Freeman has taken even sharper aim at other members of his own faith…He claimed, “Evangelical Christianity is the greatest threat to human existence today. It must be laid waste.”
(Megan Basham – Daily Wire) MSNBC host Joy Reid stirred up controversy earlier this week when she compared Christian conservatives to the Taliban. But Reid is hardly the only public figure on the left making that analogy. Continue reading
“Even a private sector vaccine passport should be resisted by every possible means. It is the first step on a slippery slope to a social credit system, and the only time it can be stopped is at the very beginning.”
(Helen Andrews – The American Conservative) On August 10, former White House coronavirus task force senior advisor Andy Slavitt tweeted something snarky, as is his habit:… Continue reading
(SF Gate) The Caldor Fire raced down highways 50 and 89 — main arteries for travel to and from the Tahoe Basin — as the wildfire continued to burn out-of-control Monday night. The flames burned cabins along the highways as residents of nearby Douglas County, Nevada were warned to evacuate.
“There is fire activity happening in California that we have never seen before. The critical thing for the public to know is evacuate early,” said Chief Thom Porter, director of Cal Fire. “For the rest of you in California: Every acre can and will burn someday in this state.” Continue reading
“The Bible says ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The most practical way right now you can love your neighbor as yourself, wear a mask. Okay? And to not wear one basically says, ‘I don’t care about you, or I don’t even care about your fears.”
(Reformation Charlotte) During an online session, Rick Warren announced that those who refuse to wear masks are basically saying that they don’t care about other people and that the most practical way to “love your neighbor,” as the Bible says, is to wear a mask. Continue reading
There’s no evidence of more outbreaks in schools…where the solid majority of kids wore masks for an entire academic year and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. These countries, along with the World Health Organization, whose child-masking guidance differs substantially from the CDC’s recommendations, have explicitly recognized that the decision to mask students carries with it potential academic and social harms for children and may lack a clear benefit.”
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) “Consistency” may be “the hobgoblin of little minds,” but it’s also very reassuring if coming from our public health officials…. Continue reading
“It will be extremely difficult to dislodge the teachers’ unions from their perch…Their political power is awesome, given the $30 million they pour into the war chests of Democratic state politicians. They also hold the fate of big-city mayors in the palms of their hands as they can easily blackmail even the most powerful mayor by threatening a walkout. Voters become enraged when their lives are turned upside down because they can’t send their kids to school so they can work.”
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) The public school system in America is in crisis — the worst crisis since the forced bussing and integration issues of the 1970s.
Simply put, parents and students have lost faith in the school system to educate. They doubt whether the schools have the best interests of their students at heart…. Continue reading
(John Hayward – Breitbart) Joe Biden’s first half-year in office concluded with a string of disasters and failures to deliver on his campaign rhetoric.
Afghanistan: Of course, the list must begin with Biden’s hideously bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, a debacle that claimed the lives of 13 American military personnel on Thursday.
Biden’s Afghanistan disaster is likely to haunt the United States for years to come…. Continue reading
(Nick Arama – Red State) George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley is raising questions about the shooting of Ashli Babbitt and making some of the same points that I made after I saw the interview on Thursday that Lt. Michael Byrd gave to NBC’s Lester Holt.
The media has largely ignored the questions about the propriety of the shooting, because they were against Babbitt’s political beliefs. But the same standards of whether an officer is justified when shooting should apply whoever the person shot is — be they Trump supporter or BLM person. Continue reading
Oregon Gov Kate Brown
“Kate Brown unfortunately turned out to be lighter than air. She didn’t know anything, she had no achievements. Under pressure, she wilted and became irrational.”
(Breitbart) Wednesday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” host Tucker Carlson criticized the permanent nature of what he deemed “nonsensical” mandates, including masks for those regardless of their vaccination status.
He pointed to Gov. Kate Brown (D-OR), who has instituted an outdoor mask mandate for public areas regardless of one’s vaccination status. Continue reading
“We the undersigned therefore demand the IFCN immediately remove PolitiFact from its list of approved fact-checkers. We further demand Facebook immediately remove PolitiFact from its list of approved Third-Party Fact-Checkers.”
(CNS News) Media Research Center President Brent Bozell, along with fellow members of the Free Speech Alliance and 10 other conservative leaders, are demanding the International Fact-Checking Network remove PolitiFact as a fact-checker for violating IFCN’s Code of Principles. Continue reading
(Ryan Saavdra – Daily Wire) Republican lawmakers introduced two articles of impeachment on Friday for Secretary of State Antony Blinken following the Biden administration’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan.
