How Mike Johnson Became Speaker ‘Through Prayer, Not Politics’ – Epoch Times

Eyebrows were raised when newly elected Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) in his first address from the chair reminded the assembled Democratic and Republican members of the House of Representatives that the God of the Bible raised up each one of them for a purpose. “I want to tell all my colleagues here what I told the Republicans in that room last night: I don’t believe there are any coincidences in a matter like this. I believe that scripture, the Bible, is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority. He raised up each of you. All of us. And I believe that God has allowed and ordained each and every one of us to be here at this specific moment,” the Louisiana Republican said.

Tucker Carlson’s Departure Means Fox News Doomed to Irrelevance – Epoch Times Commentary

Was he fired or did he quit? Maybe it doesn’t make a difference. Maybe, in fact, it was likely a long time coming. We may never know in the world of nondisclosure agreements, but, in an act that can only be seen as corporate suicide, Fox News has let Tucker Carlson go, on April 24, 2023. This was a form of corporate suicide for Fox News, with its allied companies The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal taking a hit as well. Do the owners—Rupert Murdoch and sons Lachlan and James—care? They must have known what everyone knows—that Tucker wasn’t only the most important broadcaster on the network, arguably in the country, and also arguably the next to the most powerful figure in the American conservative movement, second only to Donald Trump.

The Left Is Using Science ‘Consensus’ to Shut Down Free Speech in America – Epoch Times Commentary

This idea of a scientific consensus is, of course, the diametric opposite of what scientific inquiry is all about. It is completely ahistorical. History’s greatest minds and inventors were people who challenged the conventional wisdom of the day. It’s an updated version of the Flat Earth Societies in the Middle Ages that would imprison those who dared question the scientific consensus of the time…. The irony of the modern-day inquisitionists is that they are the very people who were the doomsayers of the 1970s who have been so consistently wrong about the future. They were the ones who said the Earth was cooling and that we were headed into another Ice Age. They were the ones who said we were running out of energy, food and farmland….

Slavitt also called for Twitter to ban Alex Berenson, an independent journalist, previously released messages show.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on Sunday claimed the 2022 midterms will make or break Republicans, arguing that if the GOP doesn’t win back Congress, “there won’t be 2024.” “If we don’t win in 2022, there won’t be a 2024,” said Haley, a Republican, during a Fox News appearance on Sunday. “So we need to stay humble, disciplined, and win that.” Haley, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, did not elaborate.

More Companies Join the ‘Great Migration’ to Red States – Epoch Times

Amidst predictions of a political “red wave” in the upcoming mid-term elections, an economic wave has been building for years with no end in sight as companies flood out of blue states and into red states. And as a result of its political divisions, America appears to now be dividing itself into prosperous, high-growth states and states that are suffering a chronic decline. But Democrat-run states believe their abortion policies could be a key factor in attracting companies back. …When jobs leave, people leave with them. …states that are losing businesses and population, creating a vicious circle where continuously hiking taxes fails to bring in more revenue because the tax base gets depleted and quality of life suffers.

Despite the pardons, on Feb. 8, the Missouri Supreme Court indefinitely suspended the law licenses of the McCloskeys after their misdemeanor convictions.

Moral turpitude is a legal term describing “wicked, deviant behavior constituting an immoral, unethical, or unjust departure from ordinary social standards such that it would shock a community,” according to the Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School.
