    The United States Military Academy at West Point is introducing a new curriculum that includes courses on “deconstructing patriotism,” “cross-dressing in the military,” and other topics related to gender norms and representation. These courses are part of a broader initiative by the Biden regime to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) propaganda into the curriculum over duty, honor, and country. Former Navy SEAL and Representative Scott Taylor (R-VA) tweeted his concerns after the curriculum was reportedly shared with him, stating, “This was sent to me, classes at U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Quite sure China and Russia are not...

    On March 6, 1981, Marianne Bachmeier smuggled a Beretta 70 handgun into the Lubeck District court, in Germany. Klaus Grabowski was to be sentenced for kidnapping, raping, and killing Bachmeier's seven-year-old daughter. She calmly pulled out the Beretta and shot Grabowski in the back seven times, once for each year of life of her deceased daughter. Grabowski died on the spot. She is Mother of the Century, to me.

    Tonette Scott, a mother to six, and previously a grandmother to six, celebrated the addition of four grandchildren in a single day. Scott was at the hospital supporting her daughter, Raighan Scott, who was in labor when the doctor came in with an unexpected announcement. Scott described the moment saying, Dr. Phillips came in. He said, ‘Well you better put some running shoes on, Grandma, 'cause you're gonna be going down the hall.' I said, ‘Why?' He said, ‘I just admitted Ty.' I said, ‘What!?' Another daughter, Tatyana Simmons, "Ty", was pregnant with twins and had come in dealing with...

    Two Alabama moms, Sophie Clark and Nicole Davis, were total strangers when they went in to deliver their babies at Huntsville Hospital on April 10th, but they couldn't pass up the chance to meet after they serendipitously named their babies after the most famous power couple in country music history, Johnny Cash and June Carter. [snip]] The hospital staff then arranged for the moms and babies to meet, and the two families say they plan to stay in touch. [snip] In addition to being named after the country music stars, both of the babies were actually named after their own...

    (NEXSTAR) – Country artist Randy Travis released a new song Friday — nearly 11 years after a stroke left him largely unable to speak or sing. Travis had teased the release of “Where That Came From” earlier this week, previewing a snippet of the song along with a video featuring footage from what appeared to be the recording process. In it, Travis could be seen observing the studio musicians, though not actively singing. “Eleven years ago I never thought I would be able to have a hand in music production of any kind,” Travis wrote in a Facebook post a...

    Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) completely lost his mind during a House Judiciary Committee field hearing Friday after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) dared to invoke the name of far-left, pro-criminal billionaire George Soros.The field hearing, “Victims of Violent Crime in Philadelphia,” was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and headed by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). The purpose of the hearing was to examine how Soros-backed Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s soft-on-crime policies embolden criminals at the expense of innocent Philadelphia residents.

    Anti-Israel protests have rocked college campuses across the United States in past weeks and now protester arrest numbers are rising as authorities try to end the disruption.AP reports police have arrested nearly 2,200 people in the period of trouble with no sign of protests – or arrests – ending anytime soon despite police resorting to using riot gear, tactical vehicles and flash-bang devices to clear tent encampments and occupied buildings.Even as the arrests are being made, students are pleading for special treatment and demanding no records are kept of their lawful detention.
  • Latino Support Jumps For Trump’s Border Wall, Deportations

    Former President Donald Trump has vowed to take extreme actions to secure the U.S.-Mexico border if he wins November’s presidential election. And that promise is supported by a key voting bloc — Latinos. The most recent Axios-Ipsos Latino Poll shows that the percentage of Latinos who support erecting a border wall and deporting all undocumented immigrants has increased by at least 10 points since 2021. According to the research, even among those who might have connections to immigration, Trump’s calls for increased border security and possibly his anti-immigrant rhetoric are having an impact. The results also illuminate Republicans’ recent gains...

    A Florida man was arrested for a crime that could be mistaken for a headline in the Onion or the Babylon Bee. As the Smoking Gun reported, 20-year-old Khanye Edrayieze Medley was arrested on Monday by Clearwater Police on a domestic battery charge. He allegedly got into a verbal altercation with his sister, who he lives with, that turned physical in a most unusual way. The police affidavit shows that Medley grabbed a bag of chicken from his sister and began hurling pieces at her during an argument on Sunday. One piece of chicken hit her in the back and...

    Last week, flamethrowing robo-dogs became the newest draft pick for the military-industrial complex. Now, I love dogs. I am proudly a “dog person.” Hopefully, my dog buddies will be waiting for me in heaven. But I don’t know how to feel about Throwflame’s weaponized dog, Thermonator. With the push of a button for the plasma arc ignition, the murder mutt starts marching in a perfect cadence. Think of it as a kind of video game. A great one about the collapse of human civilization or imprisonment of sentient robot soldiers: These diesel-fueled canine machines are as heartless as any death-ready...

    An April Kaplan Strategies poll has former President Donald Trump with a big lead over President Joe Biden in Michigan. The poll has Trump leading Biden 51%-36% in a state that will be key to determining who wins the 2024 presidential election. Biden beat Trump in the Great Lakes State by 2.8 points in 2020. In 2016, Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by just .23 points, 10,000 votes, the first time Michigan voted Republican since 1988. Both sides have been campaigning aggressively in Michigan, with Trump recently hosting a rally in Freeland. Third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will also be...

    Stage 1. Establish a Beachhead Population density à 2% (US, Australia, Canada). Muslims are conciliatory, deferential but request harmless special treatment (foot bath facilities, removal/elimination of that which is offensive to delicate Muslim sensibilities - like walking dogs near Mosques). Stage 2. Establish Outposts Population density 2% - 5% (UK, Germany, Denmark). At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. A recent example is that of Sheikh Abdullah el-Faisal who is back in Jamaica after being kicked out of the UK. Sound harmless?...

  • Problem receiving Yahoo email from conservative sources

    05/01/2024 11:38:19 AM PDT · by jasonandtheb · 21 replies
    The sources include Epoch Times and Jihad Watch. I can find these emails via a Yahoo email search, and the results indicate they are in the inbox, but I can't see them there. I've checked my filters, but there is nothing that might cause this problem. I added filters to whitelist the sources, diverting the email in the Inbox, but that didn't work. I've been consulting with Epoch Times about this. Other users of theirs have had similar issues with several different email providers. Any ideas?
