King Charles III had trouble keeping Joe Biden “on track” during the US President’s recent visit to the United Kingdom, says Sky News host Chris Kenny.

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville on Tuesday said, simply and for the first time, that "white nationalists are racists." That remark to reporters marked a reversal from days of controversial comments to the contrary, which had drawn criticism from Democratic leaders and head-scratching from some of Tuberville's Republican colleagues. Earlier on Tuesday, the senator told ABC News that white nationalists shouldn't all be labeled as "racist" while also insisting he opposes racism. Tuberville, a former college football coach first elected in 2020, had been pressed on his stance by ABC's Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott, who asked him, "Can you explain...

I always enjoy aphorisms, especially the humorous country type. They was a makin' more racket than a bunch of skeletons pitching a hissy fit on a tin roof!

From climate change to species loss and pollution, humans have etched their impact on the Earth with such strength and permanence since the middle of the 20th century that a special team of scientists says a new geologic epoch began then. Called the Anthropocene — and derived from the Greek terms for “human” and “new” — this epoch started sometime between 1950 and 1954, according to the scientists. While there is evidence worldwide that captures the impact of burning fossil fuels, detonating nuclear weapons and dumping fertilizers and plastics on land and in waterways, the scientists are proposing a small...

On Tuesday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau took Bank of America to task for a list of illegal actions that undermine customer trust. [Snip] Bank of America agreed to pay a total of $150 million in fines and reimburse customers $100 million. [Snip] “Bank of America is a repeat offender. [Snip] Double-dipping: The bank had a previous policy of charging a $35 fee once — and then repeatedly for the same transaction — when a customer didn't have enough money in the account to cover the bill. If the company or person who was owed the money tried to resubmit...

On June 30th, 2023, at the beginning of the weekend, before we celebrated our Independence as a nation and our freedoms, the Firearms Policy Coalition scored a MASSIVE victory over the ATF & illegitimate Biden Regime. Judge Reed O’Connor of the U.S. Northern District of Texas Federal Court ruled that the ATF’s ‘frame & receiver’ so-called ‘rule’ was NULL & VOID. Let’s dive into this exciting case and its implications! This case was filed by plaintiffs Jennifer VanDerStock and Blackhawk Manufacturing Group, represented by the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), in a lawsuit challenging the legality of the ATF’s frame/receiver rule...

The media has cultivated the image of Joe Biden as a kindly, sagacious, calm grandfather. Some venues become utterly sycophantic. Daily Kos: Joe Biden needs to be the Grandfather for All and welcome the People into the process of participation and action. He has the wisdom of age and the resources of his Presidency. Go to work, Joe - speak to the needs, offer practical ideas, listen to what the People know, and then problem-solve together. Open yourself to a changing America that reflects participation, transparent views, and actions that inspire local involvement under the umbrella of inclusivity and democratic...

Arguably no issue is less partisan, and more likely to unite people of every political stripe, even in our current state of hyper-polarization, than child trafficking. How could opposition to the cruel kidnapping of children and their forced recruitment into the international sex trade fail to draw unified support from all corners? And yet when a movie comes along that dares to address this uncomfortable topic, this horrific evil, head-on – a movie aimed not only at raising awareness but at inspiring action – the Left curiously rallies to undermine it with partisan smears and ugly innuendo. Angel Studios’ Sound...

Most salvage yards will NOT accept electric vehicles. The media is not reporting on many negative EV concepts having been compromised by the present administration and big money. This is huge news and the media is turning a blind eye. Where are they going to put these cars/batteries when they wear out. Huh???

Gun reform advocates are appealing to all those affected by gun violence, including gun owners themselves, in a new PSA released by gun violence prevention nonprofit Brady United and the Ad Council. Via a multimedia campaign and digital activation that mimics an incognito safe, seven people who contemplated taking their own life by a firearm make the potentially lifesaving case for proper gun storage and firearm safety — part of a broader mission to address record-high numbers of firearm deaths. "A moment of crisis can happen to anyone," the PSA says. "Store your gun securely: locked, unloaded, and away from...

