Alheimer's? Yes! That's just the ticket. Since the Mueller Report definitely showed that there was no Trump-Russia collusion, impeachment is no longer an option. So what to do? Why, pretend that President Donald Trump is in the early stages of Alzheimer's and suggest his removal via the 25th Amendment. That was the wild idea of Nicolle Wallace and her MSNBC panel, including Al Sharpton, on her Deadline: White House show on Friday. The funniest thing about this fantasy is they think the big roadblock to it happening is that his cabinet is not intact.

<p>Mark Twain is known as a "great American author", but not enough Americans have firsthand knowledge of his best work.</p> <p>In this vanity, I hope to interest you in rediscovering this witty social critic and humorist.</p> <p>I'm probably like you: I read a bit of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn in grade school.  At the time, those American-slang "classics" didn't thrill me, and maybe it's because those books were not written for kids anyway.</p>

Songs of Praise has screened the show's first ever gay wedding as part of a drive to modernise the programme. Presenters of the BBC One show have vowed that they are “not afraid of controversy” as they broadcast a wedding which is currently banned in the Church of England. The Sunday afternoon show, which has been running since 1961, was traditionally a “sort of hymn sandwich”, presenter of more than three decades Pam Rhodes said. But now, which a magazine format an on screen cast which includes soprano Katherine Jenkins and JB Gill, the former frontman of boy-band JLS, the...

If Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar had made their visit to “Palestine,” their time would have been devoted exclusively to bashing Israel. Their attacks would have combined American-style leftism with Palestinian religious solidarity. And yet, as Scott has pointed out more than once, there are obvious tensions between Islam and the contemporary Left, as embodied by the Squad. What branch of Islam is it, exactly, that celebrates abortion, homosexuality and transgenderism?[snip]The Palestinian Authority has banned members of the Palestinian Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community from carrying out any activities in the West Bank. The ban came after the...

There have been of late a splurge of populist history books damning Constantine the Great as the villain of the piece. Almost without exception they have drawn their picture of this most complex and complicated of late-antique Roman emperors from secondhand, clichéd and hackneyed books of an older generation, adding their own clichés in the process. Constantine has been sketched luridly, as the man who corrupted Christianity either by financial or military means. At long last we have here, in Peter Leithart, a writer who knows how to tell a lively story but is also no mean shakes as a...

In blue Seattle, Trump supporters are starting to come out of hiding Aug. 16, 2019 at 7:00 pm Updated Aug. 17, 2019 at 2:39 pm When word got out during the last presidential election that Seattle developer Martin Selig would be supporting Donald Trump, the blowback from our liberal town, he said, was “stunning.”… In reaction, Selig, a billionaire, retreated from any affiliation with Trump in 2016 and said he wouldn’t even vote for him. It had become problematic just getting along in the city while wearing a MAGA hat.… With nearly 15 months to go before the 2020 election,...

During Saturday morning's "State of the Union" on CNN, host Jake Tapper asked 2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg about President Donald Trump's so-called "racism.""Do you think it's a racist act to cast a vote for President Trump in 2020?" Tapper asked."At best it means looking the other way on racism," Buttigieg replied. "You look at what he said in that rally. You got no choice but to vote for him. And if you look at the numbers, basically what he's saying is, 'Alright. I want you to look the other way on the race issue, tolerate the negativity, accept the...

Live Action News recently reported on a disturbing Snapchat story from Teen Vogue instructing teens on how to get an abortion without parents’ permission or knowledge. The snaps were posted last weekend following an article by the same name. In the article, advice columnist Nona Willis Aronowitz responded to the question, “I’m 16, I’m pregnant, and I don’t want to be. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to get an abortion without my parents’ permission, but I’m really scared to tell them because they are both against abortion. What should I do?” Is this a real question from a 16-year-old?...

We're on a Mississippi cruise from Minneapolis to New Orleans. Going to write a little synopsis after we get home. Today we spent touring St. Louis and was amazed. What a vibrant, busy, active and accommodating city. So much so I wanted to post this tiny bit. One could come here and spend a week touring in a lot more detail. I don't have my laptop on much so I might not be able to respond to entries but can read them on my tablet.

Despite being one of the poorest nations in the world, Afghanistan may be sitting on one of the richest troves of minerals in the world, valued at nearly $1 trillion, scientists say. Afghanistan, a country nearly the size of Texas, is loaded with minerals deposited by the violent collision of the Indian subcontinent with Asia. The U.S. Geological Survey began inspecting what mineral resources Afghanistan had after U.S.-led forces drove the Taliban from power in the country in 2004.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D-MI) grandmother hit back at President Trump this week for calling her the “real winner” after Tlaib chose not to visit her in Israel. “Trump tells me I should be happy Rashida is not coming,” Muftia Tlaib reportedly said. “May God ruin him.”

FULL TITLE: Book Store Closes Down So It Won’t Have to Collect Taxes for New York, Which Legalized Abortions Up to Birth New York bookstore owner Jon Speed made national news in January with his protest of a radical new pro-abortion law in his state. Speed closed his bookstore, The Book Scout in Syracuse, for a day so that he would not have to collect state sales taxes to support the killing of unborn babies. Now, he plans to close his business completely and leave the state. In a post Thursday on Facebook, he blamed the “tyranny of the state”...

Ben Howe is angry at evangelicals. As he describes it, he is angry that they didn’t just vote for Donald Trump in record numbers, but repeatedly provide moral cover for his outrageous failings. He is angry that leaders of the religious right, who long claimed to be the champions of American morality, appear to have gladly traded their values for power. He is angry that Christians claim they support the president because they want to end abortion or protect religious liberty, when supporting Trump suggests that what they really want is a champion who will mock and crush their perceived...
