National Public Radio is liberal. This isn't a surprise.

NPR is liberal. I suspect they don't even know they are liberal. The thin veil over National Public Radio’s commitment to objective journalism has been lifted. NPR has announced a new ethics policy that allows its journalists to “participate in activities that advocate for ‘the freedom and dignity of human beings’ on both social media and in real life.”

Kamala has reached her level of incompetence

NPR's Brilliant Self-Own. National Public Radio complains about a media figure who tells people "what their opinions should be" and uses political "buzzwords"

There is a management theory called the "Peter Principle", which says that people are promoted until they reach a level beyond their level of competence, where they stop advancing.  This article says that Kamala Harris has reached that level and will not advance further.

The Search for the Elusive White Nationalists and Supremacists in the Church. The church, we’re being told, is being overrun with white, Christian nationalists and white supremacists! And, these nationalists and supremacists are demanding fealty to – you knew it was coming – Donald J. Trump! Some claim that “It’s a “war” for the faith, tearing the universal church apart!”

Why do American liberals love Cuba’s Communist dictatorship. By any sane reckoning, Fidel Castro was an utter disgrace. And yet American liberals, as well as some Europeans, have never been able to let go

American Booksellers Association: ‘We’re Book Banners — But For The Left’. The book is a best seller. This kind of reaction is just going to sell more books. They apparently don't know about the Barbara Streisand Effect.

There was a time-bomb quietly ticking away in Biden’s GHQ, and how much damage it would do upon detonation largely depended upon the success of this third presidential quest. His media sycophants employed their best suppressive talents to delay the explosion until after his election, but now that Joe has reached the pinnacle of his political career, it appears they can no longer prevent it from finally blowing.

Did you know that black people are not going to be allowed to vote in America anymore? At least in states controlled by Republicans. Sounds a bit unlikely, but that’s a conclusion you might have come to if you took seriously what President Joe Biden was saying in Philadelphia Tuesday.

The Undergrad Who Found China's Nuclear Arsenal. A couple of weeks ago, word arrived that 120 new missile silos had been discovered in the desert of Northern China.

Democrats Say California Is Model For Climate Action But Its Blackouts Say Otherwise. "People wonder how we made it through the heat wave of 2006,” “The answer is that there was a lot more generating capacity in 2006 than in 2020.... We had San Onofre [nuclear plant] of 2,200 MW, and a number of other plants, totaling thousands of MW not there today."

Surprising from the reliably liberal Washington Post. Why are unions and Democrats so opposed to giving poor children a choice in schooling?

Now everyone’s coming back in to the office, we’ve upgraded our lanyards so we all know where we’re comfortable.

Not only did he win Georgia, he won Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania as well. Pennsylvania’s forensic audit will confirm much of what we knew in November and December.

All of Biden's stated reasons for running for president have turned to dust.

Energy company seeking $15 billion in damages over President Joe Biden’s canceling the Keystone XL pipeline project.

Seems right. Energy company TC Energy has said it’s seeking $15 billion in damages from the United States government over President Joe Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline project. In a statement on July 2, the Canada-based company said it had filed a notice of intent with the State Department to begin a legacy North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) claim under the U.S.–Mexico–Canada Agreement. 

Indian Point Energy Center was a three-unit nuclear power plant station located in Buchanan, New York, just south of Peekskill. The facility has permanently ceased power operations as of April 30, 2021. Before its closure, the station's two operating reactors generated about 2,000 megawatts (MWe) of electrical power. As a result of the shutdown and closure of the plant, the carbon-free power generated by the plant was replaced by power generated by carbon-producing fossil fuels.

Kamala Harris’ office rife with dissent

Breakfast with J.D. Vance, Anti-Trump Author Turned Pro-Trump Candidate

Donald Trump became the political vehicle for the American people’s resentment of an overweening, corrupt ruling class.

Americans elected Trump to preserve freedoms and prosperity against the encroachments of that class.

The infrastructure bill is putting money in the wrong places

The infrastructure bill is putting money in the wrong places. Biden has proposed a policy that, by some estimates, would allocate $165 billion for public transit (including urban rail — subways, light rail, and commuter rail) against only $115 billion to fix and modernize roads and bridges. Transit, which accounts for about 1 percent of overall urban and rural ground transportation, would receive nearly 60 percent of the money.

One of the most elementary lessons of economics is that incentives matter. You’d hardly think this needs demonstrating, but apparently even the Wall Street Journal‘s news pages struggle with basic economics. Today the Journal reports that—lo and behold!—job growth is rising faster in states that have ended lavish unemployment bonus payments.

The president of the Champlain South Towers condo association told residents in April their building was in desperate disrepair and urged them to pay the $15 million in assessments needed to fix structural problems, in a letter reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Paul the Apostle made four major missionary journeys around the ancient Mediterranean world sharing the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who he claimed to have seen and talked to during that famous encounter on the road to Damascus a year or so after the crucifixion. In the decades thereafter in the course of his travels, Paul was in constant danger, from man, beast and the elements. And yet he kept going, overcoming every obstacle and being the main missionary catalyst of a spiritual movement that literally changed the world. Would You Suffer Years of Extreme Pain, Hardship For A Lie?

President Joe Biden delivered an infamous gun control speech last week, claiming that Americans “need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons” if they want to restrain government tyranny. Yet he also used a flat-out lie to justify his gun control agenda — a lie that led even The Washington Post to deliver Biden a scathing rebuke. The Washington Post‘s Glenn Kessler fact-checked this statement, giving Biden a whopping Four Pinocchios.
