Former Vice President Joe Biden, while a senator in 2006, advocated for a southern border wall and punishment for employers who hired illegal immigrants. Biden told a South Carolina rotary club that he voted for a border fence despite other Democrats opposing the measure. "Folks, I voted for a fence, I voted, and unlike most Democrats -- and some of you won't like it -- I voted for 700 miles of fence," he said, in the video unearthed by CNN. "But, let me tell you, we can build a fence 40 stories high -- unless you change the dynamic in...

London Mayor Sadiq Khan is finally getting a strong message from Queen Elizabeth II on his openly hostile views of President Trump. The Muslim mayor, who has been a vocal critic of the president, was noticeably left off of the invitation list for the banquet planned in honor of Trump’s state visit to the United Kingdom next month. “The mayor has not been invited to the state banquet,” Khan’s spokesman, Jonathan Weisgard, told Newsweek. The Queen has apparently opted not to invite the London Mayor to Trump’s state banquet at Buckingham Palace as he makes a three-day state visit in...

OK, so I buy a little v_____ every once in a while off the internet. Maybe once a year. I start looking again and it seems every site has stopped taking credit cards and now accepts bitcoin or other complicated venus like western union or the like. Bitcoin, talk about complicated. Ever since it came into existance I likened it to buying a bit of air. Literally, not figuratively. But does somebody have experience in doing transactions using bitcoin? I poked around and it seems like you have to create an account on this bitcoin site and then buy some...

Another week, another school shooting, although this latest one in the Denver suburb of Highlands Ranch has quickly turned into a religion story. Well, it’s a religion story if reporters note crucial details and ask basic questions. As I scanned various stories, I learned there was very little news about the shooters, especially some of their more controversial aspects. One was LGBTQ; the other had Satanic symbols on his car, yet that didn’t make it into many media accounts. (As for Kendrick Castillo, the 18-year-old who died at the scene, he was an only child. I cannot imagine his parents’...

Democrats claim to be the party of women. They claim to represent minorities and their interests. One thing they can't deny: numbers, the cold, hard data. Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing data has shown that more women donated to President Donald Trump's campaign in the first quarter of the year than any of the 2020 Democrats. 10,375 women donated to Trump. The Democrat who came in behind Trump was Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), but even then she only had 3,850 women donate to her campaign. According to the Center for Responsive Politics' website, Open Secrets, the majority of Trump's female...

On this day in 1934, a massive storm sends millions of tons of topsoil flying from across the parched Great Plains region of the United States as far east as New York, Boston and Atlanta. At the time the Great Plains were settled in the mid-1800s, the land was covered by prairie grass, which held moisture in the earth and kept most of the soil from blowing away even during dry spells. By the early 20th century, however, farmers had plowed under much of the grass to create fields. The U.S. entry into World War I in 1917 caused a...

The father of Colorado school shooting suspect Maya “Alec” McKinney is an illegal immigrant and serial felon, according to a new report.

Aides to Hillary Clinton were on high alert in January 2011. Justin Cooper, the man who oversaw the secretary of state's home-based email servers, sent a warning to Huma Abedin.

A meme posted to Facebook claimed that “nearly every state that has legalized [marijuana] has also legislated that you lose your right to own a gun if you are prescribed it, or buy it recreationally.”“Pot legalization is turning out to be a back-door way for the government to get you to voluntarily give up your gun rights,” reads the image.

“Shut the f**k up right now. This is wrong. This is triggering! You’re not an innocent human being. You’re a terrible person.” Those were the words of Jillian Ward, a 19-year-old student from the University of North Carolina. Ward’s outrage started when a group of pro-life activists visited the UNC-Chapel Hill campus to bring attention to what abortion truly looks like.

A research project spearheaded by Sahotra Sarkar, a University of Chicago-educated professor at the University of Texas at Austin, revealed the 25 counties most at-risk for a widespread measles outbreak, like those seen in Washington, Oregon and New York. That’s based largely on the number of airplane flights to Chicago from global destinations where parents increasingly don’t have their children vaccinated, she said. “As we know O’Hare is a huge transfer point for travel within the United States, not to mention all of the international flights,” she said. “I’m not surprised that their modeling would’ve predicted that Cook County and...

The criticism has come from across the political spectrum, from President Donald Trump, a Republican, to progressive Democrats including U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president.

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim Judges 2:11 When your political party is actually a Marxist Cult you do not have to have any new ideas of results you simply have to spout religious commandments.
