By Nick Arama Joe Biden seems to be getting worse lately. Perhaps it's because so many things are blowing up because of his failed policies, especially in the Middle East. Perhaps it's also because they're making him run around to more events to campaign so they're upping what he has to do and it's showing. Perhaps his condition is just getting worse. I tend to think it's all the above. Whatever it is, you can see an increase in his incoherence and confusion, particularly over the past couple of weeks. But they're still playing this game where they tell him to jog a few steps to prove how vigorous he is.  Here he is speaking at the   International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers’ Construction and Maintenance Conference in Washington, D.C. on Friday.  WARNING: INTENSE VIGOR pic.twitter.com/hc5oE8kMsF — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 19, 2024 Jogging a couple of steps doesn't translate to having the coherence for the job, and unfortunately, the

By Mike Miller Joe Biden has fulfilled another campaign promise, America. As has been the case with most, if not all, of the controlled-by-handlers president's actions, his latest fulfillment takes another bite out of this country as we know it. That's not an overstatement. The Biden administration has unveiled new rules to protect so-called gender identity, sexual orientation, and "sex “characteristics” — not to be confused with biological gender. The new provisions, part of a revised  Title IX  regulation issued by the Education Department, change how sexual harassment and assault claims are adjudicated on college campuses. Jennifer Sey , founder and CEO of XX-XY Athletics, nailed it. The new final rules re-write discrimination as " based on stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex characteristics. ” But not actual sex.  They are eliminating sex-based categories  and distinctions. And gaslighting us into accepting that there is no actual difference

By Ward Clark I've maintained for many years that cities aren't good for people. Part of that is my own rural bias talking, of course. While I lived in a suburb of a major city for many years (Denver) I grew up in a small town/rural environment and live in a rural setting now. Even so, it always has seemed to me that cramming millions of people into a hive-like New York isn't good for people in general, and I think the various behavioral pathologies we see in America's major urban areas today bear that view out. But now, in New York City, it's not just behavioral illnesses, but real ones, spread by a pest that has vexed humanity  since the very beginning of, well, humanity — rats . A life-threatening bacterial infection typically spread through rat urine sickened a record number of people in New York City last year—and this year looks on track for another all-time high, the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene reports. The infection is leptospirosis, whic

By Jeff Charles Isra Hirsi, a pro-Hamas protester who participated in protests at Columbia University, has been suspended from Barnard College. Hirsi happens to be the daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), a member of the  Hamas Caucus  in Congress, which further shows that the proverbial apple does not fall far from the tree. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Hirsi  complained  “in my 3 years at [Barnard College], I have never been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings,” and explained that she “just received notice that [she is] 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing genocide.” It’s called consequences. Welcome to Earth. — 🇺🇸 UltraMAGA Hillbilly 🇺🇸 (@TruthingtonPost) April 19, 2024 In a follow-up post, she  wrote  that "those of us in Gaza Solidarity Encampment will not be intimidated. we will stand resolute until our demands are met." And what are these demands Hirsi speaks of? The purpose of the  encampment  was to

By Nick Arama We've seen climate activists try all kinds of wild things for attention to push their cause, from blocking roads and gluing their hands to things to smearing things on great works of art. On Thursday, things didn't end well for activists from Climate Defiance at  an event involving Sen. Lisa Murkowski . Murkowski was giving a speech at the Bryce Harlow Foundation's awards ceremony. She was also receiving their Bryce Harlow award. But then about a dozen climate protesters reportedly rushed the stage and found out that wasn't a great idea. BREAKING: We just shut down a gala honoring U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski is a murderer. She incinerates us to enrich her cronies. As Chevron's top lobbyist gave her an award, we stepped in and stopped the ceremony. Respect us or expect us. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/Q72mHerpdg — Climate Defiance (@ClimateDefiance) April 18, 2024 Several men in suits and guests grabbed protesters who were holding a banner. One o

  The Roots of the First American Revolution “The ultimate authority … resides in the people alone. … The advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation … forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any…” —James Madison (Federalist No. 46) On April 19th, we honor the anniversary of Patriots’ Day, the dawn of  American Liberty , marking the opening salvo of the American Revolution in 1775. That day’s battles were the first steps toward establishing an irrevocable declaration of the unalienable  Rights of Man , the rights of all people, subordinating the  rule of men  to our Creator-inspired  Rule of Law , which is the basis for our Republic’s Constitution. April 19, 1775 — The Sons of Liberty and the first Patriots’ Day On December 16, 1773, “radicals” from Boston, members of a secret organization of American Patriots called the Sons of Liberty, boarded three East India Company ships and threw 342 ches

By Frank Bergman Democrats in Arizona have pushed through voting laws that have paved the way for illegal aliens to vote in America’s federal elections. Arizona voting laws have  allowed  non-citizens, whether they are legal or not, to register and cast a ballot in the 2024 presidential election. During an  interview  with the Gateway Pundit, retired U.S. Air Force master sergeant  Nick Kupper  detailed the loophole in Arizona’s laws that allows illegals to vote in the critical election. Kupper is one of several state legislature candidates vying for a seat for District 25 in the Arizona House of Representatives. While the voting laws do not affect his run for office, he is gravely concerned about the upcoming presidential race. “In Arizona, even if the state can’t verify whether you’re a citizen, people can still assert that they are citizens,” Kupper said. While these individuals are not allowed to vote in Arizona elections, they can still vote in the federal election.
