September 25, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — The “Higher Committee to Implement the Document on Human Fraternity” signed in Abu Dhabi in February by Pope Francis and Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb of Al-Azhar University, Cairo, met in New York last week in the shadow of the United Nations yearly national assembly for the second time in two weeks. Its most spectacular act was the unveiling of the design for the “Abrahamic Family House,” to be built on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, as a multi-faith complex giving equal space to a synagogue, a church, and a...

House Democratic leaders are eyeing a fast-paced investigation into the possible impeachment of President Trump, instructing the committees handling the probe to wrap up their findings within weeks in hopes of concluding before the holiday season. Some Democratic lawmakers and aides said Thursday, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe private deliberations, that they believed impeachment articles could be ready for a House vote around Thanksgiving.

In 2008, Barack Obama won 26% of the evangelical vote; in 2012, he won 21%. Hillary Clinton won 16%. If she had simply replicated Obama's performance among evangelicals, she would likely be President. In his new book, Do We Have a Center? 2016, 2020 and the Challenge of the Trump Presidency, Walter Frank, author of Law and the Gay Rights Story and Making Sense of the Constitution, warns that Democrats ignore the many lessons of the 2016 campaign at their peril. "The Democrats," Frank counsels, "are in grave trouble if they don't understand exactly what happened in 2016 and all...

Moscow, September 23, Interfax - Over 2.5 million Muslims now live in Moscow, Russian Council of Muftis head Ravil Gainutdin said. "Over 2.5 million Muslims now live in Moscow alone, and at least one million Muslims live in the Moscow region and in St. Petersburg. The number of Muslims is in the hundreds of thousands in the Yekaterinburg, Perm, Tyumen, Omsk, and Rostov metropolitan areas," Gainutdin said in his report given at the 7th congress of the Muslim Spiritual Board of Russia in Moscow on Monday. In the meantime, the head of the Council of Muftis recently gave a higher...

Instead of opening a formal impeachment inquiry in Ukrainegate, Democrats should have calmed down, taken a deep breath and counted to 67. That’s the number of votes needed in the Senate to remove a president from office via impeachment. Getting to that number, which requires at least 20 Republican senators to vote to remove President Trump, should have driven every impeachment calculation by the Democrats. Yet, that seems to be the least of their focus. Judging by their overheated rhetoric, Democrats appear to have decided, largely based on initial news reports. The reporting alleged Trump threatened to deprive Ukraine, an...

I thought I would summarize several of the theories that are "out there" related to the Ukraine developments. 1) Trump welcomes impeachment. Yes and no. No president wants to be impeached. Regardless of how vile the Congress is, it is a stain that goes into the history books. Politically, however, there is some truth to this. As seen in the fundraising---which is off the charges ($15m since Botoxic's little "impeachment-vote-that-wasn't-an-impeachment-vote). Trump can solidify the base possibly into the 95-96% levels, unheard of except for George W. Bush right after 9/11. I don't think this is his first choice. 2) The...

A Florida middle school student’s father wrote an outraged social media post after his daughter was supposedly given a test question calling President Trump an “idiot.” A spokesperson for the Palm Beach County School Board tells The Todd Starnes Radio Show that the incident is under investigation. They provided me with a letter that was mailed to every parent at the school. “The question was inappropriate and demonstrated an unacceptable lack of good judgment on the part of the teacher,” Principal Philip D’Amico told parents. The teacher has been reassigned pending the outcome of the investigation. “I apologize for this...

President Clinton? Mariah Carey roasted for Trump-bashing photo op with Hillary & Bill Mariah Carey has felt the wrath of Twitter after sharing photos she took with “President” Hillary Clinton and her husband. The singer was likely taking a swipe at Donald Trump but the Twitterati was not impressed. “An honor to meet President Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton!” Carey wrote, including two photographs she took with the former first couple. She also thanked the pair for “everything you have done and continue to do for our country.” The photo op was applauded by many of Carey’s...

President Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) have raised a staggering $13 million in the days following the House Democrats’ formal impeachment announcement. The money raised stems from a combination of individual campaign contributions and fundraisers, according to recent reports. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) succumbed to demands from the far-left members of her caucus on Tuesday, announcing an official impeachment inquiry and using the “whistleblower” complaint as the chief catalyst for the probe.

Hillary Clinton will be back on TV in a big way in coming days, and she’s tearing into President Donald Trump. She doesn’t believe that Trump will be re-elected for a second term, Clinton tells Jane Pauley on “CBS Sunday Morning.” “I believe that, look, there were many funny things that happened in my election that will not happen again. And I’m hoping that both the public and press understand the way Trump plays the game,” Clinton says.

So a guy that used to work in the White House who now works at Langley Virginia Is the whistle blower. Not in the White house building and not the White House administration. This guy learned about all this juicy of for MA tion that is reported in the whistle blower complaint based on news reports coming out of Twitter the Washington Post The New York Times and Fox News He also cites interagency communication and office gossip Careful reading of his sources indicate some of his sources may actually be sources that he read about in Public open sources...

Schiff simply lied. Not a word of his tirade came from the transcript of the president’s conversation with Zelensky. Schiff made it all up, and it didn’t resemble the actual transcript in any respect. Apart from the fact that it shows once again what a disgusting liar Adam Schiff is, why is his “parody” important? Because it shows the baselessness of the Democrats’ case against Trump. If Trump had actually said anything objectionable–let alone impeachable!–in his conversation with Zelensky, Schiff would have quoted it. But because the conversation was entirely innocent, Schiff couldn’t quote a line of it. He had...

Okay, but can we talk about how Adam Schiff looks like the lovechild of President Logan from “24” and Peter Pettigrew from "Harry Potter”?

Just hours after the White House released a summary of President Donald Trump's call with the president of Ukraine — in which Trump urged the Ukrainian leader to do him a "favor" — Texas Sen. John Cornyn stood on the floor of the Senate and tore into House Democrats for moving forward with an impeachment inquiry based in part on that call.

The first gas station in the U.S. that has been completely transitioned from a petroleum station to exclusively charging EVs opened Thursday in Takoma Park, Maryland. RS Automotives, the local gas station, has been around since 1958. Depeswar Doley, owner of the station since 1997, said he was already unhappy with the way oil and gasoline companies structure contracts — such as limiting the use of multiple suppliers, including clauses that extend contracts when a certain volume of sales is not met and limiting maintenance support. These business factors already were pushing him to consider other options. A nudge from...

She just had Kelyanne Conway on and everytime she'd asked KC a question regarding today's events regarding the hearing and Trump, she 's have this disgusting look on her face as if she was in disagreement with KC's answers. She, MM, appeared pissed off with every answer KC would gave her. She was acting like a See You Next Tuesday. Oh, and that hairdo MM was sporting, lose it now. She looked like a doofus.

PHOENIX - Unrest in a country thousands of miles away can cause fuel cost to spike overnight, wreaking havoc on companies trying to get their products to consumers. It's one of the most frustrating and costly aspects of running a business, which gets passed on to the consumer in the price they pay for products. The solution to that problem may be Nikola Motors, which is purportedly the first hydrogen-powered truckmaker in the world. The company recently moved its world headquarters to Arizona. "This machine is one of the largest in the whole world," said Nikola Motors CEO Trevor Milton....

I am so confused. I flip onto CNN and MSNBC and they are saying Trump is doomed. I go to Fox and they are talking about Syria. I look on Drudge and all the headlines are about the end of Trump. I go to FR and not much talk about any of this. So what is really going on. Business as usual or something dramatic? Thank you.

The Senate Judiciary Committee has shelved the consideration of a nominee for a key circuit judge position after an uprising of conservative opposition. The committee postponed its vote on Halil Suleyman “Sul” Ozerden to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals shortly after Sen Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) informed Republicans he was opposed. Hawley joined Sen. Ted Cruz in opposition. Hawley began informing colleagues of his decision on Thursday morning, just hours before Ozerden was going to be considered before the Senate Judiciary Committee, according to source familiar with the conversations. With Cruz (R-Texas) and Hawley in opposition, Ozerden now needs Democratic...
