When Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz released his report this week, the damning litany of civil rights abuses committed by the FBI in the report sent Trump opponents scrambling to find a silver lining. After years of defending the FBI’s conduct and integrity, that position was no longer tenable. MSNBC’s Chris Hayes noted, “I don’t think there’s anything to celebrate” in the report, but seized on the idea that Horowitz’s report didn’t establish any political motivation for the FBI’s egregious behavior. “It seems useful to have a thorough factual record of the fact that Barack Obama did not...

Democratic White House hopeful Joe Biden released a sweeping immigration plan Wednesday that takes aim at a litany of President Trump’s policies and would implement a bevy of reforms in the current system. The former vice president's campaign says in the plan that several actions Trump has taken, including constructing a border wall and separating families, are “grounded in fear and racism.” “Trump has waged an unrelenting assault on our values and our history as a nation of immigrants,” the campaign added. “Addressing the Trump-created humanitarian crisis at our border, bringing our nation together, reasserting our core values, and reforming...

The FDA just approved a groundbreaking new treatment for cystic fibrosis, a disease that causes a life-threatening buildup of mucus in the lungs. This drug offers hope to the 30,000 Americans who suffer from this disease, many of whom lack viable treatment options. With the approval of this drug, cystic fibrosis patients have joined the countless other people whose lives have been improved by the dedicated efforts of American biotech firms. Some members of Congress underestimate how crucial private sector investment is to drug development. They believe that scientists at the National Institutes of Health develop the majority of new...

On Tuesday in Washington, D.C., at Politico’s Women Rule Summit, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) admitted the impeachment process of President Donald Trump has been going on for “two and a half” years. When asked about criticisms of “the speed” of the House Democrats impeachment, Pelosi replied, “Speed? It’s been going on 22 months—two and a half years, actually.”

If Muhammad cannot beat the infidels on the battlefield, he’ll outbreed them—literally: Last year it was reported that “Mohammed most popular name for newborn boys in the Netherlands for second year in a row.” Muhammad is apparently also the most popular name in England. In fact, Muhammad is one of the most popular names throughout Northwest Europe. And now, for the first time ever, Muhammad has made the list of top ten baby names in America. As the Baby Center explains: “Arabic names are on the rise this year, with Muhammad and Aaliyah entering the top 10 and nudging Mason...

In what is actually a hilarious report over at Politico, several aides to Joe Biden have been told by the former vice president that he's only in it for one term, or four years. If he's elected, he's "signaling" to them, he'll be happy to hand over the keys to the White House to his VP once his first (and only) term is up. According to the left-wing website, Biden and his top advisers are considering making a public pledge about the matter. The idea is that, if he tells radical-leftist voters he's only prepared to serve one term because...

After the report was released on the Russia collusion investigation, it has become clear that FISA requests were approved by judges based on the Steele dossier -- a report funded for and written by anti-Trump hacks. Over the last few years, however, many journalists denied this to be the case. Oh no, they said time and again, the Steele dossier wasn't (much of) the basis of the FISA request(s) to spy on former Trump adviser Carter Page at all. No sir. Twitter-user @Techno_Fog was so kind as to collect tweets from those journalists about the matter. To start with: the...

The new report from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is an absolutely damning indictment of the Steele dossier. The dossier, compiled by the former British spy Christopher Steele during the 2016 campaign, was a collection of damaging and unfounded rumors about candidate Donald Trump. It was paid for by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign, and overseen by the opposition research firm Fusion GPS. It was never verified, and some of it was laughably far-fetched from the very beginning. Still, the dossier's tales were taken seriously by officials in the highest ranks of the FBI --...

There is no doubt that Joshua Watson died a hero. The sailor, stationed at Naval Air Station Pensacola as he trained to become a Navy aviator, was shot multiple times by a wanna-be terrorist and Saudi pilot, but managed to escape the classroom where the shooting took place and alert responders to the location of the attack and who was responsible before succumbing to his injuries. One thing Joshua Watson couldn’t do was shoot back, and as Fox News reports, his grieving family is now speaking out in support of allowing members of the military to be armed on base....

