Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 11 hours ago
Science and technology do not possess the power to refute God and religion. This is because a belief in God and religion is not the mark of an irrational, uneducated, and naive mind, as the atheists claim. The religious people are often more well-read, rational, philosophical, and brilliant than those who reject religious belief. To prove the existence of their God, many religious thinkers have developed philosophical (theological) theories which are brilliant because they are rationally argued. People believe in God because they are driven by a biological instinct to transcend the...

Whenever there is that much money to be made, drug dealers will shoot each other over the profit but that's not all. The rapes, assaults and robberies always go up wherever illicit drugs are sold.

*Joe Biden IRS, * Sen. Charles Grassley, a Republican from Iowa and the longest-serving Republican in the Senate, wrote an op-ed in the Des Moines Register earlier this month arguing that, as the headline stated, “we can root out tax cheats without breaking the bank.” President Biden has proposed to give $80 billion to the IRS in order to fight tax evasion and give the agency more power to stop it. According to CNBC, the proposal would “beef up IRS staffing and improve technology,” and possibly bring in more revenue than what is being spent on the enforcement. The proposal is par...

John Williams of Shadowstats on potential hyperinflation
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 13 hours ago
We've met John Williams in these pages many times before, albeit indirectly. He runs Shadowstats, which calculates official economic statistics according to traditional norms rather than the politically-correctified mumbo-jumbo so beloved of bureaucrats and their political masters. He's long pointed out that the official inflation rate grossly undercalculates the actual rise in prices "on the street". In a recent interview with USAWatchdog, he looked at current economic developments with his usual incisive analysis. Bold, underlined text is my emphasis. Economist John Will...

A Political Animal

Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy is a political animal -- a totally political animal. Michelle Cottle writes: Last week, he set heads shaking by announcing his opposition to the bill establishing a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 sacking of the U.S. Capitol. The legislative negotiations had been led on the Republican side, reportedly at Mr. McCarthy’s explicit request, by Representative John Katko of New York.

Russian and Pakistani Paratroopers' Idea of a Unique Airborne Assault Training Exercise: Skydiving without Parachutes

*Kimo Gandall* *Afghanistan, Middle East* Biden’s advisors would do well to realize that the war in Afghanistan—one with the high aims at eliminating an ideology of evil and bringing democracy—has yielded “zilch.” Withdrawal is the only way out. In 1972, a scribble on a private memo on the Vietnam War described President Richard Nixon’s private assessment for ten years of American air superiority in South East Asia: “The result = Zilch.” Fast forward to 2020, and Afghanistan offers a painful renewal of the American tradition for military entanglement.
