Jared Bernstein was VP Joe Biden’s former Chief Economist and is now chair of the United States Council of Economic Advisers. Pretty impressive! Except that Bernstein is not really an economist. He has a PhD in social welfare from Columbia University. In other words, Bernstein is a Progressive Marxist cheerleader, not a real economist. Perfect for The Biden Adminstration where they installed a small town Mayor with no experience (Buttigieg) as Transportation Secretary. But Bernstein’s interview with Fox’s Shannon Bream on gas prices under Biden says it all about his economic acumen: Top economic advisor Jared Bernstein tries and fails...

He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition, where he died...

Even environmentalists concede that nuclear power is a clean source of abundant, reliable energy. But they stop short of supporting it. Why? Because of the “waste problem.” But how real are their concerns? James Meigs, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, answers this question.

Devon Archer is stepping up to spill the beans. I hope its a huge bowl. Hunter Biden would dial in his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone into meetings with his overseas business partners, according to testimony expected before Congress this week from Devon Archer, the first son’s former best friend. Archer, 48, who is facing jail for his role in a $60 million bond fraud, is scheduled to testify to the House Oversight Committee about meetings he witnessed that were attended by Joe Biden either in person or via speakerphone when Hunter would call his father and introduce...

Three individuals still at large after assaulting 68-year-old woman (Source: Rincon Police Department) (Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) A Georgia woman, Donna Hansbrough, aged 68, was terminated from her job at Lowe’s after taking matters into her own hands to stop three brazen shoplifters who had stolen thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. Hansbrough had been a dedicated employee at the company for 13 years until the incident occurred. According to Lowe’s, her termination was based on her violation of company policy against personally restraining shoplifters, even though her intentions were to prevent theft. In an interview with the Effingham Herald,...

Chicago police say two women were attacked with a broken bottle during a fight among a large group of well-dressed people in Streeterville on Sunday evening. A Snapchat video showed a couple dozen people gathered in the 200 block of East Ontario as police tried to disperse the group around 8:50 p.m. Some people in the group are decked out in formal wear. Other Snaps from the area were sent from a wedding ceremony where some people appeared to be wearing outfits similar to those seen in the crowd. One Snap showed police officers in the reception hall. Police said...

'The left-wing media continues to say, ‘Oh, it's unverified,’ but I didn't hear that during the Steele dossier...' In a scathing critique of mainstream media’s double standards, former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker appeared on Fox News’s Fox and Friends Sunday on July 24th, blasting the media’s handling of the FD-1023 informant file in comparison to the infamous Steele Dossier. Parker began by stating, “Full disclaimer, I have never worked on this investigation. I reviewed the document just like everybody else did on open source, and an FD-1023 is a confidential human source reporting document.” She emphasized the significance of...

(Daily readings from the USCCB)At the judgment the queen of the south will arise with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and there is something greater than Solomon here.” Matthew 12:42In this passage, Jesus refers to the Queen of Sheba who traveled about 1,400 miles from Southern Arabia, which was most likely located in either modern-day Yemen or Ethiopia, to meet King Solomon. The queen had heard much about Solomon, about his wealth and wisdom, and wanted to find out if all that she heard was...

There’s being fortunate in your enemies, and then there’s having enemies who are helping you take the first step in your political comeback. Donald Trump and his adversaries want profoundly different things in the long run — Trump wants to be back in the White House; Democrats want him in an orange jumpsuit. Yet in the shorter term, they both are seeking the same thing — Trump as the Republican nominee, either so he can sweep to victory (Trump’s view) or be beaten again and pay the price for his crimes (the Democrats’ view). The serial indictments of Trump, even...

The New World Order is engaged in an all-out war on personal conscience. King Charles III insists that we have only six years left to "save the planet." (p)Resident Biden is spending tens of billions of dollars to ensure that high-speed broadband internet access is universal within the U.S. and its territories by 2030. Intelligence analysts continue to predict that China will invade and conquer Taiwan no later than 2030. Four Electoral Court judges in Brazil have banned former president Jair Bolsonaro — an anti-globalist conservative — from office for eight years. The Department of (in)Justice and political activists posing...

The remains appear to belong to...

WASHINGTON — The president of the United States tripping and falling is never a good moment in the throes of a re-election campaign. But when the president is 80 years old and already faces concerns that he’s too old for another term, it’s something of a crisis. Joe Biden’s aides realized they had a problem last month when the president tripped over a sandbag — hard — at the Air Force Academy’s graduation ceremony. Biden’s answer to voters who question whether he’s up to the rigors of a second term is simple: “Watch me.” The trouble is, voters are watching,...

Beginning in the 1820s, Georgia began a campaign to exterminate the Cherokee Nation by force and removal. The state annexed Cherokee land, and Georgia led the way in pressuring Congress to pass the Indian Removal Act. A minister by the name of Samuel Worcester was ministering on Cherokee land. Georgia eventually passed laws that made it “illegal” for whites to live on Cherokee land and extended Georgia’s territory into Cherokee land. Worcester didn’t leave. He and others were arrested by Georgia “police” and sentenced to four years of hard labor. He appealed his sentence, and the US Supreme Court struck...

This weekend the big Barbie movie opens and it’s getting a pretty good critical reception. Metacritic gives it an 80/100. It’s 90% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. But honestly, I would be pretty shocked if the movie was even slightly ‘for me.’ The moment I heard they were making this movie, I thought that there was very little chance that this would be a movie I would like. Which is fine. Not everyone likes the same things and there’s nothing wrong with it. Life would be boring if we all liked the same things. So as long as there is no...

The Biden regime is so sold out to the prevailing social contagion that has men thinking they can become women and women likewise deluded into believing they can become men that it is offering special treatment and outrageous perks to military service members who “identify as transgender.” If you’re wondering what this kind of social engineering has to do with winning wars, the answer is precisely nothing. The United States military hasn’t won a war since 1945, and it certainly isn’t going to start winning any now. Its mission is something else altogether. Journalist Jordan Schachtel revealed Tuesday the revolting...

A court has ruled that Jeep's lawsuit against Mahindra over the Roxor UTV has no ground to stand on since the off-roader's substantial redesign. As a result, Mahindra is clear to sell its distant relative to the Wrangler in the United States. The pair's legal spat began in August 2018 when Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (now part of Stellantis) complained to authorities of the Mahindra Roxor's visual similarity to the Jeep CJ. Jeep described the Roxor as a "nearly identical copy" as quoted by Automotive News, pointing to its "boxy body shape with flat-appearing vertical sides and rear body ending at...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemLuke 23 The Crucifixion of Jesus 26 As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. 27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs...

It's okay to act to steal an election in Michigan... as long as you're a Democrat. It is nice to see that Democrats are finally taking law and order seriously. Recently, the Democrat attorney general of Michigan, Dana Nessel, brought 16 dangerous geriatrics to justice. They are all prominent Michigan Republicans, and they were hoping to slip some fake elector certificates to Mike Pence during the joint session of Congress on January 6th, 2021. I imagine that the plan had to work something like this: After Mike Pence announced the correct slate of electors for Michigan (the one signed by...

An abandoned Kmart store that homeless vagrants have been using as their temporary home in Portland, Oregon was riddled by a massive fire on Wednesday, authorities say. Portland Fire Bureau spokesperson Rick Graves told The Oregonian that it was only a matter of time before the site was set ablaze. "We know this structure," Graves asserted. "We've known this has been vacant for some time … [with] people gaining occupancy and using it as their home." Several complaints from nearby residents have recently been made towards the city over the building's accessibility and draw for homeless individuals, trash, and debris....
