President Joe Biden has initiated a new directive that would prohibit the use of the terms “alien” or “illegal alien” in official immigration communications. The preferred term going forward for illegal immigrants will be “non-citizens” or other “inclusive” terms. Acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Tracy Renaud signed a memo encouraging the “more inclusive language in the agency’s outreach efforts, internal documents and in overall communication with stakeholders, partners and the general public.” Axios reports, “Other changes include using ‘undocumented noncitizen’ or ‘undocumented individual’ rather than ‘illegal alien’ and ‘integration or civic integration’ instead of ‘assimilation.'” Axios reports,...

There’s no common sense to any of this. I am in control of my life. I’m going to do what my God given inalienable rights as an American and a human allow me to do'.. Masks “don’t work,” reveal a panel of doctors in LifeSiteNews’ recent “Unmasking COVID-19,” conference, who warned about how mask mandates are being used to bring about “Nazi-like” control of the populace. As part of the LifeSiteNews unique event, Dr. Sheri Tenpenny, Dr. Eric Nepute and Dr. Pam Popper formed a panel discussion dealing with the issues of masks and vaccines, in which they highlighted the...

“The real insanity is that the two states that are the absolute worst in the country, California and New York where more people are fleeing from than anywhere else, are the very ones imposing their ideas now upon the entire country. California became a state on September 9, 1850. Cyclically, California goes into an absolute economic crisis in 2022! So readers in California, the worst is yet to come! Don’t forget your thank you cards to Newsom and Pelosi.“

Trump Derangement Syndrome can have such a powerful effect on people that it can cause them to inadvertently praise their targets while simultaneously slamming their TDS allies without them even being aware of it. This can produce quite a comical effect as was the case of the Friday article in Washingtonian magazine in which Jessica Sidman attempts to slam President Donald Trump and his friends but, due to the TDS boomerang effect, does just the opposite. You can see Sidman's intended target in the title of the article, "Trump Hotel Employees Reveal What It Was Really Like Catering to the...

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on May 1 last year prohibiting bulk power system equipment from foreign companies in the U.S. grid, citing security concerns. The U.S. Department of Energy noted that under the current rules, contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder when it comes to bulk power system procurement, and that creates a “vulnerability that can be exploited by those with malicious intent.” U.S. Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette said that it is imperative that “the bulk-power system be secured against exploitation and attacks by foreign threats.” Analysts believe this means that the United States will...

After enduring multiple days of freezing temperatures and Texans dripping faucets to prevent frozen pipes from bursting, cities across the state warned residents that water levels are dangerously low and may be unsafe to drink. They’re telling Texans to boil tap water for drinking, cooking, brushing their teeth, and making ice — as residents have been struggling to maintain power and heat while an unprecedented winter storm whips across the state. While activities such as showering and doing laundry are safe, cities underwater boil notices are asking people to conserve water if at all possible. Approximately 590 public water systems...

I’m old enough to remember when a U.S. President got blamed for every one of these deaths by the corrupt national news media. – Yeah, but that was a month ago. Now that a Democrat sock puppet is in office, he won’t get blamed for the fact that more than 100,000 Americans supposedly died from COVID-19 during the first month of his presidency. That, of course, is according to the official count, which we have all known for almost a year now is radically overblown. But still, 100,000 in a month seems like a lot, doesn’t it? Seems like something...

Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff visited their Los Angeles home this weekend, they returned for the first time since she took office. Harris had initially planned to depart Thursday but was delayed by a snow and ice storm in Washington. Many Presidential and vice-presidential visits to Los Angeles often result in traffic tie-ups as the Secret Service and local law enforcement block off roads to provide secure motorcade access. No schedules or plans for road closures have been announced at this point, although there will be restrictions on air traffic, including media helicopters, over the area....

he White House said on Thursday a severe winter storm engulfing Texas and nearby states was the type of extreme weather event that climate change is triggering, rejecting assertions by Texas officials that “green energy” caused widespread power outages. The crisis in the largest U.S. oil- and gas-producing state has put Democratic President Joe Biden’s White House squarely at odds with Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who initially did not acknowledge Biden’s 2020 election win. Abbott had ordered state officials in January to fight Biden’s push here to combat climate change by pausing new oil and gas leases, and cutting...

