PART ONE The Department of Justice has announced it’s mounting a full-scale operation to arrest and charge people who broke into the Capitol on January 6. There will be a wide-ranging menu of charges, starting with criminal trespass, and moving all the way to weapons possession, theft of National Security data, assault, and sedition. The DOJ list of charges is meant to impress the American people. Of course, an impressive DOJ list could have been leveled against thousands of people who participated in Antifa/BLM-led burning, looting, theft, and assault across the US over the past six months. But that didn’t...

Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping signed Central Military Commission Order No. 1, to "implement Xi Jinping's thinking on strengthening the military," "focus on war preparedness," make better use of advanced technologies in training and weapons systems, and improve joint training and operations among the People's Liberation Army's military branches. One of Xi's greatest concerns is preventing the independence of Taiwan and ensuring that United States support for Taiwan be militarily challenged by constant People's Liberation Army (PLA) readiness. It is worth noting that in the mobilization order for training issued on January 2, 2020, Xi Jinping stressed that the...

he woman who was punched and left bloodied by a drunk Black Lives Matter supporter during the Trump protest in DC on Tuesday was doxed by her own liberal daughter on social media.

Former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter will not attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. It marks the first time the couple, 96 and 93, will have missed the ceremonies since Carter was sworn in as the 39th president in 1977. […] Separately, former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura will attend the inauguration in person. Their spokesman, Freddy Ford, said, “President and Mrs. Bush look forward to returning to the Capitol for the swearing in of President Biden and Vice President Harris.” The announcement from Bush, a Republican, came a day before Congress was scheduled...

The "Great Reset" initiative to "reform" free enterprise and the world's democratic systems promoted by globalists as a response to the coronavirus pandemic will be featured at a World Economic Forum event in January that will serve as a run-up to its annual Davos meeting of the world's most influential business and political leaders. "The time to rebuild trust and to make crucial choices is fast approaching as the need to reset priorities and the urgency to reform systems grow stronger around the world," WEF said in a preview. The virtual series, called "The Great Reset Dialogues," is scheduled for...

One is thriving after switching from online public school to in-person private education. The other is struggling, stuck in her virtual classroom. The lives of these two girls, Ella Pierick and Afiya Harris, encapsulate the growing divide in U.S. education as more affluent parents flee public schools. In Connecticut, enrollment fell 3%. Colorado reported a similar decline, with the steepest losses in one of its wealthiest counties. Chicago’s rosters dipped 4.1%, the most in 20 years. Parents with means are instead homeschooling; joining with other families to hire teachers in so-called pandemic pods; or signing up for private schools. Poor...

Dominion Voting Systems sent a threatening letter to Attorney Sidney Powell demanding a retraction of her “defamatory” accusations. Dominion is very upset with the allegations that the Dominion machines were flipping ballots from Trump to Biden something that was proven in court earlier this week! And there are at least five videos of voting machine companies flipping votes from Trump to Biden on live TV on election night. This has never been explained.

China’s communist regime is sounding increasingly triumphalist in the wake of the economic destruction wreaked by the coronavirus pandemic that originated in Wuhan, China. “China’s Communist Party, under its leader, Xi Jinping, has promoted the idea that the country is on a trajectory to power past Western rivals,” the New York Times reports. The China’s Communist Party (CCP) propaganda characterizes Western countries, and the United States in particular, as being crippled by the virus and internal strife – with one retired Chinese general going so far as to call the United States a “defeated power” in the “fight against the...

Minneapolis City Council unanimously approved a controversial budget which is set to move $8million of funding from the police department to violence prevention, mental health services and other programs. Mayor Jacob Frey, who had threatened to veto the entire budget if the council went ahead with a plan to cap police staffing, said the vote was a defining moment for the city which was the first to be hit by anti-police protests following the death of George Floyd. But the city has been plagued by soaring violent crime in the city has soared - with homicide, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary,...

