The House passed a resolution Thursday calling on Justice Department (DOJ) officials to release special counsel Robert Mueller’s highly anticipated report about his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Lawmakers unanimously passed the nonbinding resolution in a 420-0 vote. Four Republicans — Reps. Paul Gosar (Ariz.), Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Thomas Massie (Ky.), and Justin Amash (Mich.) — voted present. “I’ve said to millions of Americans on television that I support releasing the Mueller report," Gaetz told The Hill on his decision to vote present. “I take specific exception to the elements of the resolution noting praise for Mueller,...

Apple likes to tout its smartwatch’s heart-tracking features as being able to potentially save a user’s life one day. But a man in Nimbin, New South Wales, Australia, may owe his life to his smartphone, which stopped an arrow fired by an assailant while he was trying to snap a photo. According to the NSW Police Force, the victim pulled into his driveway on the morning of March 13, 2019, only to notice a man standing outside his property armed with a bow and arrow when he got out of his car. That’s not something you see every day, even...

Better back off, Beto while the going’s still good When rich kid, legend-in-his-own mind Beto O’Rourke swiped Hillary Clinton’s born-to-be-president mantra, using the concept as his own, he cut voting masses an unintended break, by, in effect, setting off soon to be Democrat Cannibalism. The roomful of Democrat presidential hopefuls will soon be voraciously eating their own. While he may have tried to go for a collegial look in his sweater when announcing his run for the 2020 presidency, Senators Liz Warren, Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand and others will be bound to see him as a silver-spoon, “WHITE MAN OF...

“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34 KJV).

Texas politician Beto O’Rourke announced his intention to run for president in the 2020 election on Thursday morning, the roll-out of which included a very in-depth Vanity Fair cover story. However, his big news may have been overshadowed by the true star of the O’Rourke household: his dog, Artemis. In the Annie Leibovitz-lensed shots of O’Rourke and his family, Artemis steals the show, showing herself to be an elegant and self-actualized pooch who might be the charismatic running partner that O’Rourke will need to give him an edge over the many, many other Democrats who have thrown their hats in...

Posted on March 13, 2019March 13, 2019 by Msgr. Charles Pope Why Does Jesus Call Us Wicked? In the Gospel for today’s Mass (Thursday of the First Week of Lent) Jesus says,If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him? (Lk 11:13)I received an e-mail once, regarding this verse:“This line bugs me. I think I know the larger point that Jesus makes here, and/or perhaps it’s poorly translated, but it seems a bit harsh for Jesus...

Minnesota has been Conquered! Meet Mohamud Noor the newly elected Democrat member who replaced Ilhan Omar’s old seat in Minnesota legislature He was the 1st Somali man to be elected to a State house. Noor didn't feel the need to speak English because his constituency is Somali

I wanted to play Walmart against Amazon to get the cheapest bicycle tire-tubes so I can take my grandchildren bike riding. (Pithy-Stickers came ripe in September, I told the kids to stay off the dirt, they rode on dirt, they got flats, I stayed off the dirt, I didn't get a flat.) I used the search term "cheapest bicycle tubes online walmart amazon". I had to go 3 pages down before I could find anything by WalMart, and it didn't mention bicycle parts at all. The fix is in.

The software fix that Boeing said it is working on could take as long as six months, according to Bank of America. Boeing earlier this week said a software change is in the works as well as updates to pilot manuals and training and the Federal Aviation Administration said it would mandate those changes by April. “Once Boeing identifies the issue on the 737 MAX, the most likely scenario, in our view, is that the company will take about 3-6 months to come up with a fix and certify the fix,” the bank’s analyst Ronald Epstein said in a note...

An appellate court in New York has rejected President Donald Trump’s assertion that a sitting president cannot be sued in state court -- a ruling stemming from a defamation lawsuit filed by a former "The Apprentice" contestant who accused the president of groping and kissing her in 2007. Summer Zervos' lawsuit is now allowed to proceed with the prospect of the president having to sit for a deposition.

