Hello, fellow garbage people! Happy Halloween! I assume many of you will be dressing up as refuse for Halloween tonight. Hefty bag? Trash bin? Dumpster? All great costumes! However, those of you who wish to do something a bit more out of character could put on a Chicago White Sox jersey and go as a minor league ballplayer! But I kid! Speaking of kids, if you happen to be dressed up as a nanny, don’t go knocking at Doug Emhoff’s door! No, seriously! Ha, ha, ha! As I have referenced in the past, this can be a confusing time of...

Videos of President Joe Biden playfully biting several costumed babies at the White House Halloween party have gone viral on social media. The Halloween event transformed the White House South Lawn into a lively setting with decorations and activities for families, local students, and children of military families. While Jill Biden, wearing a full-body panda suit, handed out copies of the children's book 10 Spooky Pumpkins, President Biden greeted a line of children and parents and distributed candy in signature White House wrappers.

The controversy surrounding President Trump’s upcoming rally in Albuquerque exposes New Mexico’s state leadership selectively blocking access to public spaces, sparking heated allegations of partisanship. Scheduled for Thursday at CSI Aviation, the rally faced logistical challenges when far-left Democrat New Mexico Commissioner of Public Lands Stephanie Garcia Richard rejected the Trump campaign’s plan to use the Isleta Amphitheater’s parking lot. After the Trump campaign coordinated with Live Nation to set up a parking and shuttle system, the state abruptly reversed course, blocking the use of the state-owned lot. This move is irrefutably politically motivated and, at its core, an infringement...

Many around the world think America is great because of its Constitution. But America is great because of its people. We are ceaselessly reminded of the high stakes of the pending election. Pundits and candidates warn of stark consequences for energy policy, taxation, defense budgets, immigration, and reproductive rights. No one speaks of the highest stake, and greatest threat, of this election: the fate of the social compact that binds our nation. When most people speak of social structure, they nearly always refer to the laws and official institutions which determine how the government relates to you and me --...

CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell accused former President Donald Trump “and his supporters” of not giving President Joe Biden “grace” over his “garbage” remarks.O’Donnell referred to how Trump rode on a garbage truck to his rally in Wisconsin a day after Biden described Trump voters as being “garbage.”

Qassem spoke of former Hezbollah leaders, Hassan Nasrallah, and Hashem Safieddine, who were killed in Israeli strikes in September and October. Hezbollah's new secretary-general, Naim Qassem, said that he intended to follow in the footsteps of the terror organization's previous leader, Hassan Nasrallah, during his first televised speech as leader of the terror organization on Wednesday. During his speech, he referred to the drone attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Caesarea home, saying, "Netanyahu survived this time, perhaps his time hasn't yet come." "My agenda is to follow Nasrallah's agenda in all aspects," Qassem said. "We will continue our war...

HARRISBURG — They may be called mail ballots, but there’s more than one way to return them in Pennsylvania.In many counties across the commonwealth, voters have the opportunity to deposit their completed mail ballots into secure drop boxes. These enable Pennsylvanians to make sure ballots reach county election offices before the 8 p.m. Election Day deadline without risking mail delays.Still, some public figures, including former President Donald Trump, have sought to ban drop boxes, claiming they aren’t allowed under state law and that they are susceptible to fraud. In fact, both state and federal courts have upheld their use. And...

For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). Jesus Christ provides us with the perfect example of how to defeat temptation. Perhaps you’ve heard the joke, “I can resist anything but temptation!” Unfortunately, that is all too often true in our lives. Learning how to successfully resist temptation is vitally important, for we sin only when we yield to temptation. Christians throughout history have recognized the importance of resisting temptation. One early believer wrote, “Fly from all...

As the weeks marched on in the 2024 presidential campaign, the rhetoric emanating from the Ruling Class continued to plumb new depths in crassness and incivility. As the weeks marched on in the 2024 presidential campaign, the rhetoric emanating from the Democrat Party and legacy media wing of the Ruling Class continued to plumb new depths in crassness and incivility. In the past week, led by their loathsome ventriloquist dummy, Kamala Harris, they have made the entire focus of the campaign the vile accusation that Donald Trump is not only another wannabe Hitler, but he will follow in Hitler’s footsteps...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a renewed effort to lower the political temperature amid the lead-up to the presidential election next week, President Joe Biden called on all deplorable garbage Nazis to tone down their rhetoric. The plea came during a late-night address from the White House, as Biden urged former President Donald Trump's vicious, extremist, domestic terrorist supporters to stop using such derogatory and divisive language to describe their opponents. "Listen up, you Nazis. Here's the deal," Biden said. "Dangerous, inflammatory rhetoric has no place in our political discourse. That's why I'm calling on all of Donald Trump's nasty, disgusting,...

Ralston College counts among its first graduates a 24-year-old man who, in his third term of study, asked me what he could do to help ensure our fledgling institution would endure for 100 years. His query deepened a conviction that had guided me for the previous decade as I traveled the world in search of philanthropists and world-class academics to help found a university dedicated to preserving and advancing knowledge: It is what young people want but cannot easily find. Answering their call has been inspiring and, at times, challenging. While it is a challenge that my colleagues and I...

The reason the DOJ was able to coerce so many plea deals from J6 defendants is because they charged them with 18 USC Section 1512(c)(2), a federal obstruction of justice statute, which can carry a 20 YEAR prison term. The Supreme Court ruled that the DOJ illegally used the statute, which should have nullified most of the major charges against J6 defendants. But instead of accepting this, the DOJ then began manufacturing other “crimes” and adding sentencing enhancements to cases instead. The Biden-Harris DOJ is corrupt to the core.

In the final days leading up to the 2024 presidential election in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania, with 19 electoral votes, former President Donald Trump for the first time is on the upside of a race with Vice President Kamala Harris that is too close to call, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University poll of likely voters in Pennsylvania released today. Trump receives 47 percent support among likely voters, Harris receives 46 percent support, Green Party candidate Jill Stein receives 2 percent support, and Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver receives 1 percent support. Two percent of likely voters refused...

Hezbollah's new Secretary-General, Naim Qassem, delivered his first speech in his new position today (Wednesday), but his remarks were cut off mid-speech. At the same time, a cyber attack was reported in Lebanon. Later, Hezbollah managed to restore the broadcast of the speech. "The question that is being asked is - what is the leader's plan of action?" Qassem said. "My plan is the continuation of Nasrallah's plan in all respects - political, cultural, and jihad. We will continue to carry out the war plan that we decided on together with the organization's leadership, we will stay on the war...

Hezbollah’s new leader Naim Qassem brazenly threatened Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. How will the Jewish State respond? On top of that, the fanatical regime in Tehran is vowing a “painful” response to the IDF’s strike against Iran. Is this simply saber rattling, or should Israel be expecting a devastating attack?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez touted First Gentleman Doug Emhoff as the ideal representation of masculinity at a Las Vegas campaign event for his wife Kamala Harris on Wednesday. “He’s not afraid to embody and pass on these values of security and this idea that you can, you can let your girl shine,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told a room full of students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, according to the Daily Mail. “And he embodies that really well. We should all be really, really proud of him.” The “squad” member praised Emhoff’s example of masculinity less than a week after a...
