I have two questions about Popeyes' Chicken Sandwich for those who have eaten one. 1) Do you think it is better than a Chic Fil-A Chicken Sandwich? 2) Is it spicy, even the least bit spicy? Thank you.

Socialist presidential contender Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt) vowed to “criminally prosecute the men who run the fossil fuel corporations that are wrecking the environment. The claim that they are merely giving their customers what they want—the fuel to cool and heat their homes and power the factories that produce merchandise and the fuel to power their cars and to truck the merchandise from factory to market—is the same type of claim that Al Capone used to justify his bootlegging.” “It’s time for saner heads to make the hard decisions required to save the planet,” Sanders said. “We need to wean...

Trump Derangement Syndrome holds thousands of liberals hostage and paralyzes them with such fear they are unable to cogitate any logical thoughts. This isn’t the first time in history a politician drove trembling multitudes into hysteria. Charles Krauthammer, political columnist, commentator and psychiatrist coined the term, Bush derangement syndrome in 2003 during the presidency of George W. Bush. That "syndrome" was defined by Krauthammer as "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency – nay – the very existence of George W. Bush. https://www.houstoncourant.com/houston-voices/2019/8/11/trump-derangement-syndrome

There you have it: America’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Change Agreement “depressed MILLIONS” across the planet. The media’s in a frenzy to blame President Donald Trump for the international joke known as G7. Where else but the G7 could protesters march around with 128 “official” portraits of French President Emanuel Macron—swiped from town halls and other French government buildings?

Video at link: Psychiatrist Allen Frances: “Trump is as destructive of person in this century as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were in the last century. He may be responsible for many more million deaths than they were”

Cory Booker Belongs in Jail Over Newark’s Water Crisis A normal person wouldn’t be running for president, he’d be in prison. August 23, 2019 Daniel Greenfield 324 Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. Don’t drink the water in Newark. The only thing worse than the crime and corruption in the New Jersey city that gave the nation Cory Booker is its drinking water. First, they found lead in the water in schools and then in people’s homes. In some homes the...

It is not my intent to reveal anything beyond what I recently said on TV (and likely, even less). Given that much of that is now going through a media blender, I aim merely to organize and state clearly the things I said on television recently, so as to reduce room for misreporting. A frequently played video in the news this past year has been a clip from the summer of 2015: a 26 year old Maria Butina standing up in a Las Vegas conference to ask Candidate Donald Trump a question. The conference was FreedomFest, an annual conference for...

South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg may have an uphill battle drawing some Iowa voters to his blend of progressive politics and religion. Buttigieg "comes off as a great guy," said Bob Vander Plaats, president of conservative Iowa Christian organization The Family Leader, but "his policies don't align with where we believe Scripture is and where we believe the faith is at and what's in the best interest of our country." "If the policies don’t line up, I think Iowans — and more than that Americans who are evangelical — are wise enough to see through that," Vander Plaats told...

Over two decades, they managed to dig more than 7.5 miles down into the Earth. However, in 1992 they had to stop drilling because the temperature was around 180 degrees Celsius, which was far hotter than the scientists predicted it would be. If you fell down the hole, it would take around 3.5 to 4 minutes to reach the bottom.

Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., defended the presence of both legal and illegal immigrants on Tuesday, asking his constituents: "Who do you think is mowing our beautiful lawns?" "There are a lot of jobs in our community, that like it or not, for better or for worse, Americans are not willing to take,” Malinowski said in a video obtained by the Washington Examiner. Malinowski, the freshman Democrat who is now running for reelection in New Jersey's seventh district, began citing statics showing the major role migrants play in the workforce.

Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has made a surprise appearance in Biarritz in the middle of a G7 summit where western policy towards Iran has been one of the most contentious issues. The Iranian foreign ministry confirmed that Zarif had flown to Biarritz at the invitation of his French counterpart, Jean-Yves Le Drian. A spokesman said there would be no meetings with US officials. A senior French diplomat confirmed that Zarif had been invited to Biarritz for talks with Le Drian, which he portrayed as the continuation of a diplomatic initiative by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, aimed at...

When American climate alarmists claim to have witnessed the effects of global warming, they must be referring to a time beyond 14 years ago. That is because there has been no warming in the United States since at least 2005, according to updated data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In January 2005, NOAA began recording temperatures at its newly built U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN). USCRN includes 114 pristinely maintained temperature stations spaced relatively uniformly across the lower 48 states. NOAA selected locations that were far away from urban and land-development impacts that might artificially taint temperature...

Posted on August 24, 2019August 23, 2019 by Msgr. Charles Pope Sober and Serious about Salvation—Homily Notes for the 21st Sunday of the Year In the readings this Sunday, the Lord describes a danger: our tendency to make light of judgment and not be sober that one day we must account for our actions. In the first reading (from Isaiah), the Lord sets forth His desire to save us, but we must understand that our will, our assent, is essential to our salvation. In the second reading (from the Letter to the Hebrews), God sets forth a plan whereby,...

Hundreds of bicyclists have been caught with their pants down — and their shirts and underwear off, too. The cyclists gathered in a Philadelphia park on Saturday to disrobe before saddling up and setting off on the annual Philly Naked Bike Ride. About 3,000 riders pedal a 10-mile (16-kilometer) course around the City of Brotherly Love while taking in sights including Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, organizers say. Some riders wear their birthday suits while others flaunt their underwear or sport just a splash of body paint and glitter... The Philly Naked Bike Ride used to be held in...

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar mocked Republican Rep. Mo Brooks Friday after he said that more Muslims in office is leading to more anti-Semitism. “Oh it’s fine, it’s just a Republican who says something bigoted!” the Minnesota congresswoman tweeted. In a follow up tweet, she wrote, “Also, if they are losing their minds over three Muslims in a body of 535, wonder what happens when there is 20 or more.”

Scientists hail it as perhaps the best-preserved dinosaur specimen ever uncovered. You can’t even see its bones. That’s because, 110 million years later, those bones remain covered by the creature’s intact skin and armor.

[Catholic Caucus] Priest Blames Catholic Theology for Lack of Faith h2 class="grey-subtitle" style="margin-bottom:12px;">Jesuit Fr. Thomas Reese: 'Mass is not about adoring Jesus' After a survey found that few U.S. Catholics believe in the Real Presence, a Jesuit priest says the Church's own theology is to blame. Father Thomas Reese said in an Aug. 19 opinion piece, "The Mass is not about adoring Jesus or even praying to Jesus." "Ultimately, the Mass is more about us becoming the body of Christ than it is about the bread becoming the body of Christ." Father Reese's article was a response to recent survey results showing...
