In a moment straight out of the Twilight Zone, democrats used a censorship hearing to censor the hell out of RFK Jr. He wasn't allowed to get very far into his presentation when he was savaged. Now I'm not here to argue the merits of RFK's assertions, but rather lament his treatment at the hands of the New Fascist Party. For background, RFK Jr. suggested that COVID 19 might have been genetically designed to spare Ashkenazi Jews and ethnically Chinese people. Democrats pounced on him before he could say 20 words and repeatedly shut him down. The star chamber treatment...

If only the Biden administration fought illegal migration half as hard as it’s fighting Texas. Thus far, the open borders regime is investigating efforts by Texas to prevent illegal border crossings after the state stepped in once the Biden administration had turned CBP into coyotes enabling illegal migration. It’s also suing Texas for putting up floating barriers on the Rio Grande to prevent illegal invaders from swimming across. "The Justice Department warned officials in Texas on Thursday that the federal government will sue the state unless it removes border barriers it recently set up in the middle of the Rio...

Elon Musk has taken a wrecking ball to Jack Dorsey’s Twitter, first gutting the foundation and now demolishing the façade. But according to Dorsey, the co-founder and longtime chief executive of Twitter, Musk's latest idea to scrap the site’s blue bird logo and rename the platform to X as an “accelerant” for creating an everything app — an earthquake in the corporate branding world — is nothing to get excited about. “Keep calm and just x through it,” Dorsey posted late on Sunday on his former platform. Dorsey has been accused of letting the fox into the henhouse when he...

Dystopian surveillance is here and providing a growing market for tech entrepreneurs. Police agencies are daily using artificial intelligence to identify "suspicious" patterns of behavior in millions of random cars caught on surveillance cameras connecting with databases of ownership, and enabling searches and arrests. In an era with politicized law enforcement, what could go wrong?

College towns are not only getting bluer, but getting bluer by higher margins and driving higher turnout for Democrats in elections — in some cases, providing the party with enough force to soundly trounce Republicans in statewide elections.

Cars were seen lining up outside Carlee Russell's Alabama home on Sunday, just a day after her 26th birthday. A dozen cars lined the driveway and around the home, and drew the attention of police in Hoover, Alabama, who drove past the home as people entered and left. Police said Russell delayed additional requests to interview her again about her supposed July 13 disappearance. Russell vanished after calling 911 to report a toddler wandering along an Alabama highway.

Former Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) announced Monday that she’s running for governor in New Hampshire, capping off speculation about her plans on the open gubernatorial seat. “The battle to protect our Live Free or Die way of life must continue. I’m running for Governor because New Hampshire is one election away from becoming Massachusetts – from becoming something we are not,” Ayotte said in a statement that touched on issues including crime, energy costs and the economy. “I was born here and raised here. I raised my kids here, and you know what? I am going to die here because...

Constitutional attorney Jonathan Turley, a George Washington law professor known for his liberal views, expressed his shock that the FBI hid an FD-1023 informant document corroborating investigators’ findings that Joe and Hunter Biden appear to have benefited from an international bribery scheme. Turley appeared on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream and brilliantly laid out why the FBI’s reluctance to release the lightly redacted document to the public is so problematic. Transcript follows below: BREAM: The FD-1023 form that Senator Grassley released, the FBI was not happy about that. They said that it actually could create danger and safety issues...

The going rate for a child – either to be sold into sexual slavery or killed and harvested for organs – is around $150,000.To those who value greed over the most fundamental of basic decencies, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the refugee crisis it has sparked is not a humanitarian catastrophe but the business opportunity of a lifetime.“This is just a sweet shop for them at the moment,” says Dean, a former British soldier who now works for MitMark, a private risk advisory company that ‘fell into’ trying to combat human trafficking after arriving near the Medyka crossing in...

Palestinian news site Amad as well as other sites have an opinion piece by Jordanian Ibrahim Abu Atila that asks Arabs to stop being coy and admit that their enemy is Jews, not "Zionists." Those of us who speak simply and who do not know theorizing and embellishment of speech and those who are not affected by what the media promotes say that those who are hostile to us are the Jews.. while those who assume in themselves culture and openness to the world say that those who are hostile to us are the Zionists... Both of these statements are...

