Ira Schab, a 101-year-old survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor, is headed to Hawaii to join the dwindling number of servicemen who were on active duty that December 7, 1941, as they mark the 80th anniversary of the attack. For Schab, his journey is a gift of love from his family and hundreds of supporters.
“Lacking organizations with bigger pockets, I can’t afford to get my Pop over there,” Kimberlee Heinrichs wrote on her GoFundMe page. “This fundraiser will cover flights, hotel, car, food for Ike and two family caregivers to keep him safe and be honored at the Pearl Harbor Anniversary ceremonies.”
When Alec Baldwin gave his tearful “don’t look at me” interview on ABC this week, he made any number of comments that seemed odd for a person who is still part of an investigation into the death of Halyna Hutchins. Perhaps one of the strangest, however, came when he told George Stephanopoulos that he had heard from “people in the know” that he was “highly unlikely” to face criminal charges over the shooting. That interview clearly caught the attention of Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies, who is in charge of investigating the shooting. She took the rather unusual step of giving a statement to the press on the subject,
Last week’s Supreme Court oral arguments sparked a glimmer of hope on left, with the hope being to use a possible overturning of Roe v. Wade as a wedge issue in 2022 to drive turnout. But while signs are certainly pointing toward the “right” to abortion being gutted, would such an event really represent a reset for the coming election?
Color me extremely skeptical that the electorate is that malleable at this point, and I’m apparently not the only one throwing cold water on the idea. Politico spoke to several Democrat strategists who not only think the abortion issue isn’t a winner for them, but that they should actually avoid
As I was waiting for my flight to be de-iced Saturday before takeoff, a few folks texted me that CNN had terminated Chris Cuomo’s employment, converting his suspension into a permanent arrangement.
This, of course, was no surprise, and probably the right decision. But unsurprisingly, CNN has handled the situation poorly throughout.
The suspension and termination followed news that Cuomo had participated in a fraternal love-fest with his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. To promote a concocted image of effectiveness during the COVID-19 pandemic — not to mention his sexual harassment scandal — throughout last year, the elder Cuomo frequently appeared
The Clinton presidential campaign’s fabrication of the Russia hoax is the dirtiest trick in American political history. Beginning with Glenn Simpson/Fusion GPS and the Perkins Coie law firm, it enlisted co-conspirators in the Obama Department of Justice, the FBI, and the mainstream media. The principals are not only still at large, they have achieved high office, wealth, riches, and Pulitzer Prizes. They will never be brought to justice. They won’t even break a sweat.
We were never meant to be clued in. As the veil of the fraud was pierced by Rep. Devin Nunes and others including, most recently, John Durham, we now have a good handle on the con.
The family of Oxford school shooting victim Tate Myre took the field for the coin toss at the Big Ten Championship game on Saturday as the Michigan Wolverines faced the Iowa Hawkeyes.Parents Buck and Sheri Myre and their sons, Trent and Ty, took the field wearing Oxford High School t-shirts and school hats as they observed the coin toss for the weekend’s big game, according to the Detroit News.They were on the field to commemorate the life of their son, Tate, who was a student at Oxford High School in Michigan, and who lost his life bravely attempting to disarm sophomore Ethan Crumbley before losing his life to Crumbley’s assault.
Kamala Harris has been branded a 'bully' who inflicted 'constant-soul destroying criticism' on her office staff in a damaging expose by a liberal newspaper.The Washington Post piece - a result of interviews with 18 people connected to the VP - also alleges that she'd fail to read briefings they'd prepared, only to turn on them if she was subsequently criticized for being unprepared. The claims from staff who worked for Harris were published amid confirmed departures of two high level staffers, with two others who are said to be heading for the door too.
After the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson, a case that could overturn or at least weaken Roe v. Wade, it was hardly surprising that the Sunday talk shows would discuss abortion. This case examines previability abortion bans, specifically Mississippi's Gestational Age Act, which bans most abortions after 15 weeks.Gov. Tate Reeves (R-MS), who did an admirable job last week while on NBC's "Meet the Press," appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" this Sunday. The governor mentioned the appropriate talking points, such as the humanity of unborn children and the tragedy of the 62 million abortions

Former Senator David Perdue is about to throw his hat into the ring for the Republican primary race for the nomination to represent the GOP in the November 2022 elections. The official announcement will come tomorrow, but today, his campaign has given a heads-up to the media. The winner of the GOP primary will face the incumbent Democrat governor Stacey “Tank” Abrams.
From my point of view, this can best be characterized as “The Revenge of Trump Continues.” Perdue lost his 2020 reelection bid to Democrat Jon Ossoff.
The White House Christmas decorations include six stockings—one for each of the Biden grandchildren—hanging over the fireplace. But Joe Biden actually has seven grandkids. “The decorated State Dining Room celebrated the ‘Gift of Family’ the White House said, and the six stockings hanging over the fireplace were for Naomi, 27, Finnegan, 21, Maisy, 20, Natalie, 17, and Robert Hunter Biden II, 15, and little Beau, 1, according to the ‘Today’ show,” reports the New York Post. But, Biden’s 3-year-old granddaughter, Navy Jones Roberts, did not get a stocking. Navy is the illegitimate daughter of Joe’s crack-smoking artist son Hunter Biden
GREELEY, Colo. — A Walmart store in Colorado was evacuated after a shoplifter deployed bear spray against several employees, police said Sunday. Officers responded to the Greeley Wal-Mart Sunday afternoon after receiving multiple reports about bear spray being deployed. Workers had tried to detain a male shoplifter but he allegedly assaulted them, spayed them with the bear spray and then fled in a vehicle prior to the arrival of police. Emergency crews treated at least five people for exposure to bear spray, which can painfully irritate a person’s eyes, skin and lungs. The store was evacuated as a safety precaution
Bob Dole didn’t die when a German mortar shell blew him into the crisp spring air of the Italian mountains in 1944, tearing apart his right side. He didn’t die when he lay in a foxhole there for nine hours, presumed dead.
He did die 77 years later on Sunday, at the age of 98, peacefully in his sleep in the Watergate apartment complex where he’s long lived with wife Elizabeth. Presumably from the Stage 4 lung cancer he announced earlier this year. During those intervening years, this Kansas prairie boy who would be the last member of the Greatest Generation to seek the presidency, lived a life of

