President Donald Trump re-launched the White House COVID briefings this week — briefings that CNN opted to show in bits after famously deciding this spring to cut away from the president's COVID updates, calling them "propaganda" at one time. For many weeks, Vice President Mike Pence, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx, and other members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force would give nearly daily briefings on current research, policies, and recommendations on the pandemic. Sometimes even President Trump would make an appearance. Then the briefings went away. Trump restarted them this week, holding a few COVID pressers between Monday and Friday. The president struck what many considered a new tone — backing off his previous demand that all schools reopen this fall regardless of the prevalence of the virus in the local communities, urging all people to wear masks and touting masks' effectiveness, and warning that things were going to get worse ...

A Florida mayor advised residents to wear face masks at home to try to reduce coronavirus transmission between family members. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez (R) is urging residents to wear a mask inside their house because COVID-19 spreading among families is reportedly the most common type of transmission. "Our messaging has always been, if you're outside or if you're indoors you need to wear a mask and you need to socially distance," Suarez said on Thursday during a COVID-19 press briefing . "I would tell our residents — and this is voluntary, this is not something that we can mandate — that they should consider, particularly if they have a multigenerational household, wearing masks indoors, at times, with their multigenerational residents and also respecting social distance when they're at home," he added. "Because again we're seeing the largest center of spread being our house." "The mask in public rule is working: we went from a hi...

Bernell Trammell was shot dead in broad daylight on Thursday in Milwaukee. Trammell's death has sparked questions if his "senseless" murder was politically motivated since he was an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump. The 60-year-old black man was killed in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood on Thursday afternoon. Around 12:30 p.m., Trammell was shot in front of his shop. Patricia Holland, who lives near the crime scene, said she heard multiple gunshots near Trammell's business, Expressions Journal Publications. "I seen the ambulance and stuff – the police flying by my house, and I just said, 'Oh my god,'" Holland said. "What happened to him, I mean — it shouldn't happen to anyone. It's a senseless death." Trammell was known as a " Rasta street preacher ," who had a variety of signs near his shop, including quoting Bible verses, promoting Black Lives Matter, supporting President Trump, and a hand-painted si...

Forget taking a knee during the national anthem. That's so yesterday. As far as the WNBA is concerned, the NFL — and now Major League Baseball — can have that protest to themselves. Instead, the New York Liberty and the Seattle Storm pulled out a new move: They just walked off the court as the national anthem played, EPSN reported. What's that now? During the 2016 NFL pre-season, then-49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began kneeling during the playing of the national anthem before games, and the movement caught on among many of his fellow players and continues to this day. In the wake of the George Floyd killing and as social justice movements have gathered steam across the U.S., kneeling has become increasingly popular. Apparently, it has become so popular that it's now passé, so two WNBA teams decided to take it up a notch and garner more attention. The Liberty and Storm elected to walk off the court Saturday during the playing of the nati...

Embattled Atilis Gym in New Jersey took another hit Friday — this time it came at the hand of a Superior Court judge, the New York Post reported . New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy's administration ordered the Bellmawr gym closed after co-owners Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti refused on May 18 to shutter their business in the wake of the governor's coronavirus shutdown mandate. The owners said they were going "to fight for our rights," so the state came down on them hard. Even Gov. Murphy took specific aim at Atilis Gym during a news conference that week, saying, "If you show up at that gym again tomorrow, there's going to be a different reality than showing today. ... These just aren't words, we've got to enforce this, but I also don't want to start World War III." And on May 21, Murphy's government, as well as county officials, plastered the gym with notices declaring the business closed. On Friday, in a c...

Controversial billionaire CEO Elon Musk has done it again. Did he introduce a new invention, like a new electric automobile or another rocket or a new online payment platform or a functional hyperloop ? Nope. Instead, he got into another digital controversy. Musk took to Twitter — the virtual land where nothing good can happen — and declared , "Pronouns suck." And the Twitterverse was none too happy. Neither was his girlfriend, hit Canadian musician Grimes. What's all this now? Musk has a history of being involved in online dustups: from smoking pot on camera to blasting COVID lockdowns to mocking CNN to declaring on Twitter that he was moving his company from California to Texas. Just recently ripped COVID tests for their inaccuracy and demanded that anyone who has tested positive should be tested again because of so many alleged "false positives." On Friday night, the Tesla founder wrote a two-word Tweet that set people off: "Pronouns suck."...

