Presidential Pardons for Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney, and Adam Schiff?

Curses and drat! That blasted Trump forced President Biden into pardoning Hunter, and now he’s gonna make him pardon everyone else! That Donald Trump is a real troublemaker.

(Scott Pinsker – P Media) “I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision,” President Biden wrote in the last line of his statement explaining his unconditional pardon of his son, Hunter Biden. In doing so, he actually went full circle: The very first line of his statement emphasized their father-son relationship as well: “Today I signed a pardon for my son Hunter.”

So it was Biden’s open and close. Continue reading

What’s the Deal With All These ‘Mystery Drones’ Being Spotted Over New Jersey?

“We’re all completely unnerved,” Shavalier told NBC News on Tuesday. “I didn’t sleep last night.” Shavalier said she fears more sleepless nights are ahead.

(Teri Christoph – RedState) A mystery is unfolding in the skies over central New Jersey, and even the FBI is stumped about what’s going on.

Reports have emerged of “mysterious nighttime drone flights” appearing in the nighttime skies of central New Jersey, and some residents have taken to social media with videos of strange occurrences. Continue reading

Justice Ketanji Jackson Makes a Fool of Herself During Oral Arguments

“This is the same person who infamously declared during her confirmation hearings that she couldn’t define what a woman is because “I’m not a biologist.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in U.S. v. Skrmetti, an extremely important case over state restrictions on medically unnecessary interventions, such as puberty blockers and hormone treatments, for minors experiencing gender confusion. Continue reading

Trump Needs to Make an Example of General Milley

“In the immediate aftermath of the election, the left seems to realize it is unwise to resist openly and violently, as they did for much of the Trump administration. But I believe, at the moment, they are merely regrouping and working on a strategy they believe will work.”

(Christopher Roach – American Greatness) In dealing with his enemies in the Deep State, President Trump could follow one of two paths. One would be the path of peace, reconciliation, and forgiveness. This would certainly be easier in the short term and also garner approval from insiders and the media. Alternatively, he could seek to clean house and punish the worst and most insubordinate offenders from his first term. Continue reading

Public Schools Are Becoming Literal Temples of Satanic Idolatry

“Here’s where I have to ask: What will it take for parents to wake up? How much more evidence do we need that public schools are no longer neutral ground, but enemy territory? If a program named HAIL doesn’t do it, what will?”

Public schools are quickly becoming Satanic temples. Don’t believe me? Look at Edgewood Elementary in Marysville, Ohio, where they’ve rolled out the red carpet for The Satanic Temple’s new “Hellion Academy of Independent Learning.”… Continue reading

Unequally Yoked in Business?

(Tim Cantrell – The Cripplegate) “Pastor, should I start a business with an unbeliever? Would it be wise for me to partner with this person or not?” I’ve been asked this question many times, and I believe the Bible has answers.

Right now in South Africa, about 29% of the workforce is self-employed. Over 80% of South Africans believe entrepreneurship is a good career path, and there is a growing interest in starting new businesses, despite economic hurdles. But for the believer, the first question must not be, “How much money will I make? Will it succeed or not?” Continue reading

There’s a YUGE silver lining in the Hunter Biden pardon…

“Our media has become a complete and total joke. No wonder they’re on the edge of complete and total irrelevance.”

(Revolver) After months of Biden, his crooked regime rats, and their media lackeys swearing up and down that Hunter wouldn’t get a pardon, Joe just went ahead and announced he’s pardoning his son. Shocking, right? Yes, there’s a lot to be angry about—the elitism, the mockery of justice, and the immorality of it all, not to mention, once again, Hunter and Joe get away with murder. Continue reading

Dr. Michael Brown Accused of Inappropriate Relationship with Young Woman, Calls for Third Party Investigation

(Protestia) Author, apologist and The Line of Fire radio host Dr. Michael Brown has been accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a young woman who saw him as a father figure, according to new allegations by the Roys Report, which details grievances from incidents that occurred nearly 23 years ago.

In the article, author Rebecca Hopkins outlined a series of allegations from a woman named ‘Erin’ who claims that Brown, whom she called “dad,” would “frequently cross physical boundaries. He’d hold her hand, kiss her on the lips, and slap her bottom. Continue reading

The Folks Saved America

“The truth is most Americans are clueless when it comes to understanding that the more a citizen depends on government, the less freedom that person actually has. I don’t want to live in a country where pinheads dictate and impose an ideologically driven lifestyle on me and my family.” 

