WORLDNETDAILY — "CBS Saturday Morning" featured a segment suggesting adding insects into a diet could provide benefits for a growing world affected by climate change. To counter meat, soybean derived proteins or other high-carbon foods, the segment described efforts by climate experts and scientists to explore farming bugs to protect the planet.... (more)

REV. MARK H. CREECH — In his book Laugh Again, Charles Swindoll tells this fabulous story about a three-year-old, freckled-face boy in a hallway. The little guy's pajamas are unsnapped, his diaper sagging, and he has a little teddy bear dangling from his hand. He's standing in front of his parent's bedroom door, which is closed. On the door is a sign written by a weary mother: "Closed for Business. Motherhood Out of Order."... (more)

KATIE PAVLICH — The House Oversight Committee is out with a new report detailing how the Central Intelligence Agency may have directly helped President Joe Biden win the 2020 presidential election. How? By helping to recruit signatures for the now infamous letter, which was signed by 51 former intelligence officials, calling Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop "Russian disinformation." That laptop contained endless information about Biden's overseas business dealings, which he conducted with his father as a business partner.... (more)

NEWSMAX — Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson told Newsmax Friday that the FBI's refusal to answer a Congressional subpoena for information relating to President Joe Biden and his family's overseas business dealings shows the evidence of scandal is "irrefutable."... (more)

JOAN SWIRSKY — In 2021, the satire site Babylon Bee released a short video about a motorcyclist who identifies as a bicyclist and proceeds to set a world cycling record. The 5 1/2-minute spoof—viewable here—is titled "Switching Gears: The Norm Hiccup Story." It pokes fun at today's transgender movement. It should be obvious to the viewer that this clever, well-acted spoof is a compelling metaphor for the transgenderism craze, whereby confused Gen Z youth have been made to believe they were born in the wrong body—that is, in a body of the wrong gender—and will never be happy unless they can "switch gears" and reverse their gender....

PETE RIEHM — Since their founding, the healthy interservice rivalry between the Armed Forces of the United States has always been fierce and often acerbic. Marines like to say that within the Department of the Navy, they are the men’s division – or the Navy created the Marine Corps, so sailors would have someone to dance with. Marines already thought sailors wear dresses, so imagine the shame and shock, when the U.S. Navy officially designated a Second-Class Petty Officer Drag Queen as a digital ambassador for Navy recruiting! That’s a joke? Right? Nope. It’s all part of the new “woke” Navy, but don’t pile on just the Navy – all the services have lost their moral moorings and are running aground.... (more)

PETER LABARBERA — Interrupted and barraged with hostile, biased, "gotcha" questions all evening by moderator Kaitlin Collins at Wednesday's CNN's "Republican Presidential Town Hall" in New Hampshire, Donald Trump still managed to thrill his MAGA base, look confident and relaxed, and gain a huge conservative endorsement as he builds on his momentum as the party's clear frontrunner for 2024....

DENNIS PRAGER — There are four primary reasons fewer and fewer people in America and the West take God, the Bible, or religion seriously. 1) The belief that science disproves religion. 2) The belief that reason and feelings supplant God and the Bible as the only necessary vehicles to morality. 3) The “progressive” ideologies of at least 100 years that seek to replace religion. 4) The failure of religious people to convince the next generation to be religious. As I have dealt with the first three reasons on many occasions, I will only note that it should be obvious to any rational person that the first three reasons are . . . irrational.... (more)

DEBRA HEINE — On Wednesday, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee released “astonishing” new findings in their months-long investigation into the Biden family’s influence-peddling operation, including transfers of millions of dollars from foreign entities to the Biden family. During a press conference Wednesday morning, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) noted that many of these wire transfers occurred while Joe Biden was Vice President “leading the United States’ efforts in those countries.”... (more)

NEWSMAX — Two top Republican lawmakers condemned the FBI on Wednesday for failing to comply with a House subpoena regarding allegations of President Joe Biden's foreign connections during his time as vice president. On Wednesday, Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer of Kentucky argued that the FBI's offer to accommodate their request differently "indicates the document is real."... (more)

BOB UNRUH — A new study suggests that those COVID masks, pushed on the American public by the likes of Biden medical adviser Anthony Fauci and multiple state and local officials, actually caused problems with high blood pressure. And they "reduced thinking ability." And "increased respiratory problems." And more.... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — It didn't take long for ousted Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson to find a new home for his broadcasts, and that home is Twitter. Carlson made the announcement in a three-minute video on Twitter Tuesday afternoon. "Speech is the fundamental prerequisite for democracy. That's why it was enshrined in the first of our Constitutional amendments," Carlson said. "Amazingly, as of tonight, there are not that many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is Twitter, where we are now."... (more)

PJ MEDIA — Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the Chair of the House Oversight Committee, is preparing to drop a major bombshell about Joe Biden. In fact, he’s so convinced that this evidence is consequential that he’s also spoken to the Department of Justice, advising them not to indict Hunter Biden until the Committee’s forthcoming announcement. According to Comer, committee members have been meticulously studying bank records and consulting with former associates and whistleblowers, and this bombshell evidence will be released on Wednesday.... (more)

NEW YORK POST — The White House press office barred The Post from attending President Biden’s only daytime public event Monday as federal prosecutors near a decision on criminally charging first son Hunter Biden for tax fraud and other crimes. The Post has closely covered the president’s ties to his relatives’ foreign dealings and first reported in October 2020 on files from Hunter’s abandoned laptop that link Joe Biden to ventures in China and Ukraine....