Three people were shot during a protest in Louisville, Ky., on Saturday. The demonstrators were accidentally shot by a member of their own militia group. Shortly before 1 p.m., there was a shooting near Baxter Square Park in Louisville. Reportedly , the firearm of a protester accidentally discharged, and three individuals were injured. All three victims were transported to the University of Louisville Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Louisville Metro Police Chief Robert Schroeder. You can hear the gunshot at the 13-minute mark of this video posted by reporter and News2Share founder Ford Fischer. The person who accidentally fired their weapon is a member of the Not F***ing Around Coalition, which is an all-black militia. The bullets struck other militia members of the NFAC. When the shots rang out, people scattered, and others took shelter behind cars, according to WHAS-TV reporter Jessie Cohen. BREAKI...

'We cannot and will not acquiesce to a government-imposed moratorium on our weekly congregational worship,' MacArthur and the church's elder board said in a statement. Elle Reynolds The Federalist https://thefederalist.com/

This topic has come up many times in the last few years:  States’ rights vs Federal law.  Whether it is regarding the Electoral College method of selecting a President, or sanctuary cities or States, or Immigration law, or Obamacare, the distinction between what was intended in the Constitution vs what is happening now is a HUGE topic.  As a history nut, I’ve read quite a bit on the subject, but I’m not sure it is even taught anymore.  When Civics stopped being a thing, and US History became a ‘bash the US’ subject, we seem to have lost historical perspective.  Let’s dig. (H/T to Wallace Garneau for the topic): Many folks think we had the Revolutionary war (1776), then BAM, US Constitution!  But reality was quite different.  The war ended in 1783, the Constitution was ratified in 1789.  For the six-year period in between, our fledgling young country was run by the Articles of Confederation, which was a loose agreement of the States from 1781.  And run very poorly under those Articles...

You might have thought that Absurd Britannia couldn’t possibly get any more absurd. You’d have been wrong. The Daily Mail reported Monday that British “police are considering dropping the terms ‘Islamist terror’ and ‘jihadi’ because they ‘don’t help community relations.’” The cops were apparently mum about whether jihad terrorism and jihadis themselves “don’t help community relations.” They’re much more concerned about nomenclature. If we don’t offend the poor dears, you see, all will be well, and jihad will become a thing of the past. Well, that is, not “jihad,” but whatever Britain’s politically correct elite decide to call it. Maybe they could take a page from the Washington Redskins and call jihadis The London Football Team. The Daily Mail notes that “alternatives suggested include ‘faith-claimed terrorism’, ‘terrorists abusing religious motivations’ and ‘adherents of Osama bin Laden’s ideology.’” What exactly is Osama bin Laden’s ideology? Don’t expect the British police ...

Nazi-woke on the march. Where are the rallies, demos, outcries for a black man who stood up for what he believed? Prominent Black Trump Supporter Murdered in Milwaukee By Dan O’Donnell , Newstalk1130, Jul 24, 2020 A black Trump supporter who was well known in his community for standing on street corners with “Vote Trump” signs as well as signs plastered with Bible verses was killed in broad daylight in Milwaukee’s Riverwest neighborhood Thursday afternoon. Bernell Tremmell, 60, was shot in front of his business, Expression Publications, at 911 E. Wright. The building is covered in handmade signs, the most prominent of which read “Vote Donald Trump 2020,” and “Re-Elect Trump 2020.” Law enforcement sources tell “The Dan O’Donnell Show” that it is impossible to know the motive for the shooting since the suspect is not yet in custody, but detectives are investigating the possibility that Tremmell was killed over his political beliefs.

