In his half-century in national politics, Joe Biden has committed more than his fair share of gaffes. Wednesday, he confused Pearl Harbor Day, Dec. 7, 1941, with D-Day, June 6, 1944.
The more serious recent gaffe, a beaut, came at the close of a recent contentious interview with black activist Charlamagne tha God.
Don't listen to White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany's predictable critics. The level of vitriol the leftist media hurls at her daily -- during and apart from the press briefings -- conclusively proves she is doing a superb job.
Liberal journalists whip their long knives in her direction and seem shocked she doesn't grovel. They've been savaging her since her first press conference on May 1. No one with the audacity to work for President Donald Trump deserves a second's worth of honeymoon.
Twenty-three House Republicans and four constituents filed a lawsuit on Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-NY) to block her proxy voting efforts. This came after the House voted 217-189 mostly along party lines to change the House rules allowing members to choose another member to vote for them.
Authorities in India say the nation is facing its worst swarm of locust on record, amid the coronavirus pandemic.
India's Locust Warning Organization said at least ten swarms of up to 80 million locusts had made their way through India, destroying crops.
Bob Jones University President Steve Pettit announced today that BJU is adjusting its fall schedule to finish first semester prior to Thanksgiving.
In a video announcement sent to students, parents, faculty and staff, Pettit announced classes will begin Tuesday, Aug. 18 and that final exams would end on Tuesday, Nov. 24. To accomplish this, BJU will not observe Labor Day or have a fall break this year.
If war is coming to outer space, then the United States is late to the battlefield. But, its recently unveiled Space Force is already changing the ground rules in the Middle East.
Look out. An "army of contact tracers" is about to be unleashed on America. Corporations, political lobbyists and government bureaucracies all win. Privacy, freedom and family autonomy all lose. Big time.
Tyranny thrives on fear, and fear is usually based in large part on ignorance. We fear the things we don’t understand and the things we can’t see. When it comes to the current pandemic, we can’t see the pathogen, and, generally, most people don’t understand it. Moreover, most people don’t understand how a normal human immune system works and responds to a bacterial or viral invader. Because of this fear and lack of knowledge, opportunistic politicians have seized on the chance to impose ever more ridiculous restrictions on human activity. And because people are afraid of what they don’t understand, a compliant populace has rolled over to the imposition of authoritarian rule. Safety at all cost, from the phantom pathogen, is being used to wage war on the rights of the people.
One trillion dollars' worth of food wasted globally each year, reveals new report for World Hunger Day, May 28
WILLS POINT, Texas -- It's estimated that nine million people will die in a coronavirus-worsened 'scandal of starvation' this year, according to a new report today marking World Hunger Day -- an annual awareness event -- on May 28.
Is the U.S. up for a second Cold War -- this time with China?
What makes the question newly relevant is that Xi Jinping's China suddenly appears eager for a showdown with the United States for long-term supremacy in the Asia-Pacific and the world.
With the U.S. consumed by the coronavirus pandemic that has killed 100,000 Americans and crashed our economy to depths not seen since the Great Depression, China's dictator seems to be making his move.

Houses of Worship Must Coalesce Resources and Efforts Now to Prepare for Reopening.
Responsible prevention practices are essential for a trouble-free opening of all houses of worship, a multi-faith coalition of religious leaders state.
WASHINGTON -- After the White House recently called for governors to classify houses of worship as "essential" and permit them to reopen, religious leaders from the International Multi-Faith Coalition (The IMFC) urge responsible adoption of guidelines to ensure the physical as well as the spiritual health of those they serve.
“I’ll be damned if I’ll surrender.”
The battles of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in February 1862 were the first two significant victories for the Union. They also demonstrated an important Union strategy that many believe was the ultimate key to Union defeat of Confederate resistance. They set out to dominate the water transportation lifelines critical to the Southern economy and military defense. They were eventually able to dominate these critical arteries with a “Brown Water Navy” of gunboats. The South had few such resources to oppose them. Fort Henry was on the Tennessee River in west-middle Tennessee near the Kentucky border. Fort Donelson was about 12 miles to the east on the Cumberland River. The commander of Fort Henry was West Point graduate and engineering inspector Brigadier General Lloyd Tilghman, from Paducah, Kentucky. Tilghman had realized that both forts Henry and Donelson were defective defensive positions but put up a valiant battle before surrendering to a Union siege on February 6, 1862. Meanwhile he had secretly moved most of his of his troops to Fort Donelson.
