A new bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Democrats would eliminate the use of the words “husband” and “wife” in federal laws, instead replacing them with genderless terms like “spouse.” As reported by Fox News, the “Amend the Code for Marriage Equality Act” was introduced by Congresswoman Julia Brownley (D-Calif.), and would change many existing laws by removing “husband” and “wife” from pre-existing text. Instead, the new law would replace these words with phrases such as “a married couple,” “married person,” and “person who has been, but is no longer, married to’.” “Although the U.S. Supreme Court ruled...

If anything merits a special counsel, it is the allegations buried by the FBI that a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch paid millions to bribe the “Big Guy,” then-Vice President Joe Biden, to get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired. The grave allegations contained in an FBI document released Thursday by Sen. Chuck Grassley came to light only because of a patriotic whistleblower. It is an outrage that FBI Director Christopher Wray tried to hide this so-called FD-1023 document from congressional Oversight Committee members. It is an outrage that Delaware US Attorney David Weiss buried it again when provided with the document in 2020...

A small, quiet Arkansas town home to just 11,100 people is set to become the epicenter of the US 'white gold' boom. Magnolia, a blue-collar town in the state's southern region, was once a locus for oil but is on track to become a major producer of lithium, dubbed 'white gold' because of its soft, silvery-white look and the fact it powers most modern tech - from cellphones to laptops and electric cars. Exxon Mobil is planning to build one of the world’s largest lithium processing facilities near the town, with a capacity to produce 75,000 to 100,000 metric tons...

It’s so damn obvious. You’d have to be delusional, naïve, a moron, or a Democrat to not understand what went down. You’d have to be delusional, naïve, a moron, or a Democrat to not understand our country has been sold out. And you’d have to be blind, deaf and dumb to not understand this wasn’t Biden’s plan. Biden has always been Obama’s “useful idiot.” The answer to every question about who committed the crimes…who sold out our country…who is the mastermind…is always the same… IABO: It’s Always Been Obama. It’s all out in the open now. Everyone can see Joe...

Country music star Garth Brooks and his wife, singer Trisha Yearwood, took to social media on Wednesday to urge their fans to donate money to Ukraine, presumably funds in addition to the over $110 billion American taxpayers have sent to Kyiv’s war effort. “We stand with Ukraine, especially the refugees,” Brooks said at the beginning of the video, before his wife added, “There’s a global initiative, and of course, supplies and aid is already spread thin, and this is where you come in. We need your help. We need you to donate.”

Country music star John Rich just became Garth Brooks and his wife Trisha Yearwood’s worst nightmare after delivering a brutal roast that leaves the couple absolutely trashed after the two posted a video supporting Ukraine. Many who saw the video from the two country superstars thought it was, well, a little bit creepy. And, to be honest, it absolutely is. Also, the fact that billions and billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars are being sent over to Ukraine while our economic woes continue to fester and negatively impact every American family, especially the middle class, makes these out-of-touch, rich celebrities posting...

Missionary Antonius Hambroek was put to death on this date in 1661 as the warlord Koxinga wrested control of Formosa (Taiwan) from the Dutch. In the 1620s, the running Dutch-Spanish war as projected into both countries’ colonial extrusions had resulted in the two dividing that South China island: the Dutch in the south, based at Fort Zeelandia, and Spain in the north. In 1641 the Dutch conquered Spanish Formosa to establish themselves as the apex predators on a rough and lawless island. But that’s before they ran into Koxinga. Simultaneous with the Dutch advance on Formosa, China’s Ming dynasty was...

On the crypto front, Bitcoin is up 0.47% and Dogecoin is up 5.58%. You can always buy Kamala’s Own Word Salad Dressing!

Speculation continues to mount over the fate of American soldier Travis King after he fled into North Korean territory earlier this week — with the US revealing the hermit kingdom has gone silent about his well-being and fate. From being used as a propaganda tool to being propped up as a potential bargaining chip, the guesses about North Korea’s next steps vary widely given there’s little precedent for King’s situation, experts and former diplomats say. The 23-year-old, who is the first US soldier in decades to defect to North Korea, bolted across the border on Tuesday during a civilian tour...
