Efforts by the Biden Administration to recover the $280 billion in stolen COVID relief funding have been largely unsuccessful, with only about $8 billion recovered so far. As Just The News reports, the money that has been recovered was retrieved through prosecutions by the Department of Justice (DOJ). However, a letter from Congress has raised concerns about the overwhelming failure of the Biden Administration’s attempts to recover the full $280 billion. The letter was sent to the DOJ last week by Congressman James Comer (R-Ky.), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, who expressed his belief that the majority of the...

Comedian and HBO late-night host Bill Maher said woke leftists share similarities with the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) due to their complete insistence on always judging people by race instead of character. Speaking with Joe Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience, Maher discussed the woke left’s departure from the liberalism of the past, noting that they do not support the concept of a “colorblind society.” “You’re like liberals back when they were more reasonable before they became leftists. And now every liberal kind of has to be a leftist,” Rogan said. “If you want to be on the team, you’ve...

There are now as many bombings and shootings in Sweden as there were at the height of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. There was a time when Sweden was a byword for liberal and progressive attitudes and a relaxed lifestyle. This all changed in the 1990s, when they decided that immigration should be encouraged to their country.

The left-wing news network releases a deeply misleading documentary about the reforms at New College of Florida. Earlier this week, MSNBC released a documentary about the reforms at New College of Florida titled The War on Woke. The film would more accurately be described as part of MSNBC’s ongoing war on truth. As a trustee of New College, I feel obligated to respond to three accusations in the film that are false and misleading. First, MSNBC host Alex Wagner claims that New College has recruited a disproportionate number of student athletes, enticed them with generous scholarship offers, and, despite an...

Since the creation of the Clean Water Act in 1972, the federal government has had the authority to protect bodies of water throughout the U.S. from pollution. This traditionally included wetlands, which play a vital role in feeding open bodies of water like rivers and lakes. However, thanks to a Supreme Court ruling in May, this federal protection has been removed from many crucial wetlands across the country, the Guardian reports. What happened? According to the Guardian, Michael and Chantell Sackett are Idaho residents who bought a half-acre lot in 2004 near Priest Lake, one of the state’s largest bodies...

Former Representative Peter Meijer, who lost his Republican House primary last year after voting to impeach President Donald J. Trump, has formed an exploratory committee to run for Senate in Michigan. Mr. Meijer filed paperwork with the I.R.S. this week and confirmed the creation of the committee — which allows him to raise money before formally declaring a campaign — in a text to The New York Times on Thursday. The news was previously reported by The Detroit Free Press. If he moves forward, Mr. Meijer, 35, would be the first well-known Republican to enter the race for the seat...

1) The Hitchhiker’s Guide to McConnell’s Health and a Potential Government Shutdown The Senate meets at 3 pm et today for the first time since late July. The biggest buzz around the Senate centers on the health of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). 2) Some senators want McConnell to be more transparent about his health issues as there are whispers in the Senate corridors about his fitness to serve. McConnell froze up last week during a speaking engagement in northern Kentucky. He had a similar episode in late July. 3) And there was also an issue in the spring....

Face it. No one in Washington DC wants to close the border. Republicans supporting big agriculture support open borders and cheap labor, Democrats love open borders for political gains, despite open borders meaning a flood of migrants and depressing job prospects for native born Americans. Case in point. Under the leadership of Biden (more like a followship because Biden clearly isn’t in charge of anything), the native born labor force (blue line) grew by 3.6%. However, the foreign born labor force (red line) grew by 14.6%. The media focused on 1 million jobs lost for native-born and a gain of...

A Florida-based Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Industry Operations inspector (IOI) seized a federal firearms licensee’s (FFL) completed ATF Form 4473s and bound book to take off-site to make copies violating federal law. The IOI would return the documents a week later. Last week, Kiloton Tactical joined a coalition of FFLs led by Eric Blandford of the Iraqveteran8888 YouTube channel and vowed to sue the ATF over the Biden Administration’s zero-tolerance policy for FFLs. The lawsuit has now been filed with the illegal actions of the IOI front and center in the complaint. According to 18 U.S.C....

“Robotyne has been liberated,” Ukraine’s deputy defence minister Hanna Maliar announced on August 28. Although the tiny village, which had a pre-war population of fewer than 500 people, may be of little importance in itself, it lies along a strategic road that leads to the Russian-occupied road and railway hub of Tokmak. From there, another road leads to the key city of Melitopol, which, prior to Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014, was known to Ukrainians as the “gateway” to the peninsula. Last week’s victory was therefore an important advance for Ukraine. Just a few days earlier, however, fighters...

@elonmusk To clear our platform’s name on the matter of anti-Semitism, it looks like we have no choice but to file a defamation lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League … oh the irony! ... In our case, they would potentially be on the hook for destroying half the value of the company, so roughly $22 billion. @elonmusk Based on what we’ve heard from advertisers, ADL seems to be responsible for most of our revenue loss. Giving them maximum benefit of the doubt, I don’t see any scenario where they’re responsible for less than 10% of the value destruction, so ~$4 billion....

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ~ 1 Timothy 2:1-2 Religion Forum Threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind. God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: Strength belongs to God . . . Ps. 62:11

In 1968, Pauline Kael, then The New Yorker's film critic, has famously been quoted as saying, "I can’t believe Nixon won. I don’t know anyone who voted for him.” The actual quote might actually have been a bit different, but the point remains: liberal elitists live in an echo chamber of their own ideas. On Monday, Phil Mattingly (recently named Kaitlin Collins' permanent replacement as a co-host of CNN This Morning) seemed to have his own Pauline Kael moment. Mattingly was commenting on a recent column by CNN analyst Ron Brownstein in The Atlantic entitled "Why Biden Just Can't Shake...

“Dr. Jordan B. Peterson said that he will move to broadcast publicly the social media training he was ordered to undergo by a ​​psychologist governing body that targeted Peterson for criticizing transgender ideology, climate alarmism, and the Canadian government.” (100% Transparent: Jordan Peterson Says He Will Broadcast Mandated Social Media (Re-Education) Training, Leif Le Mahieu, Daily Wire, 9/23)Evolutionary seculars cannot see that the concept of re-education is actually spiritual warfare, thus has no basis whatsoever in their own materialist worldview which claims man is his fleshy brain and its chemical interactions, firing synapses, and genome.

@iluminatibot Alex Jones is right. They hate us and want us dead.

I first met Michael Prodigalidad in 2013, at the inner-city church in Sydney where he is the pastor. He had made its excellent facilities available for a Proclaiming Creation Conference (a one-day event with visiting CMI speakers). In our brief moments of conversation, snatched between conference activities, I was fascinated to learn that he had a Ph.D. degree in chemistry from the prestigious Cambridge University in England. Cambridge staff and alumni have won over 120 Nobel prizes.So, what can take a brilliant scientist on a journey to being the pastor of a vibrant inner-city church?
