Prudence Is the Definition of Conservatism
Posted By: Imright, 1/23/2022 9:54:50 PM
In a recent year, only 69 girls born in America were named "Prudence." That's a shame, because Prudence is not only a lovely name, but also an important virtue — one that we ought frequently to be reminded of.For conservatives in particular, prudence is a key virtue.The very nature of conservatism centers on conserving and preserving. A conservative is prudent by nature since he wishes to preserve his moral and cultural inheritance and, indeed, to preserve life itself. A conservative cares about life in a way that liberals do not: rather than experimenting with untested and self-serving theories, he is mostly guided by what he has learned from the past

President Joe Biden may have to fire himself for calling Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a b****” because he told his staff in 2021 that he had a zero-tolerance policy toward treating others with disrespect.During a hot mic moment on Monday, Joe Biden called Peter Doocy of Fox News a “stupid son of a b****” for asking a question about inflation.
“Do you think inflation is a political liability in the midterms?” Doocy asked the president.“It’s a great asset,” the president sarcastically responded. “More inflation. What a stupid
On Monday, Dr. Robert Malone spoke alongside several other world-renowned doctors and medical experts during a panel discussion that was hosted by Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI),The nearly five-hour-long event, which was titled “Covid-19: A Second Opinion,” saw a wide range of issues discussed, including “the global pandemic response, the current state of knowledge of early and hospital treatment, vaccine efficacy, and safety, what went right, what went wrong, what should be done now, and what needs to be
Nearly 64,000 U.S. troops are at the ready in Europe to deploy to the continent's eastern flank if President Biden makes such a call to counter growing Russian aggression at the border with Ukraine. As Vladimir Putin has deployed 100,000 Russian forces to the Ukraine border and continues to stoke fears he will invade, the U.S. may have to ready its troops and its cache of arms situated throughout Europe, including 40 warships, 175 aircraft and 90 tanks. Military officials presented the commander-in-chief with a plan to deploy up to 50,000 troops if the security situation deteriorates and Russia launches an invasion
In the 1950s a series of Congressional committees were formed with the ostensible goal to root out communists in the United States. Sen. Joe McCarthy became the face of the effort and its inevitable lighting rod. The genesis of the hearings may be traced to McCarthy delivering a speech to a West Virginia woman’s club, and famously holding a piece of paper in his hand, declaring he had the names of 205 communists. In fact, there was no such list. It was theater.During that decade several hearings were chaired by McCarthy on the Senate side and others chaired by House members. Each committee threw wide nets to fish for communists
A solid majority of Americans know that the 2020 election was fraudulent. That’s a big problem for a country with a representative government, one in which the leaders are supposed to represent the will of the people. We’re a nation of laws ostensibly flowing from a Constitution that sets out explicit limitations on the federal government’s powers and protects a variety of citizens’ rights upon which said government cannot infringe. To the degree that a significant majority of citizens feel that the leader of this government was not constitutionally elected, that’s a problem.For all its importance, our Constitution is nothing more than a piece of paper. It doesn’t make laws.
House Republicans are demanding the Biden administration share what it knows about an apparent Russian overture to Iran about a proposed 'interim' nuclear deal amid a standoff between Tehran and major powers.The U.S. is 'aware' of the proposal, NBC reported, amid administration efforts to try to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.Such an interim deal would involve a lifting of some sanctions on Tehran in exchange for additional restrictions on its nuclear program – the same kind of trade-offs that make up the 2015 deal negotiated during the Obama administration that President Donald Trump scrapped.
The conservative-dominated Supreme Court could put an end to the practice of factoring race into college admissions, after agreeing to take up a pair of court challenges claiming affirmative action is unfair to white and Asian American students on Monday.The high court said it will take up lawsuits claiming that Harvard University, a private institution, and the University of North Carolina, a state school, discriminate against Asian American applicants.The suits claim that affirmative action gives an edge to African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans over Asian students.
Tracy Compton, a mother of two in Fairfax, Virginia, had voted for Democrats for as long as she can remember, until the COVID-related school closures.'I tried and went to apply to work with the Democratic Party. I was told I was not allowed to become a member of the Democratic Party [in Fairfax].' A recording of a reorganization meeting showed fellow Democrats deeming Compton too 'anti-school' to be part of their political efforts. What made Compton anti-school? She wanted the public schools to fully reopen.
Jen Psaki got a real question today from the embarrassing lapdogs who gather in the White House press room each week and pretend that they are reporters.Psaki was asked today, “If Europeans aren’t willing to expend blood and treasure on their self defense, why should Americans be expected to do so?”Her answer was a garbled mess of lies the best lie being that Joe Biden pushed NATO members to reach their 2% funding pledge. Of course, THAT never happened.

Manhattan federal court Judge Jed Rakoff, who is presiding over the trial, told the courtroom about her positive test.The judge stated specifically that “she is of course unvaccinated.” The court is now waiting on the results of a second test to confirm if the trial can go on as scheduled, as her first test was a home kit —
The Biden family scored $31 million from five deals in China, all with individuals with direct ties to the Chinese spy apparatus, according to a bombshell new book.Multiple financiers with direct ties to Chinese intelligence partnered with Hunter Biden during and after his father’s time as Vice President — including the former head of the Ministry of State Security and the head of foreign intelligence recruitment — and some of those relationships remain intact, according to Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, by Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer.

