Koo Koo Kommie 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (King James Version) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. It is not enough for the media to get a man shot and nearly killed; they must continue to fan the flames of hatred to make sure he is dead. The last thing they want is for the people to have a...

When an Oregon county near Portland held self-proclaimed “journalist” Alissa Azar accountable for planning a riot in 2021, violent members of Antifa descended on a small main street. Police arrested one member for allegedly assaulting a man.

The courts keep slapping down Biden Administration lawbreaking, not that the Harris or Trump campaigns seem to notice. An Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals panel on Friday blocked President Biden’s SAVE student loan forgiveness plan and rapped the Administration for canceling debt in defiance of a lower-court order. The Administration rolled out the SAVE plan last summer after the Supreme Court blocked its gambit to cancel $10,000 to $20,000 for each borrower. The new plans cap monthly payments at 5% of discretionary income—defined as exceeding 225% of the poverty level—and cancel remaining balances after 10 to 20 years. Borrowers don’t...

"It's Communism": Kamala's First Economic Plan Proposes Price Controls To "Combat Inflation" Thursday, Aug 15, 2024 - 06:45 AM After the unoriginal Vice President Kamala Harris stole former President Trump's proposed 'no tax on tips' policy, she's at it again with yet another recycled idea. This time, she's echoing President Biden's actions and rhetoric to crack down on sky-high food prices by proposing the first-ever federal ban on "corporate price-gouging in the food and...

This warped election violates every prior precedent and is not just creepy but dangerous—even before the campaign was supposed to formally begin. The already-long 2024 presidential campaign has become the strangest in modern history. Here are ten unanswered questions that illustrate how and why we’ve entered this bizarro world: 1. How can Kamala Harris merely promise us fixes to come in 2025 for inflation and an open border when she is still vice president for another six months? Why can’t she enact her proposed solutions to these problems (which she helped create) right now? 2. Would the media prefer to...

“‘The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!’” (Matthew 6:22-23). Generous giving brings spiritual understanding. When people see, their body is filled with the light that comes in from the world their eyes perceive. But if their eye is dark (blind), there is no light and they perceive nothing. The eye is like a window—if a window...

A recent study confirms that universal basic income—no-strings-attached benefit checks offered to recipients regardless of need or contribution to the program—discourages work. That’s relevant to the presidential race. Kamala Harris has called more than once for paying UBI-like benefits. Participants in the UBI program worked nearly 1½ hours less a week on average, and unemployment rose. Other adults in recipient households reduced their work effort, too. Overall, the study found for every dollar in benefits, “total household income excluding the transfers fell by at least 21 cents.” As vice president, Ms. Harris cast the deciding vote to create a temporary...

Footage of Prigozhin shows how the slain leader predicted Ukraine's shock offensive. THE slain chief of the notorious Wagner mercenary group predicted Russia would come under siege from Ukraine before Vlad had him killed. Warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin died when his plane was blown out of the sky in August 2023, allegedly on Putin's orders. He led the private Russian military unit that was called in to assist the Kremlin's quest to illegally conquer Ukraine and became increasingly frustrated with how war efforts were organised. Fed up with the Ministry of Defence, Prigozhin eventually threatened a coup against Moscow - a...

Many reports coming in this morning - but interesting to start with the Al Jazeera version of the story.

Even as I regularly repeat my calls for a Zero Emissions Grid Demonstration Project, I’m ready for the next move in the back and forth. Suppose someone claims that a steady zero emissions electricity supply has been achieved? How can we determine and verify whether that is true? The facts can be sufficiently complex, and the incentives sufficiently perverse, that fraudulent claims are to be expected. Consider the simple case of El Hierro Island. They set out in 2008 with the objective of building a wind/storage electricity system that would provide the island with zero-emissions electricity. To this day, the...

HOUSTON – For the second year in a row, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) says its Disaster Fund has run out of money. FEMA’s administrator stated that the agency will now focus on providing funds solely to those with immediate needs. The agency is currently awaiting Congress to approve a $9 billion supplemental request to replenish the disaster fund. However, with Congress in recess until the end of August, the approval process is delayed. [Snip] Initially, FEMA estimated a 10-day turnaround for dispersing aid, but the process has extended beyond that timeframe. The deadline to apply for [Hurricane Beryl]...

The point of this video is that the burning of Minneapolis can be laid at the feet of Tim Walz. He lit the march and started the fire that burned across many U.S. cities. He did this by lying about the George Floyd incident. He obviously did this intentionally because he knew it was a lie and he knew the incendiary effect this lie would have. Video Transcript (from ChatGPT): BRIAN: Liz Collin is here with us. She is a journalist for Alpha News. Good to see you, Liz. She is the author of The Downfall of Minneapolis, which, if...

Two new graphic videos were released showing the moment a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer was violently knocked over by a suspect during a Michael Brown protest on Friday – an incident that has left the officer in critical condition. The protest came just 10 days before the start of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and among those arrested Friday was Keith Rose, a St. Louis alternate delegate to the DNC and a member of the City of St. Louis’ Civilian Oversight Board which reviews allegations of police misconduct, Fox 2 reports. Rose has since withdrawn as an alternate DNC delegate....

Alexander the Great, who lived from July 356 BC to June 323 BC, was an intrepid conqueror and one of the most brilliant military generals in history. More importantly, however, he laid the cultural foundations for the establishment of the ancient Hellenistic world, all the way from Alexandria in Egypt to the borders of India. By his own admission, Alexander endeavored to conquer lands all the way to the “ends of the world and the Great Outer Sea.” He and his legions invaded India in the year 326 BC, winning an important victory over the Pauravas at the Battle of...

Vice President Kamala Harris is furiously trying to “distance” herself from President Biden’s record — while also disavowing the far-left policies she heartily embraced just a few years ago. The result is a campaign run entirely on style over substance since Harris took the Democratic mantle from Biden last month. And Democratic campaign operatives warn that she risks voters catching on — and realizing she’s selling only cynical political opportunism. “It’s a marketing strategy that is TV-esque,” one senior Democratic aide said. “With such a short timeline now, policy matters less than personality. “She’s going to almost exclusively look at...
