28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28 Maui has become the biggest coverup of a natural disaster the PA derailment. The state and federal swamps are not releasing the information on deaths or missing children as it fears the investigation of another mass killing will point to the District of Corruption not only causing the deaths and disaster...

This posted tonight on X (formerly twitter) by Charlie Johnston @JohnstonPilgram It sums alot of my feelings about all this. ************************************************* Public Service Message for my leftist sparring partners here on X. You folks really do not understand what you have done and why you can't fast-talk your way past it. I am 67 years old. Spent my life mainly in politics, from the local to state levels and offering counsel at the national level. The other part of my life was in media, a managing editor of a group of suburban newspapers and political columnist and then a radio...

Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD. Jeremiah 23:24 (King James Version) There is an old saying in DC which says, “An honest politician is one who when he is bought, he stays bought.” This week marked another step in the gradual reveal of the coup which the DNC machine organized against President Trump and the American people. A coup so deep and sophisticated it encompassed every part of Gummit and media to make sure the mistake of Hillary's defeat would...

As a physician I was told by the hospital there was a 90 minute meeting that was REQUIRED I needed to put on my schedule. Turns out it was a “seminar” of sorts. A guest speaker was brought in who was a consultant in communications. The reason (announced in advance) was the guest speaker was a being brought in as part of a campaign to “change the business model” of the hospital. Seems the “businessmen” realized the organization was suffering “from a lack of input by the physicians (insightful, eh?). There wanted to transform the model to include physicians in...

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1 Everything the Conspiracy nuts, Qanon, Alex Jones, and MAGA was laughed at and mocked for the past six years was true according to the Durham Report. The Nation’s greatest intelligence scandal happened at the hands of Barak, Biden, and his KGB and CIA to spy on Trump from the time he came down the elevator and all through his administration and nobody in the Samestream media reports on it. They and everyone in Moscow on the...

Transwomen should play in separate leagues, so that everyone can compete while ensuring safe and fair competition for women and girls.

History won’t remember the cowards and collaborators of our day with any more kindness than it recalls those of former times. The nice thing about the long view of history is that it’s a beautiful picture. It may take decades, even centuries, but eventually the truth all comes out. Arrogant dimwits in positions of power, so insufferable during their reigns, become the subject of acid biopics and tell-all biographies. The people who apologized for them, and benefited from their patronage, wind up looking sinister, or criminal, even to their own grandchildren. My Greek father-in-law had a memory of Nazi collaborators...

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18 The Communist Party has been using a cleaver trick for decades and Conservatives continue to fall for it. The Dems always claim to be the Party of science even though there is no scientific proof for any of their proclamations. They have simply changed the definition of science to fit their Communist agenda so it becomes a club to force Socialism down America’s throat. Follow the science is their main mantra even though...

I lived for very many years in rural Vermont. I’d bought a long-abandoned, post-and-beam farmhouse on a third-class dirt road. The realtor was a German immigrant who’d come to Vermont with his wife and infant children just after the war. He suggested that I call a local builder, Bob, to inspect the house, which was superficially in dreadful shape, but the farm and basement were sound. Bob said he’d be glad to put it right, and he and his brother-in-law restored it to its 1805 perfection. Bob’s family had lived through the war in Germany, and through the famine afterward,...

Dear Collette, For the past four days, I've been thinking about writing this letter. I couldn't write earlier because I was crying. Four days ago, I got the news about Robert. Tears washed away my ink. Friday? Saturday? My brain ping-ponged from one scheme to another – should I march? Should I fast? Should I paint a protest sign? Should I go to Robert's house and pray the rosary on my knees? Should I write a letter to my senator, Cory "Spartacus" Booker? I am as voiceless as a submerged sea sponge. Robert's life didn't matter. My life doesn't...

Alongside Poland, Hungary has formed a semi-alliance of conservative central European powers, and has been an example of sorts for Western conservatives. They all should do more.Entrenched leftists within the U.S. State Department are supporting the effort to demote Viktor Orban from prime minister of Hungary, if a report in Financial Times is correct. The Biden administration also left Hungary off its invitation list for a forthcoming international virtual Democracy Summit on Dec. 9 and 10 to which some 100 countries were invited.“Trump and his enablers and those who invaded and attacked our Capitol, they don’t like the world we’re...

