Tucker Carlson scored an impressive “get” with the posting to Twitter at 1 AM this morning of the first half of a two-part interview with Devon Archer (embedded below), following his closed-door testimony earlier this week. I wonder how he or his staff managed to persuade Archer to apparently travel to Maine, and what preliminaries preceded the video recording of the interview? I was surprised at how relaxed and friendly, overall, the interview seemed. Archer was not completely incautious in his answers to fairly probing questions, but he did relax and smile a lot more than I expected. Both men...

Beer, a fermented beverage made from grains and yeast, is a popular drink all over the world. There are many different types of beer, although they are usually broken up into two basic categories: ale and lager. The term lager is often interchanged with “beer”, especially outside of Germany, which is why some consumers make a distinction between beer and ale, rather than lager and ale. The difference between beer and ale has to do with the way in which is it brewed, and how the yeast ferments. Before hops became widespread in Europe, ale was a beer created without...

More than 100 Democrats are calling on Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to schedule votes on gun violence prevention legislation, the latest push by members of the minority party to spark action on gun reform. In a letter to McCarthy on Thursday, the Democrats — all members of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force — asked that McCarthy bring firearm-related measures to the floor “as soon as possible.” The lawmakers also laid out a “new standing request” that if leadership is ever forced to change the vote schedule or cancel votes altogether — which happened last week — that they would...

Gee, who woulda thunk? A couple of data points to highlight the construct of something we have predicted for a year. Those who control the illusion of choice within each club, RNC and DNC, have always looked to be constructing a 2024 outcome where Gavin Newsom competes against Ron DeSantis.

Sunday, Aug. 2. Gen. BUFORD's cavalry, artillery and a supporting infantry force, yesterday crossed the Rappahannock at the railroad station. Thence with his cavalry and artillery he proceeded toward Culpepper, driving STUART's cavalry before him. When near Culpepper Gen. BUFORD encountered a large rebel force of infantry and artillery, and a fierce fight ensued, lasting until dark, when he withdrew to a strong position east of Brandy Station. The loss on both sides was considerable. This reconnoissance confirms the concentration of LEE's forces near Culpepper, and indicated that his present headquarters are at Stevensburgh, four miles southeast of Culpepper. The...

Wednesday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) insisted that despite the seeming double standard of justice within the Biden administration, former President Donald Trump would win in 2024. “How did Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden get away with top secret classified documents?” host Sean Hannity said. “Had it — in Hillary’s case, how did she get away without a raid? How did Joe get away without a raid? How did Hillary get away with deleting subpoenaed emails? Nothing happened, no raid, no arrests, nothing, no charges.” “Well, it’s a double standard,” Graham replied. “The only reason...

You can be certain that the “spectre of communism” is spreading when “elites” stop pretending to be bound by any rule of law and instead project their power by resorting to open threats of violence. In classical Greek mythology, hubris is a fatal flaw that inevitably leads to tragedy. No matter how admired the hero, any mortal who dares to behave like a god is punished in the end. Mankind never seems to learn this lesson. The "elites" of every generation delude themselves into believing that they are superhuman and inherently different from those they consider beneath them. They are...

Apparently, in a Wisconsin town, it is illegal to preach the gospel and protest at a drag show for children. Local police arrested several youths while they were practicing their First Amendment right to engage in free speech in a public area at a public event. It seems those supporting these shows are willing to use the power of the government to punish those who dare to speak out against it. The incident happened on Saturday in Watertown, Wisconsin: Police arrested and detained several young people in Watertown, Wisconsin, on Saturday while they were preaching the gospel at a public...

In a remarkable twist to former President Donald Trump’s recent indictment, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, the judge assigned to Trump’s case in Washington, D.C., has previous connections with a law firm that worked closely with Hunter Biden and Ukrainian energy firm Burisma. Judge Chutkan spent 12 years specializing in white collar litigation and antitrust defense at BSF before her nomination by former President Obama. Her legal career includes stints at other private law firms and serving as a public defender in Washington D.C. According to The Daily Caller, internal emails show that Hunter Biden had stated that the law...

