    Several weeks ago I asked for prayers for my wife Jane and Niece Diane. Jane was fighting stage 4 Uterine cancer and Diane had a very dangerous heart condition. Here is what has happened since. Our new Oncologist has reported that Jane's treatments with a Chemo commonly called The Red Devil, have been well worth the very painful side effects they caused; and Jane is in remission! 13 days ago I had to bring Jane to an ER because I suspected she had blood clots in her right leg, below the knee. She did have them - many of them....

    Libertarian National Committee Chair Steven Nekhaila is warning members of the committee that the party is on the brink of failure if it does not take immediate and serious steps to reform its operations and unify behind its mission. In a message forwarded to the LNC public Business List on Friday, Nekhaila sharply condemned a recent leak of an internal report, which he described as an attempt “to score political points” at the expense of the party’s stability. He referred to the incident as “pathetic and weak,” but stressed that the report itself was “necessary.” “We are an organization in...

    For two years, Stacey Wales kept a running list of everything she would say at the sentencing hearing for the man who killed her brother in a road rage incident in Chandler, Ariz. But when she finally sat down to write her statement, Wales was stuck. She struggled to find the right words, but one voice was clear: her brother's. "I couldn't help hear his voice in my head of what he would say," Wales told NPR. That's when the idea came to her: to use artificial intelligence to generate a video of how her late brother, Christopher Pelkey, would...
  • Tim Walz's daughter rants that running is a 'privilege' in latest bizarre bout of liberal outrage

    Tim Walz's daughter claimed that running is a 'political act' that is only for the 'privileged.' Hope Walz, daughter of the failed vice-presidential candidate, took to TikTok to share her views on the sport, saying her father taught her that running is 'political.' 'Running as an act is political. And you know who taught me that? Tim Walz,' she said. 'The first thing he told me when I was getting into it in high school - granted, I don't really do it as much anymore, I go in spurts - when I was first getting into it in high school,...

    The Obama Foundation touted progress on the construction of its presidential library Tuesday after President Trump mocked builders for being behind on developing the property. “We can’t wait to open our doors to the Obama Presidential Center next spring! In addition to a world-class museum, the 19.3-acre campus will feature a gymnasium, a fruit and vegetable garden, a branch of the Chicago Public Library, a playground, and so much more,” the Obama Foundation wrote in a post on the social media platform X. A separate post thanked all the workers for contributing to the project. The comments follow Trump’s Tuesday...
  • Pulitzer Prize goes to Gazan poet who discredited hostages, disputed murder of Bibas family

    05/07/2025 3:47:32 PM PDT · by Impala64ssa · 25 replies
    In his social media posts, Abu Toha "specifically disparaged female Israeli hostages, questioned their hostage status and implicitly justified their abduction." One of the winners of this year's Pulitzer Prize - Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha - disputed whether the Bibas family was murdered by their captors and argued that Israeli hostages should not be called hostages. This was first revealed by the watchdog HonestReporting, which also called for Abu Toha's award to be rescinded. Abu Toha was awarded the prestigious prize on Monday for a series of essays in the New Yorker about the suffering in Gaza, where he...

    Director Andrew Goldberg‘s political documentary “White With Fear,” featuring interviews with Hillary Clinton, Steve Bannon and more has set an on-demand release date of June 3, Variety can exclusively reveal. Providing rare first-person access to notable figures like Clinton and former Fox News reporter Carl Cameron, the documentary explores the decades-long strategy employed by conservative politicians “to amplify racial divisions and white victimization narratives for power and profit,” according to an official synopsis. The documentary also explores how these tactics aim to hurt immigrants and spread Islamophobia around the world. Additional interviews feature former Trump campaign strategist Rick Gates, former...
  • Trump to Pitch Sweeping Medicare Drug Price Plan

    Politico ^ | May 7, 2025 | Jake Traylor and Adam Cancryn
    President Donald Trump plans to revive an effort to dramatically slash drug costs by tying the amount the government pays for some medicines to lower prices abroad, three people familiar with the matter told POLITICO. Trump early next week is expected to sign an executive order directing aides to pursue the initiative, called “most favored nation,” for a selection of drugs within the Medicare program. The idea would use the administration’s authorities to force prices down. The proposal has not been finalized and could still change as aides work through the specifics, said the people involved in the plan, who...

