We are all ecstatic fans of amazing transformation stories. Whether it’s a drunkard who has quitted drinking, thereby turning their life around, or a sick person who's gotten their health back, we can’t help but celebrate with people whose lives have changed from worst to better. The same thing goes for our animal friends, including dogs. I’ve compiled a list of the most heartwarming transformation photos of dogs.

A world-renowned psychiatrist says an evil cabal of powerful elites, including National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, tech billionaire Bill Gates, and World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab, created the COVID pandemic to push the deadly vaccines on an unsuspecting public, and usher in a “new world order.”Dr. Peter Breggin argues in a new book that the U.S. government began its vaccine rollout by enticing people to get the experimental shot using various bribes, then moved on to forcing the injections on unwilling people by threatening their employment, imposing higher health insurance rates, making it more...

While many Americans will go to any length to buy American and will choose a Smith & Wesson or Colt when it comes to handguns, just like many Americans swear by Ford and GM, there are those who prefer what the Europeans use. In the case of cars it might be BMWs and Mercedes. In handguns, it means Sig Sauer and, more commonly, Glock.

Cassandra Fairbanks is a writer for the so-called conservative outlet The Gateway Pundit. Here’s an article published on the Gateway Pundit yesterday: EXCLUSIVE: Capital One Cancels Proud Boys Leader Enrique Tarrio’s Credit Card Over ‘Adverse Past or Present Legal Action’ The article deplores the fact that Enrique has been banned by credit card processors and one or more of his bank accounts were closed in the aftermath of the Capitol riots. Moreover, the Gateway Pundit asks its readers to help Enrique with donations: As Tarrio was sending this comment to Gateway, he discovered that he was also banned from his...

There has been a significant amount of coverage recently of Joe Biden’s nominee to serve as the head of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Tracy Stone-Manning was granted legal immunity back in 1993 for her testimony that she retyped and mailed an anonymous letter to the U.S. Forest Service on behalf of a friend, John P. Blount. The letter warned the Forest Service that trees in an area about to be logged had been spiked, meaning heavy metal spikes had been driven into the trees to deter logging. Per the usual highly partisan coverage, the story is cast as...

Byron Donalds is a House representative from Florida. He grew up in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn NY and was raised by a single mother. He graduated from FSU with a BS in finance and marketing. He appeared on CNN and had an exchange with host Brianna Keilar to discuss the report that he had been blocked from joining the Congressional Black Caucus. BTW, Donalds is a Trump supporter. Watch as the arrogant and smug Keilar tries to teach the black man about life: Rep. @ByronDonalds says he is being denied entry into the Congressional Black Caucus because he...

The Senate on Tuesday voted 68–32 to approve a sweeping package of legislation intended to boost the country’s ability to compete with Chinese technology, as Congress increasingly seeks to take a tough line against Beijing. The bipartisan measure authorizes about $190 billion for provisions to strengthen U.S. technology and research—and would separately approve spending about $50 billion to increase U.S. production and research into semiconductors and telecommunications equipment.

"The forgotten man and woman" propelled Donald Trump to his shocking electoral victory in 2016. Understanding the perspective of these voters is essential regardless of one's political perspective. My February 17, 2017 lecture at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York:

Those of us who watch the world of politics, the media, and pop-culture have noticed a shocking change in the past five years. It is tempting to assume that the main change is in the outright acceptance of Marxism. By the end of the Obama administration, the Left became comfortable advocating blatantly socialist positions, to the point that the current Democratic party platform now advocates positions as authoritarian as any Marxist country. But even that should not be such a shock, because the Democratic Party has been trending that way for a century. The massive growth in government, the disregard...

Four days ago, the governor of Tennessee signed into law a new “bathroom bill,” which protects access to bathrooms based on biological sex. In Arizona, during a special Senate meeting, one of the firms conducting the audit revealed that they were able to recover data that they thought was deleted.

Matt "Matty in the Morning" Siegel has been bullied and harassed off the air, possibly permanently. Siegel dared to have fun during a segment about Demi Lovato who has changed or expanded genders. Today, Siegel allegedly mocked Lovato’s newfound gender or at least spoke about it in a lighthearted way and that was all she wrote. In discussions over gender, droll observations, or for that matter anything less than positive observations, are forbidden. "I was told by my boss I cannot talk about what I want to talk about — by the way it's a joke, the whole binary thing....

Finally, after all the magic tricks, Khamenei pulled his rabbit (Ibrahim Raeisi) out of the magic hat to put an end to all the ambiguities and rumors about the kind of president he wanted. He had already prepared the grounds and specific scenario for his candidate on April 21. On the one hand, a letter was sent by 220 members of parliament affiliated with Khamenei’s faction, asking Raeisi to run for the presidency in this critical situation to save the country from this situation. On the other hand, he had eliminated potential rivals such as Hassan Khomeini (grandson of Ruhollah...

Many people have wondered about who was responsible for the killing of Ashli Babbitt in the Capitol on January 6 but now even a Congressman is demanding answers. Republican Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar is among those who want answers and he demanded them during a House Oversight and Reform Committee on Wednesday. The representative asked former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen if any firearms were confiscated from the attendees at the pro-Donald Trump rally at the Capitol. (Video in story)

Biden administration is willing to throw Israel under the bus to gain favor at the United Nations and with the globalist crowd The Biden administration’s ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, met virtually on April 21st with Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini. According to an official readout of this meeting, Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield “underscored the critical role that UNRWA plays in providing vital services to a vulnerable population and reiterated Secretary [of State] Blinken’s pledge of partnership with the agency.” The Biden administration wasted no time announcing that it would...

America was slow to go on the offensive in 1917 and in 1941, but in the end, America triumphed and saved western civilization twice. Can patriotic Americans again enter the game late to save America and the free world one more time? I came of voting age in 1967, a few days after I returned to the United States from my first tour as an Army helicopter pilot in Vietnam. I was raised by a hard and fast Democrat, and as many of my generation, rather than learning about the ramifications of my vote, I voted the way my dad...

American justice is no longer blind. It can see, but only conservatives On January 6, decorated U.S. Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt was killed by a U.S. Capitol Police officer. She was among the crowd of protesters who entered the U.S. Capitol and was shot as she attempted to climb through a broken door outside the Speaker’s lobby, an area that leads to the House Chamber. Babbitt was unarmed and should not have been considered a threat by police officers. She was not a convicted criminal, in fact, she was a military hero. Babbitt served in the U.S. Air Force...

Forget Orwell’s “1984,” let’s talk about something that happened in the actual 1984. That year, the movie “Night of the Comet” appeared in theatres. It was a bad movie but the plot was interesting. In short, a comet passed close to Earth and either vaporized everyone or turned them into zombies. Almost everyone. 18-year-old Regina "Reggie" Belmont, played by actress Catherine Mary Stewart survived because she was in a steel movie projection room inside a theatre. Anyone who spent the night in a steel structure had avoided vaporization and zombification. And so it went. A small group of survivors with...
