The 2024 election is already shaping up to feel a lot like 2020. There are a lot of familiar red flags popping up, especially with all the warnings and alarm bells going off. Let’s be real—at this point, most Americans believe there was plenty of “funny business” surrounding 2020. From the free-for-all with mail-in ballots to unmanned drop boxes, late-night suitcases, “busted pipes,” and those private “ballot counting” sessions, the entire election felt off—especially the so-called “winner.” (snip) Glenn Beck:@BretWeinstein makes an ominous prediction for November: “I think the Blue Team will NOT win the election. I believe they will...

Year: B(II).First reading1 Corinthians 6:1-11Do not drag your brother to a pagan for judgementHow dare one of your members take up a complaint against another in the law courts of the unjust instead of before the saints? As you know, it is the saints who are to ‘judge the world’; and if the world is to be judged by you, how can you be unfit to judge trifling cases? Since we are also to judge angels,...

It can’t actually be said that the either the Butler assassination attempt or Joe’s bugout upended the 2024 campaign. That had already largely occurred by the second week of July. Every last effort against Donald Trump by the progressive establishment and their Deep State and bureaucratic allies had collapsed by that point. The lawfare campaign miscarried completely, generating sympathy for Trump and anger against his tormentors. The Supreme Court’s decision in Trump V. United States put an end to that chapter and cleared the way for Donald Trump’s next move. Judge Aileen Cannon’s dismissal of Jack Smith’s demented records case...

A moral sin of cosmic proportions.. The entire world is witness to a form of mass insanity. In response to the brutal murder of more than 1,200 innocent people by a gang of savage terrorists together with the taking of more than 200 hostages, people and governments are supporting the murderers and, in so doing, are committing a moral sin of cosmic proportions. The collective disgrace is beyond comprehension. The pressure seems to be focused on Israel, instead of on the Hamas murderers. The Biden/Harris administration, many Western governments, protestors on college campuses, and even Israeli citizens are siding with...

~That bollocks about America being "a nation of immigrants" is an early example of what we now call "virtue-signalling" - and one the US has, alas, exported to other countries where it has even less application. A lot of it derives from that torch-bearing lady in the harbour. As I said at the Munk Debate in 2016, the French gave the Americans a great Statue of Liberty, and the Americans stapled a truly lousy poem to it and turned it into a Statue of Immigration: Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to be human traffickers, jihadists,...

There is a party atmosphere outside Britain's prisons this morning as criminals set free under Labour's controversial inmate release scheme praised Sir Keir Starmer for giving them their freedom. Those walking out from behind bars whooped and punched the air in delight before hugging loved ones, with some crowing they would be finally be spending time with their girlfriends - but not before going to McDonald's. Some were greeted by a cacophony on their release, with friends blasting out music and giving them new clothes, and some even spraying the former prisoners with sparkling wine to celebrate their newfound freedom.

TRANSCRIPT: The original sin of slavery. Today Americans are taught, when it comes to slavery, America was the worst. The Atlantic slave trade from Africa to the Americas was different from any other type of slavery. The United States didn't inherit slavery from anybody, we created it. American slavery was worse because the slaves were reduced to property. They were chattel property. No other system of slavery did that except American slavery. That's complete nonsense. Wilfred Reilly is a political science professor and author of Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me. Generational slavery, like if you're the son of a...

Last week it became clear to me that although Microsoft has “loved” Linux for more than a decade now, that love still doesn’t extend to the Linux desktop.This realization came to me as I read news of a Windows security update that borked Grub, the open-source boot loader that’s used by most Linux distributions and which is used to load Windows in dual-boot situations.After the Windows update was applied, an untold number of Windows’ dual booters were unable to boot Linux, but instead were served the scary and cryptic error message: “Something has gone seriously wrong.”According to Ars Technica, the...

When Nashville real estate broker and one-time House candidate Stewart Parks was convicted on Jan. 6 riot charges of trespassing and theft and sentenced to eight months in the Memphis Federal Correctional Institute, he expected the worst. “When I went in, the plan was I was just gonna keep my head down low and good time my way out,” Parks, 31, said. “I wasn't gonna tell anybody like, ‘Hey, I'm Jan. 6.’” Parks couldn’t hide his status, though, because when he was handed off to a Mexican American inmate leader to get him situated, the prison guard said, “Hey, he’s...

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents raided the Millersville Police Department on Wednesday, executing a search warrant as the criminal investigation into the troubled agency enters a dramatic new phase. A team of agents was also seen executing a separate search warrant at the White House residence of the department's conspiracy-minded assistant police chief, Shawn Taylor. "I can confirm that a search warrant execution is underway at the Millersville Police Department as part of an ongoing investigation," TBI spokesperson Susan Niland said in an email. She later confirmed the search at the address where Taylor resides

It must be nice to be Joe Biden. He not only gets to hop from one vacation in California to another in Delaware, he knows his Leftist lackeys will spin, spin, spin the fact he's not doing his job. To put it bluntly: since Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 election, he's been MIA. We have no president. A fact Glenn Greenwald pointed out, along with the reason why Biden's absence isn't that big of an upheaval: ... evidence unelected bureaucrats are running the show. ... The people who yell the loudest about 'democracy' lost all credibility after installing...

DRAMATIC footage shows the moment Ukraine launched over 140 drones into Russia hitting Moscow in its biggest ever UAV attack on the capital. The massive barrage struck key airports in the capital and sparked fires in a residential area just 30 miles south of the Kremlin, killing one woman. Kyiv's kamikaze drones struck the Ramenskoye district just outside of the city, with dramatic pictures showing wrecked apartment blocks. Scene footage showed two high-rise buildings in the area that were hit with flats inside set on fire. It was unclear how many drones reached Moscow itself but some 15 were downed...

“During the blessed last 10 days of Ramadan, we celebrate our Administration’s incredible Muslim team,” Vice President Kamala Harris announced, posing on the steps of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building with some of the most controversial figures in the administration. There right behind Kamala was Nasrina Bargzie, her deputy counsel and future Muslim liaison, who had been interviewed by the FBI after 9/11, wore orange for the Islamic terrorists at Gitmo and had fought a lawsuit Jewish students over harassment by pro-terrorist activists at Berkeley. Second from Kamala’s right was Mazen Basrawi, Biden’s current Muslim liaison, who had attended a...

The Palestinians have circulated a draft U.N. resolution demanding that Israel end its “unlawful presence” in Gaza and the West Bank within six months. The proposed General Assembly resolution, which was obtained by The Associated Press, follows a ruling by the top United Nations court in July that said Israel’s presence in the Palestinian territories is unlawful and must end. […] Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon denounced the resolution and described it as a “reward for terrorism.” He called for the resolution to be rejected. “Let it be clear: Nothing will stop Israel or deter it from its...

There has never been, nor will there ever be, anything quite so special as the love between the mother and a son, so the proverb goes. But this fundamental bond has been tested in a landmark legal battle in London.... The men, referred to as 'X' and 'Y', agreed that she would have contact with the child after it was born.... ...she signed a parental order handing responsibility for the child to the men along with a second order ensuring that she could have regular contact with the child...But the gay couple reneged on that agreement... then pursued a series...