Pentagon officials presented the plan to Biden during a summit at Camp David
Who, really, is in charge at the White House? It sure doesn’t look to be President Joe Biden. The latest evidence came last week when Chief of Staff Ron Klain delivered a behind-the-scenes message to Democratic allies and staff, just hours after Biden’s disastrous news conference: The prez had failed to mention that his next Build Back Better bill would fund child and elder care, but Klain insisted it would. As Axios reported, “Klain’s private comments are yet another indication the White House has a core set of priorities it plans to fight for” . . . even if the president doesn’t know about it fully yet.

President Biden was caught on a hot mic Monday appearing to call Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a b****" in response to a question asked at the start of a White House event on lowering the prices on consumer goods. As the meeting at the White House wrapped up, a reporter asked the president for an update on a call held earlier in the day on the situation in Ukraine. Biden seemed impatient that the question had veered off the topic of the meeting. “The only reason I don’t like doing this is that you never
A Missouri university is hosting an online forum that will explore whether the term 'professionalism' is racist—and according to the event's synopsis, it is. The February 1 presentation at Washington University's St. Louis campus centers around a term defined by Merriam-Webster as 'the conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or a professional person.'
An explainer for the upcoming virtual event reads: 'The term “professionalism” has at times been used to silence and marginalize people of color, when attributes of appearance, language or interactions that have nothing to do with job knowledge or constructive collegial relationships are labeled as “unprofessional”. 'In this context, so-called professionalism
The Burlington Northern – Sante Fe (BNSF) railroad is preparing to go on strike. This will involve 17,000 workers across the nation and will disrupt supply chain channels even further.
FOX News in Minot – Bismark, North Dakota reports:
A new work policy at BNSF Railway that starts Feb. 1 has prompted more than 17,000 employees to decide to go on strike over what they call “the worst attendance policy ever.”
The SMART Transportation Union released the following statement: “This unprecedented BNSF policy repudiates direct and clear contract language and, in application, will attempt to force our members to report for duty without regard for their medical condition
A self-proclaimed mask “Karen” went berserk in a Walmart when she spotted a couple who was shopping without their faces covered.
After making initial contact and being largely ignored, the unhinged, overweight woman stalked the unmasked pair around the store as they shopped, while attempting to get others to join in on her meltdown.
“These people are not wearing masks, isn’t that rude?!” she exclaimed desperately while clapping and yelling about Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and of course Steven Colbert.
Thankfully she was unsuccessful in finding any others. In fact, one woman, who was also wearing her mask, interjected and called the masked crusader out for being rude herself.
President Joe Biden apologized after calling Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a b****" on a hot microphone during a meeting about inflation. (snip) Biden later called Doocy to apologize for the remark, according to CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins. Doocy later told Fox News host Sean Hannity that Biden called to tell him, "It's nothing personal, pal." The remarks were also included in the White House's official transcript of the meeting. The White House did not respond to an inquiry about whether or not Biden knew the microphone was still on when he made the comment.
When White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki stepped into the briefing room for the first time last year, it was seen as a return to a functional relationship between the administration and the press corps. Gone were the days of briefings simply never happening, of insulting journalists and exposing them to Covid-19.
You never know what the day’s going to look like when you wake up. Typically, I have meetings and calls from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The first is with my team. We talk about the news of the day. We have some laughs.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has finally acknowledged a point that COVID dissenters have been making since at least the creation of the first coronavirus vaccine: Natural immunity counts.
A study published by the Biden CDC on Monday found that “persons with vaccine- and infection-derived immunity,” the latter of which is the agency’s term for natural immunity, “had much lower rates of hospitalization compared with those in unvaccinated persons” during the study period.
Conducted in New York and California between May and November of 2021, the study also found that natural immunity offered even “greater” protection “after the highly transmissible Delta variant became predominant,

An anonymous University of Pennsylvania swimmer has slammed transgender teammate Lia Thomas as she continued to dominate in the pool in a meet against Harvard this weekend, saying that she was 'not even close to being competitive' when competing as a man.
The swimmer, who chose to remain anonymous, spoke to the Washington Examiner about the advantages Thomas, 22, has gained through her transition, especially after the USA Swimming team announced it will allow 'non-elite' athletes to compete in a way that is 'consistent with their gender identity.'
On Thursday, USA Swimming said that it will release a new policy 'shortly' on whether elite trans athletes,
A House candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump handily defeated Rep. Liz Cheney in a Republican Party straw poll in Wyoming, according to a report.
Harriet Hageman, whom Trump endorsed in September to challenge Cheney in the Republican primary, won the straw poll conducted by the Wyoming Republican State Central Committee with 59 votes, the Casper Star-Tribune reported on Saturday. Cheney came in a distant second with six votes. The incumbent drew Trump’s ire when she voted — along with nine other Republicans — to impeach the former president on Jan. 13
