If Trump asserts the China is the leading polluter and violator of human rights as a part of his trade negotiations with China, he will win the independent voters and the 2020 election. Trump is a strategic negotiator and politician. By taking the lefts position against China, he can head them off at the pass. He can appear concerned for the world and caring for the earth by comparison of the EU and US regulations with the abuses by China. It's the Bambi approach that will label China as the evil hunter and change world opinion. He can invite a...

Kellie Watson said she was just finishing her workday last October when she received a phone call from her 12-year-old son. "It was unbelievable to hear the fear and panic in his voice," she said. Her son told her that her father, 69-year-old Maurice Stallard, had been shot. Stallard had been shopping for school supplies with his grandson at a Kroger grocery store in Louisville, Kentucky, when a gunman opened fire, killing two – including Stallard. Watson said the only thing that stopped the alleged gunman from shooting her son was that he ran. "If he hadn't run, I probably...

Today in Hellworld, police are working backwards from witness statements to alter the photos of suspects so that they might be picked out of a lineup. Police in Portland, Oregon — the whitest big city in the country, in a state that was founded with a constitution that made being black within its borders illegal — digitally altered the photo of a distinctly tattooed 50-year-old black man named Tyrone Allen, in order to try and implicate him in a bank robbery, according to Oregon Live. The shocking move came after no bank tellers mentioned prominent tattoos in their description of...

--SNIP--the outcry from Washington-area politicians incensed at federal plans to build new shelters for migrant children in Northern Virginia and the District . The shelters, state-licensed and similar to scores across the county in operation since before President Trump took office, would help move migrant children out of squalid, cramped Border Patrol stations near the U.S.-Mexico border. They would provide a way station for unaccompanied minors while federal officials seek to place them with U.S.-based relatives or foster families. But local politicians, nearly all Democrats, have balked at cooperating with federal authorities on any immigration matter. They have denounced the...

Anthony Scaramucci, the quick lived former White House Communications Director for the Trump administration, came out against Donald Trump by claiming the President is a cult leader and “a clear and present danger to the American society.” In addition to media appearances, Scaramucci suggested he is assembling a team of former cabinet members to remove President Trump from being reelected in 2020. At first sight, it appeared Scaramucci made the decision to remove support for President Trump due to his being fired after only serving 11 days on the job. It was likely nothing more than a vain desperate attempt...

LEESBURG, Fla. - A Florida man got out of the car he was in and hit a McDonald's drive-thru employee in the face because he didn't receive his food fast enough, according to the Leesburg Police Department. The victim said Sherman Lee Brown was in the passenger's seat of his girlfriend's silver Ford Focus at about 3:20 a.m. on July 30 when he started getting angry about how long they'd been in the drive-thru line. He got out of the Focus and began yelling at the occupants of the vehicle in front of his. When the Focus got to the...

Hip surgery in May slowed down former President Jimmy Carter – just a bit. But a bum hip has nothing to do with the hand he uses to hammer, and that means — for the 36th consecutive year — the former president and his wife Rosalynn are scheduled to build houses for Habitat for Humanity. From Oct. 6-11, the Carters will be in Nashville, helping to construct 21 homes. Add that to the more than 4,300 they have helped build in 14 countries since 1984. “There have been many times when people have tried to count President Carter out, and...

SEATTLE, Washington (KETK) – A 103-year-old Seattle woman set a world record after becoming the oldest to successfully skydive. On Thursday she suited up, boarded a plane, and went for the ride of her life above Snohomish County, Washington. To celebrate her 103rd birthday, her son Warren, a frequent jumper, decided to take his mom with him. “It’s fun so why not have some fun, hallelujah,” Kitty Hodges, Warren’s mom said. Kitty was not nervous at all, even though people half her age are scared of skydiving. She screamed, “I’m all set, Wee!!!!” Her neighbors from Bayview, a retirement community...

Democratic presidential candidate, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg latched on to what he characterized as “the irony of Trump’s insistence that mental illness is the key source of mass shootings when it is his policies that are generating the mental stress that pushes these people over the edge.” “Let’s consider two examples,” Buttigieg suggested. “First, Trump’s economic policies have resulted in record numbers of people being employed. Work is one of the major sources of stress in a person’s life. The regimentation of the nine-to-five workday rat race dramatically reduces the amount of free time available to an individual. We...

