Younger Voters Don’t Know Real, Decisive Victory on the World Stage

Politics & Policy

[ad_1] Donald Trump is the undisputed king of the Republican Party. Earlier this month, Trump exacted revenge on Indiana state senators who had opposed his call to redistrict the Hoosier State; his endorsees won a majority of races against incumbents. Then Trump successfully nuked Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) from political life, relegating the incumbent to a shocking third place in his statewide primary. And the next Tuesday, Trump-endorsed candidates across the nation won every primary race — 37 victories and zero defeats. Overall, Trump’s approval rating among members of his own party sits around 81% — down from last year but…

Who Is The District Court Judge Who Was Privately Reprimanded For Having Loud Sex In Her Chambers With A Law Enforcement Officer From Her District?

Political Spin

[ad_1] On February 11, the Judicial Council of the Eleventh Circuit published an order with remarkable conclusions: a federal district court judge somewhere in the Eleventh Circuit “engag[ed] in an extramarital affair with a law enforcement officer and, in the course of the affair, having sexual intercourse in the Subject Judge’s office during work hours and within hearing distance of the judge’s clerks.” Ultimately, however, the Council issues a private reprimand, rather than a public reprimand. The identity of the judge is not disclosed. But many of the clues in the memorandum point to a particular judge. First, we can…

The Alchemist in Your Backyard: BBC’s Small Prophets (Review)

Paranormal & Mysteries

[ad_1] When it comes to TV shows, there are certain themes that have been constantly revisited over the years: friends living together, family dynamics, office antics, school angst, etcetera. Even the sci-fi concept of the friendly space alien living secretly with an average family in suburbia has been shown a couple of times (My Favorite Martian, Mork & Mindy, Alf). But it’s not every time when you stumble upon a TV show centered around an obscure esoteric topic most people have never really paid any attention to: Alchemy. Which is exactly what Mckenzie Crook accomplished with Small Prophets, the BBC…

Time Is Running Out: Why You Must Prepare Now

Conspiracy Theories

[ad_1] There’s a Window of Opportunity to Get Prepared, but It’s Closing Fast In talking with many of my listeners and reading user feedback, it’s clear that people sense the ground shifting beneath their feet. They know the world is no longer stable, and they are desperate for guidance. Here’s why this matters: I believe we are running out of time for civilization as we know it to function. The signs are everywhere, from the collapsing economic system to the deliberate destruction of critical infrastructure. I write this not as a detached observer, but someone who has spent decades documenting…

Ken Paxton’s primary victory shows how Trump’s grudges undermine GOP interests

Politics & Policy

[ad_1] In the first round of the Republican U.S. Senate primary in Texas on March 3, John Cornyn, the incumbent, prevailed over his closest competitor, outgoing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, by about two points. But in the second round on Tuesday, Paxton trounced Cornyn, winning 64 percent of the vote in the head-to-head match. Since the candidates disqualified in the first round received less than 17 percent of the vote in total, that is a pretty striking reversal. The only factor that can plausibly explain it is President Donald Trump’s last-minute endorsement of Paxton, which he announced one week…