A Michigan jury has decided that a document handwritten by Aretha Franklin, which was found underneath some couch cushions following her death, is her valid will, as The New York Times reports. The will was discovered in 2019, a year after Franklin’s death from pancreatic cancer, and has been the subject of a dispute between Franklin’s sons, the inheritors of her estate. The document is dated to 2014, four years after a more detailed will that was drawn up in 2010. Neither was prepared by a lawyer, though the earlier one was notarized. Despite the more informal nature of the...

"Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee." "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Mark, Chapter 5 1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. 2 And when he was come out...

Sun Tzu suggested appearing weak to your enemies when you are strong. He did not suggest appearing weak when you are already weak. The world knows that America is having trouble recruiting new soldiers, and now the world also knows that America is low on ammo.( see link- Biden’s admission). Biden has completely abandoned all domestic policy in favor of the proxy war in Ukraine. Biden revealed his cards at a CNN town hall meeting. “The Ukrainians are running out of ammunition, the ammunition that they used to call them 155-millimeter weapons. This is a— this is a war relating...

The first U.S. spaceship to Venus crash-landsoff the coast of Sicily on its return trip.A dangerous, lizard-like creature comes with it and quickly grows gigantic.

DETROIT (Reuters) -The U.S. electric vehicle market is growing, but not fast enough during the latest quarter to prevent unsold EVs from stacking up at some automakers' dealerships or to allow Tesla to avoid new price cuts, according to analysts and industry data. Rising inventories and price-cutting could represent only a short-term pause in EV market growth. But they could be signals that boosting U.S. EV sales above the current 7% market share level will be more costly and difficult than expected, even with federal and state subsidies.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida could be free to offer statewide electronic sports betting in time for the fall resumption of college and professional football due to a ruling by a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on June 30 approved Florida’s 30-year gambling compact with the Seminole Tribe of Florida, including language that allows statewide sports betting via cellphones and other electronic devices as long as the bets are channeled through servers on tribal land, an arrangement described as “hub and spoke.” The deal promises to return $2.5...

WASHINGTON — In 2020, Joe Biden scored a narrow Electoral College victory with a decisive assist from young voters. But as the president looks beyond his first term, many young voters are not satisfied, presenting a fresh challenge as he heads into a likely rematch with former President Donald Trump in 2024. Biden faces little risk of losing young Americans to Trump, who is far less popular among Gen Z and millennial voters. But can the president harness their anger to turn out and push him over the top? Or will their lack of perceived progress cause them to stay...

A feud is playing out between two public agencies in Southern California this week over beach access. The accusations started on Friday evening when the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA) — a public agency dedicated to preserving parklands and coastal access in and around Los Angeles — accused the city of Malibu of tearing down its signs directing visitors to “hidden” public beaches along the famous coastline. “It can be very difficult to find this public access down to this hidden beach,” the MRCA’s Edgar Del Campo said in a video shot on Broad Beach Road, near Lechuza Beach....

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is said to have turned down an invitation to speak at Turning Point Action (TPA) in West Palm Beach, Florida, this weekend — a move that has conservatives perplexed. Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, shared Posobiec’s tweet, writing, “Too bad!” Cernovich offered a similar sentiment to Bowyer’s. Who told DeSantis to snub Turning Point? Is he afraid they’ll boo him? They wouldn’t. What exactly is the “thinking” going on with his brainiac brain trust of big donor funded advisers? While DeSantis will not be at the event, four other Republican presidential...

The Justice Department’s deceitfulness regarding Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal gets more audacious by the day. Thanks to the media-Democrat complex’s partisanship, it also gets tougher to pierce — which, of course, is the point. Delaware US attorney David Weiss is in a vice of DOJ’s own making. Credible IRS investigators, including supervisory agent Gary Shapley, have reported that he told several law-enforcement officials connected to the Biden investigation that he was not the ultimate decision-maker regarding whether Biden would be charged, that he was being thwarted by other Biden-appointed US attorneys in Washington, DC, and California (the two districts...
