The TikTok issue is one of the biggest damned if you do, damned if you don’t problems on America’s agenda. On April 14, 2023, nearly a year ago, Montana became the first state to try to ban TikTok, but a US District Judge put a temporary halt to the ban, saying it “oversteps state power,”

There is a fight in America between those who want Russia to win its loathsome war in Ukraine and those who want Russia to lose. The top cheer leader for a Russian victory is former President Donald Trump. Mr. Trump controls the Republicans in Congress. A bill to give $38 billion to Ukraine has passed
On Tuesday, February 20, at 1:54 pm, an American Airlines flight took off from Albuquerque’s International Sunport headed for Chicago, a three-hour flight away. Roughly half an hour into the flight, a passenger, Emma Ritz, says that a man whose seat was next to the emergency exit “cracked open the window that was protecting the
There are new fears that the war in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel could spill over into a wider conflict. And there is reason to fear that, in the end, the conflict could go nuclear and kill us all. Here’s what’s happened in the last few days. Early on Saturday, December 23, a
The SpaceX Starship has launched its second orbital test flight. Which means that America now is about to have two mega-rockets, two of the biggest rockets ever to take to the skies. One is SpaceX’s Starship. The other is NASA’s Artemis Moon Rocket. How do the two stack up against each other? The Artemis Moon Rocket’s engines generate
Militant extremist Islam is showing its carefully hidden Nazism. Just before the Hamas attack that killed 1,400 Israelis and started the current Hamas War, Mahmoud Abbas the president of the Palestinian Authority, went before the United Nations and gave a speech justifying Adolf Hitler. “These people [Jews] were fought because of…usury,” Abbas said repeating an old
There’s a Muslim phrase you need to know if you’re going to understand the war in Gaza and Israel. It’s a phrase that militant Islamic Jihadists have used from Chechnya to Lebanon: “We love death more than you love life.” Keep that in mind as you watch the latest news on the Israel-Hamas war. Israel
We all know what happened Saturday. Or we think we know. Gaza fired what it said were 5,000 rockets at civilian targets in Israel. And Hamas fighters infiltrated Israel using a massive bulldozer to tear a hole in the smart fence draped with razor wire that separates Gaza from southern Israel. Over 1,500 invaders streamed through. Some of
This is a story of the prizes and the prices of fame. At 8:00 Wednesday morning, September 20th, Donald Trump Jr’s X account proclaimed, “I’m sad to announce, my father Donald Trump has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024.” Then the account burped out a Tweet about Joe Biden complete with a
In 1968 Pope Paul VI established a Global Peace Day. A New Year’s Day on which the Pope gives a speech “reflecting the signs of our times.” Wednesday August 9th, the Vatican put out an announcement about the speech the pope will give at next year’s Peace Day, coming up on January 1st, just four months
The Washington Post ran a headline Wednesday, August 2, saying Donald “Trump has been indicted before. Historians say this time is different.” Why is this time different? From the Democrat point of view, we are at a turning point in American history. The next 458 days, many Democrats feel, will determine whether we have a
Digital IDs are sweeping the world, but are barely seeping into America. This American techno-sluggishness has disturbing implications. We Americans have traditionally led the world with our technologies and our infrastructure. That is no longer the case. Our roadways and airports make us look like a third world country. Even our water and sewage systems are
There’s a reason junk food is called junk. It isn’t good for you. A new small scale study in Sweden, a study with only fifteen experimental subjects, shows something intriguing. When you eat a high fat/high sugar diet, a junk food diet, a strange thing happens to your sleep. You sleep just as long
Is the illustrious scientist, author, visionary, and profit for the people, Howard Bloom, answering the age-old question is there a God? Does humanity have the dynamism to do God’s job and change the cosmos for the better? The poetry in this video is Bloom’s powerful belief and aspiration that mankind really has no choice but
One of the highest figures in the American military called it the most disturbing thing he’d seen in his 52 year career. In 2022, China announced that Beijing would triple its number of nuclear weapons by 2035. The Department of Defense took that announcement seriously. In a recent report on “Military and Security Developments”[i] in China,
In the early morning of Wednesday, March 22nd, China’s dictator for life Xi Jinping left Moscow after three days of meetings with Vladimir Putin. The get-together was calculated to be a move in the step-by-step process of replacing America as the leader of the global order. Replacing America with, you guessed it, China. And with
Twenty years ago in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, four children–Latavia Washington McGee, Shaeed Woodard, Zindell Brown, and Eric Williams–were inseparable friends. According to Zindell Brown’s sister, they stuck together “like glue.” Latavia is now 33 and the mother of six children. When she decided to get her figure in shape with a three to five
In December, Russia’s defense minister announced the permanent expansion of the Russian army to 1.5 million soldiers. That’s 100,000 more than the American army. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s deputy military intelligence chief predicted that Russia will soon draft 500,000 new soldiers, and will ultimately shoot for a two-million-man army. And the Russian independent press source Volya Media
