Effort Launched to Get Black Christians to “Affirm” LGBTQ+

LGBTQ+ advocates will meet on Friday at Union Theological Seminary in New York City to “engage” in an “historic conversation to advocate for change within the Black Church for the Black Queer Community.” In an article I penned yesterday for The New American, I explained how the progressive Left wants to infiltrate the Evangelical Christian community in the United States to advance their left-wing world view. This event at Union Theological Seminary is yet another attempt, this time to manipulate black Christians into what is essentially a Marxist cause. The one-day symposium, entitled “The State of the Black Church: Reconciling Communities and Reimagining ...
EU Parliament “One of the World’s Most Corrupt Organizations”

On February 13, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Péter Szijjártó vehemently slammed the European Parliament, claiming, among other things, that the institution lacks any credibility amid its recent corruption scandals. In an interview with Hungary’s Kossuth Rádió, Szijjártó said that “The credibility of the European Parliament is practically zero,” elaborating that “the latest corruption issues have clearly shown that we are speaking about one of the world’s most corrupt organizations,” the news portal Vadhajtsok reported.

Mayorkas Plays Blame Game With Crisis of His Own Creation

With America’s border under siege, the man in charge of securing the U.S. border seems content with pointing fingers everywhere but himself. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed in a recent interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace that the U.S.-Mexico border is secure, and that the Biden administration’s immigration policies are working. Mayorkas also claimed the “millions of jobs opening due to the economic success of this administration” are responsible for the surge of illegal aliens flooding the border. Both claims are preposterous. Click for Full Text!
New Book Describes Crazy Leftist Uprising at NYT After Cotton Op-ed

A promo line for media critic Steve Krakauer’s Uncovered: How the Media Got Cozy With Power, Abandoned Its Principles, and Lost the People says, “The fourth estate is supposed to be a conduit to the people and a check on power. Instead, we have a bunch of geographically isolated, introspection-free, cozy-with-power, egomaniacal journalists thirsty for elite approval.” We’ve known that for some time. But Krakauer, a report on the newly published book says, proves it in spades by disclosing the mass hysteria inside The New York Times after it published Senator Tom Cotton’s op-ed Send In the Troops. Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas, argued that the Floyd Hoax Riots ...
'America Has Lost the War on Drugs,' The New York Times Says, but Should Keep Fighting It Anyway

In 2014, more than a century after The New York Times began warning readers about the insanity-inducing, violence-provoking properties of "a harmless-looking plant" known as "marihuana," the paper published an editorial endorsing legalization of a drug it had once blamed for causing madness, mayhem, and murder. That reversal happened 18 years after California became the first state to legalize medical use of cannabis, two years after Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize recreational use, and a year after Gallup reported that most Americans already favored repealing pot prohibition. The Gray Lady's cannabis conversion followed decades of ...
My Daughter's School District Warns That Nicotine Vapers Could Be Unknowingly Inhaling Fentanyl

This week I received a "Drug Awareness and Prevention Alert" from my daughter's school district. As is typical of these communications, the message from the Plano, Texas, Independent School District (ISD) mixes sensible advice with alarmist rhetoric and misinformation. That is a risky combination, because skeptical students and parents who recognize the anti-drug nonsense may be inclined to dismiss all of the warnings, including those that have a basis in fact. The alert mentions "fake pills laced with fentanyl," which is a real thing, then adds that fentanyl "can be disguised as candy in order to lure younger kids," which is not a real thing. But this ...
FTC Investigating, but Not Thwarting, Amazon Acquisition of One Medical

Yesterday Amazon closed its $3.9 billion deal to acquire the parent company of concierge health care provider One Medical without being halted by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which failed to sue in time to block the deal. The agency says it will continue investigating the transaction. "The commission will continue to look at possible harms to competition created by this merger as well as possible harms to consumers that may result from Amazon's control and use of sensitive consumer health information held by One Medical," said FTC spokesman Douglas Farrar earlier this week.

Biden Renominates Gigi Sohn, Net Neutrality Advocate, to the FCC

President Joe Biden has renominated Gigi Sohn to fill the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) now-vacant fifth seat. This is the third time Sohn has been nominated. Should she gain the Senate's approval, she will break the agency's current 2–2 Democrat-Republican logjam and allow the agency to re-enact Obama-era net neutrality regulations, which are economically nonsensical and largely unnecessary. The FCC's 2015 regulations forbade internet service providers from blocking content or discriminatorily slowing specific content and banned the practice of paid prioritization—i.e., a company paying an internet service provider (ISP) to favor its content.