(Bill O’Reilly) Having traveled to 86 countries, I believe the United States is, indeed, the land of opportunity – By A LOT, as Donald Trump might say.

Many people on Earth agree.  Millions are trying to get here.  No one is sneaking into Russia, China, or even Mexico, for that matter.  The pathway to success is “El Norte.” Continue reading

Nearly 60,000 Migrant Criminals Running Around NYC

“New York City is a sanctuary for criminals. However, NYC officials have been flying some of these illegal migrants to other states, even those that are not sanctuaries.”

(Mary Dowling) If you are wondering about the stunning reversal of Governor Kathy Hochul and, to some degree, Mayor Adams, who now wants to work with Donald Trump, wonder no more. The main reason is migrant crime. Migrant gangs and other criminals have taken over the streets.

ICE reported that there are more than 58,000 criminal aliens in the sanctuary city of New York City alone. Continue reading

Here’s How Pardoning Hunter Biden Was Really About Protecting Joe

“Why does this matter? Well, it just so happens that Hunter Biden joined the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma in 2014. This means that Hunter’s pardon wasn’t merely about taxes or gun charges; it was about preventing exposure of the Biden crime family’s influence-peddling schemes.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Let’s be honest here. The only thing shocking about Joe Biden pardoning his son, Hunter, was the timing. He was always going to do it. I think most people, myself included, figured he’d wait until January.

Now, this pardon will cast a shadow over the final weeks of Biden’s presidency, but let’s face it: Joe likely doesn’t care. Predictably, some on the left are already applauding him, hailing it as the act of a “good father,” and so on. However, it’s time to cut through the noise. While the pardon was technically on Hunter’s behalf, it’s clear that this move was really about protecting Joe Biden himself. Continue reading

LIAR: Biden Goes Back on His Word, Pardons Idiot Son, Hunter Biden

(Scott Pinsker – PJ Media) He promised he wouldn’t do it. He swore up and down that it would never happen.

But then again, he also said that Trump was Hitler, Americans were garbage, and MAGA was an existential threat to democracy. (Also, he’s “sharp as a tack.”)

Another day, another Biden lie: It was announced on Sunday evening that President Biden would go back on his word and issue a full, unconditional pardon to his idiot kid, Hunter Biden. In his words: Continue reading

We Should Treat the Intellectual Elites Like Royalty

“Present-day central planners seek to rule over more than 8 billion people. Only now, instead of justifying empire-building under the guise of “spreading Christianity,” “Manifest Destiny” or “making the world safe for democracy,” they’re importing millions upon millions of people from poor nations to remediate “systemic racism,” produce “decolonization” or challenge the “patriarchy.” In the name of “climate change,” they demand control over agriculture, industry, transportation and finance. Nor are their powers limited to economics; they censor, silence, prosecute and even imprison those who question their motives, their data, their conclusions, their methods.”

(Laura Hollis – The Patriot Post) Years ago, I read a book by the historian Barbara Tuchman called “Bible and Sword: England and Palestine from the Bronze Age to Balfour.” It’s worth a read for anyone wondering about the origins of the present-day conflicts in the Middle East. Continue reading

Hal Lindsey Dead At 95

“Over the years, Lindsey has been a controversial figure, with some critics challenging his interpretations and predictions.” 

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Hal Lindsey was an American Evangelical minister and author, best known for his interpretations of biblical prophecy concerning the end times, which ultimately did not come to fruition. Born on November 23, 1929, in Houston, Texas, Lindsey grew up in a Southern Baptist family, which laid the foundation for his eventual career in ministry and writing. Continue reading

Have a blessed Thanksgiving everyone!

(Robb Brunansky – The Cripplegate) Everyone struggles to maintain a disposition of gratitude for any length of time. We know what it’s like to feel like we want just one more thing in our lives.

The Israelites exemplified this attitude of discontentment. God had delivered them from their bondage in Egypt, but they soon complained about their circumstances. Israel’s bad example led Paul to warn us not to be like them (1 Corinthians 10:10). One of Israel’s fatal sins was their lack of gratitude to God for His mercy.

