The party constantly lecturing America on the importance of diversity is set to have an all-white debate stage in the upcoming Democratic presidential debate scheduled for Dec. 19th. "Diversity is a strength!" doesn't seem to be resonating much with the Democratic Party these days. The candidates who currently qualify for the upcoming debate are Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Amy Klobuchar, as well as South Bend Mayor Peter Buttigieg and hedge fund billionaire Tom Steyer. The best part is watching the Democratic candidates squirm to explain why the process has weeded out any people of color two months before...

As we learned last week, the ever resourceful British deployed a narwhal whale tusk to dispatch a terrorist, and now I want one too! But I suspect before long, Michael Bloomberg and other Democrats will be calling for “common sense” narwhal tusk control, and you can’t really blame them, can you? Just imagine what Joe Biden would have done if he’d had one handy in Iowa this week. No doubt he would have confused the orotund gentleman who challenged him with a seagoing mammal, and responded inappropriately.

Abby and Brittany Hensel, 29, are one of only 12 sets of conjoined twins in the world and are fused together at the torso, with each controlling one side of their body. Each twin controls one arm and one leg. As infants, learning to crawl, walk, and clap required cooperation. They can eat and write separately and simultaneously. Activities such as running, swimming, hair brushing and driving a car require coordinated action

There are common threads, associations and even funding sources that link the narrative involving allegations at the center of the current impeachment drive to discredited claims of collusion between Russia and President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. Many of those ties involve characters who played central roles in disseminating the infamous dossier. Below, in no particular order, are four major ties between the impeachment narrative and the Russia hoax...

A documentary on Pearl Harbor with excellent visual aids as the the series of events. Really well done. Somebody else posted this a while back but I forget. Thought it might be fitting for today.

0700 HST: Several thousands gathered before dawn this morning at the Pearl Harbor visitors center to attend this morning’s 78th anniversary of the “Day that will live in infamy.” Security is tight in light of the shootings here and at Pensacola this week. Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt will represent the President and deliver the key note speech in ceremonies slated to begin at 750, the hour of the attack. We’re privileged to be attending with Arizona survivor Lou Conter. The picture below shows the Arizona Memorial and the USS Missouri at dawn. I’m summoned to go visit with...

The oceans are losing oxygen due to climate change, with dire consequences for marine life and vulnerable communities and fisheries, a nature conservation report revealed Saturday. This is the “ultimate wake-up call” for humanity on ever increasing carbon emissions, according to the report, published at the UN Climate Change conference in Madrid. The authors say the report, “Ocean deoxygenation: Everyone’s problem,” is the largest ever peer-reviewed study into the causes, impacts and possible solutions to the ocean’s oxygen loss. […] According to the report, areas of water with low oxygen concentrations are expanding, with roughly 700 ocean areas across the...

Can anyone find the video of Pelosi (AKA Explosi) freaking out when a reporter asked if the Affordable Care Act was constitutional? Her response was, "ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!" Funny how these negative videos are lost or buried.

I recently gave a talk to a college class that began with each member of the class introducing himself or herself–which, in today’s academy, means stating one’s name and preferred pronouns. (As best I could tell, they all got their pronouns right.) I had assumed this type of silliness was limited to college campuses, but no. The Minnesota Sun reports: “Minneapolis Police Receive Mandatory Training on Gender Pronouns.”

In his last report, Horowitz protected the Deep State. This column suggests that he may do that again. Excerpts: "Inspector General Michael Horowitz is examining one tiny part of the huge elephant that is Spygate. He is examining the fraudulent FISA applications that were part of the carefully planned and executed attempt to destroy Donald Trump’s candidacy for President, and, if the plotters failed at that, to provide an “insurance policy” to destroy him as President..... Horowitz clearly demonstrated that he was a blind man when he delivered his report on the Hillary Clinton investigation. For anyone who can see,...

OAN has a report on now outlining the dems/Biden Ukraine scandal. They have interviews with Rudy G and others.

