“What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” --Ecclesiastes 1:9 “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.” --George Santayana What we face as a nation is daunting; if we do not correct our left-leaning course, we will fall into the ashbin of history. The city on the hill. Gone. The U.S. is moving quickly towards a centralized state. Our liberties, our culture, and our national greatness are being subverted. Subverted by a corrupt, clever, twisted, amorphous blob of powerful people. Most of...

McDonald, like a half-dozen other people whose medical events are shown in the trailer for the anti-vaccine film "Died Suddenly," did not die as a result of the Covid-19 vaccine.Three minutes into the trailer for the widely debunked anti-vaccine film “Died Suddenly,” comedian Heather McDonald is shown collapsing on stage. In the background, a voiceover from people identified as “whistleblowers” lays out the film’s mission statement. “It’s the new bullet. It’s the new form of warfare,” the voice of a man in a darkened room says about the Covid vaccine. “The dead can’t speak for themselves, so therefore, I have...

The generally agreed-upon rule of thumb for comedians who delve into dark comedy is to always try to be more funny and more clever than offensive – the darker you go, the more creative you get to justify tackling the sensitive subject matter. This past weekend, anti-vax comedy icon Jim Breuer bravely defied this simple standard by making the most sophomoric, obvious and distasteful dig on the cardiac arrest suffered by Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin during Monday Night Football on January 2nd. While performing on the “ReAwaken America Tour,” an event branded as a coming together of conservative Christians,...

Beloved Borscht Belt comic and actor Freddie Roman, best known for his roasts as part of New York City’s Friars Club and later Comedy Central, died at the age of 85 on Saturday, his family said. Roman suffered a heart attack in Boynton Beach, Florida, his daughter confirmed to Deadline. The comic had spent most of his life in show business after he was given the opportunity to emcee at his uncle and grandfather’s Crystal Spring Hotel in the Catskills when he was just 15.

Three little pigs is a classic fairy tale, but when told in the language of William Shakespeare it becomes something completely different. Whether you have an extensive vocabulary or one with less words in your vernacular, you're sure to enjoy this amazing story telling experience from John Branyan.

'Life, Liberty & Levin' host Mark Levin breaks down what it means for someone to believe in 'America First.'

The once-cancelled stand-up comedian is apparently laughing in the face of danger as his upcoming performances at the National Palace of Arts in Kyiv are still scheduled to take place this weekend — despite Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. “The Louis CK Show in Kyiv has not been cancelled,” tweeted a fan Wednesday. The trending post was accompanied by a graphic reading: “Dear attendees, Louis C.K. performance will take place, as planned, on February 25 and 26, 2022. Tickets for Louis C.K. show purchased earlier remain valid for new dates and do not require an exchange.” Reps for Louis CK,...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – As of 7 p.m. ET on Monday, September 27, 2021, more than 5,200 doctors and scientists have signed the “The Physicians Declaration,” condemning policymakers for authoritarian approaches of forcing a “one-size-fits-all” COVID treatment strategy which is resulting in “needless illness and death.” An international alliance of physicians and medical scientists met in Rome, Italy on September 12 - 14 for a three-day Global COVID Summit to speak “truth to power about COVID pandemic research and treatment.” The summit presented an opportunity for the medical professionals to compare studies and assess the efficacy of the various treatments for...

Are Christians, at long last, aware of this horrible reality?’April 6, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Christian conservative leader James Dobson is urging Americans to take a public stand before it’s “too late” against President Joe Biden’s “radically-left agenda” that has brought the nation to a point where it is “teetering on the edge.” “It’s more clear than ever that our nation is teetering on the edge,” said Dobson, who has advised five presidents on faith and family matters over four decades, in a March 26 piece published on his website. “Are Christians, at long last, aware of this horrible reality? And...

Late-night host and comedian Jay Leno has issued an apology for a series of jokes told over his career targeting Asian communities. The apology comes after a nearly 15-year campaign from the activist group Media Action Network for Asian Americans (MANAA) for remarks as recent as Variety‘s 2020 report that Leno cracked about Koreans eating dog meat — a complaint that offended numerous players on the set of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.” “At the time I did those jokes, I genuinely thought them to be harmless,” Leno said in a joint press release with MANAA leader Guy Aoki. “I was...

