New evidence has surfaced which indicates Englishmen in the American colonies had the right to keep and bear arms before the right was codified in England. In 1606, King James I granted perpetual rights to arms for the Virginia colonies, which covered what would become the southern colonies during the 1600s. From The History of Bans on Types of Arms Before 1900, by David Kopel and Joseph Greenlee, Law review article, 165 pages, 2021. In the early history section of the article, one startling fact revealed was the Royal Charter of King James I, in 1606, granted to members of...

Remdesivir may be the most despised drug in American history, earning the nickname Run Death Is Near for its lethal record during COVID. Experts claimed that it would stop COVID; instead, it stopped kidney function, then blasted the liver and other organs. Now this reviled destroyer of kidneys has been approved by the FDA for COVID treatment of kidney patients. Does anybody else feel as if the FDA is shoving its power in our faces and laughing at us? I've been joining online support groups for people who lost loved ones to the Remdesivir Protocol — a nightmarish sequence in...

As parts of the Northern Hemisphere reach heat close to the limits of human survival, Chinese leader Xi Jinping declared in remarks reported Wednesday that Beijing alone will decide how — and how quickly — it addresses climate change. China’s world-leading emissions totaled 11.4 billion tons of carbon dioxide in 2022, according to the Global Carbon Project, a decline of less than 1 percent from 2021 levels. China has surpassed the United States as the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter, and approved the construction of dozens of coal plants last year even as it added more renewable power. China would...

I reported that Initial reports claimed that President Obama was the second paddleboarder, so I’m far from surprised when that was the only information the police hid. There is a great chance that President Barrack Obama was the second paddleboarder. pic.twitter.com/qc6uen4UXf— Dom Lucre | Breaker of Narratives (@dom_lucre) July 28, 2023

The mainstream media wall of silence protecting America's First Family has been crumbling for some time, but now its whole rotten foundation may collapse. And when those bricks come tumbling down, Joe Biden better cover his head. Wednesday's jaw-dropping implosion of Hunter Biden's sweetheart plea deal – delivered to him on a silver platter by his daddy's Justice Department – is too shocking for even the left-wing lapdog press to completely ignore. When Federal Judge Maryellen Noreika blew a faint breath at the proposed agreement, it fell apart like a house of cards. The judge simply asked government prosecutors and...

More than 100 transgender men have entered the Miss Italy pageant this week, according to an activist leading a protest against recent comments by the pageant’s organizer, who said trans women wouldn’t be allowed to compete. The comments came after another European pageant, Miss Netherlands, crowned its first transgender winner, Rikkie Valerie Kollé, this month. About a week later, Patrizia Mirigliani, the official organizer of Miss Italy, told an Italian radio station that Miss Italy wouldn’t allow trans women to compete. “Lately, beauty contests have been trying to make the news using strategies that I think are a bit absurd,”...

Scientists are running out of extreme adjectives to describe the state of the world’s oceans.Global sea surface temperatures are spiking off the charts. The North Atlantic Ocean, in particular, has for months been engulfed in what scientists have said is an “unprecedented” marine heat wave. The Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean basin have also been unusually warm. The waters off the coast of Florida topped 100 degrees F multiple times this week — temperatures comparable to a hot tub.What’s more, some scientists say the worst may be yet to come.“We’re not even at the height of the summer,” said Svenja...

We are instinctually drawn to leaders who can take a beating and get back up. Before American education was dumbed down to little more than indoctrination programs for brainwashing kids into believing that everything is "racist" and "sexist," most high school curricula included an introduction to Joseph Campbell's conception of the "Hero's Journey." Having deconstructed mythologies, folktales, and religious parables across cultures, Campbell diagramed common themes present in their structure. In seventeen stages that appear in various forms from one story to the next, every hero's journey includes (1) a departure from the comforts of home, (2) trials and heartache...

Lions Led by DonkeysThe 248-year-old institution that this country depends upon to fight and win our wars has lost its focus, which is, “to win our nation’s wars.” Preparing to do that is one of the most complex tasks on earth. There is no profession more complex, more dangerous, or more crucial to the country’s survival than the United States Army. But its focus on “woke” social solutions has diluted the necessary focus on that duty. The Army has thousands of magnificent and highly skilled officers and enlisted men and women who perform continuously at the highest levels. Yet, as...

