It’s Not Just the FBI: The IRS goes into ‘Beast Mode’

We have seen for some time how off-the-rails the FBI has become, a danger to a free society. More and more evidence now shows it’s not just the FBI. Every federal employee with a badge and gun seems to think he’s a law unto himself. This week the spotlight is on the IRS, and the Congress has to step up and rein the agency in. While Matt Taibbi was testifying before Congress on the administration’s extensive censoring of social media content, the IRS appeared at his door, ostensibly to question him about his taxes, but obviously to intimidate him for showing up government censorship.

De-Dollarization 'Could Happen Much Quicker Than Most Think'

De-dollarization could happen much quicker than most people think, Michael Goddard, president of the Netley Group, said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPEIF). SPIEF 2023 entered day two on Thursday, and the unique global economic and business event focused on de-dollarization – a buzzword of late among countries seeking to ditch the hegemony of the American greenback. The BRICS group of countries has been spearheading the movement. A common currency is one of the bold steps being mulled over among other tools that the bloc, which unites the world’s largest developing economies — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has at its disposal to ...
To Many Americans, It Already Feels Like We Are in a Deep Recession

Are you deeply struggling right now? If so, I want you to know that you are not alone. The things that I am about to share with you are not meant to be depressing. Rather, I hope that you will be encouraged to see that there are countless others in the exact same boat. Over the past few years, the cost of living has been rising much faster than paychecks have, and this has put enormous financial pressure on millions of American families. In some cases, families are dealing with extreme financial stress even though both parents are working good jobs. Virtually everything has become substantially more expensive, and so our money is not going nearly as far as it once did. Unfortunately, the ...

The Perils of Modern Feminism

Perhaps no “-ism” has harmed our society more grievously than feminism since it got hijacked in the late 1960s by radical secular leftists like Gloria Steinem who popularized Irina Dunn’s declaration that “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.” The original feminist goal of achieving equal rights for women was reached in the 1970s, and American women are the planet’s most powerful and free: legally, educationally, economically, and politically – and this is a wonderful achievement.

Daniel Ellsberg was one of history’s most consequential figures

0 Comments
In All the President’s Men, the classic film on the downfall of President Richard Nixon, the name “Daniel Ellsberg” is not uttered once. And what a shame that is. Because for all the journalistic heroics of Woodward and Bernstein, it’s possible that there was no one more responsible for the only resignation of a president in American history than Daniel Ellsberg. Ellsberg, the legendary Pentagon Papers whistleblower, passionate anti- nuclear activist and staunch press freedom advocate, passed away at the age of 92 on Friday. History should remember him as one of the 20th century’s most consequential figures. But we should also be reminded that his own story is also ...

Barr says Trump is a 'troubled man' who lied to the Justice Department and deserves to be prosecuted
Post Date: 2023-06-19 18:01:16 by Charles_Byrd

Up until the 2020 election, former Attorney General William Barr was seen as the epitome of a Republican loyalist, one who "distorted" the findings of Robert Mueller's Russia probe, in the words of one federal judge, and who spent the lead-up to the presidential vote casting doubt on the integrity of mail-in ballots. But in an appearance Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation," Barr — who rejected former President Donald Trump's false claims of voter fraud before resigning from office in December 2020 — accused his former boss and the Republican frontrunner of being a "consummate narcissist" and a "troubled man" who deserves to be ...

The Justice Department’s massive and complex legal case against Donald Trump is likely to dog the former president well into the 2024 presidential contest. The thorny issues raised in the classified documents battle, combined with Trump’s penchant for aggressively challenging suits, suggests a long-term fight that may not even end before Election Day next year.

A federal magistrate judge Monday agreed to a motion from the Justice Department to block former President Trump from disclosing information relating to the Mar-a-Lago case, after prosecutors said the investigation remains ongoing.

United Nations Policy Brief Talks of a Digital ID Linked To Your Bank Account

The United Nations – or at least some in the United Nations effectively pulling the strings – must feel they are falling behind with pushing controversial ideas like Digital ID compared to the likes of the World Economic Forum (WEF) – even if they’re pushing in the same direction. And now we have the UN making a case of not only introducing Digital IDs, but also making sure central authorities link them with people’s bank or mobile bank accounts. Click for Full Text!

When Rev.

In Touch is not the first ministry to do so. Other prominent ministries have continued for years, even decades, after their founders’ deaths, including, to name a few, Thru the Bible with J.

Charles Blow is sounding the alarm bells again. According to the New York Times columnist, we are under a “state of emergency for L.G.B.T.Q. people.” He cites the Human Rights Campaign’s announcement to the same effect, which is based on the recent passage of laws such as those against gender-reassignment surgery for minors and the use of preferred pronouns in public schools.

When the Christian takes up his work, he does so in a Christian way; he does it after the manner of Christ. Our daily work is our sacrifice of praise, our faithful response to the free gift of salvation. Where men answer the call to shepherd, preach, and serve at the altar, they imitate and confess Christ. But our Lord models many other works as well. Where the people of God teach, wash, and tend the sick, they imitate and confess Christ. Where the people of God listen, obey, and bear burdens, they imitate and confess Christ. Where the people of God fish, plant, and build, they imitate and confess Christ. You know what this is: the doctrine of vocation. You know it well because it is a ...

Robert Bowers was found guilty by a jury on all charges Friday after he went to a Jewish synagogue in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and shot 11 people to death in 2018, according to ABC News. Bowers tried to negotiate with prosecutors to take the death penalty off the table if he pleaded guilty but was denied, according to ABC News. The trial lasted for several weeks but it only took the jury less than a day to issue a guilty verdict on all 63 charges for killing 11 people at the Tree of Life Synagogue. Click for Full Text!

With the war in Ukraine raging, and Putin threatening to use nuclear weapons, the world is moving ever closer to complete annihilation. According to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists website, "This year, the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moves the hands of the Doomsday Clock forward, largely (though not exclusively) because of the mounting dangers of the war in Ukraine. The Clock now stands at 90 seconds to midnight – the closest to global catastrophe it has ever been. The war in Ukraine may enter a second horrifying year, with both sides convinced they can win.