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden showed that he lacked even basic knowledge about Obamacare — which was passed while he served as Vice President in the Obama administration — during an interview with Telemundo, falsely claiming that the law covers illegal aliens. Biden’s lack of knowledge about former President Barack Obama’s so-called signature achievement is concerning considering the fact that the basic facts are laid out on the Obamacare website, which states that the only eligible persons are U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and lawfully present immigrants. The website specifically states: Undocumented immigrants aren’t eligible to buy Marketplace health coverage, or...

I recently received a fundraising email from former Vice President Joe Biden that captured the profound difference in the approach to foreign policy between Democrats and President Trump. Biden wrote: “Did you see the video of our friends and allies in London this week? World leaders were LAUGHING at the President of the United States, after he once again embarrassed himself and tarnished the reputation of the United States at a summit.” The Democrats’ desperate desire to be loved by foreigners runs through the entire email. In effect, Biden is promising to have policies that would lead President Emmanuel Macron...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem (Music in The Bible) Psalm 49 Psalm 49[a] For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. 1 Hear this, all you peoples;     listen, all who live in this world, 2 both low and high,     rich and poor alike: 3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom;     the meditation of my heart will give you understanding. 4 I will turn my ear to a proverb;     with the harp I will expound my riddle: 5 Why should I fear when evil days come,     when wicked deceivers surround me— 6 those who trust in their wealth     and boast...

Speaking to conservative radio host Mark Levin, Rep. Devin Nunes revealed he’s considered legal action over House Intel Chair Adam Schiff’s snooping on his phone records. Nunes believes his civil liberties have been violated. Rep. Devin Nunes: I’m going to be looking for all my legal options on this, too. I mean, my civil liberties were violated here. Adam Schiff, just because he’s chairman, doesn’t have the right to go subpoena, put a big fishing net out there , go grab a bunch of phone numbers, and have AT&T give you all the people they’ve talked to, and then him...

The Saudi Air Force trainee who killed three and injured eight when he opened fire at a naval base in Florida on Friday assailed the United States as 'a nation of evil' just before his shooting rampage, AFP reports. The man, identified as Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, opened fire inside a classroom at Naval Air Station in Pensacola early Friday morning. Police quickly responded to the scene and he was shot dead. Alshamrani was a second lieutenant attending the aviation school at the base. The Pentagon say his training with the US military began in August 2016, and was due to...

The Democrat Impeachment process is Unconstitutional: ** President has no due process ** President has no right to confront the witnesses ** President has no right to bring forward witnesses ** President has not been convicted or indicted of any crime of any kind ** Rep. Adam Schiff was a witness, investigator, the prosecutor, the judge and jury ** Rep. Nadler will take over and declare himself the lead investigator, prosecutor, the judge and jury ** Rep. Schiff determined which questions could be asked ** Rep. Schiff determined which questions could be answered ** Rep. Schiff denied Republicans their right...

The report on possible abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act will be released Monday, setting up a possible conflict between Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz and Attorney General William Barr. Reports suggest Horowitz, who headed the investigation, and Barr diverge on whether the FBI was justified in launching its 2016 counterintelligence inquiry into possible ties between the Russian government and the Trump campaign, later wrapped into special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. Mueller concluded Russia interfered but did not establish a criminal conspiracy between President Trump and Russia. Barr disagrees with Horowitz’s supposed conclusion that the FBI had sufficient...

Immigration officials have quadrupled their workplace investigations into illegal hiring, so pressuring companies to offer more pay and more training to millions of young American workers in President Donald Trump’s “Hire American” economy. ICE’s focus on workplace enforcement...opened 6,812 new workplace cases in the 2019 fiscal year, up from 1,701 during fiscal 2016. The agency made 2,048 administrative arrests, primarily of illegal immigrants, up roughly 500 from the year before. Trump’s tightening labor market is also forcing company owners to restart training programs for young Americans, according to another report in the Wall Street Journal...Companies are increasingly competing with each...
