  • Words Have Effects On You

    Words have effects on you in accordance with what they say, The Bible shows us this. Even names have effects of people, look at Jacob for instance his name means supplanter or one who takes the place of another and what did he do, he ended up deceiving his father as if he was his brother. Notice, he exhibited the characteristic of his name. And you see in 1 Samuel 25 there was a man named Nabal, while David was on the run both he and his men watched over his servants and herds so David sent some men to...

    Kamala Harris has given a single televised interview and no press conferences since becoming the Democrats’ nominee for president. Given the establishment media’s unprecedented blocking, tackling, and gaslighting (including the 9/10 debate), we’ve assembled over 100 videos of Kamala Harris in her own words so that the American people can see where she stands and who she is. SECTIONS: ON THE ECONOMY ON THE BORDER AND IMMIGRATION ON ENERGY, FRACKING, AND CLIMATE CHANGE ON ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND TRANSPORTATION ON HEALTH CARE ON ABORTION ON CRIME AND POLICING ON GUN CONTROL ON REPARATIONS ON DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION ON CENSORSHIP ON...
  • Dogs Really Do Understand The Words in Those Viral Videos, Study Confirms

    If you've been on Instagram or TikTok recently, you've likely come across those viral videos of dogs hitting soundboard buttons while their proud owners feign exasperation at their furry friend's seemingly eloquent demands. Who wouldn't want to give their beloved pet the opportunity to talk back in a way we can understand? Skeptics such as this biologist have unsurprisingly raised their eyebrows at this fad, which has owners claiming their dogs can use the soundboards to form near-sentences asking for food, requesting help, raising alerts, and even questioning their mirror reflection.
  • Harley-Davidson is dropping DEI policies after pressure from diversity critics

    Harley-Davidson on Monday said it is ditching some of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) goals, a move that comes after it faced pressure from anti-diversity critics on social media. The iconic motorcycle manufacturer follows John Deere & Co. and Tractor Supply, which both made similar decisions to scratch their diversity programs earlier this summer. In a message posted to X, Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson said it currently has no "DEI function" and has not operated such a program since April 2024. The company added that it has no hiring quotas and no longer has "supplier diversity spend goals" designed to spread...
  • George W. Bush uttered 'the 10 most important words in the history of economics' during the 2008 financial crisis, Warren Buffett says — here's how they now apply in 2024

    moneywise ^ | 07/30/2024 | Vishesh Raisinghani
    Instead of quoting a historical figure like Adam Smith, Daniel Kahneman or John Maynard Keynes, legendary investor Warren Buffett believes the most consequential words on modern economics came from a surprising source: former U.S. President George W. Bush. At the height of the 2008 financial crisis, Bush said: “If money isn’t loosened up, this sucker could go down!” Buffett deemed this quip “the 10 most important words in the history of economics,” he told billionaire Dan Gilbert during an interview at the Detroit Homecoming event at the College for Creative Studies in 2014. Here’s why Buffett believes these words had...

    Ah, the office – a place where language goes to get dressed in a suit and tie, only to trip over its own shoelaces. Here are 21 phrases that we’ve all heard ad nauseam, and if we’re being honest, wouldn’t miss if they were banished from the corporate lexicon forever: #1. “Touch Base” Because nothing says “I don’t actually play baseball” like using a sports metaphor to schedule a meeting. #2. “Reach Out” What are we, in a 90s boy band? Just say “I’ll send you an email” and leave the emotional ballads out of it. #3. “Circle Back” Less...

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left no doubt in a statement on Wednesday, regarding what his Jewish country might do should current tensions with Iran escalate further. "Israel will do whatever it needs to defend itself," Netanyahu said in a statement. The comment came after separate meetings with British Foreign Secretary David Cameron and Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock in Israel on Wednesday, where the ministers discussed actions Israel could pursue to retaliate for Iran’s unprecedented, direct attack on Israel over the weekend. "They have all sorts of suggestions and advice. I appreciate that. But I want to be clear:...

  • Stop Using the Words "Trump Tried to Overturn the 2020 Election"; It Is Akin to Asking "When Did You Stop Beating Your Wife?"

    Why do conservative media feel the need to kowtow to the Democrat Party's biased and partisan (not to mention self-serving and … hateful) rhetoric? Have the many troubling events of election night already been forgotten? Once and for all, fellow journalists and fellow citizens, conservative and liberal alike (although I hardly expect the latter to follow this piece of — friendly — advice), stop saying "Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election" and stop referring to "the election that Trump lost", to "Trump's defeat", to "Trump tried to change the results", and to "false claims". The way that even conservative...

