The revelations from Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard, about the Russia Collusion hoax have the Obama team in damage control mode. I wrote about the reaction of former Obama DNI James Clapper. He acknowledged to CNN that he'd been "lawyered up" for awhile and that he found it very "disconcerting," although he called the allegations "ridiculous." Of course, it's also probably not wise to be talking on CNN either. But the Obama team is in full gear, trying to do all they can to spin. Clapper wasn't the only one looking nervous. Check the body language of former...

Infidelity between romantic partners can be a heartbreaking, relationship-ending thing. No one wants to be lied to, manipulated or thrown under the bus, much less at the hands of someone they love and trust. Unfortunately, it happens. In the below list, we've collected a whopping 50 Songs About Cheaters and Cheating. Many are written from the perspective of the hurt party, but others share the side of the partner who committed the treachery, or even the viewpoint of the "other woman," if you will. At least cheating can make for some highly cathartic music. 1. "Got to Choose," Kiss From:...

I pulled into my local Wal-Mart parking lot about 1 hour ago that sits next to I-30 and visually saw 4 Mexican caravans just pulling in what I like to call them Mexican caravans heading South. I used to see them nearly daily on I -30 but since the deportations picked up have not seen to many any more till today. What a Mexican caravan is a group of damaged/totaled but mostly towable at least drivable mid sized vehicles all connected to a larger vehicle that gets towed to the Border and fixed up\patched up to sell to border crossers...

A World War II veteran rang in his 102nd birthday surrounded by loved ones in Florida — but said “the best is yet to come” as he sets out to cross off his bucket-list goals, including a long-awaited bar mitzvah.

SummaryTrump urges people to focus on other Epstein associates Trump and his advisers have long fanned conspiracy theories White House calls Epstein reporting 'fake news' July 26 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's super powers as a public figure have long included the ability to redirect, evade and deny. But the Republican's well-worn methods of changing the subject when a tough topic stings politically are not working as his White House fends off persistent unrest from his usually loyal base about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. Trump has scolded reporters, claimed ignorance and offered distractions in an effort...

Explanation: Globular star cluster Omega Centauri packs about 10 million stars much older than the Sun into a volume some 150 light-years in diameter. Also known as NGC 5139, at a distance of 15,000 light-years it's the largest and brightest of 200 or so known globular clusters that roam the halo of our Milky Way galaxy. Though most star clusters consist of stars with the same age and composition, the enigmatic Omega Cen exhibits the presence of different stellar populations with a spread of ages and chemical abundances. In fact, Omega Cen may be the remnant core of a small...

MEDITATION ON SUCCESS "Do not let this Book of Law (The Torah) depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." (Joshua 1:8) "Great success, like disgrace, can bring great trouble. Success which advances ego can make you lose your way." (Tao 13.) A lawyer once commented to me, "If you preachers ever convince people to live by the Ten Commandments, I will be out of business". Now there is a thought: lawyers out of business! Doing God's will...

"We cannot run a republic like this."FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said that he’s been “shocked” by what he’s learned so far during his time with the Bureau, specifically with regard to the politicization and “weaponization of both law enforcement and intelligence operations.” Bongino, who left a lucrative career in talk radio to take his post at the FBI, shared his observations in a lengthy post on X, promising to follow the investigations wherever they might lead in order to ultimately get “the answers WE ALL DESERVE.” “During my tenure here as the Deputy Director of the FBI, I have...

𝐀 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 Over the years, there have been a lot of arguments over what “Well Regulated” in the Second Amendment means. Despite only making up a 27-word sentence, the entire amendment has its semantics questioned for a multitude of reasons, whether that be the meaning of “right of the people to keep and bear Arms”, “shall not be infringed”, or “A well-regulated Militia”. Today, I will focus on the latter, intending to dispel misunderstandings about these four simple words, while using historical examples to help with comparison. What “regulated” meant back then is NOT the same as what an...

American Airlines Boeing 737 Max catches fire at Denver airport, passengers evacuated after landing gear combusts

A new report finds that the JAMA Network ran more articles recently mentioning “inequity” than “asthma.” In his novel The Magic Mountain, Thomas Mann describes wealthy European consumptives who retreat to a sanitorium high in the Swiss Alps, convinced that thin air aids in treating pulmonary tuberculosis. In their self-contained community, they affirm their faith in contemporary medical practices while delaying the demands of life in the “flatlands.” Medical researchers, it seems, are retreating to a sanatorium of their own. Based on our analysis, leading medical journals increasingly lean left and are abandoning scientific principles in service of progressive ideology....
