Axios is reporting that morning that new polling shows President Donald Trump gaining ground in three key battleground states as this impeachment clown show plows along. The new polls, conducted by Firehouse Strategies, show the President gaining tremendous ground vs. Quid Pro Joe Biden in the three key states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, which were decisive in his 2016 victory over the Pantsuit Princess. Biden vs. Trump in battleground states The President’s biggest gains have taken place since September, when the Democrats and their media toadies kicked off their whole Ukraine scam as a pretense for impeaching Mr. Trump....

The "immense" rise in sales of high-emission sports utility vehicles means they now outsell electric cars in the UK by 37 to one, research has found. As a result, overall exhaust emissions from new cars have been increasing, not declining, for the past three years, says the UK Energy Research Centre. SUV sales are jeopardising the UK transport sector's ability to meet EU emissions targets, it said. Prof Jillian Anable of the UKERC said this made "a mockery" of UK policy. "Effectively, we have been sleepwalking into the issue," she said. "The decarbonisation of the passenger car market can no...

A long-awaited report from the Justice Department's inspector general on the origins of the special counsel Robert Mueller's probe is set to be released on Monday. Those familiar with Michael Horowitz's report say it does cite multiple errors and potential transgressions in the FBI's investigation. However, the report does conclude that the Department of Justice had sufficient evidence to launch the Mueller investigation. Horowitz's report is expected to identify errors and misjudgments by some law enforcement officials, including by an FBI lawyer suspected of altering a document related to the surveillance of a former Trump campaign aide. Sen. Lindsey Graham,...

Glenn Simpson, co-founder of Fusion GPS, admitted in his recently published book he met two times on the same day with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, who led the infamous Trump Tower meeting. Simpson said he met Veselnitskaya those two times the same day as the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting, seeing her in New York before and in D.C. after Veselnitskaya’s Manhattan confab with the top brass of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Simpson also admitted that present at a dinner he had with Veselnitskaya the same day as the Trump Tower meeting was Russian-born Washington lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin, who...

“A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city” (Proverbs 9:13-14 KJV).

I am not sure of the time of the release..it is 9 am now....there was some talk last night on twitter that there will be a short press conference in the morning but the report won't be made public until the afternoon....but take that info with a grain of salt

Venice suffered some historic floods in November, and we all know what the cause is: not its proximity to this strange, heaving body of liquid some call “the sea,” or the fact that Venice admits “the sea” into its city limits with a series of picturesque canals, or the fact that the entire city rests on logs and has sunk a bit over the years. No, it’s your gas stove. Also your shower. And your hamburger. The solution? Stop letting women control the temperature in the house. It’s the only logical conclusion, but we need to set this up. First,...

Seven San Diego residents are dead from a flesh-eating bacteria tied to black tar heroin and county health officials are on the alert for yet more cases. Officials from San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency on Thursday announced the two-month string of deaths from the soft tissue infection myonecrosis and have told the medical community in this county of more than 3.3 million people to watch for more cases.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem (Music in The Bible) Psalm 51 Psalm 51[a] For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba. 1 Have mercy on me, O God,     according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion     blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash away all my iniquity     and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I know my transgressions,     and my sin is always before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned     and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right...

The Trump-hating Democratic-Socialists are beginning their impeachment dance today. What do you think? Should President Trump be impeached? https://www.peoplespoll.net/polls/impeach.php

Fearing they will be next following the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, jittery cities along the U.S. and Canadian West Coast begin conducting blackouts and in some cases sound alarms and report sightings of enemy warplanes overhead.

We often hear about inmates on death row who are exonerated after years behind bars, usually because the prosecution made procedural errors, or there wasn’t any DNA evidence to convincingly prove the person committed the crime. But what if it was made clear at the trial that someone else committed the murder, not the guy sentenced to death row? Patrick Bearup has been sitting behind bars for almost 17 years, sentenced to death for a murder he did not commit. He fell in with some bad people in his 20s. They told him to accompany them to the house of...

It’s the story that won’t die, and rightly so. Speaker Nancy Pelosi jumped all over journalist James Rosen for daring to ask the question the rest of us think: Do you hate President Trump, Speaker Pelosi? Her unhinged response to a perfectly logical question deserves all the mocking it is getting, especially by NBC’s Saturday Night Live. To refresh your memory, during a press conference last week Speaker Pelosi addressed questions about impeachment. She claimed that she has a “heart full of love” and Rosen only asked the question because Rep. Doug Collins accused her of having anger and...

Back in 2016, we speculated about a brokered convention.  Remember the stories about Trump failing in the first vote and Kasich taking it in the third round?    Well, it may happen this time, as Karl Rove is outlining:    There’s growing concern among Democrats that their July 2020 convention in Milwaukee could open without a candidate who receives a majority of the vote on the first ballot.  The last time that happened to the Democrats was 1952. There are now four candidates—Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren—who have enough support and money to be competitive through...

“‘When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road’” (Matthew 13:19). The hard-packed soil beside the road represents the unresponsive hearer who “does not understand” the gospel, solely because of his or her own hardheartedness. The person has continually resisted the gospel or anything else related to true spirituality because of an insensitive, impervious heart. The Word lies on the surface of the unresponsive heart, exposed to attack by Satan....

A year has passed since two Central American caravans arrived in Tijuana last fall... everything has changed... Today, few Central American asylum seekers have been able to make it to Tijuana. In the last 12 months, a combination of US deterrence policy and a massive Mexican immigration crackdown has destroyed northward movement towards Tijuana... Tijuana looks much different today than it did a year ago. When the caravans first arrived, the international media descended on the city in a swarm; camera flashes lit up shelters. Now, the city has mostly recovered from the chaos of last fall. Migration from the...

Somebody told Adam Schiff to pretend that he is fair-minded and hasn’t made up his mind on impeaching President Trump, apparently. Or else, he realizes some serious dirt on Democrats would be exposed.  Appearing on CBS’s Face the Nation, he reiterated to the incredulous host Margaret Brennan who questioned whether or not he would actually vote against impeachment, that he hasn’t made up his mind yet. Grabien screen grabs Yeah, right. Is there an outside chance that Schiff will vote against impeachment? Only if it looks like some serious dirt on Biden, Ciaramella,  or Schiff himself would be in...

The Pensacola Navy base shooter had been “infuriated” by an instructor who humiliated him by calling him “Porn Stash” in front of classmates, according to a new report. Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, who killed three young US Navy students in a shooting spree in Florida on Friday, had filed a formal complaint against instructor James Day in April, The New York Times revealed Sunday. Alshamrani alleged Day addressed him as “Porn Stash” — spelled that way in the complaint — in front of at least 10 other students as they were being dismissed from a meteorology class.

The House Judiciary Committee has issued a report claiming, essentially, that Congress is not bound by any standards of what is impeachable. Citing Justice Joseph Story, who wrote a 19th-century commentary on the Constitution, the report claims that it is impossible to establish any “comprehensive definition of ‘high Crimes and Misdemeanors’ or a catalog of offenses that are impeachable.” Instead, the report says, Congress must collect the facts and then consider whether impeachment is warranted. This conclusion is not unprecedented. It tracks the conclusions of some writers on impeachment, who (as I note in one of my scholarly articles) have...