Smash & Grab: A View Through The Broken Glass By J. JohnsonI promised to answer an important question to a reader. Bogged down by family health issues, perhaps it was a blessing to allow other recent events to take place before a proper response:A reader wrote:"… Things are looking bleak for continued civilized country. Crime is going crazy. I know and work with many blacks. I’m in the engineering arena. I cannot ask a single person. What do successful blacks think about the absurd levels of black crime? ….[snip]"Long question short, what do average successful blacks think about things like...

On August 2, 1776, in the hushed silence pervading Independence Hall’s Assembly Room, in Philadelphia, fifty six Congress members signed The Declaration of Independence. Some signed furtively, some with aplomb, like the first signer John Hancock, President of The Continental Congress, but all signed the pivotal parchment with resolve, knowing that appending their signatures would alter their lives irreversibly and place each one in mortal danger. They validated and affirmed Independence from the British Empire in a document prepared by a Committee composed of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingston, and Roger Sherman. Thomas Jefferson’s eloquence and common...

A year after Biden's election, the question of whether anyone really intended to destroy democratic republicanism in the United States is now moot. Forty-six years ago, a headline in New York�s Daily News read "Ford to City: Drop Dead." Today, the Biden administration and its legion of corporate media and big tech allies communicate the same message to the American people so consistently, and so pointedly, that one can only conclude the humiliation of the electorate is a matter of policy. The administration's undeniable incompetence, fresh evidence of which is forthcoming every day as it squabbles over vaccine mandates and...

History is the guidepost to the future. Everything that happens has happened before and so, the study of history is what one does to interpret the present to be ready for the future. The ability to predict the future is of little use, because people don’t listen. No matter how accurately one predicts the future, or how loudly they speak, the ability to force others to act on that prediction is an impossible task. They retreat into what they can prove, what exists physically in front of them. Normally, that’s all right. It’d be nice to stop the worst from...

A couple of years ago, I had the honor of publishing American Secession: The Looming Threat of a National Breakup by Frank Buckley, a prolific author and law professor at George Mason University. Buckley began by noting the obvious: that we in America are more divided now than at any time since the 1850s. We know how that Disunited States of America worked out, and the horror of the Civil War—what Buckley calls Secession 1.0—has led many of us to conclude that we’d put up with almost anything rather than risk a repeat of that disaster. “Almost” anything. Buckley does...

What does the Afghanistan Crisis mean to YOUR LIFE? The events of the last 72 hours have been breathtaking in their speed and their seriousness. The Taliban has seized power in Afghanistan, after America spent trillions of dollars and thousands of lives trying to install and keep a secular government in that landlocked, opium-producing country. In the rapid advance of the Taliban, ten thousand Americans and hundreds of thousands of Afghan civilian allies have been trapped in the country, with no chance of escape. Women will be raped; men will be beheaded or tortured....unless we pay the Taliban billions in...

What you have to understand – this is not just about Trump and the Deplorables – it is about others too – millions and millions – and millions - in places far away – countries – continents - already consumed by despotism - benevolent or avowedly evil; villages – towns – precincts – parishes – places far away – you probably couldn’t imagine – or even pronounce their names; who live every single day they are alive – told what to do – how and when to do it - in every item – element – aspect – iota –...

A photo of an English essay has gone viral and divided the internet after it was shared by the teacher who marked it. Professor Alexis Pereira, who is based in New York, took to Twitter to post an image that revealed details of a paper written by a student, which had nothing to do with the assigned subject.“Teaching my first English course this semester has been rewarding but I don’t know what to do with this student,” he tweeted.The essay, which has been awarded a D, comes with a comment written by Prof Pereira in red declaring the student’s efforts...

High school Pete Buttigieg and 2020 Pete Buttigieg have a very different view of Bernie Sanders. The surging presidential candidate has been openly critical of the Vermont senator on the campaign trail ever since the two finished neck-and-neck in last week's Iowa caucuses. But the former South Bend mayor once penned an award-winning essay that praised Sanders' character and politics -- back when he was in high school. In 2000, then-high school senior Buttigieg won the John F. Kennedy “Profiles in Courage” essay contest with a piece touting Sanders’ then-bipartisan streak and his bravery for calling himself a “socialist,” despite...
