Eric Stewart published several reports in which he claimed that white people saw black citizens as a threat. For his research, he received at least $3.5 million in grants. Eric Stewart, professor of criminology at Florida State University, has been accused of falsifying data for studies in which he pushed the narrative that racism is systemic. It was known that at least six of Stewart's articles published in major academic journals such as Criminology and Law and Society Review from 2003 to 2019 have been retracted. "The academic was fired after almost 20 years of his data — including figures...

The left has to have scapegoats to prop up its sagging Jan. 6 “insurrection” narrative, and so Joe Biggs of the Proud Boys has just been given seventeen years in prison for his actions on that fateful day, which involved nothing more than tearing down a fence. If one guy removing a single barrier can bring the government of a superpower perilously close to being overthrown, we’re in bigger trouble than we thought. Biggs would be the first to tell you that we are, but not in the way that the leftist elites want us to think. The Post Millennial...

President Biden said Monday that he was at the World Trade Center site in New York City one day after the 9/11 attacks — despite his own autobiography placing him in DC. The 80-year-old president also claimed he saw the fireball caused by the plane that struck the Pentagon in northern Virginia from Washington’s Union Station, when his own book says he merely saw “a brown haze of smoke.” “Ground Zero in New York — I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building. And I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell,” Biden...

The division in America doesn’t just allow for people to access luxurious material goods, but also lets them act out a life of luxurious beliefs. Void of real problems like choosing between eating or paying the rent and having legitimate concerns over their physical safety, America’s progressive elitists prescribe unrealistic solutions to problems they are personally distant from, which they can afford to be wrong about because the ramifications of failure don’t usually occur on their side of the tracks. Reality begins where luxury ends, however, because it’s difficult to maintain a lavish fantasy when a nonbeliever robs you of...

[Catholic Caucus] The Lies of SynodalityTwo recent news stories expose the lies that make up “synodality,” that vaunted effort of Church leaders that has been called the “modus vivendi et operandi of the Church.” Before we get to the lies, let’s first review what the Vatican claims “synodality” is: Synodality denotes the particular style that qualifies the life and mission of the Church, expressing her nature as the People of God journeying together and gathering in assembly, summoned by the Lord Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit to proclaim the Gospel. Synodality ought to be expressed in the...

The Ukrainian military said Monday that it recaptured strategic gas and oil drilling platforms from Russia in the Black Sea and claimed gains in occupied areas near Bakhmut, a city in eastern Ukraine left in ruins after the war’s longest and deadliest fighting. The recapture of the so-called Boyko Towers platforms provides an energy source and takes back an asset that Russia seized in 2015 and used to launch helicopters, Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense said. “Russia has been deprived of the ability to fully control the waters of the Black Sea, and this makes Ukraine many steps closer to regaining...

Ancient and medieval astronomers could not explain the apparent movements of the heavenly bodies while shackled to a Ptolemaic paradigm of an Earth-centered universe. Thus they spun out ad hoc rescue hypotheses in the form of “epicycle” theory to explain away the anomalies. Their primary concern was the rescue of the theory rather than a reconsideration of it, which forced reality into a Procrustean bed—producing conformity by arbitrary means. Likewise, today’s project known as “anti-racism” exhibits the same pre-Enlightenment mindset of mystical thinking that locked medieval humanity into an endless cycle of fear, superstition, and what we know today as...

I want to record a series of interviews many hours worth. And perhaps post the content later. What sort of recording device is used in these digital days?

Monday marks the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks that brought down the World Trade Center in New York City, hit the Pentagon in Virginia and a field in Shanksville, Pa., with four jets piloted by suicidal Islamic maniacs. Nearly 3,000 human beings were murdered on the spot. More die to this day after breathing toxic fumes from 9/11-tainted air. And where is Biden spending the day? Not in New York, D.C. or Shanksville. Our 80-year-old president and First Lady Jill Biden are in Alaska — Alaska! ... Joe Biden’s diss comes at a crucial time in our nation’s...

"Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Eph. 6:12). Don’t confuse prisoners of war with the enemy. Sometimes in the heat of battle we might lose perspective on who the real enemy is. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that our struggle isn't against sinful people, but against the evil system and the supernatural forces that influence their attitudes and actions. In his assault on the kingdom of God, Satan has assembled a highly organized army of...

President Biden’s niece - while working at the Obama administration’s Treasury Department - shared tips with first son Hunter Biden about China’s largest government wealth fund, which he later sought as a potential investment opportunity, according to emails on his abandoned laptop.
