VIDEOIs there any doubt that Pete Buttigieg is the WORST Transportation Secretary ever? Yet this walking, talking BS artist was recently BRAGGING in New Hampshire. Perhaps instead of not very subtly running for President he should try RUNNING his own Transportation Department. Or does he know he is waaaay too incompetent to perform that task so avoids that by going out on the campaign trail to brag, brag, BRAG.

VIDEOPete Buttigieg in 2019 when he was a presidential candidate, decribed himself as offering the public Impossible Burgers. He described it as a "metaphor" and it turns out that is what the Democrats are doing. Offering Impossible Burgers to the public. Recession? Actually that is somehow good for you. Open borders? Hey, the Director of Homeland Security Mayorkas has described the border as secure so enjoy that IMPOSSIBLE Burger. Inflation? It was only transitory so enjoy the minor month to month increase in the rate of inflation. Another economic IMPOSSIBLE Burger for you to pretend to enjoy.Despite people hating it...

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is asking the state's Supreme Court to investigate New York Attorney General Letitia James for publishing a report claiming he sexually assaulted multiple women during his tenure. Cuomo claims James manipulated the investigation in order to pursue her own run for governor, failed to appoint independent investigators to the case and omitted crucial evidence from her report released last August. Cuomo argued James's press conference announcing the findings of the report "was meant to be prejudicial and highly inflammatory, and to villainize me in the public eye, and to mislead the public and the...

Matt Walsh on Vanderbilt University Gender Clinic I wasn't sure how to embed a YouTube video, so I put a link. It is worth your time watching this to understand just how pernicious the trans lobby has become.

Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee has called for an investigation of the Pediatric Transgender Clinic at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) after shocking videos posted by Matt Walsh detailed a doctor’s promotion of “big money maker” transgender surgeries. The videos obtained by Walsh also show apparent threats made against medical professionals at VUMC if they objected to the procedures, even for religious reasons. “The ‘pediatric transgender clinic’ at Vanderbilt University Medical Center raises serious moral, ethical and legal concerns,” Lee said in a statement to The Daily Wire. “We should not allow permanent, life-altering decisions that hurt children or policies...

The man told doctors who treated him that he could still urinate, but it had become uncomfortable to do so. Surgeons chose to remove the ring using an electric grinder, which are often relied on to cut through metal. Doctors able to pull the ring off after it was broken, releasing the man's member. Cutting metal creates heat, so the man’s penis had to be sprayed with 'continuous saline injection' to cool it down during the procedure. Medics also inserted a metal plate between the ring and penile skin to prevent burn or pressure injury. Writing in the journal, doctors...

President Joe Biden and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg addressed the Detroit Auto Show Wednesday to boast about their infrastructure policies, even as a massive rail strike looms that could shut down freight and some passenger traffic.

America has long prided itself on being a country where people can choose whatever religion they like. The majority has long chosen Christianity. By 2070, that may no longer be the case. If current trends continue, Christians could make up less than half of the population — and as little as a third— in 50 years. Meanwhile, the so-called nones — or the religiously unaffiliated — could make up close to half of the population. And the percentage of Americans who identify as Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and other non-Christian faiths could double. Those are among the major findings of...

Pro-family advocates only have weeks left to convince Republicans to vote against the Respect for Marriage Act.WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The U.S. Senate will vote on a Democrat bill to codify forced recognition of same-sex “marriage” and open the door to federal recognition of polygamy “in coming weeks,” Democrat majority leader Chuck Schumer announced Wednesday, in what may be a sign that Democrats have found ten Republicans willing to defect. HR 8404, the so-called “Respect for Marriage Act,” would repeal the longstanding (but unenforced) Defense of Marriage Act (which recognized marriage as a man-woman union in federal law and protected...

These utterances must be regarded as a preview of the future. Once a group of people has been branded evil and a threat to democracy, it presents an excuse to be stop them at any cost. There is little to gain from reading The New York Times and The Washington Post or watching MSNBC and CNN. The word ‘biased’ is insufficient to describe these outfits; instead, they must be regarded as a propaganda wing of the Democrat party. Their content reveals the mindset of the Democrats. They are so self-righteous that they unabashedly divulge what occupies their grey cells. This...