All of the characters in the play are men. A university spokesperson acknowledged that author Samuel Beckett said the play should be performed only by men, a rule still enforced by Beckett's estate.

California should stop relying on taxation by citation

Across the country, state and local governments use fines and fees as a source of revenue to fund public services. But reliance upon this taxation by citation is not only a threat to individual liberty, it can also undermine public safety and result in fiscal instability. A new Reason Foundation policy brief shows why using fines and fees to generate government revenue undermines justice and fiscal responsibility in California. Fines and fees are commonplace throughout the justice system. In many cases, fines are considered desirable because they are an intermediate form of punishment. Slapping someone with a fine is less severe than incarceration but is tough punishment for many low-level ...

I recall only three news events from my childhood. The first was the 1963 assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. I was four years old. Though I did not understand what was happening, I remember a radio announcement — and my mother bursting into tears. The second event was the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969. The third event, also in 1969, was the horrific news that the U.S. military had carried out a mass murder of Vietnamese civilians — the My Lai massacre. It was the investigative journalist Seymour Hersh who broke that story. Hersh is one of the most famous and respected investigative journalists in the United States. Some consider him one of the half-dozen greatest ...

During the Tuesday episode of the Ron Paul Liberty Report, host Ron Paul answered questions that viewers had submitted. In the process of answering one of the questions, Paul mentioned that there was an instance in which President Grover Cleveland, who Paul has praised before, stood up against congressional pressure for the United States to go to war. While Paul did not go into details about the instance when mentioning it in his answer, what Cleveland did was refuse to go to war with Spain in the name of aiding an insurrection in Cuba.

State Attorneys General to Biden on “Assault Weapon” Ban: Nope, Nada, Not Having It

Following his State of the Union (SOTU) speech earlier this month, in which President Joe Biden yelled, “Band [sic] ‘assault weapons’ now!”, the president predictably included the same demand last week in remarks at the National Association of Counties legislative conference. “I’m gonna say something that’s always controversial but there is no rationale for assault weapons and magazines that hold 50, 70 bullets. Got it done once. Gonna do it again.” A day later, sixteen state Attorneys General, led by Austin Knudsen, the Montana Attorney General, penned a blunt letter to the president in response to his “unconstitutional and irresponsible demand ...

Iran Reports IAEA Officials in Tehran to Resolve Nuclear Ambiguities

Iran’s Foreign Ministry reports that IAEA officials are in Tehran for ongoing talks to resolve questions and ambiguities created by a UN inspector. The situation involves the discovery of 84% purity uranium particles, the “highest” level putatively found in Iran, and well above the 60% purity level to which Iran admits enriching. While media are making a big deal about 84% being “almost” weapons grade, which is above 90%, the IAEA reacted fairly modestly, suggesting that the few particles may have been created during configuration of enrichment centrifuges.

President Biden on Wednesday said Russian President Vladimir Putin made a “big mistake” by suspending Russia’s participation in the last nuclear arms control treaty between the US and Russia, known as the New START. When he made the announcement on Tuesday, Putin stressed he was only suspending Russia’s participation in New START, which places limits on the deployment of nuclear warheads and launchers.

Americans allegedly believe in justice. Our founders deemed the concept of justice as necessary for the preservation of our republic; defined as a free and just society, where preserving liberty and property was the only legitimate role of government. Consider our current system of justice, judgment by our peers. Trial by jury! Where information asymmetries should be eliminated or mitigated by the pre-trial discovery process. Where only facts are considered evidence. Where we can face our accuser, advocate on our own behalf, and explain any mitigating circumstances. And appeal, if we can prove there were procedural flaws Click for Full Text!

State lawmakers of both houses have just voted overwhelmingly to exempt physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium coins and bullion from the Mississippi state sales tax, sending the bill to Governor Tate Reeves (R) for his signature. Senate Bill 2019, sponsored by Sen. Chad McMahan (R – 6), passed yesterday out of the full senate by a vote of 47-2. This afternoon, Rep. Jody Steverson’s identical House Bill 1661 passed out of the full house chamber on an overwhelming voice vote. Click for Full Text!
