photo to his Facebook page showing a sign outside of a local...

The US is planning to send Ukraine a cluster munitions package to help in its counteroffensive against Russia, US media reports. Ukraine has been asking for the weapons for months amid an ammunition shortage. Cluster munitions - which are banned by dozens of countries - are a class of weapons that contain multiple explosive bomblets called submunitions. The Biden administration is expected to announce the package on Friday, the BBC's US partner CBS News reports. US officials had reportedly been hesitant to supply Ukraine with cluster munitions because of their potential to harm civilians. The US has a stockpile of...

UPS isn’t just another large shipping company. It carries 6% of America’s gross domestic product in its trucks. It also plays a central role in the smooth movement of goods the economy depends upon, feeding supply chains that are only recently recovering from disruptions that drove that drove up prices in the past couple years. That’s why there is so much at stake in contract negotiations between UPS and the Teamsters union. Without a deal, 340,000 Teamsters are preparing to go on strike at the nation’s largest trucking company starting August 1. “This strike is a serious threat to the...

Happy birthday to Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey) who was born on this day in 1940 and turns 83 today. Ringo is one of the two surviving members of what we used to call “The Fab Four.“ The band stopped recording 50-plus years ago and we are still talking about it. I guess that's impressive.Ringo will probably go down in history as one of the luckiest men ever born. Talk about “being in the right place at the right time” or winning the biggest lottery of all time. "The luck of Ringo" or something like that.In the summer of 1962, The...

(Last Updated On: June 28, 2023) NATIONAL STRAWBERRY SUNDAE DAY | JULY 7 On July 7th, it is time to indulge on National Strawberry Sundae Day. Each year on this day, Americans combine vanilla or strawberry ice cream, strawberry sauce, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. Make several strawberry sundaes, and enjoy this delicious treat with friends and family. #StrawberrySundaeDay While the oldest known record of an ice cream sundae is an Ithaca, NY advertisement, the originator of the dessert is cooly debated. The October 5, 1892 ad in the Ithaca Daily Journal spelled the ice cream treat with the conventional...

The planet’s temperature soared again on Thursday to levels not seen in the modern record-keeping era, marking the fourth straight day of record temperatures. These alarming new records are likely the highest temperatures in “at least 100,000 years,” one scientist told CNN. The global average daily temperature climbed to 17.23 degrees Celsius (63.01 degrees Fahrenheit) on Thursday, according to the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer, which uses data from the US National Centers for Environmental Prediction. It’s been a week of record-breaking temperatures. On Monday, the average global temperature reached 17.01 degrees Celsius (62.62 degrees Fahrenheit), the highest in the...

45th President Donald J. Trump’s rise in the polls since Biden’s arrest of him seems to have concerned the Biden White House. Reports broke late Thursday and early Friday that Joe Biden’s lackey Jack Smith will be charging Trump 45 more times. It is believed charges related to January 6th will be included in the new batch of charges. This, as Trump predicted Friday that he will not face charges in Georgia. Trump posted on TruthSocial Friday, “I predict that the Racist District Attorney in Atlanta, with the per capita WORST crime record in the Country, Fani Willis, where murderers...

The strategy of the American Marxists seeking to impose a cultural revolution has been top-down, derived from the work of Antonio Gramsci, taking control of the “commanding heights” of institutional power and imposing their vision on what old style Marxists called “the masses.” So long as the great unwashed remained passive, oblivious to what was happening, it was highly successful. But something happened to disrupt this stealthy plan. First, Donald Trump won the presidency, teaching the much-derided non-elites that they had more power than the ruling class believed possible. Even though Trump was denied a second term through means both...

Rudy Giuliani, a former senior member of former President Trump’s legal team, suggested he be hired to find who left the cocaine that was discovered in the White House earlier this week. “Why don’t they appoint me and give me a couple of … lie detector analysts and a couple of forensic experts, and I’ll catch them,” Giuliani said Thursday on Newsmax. He also accused White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre of “lying” because she has said the cocaine was found in a highly traveled part of the White House. “First of all, we’ll first figure out everybody that went...

Major Coughlin brings to the forefront the existence of a united front effort between the far left, often referred to as the Neo-Marxist left, and the Islamic movement, specifically the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikwan). This alliance forms a coalition where the principle of “your enemy’s enemy is your friend” prevails. However, he warns that there will come a point where they must decide their future actions, much like when Ayatollah Khomeini aligned with Marxists to overthrow the government of Iran, which resulted in many dead communists and The Islamic Republic of Iran.

Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen says Walt Nauta, the valet to the former president charged in the classified and sensitive documents case, should look out for himself and not think that Trump will protect him. Cohen said in an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Thursday that Nauta believes the former president will protect him if he is loyal and not “throw him under the bus.” But he said Nauta should be able to learn from Cohen’s own experience, and those of other former Trump allies, that Trump can’t be trusted to protect his associates.

Democrats see a clear path to winning back the House majority in next fall’s elections, even as their worries grow that they could lose their hard-fought Senate majority.

A Lancet review of 325 autopsies after Covid vaccination found that 74% of the deaths were caused by the vaccine – but the study was removed within 24 hours. The paper, a pre-print that was awaiting peer-review, is written by leading cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, Yale epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch and their colleagues at the Wellness Company and was published online on Wednesday on the pre-print site of the prestigious medical journal. However, less than 24 hours later, the study was removed and a note appeared stating: “This preprint has been removed by Preprints with the Lancet because the study’s...

Ukraine’s National bank says it now holds nearly $39 billion in foreign reserves, the highest level in the history of the country as an independent nation, as it continues to receive large deliveries of cash from allied nations. There was a $38.99 billion reserve held by Ukraine as of July first, the National Bank of Ukraine said in their latest figures, up from $37.3 billion in June. The size of the reserve is the largest since the fall of the Soviet Union, and beats the previous 2011 record of $38 billion. Per the National Bank, this reserve was achieved “thanks...

The summit aims to bring business leaders together to create "foods that are nutritious, accessible, and climate-smart." A global meeting called the Future Food-Tech summit, which takes place in the United Kingdom in September, plans to bring over 800 business leaders together to, among other things, focus on bringing "alternative proteins" into the food market. As reported by Cosmin Dzsurdzsa for True North, the group has ties to the World Economic Forum (WEF), and companies from Canada specializing in insect proteins have been invited to attend by their very own government's National Research Council. The summit aims to bring business...

UN - "Excessive force..." advanced weapons in a densely populated area, etc. - Then why is it that only 18 were eliminated and no civilan was killed? Will some of the anti-Israel goons who acts as so called "human rights" activists be happier if Israel had used less advanced weapons so that it loses more of its anti-terror fighters and cause collateral damage so graphic photos of dead kids can then be cynically be propagated with?

I *mostly quit watching Fox after their election 2020 clownshow. I would however get updates on Sirius XM or perhaps zone in during a workout. This seems different... not only with me. There's some type of Dylan Mulvaney VoodDoo going on since the Tucker debacle; I - and apparently legions of others - just cannot stand the sight or sound of ANY Fox programming any longer. Even when I "try" to listen or watch, I just wind up turning them right off. Even the "good" ones, like compliant hipster Gutfeld, or Watters, who seems more like a climber than a...
