Today the character of Jeff Flake, the former resident Hamlet of the Senate, is being played by GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who originally inherited her Senate seat from her daddy, Frank Murkowski. Murkowski the daughter says she is “disturbed” by Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s statements that he will be working closely with and taking his cues from President Trump in any impeachment trial in the Senate. Imagine that -- the leader of her party in the Senate defending the President from her party from a political coup involving one sham investigation after another with no real crime, not even...

I consider myself a minimalist. Too much stuff gives me all kinds of stress, from ecological to financial. I’m a big believer in experiential gifts and spending time (together), not wads of money. But I’m buying my kids presents this year. They're tangible, need to be unwrapped and aren't just experiences or vouchers. And I’m feeling good about it. It’s not out of guilt or peer pressure, or any of those other powerful emotions. There is a method to my consumerism. First of all, when I say I’m buying my kids presents, I don’t mean a pile of plastic, electronics...

The website’s parent company praised the outlet but said it failed to bring in sufficient traffic. Splinter is shutting down. In an internal memo sent Tuesday to staff, Paul Maidment, the editorial director of Splinter’s parent company G/O Media, praised the site’s journalism, but said the publication struggled to gain large numbers of readers. “Despite the hard work of everyone on that staff, which has produced much outstanding journalism and great scoops, establishing a steady and sustainable audience for a relatively young site proved challenging in a fiercely competitive sector,” Maidment said. “Given that reality, the leadership team made the...

State Rep. Celia Israel (D-Austin) was named last week to lead the Texas House Democratic Campaign Committee. It’s a political action committee designed to help Democrats win seats in the Texas House. “We gained 12 seats last cycle and we want to protect those 12 seats,” Israel said during an interview for the State of Texas politics program. “And given the political energy that we’re all feeling, we want to capitalize and grow our numbers.” There is a lot at stake in the 2020 election in the Texas House. The winners will play a major role in redistricting starting in...

Kyle Kusz, a kinesiology professor at the University of Rhode Island, published a book this month titled “Making American White Men Great Again: Tom Brady, Donald Trump, and the Allure of White Male Omnipotence in Post-Obama America."

Another high level employee of the NY Times made racist and antisemitic comments on social media. Jazmine Hughes, associate editor of the NY Times Magazine, made a series of racist and antisemitic comments on social media over a multi-year span.

Once upon a time, America was founded on principles that all people are created equal, have equal rights under the law, and are free to think, say, and express themselves without facing official repercussion. But thanks to the hard Democrat Left, intolerance of other people’s views is now considered “tolerant.” Punishing others for holding opposing political opinions is now required. In short, modern-day Democrats have become old school tyrants just like those generations of Americans have shed blood and lost lives to defeat. That said, not all liberals have lost their minds. Not all of them have lost track of...

I'm the president of the Reunion. My cousin, first to arrive, is 20 years older than me. He says who needs assault rifles. I explain we need them to protect ourselves from the Government. He says the 2nd amendment is outdated, not meant for these times. Then he says Trump is a white supremacist. I said no he is not and please provide one thing he's said or done to back that up. ...anyone sensing a pattern? I said, you don't watch CNN or MSNBC do you? He say, you don't watch Fox do you?

They’re at it again. A slew of A-list celebrities have flocked to Sicily, Italy on private jets and massive yachts to discuss the woes of global warming caused, they say, but things like private jets and massive yachts. The founders of Google invited a a throng of the rich and famous, including former President Barack Obama, Prince Harry, actor Leonardo DiCaprio and singer Katy Perry for a huge party they’ve dubbed Google Camp. “The three-day event will focus on fighting climate change — though it’s unknown how much time the attendees will spend discussing their own effect on the environment,...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The Port Authority says its police officers will not cooperate with ICE officials if immigration raids happen in Pittsburgh. At a Port Authority board meeting on Friday, CEO Katharine Kelleman said in Spanish that everyone is welcome — “Bienvenidos todos a Port Authority.” A spokesman for the Port Authority, Adam Brandolph, said Kelleman wanted to let customers know that Port Authority Police don’t work for ICE. He continued to say that the Port Authority does not want to let its customers live in fear that they’ll be deported just because they’re on a PAT vehicle

By any sane standard, Joe Biden is not a racist. He’s a clod, a creepy leech, terminally dumb, and he says cringy things (including about race), but the idea that he harbors any vicious hatred for people based on their race is really, really far-fetched. Sure, there’s a statistically insignificant chance that Sleepy Floppy Gropey Joe is really Seggy Joe, wistfully recalling the days of segregation and Jim Crow – after all, those are Democrat inventions – but it’s … unlikely. But that doesn’t matter. The Social Justice Whiners who totally dominate the Democrat Party have made sure that neither...

Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools [...] 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: [...] 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of...

"Luke 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed." Growing up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa (farm country) during the 70s and 80s, church sermons often rightly proclaimed the goodness and grace of God for allowing us to be born at this time and in this place....
