Anyone else getting this email garbage from the DNC and team Pelosi...LMAO? Not sure how they got my email address as I've been a registered republican my entire life and I'm 57y/o. Aren't you glad their accomplishments listed below have improved your life? They've drastically changed mine. /s/ ********** Subject: [External] [BULK] Re: Trump's temper tantrum this morning Date: 22 May 2019 14:04 (GMT -07:00) ** Nancy Pelosi :: Speaker of the House ** Donald Trump walked out of Nancy's meeting this morning after only a few minutes, refusing to work together on issues that are important to the country....

An Illinois judge on Thursday ordered "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett's criminal case file unsealed, setting up the release of a wealth of information surrounding the controversial -- and often confusing -- case. The decision came months after Cook County prosecutors dropped charges alleging that the “Empire” actor staged a hate crime attack on himself. Cook County judge Steven G. Watkins vacated the sealing order on Smollett's docs. When the state attorney asked whether they could have more time to redact personal information, Watkins said "act as if the documents were never sealed in the first place."

One of the New York City teens wanted in connection with Saturday's brutal assault of an FDNY firefighter was arrested early Thursday morning, the NYPD officials confirmed to Fox News. Damir Johnson, 17, was charged with one count of second-degree assault after police identified him as a member of the group that assaulted the firefighter, leaving that man with several broken teeth and a concussion. Cops released an image on Wednesday of the six suspects, but they didn't immediately identify which of the teens in the picture was Johnson. Saturday's incident began when the unidentified 38-year-old firefighter, traveling on East...

As Wall Street analysts worry that demand for Tesla vehicles is waning, CEO Elon Musk told employees that the company has received more than 50,000 new orders this quarter. That number was disclosed to all Tesla employees in an email sent late Wednesday, a copy of which was viewed and confirmed authentic by Business Insider. Musk also added that the company could surpass its vehicle delivery record of 90,700 which it set in the fourth quarter of 2018.

It is a remarkable thing that the U.K. and Irish parliaments were able to hypnotize themselves and pass climate emergency legislation when the southern half of the planet has not warmed at all in 120 years. For example, this record of Cape Leeuwin (courtesy of Erl Happ), on the southwest corner of the Australian landmass, shows recent January mean maximum temperature back below the 120 average: The U.K. and Irish parliaments were able to work themselves up into a lather over climate even though parts of the northern hemisphere set new cold records this last winter. A spike in food...

by Sheri Urban On Tuesday, radical Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) went after HUD Secretary Ben Carson, trying to ridicule him with a tweet supporting one of her fellow freshman Democrat colleagues. But she didn't count on Dr. Carson swift and brutal response that lit up Twitter all day. Carson had a contentious exchange with hard-left Congressman Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) during which she insulted him by telling him he was “unqualified” for his job and said he was “carrying the water of what I believe to be one of the most morally bankrupt presidents in our nation’s history.” In...

End of title: and a paid pundit'CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta’s upcoming book has raised eyebrows both inside and outside of the network’s newsroom. The outspoken Acosta is being criticized by insiders and academics alike for further blurring the line between being an unbiased reporter, or a commentator "pushing his personal perspectives." ~snip~ One current CNN employee told Fox News that threats to the free press should obviously be taken seriously and reporters need to seek the truth and report it – but Acosta may no longer be right for the job. “Jim Acosta is, a lot of times,...

Eastern Virginia Medical School released its report into a photo depicting two individuals -- one wearing blackface and the other a KKK robe -- that appeared on the 1984 yearbook page of Gov. Ralph Northam on Wednesday but said they could not "conclusively determine" the identity of either person shown. "With respect to the Photograph on Governor Northam's personal page, we could not conclusively determine the identity of either individual depicted in the Photograph. The Governor himself has made inconsistent public statements in this regard. No individual that we interviewed has told us from personal knowledge that the Governor is...

Isn't it time for "Saturday Night Lies"! Live from Butthurt USA, it's Saturday Night Lies!!!! Tonight's lineup includes Hunter Biden cracks up when stating, "I didn't even have to learn Chinese". Nancy Pelosi in "I'm not really Speaker of the House, but I did stay at Holiday Inn". Chucky Schumer in "What scowl, I've always looked this way!"

