Welcome to the weekend the Dictatorship of Covid-19 continues the "New Normal" emerging that isn't "True Normal". I got an N95 mask this week to use at work in both my jobs which helps me to perform better on the jobs. No headache or shortness of breath side effects I have experienced with other masks... Images have the power to outrage or enrage and in 1963 the race issue was propelled to the forefront in the United States when this was seen on television.... Well is this all about race?

A video posted on social media this week shows a police officer keeping his knee planted on the neck of a black man who pleaded that he couldn’t breathe and subsequently died shortly afterward. It happened Monday night, when cops were responding to a “forgery in progress.” Police arrived and saw the suspect sitting in a car. According to the Department, the man resisted arrest so he was placed in handcuffs, adding “he appeared to be suffering medical distress.” The Police Dept. added, “At no time were weapons of any type used by anyone involved in this incident.” What the...

"Analysts have long talked about the end of an American-led system and the arrival of an Asian century. This is now happening in front of our eyes. If the 21st century turns out to be an Asian century, as the 20th was an Amercian one, the pandemic may well be remembered as the turning point of this process" The words of the European Union's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell...... In Idaho last Thursday state police raiding the Hardware Brewing Company in Kendrick. The...

This is just dandy for all those who were worried about Michael Mulvey’s virtue; it has now been abundantly signaled. But the bitter irony here is that no matter how hard he tries to be a “force for peace,” he will find his efforts unable to persuade jihadis to lay down their arms and stop waging war against unbelievers, because those jihadis consider that war a divine command (cf. Qur’an 9:29). What’s more, the Roman Catholic Church in general is indefatigably committed to Pope Francis’ ridiculous claim that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form...

Like so many of us, Hillary Clinton’s usual Memorial Day activities have been thwarted by COVID19. Unlike so many of us, Hillary Clinton thought this tweet would strike just the right tone: I'm missing our Chappaqua Memorial Day parade today while also feeling grateful to leaders like @NYGovCuomo for making responsible decisions to keep people safe. Wishing everyone a safe and healthy holiday. @BillClinton and I will be waving our flags at home. — Hillary Clinton

President Trump began observing Memorial Day with a tweet Monday morning: “HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!” He then participated at a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, and will also attend a ceremony at Fort McHenry in Baltimore. Mr. Trump and first lady Melania Trump visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Monday morning. Although the wreath laying is usually part of a ceremony that involves a presidential address, Mr. Trump did not deliver a speech at the cemetery, which is closed to the public because of the coronavirus pandemic. For the solemn occasion, the first lady wore a white double-breasted coat with...

A Tribute and thanks to those who have heeded the call and especially to those who paid for our freedom by the giving of their the last full measure of devotion. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

In San Jose, California today Pastor Mike McClure of Calvary Chapel told worshipers at an outdoor service that the church will reopen for a regular indoor service next Sunday regardless of any local orders.....

In the 75th anniversary year since The Best Of The West defeated an axis of totalitarianism in 1945, the 45th president of The United States has proved that he knows what that year stood for.

JA was patient. GT is not. JA led by example. GT sticks out by example. GT is wealthy; JA endured poverty and respected the poor.

The video of a 20-year-old brutally beating an elderly patient at a Detroit nursing home has gotten national attention – and even the President has weighed in. President Donald Trump tweeted in disbelief after disturbing videos surfaced appearing to show a black man beating white elderly patients to a pulp at a Michigan nursing home. ‘Is this even possible to believe? Can this be for real? Where is this nursing home, how is the victim doing?’ the president tweeted later that same evening. The violent video is incredibly difficult to watch for most – including the father of the younger...

I need a list of email address for Senators and Congress. What I'm finding is that you have to go to each members home page and give them a ton of personal info before you get to the message. This could take hours. Does anyone have a simple list of email addresses or know where I can find them?

The Marine Corps has officially begun procurement of the Army's Modular Handgun System to replace its existing pistol arsenal, the service announced on Tuesday. The M18 service pistol — a compact variant of the striker-fired M17 that, based on Sig Sauer's P320, the Army adopted under the MHS program in 2017 — will finally see fielding this fiscal year, according to Marine Corps Systems Command. MARCORSYSCOM spokesman Maj. Ken Kunze had previously pegged the start of fielding at some time during the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, with a target completion date in "late 2023." The M18 will replace...

Premier Daniel Andrews runs a Socialist Left state government in Victoria with rules so draconian that some people call it Australia's Deep South. (https://freedom-demokrasi-and-civilised-humanity.com/2018/02/08/an-open-letter-to-daniel-andrews-police-state-tactics-from-the-alp/) While Australia's federal government was praised by Mike Pompeo for standing up strong for an enquiry into the origins of the C-19 virus, Andrews' treasurer Tim Pallas attacked the national government's efforts to get the truth. I love freedom. But the Andrews brand of socialism terrifies me.

"Shelly" of San Diego is a profoundly conservative woman who loves her country while mourning its decline. She knows how vulnerable the future of a great nation has become. She writes that "coronavirus reaching U.S. shores was like striking a match in a room packed with gunpowder." and says we have to ask: ""How did all this gunpowder get to be in the smoking room?" Who agrees?

Last year Joe Biden bragged about how he coerced Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor Victor Shokin by threatening that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees from them. While this type of interference in a foreign government by the then-Vice President of the United States is highly inappropriate in itself, what makes it even worse is that the prosecutor he got fired was probing a firm for which his son Hunter Biden worked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhrLWL7jzPY&feature=emb_title Today an audiotape has been released by a Ukrainian politician which details conversations between corrupt and discredited former Ukrainian President Petro...