The children of victims of Stalin-era repressions have the right to receive state housing in the cities where their parents had been deported from, Russia’s Supreme Court has said in a landmark ruling Tuesday. Amendments to the 1991 law rehabilitating victims of Soviet-era political repressions adopted in 2005 contradict the Russian Constitution because they make it “impossible” for their children to receive housing, the court said. The court instructed federal and regional lawmakers to amend their legislation to ease housing restrictions “without delay.” “This is practically the most we could have expected from the Constitutional Court,” Grigory Vaypan, a lawyer...

Morning "Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it." 1 Thessalonians 5:24 Heaven is a place where we shall never sin; where we shall cease our constant watch against an indefatigable enemy, because there will be no tempter to ensnare our feet. There the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest. Heaven is the "undefiled inheritance;" it is the land of perfect holiness, and therefore of complete security. But do not the saints even on earth sometimes taste the joys of blissful security? The doctrine of God's word is, that all who are in...

Does anyone have a link to the video of Obama reciting the Muslim call to prayer? I am fairly certain it was on one of the morning news shows the day after the election.

<p>Congress and the media obsess endlessly over whether President Donald Trump should be impeached.</p> <p>Both ignore $23 trillion of bigger problems.</p> <p>That's how deep in debt the federal government is now, and because they keep spending much more than they could ever hope to collect in taxes, that number will only go up. It's increasing by $1 trillion a year.</p>

The Black Hebrew Israelites have been labeled a hate group. The suspect wrote anti-Semitic and anti-police posts, an official said. An assailant involved in the prolonged firefight in Jersey City, N.J., that left six people dead, including one police officer, was linked on Wednesday to the Black Hebrew Israelite movement, which has been designated a hate group, and had published anti-Semitic posts online, a law enforcement official said. The violent rampage on Tuesday took place largely at a kosher supermarket where three bystanders were killed. The authorities now believe that the store was specifically targeted by the assailants. The law...

On Tuesday, while touring a Clinton Foundation program in New York City, former President Bill Clinton told Fox News that House Democrats were “doing their job” by impeaching President Donald Trump. Clinton said, “They’re doing their job as they see it, and we should wait to see it unfold. And the rest of us should go about our jobs and do them as we see it.”

Here is Time Magazine’s Person of the Year: Time’s Person of the Year is a 17 year-old girl who: – Was born in to great white privilege in her racially-homogeneous country of Sweden; – Has lived a prosperous and privileged life provided to her by her neglectful, attention-seeking parents, both of whom are performers and radical leftist activists; – Has been used and abused by every adult who has ever held influence over her life; – Is currently being held up as a poster child by the radical climate alarmist community in order to advance its globalist/socialist political agenda; –...

Today’s tell-tale picture as a memento of how the desperado Dems pulled the 2020 presidency of Hillary Clinton out of the 2016 raging fire The picture of the holier-than-thou Democrats in today’s announced articles of impeachment against President Trump alleging abuse of power and obstruction because of his alleged interactions with Ukraine, couldn’t possibly speak for them any louder. In fact, it positively renders blood-curdling screams.

Today, Obie came cutting through all the weeds, all the lies, taking patriots back to where the Dems’ announced “official articles of Impeachment” began—with Obama’s Fundamental Transformation of America What was witnessed yesterday in the Democrat Party’s delivery of the Impeachment Articles against President Donald Trump, alleging “Abuse of Power” and “Congressional Obstruction” based on his alleged interactions with Ukraine, was no less than Barack Hussein Obama’s Fundamental Transformation of America made manifest. To me, the release of Cuban exile Oswaldo Usategui (Obie’s) first YouTube called ‘Communism 101’, one day later is nothing less than providential.
