There’s always been an internal debate when thinking about President Joe Biden – you have to wonder whether he does or says something because he’s a liar or because he’s genuinely stupid. This extends back to when he was a Senator, too. Now you have to add a third option: senile. It’s tough to tell if he walks off stage with other world leaders without shaking their hands because he’s an aloof ass who looks down his nose at others or because he’s unaware of where he is. There’s no real way to know, but it’s probably safest to bet...

Russia’s foreign minister has told the UN that Ukraine’s proposed peace plan and the latest proposals to revive the Black Sea grain initiative were “not realistic”. Sergei Lavrov spoke at a press conference on 23 September after a week of intense global diplomacy at the annual gathering of world leaders at UN headquarters in New York where Ukraine and its western allies sought to drum up support for Kyiv. “It is completely not feasible,” Lavrov said of a 10-point peace blueprint promoted by Kyiv. “It is not possible to implement this. It’s not realistic and everybody understands this but, at...

1 Peter 2:24-Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For you to not waste Jesus sacrifice you first have to know what Jesus did. Notice, it says by his stripes we were healed, it didn't say we will be healed that's how God sees us because of what Jesus did, so what did Jesus do? Isaiah 53:4,5,10 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God,...

VIDEODADA!!! Are you PROUD of your little SONNY BOY now? Watch as Justin Trudeau channels his inner Fidel Castro in a CRAZED speech supporting the continuation of the bloody Ukraine War. He comes across as every bit the authoritarian as his REAL FATHER. Fortunately, as you can see, many Canadians are now reacting against this growing authoritarianism by Castro's son which he also demonstrated by clamping down on freedoms in his insane response the the 2022 Freedom Convoy in which he went so far as to order bank accounts to be frozen of those who dared to disagree with Little...

What's happening in tyranny today? Based on the news, here is a list: Trond Harald Håland is a Norwegian man who was allegedly placed in forced psychiatric treatment for more than a week for criticizing the approved COVID narrative online. Håland’s lawyer, Barbro Paulsen, says that this is likely the “most direct case” in which the Norwegian government detained someone over Facebook posts, while claiming that the country has a history of forcing people into psychiatric treatment for questioning the government. (Sounds like where Canada and the U.S. are headed.) Scott Gerber, an Ohio Northern University (ONU) constitutional law professor...

Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Republicans opened an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden because he was “being a father to his son.” Anchor Kristen Welker said, “Let me ask you about the impeachment inquiry that is going to unfold this week on Capitol Hill. I know you and your Democrats have called this pure politics. But big picture, they’re trying to see if there’s any link between Hunter Biden and the president and his business dealings. Are you comfortable of a family member profiting off the last name in this town?”

ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz said Sunday on “This Week” that a new ABC/Washington News poll showing President Joe Biden trailing former President Donald Trump by 10 points was a “tough one to spin.” Raddatz said, “Whatever caveats, whether that is an outlier, that’s a tough one to spin.” Former DNC chair Donna Brazile said, “It’s a tough one to spin, Martha. But I don’t believe Democrats should be sitting in a panic room.”

The United Nations alarmist-in-chief António Guterres called for “drastic steps” Friday to eliminate all fossil fuels in order to curb global warming. “Climate change is not just a change in the weather. It is changing life on our planet,” Guterres asserted in a Twitter (X) post. “It is killing people and devastating communities.” The U.N. chief did not share data on who exactly has died from “climate change” or which communities have been “devastated” by it, in accord with his usual practice of rhetoric-heavy, fact-light discourse.

The Army is showing no signs of curtailing its deployments to Europe as the war in Ukraine continues to grind on. On Wednesday the Army announced that about 3,400 soldiers with the 101st Airborne Division’s 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team will head to Eastern Europe this fall, as will 200 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division Headquarters. The units will deploy primarily to Romania as well in Southeastern Europe and to the continent’s “High North” region that includes Scandinavian countries, Army officials said. Among the 101st troops are infantry units from the division’s storied 187th Infantry Regiment, known as the...

Dr. Peter McCullough gave a speech at the European Parliament during a hearing hosted by five Members of the European Parliament (“MEPs”). In that speech, he said that the path forward with regard to mass vaccination for COVID-19 is clear. “No one” should “take another shot.” The hearing was scheduled to raise awareness about the World Health Organisation’s (“WHO’s”) consistent and ever-increasing power grabs. The ruling classes are continuing to push these shots on the public regardless of the evidence that they are doing more harm than good. During the hearing, McCullough was quoted as saying: “The path forward is,...

Attorney General Merrick Garland insists he doesn't know "if or how many federal agents or paid informants may have participated in the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol. Information like that is not considered necessary for me to know." FBI Director Christopher Wray says "the decisions on how many agents and paid informants might be employed and what their specific duties might be are on a 'need to know basis.' I can see no reason why Congressman Jordan (R-Ohio) or any of his colleagues would have a need to know. On a matter of national security like this it...

Canadian Liberal MP Ya'ara Saks stated Monday that the onomatopoeia "honk honk" was a coded message meaning "heil Hitler." Saks gave her testimony before Parliament on Monday, where she lamented perceived government inaction regarding the truckers. "How many guns need to be seized?" Saks asked from her podium. "How much vitriol do we have to see of 'Honk Honk' – which is an acronym for 'heil Hitler' – do we need to see on social media?"

American culture has been sent adrift. In a new short film, I show how a strange new pattern of psychopathologies has deranged our institutions and plunged our public life into hysteria, narcissism, and moral theatrics—all in the name of "care." Welcome to the Cluster B Society:

WASHINGTON—There are constants to life in the nation’s capital: sweltering summers, political dysfunction and, for much of the last 50 years, giant pandas. Later this year, though, the three pandas living in the National Zoo will be sent to China, which has the rights to pandas in captivity all over the world. Their departure will leave Washington without at least one of the rotund, cuddly-looking bears for only the second time since Richard Nixon’s breakthrough with Beijing in 1972. The breakdown in U.S.-China relations is bamboozling many in the city. Norma Valentini, a 52-year-old registered nurse who grew up in...

The amino acid creatine is essential for muscle and brain health, and people commonly use creatine supplements to improve exercise performance and increase muscle mass. Results from a clinical trial indicate that dietary creatine may also benefit individuals experiencing post-COVID-19 fatigue syndrome (also known as long COVID). In the trial, 12 people with post-COVID-19 fatigue syndrome were randomized to take a placebo or 4 grams of creatine monohydrate per day for six months. Creatine intake caused a significant increase in creatine levels in leg muscles and across the brain at both three-month and six-month follow-ups. Creatine supplementation also led to...

"Take . . . the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Eph. 6:17). To wield the sword of the Spirit is to apply specific Biblical principles to specific situations. Jesus gave us the perfect example of skillful and precise use of the sword of the Spirit. Following His baptism, "Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. And the tempter came and said to Him, 'If You are the Son of God, command that...