The U.S. college admissions scandal that erupted this week has triggered private litigation accusing rich, well-connected parents of buying spots for their children at prestigious schools, and keeping children of less wealthy parents out. A $500 billion civil lawsuit filed by a parent on Wednesday in San Francisco accused 45 defendants of defrauding and inflicting emotional distress on everyone whose "rights to a fair chance at entrance to college" were stolen through their alleged conspiracy. In the largest known college admissions scandal in U.S. history, federal prosecutors on Tuesday said a California company made about $25 million by charging parents...

Now is the time for impeachment. People in D.C. ask: What would it mean for our 2020 strategy? But I ask what it means for the people I grew up with, the residents of my district, and what it means for all of us, as Americans, to have Donald Trump remain our president. Trump’s years in office are years we cannot get back. But more dangerous than the loss of time is allowing Trump’s precedents to take root. In 2017, Trump pardoned Joe Arpaio, an Arizona sheriff who was ordered by a federal court to stop racially profiling and was...

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has indicted Paul Manafort for mortgage fraud and more than a dozen other state felonies. This is a nakedly political prosecution. Democrats, who run the Empire State, are apoplectic that President Trump could pardon his former campaign manager, who has been sentenced to 90 months in prison in the Mueller probe. Well, as the New York Times notes, the New York state charges filed Wednesday are based on bank loans that were part of the fraud charges brought by Robert Mueller in the Virginia case. The Times says that “the Manhattan prosecutors deferred their inquiry...

The number of civilians who have been stopped, questioned, and frisked by the NYPD has dropped dramatically during the de Blasio Administration, going from a high of nearly 700,000 in 2011 when Mayor Bloomberg was in charge, to a low of 12,000 in 2017, a new report shows.

A subway poster advertising a commemorative book on Ruth Bader Ginsburg was defaced with anti-Semitic and other slurs. The NYPD's hate crimes unit is investigating slur-ridden "DIE" graffiti scrawled on a Brooklyn subway station poster of Ruth Bader Ginsburg after a rider flagged it on Twitter Tuesday. "What is going to be done about this?" the rider captioned in her tweet, tagging the mayor's office, the MTA and NYPD among other accounts. She said it was spotted at the Nassau Avenue G train stop. "DIE" in all capital letters is scrawled in black marker across Ginsburg's forehead on the poster;...

Is this the great reckoning for higher education? Did it take “Aunt Becky” from “Full House” to finally wake a generation to the idea college – especially expensive, elite colleges - are nothing more than the educational version of time shares in Cancun? Let’s hope. Years ago, I remember discussing college plans with my friends and parents. I was an aspiring radio personality. My focus in high school was exclusively media and performance. As I look back on that time, I remember EVERYONE telling me why I HAD to go to “BIG COLLEGE X” because EVERYONE knew that’s where you...

Nearly a Dozen Real Estate Honchos Charged in College Cheating Scheme Nearly a dozen real estate CEOs were among the nearly 50 people charged in a nationwide scheme to cheat on college entrance exams to get children into elite colleges, federal prosecutors said. The mostly California-based suspects, which include a former Cushman & Wakefield broker and the former CEO of investment management firm Pimco, allegedly bribed coaches and school administrators to gain admissions into schools like Yale, Stanford, USC and Georgetown, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Boston announced this morning. From 2011 to 2019, prosecutors said that William Singer, 58,...

An internal chart prepared by federal investigators working on the so-called "Midyear Exam" probe into Hillary Clinton's emails, exclusively reviewed by Fox News, contained the words "NOTE: DOJ not willing to charge this" next to a key statute on the mishandling of classified information. The notation appeared to contradict former FBI Director James Comey's repeated claims that his team made its decision that Clinton should not face criminal charges independently. Fox News has confirmed the chart served as a critical tip that provided the basis for Texas Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe's explosive questioning of former FBI lawyer Lisa Page last...
