President Biden visited a Sheetz gas station in Pittsburgh on Wednesday to little fanfare. Customers sat at the counter while the president conducted his photo-op with the employees and made his exit.

We reported how during the photo op for the swearing-in of Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX), that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared to shove Flores’ young daughter, giving her an elbow to the side. But the move was caught and widely shared on Twitter.Then Mayra Flores responded and confirmed that indeed, her daughter had been pushed.I am so proud of my strong, beautiful daughter for not allowing this to faze her.

The nation's top general said Thursday he was wrong for taking part in President Donald Trump's controversial church photo op last week. "I should not have been there," Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said in an address during a National Defense University commencement ceremony.

Zondervan has released a hollow Bible for politicians who want to use the Word of God as a political prop. The Bibles are designed to look authentic and holy from the outside but are completely empty on the inside, just like most politicians' faith. They are much lighter than an actual Bible, making them easy to pick up and reducing the risk of strains. They can also be used to hold secret things like notes from your crush or alcohol. An additional benefit of the Bible is that politicians won't risk opening it and having their lives changed. "No longer...

The well-publicized "caravan" of Central American migrants has arrived in large numbers at our border near Tijuana, Mexico, despite MSNBC's Joe Scarborough insisting the caravan is like a tale of Martians: "They're not comin'." They are attempting to climb over and through walls, and CNN's Jim Acosta had lectured the president saying it would never happen. TV networks, over-reliant on emotional images and under-reliant on facts, are presenting this as they present everything else: as an outrage caused by ... President Trump. A radical group called Pueblo Sin Fronteras organizes hundreds of people who clash violently at the border, and...

... According to this, Ms. Gerster has not only met with Clinton in the past, but worked for her, too:

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama cancelled a photo op with President-Elect Donald Trump and future First Lady Melania Trump at the White House on Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported. The Obamas became strong campaigners for Hillary Clinton during the presidential race and held rallies for her around the country. In 2008, after President Obama won his first election to the presidency, President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush welcomed the Obamas to the White House in what has become a tradition, and took a picture of the two couples.

Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was "contemptuous" toward security agents and even put officials traveling with her in “unnecessary danger” by pursuing a photo op for her "election campaign" in a risky area of Jakarta during a 2009 visit, according to a security agent interviewed by the FBI. The allegations surfaced in documents released Monday by the FBI in connection with the investigation into Clinton's private email practices. Much of the documents center on internal disputes over email classification levels, but the interview with the unnamed diplomatic security agent offers a window into how her own detail viewed her actions...

Seriously, is this the 4th day in a row that Obama has commandeered our TVs to promote his agenda and spew hatred at his enemies??

For a man “not interested in photo ops,” President Barack Obama sure finds himself in plenty. Raising more than a few eyebrows for not planning to attend Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s funeral on Saturday — an unprecedented act — Obama is seen carrying a “huge binder of materials on possible SCOTUS nominees,” as noted by CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller.

The Furr family really loves dogs. This year they set up a table for the 'kids' -- their pup and seven of his friends. They were served a beautiful selection of rawhide bones. Perhaps the most amazing thing about this photo is how the Kentucky couple were able to get eight dogs to pose perfectly for a picture!

Once again the mainstream media peddled the spoon-fed propaganda that world leaders "led the march" to honor the victims of the Paris shootings last week. Glorious photo-ops of Merkel, Hollande, Poroshenko, David Cameron (oh, and not Barack Obama) were smeared across front pages hailing the "unity in outrage." However, as appears to be the case in so many 'events' in the new normal managed thinking in which we live, The Independent reports, French TV has exposed the reality of the 'photo-op' seen-around-the-world: the 'dignitaries' were not in fact "at" the Paris rallies but had the photo taken on an empty...