    The first sign of just how revolutionary President Trump’s second term would be actually came two years before his re-election. On June 6, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, delivering pro-life conservatives a victory decades in the making—but which, in the end, was only made possible by Donald Trump. Before Trump’s first term, Republican presidents had displayed a remarkable knack for preserving a pro-Roe majority on the Court: George H.W. Bush more than offset the conservative jurisprudence of Clarence Thomas by appointing Anthony Kennedy and David Souter. And while both of George W. Bush’s appointees voted to reverse...

    The Federalist ^ | 5/6/25 | John Davidson
    There is a concerted effort underway lately by so-called dissident or “anti-woke” liberals to police speech on the right, declaring certain opinions or ideas taboo, unworthy of a platform, beyond the pale of acceptable discourse. Although couched in the language of morality and principles, this effort isn’t really about fending off rising right-wing racism and antisemitism, much less saving western civilization. It’s about power. Over the past decade, the media landscape has been destroyed. Through its own corruption and duplicity, the corporate press has lost credibility and influence — to the tremendous benefit of conservative voices and outlets. But this...
  • Traumatized Tillis Could Inflict Fatal Blow to Martin Confirmation

    In defending the Biden DOJ's lawfare against his own constituents, Sen. Thom Tillis not only could sink interim DC US Attorney Ed Martin's confirmation but end ongoing investigations at the office. At the heart of the systemically corrupt Department of Justice beats the office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Nearly every politically-driven prosecution in Washington starts and ends there: for example, the first official act of Matthew Graves, the Biden appointed DC US Attorney, was to hand up a criminal indictment against Trump confidant Steve Bannon for contempt of Congress in November 2021. The office is...

    WACO, TX — The gathered crowds broke out into deafening cheers as smoke rose from Buc-ee's this afternoon, indicating fresh brisket was on the board. Anticipation had reached a fever pitch when wisps of smoke began to emanate from the Buc-ee's chimney, with several onlookers breaking down in tears of joy. "Glory be!" cried local man Bill Denton, who was filling up his truck when the excitement broke out. "Suddenly, everything feels right with the world again. It's like I finally found something I didn't know I was missing. And that something is a delicious sliced brisket sandwich with extra...

    A missing sausage dog that captivated the world after she disappeared on a South Australian island for a year-and-a-half has been reunited with her "euphoric" family. Valerie the dachshund escaped from a Kangaroo Island campground while on holiday with her owners, Georgia Gardner and Josh Fishlock, in November 2023. After an island-wide hunt, numerous reported sightings, and "round-the-clock" search and rescue efforts by Kangala Wildlife Rescue, she was found "fit and well" by the rescue last month. Ms Gardner and Mr Fishlock made the trip from their home in Albury, NSW, to Kangaroo Island yesterday where they were emotionally reunited...

    This nomination fell by the wayside for numerous reasons, but it wasn’t a good pick. Dr. Janette Nesheiwat was a Dr. Anthony Fauci acolyte, promoting most of the worst COVID nonsense on Fox News. She also gave Facebook props for censoring posts that raised questions about the COVID vaccine. She also peddled panic porn about travel to Florida during this period. There were serious problems with Dr. Nesheiwat, whose nomination is being pulled by Trump. There were supposedly concerns about her credentials. I mean, it appears she wasn’t completely honest about where she attended medical school, which isn’t good, but...

    A “credible threat” made against Rep. Derrick Van Orden's family prompted the Wisconsin Republican to miss votes on Wednesday and reschedule a town hall event. "Rep. Van Orden will be missing votes tomorrow and rescheduling his upcoming town hall due to a credible threat made against his wife, children, and grandchildren," the congressman's press office said in a statement on X. "The threat was delivered via a letter to his D.C. office and has been reported to the appropriate authorities. "No elected official, regardless of political party affiliation, should have to worry about the safety of their family while serving...