(The Center Square) – Members of the Navajo Nation in southeastern U.S. say the federal government is leaving their people behind with its energy policies, crippling their economy and leaving more people in poverty. Republicans on the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources are attempting to overturn such Biden administration policies, including the Department of Interior’s land withdrawal and ban on oil and gas leasing outside of Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, where members of the Navajo tribe reside. The DOI issued a Public Land Order in June imposing a 10-mile buffer zone around Chaco Culture National Historical Park for...

A woman was found dead after an apparent encounter with a grizzly bear near Yellowstone National Park in Montana on Saturday. The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) said investigators confirmed grizzly bear tracks at the scene, adding the investigation is ongoing. The woman was discovered on the Buttermilk Trail, an area about eight miles west of West Yellowstone. The Custer Gallatin National Forest, which borders Yellowstone in southeastern Montana, issued an emergency closure of the area “for human safety.”

Rapper Ice Cube discussed the dangers of “cancel culture” and declared that now is the time to fight for freedom of speech during an interview with Piers Morgan on his “Uncensored” show. “People are very polarized in all kinds of ways. People are afraid to speak out because of the cancer culture — cancel; I said cancer — cancel culture that we have today,” Ice Cube said. “So I just think, you know, people are afraid, and they’re running to their corners,” he said “In a way, it is a cancer, cancel culture,” Morgan said. “It behaves like that.” “It...

The Chinese embassy in Japan said on Monday that NATO's plan to expand into the Asia-Pacific violates U.N. rules and hoped Japan, in its interaction with NATO, would refrain from actions that undermine trust among countries in the region.

In a direct challenge to the Biden family narrative, Hunter Biden’s former best friend, who served as a director of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma along with him, will reportedly say that Hunter Biden put his father on the phone roughly two dozen times as Hunter spoke to his foreign business partners or business investors. Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed he did not speak with his son about Hunter’s foreign business dealings. Devon Archer, 48, will testify before the House Oversight Committee, and is expected to say the calls happened in his presence, The New York Post reported, adding that...

Three people have died from a listeria outbreak in the state of Washington, the Department of Health there reported on July 21. A total of five adults over 60 years of age are known to have developed “severe infections” from Listeria monocytogenes (listeriosis), including the three who died. All five had “compromised immune systems,” the health department said in the public statement. Listeria is a serious infection that most commonly comes from food that is contaminated with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Two of the infected adults were female and three...

"[God] caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" (1 Pet. 1:3). Everyone receives an eternal inheritance—either Heaven or Hell. We have seen several aspects of the believer's inheritance, and will see more in future days. But realize that unbelievers also will receive an inheritance, for Jesus will say to them, "Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. . . . And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life" (Matt. 25:41,...

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. changed tactics Sunday and demanded for the first time an investigation into possible corruption by President Joe Biden, his party’s standard bearer. Kennedy’s request was prompted by the release last week of an FBI informant report that alleged that Biden was part of a $10 million bribery scheme involving an Ukraine company that hired his son Hunter. The report released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) alleges Burisma Holdings founder Mykola Zlochevsky told a the informant that he was “coerced” into paying the Bidens $10 million to get a Ukrainian investigation shut down. “I...

Police in Ohio unleashed a canine on a [black trucker] who had exited his vehicle with his hands raised after a traffic stop earlier this month, according to officials. The incident unfolded on July 4 after law enforcement officers engaged in the lengthy pursuit of a semi-tractor trailer driven by 23-year-old Jadarrius Rose.

Turns out the answer wasn’t blowin’ in the wind. The 1960s and ’70s were filled with protest songs against the Vietnam War, discrimination, and The Man! While heartfelt, these songs they didn’t do much except create an artsy activist political class committed to resisting anything resembling hard work to suppress the pending wave of innovation. Songs can be inspirational, but they aren’t instruction manuals. With an air of despair, Bob Dylan’s 1963 “Blowin’ in the Wind” asked lots of breezy questions. I think “Puff the Magic Dragon” had more answers. Then Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s “Ohio” in 1970 offered...
