[Site derives ZERO from “clicks.” Just “trying to get the message out.” Article is not here in entirety due to Images and Effects: ] - Democrats, Liberals, “Progressives,” Socialists, Communists, Suburban Housewives, and Canadian Supergirl have created politicized worlds that don’t exist. This ranting excursion into a twilight (zoned) area of their own creation appears to be a one-way drop for them. They seem to be lost souls flailing for a formula—any devious, formulaic plot — which they may think can ultimately beat Donald Trump in the coming election of 2020. Time, and again, they flog that bestiary of demonic...

Fox News announced that they do not plan on booking Michael Knowles moving forward after he called 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg "mentally ill" on the network Monday night. Knowles, who hosts The Michael Knowles Show for the Daily Wire, appeared on Fox News for a segment about climate change and Thunberg's activism. He was accompanied on the show by Chris Hahn, a former aide to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who took exception to Knowles' characterization of the teenager. Fox News no longer plans to bring Knowles on the network anymore, a spokesperson for the cable news station confirmed...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem (Music in The Bible) Genesis 4 Cain and Abel 4 Adam[a] made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.[b] She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth[c] a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord...

It was in the national interest of the United States that Ukraine, under siege by our Russian nemesis, be given the full quantum of military aid extended by Congress. It was in the political interest of President Trump that Ukraine aggressively investigate credible allegations of corruption and conflict-of-interest against former Vice President Joe Biden, a favorite among the Democratic candidates seeking to run against Trump in 2020. The national interests of the United States and the political interests of the president are not the same thing. If President Trump conflated them in his discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, that...

Climate change activist Greta Thunberg's stare a Donald Trump as he entered the UN has become a social media meme. The Swedish eco-warrior addressed the United Nations Climate Summit in New York on Monday telling delegates 'you have stolen my dreams and my childhood'. The schoolgirl was seen at the UN headquarters yesterday morning with an enraged expression on her face as President Trump upstaged her entrance by walking in flanked by news reporters. She could be seen fiercely staring at the US president as he walked by and into the UN General Assembly. Social media instantly exploded with memes...

Cokie Roberts – the award-winning journalist and author – died a few days ago of complications from breast cancer. I don’t wish that death upon anyone, and having had several breast cancer scares of my own, and having gone through the experience with my mother, I am more than upset that we still haven’t kicked this disease’s ass. Journalist Linda Ellerbee is also upset. She’s upset that she and Cokie Roberts came up together in the business, were both the same age when Roberts passed, and both got breast cancer. Ellerbee has lost her friend to this disease, so I...

President Trump was in New York City on Monday for United Nations General Assembly week. President Trump led a meeting on religious freedom and met with several world leaders including the leaders of Egypt and Pakistan. During questions and answers with the media Trump referred to CNN’s Chris Cuomo as Fredo. President Trump: “I don’t watch CNN because it is fake news. But I watched Rudy take apart Fredo. Fredo’s performance was incompetent. The press doesn’t give him credit, because they take little tiny snippets wherever Rudy was a little bit –if he mispronounces a word they’ll show that, they...

The left has gone ballistic over criticism that teen climate-change activist Greta Thunberg resembles some of the Nazi propaganda that was used to turn the world against Jews more than half a century ago. The Swedish 16-year-old, who is skipping school for a year to to protest climate change, charged in a speech at the United Nations on Monday that the adults in the room were stealing her dreams and her childhood. "People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing," she claimed. "We are in the beginning of a mass extinction." Author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza noted her...

Inspired by a Sporting Rifle carried by Custer, a black powder enthusiast rebuilds his model. Remington's No. 1 Sporting Rifle was introduced around 1868. That was a rather quiet introduction and this sporter was not identified or named as such until 1874. The No. 1 Sporting Rifles were last shown in a Remington catalog in 1889 with a total production of under an estimated 13,000 rifles. Remington was simply concentrating a lot more on filling military orders from several countries, and making sporting rifles was secondary. When the Remington sporting rifles first appeared, they were made using military receivers which...

Film director Rob Reiner has claimed that President Donald Trump “commits crimes on a daily basis” and is planning to accept the help of Russia in order him “steal” next year’s presidential election. In one of his trademark Twitter rants, Reiner warned that America’s Founding Fathers had “never anticipated” a president like Donald Trump. “Our founding fathers never anticipated what we’re facing. A President who commits crimes on a daily basis,” the Princess Bride director said. “He was not held accountable for a foreign country helping him steal the last election. So he’s at it again. History will judge where...

As Tropical Storm Karen approached Puerto Rico this morning (or late last night), a 6.0 earthquake occurred Northwest of Puerto Rico along with a 5.1 quake. At the time of the quake(s), Tropical Storm Karen was South East of Puerto Rico. But there is one more important detail: The quake happened between a major fault line (shown in red above the earthquake if you go to the USGS link below...) and Puerto Rico. And the earthquake was much closer to the fault line than to Tropical Storm Karen. Link to USGS Map of Quake Map of most recent quakes (must...

A man holding his 5-year-old daughter jumped onto subway tracks in the Bronx during Monday's morning rush, killing himself but thankfully only leaving the child with minor injuries, police said. The man had the girl cradled in one arm when he jumped in front of the train as it rounded a curve and slowed at the Kingsbridge Road station just before 8 a.m., police said. The man, identified as Fernando Balbuena, was killed by the Manhattan-bound train — but the girl lived, getting trapped underneath. With the help of two strangers, the little girl crawled her way to safety. One...

Greta Thunberg is just a scared child, though after her users drop her she should be put on long term suicide watch. But there is a whole religion of 12 million people who have been deliberately inculcated in fearfulness from childhood. It seems it has been drilled into them that little Pope Francis is going to combine with the heads of the Protestant and Orthodox Churches--in reality, they hardly know they exist--and conduct a mass pogrom of beheading because this group won't stop a certain benign religious practice.

A top Democratic official in Alabama has said that one of his party's U.S. senators in the state "is a racist" and accused him of marginalizing black party members and wanting them "to pick the cotton" but not "manage the plantation." The Democratic National Committee's Black Caucus Vice Chairman Randy Kelley, who is black, blasted Doug Jones, who is white, and his allies in the DNC for pressuring African Americans to increase the representation of Hispanic, Asian, youth, gay, and disabled party members in a new "Diversity Caucus," a move he argues would reduce the influence of black Democrats. Kelley...

Morning "For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him." Ezra 8:22 A convoy on many accounts would have been desirable for the pilgrim band, but a holy shame-facedness would not allow Ezra to seek one. He feared lest the heathen king should think his professions of faith in God...

Which Twilight Zone is your personal nightmare? Imagine if you will a world where reporters make up the story and write the narrative rather than “report” the facts: Reporters coaching sources for the “right” answers.Imagine if you will a world where whistleblowers don’t need firsthand knowledge of an event they are whistleblowing on: Anonymous Trump-Ukraine Whistleblower Story Based on Hearsay. Or possibly it’s the one where an unhinged 16 year old is held up as the earth’s last great white hope.“I’ll get you, my pretty. And your little dog too.”Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

Fresh calls for the impeachment of President Donald Trump will move a step closer on Tuesday as House Democrats head into a closed-door meeting with Speaker Nancy Pelosi at 4pm. Democrats themselves remained divided on moving forward with an effort to impeach Trump. Pelosi has resisted calls for impeachment and is sticking with her position that Congress must not start formal proceedings unless the American public demands it. However, Pelosi and her leadership team on the various oversight committees are considering bringing forward a resolution that will put the House on record on this matter, according to a Democratic leadership...
