The following article, Russia and North Korea Sign Mutual Defense Treaty: What It Means for World Security, was first published on Conservative Firing Line. When Trump was in office he kept North Korea at bay in many ways. By actively engaging with Kim Jong-Un, he got some concessions from the hermit kingdom that no one thought possible. When Biden was elected, all communication was cut off. They wouldn’t even answer Biden’s phone calls. Since then, NoKo has forged relationships … Continue reading Russia and North Korea Sign Mutual Defense Treaty: What It Means for World Security ...

(Natural News) After several videos plainly showing Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline went viral over the last week, the left is now pulling the ‘out of context’ thing, suggesting that they’re edited “cheap fakes” that are “done in bad faith,” and both NBC News and AP running ‘fact checks.’ (Article by Tyler Durden republished from ZeroHedge.com) “The Party told you to reject the evidence … Continue reading Your Lyin’ Eyes: Corporate Media Panics With ‘Fact Checks’ Over Biden’s Obvious Decline ...

Given some of the laws being passed in the southern half of the country, it's easy to assume events like drag brunch would be met with disapproval. But Autherius Lawson has been bringing drag to the Mississippi Gulf Coast for years, even in the midst of other southern cities attempting to outright ban drag performances.Lawson performs as Lexis Redd D'Ville and has a thriving company, Lexis & Friends Entertainment. The queens are always booked and busy in a region of the country people wouldn't expect, that is, unless you're local. Lawson has been selling out his signature Drag Brunch since 2019 at White Pillars, an upscale restaurant in Biloxi, Mississippi. When D'Ville saunters to the middle of the dinning room there is no shortage of excited cheers. But the thing that likely keeps patrons coming back outside of the fabulous song choices and amazing costumes–is the laughter. If you have nothing else while at one of D'Ville's events, you'll have a good time. Since his first drag brunch across the street from the Biloxi beach, Lawson has expanded his operations to New Orleans, Louisiana, also hosting events in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, which is about an hour north of where he got his start. More drag queens have been added to his roster of entertainers, seemingly leaving Lawson with little time to sleep. The entrepreneur not only hosts drag brunches in two different states, but he also puts on traditional drag events at bars and other entertainment venues. On top of hosting his own events, Lawson is the show director for Sipps Bar in Gulfport, Mississippi and the New Orleans House of Blues. Lawson tells the Associated Press, "I will say that I have prided myself on taking the chances and kicking open the doors people would not have expected."But the Mississippi Gulf Coast is not only a tourist area but home to Keesler Air Force Base and a Naval Construction Battalion Center, creating a unique eclectic culture of its own. White Pillars is able to rake in profits from the partnership they have with Lawson, and Ms. D'Ville gets to show the Bible belt what drag is really about.

D'Ville's "friends" come from all over the Deep South, from Shreveport, Louisiana to Mobile, Alabama.

Some of the costume changes happen before your eyes leaving customers wondering if the drag queens might be a little magic. There's no telling what kind of crowd the queens might encounter: a granny with better knees than a 25 year old dancing with her bottomless mimosa above her head or a group of guy friends laughing after being personally serenaded.As Lawson's drag queen empire expands taking him to new cities, he still makes time to sell out shows at the White Pillars every third Sunday.
