London Mayor Sadiq Khan has claimed the democratically elected leader of the United States, president Donald Trump, does not deserve a state visit to the United Kingdom. Khan, who last year disrespectfully approved a giant balloon of the president wearing a diaper to be flown over the British capital, told British radio station LBC that Trump was not "in the same class" as former President Barack Obama.

-In a recent article on AmmoLand News, a case was presented as to why stockpiling of more than a few hundred rounds of ammunition was unnecessary. It was an interesting take, but much too limited, in my experience. In the end, the authors put in a disclaimer: stockpile as much as you want.The self-imposed limitations of the presentation were this: They only considered four reasons to stockpile ammunition. They limited the scenarios applicable to those reasons. Here is a quick critique of the four reasons they listed not to stockpile ammunition: 1. Self-Defense – not unreasonable, in that a...

[Catholic Caucus] Pope Francis: Clericalism Began with the Apostles ROME — Christians must embrace the “imbalance” of the gospel rather than trying to put everything in order, Pope Francis said Thursday, which leads to a “dictatorship of functionalism.” It is an error to try to “fix” things and impose order on the world or the Church, the pope told participants in a diocesan assembly in Rome, adding that it is a “temptation” to think we can “reorganize the city, reorganize the diocese, put everything in order.” Having everything in order converts the Church into a “museum,” Francis said, which would...

Was listening to the news and noticed a segment about DNA testing of children to make sure they were not being rented/bought/sold to gain access at the border. Most don't have any form of identification at all, and no records. Bottom line is that it takes time and money to process and verify each child over and over again. So --- why not just microchip them. Microchips are now available for less that $3 for each very tiny microchip. Then all they will need at the border is a scanner. Chip positive = trafficked child --- or at least previously...

Open-records litigation by the conservative group Citizens United and superb investigative journalism by The Hill’s John Solomon have unearthed three critical State Department documents:

It's been almost a month since one of the great structures of the Western world - the Cathedral of Notre Dame - caught on fire. At first there were a flurry of reports about the possible causes of the fire. But then, next to nothing. It seems like the entire event has disappeared down a rabbit hole.

A bird that had previously gone extinct came back to life thanks to a rare evolutionary process known as "iterative evolution." The white-throated rail bird can presently be found on the island of Aldabra. Early fossils of the bird suggest it lived there thousands of years ago and died out because it could not fly to higher ground when rising sea levels threatened its safety. But thanks to "iterative evolution," which evolves similar body parts due to genetics from a similar ancestor, the bird came back from the dead. **SNIP** In order to make the determination that the extinct bird...

China’s intensified tariff war with the Trump administration is threatening Beijing’s ambition to transform itself into the dominant player in global technology. The United States is a vital customer and source of technology for Chinese makers of electronics, medical equipment and other high-tech exports — industries that the ruling Communist Party sees as the heart of its economic future.

GOTTA LOVE TEXANS: Look what they did when radical Wisconsin atheist group demands that crosses be removed from courthouse Elected officials in an East Texas community defiantly illuminated the crosses on their courthouse after an atheist organization told them to take them down. The move came after the county judge and commissioners voted unanimously to keep the four crosses on the county building. Breitbart News reported that the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) complained to San Jacinto County public officials about the prominent display of the “Latin cross[es].” The foundation issued an “Action Alert” to its supporters on May...

Rep. Adam Schiff on Sunday predicted special counsel Robert Mueller will testify before Congress about his Russia investigation as Democrats and the White House square off over subpoenas. Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said it’s Congress’ “first priority” to have Mueller appear now that a copy of his redacted report has been made public. “I am convinced it’s going to happen. That is inexorable. The American people have every right to hear what the man who did the investigation has to say and we now know we certainly can’t rely on the attorney general who misrepresented his...

Sen. Graham: The media could care less about anything to do with Clinton they just want to 'get' Trump. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham exclusively told "Sunday Morning Futures" that he is working to declassify a sensitive "document" that definitively proves that authorities knew the Steele dossier -- which the FBI used to justify the secret surveillance of a former Trump aide -- lacked any substantial independent corroboration. "There's a document that's classified that I'm gonna try to get unclassified that takes the dossier -- all the pages of it -- and it has verification to one side," Graham...

Some of the missing engine parts are very important for the investigation into the incident. Accordingly, at this time, the hunt continues for the missing Air France A380 engine fragments in Greenland. As CNN reported, “the entire front part of the engine, including the large fan and engine’s casing, completely sheared away.” the French investigation authority BEA has stated that “Quite early in the investigation, it was established that the recovery of the...

I’m a free-trader and I hate tariffs — which are consumer taxes — but if ever there were a right time to impose punitive tariffs, it is now, and it is against China. President Trump is on the side of the angels on this one, and this is the right moment to shut down China’s abusive trade practices forever. Start with the basic facts: The average tariff that we imposed on China when Trump entered the White House was about 4 percent. China’s tariffs on us were about 10 percent and, even when including the 10 percent tariff that Trump...
