New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio may have inadvertently started a religious revival in the Big Apple after announcing the elimination of the Gifted & Talented (G&T) program for the city’s schools. The Diocese of Brooklyn, which serves 1.2 million Catholics in Brooklyn and Queens, cited that their Catholic elementary schools’ enrollment grew by 2.4 percent for the current school year, according to a report by the New York Post. The increased interest in religious education comes after more than a decade of decline in enrollment for parochial schools in New York. But this year the tables are turned as public schools

I’ve generally tried to avoid these kinds of stories the last several weeks because writing about Joe Biden’s obvious senility gets repetitive at some point. But somehow, he just keeps upping the ante in a way that I can’t ignore.
That happened today during an event at the White House where Jill Biden hosted the 2021 Teachers of the Year ceremony. That included the presence of Randi Weingarten, the child-less teachers union head who was at the forefront of so much destruction to schools over the last two years. She was honored today because absolutely nothing matters to this administration except rank partisanship and being on the right team.
Ivermectin: The Elephant in the Room

There are a great many unknowns and controversies associated with the COVID pandemic. Among the most urgent are those associated with appropriate therapeutic and prophylactic interventions. Some of the most intense disputes involve repurposed therapies — i.e., drugs that have been approved for the treatment of some other condition being used as therapy for COVID. This is the case with the anti-parasitic agent ivermectin.
Much of the controversy regarding ivermectin involves "evidence" that the drug has a benefit in the treatment of COVID. Detractors will often use the hyperbolic claim that there is no evidence that ivermectin is useful in this setting.
It isn’t hard to point out the failures of Democrats. They’re so numerous it would be difficult to compile a comprehensive list of them. But two recent political gambits by congressional Democrats are falling flat on their face. Biden’s SCOTUS Commission and the congressional J6 commission have completely failed in their purpose of hiding their incompetence in managing anything larger than a fundraising dinner.
Democrats successfully managed to whip their base into a frenzy over the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. It seems like ages ago now, but the #MeToo crowd that trashed Kavanaugh was nowhere to be found
American Marxism, unable to use economics to attack America, now opts for tribalism, dividing Americans into victims and abusers. The abusers are always straight White men. Currently, the left's two primary victim classes are Blacks and LGBTers, especially so-called transgender people. Anything you say about them that is not slavishly supportive is hate speech, and that's true whether your statements are factually accurate or not. And that's why popular YouTuber Steven Crowder has been put in YouTube's deep freeze.
Steven Crowder is a popular conservative with a website and two channels on YouTube, one with 5.5 million subscribers and the other with 1 million subscribers.
The Biden administration is planning to request the U.S. Supreme Court block the Texas abortion law.
Last week, a federal appeals court rejected the Biden administration’s efforts to stop the new law.
In response, the Biden administration is planning to take the case all the way to the Supreme Court, which could set a major precedent on abortion rights in the country.
“The Justice Department intends to ask the Supreme Court to vacate the Fifth Circuit’s stay of the preliminary injunction against Texas Senate Bill 8,” Anthony Coley, the Justice Department spokesman, said in a statement, per the New York Times.
In a one-page decision, the Fifth Circuit Court Of Appeals
Ashli Babbitt, the only person killed during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol Building as a result of direct action taken by others, was an Air Force veteran who served the country proudly for more than a dozen years, but according to her mother, she was denied a military burial earlier this year.
Babbitt, who was shot and killed by Lt. Michael Byrd as it appeared as though she was about to crawl through the broken window of a door leading to the House floor, should have been able to be buried with full military honors, her mother, Micki Witthoeft, told Newsmax TV Saturday, because she loved her country
Fox News host Maria Bartiromo is reporting that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may be planning to step down.
During a segment on “Sunday Morning Features,” Bartiromo said that sources had told her that Pelosi is stepping down after Democrats pass Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda.
“First, this morning is exclusive, sources tell Sunday Morning Futures there is speculation swirling in Washington that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may step down after getting the massive spending package through,” she said.
“So all those Democrat members who had their arms twisted to vote on the multitrillion-dollar package and put their own reelection in jeopardy may be fuming
The Biden White House has again gone after Donald Trump.
The White House is officially blocking Trump from legally invoking executive privilege to move on from Democrats’ nasty January 6th witch hunt to target him.
“Releasing a letter from White House counsel to the National Archives, the White House has confirmed that President Joe Biden has formally rejected former President Donald Trump from invoking executive privilege on Jan. 6 documents,” Newsmax reported.
“Despite this, former White House strategist Steve Bannon is resolute on sticking to Trump’s privilege and wrote to the Jan. 6 Select Committee on Wednesday night to take it up with Trump’s legal counsel or the courts,” Newsmax added.