In every situation, whether good or bad, we are to give thanks to God. Yet, as much as Christians might want to consistently exemplify gratefulness, we often find ourselves acting just like the Israelites, complaining rather than giving thanks. Continue reading

Trump Cabinet nominees, appointees targeted with ‘violent, unAmerican threats’

(Brooke Singman – Fox News) Nearly a dozen of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees and other appointees tapped for the incoming administration were targeted Tuesday night with “violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them,” prompting a “swift” law enforcement response, Fox News Digital has learned.

The “attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting,’” according to Trump-Vance transition spokeswoman and incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. One of the officials issued a statement describing his incident as having involved a “pipe bomb threat” with “a pro-Palestinian themed message.” Continue reading

Wökendämmerung: Walmart Cuts Ties to HRC, Dumps DEI Policies

(Ed Morrissey – Hot Air) Three weeks ago, Donald Trump recorded a smashing victory over Kamala Harris, who ran mainly on two arguments. Mainly, she claimed that Trump had disqualified himself in the aftermath of the 2020 election and that everyone owed her their vote as a result. Secondly, Harris and Democrats pushed the idea that America needed its first woman-of-color president on the basis of identity alone — because Harris certainly never made any other case for herself during the campaign. Continue reading

Love Thanksgiving? Thank Virginia.

(Sean McGowen – TruthScript) When most Americans think of the “First Thanksgiving,” they think of the Pilgrims in Plymouth who sat down for a Harvest Festival meal with the Wampanoag Indians in 1621. The Pilgrims had arrived on the Mayflower in November of 1620 and nearly a year later celebrated the abundance of provisions that God had provided. The Thanksgiving tradition recalls to memory Indians like Squanto (1580–1622) and Englishmen like William Bradford (1590–1657), who was elected governor in early 1621. Many American Christians love to quote the words of Governor Bradford in his “Thanksgiving Proclamation” made three years after the Pilgrims settled in Plymouth, where he proclaimed that all Pilgrim families were to gather on November 29, 1623, to hear from their minister and give thanks to Almighty God. Thus, when Americans think of Thanksgiving, they think of Massachusetts and the Pilgrims. Continue reading

How the Left plans to defeat President-elect Trump’s agenda

“You are now starting to see spots of messaging of how they plan to challenge the agenda of President-elect Trump. Last week, one-term House Member Wiley Nickel (D-NC-13), in what can only be described as a Democrat fever dream, proposed a “shadow cabinet” which appears to be either a desperate attempt to retain power or secure his place as a talking head on whatever is left of mainstream media.” 

(Ami Sanchez – Human Events) The Left seems quiet right now – a little too quiet. They are working, busy as ever, organizing to defeat the policy agenda of President-elect Donald Trump once he takes office. Continue reading

Holy smokes—Trump just announced two earth-shattering moves before even stepping foot in office…

“President Trump is willing and ready to deal a crushing blow to these two disloyal “allies” on our borders. Make no mistake, this move will crush both of their economies…”

(Revolver) President Trump is serious about getting down to business, and he’s not waiting for Day One. He’s getting going nearly two full months before Day One with the announcement of two sets of tariffs, one against China and the other against Mexico and Canada.

President Trump first announced the move against Canada and Mexico on Truth Social. Continue reading

Pop Your Popcorn: It’s Time for Elon Musk Vs. Planned Parenthood

(Sarah Anderson – PJ Media) Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have been making lots of new friends and enemies lately, as President-elect Donald Trump tapped the two businessmen to head the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). To the delight of conservatives and pro-life people around the country, the latest on that enemies list is none other than Planned Parenthood.

In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal published last week, Musk and Ramaswamy pointed out that “DOGE will help end federal overspending by taking aim at the $500 billion-plus in annual federal expenditures that are unauthorized by Congress or being used in ways that Congress never intended.”… Continue reading

Who Will Replace Wray at the FBI?

“Nearly four years hence, the FBI’s failure to identify the person who planted those pipe bombs at both the Democrat and Republican Party headquarters in one of the most heavily surveilled areas in the entire world, even though the bureau released video footage of the suspect sitting on a bench in front of the DNC while using his cellphone, is, shall we say, deeply mysterious.”

(Douglas Andrews – The Patriot Post) “Just spoke to President Trump regarding Mike Rogers going to the FBI. It’s not happening — In his own words, ‘I have never even given it a thought.’ Not happening.”

So said Trump Senior Advisor Dan Scavino on Friday in response to a question about who’d fill one of the leading posts for which the president-elect has yet to announce a nominee: FBI director…. Continue reading