ROBERT SPENCER — As King Charles III was crowned in Westminister Abbey Saturday, viewers worldwide got a chill, or a chuckle, out of an unexpected sight. Right after the king’s guards processed into the abbey, a lone figure wearing a black hooded robe and holding a long stick that could have been a scythe walked by the abbey’s open door. Had the Grim Reaper made an appearance at Charles’ coronation? Was it an omen? A prankster? A warning? Part of the ceremony? An AI deepfake? No one knows for sure, and speculation was rife. Some even said it was the ghost of Charles’ celebrated late wife Diana. But whoever or whatever he was (and gosh, Grim, big apologies if I’m misgendering you), he was a welcome sight for reasons that have been insufficiently appreciated.... (more)

NEW YORK POST — Democratic White House contender Robert Kennedy Jr. blames the CIA for the Nov. 22, 1963, assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy — proclaiming it “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Kennedy made the bombshell accusation about a murder that’s sparked many conspiracy theories during an interview Sunday with John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM’s “Cats Roundtable.” “There is overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in his murder. I think it’s beyond a reasonable doubt at this point,” Kennedy said of JFK’s assassination in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas.... (more)

NEW YORK POST — Young men who are heavy weed smokers could have a higher risk for developing schizophrenia, according to a new study. The research, which was published on May 4 in the journal Psychological Medicine, found that a shocking 30% of schizophrenia cases among men aged 21 to 30 could have been thwarted if they had averted cannabis use disorder....

TOWNHALL — Former Democratic presidential candidate and Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard went scorched earth on the transgender madness sweeping the nation during a Monday night Fox News appearance. Responding to recent polling on the issue cited by fill-in host Kayleigh McEnany that showed a majority of Americans both believe gender is determined at birth and do not believe transgender individuals born male should be allowed to participate in female sports, Gabbard expressed hope that "there is still some sense of common sense and sanity in our society."...

TOWNHALL — With another American presidential election around the corner, infinite grifters at The Lincoln Project are back at the trough. Founded by former Republican strategists, they achieved fame and fortune in the Trump era by viciously attacking him. Political organizations that are created to support or oppose a federal candidate are lawful. In our system, any group can form and support or oppose any candidate. There’s no problem with being explicitly negative. As someone who has worked on campaigns for 20 years, I know firsthand that negative ads can be the most effective. But the Lincoln Project’s shifting mission and purpose reveal the true goal of the organization: Elect more Democrats.... (more)

THE FEDERALIST — Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley is demanding transparency from an agency with no interest in transparency. On Thursday, the Iowa lawmaker went to the Senate floor to demand FBI compliance with a congressional subpoena compelling documents related to a criminal scheme involving the president and a “foreign national.” Grassley joined House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer in issuing the subpoena Wednesday.... (more)

WORLD NET DAILY — Fox News executives may want to avert their eyes and avoid this viral clip of now-former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Because if it's any indication about how the rest of America feels about Carlson, it's clear that Fox News has made a massive, bungling mistake. The clip in question was shared by young conservative influencer Brilyn Hollyhand, and it showcased Carlson's first appearance since his unceremonious split from the suddenly-struggling news network.... (more)

NEWSMAX — Tucker Carlson is reportedly in talks with former President Donald Trump to host a GOP forum featuring Republican presidential contenders, a move that could mean millions of dollars forfeited for the former Fox News host as he is still legally obligated to the network until the end of 2024, reports The Washington Post....

JERRY NEWCOMBE — May 2023 marks an important historical milestone. 75 years ago, on May 14, 1948, the modern nation of Israel was born. After having been scattered virtually around the world, Jews from across the earth were able to return to their homeland and create the modern state of Israel. Much of the land they came to was a wasteland, but through God’s help, and irrigation and advanced technology, they have been able to see “streams in the deserts.”... (more)

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON — The old cultural imperialism was supposedly greedy corporatism like Disneyland, McDonald’s, and Starbucks sprouting up worldwide to supplant local competitors. But these businesses spread because they appealed to free-will consumer demand abroad. They were not imposed top down. The U.S. presence in Afghanistan collapsed in August 2021 amid the greatest American military humiliation in modern history. A billion-dollar new embassy was abandoned. Hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of new infrastructure at the huge Bagram Airbase was dumped.... (more)

ROBERT SPENCER — Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) wrote to Gestapo chief Merrick Garland and his henchman, FBI top dog Christopher Wray, on Wednesday with some allegations that were positively explosive. Grassley and Comer say that they’ve “received legally protected and highly credible unclassified whistleblower disclosures” regarding a “criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.” Would anyone really be surprised if it were positively determined that Old Joe Biden was paid off by foreigners to set policy in a way they dictated?...