Using his mixed martial arts training, a Virginia man fought off three would-be alleged carjackers.
In addition to perhaps picking the wrong potential victim, i.e., someone who has a particular set of skills (to quote Liam Neeson’s memorable line from the movie “Taken“), the alleged suspects’ attempt to flee the scene in the vehicle, moreover, was apparently thwarted because the ability to operate a stick shift has become a lost art.
The incident occurred in the parking lot of Anytime Fitness in Stafford, Va., which is about 40 miles south of Washington, D.C., on Tuesday at about 5 p.m. when the attackers

Nearly a year has passed since the 2020 election, yet there has not been a clear, satisfactory answer to the central mystery: How did a dull, declining Joe Biden manage to get more than 81 million votes and win the presidency? After all, Biden spent most of the pandemic-laced campaign in his Delaware basement and his appearances were marked by sparse crowds and signs he had lost more than a step. Yet he flipped five states Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, including Georgia and Arizona, and racked up 306 electoral votes to Donald Trump’s 232.

With Democrat Joe Biden appearing much like an addled absentee landlord, Judge Jeanine Pirro is wondering who is actually in control in the White House, and by logical extension, of the entire U.S. federal government.“What are we supposed to conclude when the most powerful man in the free world says that someone will reprimand him if he doesn’t do what they tell him to do?” she asked. “Is someone else in charge?”Pirro then implied that she thinks she might know who is calling the shots on a de facto basis.

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that Americans who think he is a “polarizing figure” were people who denied “reality.”Anchor Chris Wallace asked, “When this pandemic started, it is fair to say you were generally regarded as the authority on infectious disease. As time has gone on, you have become a polarizing figure, and critics accuse you of sending mixed messages. There’s allegations that you helped fund dangerous research at the Wuhan lab. Two questions, why do you think you’ve become so controversial? And honestly, do you think there’s anything you have done

The TSA should use its canine teams to keep airport security lines moving if there is a worker shortage amid the federal COVID-19 vaccination mandate, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday.President Biden’s vaccination order for federal workers takes effect three days before Thanksgiving — the busiest time of the year for air travel.“If TSA lags in jabs, send in the dogs,” Schumer said during a press conference in Manhattan, citing recent revelations from the TSA that 40 percent of its employees remain unvaccinated.
Former President Bill Clinton has been released from a Southern California hospital on Sunday after he spent five nights receiving treatment for a urological infection.
Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, left the University of California Irvine Medical Center in Orange, just southeast of Los Angeles, as they held each other's arms. The former president shook hands with hospital staff as he departed the facility alongside his wife of 46 years. Just before his release, the former first lady was seen being escorted to the entrance of the facility early on Sunday morning.
Colin Powell, the first black Secretary of State who formulated foreign policy under several presidents, died Monday morning at the age of 84 of complications from COVID.

Retired Four-Star General Powell, who was also suffering from Parkinson's, is survived by his wife of 59 years,
The Art Institute of Chicago fired all of its roughly 100 volunteer museum guides, or docents, in September because too many of them were wealthy, white women. The news of the mass firing has only trickled out slowly, partly because the institute asked docents not to speak to the media, and because the left-leaning Chicago media showed little interest in covering the issue.(Snip)Ironically, the Journal was able to speak to one of the fired docents, who happened to be black, and defied the museum’s request that no one speak directly to the media—perhaps because she had less fear of being accused of racism.
President Joe Biden and his wife Jill enjoyed an Italian seafood dinner at a Michelin-starred Washington DC restaurant on Saturday evening. The Bidens dressed up for what the White House dubbed as a 'date night' at Fiola Mare in Washington Harbor.The couple looked loved up and held hands as they made their way into the restaurant, followed by secret service downed in black suits and black face masks. They had earlier attended church at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Georgetown. The date came on 'Sweetest Day' - a holiday celebrated in the Midwest and Florida to celebrate romantic deeds and expressions.

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the supply chain backups at America’s ports were a product of President Joe Biden guiding the economy “out of the teeth of a terrifying recession,” which caused incomes and demand to rise.Anchor Jake Tapper said, “We are seeing supply chain disruption causing everything from higher prices to longer waits for products. Moody’s warns that these supply chain disruptions, quote, ‘will get worse before they get better, ‘ unquote. do Americans need to prepare ourselves for this to get worse before it gets better?”Buttigieg said, “Certainly, a lot of the challenges that we have been experiencing
