The Ron DeSantis campaign continues to collapse under the inertia of its central flaw, a terrible candidate.Hundreds-of-millions have been amassed to structure the pretending, create the brand image and present the narrative of something completely false.The central flaw was always, eventually, going to surface.Tens of millions have been spent on the launch and careful construct. However, when the core of the effort is built upon a false premise, there is nothing that can be done to change the outcome. Truth has a way of being self-evident; this represents the ultimate problem for the DeSantis team.Every single week since the launch...

Joe Biden, like Forrest Gump, is not a smart man. His latest Ron Burgundy moment comes as Exhibit 1,322b. READ MORE: Joe Biden, President Non Compos Mentis On Monday, he quoted a woman calling high-speed internet “the best thing that has happened to rural America since the Rural Electrification Act brought electricity to farms in the 30s and 40s.” When he finished reading that off a teleprompter, he read the words: “End of quote.” When you lead the No. 1 news team in San Diego, this sort of thing can lead to job loss, beard growth, alcoholism, depression, and drinking...

SPECIAL DISPATCHES FROM FREDERICK. FREDERICK, Md., Tuesday, July 7 -- 9 P.M. The latest intelligence from the front places LEE'S headquarters at Hagerstown to-day. The prospect of another conflict ere crossing the river is not promising. LEE secured the short line of retreat by seizing the Waynesboro Gap. The weather is very wet, and the roads heavy, yet the troops are doing well. The total number of prisoners captured, reported at the Provost-Marshal General's Office up to last night, including the wounded, is in the vicinity of eleven thousand. There is no truth in the stories of great amounts of...

@BorisJohnson Joe Biden has taken a difficult but brave decision to supply cluster munitions to Ukraine. He is right. These are terrible weapons. But they have been used by Putin for over a year in his programme of indiscriminate slaughter of an entirely innocent people. The faster we help the Ukrainians to win, the more lives we will save all round. And never forget - it is the Ukrainians who will use these weapons on their own soil, and to protect themselves.

The ‘Right’ to Rape and Enslave Non-Muslim Women 07/04/2023 by Raymond Ibrahim 6 Comments Enslaved Yazidi women “I will burn you all. I will cut your throats. I will rape you and your mother because I have the right to do so.” Such were the recent words of a Muslim man to a minor girl in France, who had been chatting with him on Facebook. After she refused him, he defaulted to irate terrorist threats, at one point also texting, “Soon we will cut your throats and play football with your heads.” The communication was accompanied by a video showing...

Vatican City (AFP) – Pope Francis said on Sunday he would appoint 21 new cardinals from across the world at the end of September as he seeks to leave his imprint on the papacy. "Their provenance expresses the universality of the Church that continues to proclaim God's merciful love to all people on earth," said the pope, following his weekly Sunday Angelus prayer from the window of the Apostolic Palace on Saint Peter's Square. The consistory will be the ninth for the creation of cardinals under Pope Francis, 86, who became pope a decade ago and is seeking to put...

President Biden was spotted soaking up the sun Saturday during a beach outing that came after a tough four-day workweek. The commander-in-chief caught some rays at the beach near his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Biden, 80, sported blue swim trunks adorned with sea turtles and a white polo shirt as he sunk his toes in the sand alongside First Lady Jill Biden.

Saw an ad for an eco-friendly cleaning product on Fox News yesterday. I meant to check it out online, but got waylaid with other things. I cannot remember the name of the product. Does anyone know what it is? Also, is this product any good?

Luke 23:28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. The Disney delayed movie with Jim Caviezel, The Sound of Freedom puts all the pieces together of what the Death Cult really stands for. They and its exposure of the extremely lucrative and evil business of child slavery is as low as it goes and exactly what the Democrat Party stands for. It is from the deepest recesses of Satanic worship. This movie should be seen by everyone who has a heart for children. It begins with...

The Delaware Supreme Court sided with the University of Delaware Thursday, denying the release of President Joe Biden’s Senate records in a lawsuit brought by the Daily Caller News Foundation and Judicial Watch. The DCNF and Judicial Watch appealed to the Delaware Supreme Court in January 2023 after the state’s Superior Court found the university had satisfied the burden of proof needed to justify denying the records that the DCNF requested through the state’s public records act. The Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s judgement Thursday, shielding the documents requested in both organization’s April 30, 2020 public records requests...

