WASHINGTON, Friday, Sept. 18. The editor of the Star, who left Culpepper yesterday, says, in his paper of to-day: On Wednesday night the Union line extended from Stevensburgh through Culpepper Court-house to the Stone Mountain House, four miles north of the Court-house. Yesterday morning the line was changed, the army having advanced to a close proximity to the Rapidan River, where the rebel corps of A.P. HILL and EWELL are believed to be now strongly fortified. The Army of the Potomac never was in as fine a condition as it is at this moment -- so healthy, so cleanly clad,...

A recent study conducted at the University of Arkansas finds that men with heightened physical strength are perceived as more conservative by others. The study found that men who seem fit and healthy and have some bulk are considered right-wing, while thin or svelte and weak-looking men were not assumed to lean right. The results came from a series of four experiments that sought to establish a link between political orientation and a fit physique, according to the Daily Mail. Viewers were presented with photos of male bodies with faces covered and asked to rank which ideology they thought the...

@P_McCulloughMD Our research papers show COVID-19 vaccine myocarditis is common, serious, and fatal. Cannot be blamed on prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. Extremely concerned about cases if cardiac arrest 2+ years after ill-advised shots. Only hope until we know more is detoxification.

9 Democrat-run states, California, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Oregon, Rhode Island and Washington, have moved to ban cars by 2035. The Biden administration has exploited EPA emissions standards to accomplish the same thing. The green push to ban cars and force everyone to buy electric vehicles is a core part of the program and also highly unpopular with families struggling with high prices and inflation. Electric vehicles are far more expensive and much less reliable than cars and most can’t afford them. 59% of Americans oppose a ban on cars while only 40% support it. But, in...

The Democratic-led council’s Cultural Affairs Committee is set to hold a public hearing Tuesday on a proposal to yank artworks from city property dedicated to historical figures such as George Washington, Peter Stuyvesant and Christopher

The Minneapolis Police Department is suffering from historically low staffing shortages as they deal with the lowest level of uniformed personnel in four decades, according to the Star Tribune. The city’s department has just 585 sworn officers and out of 22 cities, it has the lowest ratio of officers to population, the Tribune reported. The Minneapolis police department has also leaned on other law enforcement partners as well as civilian analysts to help out with some of their work. Over the past few years, Minneapolis has experienced the worst of the police staffing shortages in the US. “This is absolutely...

Everybody I talk to feels a gnawing tingle of dread in their livers and lights as our world tilts into the season of darkness. The Party of Chaos rules solely on the basis of insults to its citizens. They are certainly trying to provoke something like civil war, something they can label “white supremacy,” as if that would justify declaring a state of siege — an emergency suspension of rights to speak, to move, to assemble, to resist the sticky pseudopods of the malevolent Blob that Washington has become. These insults are all obvious untruths, and behind them, you can...

Joe Biden, America’s oldest ever president, said Monday night the focus on his age as he seeks a return to the White House in 2024 is understood before boldly declaring he is running again because Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans wanted to “destroy” U.S. democracy. The octogenarian addressed the issue of his age during an elite fundraiser at a Broadway theatre in New York, declaring his experience helped him deal with crises like Ukraine and coronavirus, AFP reports. Funds raised at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre gala were destined for the Biden Victory Fund.

On the night of January 31, 2018, the spies, the analysts, the technicians, and the operations chiefs of the Mossad, the State of Israel’s fabled intelligence arm, were gathered inside the agency’s state-of-the-art situation room on the outskirts of Tel Aviv to oversee an operation that they all knew could turn out to be momentous for their country—or, if things went awry, disastrous. Yossi Cohen, the dapper chief of the agency, dressed in his usual crisply ironed white shirt, sat at a desk, keeping his eye on the time, while the whole room was in a state of tense expectation,...

@RepMTG Rep. @ByronDonalds and I are having a debate about Ukraine funding in his proposed Continuing Resolution. I want to clarify just how the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative is used by Joe Biden to fuel his proxy war with Russia. The USAI is not just training, it’s funding the war. And that’s why I’m a NO vote on the DoD appropriations bill and the proposed short-term CR.

Authenticated documents from Hunter Biden’s laptop reveal that Joe Biden had several email aliases, such as: Peter Henderson: 67stingray@gmx.com Robin Ware: robinware456@gmail.com Robert L. Peters: Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov The last of those addresses was a government account, as evidenced by the domain “pci.gov”. On June 7, 2015, Kathy Chung, a government-paid assistant of then-Vice President Biden, sent an email to his government alias and to Hunter with the subject line, “See below. These are all cell numbers.” The email, sent to Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov and hbiden@rosemontseneca.com, contains the cell phone numbers of these 25 high-level current and former government officials that wielded an enormous...

While police killings declined in the aftermath of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests, a recent study found that there was a jump in homicides as police became “less proactive” due to worries about public perception and lawsuits. The Sept. 14 study analyzed two major waves of BLM protests—those following the death of Michael Brown, from 2014 to 2015, and those following the death of George Floyd, from 2020 to 2021. Mr. Brown was an 18-year-old black man shot by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. Mr. Floyd, 46, died after a white police officer knelt over his...
