February is Black History month, and picking up a copy of my new book, Black Patriots: Recovering a Lost History of the American Revolution, is a great way to learn about the thousands of free men and slaves who bravely fought in the battles and skirmishes that secured America’s

The strategy of giving Dems everything they wanted on 11 funding bills but isolating DHS was insane.
🚨NEWS: SENATE MAJORITY LEADER JOHN THUNE spoke to President DONALD TRUMP Sunday and offered to fund DHS -- without ICE. THUNE said he'd fund ICE in a reconciliation package. TRUMP rejected the offer. Said he wants Rs fighting Dems over DHS funding, SAVE Act. Some Senate Rs

German poet Heinrich Heine was once asked why men no longer build great cathedrals. He replied: "People in those old times had convictions; we moderns only have opinions. And it needs more than a mere opinion to erect a Gothic cathedral."

C.S Lewis on why you should read old books: “If one has to choose between reading the new books and reading the old, one must choose the old: not because they are necessarily better but because they contain precisely those truths of which our own age is neglectful.”

You need to watch Kenneth Clark’s 1969 docuseries, Civilisation. He covers the fall of Rome up to the mid 20th century. It’s 13 parts and 11 hours long, but it’s incredible.

The headline in today's Tribune. 24 hours after an illegal immigrant inexplicably kills Sheridan Gorman, the Tribune demonstrates the extent of its tone deafness. The Tribune is detached from reason.

The Nazareth House (Found: 2004) For a long time, skeptics argued that Nazareth didn't even exist during the time of Jesus because there was no archaeological evidence for it. In 2004, archaeologists discovered a house in Nazareth dating exactly to the 1st century. It was a

The Mueller Special Counsel's Office brought two indictments that went into great detail about the supposed Russian "interference" in the 2016 election. Both were long "speaking indictments" laying out the ALLEGATIONS made by the Mueller prosecutors. Those allegations were

This is the most amazing encapsulation of Code Pink leftism that I've ever seen. Going to an oppressed nation, showing solidarity with the oppressors, going around taking photos of poverty from tour buses, & then having a big party that takes down the electric grid. Perfection.

How about calling it Skynet??
ELON MUSK: "Space solar actually costs less than terrestrial solar because you don't need heavy glass or framing to protect it from extreme weather events. So as soon as the cost to orbit drops to a low number, it immediately makes extremely compelling sense to put AI in space.

We spent years using this meme for small wins and it turned into the biggest win possible
In 2007, a mother in Jacksonville, Florida, USA took a photo of her eleven month old son on a beach. He had his tiny fist clenched, his jaw set, and the expression of someone who had just won something important. He was actually about to eat a fistful of sand. She uploaded the

I agree, @therealBehnamBT . I also note that no other nation has developed missiles with a range of 2,000 km or more without a nuclear weapons program. @A1Policy
For too long I have warned that Iran’s 2,000 km range-cap is a political limitation rather than a technical limitation on its missiles forces. Still unclear which projectile was fired, but this marks the 1st operational IRBM use in history by Iran. https://t.co/pFjCddDO04?

One of my J6 clients was charged with”discarding” his phone - obstruction - because the FBI didn’t find it when they searched his house.
If I had wiped my DOJ phones (I had 2 — one for each Division I ran) when I left DOJ on 1/14/21 — either directly in a few iPhone steps or using the “accidentally on purpose” method of inputting the wrong password repeatedly, I have no doubt I’d be in jail. So you wouldn’t be

Research on the effect of migrants on public finances in Finland found that Somalis had a net lifetime cost of € 951,000, while Iraqis cost almost € 700,000. When the migrants’ children were added, the figure for Somalis went up to € 1.34 million https://t.co/tekT7CCzfc

Alas, it does not work out as expected…
