The mayor of North Las Vegas has ditched the Democratic Party, accusing them of deserting work-class Americans and becoming the party of the 'elitists'. John Lee, 65, who has been a Democrat since his first state election victory in 1994, said he was switching allegiance to the Republican Party as he can no longer abide the direction his former party is going. Lee told Fox & Friends on Tuesday morning that the Nevada Democratic leadership was now dominated by 'card-carrying' socialists. 'In the Democratic Party of Nevada, they had an election recently for leadership, and four of the five people were card-carrying members of the socialistic (sic) party,' Lee said.

Way too late... Democrats have been socialist for a long time, now we're in Ozero's third term via Biden... and the Democrats have gone on to using Communism as a path to Islamism. Can this destruction of the great USA be stopped?... Will it be stopped? Who will "bell the cat?"

One can easily say that Mr. Lee licked his finger and stuck it in the wind before making his decision. However, the wind isn't blowing in the direction Mr. Lee has chosen. The Pelosi's are faring better than the Trumps in today's politics. Sure, it's theft. But who ever said the democrats were honest?

Yes, the Obama Democrats have become card carrying communists. Soon, very soon Biden and his HO will ship US Trump voters to re-education camps in the Mohave desert. Just before Stalin died on March 5,1953, he ordered his NKVD to build more Gulags in Siberia. If you want to know more about then coming Biden re-education camps read the GULAG ARCHIAPELOGO.

Former Major League Baseball commissioner Fay Vincent has slammed successor Rob Manfred over the 'mistake' of moving the All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver in response to the new voting law in Georgia that many believe to be racist. 'Major League Baseball can't become a weapon in the culture wars, a hostage for one political party or ideology,' the 82-year-old Vincent wrote in The Wall Street Journal's opinion section. Georgia's new law limits mail-in voting and allows for more legislative control over the election process following former President Donald Trump's baseless claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.

The CDC is advising Americans to avoid traveling to Canada, even if they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Canada is currently ranked as a Level 4 health risk by the CDC due to high levels of the virus and low vaccination rates. "Because of the current situation in Canada even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants and should avoid all travel to Canada," the CDC wrote on its website. This comes the same day when Ontario is expected to severely restrict all big box stores from operating, among other lockdown measures.

Tucker Carlson ripped into Arkansas Gov Asa Hutchinson over his decision to veto a bill that would ban gender confirming treatments and surgery for transgender youth, accusing him of supporting the 'chemical castration' of children. Carlson and Hutchinson engaged in a heated debate on Fox News on Tuesday night after Arkansas' Republican legislature voted to override the governor's veto and move forward with enacting the bill. The interview was rocky out of the gate as Hutchinson, a Republican, immediately took issue with Carlson's description of the bill.

NASA has sent their employees an email asking if they would volunteer at Joe Biden's overcrowded camps for migrants crossing the border. In an email obtained by The Intercept's Ken Klippenstein, the space agency said the Department of Health and Human Services was looking for people to put themselves for 120 days of work to help unaccompanied kids coming from Mexico. Several other agencies are believed to have received similar requests. DailyMail.com has reached out to Health and Human Services for comment. The email was released just hours after it was reported that the Biden administration is considering restarting building the border wall.

By moving the All-Star Game from suburban Atlanta to a stadium in Denver, Major League Baseball may have gone from the frying pan into the fire in the controversial case of cancel culture. MLB ignited a firestorm last Friday - with the support of President Joe Biden - when it announced it was moving America's pastime's biggest game next to the World Series because it disagreed with a new Georgia voting law that liberal critics say helps Republicans and hurts minorities. But the new venue, Coors Field, in Denver, comes with its own dark cloud of controversy, and may ignite even more problems.

The Catholic church of the parish of Hard is one of many in Austria which decided to fly the rainbow flag in solidarity with the LGBT community after the Vatican ruled last month that the Church couldn't bless same-sex partnerships. The powerful Vatican office responsible for defending church doctrine, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), handed down a ruling that same-sex unions could not be blessed despite their "positive elements". The office wrote that while God "never ceases to bless each of His pilgrim children in this world... he does not and cannot bless sin".

In this case, our automated systems took enforcement action on the account referenced in error. This action has been reversed, and access to the account has been reinstated,' Twitter explained in a statement.

"There is nothing like the story of Easter and the reality of Christ's resurrection that demonstrates God's great love for us and the great lengths to which he has gone to take up our cause, even when we have failed to take up his," said the Rev. Martin Ankrum, pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Greensburg. In the story of Christ's incarnation, life, death and resurrection, "we see that God has taken up our cause..."

The USS Constitution is one of the country's first frigates and is the oldest commissioned warship still afloat. It was launched in 1797 in Boston, Massachusetts, and now sits in Baltimore Harbor. Harris' desk has carvings of an eagle surrounded by stars from the Constitution's stern decorations.

Left-wing Hollywood stars Debra Messing and Piper Perabo are threatening a boycott of Southwest Airlines over the carrier’s refusal to condemn Texas’ election integrity bill, which the state’s senate passed last week. Their boycott is the latest intimidation campaign waged by elite leftists against corporations in an attempt to sway election policy in favor of Democrats. On Monday, Covert Affairs actress Piper Perabo voiced her intention to boycott the Dallas-based Southwest. She echoed former Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean by using the now-ubiquitous term “voter suppression” to describe the bill. “I spend my money companies who support voting rights,” the actress tweeted.

Politico first reported Wednesday that the new measure — one of several “common sense” gun reforms Biden has promised to take — will require people purchasing “ghost guns,” homemade firearms without serial numbers, to undergo a federal background check. It remains unclear how many specific actions Biden is expected to take on guns, but reporting indicates the president will also seek to close the “Charleston Loophole,” which allows licensed dealers to transfer firearms to buyers before a background check is completed.

I have a friend who is fearful of commercial airlines. At the gate, before boarding, he asks the agent the following question: "What is the captain's name?" If the answer indicates the pilot is female, he will not board that flight. Any criticism of my friend's lack of confidence in any qualified aviatrix is answered along these lines: "She can't drive a stick shift. I should trust her with a Jumbo Jet?" My friend is right to be cautious about flying, but for different reasons. Like most air travelers, he doesn't know what he doesn't know.
