WASHINGTON — President Trump lashed out at a leading African-American congressman on Saturday, calling him “a brutal bully” who represents a Baltimore-based district that has become a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” where “no human being would want to live.” Mr. Trump’s attack on Representative Elijah E. Cummings, a Democrat from Maryland and leading critic of the president, parroted a segment that aired earlier in the morning on “Fox & Friends.” The president suggested that the congressman was a hypocrite for criticizing conditions in migrant detention centers at the southwestern border when his own district is blighted. Mr. Trump...

Each was accused of a transgression against the notorious MS-13 street gang. Each would meet their end in a manner federal investigators described as “medieval.” One by one, the victims were lured to remote locations: an abandoned building in downtown Los Angeles; an empty rooftop in Hollywood; a quiet park in the San Fernando Valley. Each was accused of a transgression against the notorious MS-13 street gang. Each would meet their end in a manner federal investigators described as “medieval.” In one case, court records show, a 16-year-old boy was lured to a canyon and beaten to death in 2017....

Democratic lawmakers are condemning President Trump's attacks against House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), calling his Saturday morning remarks "racist" and beneath the office of the presidency. Trump accused the longtime congressman of being a “brutal bully” and sought to cast Cummings's district — which includes part of Baltimore — as “dangerous” and “disgusting,” claiming that the Maryland city was "corrupt" and that "no human being would want to live there." Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) denounced Trump's "racist attacks" against Cummings, praising the representative as a "champion in the Congress and the country for civil rights and...

President Donald Trump took to Twitter this morning to chide Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) for shouting down acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan over conditions in detention camps during a hearing last week. We’re doing our level best in a challenging —," McAleenan said before being cut off by Cummings, who went on a two-minute rant about border conditions. "What does that mean? What does that mean when a child is sitting in their own feces, can’t take a shower? Come on, man," Cummings said to McAleenan. "None of us would have our children in that position. They are human...

Three men were shot and killed overnight, Baltimore police said, pushing the number of homicides so far this year past 180.

Everything is fine and dandy! So says House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who tweeted out a picture of her and smiling sparring partner Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to prove that, despite the two sniping back and forth, that all is well in the Democratic “family.” Pelosi declared they’re BFFs after the duo had a tête-à-tête Friday after months of acrimony, and the veteran speaker later compared her caucus to a squabbling family that at times needs to get together to clear the air. “In our caucus we have our differences. Respect that instead of making a big issue of it. Respect that. Those...

A video out of Evreux, France shows Algerian migrants tearing down a statue of General Charles de Gaulle while cheering vociferously. The statue is wrapped in Algerian flags as fireworks fly by and the sound of motobike engines being revved can be heard. Damien Rieu 🔴 À #Évreux, la statue du Général de Gaulle a été frappée, recouverte de drapeaux étrangers et arrachée par les supporters de l’#Algérie. Voici la vidéo. At one point, one of the Algerians attempts to drop-kick the statue before it is finally pushed down to the cheers of onlookers. The footage was shot in the...

Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen? Investigate this corrupt mess immediately! 7:24 AM · Jul 27, 2019·Twitter for iPhone

Pakistan: Muslim kidnaps 14-year-old Christian girl, forces her to convert to Islam and marry him JUL 27, 2019 4:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER And as for the forced conversions, the Qur’an says that “there is no compulsion in religion,” (2:256), but what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig, the journalists who were kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam — even...

“Let me just be very clear,” Kamala Harris tells Meghan McCain right before she does the exact opposite. It’s rare to see an experienced politician contradict him/herself in the same appearance, but Harris manages to do almost within the same breath. When McCain declares that Harris is for decriminalization, Harris objects, saying “I am not in favor of decriminalizing.” In the very next sentence, Harris then says “we’re not going to treat people who are undocumented and cross borders as criminals.” If that’s Harris’ idea of “very clear,” it explains a lot about her campaign:

Afghanistan’s former border police chief: “60 to 70% of the land is controlled by the Islamic Emirate” JUL 27, 2019 12:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER Afghanistan has border police? How racist? In any case, the Taliban is trying to establish a Sharia state in Afghanistan. If we stay there for another year, and then leave, the Taliban will take advantage of our absence to try to expand its domains further. If we stay there another 10 years, or 25 years, or 100 years, or 1000 years, and then leave, the Taliban will take advantage of our absence to try to...

A Harvard Law professor who teaches a class on judgment wouldnÂ’t seem like an obvious mark, would he? It was just supposed to have been a quick Saturday-morning errand to buy picture hooks. On March 7, 2015, Harvard Law professor Bruce Hay, then 52, was in Tags Hardware in Cambridge, Massachusetts, near his home, when a young woman with long reddish-brown hair approached him to ask where she could find batteries. It was still very much winter, and, once the woman got his attention, he saw that underneath her dark woolen coat and perfectly tied scarf she was wearing a...

In an unexpected move, free speech activist and Post Millennial columnist Lindsay Shepherd has been reinstated by Twitter. Twitter first suspended Shepherd after she got into an argument with a notorious trans woman named Jessica Yaniv who has targeted the businesses of immigrant women who refused to wax her male genitals by lodging frivolous human rights complaints and allegedly sexually harassing multiple young girls. As a result of calling Yaniv a “ugly fat man,” Twitter decided to permanently ban Shepherd. This deplatforming led to a series of events that eventually resulted in the world paying attention to the malicious activism...

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, ALASKA — It's a sacred annual mission: a group of mortuary affairs recovery experts arrives each June at a glacier high in Alaska's Chugach mountain range to continue the hunt for the remains of 52 troops killed in an Air Force transport crash 66 years ago. The C-124 was carrying 42 airmen, eight soldiers, one sailor and one Marine when it crashed into Mount Gannett on Nov. 22, 1952 as it traveled from McChord Air Force Base, Washington to what is now Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. Winter had descended on the treacherous mountain range, and no remains...

Pleasantries — specifically “good morning” — are banned, and commoners are forbidden from placing letters in the royal mailbox. “It’s extraordinary. We’ve never heard anything like it. Everyone who lives on the estate works for the royals and knows how to behave respectfully,” one resident scoffed. “We aren’t told how to behave around the Queen like this. She’s very happy for people to greet her.”

I, as a long time watcher of FR before signing up as this screen name, have been musing about how revival in America could be sparked. The first thing, humbly submitted as I see it, would be faith followed up with prayers. God is omnipotent and can, as we might understand it in human terms, schedule Christians into an era to join those already there and who are praying to see more Christians. Knowing about human souls from before they are conceived, this is one of the easier tasks for deity. John Knox era Scotland might be an example of...