VIDEOMunchkins are cute li'l critters. However you don't want to assign any responsibilities to them since they are also completely helpless and unable to function in real world situations. An example of this is the Munchkin known as Janet Yellen who has proved herself to be completely useless as the Secretary of Treasury. You can see Munchkin Yellen's helplessness on display culminating in the downgrading of the USA debt rating. The poor Munchkin can't figure out why that happened.

A 3D replica of a clouded leopard’s fangs. Machetes used by Arunachal Pradesh’s Nyishi tribe traditionally incorporate the animal’s jawbone. Photograph: Arunachal Ivory and Ornaments In the lowland rainforests of Arunachal Pradesh in north-east India, tigers, clouded leopards, eagles and hornbills dot the landscape. The area is also home to the Nyishi community, the largest Indigenous tribe in the state, where the men traditionally don a byopa, an elaborate handwoven cane cap with the upper beak and casque of a great hornbill attached to the top edge, and an eagle’s claw at the back. They also wield a machete fitted...

Mayor Adams’ administration is looking at over 3,000 sites to place asylum seekers — and would not say whether the possible locations include Central Park — in the wake of the mayor’s comments that the migrant crisis is “coming to a neighborhood near you.” There are nearly 108,000 people at 194 shelters across the Big Apple — pushing city officials to get creative when looking for places to erect new migrant housing. Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom skirted around whether migrant tents would be set up in Central Park, telling reporters on Wednesday that while there is a “constantly refreshing” list...

The radiation belts around Earth are loaded with dangerous protons and electrons that can damage spacecraft. Now researchers are launching experiments to see if they can clear away the high-energy particles that pose the hazard by blasting them with radio waves.When humans began exploring space, the first major find was the Van Allen radiation belts, doughnut-shaped zones of magnetically trapped, highly energetic charged particles. The Van Allen belts consist mainly of two rings: The inner belt starts roughly 1000 kilometers above Earth’s surface and extends up to 9600 km, while the outer belt stretches from about 13 500 to 58...

Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz said that Special Counsel Jack Smith could himself be indicted if the indictment of former President Donald Trump is thrown out. Smith secured a four-count indictment of Trump relating to his efforts to contest the results of the 2020 election after he previously secured a 37-count indictment against Trump in June based on an investigation into allegations surrounding classified documents, which was supplemented with a superseding indictment issued Thursday that included charges against Carlos De Oliveira, a maintenance worker at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida estate owned by former President Trump. Trump faces arraignment on the charges...

U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher, (R) Wisconsin, wrote an article for foxnews.com, in which he reports that the Chinese Communist Party is now busily at work rewriting the world’s best-selling book. If they succeed in their venture, we’ll go from “the greatest story ever told” to “the greatest story ever distorted.”

The House Oversight Committee released the full transcript from Monday's Devon Archer interview, in which he testified that Hunter Biden had his father on speakerphone 20 times around business associates and that Burisma officials did not want a Ukrainian prosecutor fired because they had him “under control.” Archer worked alongside Hunter Biden for the Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm before both of them became board members of Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company, in 2014. Here is the full transcript of Devon Archer's testimony: SCRIBD version at link. Downloadable Version at link............ According to Archer’s testimony, Burisma officials did not want...

False Premises of Democratic Fearmongering. Hate and fear might as well be the GOP’s motto. And while there was a time when a liberal like me saying that would be accurately labeled hyperbolic, that time has passed. Show me what, aside from hate and fear, the modern Republican Party is all about. Columnist Rex Huppke, writing for USA Today, July 16, 2023 Huppke’s comment is something we hear all the time. The campaign to dehumanize MAGA Republicans as hatemongers and fearmongers is a staple of the liberal media, is the playbook for Democrat politicians all the way up to President...

Heavyweight oil producer Saudi Arabia will extend a 1-million-barrel-per day voluntary crude oil output cut into September, in the third month of such declines, the state-owned Saudi Press Agency said Thursday.