Texas has been at the mercy of an unprecedented winter storm, which has left many of the state’s residents without heat, power and potable water for several days. Several people, some homeless, have died in the freezing temperatures. As Texans withstand widespread power outages and freezing temperatures this week, many are asking the same question: How much am I going to be charged for the electricity I do receive? The complex answer, according to experts in the Texas power industry, depends on whether residential customers signed long-term contracts with their providers or decided to take their chances paying wholesale market...

In Biden’s America, almost every American value is dying. The political correctness mobs, the seminars, the pseudo-intellectual race theories—they’re all trickling through and it will take brave whistleblowers to expose this nonsense. An internal whistleblower leaked images of Coca-Cola’s online training modules instructing employees to “try to be less white.” “Confronting Racism: Understanding what it means to be white, challenging what it means to be racist” “Try to be less white” To be less white is to: Be less oppressive Be less arrogant Be less certain Be less defensive Be less arrogant Be more humble Listen Believe Break with apathy...

Andrew Cuomo Killing the Old Folks Update. – The problems from his mass-sentencing of thousands of his state’s nursing home residents to death in their nursing homes continue to pile up for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. The scandal has now grown to such proportions that even sleazy old Alec Baldwin is so repulsed that he felt the need to weight in his thoughts on the matter yesterday.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has been accused of traveling to Cancun, Mexico, amid the ongoing crisis in Texas, where millions have been left without power or heat in freezing temperatures. Photos circulating on social media overnight appeared to show the senator at an airport and on an airplane. The idea that Cruz and his family had flown to Mexico soon spread on Twitter. LinkLinkTed Cruz was photographed at IAH in the United lounge flying from Houston to Cancun. AP confirmed that Cruz traveled to Mexico on Wednesday for a family vacation. The high-profile Republican lawmaker went for a long-planned trip...

Wikipedia states that Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is a pejorative term usually for criticism or negative reactions to United States President Donald Trump that are perceived to be irrational, and have little regard towards Trump’s actual policy positions, or actions undertaken by his administration. And it seems that the Speaker of the House is suffering from TDS. During her daily press conference, the U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday that the House Energy and Commerce Committee will be probing the events in Texas, where a winter storm paralyzed the state’s energy grid, leaving many without power...

VIDEOWe all knew it was coming yet when the passing of the great Rush Limbaugh was announced, we were all shocked.

Big Tech’s efforts to restrict user access to various Internet platforms are a serious challenge, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with leaders of parliamentary factions on Wednesday. He responded to the recent statements made by Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of the State Duma (lower house), who put the spotlight on Big Tech’s violation of freedom of speech. “What you said about these so-called platforms, IT companies, is a serious challenge not only for us – we see what has happened in the [United] States,” Putin noted. According to him, it is quite obvious that such an “ideological divide” runs...

Andrew Cuomo could be in real trouble, finally. – I know it’s hard to believe that any Democrat public official in this country could ever be in real trouble, given the devoted efforts of the entirety of the corrupt national news media to provide cover for them. Least of all, Andrew Cuomo, who the media has virtually deified during the COVID pandemic, pretending that his utterly disastrous responses to the virus was somehow a role model for other governors to emulate. But he really could be in trouble now, mainly because even his fellow Democrats in New York are beginning...

Music—specifically popular rock music—can have a polarizing effect on listeners. One fan's favorite band is the one another person detests most. As head-scratching as it may be, there are even people who hate the Beatles. That's because art is subjective by nature, so it's difficult to assess with an analytical or mathematical approach. But that didn't stop us from trying to do just that. At Best Life, we set out to use data to determine the most hated rock band of all time. Once we had our list, we looked at five key metrics, from expert opinions to fan surveys....

I heard of the passing of the one and only Rush Limbaugh this morning. Here are some thoughts about what he showed us, and what I believe is the next step we should take. Your thoughts are welcome. RIP, Rush!

During the impeachment trial lawyers for former President, Donald Trump made a claim that the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot was the work of “Antifa.” A small group who came to engage in violent and menacing behavior hijacked the event for their own purposes. According to publicly available reporting, it is apparent that extremists of various different stripes and political persuasions preplanned and premeditated and attacked on the capitol,” Trump’s lawyer Michael van der Veen said. “One of the first people arrested was the leader of Antifa. Sadly, he was also among the first to be released.” The allegation seemed...
