Congress Has Broad Power to Structure the Military—and It Should Use It
The U.S. Marine Corps Honor Guard marches past the U.S. Capitol Building, Jan. 15, 2017. (Source: Defense Department Photo by Air Force Staff Sgt. Sean Martin) Could Congress require that the secretary of defense, rather than the president alone, approve a nuclear weapons launch? Could it require that a particular Senate-confirmed officer command troops in a certain theater, even if the president would rather have some other officer do the job? Could it bar the president, even in wartime, from removing a top general or admiral without cause, thereby preventing him from selecting s... more »

The Covid Scam: People - TAKE OFF YOUR STUPID FILTHY MASKS!...
* now.* While out running errands yesterday, I was shocked to still see people with filthy rags tied on their faces. Some of the rags were just that - rags flapping in the breeze doing absolutely nothing but making the person wearing it look stupid. At the ATT store, where they no longer ask you to put on a mask of oppression, the staff is still wearing them. I had a bit of a wait and was able to witness the staff touching, adjusting, pulling it down and then up (sort of like a cat at a door), approximately every minute or two. I saw little children in many stores with rags tied... more »

There were just 2 in May, but then Iraq and the United States opened talks over a new security agreement which Iran objected to and incidents suddenly jumped to 8 in June, 12 in July, topped off by 23 in August when the Prime Minister went to Washington D.C. and Tehran wanted to emba... more »

Childhood Influenza vs. Childhood COVID - Putting Schooling During the Pandemic Into Perspective
With most Western nations, particularly the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, wringing their hands about sending children back to school in September, a recent interview with Dr. Robert Redfield, Direct of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is most definitely an eye-opener. The interview with Dr. Redfield first appeared on The Buck website and was recorded on July 14, 2020.

Portland rioters cheer the murder of a Trump supporter
On Twitter #Trumpriots is the latest big lie. Yesterday a man who attended a peaceful conservative rally in Portland was murdered.

We can take out the trash on our own!” a woman holding a bullhorn shouted at an antifa gathering.“I am not sad that a f***ing Fascist died tonight,”* You can see why Democrats like her want to defund the police. With no police around she and her ilk can murder their political opponents with impunity. They can murder you with impunity. Of course Joe Biden w... more »

Governor Newsom says he's responsible for the blackouts in California
Unlike other residents of other States Californians can't count on electricity; it's like a third world country. That's primarily because the Democrats who run California have pushed an ideological agenda of purging energy sources that can be counted on, natural gas, and replacing them with energy sources, wind and solar, that depend on certain environmental conditions. Newsom's comment on the current black outs was: *“Let me crystal clear we failed to predict and plan these shortages.”* But as with Cuomo forcing nursing homes to take COVID19 patients Newsom's admission of being re... more »

Covid19 and demons.
Every news website I pull up from Washington Post to Ohio State starts and ends with Covid19 stories. You don't have to read too many of these to see there are other motives than just getting control of a serious world-wide health problem. The desire to save lives may have been a motivation at the beginning when little was known about transmission or treatment, but now it's about power. This reminds me of some Christians' obsession with demons. Jesus cast out demons, and the Bible has a lot to say about demonic forces. We should accord demonic forces some respect, but not honor. ... more »

One Of The Hardest Things To Do Is Telling Children A Loved One Has Died
At times of grief, it is hard to tell a child or even, for that matter, any loved one that someone has died. At times like these, people try to keep it together and stay strong for everyone around them. Revealing to children that a parent or grandparent has passed over, or even worse case is when they have witnessed their passing. No words can console them or take away the emotions and heartbreaking memories of that person. Should the children see you trying to resuscitate the person, they still pass away after all the effort taken to revive them, can be very traumatic. Those child... more »