Friday on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) said President Donald Trump was “driving” violence by giving racism “new life.” O’Rourke said, “When he was making his case to the country, announcing his candidacy for the presidency, he talks about Mexican immigrants as rapist and criminals, repeatedly warned of invasions from Mexico and Central America, called asylum seekers animals, called them killers, called them predators, put their children in cages, deported their parents back to the very countries from which they fled —and you talked about this a little bit in the run-up to this...

AUSTIN, Texas (ChurchMilitant.com) - "'Want to see a sweet, quiet town ripped asunder? 'Want to see a place anyone would want to live in and open a small business doxed and divided?" "Then watch the American Library Association, and its Antifa army, wage war on towns — and cities — across the country as it hoists its sneaky child-grooming campaign of drag queen story hours on the unsuspecting." These are the sentiments of Tracy Shannon, head of Texas MassResistance, in speaking with Church Militant Friday about the latest news on the drag queen story hour (DQSH) front. One new detail...

... My guess about the late Mr. Epstein’s taste for orgies is that it was only partially sexual in origin. After all, a man in his situation could have paid for any amount of sex, of any kind, in private. What he really enjoyed (I surmise) is corrupting others—and not just others, but prominent and powerful others. He enjoyed being, or playing, Mephistopheles, quite apart from any sexual gratification he may have had on the way. ...

Full header: Michael Mann, creator of the infamous global warming ‘hockey stick,’ loses lawsuit against climate skeptic, ordered to pay defendant’s costs Michael Mann, a climatologist at Penn State University, is the creator of the “hockey stick graph” that appears to show global temperatures taking a noticeable swing upward in the era when humanity has been burning fossil fuels and dumping CO2 into the atmosphere. The graph was first published in 1998, prominently featured in the 2001 UN Climate Report, and formed part of Al Gore’s 2006 movie, An Inconvenient Truth. The graph’s methodology and accuracy have been and continue...

For liberals, history began on the day Donald Trump took office. If you're not a liberal you might remember things that happened before that. For instance, you might remember that Joe "The Plumber" Wurzlebacher asked then candidate Barack Obama about his plans to tax small businesses. Obama's reply? I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody. Here's the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUvwKVvp3-oYou might also remember that in return some sleazy democrat improperly searched for and made public Wurzelbacher's financial records. Thus in 2008 Obama believed in spreading the wealth because it was good for everybody. More than a...

EXTREME ADULT CONTENT ALERT. ADULT EYES ONLY. This piece has been a long time coming. I was alerted to this a few years ago, researched it, saw it was true, and then heard enough other anecdotes from across North America to become convinced (with encouragement) that a warning needs to go out, especially to those in Trad Catholic parishes. The best way to protect oneself from sex predators is INFORMATION. We’ve probably all been to a Renaissance Fair or at least heard of people who go off on weekends and do Medieval/Renaissance role playing/reenactment stuff. People make their own costumes,...

Surveillance footage captured by the homeowner's doorbell camera, first spots an individual wearing a hoodie making his way into the driveway via an unlocked front gate. Shortly thereafter, a second individual follows suit and proceeds to open a larger set of gates directly behind the parked Tesla. Meanwhile, the first individual, who has a backpack strapped to his chest, raises his arms and walks closer to the house as if looking for something or "scanning" through the walls. According to the outlet, the thief is actually carrying the relay device inside his backpack and is holding sensors in his hands,...

Country and pop singer superstar Taylor Swift vowed to become more political earlier this year, which left many "Swifties," as her fans are called, wondering how she would go about doing that. It turns out, being more political simply means kowtowing to the leftist mob and being anti-Trump and showing support for abortion. Ahead of her newly released album, Lover, Swift sat down with The Guardian to discuss her newfound political agenda. In short, she said she has become disillusioned with America and its values. This s particularly due to President Donald J. Trump and Republicans, she said. She claimed...

[Catholic Caucus] German priest publicly declares his homosexuality, credits Amazon Synod bishop August 23, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — Bernd Mönkebüscher, a German priest of the Archdiocese of Paderborn, just published a book in which he openly declares that he has a homosexual orientation. He explicitly says he was inspired to take this step due to some remarks by Bishop Franz-Josef Overbeck. As the head of one of the two German episcopal relief agencies, Overbeck is heavily involved in the preparations for the Amazon Synod. Vatican News reported on this matter in an article entitled “Priests outs his homosexual orientation and...
