Democrats have three paths to victory next November, all being eagerly embraced by Republicans.PLAN A: Enrage Republicans by bringing a string of ludicrous indictments, civil suits and ballot disqualifications against Donald Trump, thus tricking the GOP into making him the nominee.RESULT: Joe Biden easily wins a second term. If Trump behaves as we know he will, Biden wins even if he's dead.Wait, but why would Republicans make Trump the nominee just because -- OH MY GOSH, IT'S WORKING!!!When Trump declared his presidential run on Nov. 15, 2022, he was dead in the water. November, December, January, February -- polls all...

Did you see what the Washington Post did to its banner on line? (They removed War in Ukraine link from their banner) This is just one more indicator that the Ukrainian fan-boy shop in Washington, DC is shutting down.

There is a torrent of new stories popping up all over the mainstream media and it is a symbolic tolling...

Releasing in theaters on Christmas Day and starring Joel Edgerton, Callum Turner and Hadley Robinson, "The Boys in the Boat" is based on Daniel James Brown's...

Former NBA star turned television personality Charles Barkley took a shot at former President Trump for his recent rhetoric on immigration. “For a man who’s running for the most powerful position in the world to use pseudo-racist rhetoric — that’s one of the reasons I can’t vote for that guy,” Barkley said Wednesday. “Because man, he just rubs me the wrong way. And people can vote for whoever they want to. But I just do not like it at all.” Trump has come under widespread criticism in recent weeks for the way he has described the influx of immigrants coming...

NZ data shows up to 20% higher mortality for males that declines after each shot. How can there be such a large dose dependency if the shot is safe? We've always known that the Pfizer COVID vaccine kills disproportionately more males than females. Thanks to Barry Young, we can now confirm this effect in the NZ data.

In the Kazan badlands, many of the teenagers tried to make sense of their Soviet world turned upside down by flocking to the gangs...

What if the 2020 election was actually far from the most “safe and secure” in American history, as the mainstream media have relentlessly parroted over the past three years? What if Joe Biden actually lost several of the closely contested battleground states due to widespread mail-in voting fraud? What if Donald Trump actually won the 2020 election? These questions have been dogging me ever since the 2020 election was called in favor of Joe Biden. However, thanks to a new poll conducted by the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports, we may be able to answer these taboo questions with a...