Climate doomsayer James Cameron has joined his wife Suzy Amis Cameron in listing their 102-acre California oceanfront property for sale. The Santa Barbara ranch, purchased by the couple back in 1999, can be yours for $33 million. Fox News reports the 68-year-old filmmaker and the 61-year-old former actress’s estate is located in the exclusive gated neighborhood of Hollister Ranch on Santa Barbara County’s Gaviota Coast

A nearly 1,800-year-old silver military medal featuring the snake-covered head of Medusa has been unearthed in what was once the northern edge of the Roman Empire.Excavators discovered the winged gorgon on June 6 at the English archaeological site of Vindolanda, a Roman auxiliary fort that was built in the late first century, a few decades before Hadrian's Wall was constructed in A.D. 122 to defend the empire against the Picts and the Scots.The "special find" is a "silver phalera (military decoration) depicting the head of Medusa," according to a Facebook post from The Vindolanda Trust, the organization leading the excavations....

Consider for a moment, and be grateful for, how perfect “Joe Biden” is as president of this foundering republic. He and his family project the rectified essence of every depravity now driving the life of our nation to some murky bottom, where it may be forced to assess its sorry state, repent, and perhaps recover (or just give up and die). There he stands, without ambiguity or conscience: “Joe Biden,” the personification of a failed state. As a criminal enterprise, for instance, the Biden family influence-peddling operation among foreign powers reflects exactly the racketeering character of corporate America today —...

Misinformation about everything from election fraud to Covid-19 vaccines is reaching millions of Americans through a popular but opaque medium: podcasts. Many podcasts -- on-demand audio programs which users can listen to on smartphones -- bluntly promote false and unproven claims. The Brookings Institution found "War Room" from former Donald Trump aide Steve Bannon has aired the most false statements, amassing more than 135 million downloads while promoting allegations of vote rigging in the 2020 US election.

(Daily readings from the USCCB)“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” Matthew 11:28–30Around the year 167 BC, two new groups of religious leaders emerged within Judaism: the scribes and Pharisees. By the time that Jesus walked the earth, these religious leaders had developed many customs, false doctrines and religious practices that they claimed were derived from the Law...

On June 13th, 1945, a month after the defeat of Nazi Germany, the New York Times published an article titled "Teen-Agers are an American Invention." With peace in sight, the generation that was too young to fight in the war was being defined by the newspaper of record as being "not ready for the serious matters of adulthood." Still, this newly-minted demographic (whose emergence had been nearly a century in the making) was being invited to express itself with its own culture – "and the leisure and the unprecedented affluence of teenagers predispose them to accept the invitation." Birthdays –...

When looking at potential candidates running for office without a voting record to base judgment on, I look for red flags. To me, voting records are the best indicators. I knew exactly who Mitt Romney and Ted Cruz were when they ran for president due to known quantities, which was the reason I did not vote for Romney and did vote for Cruz in the primaries. Without voting records, candidates can say anything they wish, without a single vote to prove anything. This is the political unknown where Vivek Ramaswamy comes from. Beyond being a Hindu, which in my mind...

As Americans, we are being assaulted by numerous alphabet ideologies we don’t understand—from DEI to ESG to LGBTQ+. We seek to understand through logic, but by doing so, we become only more confused. The only way to understand what’s happening is to recognize the ideology that underlies all of it: Marxism. When Patrisse Cullors, BLM’s co-founder, acknowledged that BLM leaders were “trained Marxists,” we failed to understand the significance. It is time to change that. Marxism’s central idea is that the world is broken down into two groups; or as Marx stated: “in a word, oppressor and oppressed.” This is...

Now, a New York State Supreme Court judge has ruled for Ithaca Renting, agreeing with the local business’s position that the Section 8 program’s inspection requirement was a violation of the Constitution’s protection against searches. In his ruling on June 27th, Hon. Mark G. Masler says the Attorney General’s argument “is fundamentally flawed for the simple reason that, as set forth above, a landlord cannot accept a Section 8 housing voucher as payment for rent without agreeing to participate in Section 8, which, in turn, requires that the landlord authorize warrantless searches.” Judge Masler’s ruling points out that the Housing...