As a Christian, I realize that Planet Earth will never experience true “freedom” until our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Messiah, returns to set up His Kingdom. That goes for our troubled country, also. But until that blessed day we as imperfect human beings must live with an imperfect, or incomplete, concept of freedom—of the political and social kind—in terms that our finite minds can grasp. If you’ve read my columns in the past, you know that I discuss the concepts of freedom, liberty, and responsibility quite often. So please indulge me as once again I plunge into the “nostalgia” of the past—a time when these concepts were better understood, more highly treasured, fiercely defended, and discussed with peers who believed in those same values. Perhaps some of you, like me, are still around to pass some of these valuable concepts to younger generations, who are learning, or soon will be, the life lesson that FREEDOM IS NOT FREE, NOR WILL IT EVER BE SO!
America will make a decision this November (2020) whether or not she wishes to remain the “home of the brave and the land of the free.”
I’m sure the Democrats say they will insure this home of the brave and the free if you elect them. I’m just as sure that if you do elect them you will never see another free election in this nation. For many years we have watched as both political parties worked to grant more and more power to the federal government, and as silently and unobtrusively as possible removed from we-the-people one freedom after another; passing laws they said were for our benefit. And if they couldn’t get a law passed they would introduce some new regulations to accomplish their goal.
Is it important to have racial or sexual diversity in our fight against the COVID-19 pandemic? Heather Mac Donald suggests that some think it might be in her City Journal article "Should Identity Politics Dictate Vaccine Research?" The funding priorities of the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control suggests that they think diversity is an important input in making headway in the fight against the coronavirus. On April 20, NIH and CDC announced the availability of grants to increase the "diversity" of biomedical research labs.
Planned Parenthood is no "small" business. In 2018, America's hulk of an abortion provider reported net assets of $2.2 billion -- so the idea that they would be competing for stimulus loans is absurd. And yet, to the shock of people up and down East Capitol Street, that's exactly what dozens of its affiliates did. Even Republicans, who've come to expect this kind of larceny from Planned Parenthood, have a hard time believing it. While mom and pop shops struggle to survive, the Democrats' favorite abortion tycoon managed to rip off $80 million from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). And the Trump administration wants it back. Now.
The big coronavirus debate is between blaming President Donald Trump and blaming China for the pandemic. The usual suspects are lined up on each side. To anybody who pauses to think for a second, it's clear the two options are not mutually exclusive. But that's still how the debate is playing out in the press.
Fox News reported early on Wednesday, May 20th that Planned Parenthood “affiliates applied for and received a total of $80 million in loans from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).” As you may recall, legislators created the PPP in the CARES Act with a goal to provide small business capital to stay afloat. The program had to be refunded after only a couple of weeks.
ATLANTA -- A global livestream memorial service will honor the life of Christian evangelist and apologist Ravi Zacharias, who died on May 19, at age 74, after a brief battle with cancer. The celebration of Zacharias's life and legacy will be streamed live at RZIM.org/RaviMemorial on May 29 at 11 a.m. ET.
Three short months ago, I received an encouraging text from my friend Ravi Zacharias. Now, as if in a blink of an eye, he has passed away. Along with countless thousands, I grieve.
When he wrote, he was reeling from excruciating back pain but wholly unaware of the cancer diagnosis that would soon follow. Despite his suffering and his onerous schedule, he shared that he was praying for my brother, Rush, who had just been diagnosed with cancer.
When a Wall Street Journal editorial warned this week against any precipitous U.S. withdrawal that might imperil our gains in Afghanistan, an exasperated President Trump shot back:
"Could someone please explain to them that we have been there for 19 years. ... and except at the beginning, we never really fought to win."
Is that true? Did we "never really" fight to win during our 19-year war in Afghanistan, except when we first ousted the Taliban in 2001?
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Capitol Resource Institute has discovered that a Sacramento-area Parent Teacher Association (PTA) has contracted with Planned Parenthood to teach sexual education to elementary school students.
The local PTA chapter hides their payments to Planned Parenthood by listing the classes-- called "puberty talks" -- under "assemblies" in their annual budget. These assemblies have taken place during the last two school years and are planned for the 2020-21 school year as well.
WICHITA, Kan. -- Operation Rescue has joined with other national pro-life leaders, who personally knew Norma McCorvey, in signing an open letter to the FX filmmakers who produced a documentary on Norma's life called "AKA Jane Roe."
We maintain that media allegations that Norma McCorvey was paid to lie about being pro-life are completely false. We urge everyone who watches the production to do so with a healthy amount of skepticism in this day of agenda-driven "Fake News."
