“One of al-Shamrani’s uncles told CNN on Saturday that he was shocked by the attack, as his nephew was ‘likable and mannered towards his family and the community’. ‘He had his religion, his prayer, his honesty and commitments’, the uncle stated.” Might his religion, his prayer, have led him to wage jihad in the cause of Allah? Will investigators even ask that question, or has the situation so deteriorated in the United States that it would now be “Islamophobic” to ask it? “Military bases across the U.S are put on high alert as FBI hunts missing Saudi servicemen linked to...

Full title: UPDATE: Bill Barr Indicts 8 Including Mueller Top Witness for Funneling Millions in Foreign Donations to Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton and Top Senate Democrats

According to former Ambassador of the United States to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, Rudy Giuliani's investigative effort that discovered more than five billion dollars of US aid to Ukraine had been misused "backs up what I testified to in the Schiff impeachment hearing. The public disclosure of this corruption deviates from longstanding US policy toward Ukraine." "It's not as if the Obama Administration was unaware of where the money was going," Yovanovitch said. "It was our explicit policy to keep that under wraps. That's why we discouraged the Ukraine police and prosecutor from investigating it. And that's why Vice-President Biden had...

Schiff violated the President Trump’s attorney-client privilege. It is a horrible precedent that Schiff created with this invasive tactic It was bad enough for House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) to subpoena the phone records of businessman Lev Parnas and President Donald Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani and other political opponents, but when he released them in his impeachment report it was a stunning abuse of power. In the view of columnist Kimberly Strassel, Schiff’s move “trampled law and responsibility…it was a disgraceful breach of ethical and legal propriety.”

Charles Pope A Prophet Who Prepares Preaching of John the Baptist, Baciccio (1690) The Second Sunday of Advent usually features the ministry of St. John the Baptist. He was the prophet who fulfilled the Office of Elijah, of whom it was said, See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land...

Impeaching Obama LIVE would draw millions more viewers than Netflix ever could Super patriot Mark Levin came up with the best idea ever to turn the tables on the Impeachment-obsessed, power-crazed Democrats when he called for the Retroactive Impeachment of former President Barack Obama. The Impeach-Trump-fatigued public masses can call it : “Poetic Justice”.

Having spent half of a year experiencing firsthand the labyrinthine bowels of an Amazon Fulfillment Center, I must ask: “What are all the complaints about?” Employment at Amazon was not perfect. Then again, no job will be. But for those wanting to establish themselves with a job history or get back into the routine of full-time employment, being at Amazon isn’t the torturous ordeal some have described. Coming off a year’s sabbatical and being a technical writer before that, work at an Amazon facility was a shining opportunity to regain some lost footing. In retrospect, I can’t but be thankful...

Sen. Lindsey Graham turned up on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo earlier today. He only did one segment, but a lot was said about the impeachment process. Graham, as is his habit, tossed out a lot of red meat that will infuriate some observers and please others, and vice versa. He got all sides covered, as usual. His basic message was this: Impeachment is tearing the country apart, and because of that he is not going to extend it by doing things like allowing the President of the United States to call the witnesses he wants, or to force...

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said Sunday that President Trump would push to make the 2020 election unfair if he is acquitted of articles of impeachment in Congress. "The president, based on his past performance, he will do everything he can to make it not a fair election," Nadler said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "And that is part of what gives us the urgency to proceed with this impeachment," he added. House members and Senators will have to decide "in the face of an abundance of uncontested evidence" whether "the president poses a threat to our election,"...

Jerry Nadler claims Democrats have a 'rock solid' case for Donald Trump's impeachment – as the Judiciary chairman insists a jury would convict the president in 'three minutes flat' Jerry Nadler said Democrats have a 'rock solid' case for impeachment 'I think the case we have, if presented to a jury, would be a guilty verdict in about three minutes flat,' the Judiciary chairman said His comments came a few days after Nancy Pelosi directed committee chairmen to begin drafting articles of impeachment against the president He wouldn't say if the House would vote on impeachment this week Jerry Nadler...

The December 6, 2019, Naval Air Station Pensacola attack reminded us once more that gun-free policies on military installations make U.S. troops sitting ducks. Breitbart News reported that a gunman opened fire Friday morning in Pensacola, killing three innocents and causing numerous others to be transported to the hospital for injuries. The Associated Press reported that the Pensacola gunman was an aviation student from Saudi Arabia, and NBC News reported that the gunman’s name was Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani. He used a handgun to carry out his attack. Pertinent to news of this horrific firearm-based attack is the fact that Naval...

Two mass shootings at U.S. military installations in one week, including one in which the perpetrator was a foreign national, have prompted questions over firearm use on American bases. .... To have two shootings clustered one after another on military bases is unusual. In the past two decades, there have only been about seven other active shootings on bases; the deadliest was a November 2009 shooting spree in Fort Hood, Texas, which killed 13 and injured 32. ... Government-issued firearms are locked in an arms room on base and only distributed when they are needed for training ,... This regulation...

The nation's leading newspapers have asserted their role as the most important "independent fact-checkers" in politics. So why do they fail to fact-check their own interviewees? On Twitter, Jeryl Bier noted The New York Times had to add an embarrassing correction to a two-month old story on Friday. Reporter Trip Gabriel did an entire story on a Trump voter iin Erie, Pennsylvania changing his mind....except records showed the man never voted. The original story on October 7 began: "Mark Graham, a real estate appraiser in this faded manufacturing hub, sat with friends at a gym named FitnessU on the morning...

Joe Biden said Saturday that it is “bizarre” for Bernie Sanders to propose withholding U.S. military aid from Israel if the government there doesn’t moderate its treatment of Palestinians. The remarks highlight a nuanced but significant distinction between the Democratic presidential contenders. Biden and Sanders support a “two-state solution” for Israel and the Palestinians, and both men have criticized political leaders on each side of the long-standing conflict. But Biden’s take, offered during a question-and-answer session with Iowa voters, hewed a more traditional U.S. establishment line by reaffirming a financial commitment to Israel regardless of its actions toward Palestinians. The...

I mean what were they thinking? Democrats thought their North Korean-style kangaroo court would…torpedo the Trump presidency? They thought they could change sway minds with this bit of Nonsense Theater. They thought they could get the vast majority of Americans to back them? Whatever these clowns are snorting, I want some. The feelings about Trump and this administration are entrenched. They’re not moving. Second, the impeachment push was forever tainted as a partisan witch-hunt as soon as Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), chair of the House Intelligence Committee, decided to lay the foundations for this circus in secret. Testimonies were given...
