*SNIP* Pelosi is at the height of her power, having recaptured the House, dispatched an attempted coup of her leadership, and faced down the president in a very public, extremely high-stakes fight. Her approval rating has risen eight points since November, and now sits higher than it has been in more than a decade. *SNIP* RS: So what do you think your chief purpose is now, in this era of divided government? The wisdom of our founders was that we would have co-equal branches of government. I think in a large sense, my responsibility now — and it seems to...

Full headline: Winning: Trump, Xi close to ‘trade deal’ as Chinese farmers warn government they’ll need subsidies to compete with U.S. farm productsAs official Washington preoccupies itself with the latest alleged “crisis” involving some aspect of the Trump administration, the White House has been quietly but steadily making progress on its key trade objectives. Last year POTUS Donald Trump announced that his negotiators had reached a deal with Mexico and Canada to rework NAFTA into a new United States Mexico Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA). The agreement awaits action in the U.S. Congress and the legislatures of the other two countries,...

In Kansas, one man, Nathaniel Grisby, had his dying wish, to warn future generations about the Democratic Party, fulfilled. 124 years ago, this warning was etched on his gravestone in accordance with his final wishes. “Through this inscription I wish to enter my dying protest against what is called the Democratic party I have watched it closely since the days of Jackson and know that all the misfortunes of our nation has come to it through this so called party therefore beware of this party of treason."

Just curious as to how many people on FR have been banned by Breitbart. I've listened to their morning radio show on Patriot for years, but only visited their site maybe twice a week on average and commented even less frequently. I went to their web site this morning and found out that I'm banned and ALL of my posts ever were removed from their site. I initially thought I was banned for flaming a liberal troll (they have a LOT of them) or for questioning Obama's sexuality and "Michelle's" real gender, but it appears that I was banned for...

Weeks before announcing her run for president, Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) released a picture book called “Superheroes Are Everywhere.” The book is a simplified version of her life story that focuses on the “superheroes” who inspired her: her mother, her best friends, her first-grade teacher, Thurgood Marshall and others. In November, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) released “Bold & Brave,” which celebrates, in a less personal way, the women who paved the way for her political career, including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony and Ida B. Wells.(snip) Gillibrand’s book is an odd hybrid: In size and color, it’s perfect...

SELMA, Ala. — Speaking Sunday at the historic Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church, former Secretary of State, First Lady, and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton suggested a key Supreme Court decision may have cost her the White House.(snip) “I was the first person who ran for president without the protection of the Voting Rights Act and I will tell you, it makes a really big difference,” Clinton said. Clinton prefaced her comments by discussing the history of the Voting Rights Act, which was passed in 1965. The law required federal oversight of voting in nine southern states and an array...

“Church-Speak” - Strange Things Church People Say Msgr. Charles Pope • March 3, 2019 • Many groups have a tendency to use words that make sense to their members but are unintelligible to outsiders. I have sometimes had to decode “Church-speak” for recent converts.For example, one time I proudly announced, “RCIA classes will begin next week, so if you know anyone who is interested in attending please fill out an information card on the table just outside the sacristy door.” I thought I’d been perfectly clear, but then a new member approached me after Mass to inquire about the...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem (Old Testament) 1 Samuel 9 Samuel Anoints Saul 9 There was a Benjamite, a man of standing, whose name was Kish son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bekorath, the son of Aphiah of Benjamin. 2 Kish had a son named Saul, as handsome a young man as could be found anywhere in Israel, and he was a head taller than anyone else. 3 Now the donkeys belonging to Saul’s father Kish were lost, and Kish said to his son Saul, “Take one of the servants with you and go and look for...

The best future of the internet may be peer-to-peer. The Beaker Browser offers a glimpse. When Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, he envisioned a single software package that allowed everyone to create and read pages across the internet. Much has happened in the intervening years, but this idea is starting to come back. Many of the web's founders now realize that they didn't sign up for a web dominated by a few giant corporations relying on collecting massive amounts of data on its users to sell to advertisers. The Beaker Browser project is creating a decentralized peer-to-peer web...

A pair of cracked windows have been discovered at San Francisco’s Salesforce Tower. It’s another stroke of bad luck for the city’s newest architectural marvels.

Democrat Kamala Harris, is vehemently #MeToo, but has memory problems about the $400,000 Cali shelled out for the disgusting sex harassment behavior of Larry Wallace, her handpicked L/E director....$700,000 Cali taxpayers paid out for sex-harassing activities of Kamala's other lieutenants during her tenure--2011-2017. Disclosed weeks after Harris launched her presidential bid, her record now has new scrutiny. Incidents included inappropriate touching, workers feeling uncomfortable with comments and actions of others. Harris says she employed 5,000 employees, so that's quite a payout over a mere six-years.....but she never heard of it. She was the state's top law enforcer, and she knew...

U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., is pushing an effort to ban former members of Congress from lobbying once they are out of office. Scott announced on Friday that he is backing U.S. Sen. Mike Braun’s, R-Ind., “Banning Lobbying and Safeguarding Trust (BLAST) Act” to ensure a lifetime ban preventing former members of Congress from lobbying. “I’m proud to introduce this bill that imposes a permanent ban on members of Congress becoming lobbyists,” Scott said on Friday. “Rather than serving the public, too many in Washington spend their political careers preparing for a lucrative job at a DC lobbying firm where...

Ranching on the Border The U.S. border with Mexico is just under 2,000 miles. Look at a land ownership map of New Mexico and Arizona and you will see that much of that land is federally owned, which automatically involves federal lands ranchers in the many border issues currently being discussed. What is it really like to ranch on this border today? In a recent interview Russell Johnson, a fourth-generation rancher from near Columbus, New Mexico explained the problems he has experienced: ° People have broken into buildings and homes ° Cattle theft is a big issue since much...

Debra Miller considers herself and her husband Jimi lucky. “We were only homeless 19 months,” she said Friday, recounting how she and her husband were evicted in 2010 when she became ill, lost her job and was unable to cover the cost of rent.

Miller is a member of the Lift the Ban Coalition — a group of community organizations whose fight to repeal Illinois’ two-decade ban on rent control is gaining momentum. She joined dozens of protesters Friday who demonstrated outside the downtown office of the Chicago...
