Like you, I see those flashy headlines and articles every day trying to convince Windows users to switch to Linux—how it’s supposedly better in every possible way, how you can use all your favorite apps, and so on. But honestly, most of that is just talk. It sounds great on paper, but it doesn’t match up with reality. Still, I guess those kinds of articles do their job pretty well.Here, though, I want to take a slightly different approach. Right from the start, let me be clear: I’m not here to persuade anyone to jump on the Linux bandwagon. Instead,...

As illustrated by their recent actions, progressive Democrats, particularly white women, seem to not only defend criminals, but to become emotionally invested and even aroused by them. To say this is disturbing is an understatement. The endless herds of karens constantly support and defend BLM, antifa, and illegal aliens in general. They rally in support of the Muslims who would forcibly enrobe them and permanently demean them. They rally in support of the radical Hamas terrorists who tortured and slaughtered women, children, and men alike on Oct. 7, 2023. They send love letters to the likes of Luigi Mangione. They...

A truck hauling rhesus monkeys, described as “aggressive” and initially reported to be infected with various pathogens (e.g., hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID), overturned on Interstate 59 in Mississippi.

A new film about singer Bruce Springsteen called ‘Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere’ is not delivering the box office haul producers expected, at home or abroad. This is not entirely surprising. Like many celebrities, Springsteen has tainted his brand by turning himself into a toxic political figure. “Springsteen” launched below projections at the international box office with $7 million, bringing its global tally to a soft $16.1 million. The biopic cost $55 million, and since theater owners keep roughly half of the ticket sales, the film needs to keep rocking at the box office to justify its price tag. And...

Editor’s Note: This is an exclusive article written by former HHS official Gray Delany for Emerald Robinson’s subscribers on Substack. ====================================================================== Dr. Steven Hatfill was fired abruptly this last weekend. I am told that he was asked to resign but refused, wanting to know the specific reason for his dismissal. When he attempted to access the building the next day, he learned that his key card had been cut off. No reason for his firing has been provided — and Secretary Kennedy never called Dr. Hatfill to explain the move apparently. This is a disturbing new development for the MAHA...

Because no one has been punished, Democrats continue to threaten conservatives. The Democrat party is the undisputed champion of lawfare — the corrupt practice of using the legal system to persecute perceived political enemies and deprive non-Democrats of their constitutional rights. Donald Trump had a clean criminal record for the first seventy years of his life. After he became the Republican standard-bearer, dirty Democrat lawyers unleashed an avalanche of meritless criminal investigations, prosecutions, and civil suits that have continued to this day. Democrat FBI agents and DOJ attorneys tried to frame him as a Russian spy. Democrat spies hiding within...

We see it all the time, the vitriol against President Trump. Rage, outrage, digital and physical tantrums… it’s all part of the “We Hate Trump” show. It does cause a sane person to reflect, is there something to this hate? In reality, the truth, like so many truths, is simple. To get there, you have to understand all that came to pass. For years, the Left has been waging political and social war with America, specifically against conservatives. It first became evident with the forcing of Obamacare down the country’s throat. There was no bipartisanship, no compromise. It was clear...

Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is facing widespread ridicule over a cringeworthy Q&A with the New Yorker. The interview with Isaac Chotiner, which published Monday as Jean-Pierre continues to plug her new book, was roundly mocked by critics across the political spectrum. During the discussion, a confused Chotiner stopped Jean-Pierre for clarification several times for her rambling, word-salad responses that failed to explain why she believed Democrats 'betrayed' Joe Biden.

“Now when John, while imprisoned, heard of the works of Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to Him, ‘Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?’” (Matthew 11:2–3). Countless Christians since John the Baptist’s time have dealt with doubt, which might better be called perplexity or confusion. Here John did not question the truthfulness of Old Testament Scripture or the veracity of Jesus’ baptism, which he himself had seen. Rather, John was simply uncertain about his understanding of those truths. And the kind of question he asked could come only from a believer....

“‘How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God? Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope. For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?’” (John 5:44–47). Jesus’ pensive question, “How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek...

German activist Naomi Seibt, dubbed by Europeans as the "Anti-Greta" has filed for political asylum in the U.S., claiming she’s being persecuted in her native country for her political views and advocacy of free speech. Seibt, 25, submitted her petition under Section 208 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, stating that returning to Germany would expose her to imprisonment or physical harm.

* J.D. Power predicts a 60% EV sales drop in October from September levels. * Decline follows expiration of federal tax credits that boosted affordability. * EVs will make up 5.2% of new sales, down from September’s record 12.9%. ============================================================= There was no getting around the fact that EV sales would take a massive blow without government subsidies. $7,500 is no small amount of cash, and tacking it onto the price of a car will make most vehicles way less appealing. If J.D. Power is right, the loss of that credit has had an even larger impact on the EV...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have left Dodgers fans far from impressed after being handed the best seats in the house for a front-row date night at Game 4 of the World Series. The superstar couple, now seemingly deeply ingrained in LA life, were decked out in Dodgers merch for the big game on Tuesday night, with Fox's TV cameras regularly zoomed in on them as they enjoyed the action. In a surprising decision quickly noticed by fans, Harry and Meghan were given front-row seats worth tens of thousands of dollars - while local legends Magic Johnson and Sandy Koufax...

Chicago's Skid Row shown in 1948. Travelogues never show this side of town. The filmmakers take you to West Madison Street, Whiskey Row, where men and even women walk in a stupor from wine, falling and sleeping in the street, flop houses, winos, men being picked up in paddy wagons by the police. Remarkable street scenes. A rare look inside the bars, the patrons, the life on skid row. Many rare night scenes, neon signs, and businesses long gone. The morgue, where the patrons of Skid Row ultimately end up. Possibly produced by the Salvation Army, or The Woman's Temperance...

One of the most famous bible stories is the story of David, a young man who slew Goliath, a gigantic Philistine warrior, champion of the Philistine army. The story is much debated. Was David known to Saul, the king, before David killed Goliath? How old was David when he killed Goliath? Did someone else kill Goliath, and was David later given credit for it?The most common assumption is that David killed Goliath, using a sling and a stone to triumph over the giant. Estimates of his age vary from 13 to 28. He is described as both a boy and...

President Donald Trump was given a gift that will likely make the 'No Kings' protesters go a little mad - a replica of an ancient golden crown. South Korean President Lee Jae Myung awarded Trump with the Grand Order of Mugunghwa, South Korea's highest honor, for his work trying to achieve peace on the Korean peninsula during his first term. Trump was the first American leader ever bestowed with the honor. Trump met three times with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, in at attempt to ink a denuclearization deal, a goal that ultimately foiled him. The announcer said the...

Do people need tutorials on masturbation? Apparently at Harvard they do. Students at the Ivy League institution are set to host their annual Sex Week celebration, slated for the first week of November. On tap this year? A “BDSM and Kinks” workshop and a “Touch, Techniques and Tools” seminar, according to the scheduled of events posted on social media. Another event will feature a “queer and trans sex educator,” co-hosted by the Harvard Undergraduate Queer Advocates group, a promotional flier states. There will also be a “condoms and lubricant 101” event, sex trivia party, and “Sensual Strokes: Painting Your Pleasure”...