And a trip to the border for...

I thought Freepers might want a guide to who's who in European elections, since there are many reasons the parties are unfamiliar: The European Union's parties are comprised of coalitions of various national (local) parties. Since elections are representational there are few reasons for grand, binary parties, like the Democrats and the Republicans in America, to form. The coalitions which do exist typically have platforms which apply only to international issues, and have long wierd names reflecting their hybrid natures and European perspective on issues. So here's a list of coalitions, or coalitions of coalitions, ranked in the approximate order...

President Trump on Thursday blasted Rex Tillerson after The Washington Post reported that the former secretary of State told lawmakers that Russian President Vladimir Putin was better prepared than Trump for a meeting in 2017. "Rex Tillerson, a man who is 'dumb as a rock' and totally ill prepared and ill equipped to be Secretary of State, made up a story (he got fired) that I was out-prepared by Vladimir Putin at a meeting in Hamburg, Germany," Trump tweeted. "I don't think Putin would agree. Look how the U.S. is doing!"

My wife just got a text saying the 12 week check revealed no heartbeat and she was in surgery to remove the dead baby...our hearts are broken for them but we also rejoice that they would never consider an abortion...please pray for them.

A former top aide to Michelle Obama refused to be served a subpoena Wednesday related to her contact with Chicago prosecutor Kim Foxx in the Jussie Smollett case. The subpoena was issued by former Illinois Appellate Judge Sheila O’Brien as part of her request for a special prosecutor to investigate the Cook County state’s attorney’s handling of Smollett’s criminal case, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. O’Brien wants the former first lady’s one-time chief of staff, Tina Tchen, to produce “any and all documents, notes, phone records, texts, tape recordings made or received at any time, concerning [Tchen’s] conversations with Kim Foxx...

A St. John's man accused of possessing child pornography in an unusual case involving what's been described as a child sex doll has been found not guilty. The provincial court trial of Kenneth Harrisson, 54, is believed to have been the first in Canada dealing with child pornography charges involving a sex doll. In his decision Thursday morning, Judge Mark Pike said he believed the doll linked to Harrisson is child pornography, but the Crown hadn't proven Harrisson's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.... ...Harrisson testified in court that he had ordered an adult doll, not the one that arrived in...

Last week on CNN, retired NFL tight end Martellus Bennett and “CNN Tonight” host Don Lemon were discussing members of the Boston Red Sox visiting the White House to celebrate their World Series victory with President Donald Trump in the context of Bennett having opted out of a White House visit when the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl with Bennett as a player. Bennett’s responses spoke to his belief that although many white players in pro sports do show solidarity with black players who decry alleged racism, they cannot understand what black players experience as black men in...

VIDEO Although Hunter Biden's crack pipe is currently sitting in the evidence room of the Prescott Police Department, many years from now it will probably be removed perhaps to end up at a yard sale. Perhaps it could even end up on an Antiques Roadshow program in the 22nd century. At that time it would have historical value due to it having been the crack pipe belonging to the son of presidential candidate Joe Biden.

If you're taking a trip in to or out of the US, border agents currently have free rein to search through your digital devices. Unlike police, agents don't need a warrant to look through your phones, laptops and other electronics. Two US senators are hoping to change that with a bipartisan bill. Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon, and Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, on Wednesday introduced the Protecting Data at the Border Act, which would require agents to obtain a warrant before they can search Americans' devices at the border. The number of electronic searches at...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she wishes President Trump’s family would stage an “intervention” to stop him from his behavior. “That’s up to his family and his Cabinet and his staff in the White House. This is not behavior that rises to the dignity of the office of the president of the United States,” she said. Mrs. Pelosi also referred to the use of “Article 25” — presumably the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, which includes provisions for the Cabinet to remove a president from office. Her comments came a day after she and the president blew up...

May 22, 2019 The Delay and Silence of God I don’t know if you’ve noticed or not, but God doesn’t seem to be in a big hurry about most things. This has been a hard lesson for me to learn. We live in a loud, fast-paced world, one of constantly breaking news. Crisis and urgency always seem to be the order of the day. Instant communication and quick responses are expected, if not demanded. On the national level, there is little reporting by the media before there is a rush to analyze, comment, and then demand a response and plan...