    A cervical cancer trust is under fire for disgustingly suggesting that people call vaginas “bonus holes” to avoid offending transgender people. Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust, based in the UK, suggested the language in 2020 — but it just went viral after it was noticed by people and posted to Twitter. “Bonus hole – An alternative word for the vagina. It is important to check which words someone would prefer to use,” the glossary on the trust’s website states. The website claims, “Using the correct language when referring to someone’s gender identity is a simple and effective way to demonstrate support...
  • George Conway: Trump words on new tape ‘stunning’

    The Hill ^ | 06/27/2023 | JULIA MUELLER
    George Conway, an attorney and prominent conservative critic of former President Trump, said Monday that the former president’s comments on a newly released audio tape discussing holding onto classified documents are “stunning,” calling him a “sociopathic criminal.” Descriptions of the recording had been included in the 37-count federal indictment alleging Trump’s handling of sensitive material violated the Espionage Act and obstructed justice with his handling of sensitive material after leaving the White House, but the audio was not publicly available until CNN aired it Monday. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

    In a recent online presentation, editors and researchers working on a first-of-its-kind dictionary of African American English gave a status update on the project. As academics explained their various methodologies, slides displayed behind them showed words that are more often associated with Twitter than Oxford: “Bussin,” virtual attendees were told, means impressive or tasty, while a “boo” is a lover. Those were two of the first 100 words that the Oxford University Press said it had prepared to include in the Oxford Dictionary of African American English, the hopeful result of the three-year research project announced last spring.
  • Taking Back Our Country, One Word at a Time: Do not let the cultural enslavers control the meaning of our words

    American Thinker ^ | 03/13/2023 | Deborah C. Tyler
    Let us resolve to reclaim our own words. The cloud of defeat enshrouding America is a spiritual, moral, and political conquest that seeks to control minds, debilitate character, and destroy institutions from within. That conquest starts with the power to control our words. We react, we write, we rail against them — but always using their words. They control the conversation. We have let the enslavers control our words. The disruptive force throughout American history has been Christianity. It disrupted slavery, segregation, and abortion because Christians rejected words of the oppressors. They called slaves their brothers; they call the pre-born...

    Many fully-grown adults have never developed the ability to think beyond words. Others are keenly aware of how easily people fall for this language game. And tactically exploit this mental weakness. This isn’t a new phenomenon. William Shirer, the American journalist and author of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, described his experiences as a war correspondent in Nazi Germany: [page image at site]. In June of 2015, the PATRIOT Act expired. The Obama Administration then restored most of the provisions under the title Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ensuring Effective Discipline Over Monitoring Act....
  • Gaslighting’ is Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Year for 2022

    KQED ^ | 11/29 | Leanne Italie
    “Gaslighting” — behavior that’s mind manipulating, grossly misleading, downright deceitful — is Merriam-Webster’s word of the year. Lookups for the word on merriam-webster.com increased 1,740% in 2022 over the year before. But something else happened. There wasn’t a single event that drove significant spikes in curiosity, as it usually goes with the chosen word of the year. The gaslighting was pervasive. “It’s a word that has risen so quickly in the English language, and especially in the last four years, that it actually came as a surprise to me and to many of us,” said Peter Sokolowski, Merriam-Webster’s editor at...

    Continuing a tradition that’s been going on since 2003, dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster announced their “Word of the Year” for 2021 this week. Another tradition they seem to be following is an attempt to stir up as much controversy and angst as possible by choosing a word that’s bound to get under the skin (pun intended) of as many people as possible so everyone will talk about their selection. So it will likely not come as much of a surprise that they selected “vaccine” for this year’s honors. Now all of the people who are debating on both sides of the...
  • Democrat Terry McAuliffe Scrambles to Course Correct After Parents Comment: ‘My Words’ Taken ‘Out of Context’

    Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D), who is running for governor again, released an ad this week clarifying that he has “always valued the concerns of parents” after he was hit with a tsunami of backlash for a comment he made about parents’ role in education in the last gubernatorial debate. The new ad features photos of McAuliffe and his family as McAuliffe emphasizes the importance of parents in schools, a message that comes after McAuliffe said during the debate September 28, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”

    Actor James Woods rebuked the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for telling Americans what they should, and shouldn’t say, instead of focusing its attention on the coronavirus pandemic. In a tweet on Friday, the CDC asked Americans “Are you using #inclusive language” and directed them to a CDC.gov webpage titled, “Preferred Terms for Select Population Groups & Communities.” “You nitwits don’t have better things to do in the middle of a PANDEMIC??!!” actor James Woods replied. The CDC webpage lists words and expressions that it says should not be spoken and provides suggested replacements that “represent an ongoing shift toward...
  • Three random words are still one of the best passwords, experts say

    The UK's National Cyber Security Centre would like to politely remind you that three random words are a good, secure password. ... Because everything, increasingly, wants you to have a unique account and password for its service. NCSC recommends a three-word password because it bypasses some of the most common ways that criminals crack passwords. These are things like single words with predictable substitutions (5 for S, or ! for 1) and brute-force techniques that rely on shorter passwords to succeed. "The stereotypical password is a single dictionary word or name, with predictable character replacements," says the NCSC. In contrast,...