Critical Race Theory Serves to Usher in

Communist Agenda in America, Says Philosophy Professor replies
Critical race theory has become the philosophic foundation supporting a Marxist communist agenda sweeping American society, according to philosophy professor Jason Hill.
Acting as racial managers or agents for African Americans, practitioners of critical race theory (CRT) are after power and aim to “destroy all those foundational values, all those codified values, and principles that we use in times of crisis,” Hill said in a recent interview with Epoch TV’s “American Thought Leaders” program.
Critical race theorists “want to first erase personal identity, then erase history, erase those codified values to usher in a new, what I would call, Marxist communist agenda in our society,” he added.

There are ‘higher interests’ at play here. It is driven rather by fear that the window for implementing its series of ‘transitions’ in the U.S. and Europe is closing.

WASHINGTON — As Stacey Abrams builds her second gubernatorial campaign in four years, she is looking at a Georgia electorate that is far larger, younger and less white than the one that handed her a narrow defeat last time around, according to an analysis her aides provided exclusively to NBC News. That's one reason Abrams is confident that the result will be different this time, despite a national political wind that has shifted to Republicans' backs following the election of Joe Biden to the presidency in 2020 and Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock to the Senate in January.

The nuclear family has always been the backbone of American liberty and prosperity. However, the latest information from the Census Bureau shows that the nuclear family, if not dead, is on life support. Only the smallest fraction of American children are being raised in traditional two-parent households.
Leftists have been waging relentless war on the nuclear family for decades in ways big and small. The big ways began in the 1960s with women’s liberation and no-fault divorce. While both of those may have relieved women from desperately bad marriages and dead-end jobs, they also served to take women out of their role as homemaker and the child’s primary teacher, often transferring

We write a lot here about the rambling incoherence and odd staring often displayed by President Biden during scripted press conferences and other public appearances he makes where his handlers frequently intervene in bizarre ways and sometimes even upstage him.And while that’s obviously very concerning to many Americans when one considers the fact that he is the leader of the free world, it’s equally worrying when it comes from the second person in the presidential line of succession – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.Pelosi has had her share of moments in front of the cameras that have caused people to do double takes out of either concern or outright shock, but
The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Sunday that public health officials don’t yet know how well COVID-19 vaccines will work against the omicron variant. “We know it has many mutations, more mutations than prior variants, and many of those mutations have been associated with more transmissible variants with evasion of some of our therapeutics and potentially invasion—evasion of some of our immunity, and that’s what we’re watching really carefully,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky said on ABC’s “This Week.” “What we don’t yet know is how transmissible it will be, how well our vaccines will work, whether it will lead to more severe disease.”

What a difference a year makes—especially when there is a president in exile.

In many instances, the rooms are haphazardly outfitted. In some instances, it is not even clear the decorations celebrate Christmas. The theme this year, allegedly, is “Gifts from the Heart” and “small acts of kindness.”

Now gas prices have skyrocketed, with Hoosiers paying 68% more at the pump compared to this day last year. High energy costs hurt everyone and are a direct result of the mindless decisions made by Joe Biden. Nothing to argue with here, except for one thing: Maybe the Biden administration’s decisions were not “mindless.” Maybe they’re just the opposite: Maybe they’re all part of a plan—a plan, as Joe Biden said in 2020, to “fundamentally transform

Some time ago, P.J. O’Rourke was both prescient and witty when he observed:
"Liberals have invented whole college majors -- psychology, sociology and women's studies -- to prove that nothing is anybody's fault."
This week we have more evidence that nothing is anybody’s fault although the reasons for that may include even more than those P.J. named. Narcissistic celebrities, mendacious media and politicians, and blinkered prosecutors and Soros-funded district attorneys like Milwaukee County’s John Chisolm and San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin are also part of the mix. Stupid voters aren’t off the hook in my estimation either.

Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank has hilariously claimed that the media is harder on Joe Biden than they were on Trump.

When President Donald Trump was in office, Joe Biden took every effort to blame all the COVID deaths on him.
But now that Biden is in office and there have been more deaths under Biden than there were under Trump, even with vaccines and treatments, Biden and the media are strangely silent about those numbers. Biden is, of course, not taking any responsibility for those numbers.

It is also a steep drop from 56 percent in February 2021.
