I regard POTUS 45, Donald Trump, as easily one of the best American presidents in my lifetime. ...... the fact that he is a family man has given him some really good and truly beautiful people working at his side. Here is a selection of key ideas from his Inaugural Address: "....... we are transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the people ......." "We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example ......." "There should be no fear ....... we will be protected...

MSNBC contributor and presidential historian Michael Beschloss appears on "MSNBC Reports," March 18, 2023. Credit: ScreenshotIt’s been quite an end to the week already, hasn’t it, readers? First, on Friday night, we got word that law enforcement officials were preparing for the possibility of the Manhattan D.A.’s office filing an indictment against former president Donald Trump — including his arrest.We also got a reaction from Trump himself, who hinted that the arrest might come next Tuesday and called for protests in their wake, as we reported earlier on Saturday.Hard on the heels of Trump’s reaction was House Speaker Kevin McCarthy...

I have a new study out, titled “Constraining Renewables is a National Need”, that provides a simple reason why net zero is impossible. It is simply impossible to provide enough energy storage to make renewables reliable. The headlong rush to replace thermal power generation with renewables must therefore be constrained. Congress, FERC and NERC must act to prevent disaster

The timing of the reported indictment about to drop against President Donald Trump can only be called suspicious, given the Stormy Daniels issue has been lying fallow for years, with President Donald Trump now a declared candidate for the 2024 presidential nomination.It’s about the perp walk and the theatrics. Just like they tried the Jan. 6 Committee prior to the midterms, this is going to be the continuing thing that they will throw out there to attack Trump and the Republicans in the presidential race. It’s about the optics to move the middle/the independents away from Republicans.But what about the...

Next Thursday (March 23rd) declared another day of strikes and protest in France but new strikes and protests already launched en masse following President Emmanuel Macron's pulling of the trigger on pension reform. Fearful that a majority would not endorse the change of the retirement age from 62 to 64 and the shuffling of benefits, Macron went for the nuclear option of using Article 49.3 of the French Constitution.... In Paris garbage workers have already been on strike for more than a week now and union leaders on Friday urged more trash collectors to go on strike across the country......

On Friday, we learned that the Manhattan District Attorney’s office may indict Trump over alleged hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.On Saturday morning, Trump acknowledged in a Truth Social post that there is a possibility that he could be arrested on bogus charges by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office and called on his supporters to protest the blatant abuse of power.Some have predicted that, should Trump be arrested, it will backfire spectacularly on the Democrats and propel him back to the White House. “If this happens, Trump will be re-elected in a landslide victory,” Elon Musk tweeted in...

According to recent reports, law enforcement and security agencies at the local, state, and federal levels are getting ready for a possible indictment of former President Donald Trump as soon as next week. These agencies are carrying out preliminary security assessments and deliberating over potential security arrangements around the Manhattan Criminal Court situated at 100 Centre Street. The discussion revolves around the chance that Trump may be charged with an alleged hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels and could travel to New York to face the charges if any. As PJ Media’s Robert Spencer noted on Friday, it appears that the...

No modern American person has ever been under such a brutal assault as President Donald J Trump has endured over the past several years. The mechanisms of the worst elements of a corrupt and corroded global government, and every rotten and weaponized institution within it, has exclusively targeted Donald Trump.Yet, he remains standing – empowered by something larger and more unexplainable than any force we comprehend.Those words are not arbitrarily chosen, they are the reality of our situation and not an intellectually honest friend or foe would dispute them.No one has withstood more unilaterally focused assault as we have seen...

Dozens of demonstrators protested in Kfar Uria, west of Jersualem, Saturday morning against National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who spent the weekend in the village. The protesters made noise using megaphones and airhorns near the synagogue where the minister was praying. Residents were angered by the noise during the services and requested that the protesters leave the premises. A confrontation developed at the scene, including throwing firecrackers, stones, and smoke grenades at the protesters. Two protesters were arrested, and a counter-protester was arrested on suspicion he threw stones. In video footage, one of the protesters, Yishai Hadas from the "Crime...

The distress call rang out early this morning over Truth Social and, despite the revelation of such predictable judicial corruption, brought about tremendous shock. President Trump announced that a plan was in place to have him arrested three days from now, on Tuesday, March 21. (IMAGE OF TRUMP'S TWEET) If this arrest comes to fruition, it will go down as an even bigger political hitjob than the RussiaGate conspiracy, especially since no former U.S. President has ever faced charges in the history of the country. The Manhattan District Attorney’s office is seeking to snare Trump into the Stormy Daniels dispute,...

A dog owner almost turned his best friend into his worst enemy after trying to cheat the animal during lunch time. In a viral YouTube clip shared by Viral Hog, a Montana-based video licensing agency, the dog is seen sitting at a table on which there are two packages of hamburgers, one for the owner and the other for the dog. Everywhere is calm when the owner opens his package. But when the dog's package gets opened, everywhere becomes noisy.

“Jesus Opens Your Eyes--and Your Tongue” (John 9:1-41) The Holy Gospel for today is John chapter 9, the story of the man born blind. But he doesn’t stay blind, once Jesus comes along. Jesus does several things for this man: He opens his eyes physically. He opens his eyes spiritually. And he opens the man’s tongue, as well. And the good news is, he does these things for you also. And so our theme this morning: “Jesus Opens Your Eyes--and Your Tongue.” First, Jesus opens the man’s eyes physically. Now that is really something, isn’t it? Maybe we gloss right...

The Soros-backed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg isn’t known for his intellectual dexterity. The NY DA’s made-up crimes against President Trump look more like an Andrew Weissmann special. The Manhattan DA doesn’t have the ability to come up with the comingled mess of a case that his office is attempting against the President of the United States, Donald Trump. He’s just not too bright. So he needed lots of help. Reports are that his Chief Assistant DA Meg Reiss is the mastermind but was this really her insane and sadistic idea? This looks and smells like an Andrew Weissmann special. Weissmann,...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is gearing up for a run for President. But today’s silence about New York’s prosecutorial abuse against President Trump is not helping him one bit. President Trump is crushing all other candidates from either party in polls for the 2024 Presidential race. Joe Biden is a disgrace and the most hated person to ever step into the White House. And this is before the upcoming economic meltdown. President Trump is leading all GOP candidates for President and hopefuls. Many people believe Ron DeSantis should back President Trump to bring the party together. But DeSantis’s actions to...

Strange days, indeed. Despite endless promises from Washington DC that there would never be another bank bailout, the Biden Administration bailed out Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) by removing the $250,000 cap on deposit insurance. Then Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen added that in the future, only banks that posed SYSTEMIC RISK to the economy will be bailed out. Translation: only the big four Too Big To Fail (TBTF) banks will be bailed out. Meaning that the Biden Administration prefers big banks to community banks. “Middle-class Joe” loves BIG Pharma, BIG defense, BIG tech, BIG media and now BIG banks. He should...

Maryland Delegate Charlotte Crutchfield (D-Montgomery) has introduced the Youth Accountability and Safety Act (HB1180). This bill would lessen the penalty for murders committed by persons below the age of 26 as long as the killing takes place during the commission of a rape or carjacking. Crutchfield explained that “persons under the age of 26 aren’t mentally mature enough to know the difference between right and wrong. Consequently, a distressing number of them commit murders that ruin their lives. I want these youngsters to have a chance to rehabilitate themselves. They can’t do that if they’re executed or sent to prison...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

The dogs listed in this article do not need to stand trial because judging by the funny pictures below, they are guilty as charged. These hilarious photos of dogs caught in the act stealing food, pooping in the corner, and destroying toys are a classic Internet case of "shock and aww."