It’s what Democrat lawmakers do. Just like Obamacare they foisted on America. Garbage healthcare, but not for them. As for the DC protests, carry on and infect each other. Washington, D.C., mandates face masks for the public, but exempts all lawmakers and government employees Washington, D.C., mandates face masks for the public, but exempts all lawmakers and government employees By: Ethan Huff, Newstarget, July 23, 2020: Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington, D.C., has decreed that everyone present in the federal territory must wear a face mask, including three-year-olds, to supposedly help stop the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). But exempt from the order are all lawmakers and government employees, because they are apparently a different breed that is incapable of catching or spreading invisible germs. Bowser’s mandate, which was not legally passed as a law, orders everyone over the age of two in D.C. to wear a face mask both indoors and outdoors, or else face f...

A&E’s Ratings Nose-Dive After Network Bows To Mob Pressure To Cancel ‘Live PD’ By Evita Duffy, The Federalist, July 24, 2020: Cable television ratings for A&E Network have plummeted since it canceled the hit police reality show, “Live PD” on June 10, according to the Wall Street Journal. Following the death of George Floyd and riots led by “Black Lives Matter” across the country, A&E Network capitulated to demands to cancel the law enforcement show saying in a statement : “This is a critical time in our nation’s history and we have made the decision to cease production on Live PD. Going forward, we will determine if there is a clear pathway to tell the stories of both the community and the police officers whose role it is to serve them. And with that, we will be meeting with community and civil rights leaders as well as police departments.” The woke move turned out to be a devastating financial m...

We are living in so dangerous an age, that the mere confirmation of fundamental rule of law is a triumph. Judge denies Oregon’s request to stop arrests by federal officers during protests PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A U.S. judge on Friday denied Oregon’s request to restrict federal agents’ actions when they arrest people during chaotic protests that have roiled Portland and pitted local officials against the Trump administration. By: Gillian Flaccus, Associated Press, July 24, 2020: Federal agents deployed by President Donald Trump to tamp down the unrest have arrested dozens during nightly demonstrations against racial injustice that often turn violent. Democratic leaders in Oregon say federal intervention has worsened the two-month crisis, and the state attorney general sued to allege that some people had been whisked off the streets in unmarked vehicles. U.S. District Judge Michael Mosman said the state lacked standing to sue on behalf of protesters because the lawsuit ...

OPINION ( ETH ) – Two events just took place that has many believers wondering if God Almighty is sending yet more warnings to the United States of America? The first event was an intense lightning storm that recently took place over New York City that resulted in lightning striking Lady Liberty and was captured on video. The second event was a series of powerful thunderstorms recently besieged Washington, DC, and surrounding areas on Thursday night, producing intense lightning to light up the night skies, prompting some to even speculate whether the gods were angry or if aliens were finally attacking our planet.

I f Joe Biden is the best the Democrat Party has to offer their constituents as the best candidate for POTUS, Democrats are in serious trouble. But, are they? Except for the seemingly endless investigations into the Deep State coup d’état, and except for the recent autocracy of Democrat governors of states imposing their unconstitutional lockdown mandates on their residents, and except for the major ineptitude of the Democrat mayors of major cities in the United States in handling, or enabling, the Marxist insurrection currently underway, it seems their candidate may be doing just fine. He may be the best foot forward for the Democrats in 2020. Those concerned with his apparent ineptitude and grip on reality must look at the bigger picture.

It is during moments of great crisis that we find out who we really are, and that is why the governmental response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been so heartbreaking.  Instead of rallying around our founding principles, Democrats and Republicans have both gravitated toward “solutions” that are in the exact opposite direction.  Bigger government programs, more government tyranny and huge socialist transfer payments have all been greatly welcomed by the mainstream media and by large portions of the U.S. population, and at the same time very few voices are warning us that these measures are eroding our fundamental rights, exploding the size of our national debt and setting extremely dangerous precedents for the future. Once people become accustomed to receiving money directly from the federal government, it is exceedingly difficult to ever cut those payments off.  If you think back through our history, it is difficult to name a single major transfer payment program that was ever rolled...

Who could it be? Report: Seven Ships Catch Fire at Iranian Port of Bushehr avatar by Reuters and Algemeiner Staff, July 15, 2020: At least seven ships have caught fire at Iran‘s Bushehr port, the Tasnim news agency reported on Wednesday, in what appeared to be the latest in a series of fires and explosions around the country, some of which have hit sensitive sites.