Ukrainian forces pressed their counteroffensive through the Russian-occupied southeast on Thursday, capturing the village of Staromaiorske in a campaign to drive a wedge through Russian defensive positions. The counteroffensive has focused on securing villages on the southward push and areas around the eastern city of Bakhmut, taken by Russian forces in May after months of battles. Ukrainian officials have reported slow, steady progress. Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged intensified Ukrainian attacks over the last few days, but said they had made no headway.

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemLuke 24 On the Road to Emmaus 13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles[a] from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; 16 but they were kept from recognizing him. 17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?” They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are...

The presence of DNA in Covid “vaccines” raises serious concerns about potential long-term health impacts, as it can influence the cell’s nucleus for years, turning our bodies into mRNA and spike protein factories.Toronto-based Dr. Chris Shoemaker, a leading voice warning against the potential dangers of COVID-19 genetic gene therapy injections, sat down with RAIR Foundation USA to debunk previous claims about these vaccines. Dr. Shoemaker highlighted that the injections contain not only mRNA but also a significant amount of DNA – a revelation that contradicts earlier assurances.“We initially believed that these shots contained something called RNA, a form of genetic...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress has approved two measures to undo federal protections for the lesser prairie chicken and northern long-eared bat — two endangered animals that have seen their populations plummet over the years. In separate votes Thursday, the House gave final legislative approval to rescind protections for the lesser prairie chicken — a rare prairie bird once thought to number in the millions, but now hover around 30,000, officials said — and the long-eared bat, one of 12 bat types decimated by a fungal disease called white-nose syndrome. Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, the top Democrat on the natural resources...

Progressive Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, a new member of the "The Squad," faced waves of mockery on Twitter about his "thirst strike" protest lasting less than 10 hours. "Yesterday was incredible. I was honored to be joined at my thirst strike by workers in Texas and across the nation - and by lots of colleagues pushing for federal heat safety protections," the congressman tweeted Wednesday. "9 hours without water or food, but I’m more energized than ever to get this done." Many commentators across Twitter saw the demonstration as far less of an achievement, with some claiming the premise of...

With every passing day it becomes more and more clear that we have a President who has been for years, and may still be, in simplest terms, on the take. Using family members as fronts, and the prerogatives of elected office as bait, he has presided over a bribe-collection business that has leveraged U.S. foreign policy and foreign aid to rake in millions for the clan, mostly or entirely from business interests aligned with the worst of our adversaries on the foreign stage. In your wildest dreams, could you ever have imagined that the U.S. presidency could sink so low?...

The Weisberg Incident – 16,433 bodies in Woodland Hills The Abortion Holocaust, part 1 In 1980 Malvin Weisberg, who lived in an upscale neighborhood in Woodland Hills, on the western side of L.A.’s San Fernando Valley, began making payments on a large (20’x8’x8’) land/sea storage container from the Martin Container company in Wilmington. Weisberg supposedly needed the steel box to store tennis court lights. Weisberg defaulted on his payments for the container until finally the Martin company came on February 3, 1982 to repossess the large box. On February 4, when workers opened the doors to the steel box, now...

House Republicans have floated launching an impeachment inquiry against President Biden amid newly surfaced allegations that suggest his involvement in the business dealings his son, Hunter. But can congressional lawmakers initiate the use of that constitutional tool for alleged treason, bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors that transpired before holding the office of the presidency? "The answer is clear," Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Fox News Digital. "No one knows." Article II, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution states: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment...

Hunter Biden admitted to a federal judge Wednesday that he received over $600,000 from a Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-backed company, contradicting President Biden’s insistence that nobody from his family "made money from China." Hunter made his first appearance in a Delaware federal court Wednesday, pleading not guilty after Judge Maryellen Noreika rejected his plea deal that was criticized by Republicans as too lenient. Prosecutors said in their proposed plea agreement with Hunter that he received $664,000 from a "Chinese infrastructure investment company," according to the official court transcript. Hunter then confirmed to the judge that he earned $664,000 from a...

In an interview, ex-husband of First Lady Dr. Jill Biden strongly criticized what he referred to as the “Biden crime family.” He asserted that this influential family is now directing their focus on former President Donald Trump in a manner similar to how they mistreated him during their divorce almost half a century ago.