Chinese scientists claim to have built a quantum computer that is able to perform certain computations nearly 100 trillion times faster than the world’s most advanced supercomputer, representing the first milestone in the country’s efforts to develop the technology. The researchers have built a quantum computer prototype that is able to detect up to 76 photons through Gaussian boson sampling, a standard simulation algorithm, the state-run Xinhua news agency said, citing research published in Science magazine. That’s exponentially faster than existing supercomputers. The breakthrough represents a quantum computational advantage, also known as quantum supremacy, in which no traditional computer can...

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán lambasted billionaire plutocrat George Soros as “one of the most corrupt people in the world” after he called on the European Union to make Hungary and Poland submit to “open society” values. “George Soros is threatening Hungary and Poland,” Prime Minister Orbán told Kossuth Rádió on Friday, referencing the 90-year-old arch-activist’s public lobbying of the EU deprive the conservative-led central European countries of funding. “George Soros is one of the most corrupt people in the world; he has plenty of politicians in his pocket who now want to blackmail Hungary and Poland for access to...

What Is “The Great Reset”? According to an article on The Hill, “The Great Reset” is a plan “by the planet’s most powerful business leaders, government officials and activists [who] announced a proposal to ‘reset’ the global economy. Instead of traditional capitalism, the high-profile group said the world should adopt more socialistic policies, such as wealth taxes, additional regulations and massive Green New Deal-like government programs.” And how does the global oligarchy intend to carry out “The Great Reset”? They’re seizing the global pandemic as the perfect opportunity to roll out this plan. While most of the ordinary citizenry are...

“It was a McCarthyism type of pounding,” said Congresswoman Donna Shalala, looking back on the election she narrowly lost this month. Shalala had spent eight years serving in the Cabinet of Bill Clinton, the paragon of Democratic moderates, but by the end of her reelection campaign, she told Intelligencer, people were coming up to her and saying, “You’re a communist.” “It was nasty, I’ve been in politics for a long time, this was vicious,” she said, as it was for a number of other Democrats in south Florida who lost their seats in races up and down the ticket in...

Rubio and Bonnie Perdue, Sen. David Perdue’s (R-GA) wife, held a rally at the Cobb County, Georgia, GOP headquarters.

We should start playing by their rules. We’ve seen them in use for years. Time to turn the tables. From the Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky?

For as long as there have been elections, there have been high-profile people threatening to leave the country if the race doesn’t go their way. The 2020 presidential race is no exception. Although stars like Lena Dunham, Jon Stewart, Samuel L. Jackson and countless others previously made the empty promise to ditch the United States if Donald Trump became president in 2016, the 2020 race is perhaps even more contentious in the minds of Hollywood stars. In fact, Trump himself has joked that he may have to leave the country if his opponent, Joe Biden, wins. With Election Day just...

I was born in Cuba in 1958, and I remember the struggles my family went through in order to emigrate (legally) to the United States. Being an independent thinker and a freedom lover was a threat to the intolerable Castro regime. As soon as my father requested an American resident visa, the Cuban government turned on us. My dad was fired from his job as a building superintendent and mandated to forced labor in the sugar-cane fields of Cuba. It took Castro eight years to finally approve our departure from Cuba, but during those long eight years, I grew up...

A former adjunct professor at George Mason University ignited a backlash on Twitter this week when he argued that Americans need to “actively topple” the government if Donald Trump wins November’s presidential election. Former George Mason University instructor and academic David A. Walsh came under fire this week for a series of tweets in which he called on Americans to take down the government if President Trump wins reelection next week. “Here’s the thing: if the worst-case scenario happens next week, Americans don’t need to just “protest.” They need to actively try to topple the government,” Walsh wrote in a...

This is the second in a multi-part view regarding my unapologetic contempt for the pernicious heterodoxy prostituted as Critical Race Theory (CRT). As I stated in Part One of this unmasking of the satanic lie of CRT, not only am I a born-again Christian; I am also an ordained minister, i.e., reverend. As such any acceptance and/or attempt to inject even a modicum of truth to a lie of Satan is blasphemous, which is why I'm not hesitant to reserve my harshest condemnation for those churches and ministers who preach, support and/or recognize that which God condemns.
