At times it’s the easiest thing in the world to miss is what’s right under your nose. What’s being missed right now concerning the Democrat presidential campaign is how it’s resulting in the complete collapse of the Democrat political hierarchy of the past three decades. It’s not just Biden or Mrs. Vice President Harris-Emhoff. Biden, needless to say, is a lost man no matter how the election goes – and in truth, was lost long before 2020. If there’s one thing we can be sure of, it’s that Joe Biden will have no political status whatsoever in this country from...

Business leaders and local officials in Tulsa, Okla., puzzled for years over how to fill the hole created when young people left for big coastal cities. What, they wondered, could keep professionals rooted in the heartland? Rather than fighting to hold on to native Tulsans, they decided to recruit outsiders. In recent years, the rise of virtual work opened up a new way of responding to the city’s brain drain. Five years after the George Kaiser Family Foundation began offering $10,000 to remote workers willing to move to Tulsa for at least a year, some 3,300 people have taken up...

This movie ("Am I Racist") is histerical. A must see!! Matt Walsh hit a bull's eye.

Pollster Mark Halperin has warned that America and possibly the world could experience a major mental health crisis in its history if former President Donald Trump wins the election next month.

Former President Trump has a 7-point edge over Vice President Harris in the battleground state of Georgia, according to a new survey. The poll, released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University, shows Trump ahead of Harris with 52 percent support to her 45 percent among likely voters in the Peach State. The former president enjoyed the same lead among independents, besting the vice president by 7 points, 49 percent to 42 percent, according to the poll.

Planting over 16,000 trees. Increasing the tree canopy is a priority because trees provide shade, lower the ground surface temperature and offset carbon emissions by capturing carbon dioxide. For nearly two decades, Miami-Dade has struggled to reach its goal of 30 percent tree cover. Gilbert explains that rampant development and hurricane damage have made meeting this a Sisyphean task. The fact that the county isn’t backsliding is an achievement, she insists—it’s currently hovering around 20 percent. This year Miami-Dade will invest a record $7 million in tree planting, with an emphasis on low-income neighborhoods, which tend to have the least...

It appears that the slow-witted political operatives behind this season’s production of “Harris/Walz: Lights, Camera, Cackle” have finally figured out that they have a serious “man problem” — as in no man with a modicum of testosterone running through his veins would dare be caught bearing the brand of the “trans”-hyping, willy-chopping, child-sniffing Democrat party. Congratulations, pals and gals (and xals) — glad you’re waking up to the reality that you’ve created an ideological movement that caters chiefly to Kens who dress up as Barbie, advocates for legalizing pedophilia, and a lot of people who would very much like to...

Fox News host Bret Baier shared details about how Vice President Kamala Harris' team were desperately trying to get the Fox News interview to wrap up after their testy sit-down in Pennsylvania. The Democratic presidential nominee joined the Special Report host for her first interview ever on the conservative network on Wednesday. The pair spoke over each other numerous times as Baier grilled the 59-year-old on multiple topics including immigration right out of the gate. 'I'm talking like four people waving their hands like "it's got to stop,"' Baier described to his panel about how the interview ended after it...

Once again, I will post this in its entirety for those who are not following Wendy on X/Twitter (she is @wendyp4545). This gives us a look into conditions prevailing in NC before the hurricanes and floods decimated the western part of the state, as well as eastern Tennessee. This also offers a look at the behavior of the state and federal governments, and especially North Carolina’s DemocRat Governor, Roy Cooper. Frankly, this is disgusting. Your government is working against you. To the Litigation Attorneys representing all of the people in North Carolina who lost everything because of the flood and...

An exotic large cat native to parts of Africa and Asia has been found hiding under a resident’s deck after being spotted wandering around an Illinois golf club in the suburbs of Chicago, police said. The Hoffman Estates Police Department in Illinois said they were made aware over the last few days of a “large cat in the area of Della Dr and the Hilldale Golf Course” and that the cat was identified to be a caracal, which are characterized by their striking looks with long legs, short tail, long tufted ears and large canine teeth... It is currently unknown...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal judge overseeing the election interference case against Donald Trump directed prosecutors Wednesday to search for and provide to the former president’s lawyers any Justice Department information related to a separate investigation into Mike Pence’s handling of classified documents. Trump’s lawyers had argued that that information could be relevant to their defense o the extent it shows that Pence, Trump’s vice president, had “an incentive to curry favor with authorities” and implicate Trump while facing his own investigation into the retention of classified documents in his Indiana home.... U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered Smith’s team...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A student loan cancellation program for public workers has granted relief to more than 1 million Americans — up from just 7,000 who were approved before it was updated by the Biden administration two years ago. President Joe Biden announced the milestone on Thursday, saying his administration restored a promise to America’s teachers, firefighters, nurses and other public servants. He celebrated it even as his broader student loan plans remain halted by courts following legal challenges by Republican-led states... In all, the program has erased $74 billion in loans for public workers.

The first flutter of panic is beginning to grip the Harris-Walz presidential campaign and Team Trump is starting to believe that maybe their man might win after all. The momentum is back with Donald Trump and the Kamala Harris campaign is an increasingly unhappy, floundering ship with less than three weeks to go. But the Democrats are being forced to confront something even more existential than the possibility of defeat on November 5: that perhaps, for them, demography is not their party's destiny after all. It's long been a comforting axiom of Democratic thinking that the more non-white America becomes,...

WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris angrily dodged questions on border policy, Iran and President Biden’s fitness for office in an contentious interview with Fox News host Bret Baier — as more polls showed her losing the initiative in the race for the White House. The 26-minute interview with the Democratic nominee kicked off with a tense grilling by Baier on immigration policy — with Harris repeatedly refusing to say that terminating former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy was a mistake. Baier’s first question schooled Harris about the effects of the current administration’s more permissive policies, which allow...

“Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body that you should obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law, but under grace” (Romans 6:12-14). Believers are to yield themselves to God, not to sin. Three key words in Romans 6 define the believer’s relationship to sin: “know” (vv. 3, 6, 9), “consider”...

This film was made to sell to high school media departments who purchased it to show to their juniors and seniors. Students in public high schools were being exposed to the concept of propaganda, especially given the context of World War II and the early Cold War. At this time there was an emphasis on educating citizens, including school children, about the role of propaganda. Would anyone make a film like this to run in schools involving media fake media or not?