While at her Hart Senate Office Building in Washington, a group of congressional staffers had gathered to meet the "Democratic star". The staffers all stood up but for one, who Ms Harris ordered to get to his feet immediately. Journalist Abby Aguirre wrote: "Harris has an air of celebrity that, under normal circumstances, a freshman senator wouldn’t have had time to acquire. "But this year has been anything but normal. "She greets the 20-somethings as though they’re relatives at a family reunion: 'Hi, everybody! Hi, guys!' "Then she notices that one of the staffers is still seated, and her voice...

Gadsby's work is a testament to how eagerly the arbiters of our culture will devour and elevate work that convincingly purports to be progressive. Hannah Gadsby’s mission to rescue comedy from cruelty ends with “Douglas,” an act so immensely cruel it rises nearly to the level of torture. Gadsby, of course, is famous only because her first major special, “Nanette,” rejected the art of stand-up comedy, arguing that “punch lines need trauma” and are inherently “destructive.” Having pleased the liberal arbiters of culture, Gadsby followed her “powerful” and “transformative” rejection of stand-up with a stand-up special. “Nanette,” as it turns...

Veteran actor-comedian Eddie Murphy is the latest comic to take a stand against cancel culture, suggesting that he doesn’t want to apologize for what he says when he returns to stand-up comedy in a tour scheduled for next year. Eddie Murphy told the Associated Press in an interview published Wednesday that there is a backlash among comedians against forced apologies. “It’s almost like there was this thing where for the last couple years, people had to apologize for saying this and that. It seems like I’m seeing a couple comics going ‘You know what? Enough of this shit. I’m doing...

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — With large sheets of plain plywood blocking public access to the Holy Stairs, one woman lovingly touched a large color photograph of the stairs, made the sign of the cross, lowered her head and prayed. For centuries, the faithful have climbed up the 28 steps in prayer on their knees. But the popular devotion has been put on hold for an entire year, and the tall placard depicting the staircase is all the public can see as a team of Vatican restorers complete the final phase of a 20-year effort to repair the sanctuary of the...

April 19, 2016, 10:20 am Biden: I'm not 'Goofy Uncle Joe' By Jordan Fabian Vice President Biden is not a fan of being labeled “Goofy Uncle Joe.” “No, I'm not comfortable with Goofy Uncle Joe,” he said in an interview with CNBC’s John Harwood. Biden said voters took him seriously when he considered running for president last summer. “And, by the way, the so-called Goofy Uncle Joe — if you notice, I beat every Republican in every poll when they thought I was running,” he said. “You notice that my favorability was higher than anybody that's running for office in...

How can you not love former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee after a tweet like this… Gov. Mike Huckabee @GovMikeHuckabee: "Trump says the chaos in Chicago was a planned attack. But Hillary insists it was a spontaneous reaction to an internet video." This is clever. This joke is simple and yet you didn’t think of it, now did ya? Obviously Huckabee is referring to Hillary’s depiction of the attack on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi that left four Americans dead, while also talking about the rally Trump had to cancel in Chicago this past Friday due to Leftists gone crazy....

A Nevada girl who fought a long legal battle with her school over a pro-life club didn’t just get her club approved, she got her school to pay for it. The Thomas More Society, the religious liberty legal group representing junior Angelique Clark, announced Friday they would drop their lawsuit against Clark County School District in Las Vegas and that the school has agreed to pay $30,000 in attorney fees. The school agreed in September to allow the pro-life club after legal pressure. “We’re pleased that District officials worked so diligently with us to protect the First Amendment rights of...

Public peeing for people with penises is generally no big deal. There’s no sitting involved, no squatting; no dirty toilet seats to deal with and no pulling one’s pants down to one’s ankles. It’s pretty unfair, when you think about it. Jeeeez thanks a lot, anatomy! But if the Malcolm in the Middle theme song taught us anything, it’s that life is unfaaaair. So, in an attempt to even out the playing peeing field for vagina-owners, a company called Stand Up has invented some nifty little contraptions that allow women to piddle without sitting — or, as Stand Up puts...