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has temporarily suspended a federal rule for fuel sales in four states, including Indiana, in response to a fire that occurred at an oil refinery in Indiana last week. It is feared that the incident may cause disruptions in both gas pricing and supply, AP reported. “As part of the Federal Government’s response to a fire and shutdown at the BP Whiting Refinery in Whiting, Indiana, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan today issued an emergency fuel waiver to help alleviate fuel shortages in four states whose supply of gasoline has been impacted...

Founded in 2006, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue is a London-based nonprofit with a stated purpose of "safeguarding human rights and reversing the rising tide of polarisation [sic], extremism, and disinformation worldwide." The group previously worked with the Obama administration, combating "violent extremism," and their website lists critical topics most vulnerable to fake news and hate speech, which include:Electoral, climate, and public health disinformationConspiracy networksFar-right extremismLGBTQIslamophobiaA recent blog posted to the ISD website discussed a "hate-riddled public health disinformation campaign" where social media users identified monkeypox as almost exclusively (if not entirely) spread by homosexual male relations and questioned how...

Around 40% of people with monkeypox are living with HIV, but the proportion can be substantially higher in some areas, according to recent reports on the ongoing global outbreak. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the British HIV Association (BHIVA) recently issued new guidance for the prevention and treatment of monkeypox in people with HIV.

A gay porn star has shared photographs of how his moneypox symptoms developed over a month, graduating from small bumps he thought were razor burn to huge blisters that could leave him scarred. Silver Steele, of Houston, Texas, started getting monkeypox symptoms around July 11, when small pimple-like white spots started appearing around his mouth. Over the course of three weeks, Steele saw the spots develop into painful red blisters before they eventually scabbed over and started healing. He said he was posting the montage of his symptom development 'not to gross anyone out, but to educate'. 'This is really...

If insanity involves an inability or unwillingness to accept and deal with ineluctable realities, then every last Democrat in the United States Senate, all fifty of them, is insane and has no business being anywhere near the levers of power. This was made clear yet again on Sunday, when the entire bloc of those who think of themselves as our intellectual and moral superiors voted against recognizing a fact that has been obvious since the dawn of recorded time. Every last Democrat voted against an amendment to the infamously misnamed Inflation Reduction Act — which will do absolutely nothing to...

Mark the date in your memory; August 8, 2022. It will be recorded in history as the "Shattering of American Democracy." Although nowhere near the bestial, violent actions of the Nazi brownshirts against helpless German Jews during the two days known as Kristallnacht in 1939, there is a similarity in the message - one of the end of the rule of democratic values and civil rights. (Kristallnacht, however was the German Nazis' opening salvo of fascism, the beginning of the extermination of Jews and democracy, on November 9, 1938.) Yesterday was a sad day for all of patriotic Americans, as...

"When a world famous physicist rushed to post groundbreaking pictures from the new James Webb Space Telescope of a distant planet, the first ever taken of it, people sat up and took notice. And by default anything such a person said is given great deference. You don’t expect someone like that to post something you later discover was a joke all along. But his approximately 92000 followers on Twitter learned that is exactly what it was. In this case it wasn’t really harmful as after an hour of teasing them all about Spanish charcuterie not existing anywhere but Earth, and...

A homosexual “married” couple in Georgia has been arrested in connection with allegations that they used two young boys they had adopted to produce child pornography. The two men, William Zulock and Zachary Zulock, aged 32 and 35, adopted the two young brothers in 2018, following their 2016 “marriage.” According to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office, the men were arrested for “engaging in sexually abusive acts and video documenting the abuse” of the boys who had been entrusted to their care. Although the ages of the adopted brothers have not been released, a May 2019 Instagram post by William Zulock...

In a recent House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg proclaimed “the more pain we are all experiencing from the high price of gas, ​the more benefit there is for those who can access electric vehicles.” That evoked a response from Florida Rep. Carlos Gimenez. “So you’re saying the more pain we have, the more benefit we’re going to get?” the Florida Rep. wondered. “Of course — no,” said Buttigieg with a laugh. “I think that’s what I heard you say,” countered Gimenez, who later tweeted “the more pain Americans felt, the better for electric vehicles. It’s...

ndiana's legislature became the first in the nation on Friday to pass new legislation restricting access to abortions since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Other states have already banned abortion, thanks to pre-existing 'trigger laws' that went into effect when Roe was repealed, but Indiana is the first to usher in a new law. The measure now goes to Republican Governor Eric Holcomb, who has not indicated whether he will sign it. The ban includes limited exceptions, including in cases of rape and incest, and to protect the life and physical health of the mother. The exceptions...
