I participated in a Standout this past Saturday in my Bluest of Blue states. This is probably the fourth one I have been to in the past several months, and every single one of them was very satisfying and even entertaining. We always had good turnouts on our side, excellent responses from the citizenry passing in their cars, and a total lack of Leftists. The Conservatives standing out the prior weekend in the same location said they had several Leftists who were mingling in and causing problems, so they asked if we could attend their standout to bolster their numbers...

Kamala Harris made a campaign stop on Saturday at a spice shop known to openly discriminate against Republicans while calling for an end to political “division.” The spice shop, Penzeys Spices in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, welcomed the Democrat nominee to browse the store and meet some supporters. While facing a gaggle of reporters, Harris claimed, “It’s time to turn the page on the divisiveness. It’s time to bring our country together, chart a new way forward.” “A lot of what I think is happening, and I was just talking with some folks here in Pittsburgh about it, is that people are...

A Penzeys Spices insider says founder and CEO Bill Penzey's frequent left-wing rants in emails to customers have lost the company more than half of its retail business over the past five years. "It's been devastating," explains the insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "In 2017, our retail operations department flat out said that Bill's attacks had cost the company 50 percent of our customers." Penzey has for years made political assaults on Republicans and conservatives a routine part of his "A Note from Bill" emails to customers, but the insider says he ratcheted up his rhetoric after Donald...

I walk my dogs around my town twice a day. I’ve always known it was a 96% white and 99% liberal town. It’s the kind of California town with yoga studios and health food stores. The rules are very strict. My brother, who is building a house here, had to go to court three times to fight for a gas stove in his new house. It’s the kind of place that has those lawn signs, you know: I’ve lived here for about a year. I am ordinarily a city girl, but there are reasons for me to be here right...

MADISON, Wis. -- Hundreds of students took to Library Mall on the campus of the University of Wisconsin Monday, in protest of the Israel-Hamas war. A group called "Students for Justice in Palestine - UW Madison" organized the event. It defined its protest against "ongoing genocide and Zionist war crimes in Gaza, and against the new wave of student repression across the country." Protesters have demanded for an end to the war, as well as for UW-Madison to divest from corporations that do business in Israel. Speaking to News 3 Now, Students for Justice in Palestine member Dahlia Saba said...

Could it be possible that history is about to repeat itself? On April 8th, the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will complete the giant “X” over America that the Great American Eclipse of 2017 started. Meanwhile, the Devil Comet will be racing through our solar system for the first time in 71 years. Most of you already know all this. But what is not widely known is that we have seen this same pattern before. In 1811, a solar eclipse finished the giant “X” over the heartland of America that a solar eclipse in 1806 had started, and meanwhile Tecumseh’s...

Good morning, C&C family, it’s Friday! This morning’s post tumbles down the Great American Eclipse rabbit hole, with at least one wild, rarely-mentioned conspiracy theory surviving scrutiny; and the next 100-year pandemic has probably not arrived 96 years early, in spite of what the media wants you to believe. This morning I gave in to the eclipse hype — everyone else is talking about it. I put it all under a skeptical microscope, but at least one conspiracy theory remained not easily explained. Let’s begin with Forbes’ spooky story yesterday, headlined “Here’s Why The Total Solar Eclipse Has Prompted States...

Millennial and Gen-Z women say they've been inspired to convert to Islam by the Israel-Hamas war - and are sharing their religious awakenings on TikTok. Recent converts say the conflict, which began with the murder of 1,200 Israelis on October 7, become a driving factor for their decision to join the Muslim faith. Experts suggested for many, the choice is the 'ultimate rebellion against the West'. Among those sharing their journey is a self-described 'leftist queer gremlin' named Alex, who recently purchased a copy of the Quran - even though most interpretations of Islam take a dim view of LGBT...

The counterculture is now aware of False Flags. Operations that are executed by the powers that be and blamed on someone else are now being called out in real-time on social media platforms despite the censorship. It’s becoming popular. And if the powers that be can no longer trick us, then they will try and hurt us. According to the scientific data, nearly all humans have a certain degree of psychic awareness. And some of us become acutely aware of it. The term, Remote Viewing, was coined by the US Department of Defense when they began training people in this...

Eric Hecker is a whistleblower, who has testified to Congress, under oath about what he saw while working at the South Pole. Yes in Antartica. Hecker is former Navy and defense contractor for Raytheon. While working at the South Pole Eric witnessed some stunning things, including directed energy weapons and other technologies that can trigger earthquakes. What he saw was illegal, off the books and unknown to Congress and many in the Pentagon.

Google Maps users claim to have stumbled upon a potential hidden Nazi bunker after spotting what appears to be a mysterious door concealed in Antarctica. The sighting has reignited the popular internet conspiracy theory that suggests surviving Nazis sought refuge in a military base on the icy continent following World War II. The discovery of this "door" was initially shared by an observant Facebook user on July 30 and quickly went viral. The image reveals a shadowy square-shaped mark resembling a hidden entrance on the eastern side of the vast ice sheet. Conspiracy theorists have since speculated on the purpose...

"Humanity has become a weapon of mass extinction," the head of the United Nations has warned at the start of a high-level nature summit in Canada. Governments are meeting in Montreal to agree targets to reverse the loss of nature. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said we have a chance to stop the "orgy of destruction" which has put a million species at risk of extinction. "It's time to forge a peace pact with nature," he added. Biodiversity is the sum of all living things on the planet and the way they are connected in a complex web of life that...

Climate activists imagine a world in which all the burden falls on the rich. On Friday morning, two young women approached Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunflowers,” on display in the National Gallery in London, and hurled tomato soup across the blooms, before gluing themselves to the gallery wall. The two activists were part of a climate-protest outfit with an illuminating name: Just Stop Oil. Celebrating their vandalism, the group declared that the “disruption is in response to the government’s inaction on both the cost of living crisis and the climate crisis,” and that it was deliberately timed to protest both the...

DENVER/HOUSTON (Reuters) - As Texas officials moved to restrict abortion, promote Christianity in schools and the state's power grid teetered on collapse, oil worker Steven Beaman and his wife Hayley Hollands decided it was time to live elsewhere. By April, Beaman had joined a communications firm in Colorado, leaving behind a more than decade-long career in oil and gas, and Hollands, an attorney, soon followed, forsaking the state over its increasingly strident politics and polarization. "It is kind of the first time I've reckoned with the idea that I don't think I'm going to live in my home state ever...

BOSTON (AP) — Boston is seeking to ban fossil fuels from new building projects and major renovations, Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday. The Democrat said the state’s largest city will take advantage of a key provision in the climate change bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Charlie Baker last week. Wu’s office said natural gas, oil and other fossil fuels used in buildings represent more than one-third of the city’s greenhouse gas emissions. New York, Washington, D.C., and Seattle are among the major U.S. municipalities that have enacted similar bans, The Boston Globe reports.

OK, call me paranoid. Local charity was having a “penny war” fund raiser, so I decided to go through the change jar (an old 5 gallon water jug). Parsing out all the bottle caps, shiny stones, etc. that got thrown in. I put the quarters aside. Then started going through the nickels, dimes, & pennies. Growing up as a kid, we had coin collections, so with time on my hands decided to sift through them for wheat pennies, silver, etc. To my wonderment, I found very few coins from the 70s and 80s. Even the 90s were sparse. I understand...
