A Regina family has stumbled upon what one company is calling “the greatest unopened find of the 21st century” that could be worth millions. According to Heritage Auctions, the family found an unopened case of 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee hockey cards that are the only known case from Wayne Gretzky’s rookie season, which would mean a pretty penny for serious collectors. The case features 16 boxes of 48 packs with 14 cards per pack, meaning there are 10,752 cards in the unopened case. And while many of those cards won’t be worth much, there could be several that could be worth thousands...

Great 3m32s video, excellent summary of the lies the Left/Globalists are pushing. Hit the source link.

While lying has been with us from time immemorial. In today’s age it is different, in most respects worse. “Age of Deception” -- simple words, yet together they convey danger. Deception is defined as the act of hiding the truth to gain an advantage. Simply put -- lying. An age is a division of time, an era. These three words are often referred to in books dealing with treacherous epochs. Even the Bible references these words, describing an era of deception against God’s people. Crafty truths about doctrine which leads humanity towards end times. Plato stated “False words are not...

According to the filing, after (Heritage Foundation) Dewey pointed out that the DOJ could “alleviate the exigency” by “seeking to delay the plea hearing,” (DOJ Attorney) Lynch admitted that his counterpart was “‘absolutely right’ that the Department COULD file such a motion and that DOJ Counsel would take that point back to the ‘District’ (presumably speaking of the District of Delaware).” (snip) Federal prosecutors have refused to turn over any of the records even after the foundation’s lawyers filed a Freedom of Information Act Request. (snip) The Heritage Foundation and House Republican leaders have requested access to communications between Weiss...

Given the multitudinous investigations of former President Donald Trump, let’s first make sure we’re all on the same page about which investigation we’re talking about, here.As opposed to the recently-filed federal indictment on 37 felony counts related to Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents, this article is related to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s filing of 34 counts for falsifying business records related to alleged hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election campaign.Trump pleaded not guilty in both cases.Anyway, the conservative Heritage Foundation filed two lawsuits against Bragg on Monday in an attempt...

The Right Reverend David Farrer and Dixieland multi-instrumentalist Emzak combine for a poetic micro-movie at historic building Ercildoune in Footscray, Australia, wondering what is going wrong and what is going right in the process of learning from the past?

In a striking indication of the American right’s increasingly skeptical view of costly foreign interventionism, the Heritage Foundation took an aggressive stance against the $40 billion aid package approved by Congress earlier this month. In a May 10 statement ahead of the House vote, Heritage executive director Jessica Anderson said, “This proposed Ukraine aid package takes money away from the priorities of the American people and recklessly sends our taxpayer dollars to a foreign nation without any accountability. America is struggling with record-setting inflation, debt, a porous border, crime and energy depletion yet progressives in Washington are prioritizing a $40...

Monuments to Christopher Columbus are regularly vandalized throughout the Americas, but Spain remains faithful to his memory. Last week, I visited Seville Cathedral, where his supposed remains are carried shoulder-high by massive statues representing the kings of Castille, Leon, Navarre, and Aragon.... ...The anniversary of his reaching the New World, Oct. 12, is Spain’s national day. The only concession to modern sensibilities is that it is now known as the Día de la Hispanidad rather than the Día de la Raza. Seville’s Plaza de España is connected to the Plaza de America by streets named after Hernan Cortes and Francisco...

In Australia's socialist left governed police state of Victoria, a man can be arrested for lobbying a female politician for World War Two memorial tree plantings. A man can be hauled before a family violence court if a woman does not like the way he looks at her. The police can throw a religious man in jail for conducting a mass. (Cardinal George Pell) The price of liberty IS eternal vigilance against the dangers of leftist crap. Remembering and honoring the heroes of WW2 is one way to oppose modern PC political stupidity.

Former President Donald Trump blasted the Cleveland Indians Friday over their name change announcement.

The Rugby Football Union (RFU) has dropped the nickname “Saxons” for one of the top England teams following a Black Lives Matter-inspired diversity review into the sport. England’s second team, which has been referred to as the “Saxons” since 2006, will have its name changed back to the old “England A” team when they face off against Scotland A in Leicester in June, in order “to reflect the diversity in society”. Announcing their decision to scrap the “inappropriate” nickname, an RFU spokesman told The Times: “We have chosen to revert to the traditional name of ‘England A’ for this fixture...

Heritage Action executive director Jessica Anderson, who has continually highlighted the left’s lies on Georgia’s election integrity law, slammed Major League Baseball after it announced it would pull the All-Star game and Draft from Atlanta over the law. “It’s a shame the MLB has taken an American pastime and weaponized it against a majority of Americans who support common sense voting reforms. Maybe they should move to Beijing,” she remarked: Democrats claim the law suppresses minority votes, but this, again, is false. Heritage Action explained the Georgia law “was silent on Sunday early voting days prior to SB 202, and...

Defendant planned to carry out act of domestic terrorismA Colorado man was sentenced today in federal court in Colorado for plotting to blow up a synagogue.Richard Holzer, 28, was sentenced to over 19 years in prison, followed by 15 years of supervised release. Holzer previously pleaded guilty to federal hate crime and explosives charges for plotting to blow up the Temple Emanuel Synagogue in Pueblo, Colorado, conduct that constituted acts of domestic terrorism. Holzer told undercover FBI agents that he wanted the bombing to send a message to Jewish people that they must leave his town, “otherwise people will die.”Holzer...

At the just-wrapped Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, headlining speaker Donald Trump made an inflammatory speech from a strange, zig-zagging stage. The speech, of course, drew attention, but it featured largely the kind of content we have grown to expect from the former president. The stage itself, however, drew anger for its shape — identical to that of the Odal or Othala rune, historically used as a Nazi insignia.

Former Vice President Mike Pence is joining the Heritage Foundation, he and the conservative organization announced on Thursday. Pence, the former governor of Indiana who became former President Donald Trump’s running mate in 2016 and served as his vice president for four years, will be a distinguished visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation.

Who and what we are is a huge determinant of what we can be. A Biden presidency born in stripping his predecessor of the basic right to speak cannot end well. Can Biden find a way to be magnanimous to Donald Trump?

Now it is already International Human Rights Day (December 10) in the police state of Victoria in Southeast Australia and I have posted this little micro-movie to stress how important maintenance of traditions is to maintaining human rights. (NB In Australian slang a “mug” can be both a drinking cup and a dupe or person who is easily fooled and taken advantage of.) After World War Two, the world got together and established the Universal Declaration of Human Rights so that fascism could not rise again. Totalitarian group think has risen again to directly threaten the very fabric of western...

Thanksgiving Day, November 26th this year, is an annual holiday in which we thank God for our blessings. It’s a source of nostalgic family memories of past Thanksgiving dinners, as well as remembering those who have passed away. This year, 2020, is the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims’ arrival to Plymouth Rock. Remember the song, “The year 1620 the Pilgrims came over …”? Well, 1620 was 400 years ago. Who were the Pilgrims?