Rep. Ralph Norman (SC) introduced the articles of impeachment, saying that Blinken “played a vital role in this foreign policy failure and his dereliction of duty deserves nothing less than impeachment.” Continue reading
“A large contingent of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) technicians has been dispatched to Afghanistan. They are operating with the Taliban and their presence is being concealed by that group.”
(Sam Faddis – AND) One of the many incomprehensible aspects of Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan was the abandonment of vast quantities of American weapons to the Taliban…. Continue reading

(Joel Abbott – Not the Bee) The woke brass at the White House and Pentagon have zero clue what they are doing in Afghanistan, but that doesn’t mean your average soldier has lost his fighting edge.
A group of volunteer veterans literally flew to Afghanistan to help hundreds of Afghan allies escape the country before the Taliban could find and kill them.
Although they coordinated with the U.S. military, this operation was their own. It certainly wasn’t something ordered by the White House. Continue reading
(Matthew Boyle – Breitbart) Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that his successor President Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan is the “single most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.”
Trump’s comments came in a lengthy and wide-ranging nearly two-hour-long exclusive interview on Wednesday evening at his office at his golf club in northern New Jersey where he has been living and working for the last several months…. Continue reading
The long term consequences, not just of the Biden Administration’s complete failure in Afghanistan but their obsession with January 6 and imaginary “domestic terrorists” will be deadly.
(Julie Kelly – American Greatness) As of midafternoon on Thursday, several hours after the killing of innocents began, Joe Biden still had not addressed the nation to mourn the devastating loss of life—including at least 12 American troops—from terror attacks near the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan. Continue reading
(Peter A. McCullough – The Defender) A groundbreaking preprint paper by the prestigious Oxford University Clinical Research Group, published Aug. 10 in The Lancet, includes alarming findings devastating to the COVID vaccine rollout.
The study found vaccinated individuals carry 251 times the load of COVID-19 viruses in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated. Continue reading
“As Americans or Westerners, isn’t it time to recognize that oppressed Muslims really need other Muslims to come to rescue them rather than placing the burden on infidels?”
(Selwyn Duke – The New American) As Joe Biden “takes a knee to the Taliban” and it has been suggested that we absorb millions of Afghan migrants, a simple question is largely unasked: Why aren’t Muslim countries “stepping forward to take care of their co-religionists”? as American Thinker puts it. “Isn’t it time they did?” Continue reading
Americans have a choice: either we can choose to live under restrictions forever to prevent a minute risk of post-vaccination hospitalization and death, or we can go back to normal.
(Ben Shapiro) This week, as President Joe Biden attempted desperately to distract from his ongoing surrender in Afghanistan and the attendant chaos in its wake, the White House turned its eyes once again to the issue of COVID-19. Continue reading
“402 deaths out of 47 008 cases in vaccinated; 253 deaths out of 151 054 cases in unvaccinated. If you get covid having been vaccinated, according to this data, you are much more likely to die than if you were not vaccinated!”
(Chris Waldberger) This is an absolute game-changer.
The UK government just reported the following data, tucked away in their report on variants of concern: Continue reading
U.S. Military Casualties Reported in Kabul Airport Suicide Attack.
(Breitbart) A suicide bombing attack outside Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Thursday has left at least 13 people killed, including children, and wounded three U.S. troops, according to reports. A second blast has been reported near the city’s Baron Hotel. Continue reading
“While the authors made no mention of making individual benefits dependent upon vaccination, their proposal raises that frightening possibility. Since the federal government adopted part of that recommendation, what would prevent those who need Medicare and Medicaid from eventually being targeted?”
(Joseph Hippolito – Frontpage Mag) The federal government has become so desperate to get Americans vaccinated against COVID-19 that it plans to hold Medicare and Medicaid payments hostage. Continue reading
“The first thing you notice about [Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat party’s biggest donors], other than how strikingly non-diverse it is, is that none of them are wearing masks. They’re breathing all the fresh air they want, like it’s 2019.”
(Leah Barkoukis – Townhall) Mask mandates in America didn’t start with the coronavirus pandemic. During the Spanish flu of 1918, government officials ordered similar edicts, their media and nonprofit lackeys shamed the resistant, and health agents in some cases went to fatal extremes to punish the noncompliant, Fox News’s Tucker Carlson reported Monday during his monologue. Continue reading
“I don’t know many people who are not vaccinated, but they all point to the renewed obsession with mask mandates as the prime reason not to get the shot.” (Steven Kruiser – PJ Media) Mask or Vax—Pick One, Tyrants
Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. You don’t really want to know what the secret ingredient is. Ever.
It might be best if we go off in a different direction today. Yes, Afghanistan and the ongoing elder abuse that is the Biden presidency are still the dominant news items of the week, but a hump day departure felt in order. Continue reading
