BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – An Ocala man has been arrested after stealing a car in an attempt to access Patrick Space Force Base. According to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, Corey Johnson, 29, stole a truck in Riviera Beach before heading north to the base three days later. While trying to get into Patrick Space Force Base, Johnson claimed the President told him, through his mind, that he needed to steal the truck to warn government officials about U.S. aliens fighting Chinese dragons. Johnson was arrested and booked into the Brevard County Jail. He has been charged with grand theft...

(Song opens in new window)Let Erin remember the days of old, Ere her faithless sons betrayed her. When Malachi wore the collar of gold, Which he won from her proud invader, When her kings with standards of green unfurled Led the Red-Branch Knights to danger, Ere the emerald gem of the western world, was set in the crown of a stranger. On Lough Neagh's bank as the fisherman strays When the clear cold eve's declining, He sees the round towers of other days, In the wave beneath him shining. Thus shall memory often in dreams sublime, Catch a glimpse of...

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) on Tuesday suggested taking President Biden off the ballot in Texas due to his handling of immigration, citing the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling to kick former President Trump off the state’s ballot. “Seeing what happened in Colorado tonight … makes me think — except we believe in democracy in Texas — maybe we should take Joe Biden off the ballot in Texas for allowing 8 million people to cross the border since he’s been president, disrupting our state far more than anything anyone else has done in recent history,” Patrick said in an interview...

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Monday made good on a promise in calling for an audit of all impeachment expenses to get a full picture of how much the House General Investigating Committee cost Texas taxpayers, including the GIC’s secret investigation it began in March, the House impeachment proceedings and all House and Senate trial-related costs. On Saturday, Patrick gave a statement after the Senate voted to acquit Attorney General Ken Paxton of all charges. He chastised the House managers, Speaker Dade Phelan, and House General Investigating Committee chair Andrew Murr, R-Junction, for bringing impeachment charges without evidence to...

"The Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation and prosecution of CEFC China Energy Co. boss and Biden family associate Patrick Ho displayed “irregularities,” including concealing known connections between the Chinese Communist Party-linked entity and the Bidens, and communication between Hunter Biden and the FBI agents involved in Ho’s case, according to a memo by the Heritage Foundation Oversight Project."

Prominent scientist backs up claim that there is 'no climate emergency' ... Patrick Moore, one of the founders of Greenpeace said in an email obtained by The Epoch Times that his reasons for leaving Greenpeace were very clear: “Greenpeace was ‘hijacked’ by the political left when they realized there was money and power in the environmental movement. [Left-leaning] political activists in North America and Europe changed Greenpeace from a science-based organization to a political fundraising organization,” Moore said. Moore left Greenpeace in 1986, 15 years after he co-founded the organization. “The ‘environmental’ movement has become more of a political movement...

The traditional St. Patrick’s Day greening of the Chicago river resumed this year, after being on cootie hiatus for the past 2 years.Aside from the past two, Chicago’s river has been died green (ironically, with orange dye) every year since 1962 when Major Daley the First made it a thing. I attended the parade and festivities several times in my yute; it was a fine city in those days. But speaking of orange, I found this little gem yesterday: via What IrksOr actually Team Green (The Biden Plan for a Clean Energy Revolution and Environmental Justice). As the man said...

Patrick called his new business venture Holiday Magic and set up company headquarters at 616 Canal St. in San Rafael. Although the company sold cosmetics, its actual moneymaker was signing up distributors. Those distributors bought products from Holiday Magic and had to sell that product in order to make a profit — or even hope to break even. *SNIP* Riding high on his business success, Patrick turned next to politics. In 1965, Patrick announced he was challenging Ronald Reagan for the Republican nomination for California governor. The grandstanding, trash-talking businessman was a harbinger of the modern political era. He campaigned...

Saint Patrick. The legend, the lore of a great story, the edge of an epic: As a young man Patrick was stolen from his home in Britain by Irish raiders. At age sixteen he was sold into slavery in Ireland to a druid priest. He saw the pagan worship of the Celtic traditions, how when the sun was at its lowest zenith and the moon began to wane in November they would wear masks as they drove their excess cattle, which were sure to starve over winter, over the edge of the cliffs. Meat and Hides and other useful parts...

Enjoy!Dennis Day sings "Danny Boy" on the Jack Benny Show. St. Patrick's Day 1946.

Londonderry Air isn't "O Danny Boy", that came a decade later, it was originally "An Irish Love Song". Would God that I, might be an apple blossom, that falls and floats, from off the twisted bough, to find a home, beside your tender blushes, and gently lie, where lies that blossom now. Or would I were, a little burnished apple, for you to gather gliding by so fair, while shade and sun, your robe of lawn will dapple, and hide together in your crown of golden hair. Or, would that I were one among the roses, that bow to greet...

Houston — Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick announced Tuesday that he would pay up to $1 million from his campaign account to incentivize, encourage and reward people to come forward and report voter fraud from anywhere in the country, CBS Dallas / Fort Worth reports. "Whistleblowers and tipsters should turn over their evidence to local law enforcement. Anyone who provides information that leads to an arrest and final conviction of voter fraud will be paid a minimum of $25,000," said Patrick in a news release. Joe Biden became President-elect on Saturday when he surpassed 270 electoral votes with his projected...

Dr. Rhonda Patrick on Joe Rogan podcast. Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses interesting data about Vitamin D and COVID 19.

In World War Two America and the other allies saved the world from tyranny. This took a great deal of sacrifice and courage from a lot of people. Nowadays people seek to be made safe by others, not to earn safety. Men are demonised to justify billion dollar industries to protect women from the men who love them. Minorities cry for more and more protections and freedom disappears. Lt Gov Dan Patrick of Texas has displayed a better way of thinking and acting from a better time. God Bless Freedom. God Bless Such Men.

When the Irish call the snakes back home, and show St. Pat the door, and you get out you Naz'reth Babe, don't show your face no more, then the ghost of Cromwell laughs from hell, "I couldn't kill you but just as well, you'll do the job quite well yourselves, and soon be joining me here!"

What some observers saw as a bad sign for his newly announced bid to become the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nominee, former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick saw as “an encouraging start on the road to victory.” While only two people showed up to hear him speak at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Patrick pointed out that “this is three times the number of supporters I had last week. If I can sustain this pace I’ll have more than three billion supporters by May of next year and be headed toward a landslide win in the 2020 election.” if you missed any...

If I were one of those phony political consultants, I would have charged Deval Patrick an initial $ 100,000 for taking my advice to run for president. Since I am not, I will waive the fee. I gave the former Massachusetts governor that advice in a political column that ran in the Boston Herald Sept. 21, and in the Lowell Sun and Sentinel & Enterprise a day earlier.

Newly-entered 2020 candidate Deval Patrick boasted that the Democrats are the "party of the woke." Appearing on MSNBC on Thursday after officially launching his presidential campaign, the former Massachusetts governor was asked about the "vulnerability" of his involvement in Bain Capital, the investment firm that previously dogged Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign. "You’re not running in a Republican primary, you are running in a Democratic primary," MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace told Patrick. "Your party has moved to the left." "First of all, I love that the party has moved to the left. I love that we are the party of the...
