So Nancy boldly says that "nobody is above the law." Therefore, that must also apply to Hillary Clinton. So, Nancy, put your money where your mouth is. We'll be waiting you to call for Congressional hearings into Hillary's illegal activities. We expect your announcement shortlty. Freepers, what other Democrats should be called before the hearing committees? Time to fight back and put the pressure on the do-nothing Democrats whose sole goal is to get rid of President Trump. Forget national security, health care, and the other important issues. Democrats aren't interested in those.

It's an appalling reality that in the entire U.S. Senate not one single member is willing to stand up for American workers. From appointed Arizona Republican Martha McSally to Vermont Independent Bernie Sanders, possibly the world's only avowed socialist who won't defend his nation's workers, none stood up against the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act, S. 386, and its continuum of foreign national tech workers, mostly Indian. S. 386 would eliminate the 7 percent country cap provision that controls Green Card issuance to ensure that one country, or just a few countries, do not dominate the program. The current system...

I'm looking to find a syllabus that I could use to do Sunday School via teleconference with my grandson(s). File under: 21st Century Headlines. I have 2 grandsons, the older one is almost 7, so I'd be starting with him. The little one is only 2, so maybe just get him to do an art project or something for now. I'd be willing to spend some money to get a quality product I googled this and there were SO MANY ads that came up! Of course that made me happy, but I feel a little overwhelmed. So I figured I'd...

A senior Trump administration official told Fox News late Tuesday that the administration will release a document showing the intelligence community inspector general found the whistleblower who leveled an explosive accusation against President Trump concerning his talks with Ukraine had “political bias” in favor of “a rival candidate” of the president. The official did not identify the name of the rival candidate. Separately, a senior administration official told Fox News the White House has been working as quickly as it can to release to Congress the whistleblower complaint involving President Trump's conversations with the leader of Ukraine, as long as...

In a stunning move, a judge in the Eastern District of Virginia overturned the conviction of ex-business partner of former National Security Advisor Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Bijan Rafiekian, Tuesday who was charged earlier this year with undisclosed lobbying that prosecutors claimed was to ensure the extradition of a Muslim cleric living in the United States back to his homeland of Turkey. Judge Anthony Trenga, who oversaw the case, stated in his 39 page acquittal decision that the evidence presented to the jury was insufficient to prove any type of conspiracy and based mainly on hearsay. He noted in...

The Trump administration is ending a federal immigration policy that allows migrant families seeking asylum in the U.S. to remain in the country while their applications are pending, which it has derisively referred to as “catch and release.” Under the new rule, set to go into effect next week, most migrant families applying for asylum will be sent to Mexico while awaiting immigration proceedings.

NEW YORK—President Donald Trump warned world leaders about the “specter of socialism,” calling it one of the most serious challenges facing the nations. “It’s the wrecker of nations and destroyer of societies,” Trump said on Sept. 24 in his address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. “Events in Venezuela remind us all that socialism and communism are not about justice, they are not about equality, they are not about lifting up the poor. And they are certainly not about the good of the nation,” he said. “Socialism and communism are about one thing only: power for...

Fox News (Hannity and Ed Henry) are reporting that White House officials Have revealed that the inspector general found political bias by the alleged whistleblower, and that their whistleblower supported an unnamed 2020 Democrat candidate. Sources are also reported that there is no smoking gun in the transcript of the telephone call with the Ukrainian president; that there are approximately three lines that could create a headache for the president, but do not constitute any type of quid pro quo or intimidation.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called for the House Judiciary Committee to take action immediately in the wake of reports that President Trump withheld funds to Ukraine and pressured the country’s president to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, calling the accusations “an emergency." “Yes, this is an emergency. We don’t have the luxury of time w/ another committee,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Tuesday. “Judiciary has been investigating& putting the pieces together for months. Impeachment belongs there." The freshman lawmaker was responding to conservative commentator and vocal Trump critic Bill Kristol, who said he has suggested a “possible select committee”...

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) reiterated her opposition to the impeachment of President Donald Trump on Monday — leaving her as the only major presidential candidate against the idea. Almost every other candidate has backed impeachment and urged the Democrat-run U.S. House of Representatives to start impeachment proceedings. On Tuesday, former vice president Joe Biden was said to back impeachment if Trump failed to comply with Congress. Gabbard, however, has opposed impeachment in the past, and continues to do so. In early September, she said that it “will only further … tear our country apart.” And on Monday, Gabbard told Fox...

Something big happened to President Trump this week, and it’s not the Ukraine scandal. His job approval ratings have returned to where they were before his big August slump — and that’s bad news for the Democrats. Trump clearly had a terrible late summer. Starting with his tweet that the four progressive Democratic House members who call themselves “the Squad” should “go back” to the countries they purportedly were from (only one of the four, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, is an immigrant), Trump’s job approval ratings declined significantly. From a pre-tweet high of 45.1 percent in the RealClearPolitics average on...

A number of Conservative Party members have been suspended for posting or endorsing Islamophobic material online. The BBC highlighted over 20 new cases to the party, who said all those found to be members who shared or supported anti-Muslim posts on Twitter and Facebook were suspended immediately. However, the officials would not reveal the exact number of members suspended. A Conservative spokesman said the party was now "establishing the terms" of an investigation into the wider issue. But Baroness Warsi, the former Tory chairwoman who was the UK's first female Muslim cabinet minister, accused her party of "backsliding". There have...

Bishops Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, and Rick Stika of Knoxville, Tennessee, weighed in.PHILADELPHIA — After Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia urged caution regarding the message on human sexuality propagated by Jesuit Father James Martin, other U.S. bishops have weighed in on the priest’s message. “Father Martin’s public messages create confusion among the faithful and disrupt the unity of the Church by promoting a false sense that immoral sexual behavior is acceptable under God’s law,” Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, wrote Sept. 19.“People with same-sex attraction are indeed created and loved by God and are welcome in the Catholic...

The silent takeover avoids legal challengesHALIFAX, Nova Scotia (ChurchMilitant.com) - Nova Scotia is quietly forcing a Catholic hospital in the province to help patients kill themselves. Formerly run by the Sisters of St. Martha, St. Martha's Regional Hospital in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, is being told by the province that it must now offer patients access to physician-assisted suicide (PAS). The Catholic hospital was formerly exempt from Canada's pro-death legislation as per a 1996 agreement when it signed over control of its hospital to the province. The agreement ensuring the hospital's Catholic identity and values would be honored was negated last...

A former police chief suggested the schools should be closed for causing sectarianismA spokesman for the Catholic Church in Scotland said Wednesday the suggestion that Catholic schools in the country are a cause for bigotry is “staggeringly intolerant.” “Scotland’s peculiar obsession with religious intolerance has been in the spotlight again recently following the offensive and ill-informed comments of a former police chief, who claimed that the existence of denominational schools are at the root of the problem and suggested that sectarianism and bigotry can best be tackled by closing Catholic schools,” Peter Kearney, director of the Scottish Catholic Media Office,...
