Listen, I’d support a zombie for president if they promised to nominate originalists for the Supreme Court and deregulate the economy. Do whatever you have to do. But stop telling me that Joe Biden isn’t a mentally and physically fragile man.We can all watch the video of our octogenarian president awkwardly freezing up and staring out at a crowd before former president Barack Obama takes his arm and leads him off the stage.Now, I can tell you from experience, it isn’t normal for a grown man to grab another man’s arm in this manner — unless one of them needs...

The U.S. Department of Justice confirmed on Monday that it is pursuing a four-count indictment against a Texas doctor who blew the whistle on a kids’ transing scheme at the largest children’s hospital in the United States.Dallas-based Dr. Eithan Haim first discovered Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston — which originally claimed it no longer offered body-butchering services to pediatric patients — employed physicians who continued to castrate children during his residency rotations.The 34-year-old leaked evidence of this deceptive activity along with proof that the hospital administration promoted procedures to cut off the breasts and genitals of physically healthy people to...

Several weeks ago we revealed that Saddleback Church has joined other large megachurches in the VR space, recently hosting its first Virtual Reality church service through the Metaverse. We’ve covered Saddleback Church on several occasions after Andy and Stacie Wood, the new ‘pastors’ of the 25,000-membe multisite, dressed up as Toy Story characters for a sermon series, after they ordained several pastrixes and were expelled from the SBC for it, after they hosted a “Blacks Only worship service” where no white members were allowed in, so the “black gold” could have a “safe space” to “heal,” and after they had...

You've read more than once right here at PJ Media about the $7.5 billion that Presidentish Joe Biden's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act put on the table as an inducement to build a network of 500,000 EV charging stations up and down the nation's interstate highways. And you've read about how few have been built — eight, at last count.Well, that was a bargain compared to today's boondoggle. The same law also set aside $42.45 billion — that's three Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers — to deploy high-speed internet to millions of Americans who currently lack access. That mostly means rural...

A major Pizza Hut franchisee just closed 15 locations without warning, and nearly 130 might go dark for good in an ongoing battle with the struggling brand owner. EYM Group owns and operates 144 Pizza Hut locations in Indiana, Illinois, Georgia, South Carolina, and Wisconsin but owes millions in franchise fees to Yum Brands. All the Indiana locations were boarded up on Friday of last week, and the Daily Mail reported today that the remaining 129 restaurants "across Illinois, Georgia, South Carolina and Wisconsin are on the brink of shutting as part of the dispute."How EYM and Yum Brands got...

Well, don’t mind me, but, why “Juneteenth?” It’s akin to everything that Biden has done domestically to buy his way to a second term. (Biden? Second Term? Really?) Very few Americans -- black, white, or indifferent -- have a clue what the mid-June holiday is. Its off-putting, cutesy title and wandering appearance in June (on a Wednesday, right?) doesn’t really clarify the point of it. It is a safe bet that if CNN wandered around the streets of D.C., or anywhere, asking folks what event in ‘history’ Juneteenth respects, the empty stares and open mouths would astound. Tomorrow’s ‘holiday,’ we...

It's no secret that with the open border, criminals are incentivized to enter the U.S. illegally. So are terrorists, as the recent Tajikistan pickups have indicated, in numbers that have soared. So have spies and saboteurs as various cases have demonstrated, and now our military bases are taking in two foreign intruders per week, according to an admiral's statement.Anyone else?But of course: The security organs of the Chinese communist state, same people who were last seen opening illegal police stations here in the U.S., some of which apparently are still running, given the lack of news about them.According to the...

Today, rather than warn women of the potential dangers of the abortion pill (mifepristone or Mifeprex), media outlets like the Washington Post are using scare tactics to push a false narrative that pro-life laws are creating an environment in which women are having to flood emergency rooms after illegally accessing abortion pills. But as Live Action News previously documented, the “self-managed abortion” scheme, planned and implemented by the abortion industry years before the fall of Roe v. Wade, is really at fault here. Even in the early days of the abortion pill’s approval, the abortion industry acknowledged that for the...

Remember when New York's governor, Kathy Hochul oozily assured businessmen, some of whom were thinking of fleeing the state, that there was "nothing to worry about" regarding the state's lawfare targeting President Trump that could possibly affect other businessmen?

President Trump on Tuesday responded to Biden’s announcement today of mass amnesty for likely millions of illegal immigrants and presented the crowd at his Wisconsin rally with a graph showcasing the explosion of illegal immigration immediately when Joe Biden was fraudulently installed in the White House. “Joe Biden wants to be the President for illegal aliens. But I will be the President for law-abiding Americans. Every background, every walk of life, every race, religion, color, and creed, I’ll be the President,” said Trump before displaying the harrowing graph. Later, Trump declared, “We will not be fighting for the Biden illegals,...

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan described himself as “an anti-establishment Republican” on Tuesday while defending himself from accusations of being a “RINO” on Fox News. During an appearance on Fox News’ Your World, Ryan tore into former President Donald Trump, prompting host Neil Cavuto to shoot back, “Well, he doesn’t like you either.” Cavuto then confronted Ryan – who, as the 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee, has long been seen by Trump supporters as a face of the Republican establishment – with a post Trump made calling him a “loser” and “a pathetic RINO [Republican in Name Only].”

I just came back to say farewell to my childhood hero, and in a way also to the wonderful times when there were three teams in the Big Town, my Dad was a young man, and I was born into a mixed marriage (Giants - Dodgers). Farewell, Say Hey Kid. RIP #24. Where does the time go?

The U.S. government on Tuesday acknowledged, for the first time, the harmful role it has played over the past century in building and operating dams in the Pacific Northwest — dams that devastated Native American tribes by inundating their villages and decimating salmon runs while bringing electricity, irrigation and jobs to nearby communities.

Background In California, police don’t arrest criminals because prosecutors will just turn them loose. People and businesses are tired of the crime. The result is a campaign to roll back Soros-backed proposition 47 that made theft of less than $950 in goods a misdemeanor. Stores are at the mercy of shoplifters and many merchants have decided to close up shop. Downtown San Francisco looks like a ghost town. California Voter Revolt The proposition 47 reversal has gathered enough signatures that it will be on the ballot. However, the Progressive nut cases running the state propose an alternate measure with a...
