How much failure is enough failure, because Republicans have had a lot of failure lately and we’re looking forward to more failure next year and perhaps we ought to do something to start getting ourselves on the road to the opposite of failure. And the opposite of failure is the opposite of Ronna McDaniel. Doubt me? Here’s the kiss o’ death – Frank “Lumpy” Luntz just said, “Ronna McDaniel is the @GOP’s secret weapon. An amazing speaker and smart strategist.” That seals it. Good-bye Ronna, it’s time to go. Adios. Auf Wiedersehen. Whatever the hell is Chinese for, “Later, dude.”...

It was only a matter of time. Israeli forces have cut the Gaza Strip in two, encircled Gaza City, and placed a chokehold on Hamas. They’re closing in on the reported nerve center of the terror group. Israeli soldiers captured Hamas’ parliament chamber yesterday. So, it’s not all that surprising that Israel has broken Hamas’ grip in Northern Gaza (via Reuters):Hamas has lost control of northern Gaza as thousands of residents have moved south, Israel's military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a televised briefing on Wednesday. "We saw 50,000 Gazans move from the northern Gaza Strip to the...

One of the most ardent and consistent voices revealing the horrors of Islam has been that of Ayaan Hirsi Ali. For more than two decades, she has warned the world how dangerous the religion in which she grew up is. Ali recalled in a recent column that the 9/11 attacks led her to rethink her Muslim faith."They had done it in the name of my religion, Islam," she wrote, referring to the 9/11 terrorists. "I was a Muslim then, although not a practising one. If I truly condemned their actions, then where did that leave me? The underlying principle that...

In a sane world (yes, that disqualifies ours), the justification of the horrendously bloody Oct. 7 Hamas massacre by numerous Islamic authorities would have been enough to put an end forever to the comforting fiction that Islam is a religion of peace that condemns terrorism. One place, however, where this myth is alive and well, despite the mountain of theological and historical evidence, as well as contemporary news to the contrary is the Vatican. Pope Francis has just released a new book in which he proclaims once again that Islam is benign and cuddly, to be met by Westerners with...

We keep hearing that inflation is down, lower than a year ago or in the right direction or some other explanation like that. It's about what you'd hear from a White House managing a bad message. And then mom goes to the grocery store and comes home shaking her head and looking at the bill. This is when inflation goes from being a news story to a family conversation. This is from Steve Cortes: In fact, the latest survey results from the battleground swing states of America finds that food insecurity is a foremost worry of American citizens. My organization,...

The issue of voter fraud and election integrity dominated much of Trump's presidency, and by its end in 2020, many of his supporters raised concerns about the credibility of the electoral system. Well, voter fraud appears to have metastasized and is now out of control. We saw that in Arizona's gubernatorial race, and we see it all across America.In recent years, concerns about voter fraud have grown significantly, with many individuals asserting that there are systemic issues within the American electoral system.One striking example cited by those raising concerns about voter fraud is the Kentucky gubernatorial election, which looked like...

“Seamus Bruner’s newest investigation—Controligarchs—peers into the future and provides a haunting and revelatory exposé of the leftist elite’s playbook for the next five years,” Schweizer said. Preeminent investigative journalist Seamus Bruner has worked with Peter Schweizer for more than twelve years. As Schweizer’s top researcher for over a decade, he led the teams behind runaway New York Times bestsellers Red-Handed, Profiles in Corruption, and Clinton Cash. These findings sparked multiple FBI investigations and congressional probes into the Clintons and the Bidens. Bruner’s work has been featured on the front pages of every major publication from the New York Post and...

"I think something very bad is happening to the left - it has become very clear that people who consider themselves democrats, liberals, and progressives, support a brand of totalitarian terror that oppresses women and minorities," said chairperson of the Labor party, MK Merav Michaeli, in an interview this week with Politico magazine. "The more left you go, the greater the confusion. Something is very damaged along the way. I don't see how waving the Hamas flag and calling for the murder of Jews is pro-Palestinian." "When I talk to people outside of Israel, it is important for me to...

It's something that's been debated by Bible scholars since the Earth was created some 6,023 years ago: what will the Mark of the Beast mentioned in the book of Revelation turn out to be? Well, it will no longer be debated, because we found a Calvary Chapel pastor and asked him, and he said it will definitely be one of these 17 things -- unless something happens in the Middle East that changes his mind next week: 1. Starbucks holiday cup - If you've gotten a peppermint mocha latte this November, it may already be too late for you. 2....

Passing the bar exam is no longer the only way to become a lawyer in Oregon. Students at the state’s three law school can now bypass the grueling two-day test by logging hundreds of hours at a law firm and then submitting samples of their work for review under a new system approved last week by the Oregon Supreme Court. The Supervised Practice Portfolio Examination makes Oregon the first state in the nation to allow students to become lawyers through a post-graduation apprenticeship, though backers believe it won’t be the last.

In 2022, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) placed a large bet on an experimental drug developed to limit brain damage after strokes. The agency committed up to $30 million to administer a compound called 3K3A-APC in a study of 1400 people shortly after they experience an acute ischemic stroke, a perilous condition in which a clot blocks blood flow to part of the brain. The gamble seemed warranted. Lab studies, most by a longtime grantee, prominent University of Southern California (USC) neuroscientist Berislav Zlokovic, had generated promising data. A small safety study of the drug, sponsored by a...

They must have felt like gods, the Hamas terrorists who invaded southern Israel on October 7. Indeed, they enjoyed almost godlike powers, first blinding Israel's remote-control border cameras and then bulldozing through the security fence as though it were hardly there. All so they could lord their powers over Israeli civilians — raping, torturing, murdering... and not always in that order. The "lucky" Israelis survived long enough to be dragged back to Gaza to be used as human shields and worse. Hamas even had the ambitions of gods. A report earlier this week claimed that captured maps and reconnaissance indicated...

A just released House Judiciary Committee report reveals that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) collaborated with Stanford University's Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) and big tech companies to censor true information, jokes, and political opinions posted by Republicans and conservatives. These posts were labeled as "misinformation" while false information posted by Democrats and liberals was untouched by the censors. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said "the DHS admitted they could not legally interfere with free speech and enlisted Stanford's EIP to do the dirty work. This dirty work included mentioning that tech companies that did not cooperate with...

According to Arestovich, the policy of the current Ukrainian president is becoming ineffective. As Arestovich notes,...

Washington, D.C., November 14, 2023 Quick update this Tuesday morning from Washington. As many of you know, Congress is once again up against a deadline to pass legislation funding the federal government’s discretionary spending. If you read no further, read this: I know I sound like a broken record, but it is NOT MY JOB to keep the federal government open and running at all costs, no matter what, regardless of how much debt we must take on. I vehemently disagree with that. We’re approaching $34 trillion in national debt, yet most of the media is oblivious to this crisis,...

A shocking new video montage of President Joe Biden’s declining mental capacity went viral after being posted on X earlier this week. The video, put out by the Republican National Committee’s research division, contains several clips of Biden mumbling and how he appears to lose track of what he’s trying to say. Other clips show Biden rambling and confused. Watch.......VIDEO AT LINK..................... Biden’s worsening mental condition is having a huge effect on his polls as voters realize he is not capable of doing his job. Earlier this year, one physician said she didn’t believe the president could pass a rudimentary...
