Michael Ford, 45, was found face down in a canal in Fort Meade on June 27 and Polk County Sheriff's investigators theorized he might have drowned before an alligator began eating the man's remains, NBC News reported. A hand and a foot belonging to Ford was found in the beast's stomach.

    (h/t HoneysuckleTN) Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation. Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the...
  • Hans von Spakovsky: Trump impeachment by House Democrats means a trial in Senate -- How would that work?

    The vote by the House Judiciary Committee Friday to adopt two articles of impeachment against President Trump makes it clear that Democrats are moving full speed ahead on the road to impeachment – regardless of the merits of their accusations or the integrity of their process. But speeding down this road looks like it will be dangerous for the Democrats, who face the strong possibility that the trip will end in a crash and leave the party with serious injuries that will cause it to lose majority control of the House in the 2020 elections. House Democratic leaders are so...

    The left wants its own way, no matter what. The right wants fairness in rules for both sides, no matter which side. The left wants no guns, but the Police are bad, so, little poor people, tough fekes, you're on your own. The right wants safety, consistent application of the laws, if that takes guns, tough fekes, lefties. The left wants no rightists in government or other influential sectors, the shortest route is to let anyone from anywhere (but here) vote. The right wants to raise their children in peace, that requires private property, they don't want to fight, but...

Researchers say you’re not alone.According to Business Insider, studies found there’s a spike in holiday music listening during the last two months of the year. In fact, the classic Christmas songs are played so much that people say they feel like the songs are on repeat.Researchers say this “incessant repetition” impacts listeners psychologically.At first, these festive tunes may spark nostalgia and get you in the holiday spirit, but researchers say “hearing Jingle Bells for the millionth time can lead to annoyance, boredom, and even distress.”Constantly earing holiday music can cause the brain...

    Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said Friday that he found it a little unsettling that President Trump is dreaming about him. “It did bother me when he said he dreams about me," the South Bend, Ind., mayor quipped during a Washington Post Live event. "I don’t know exactly what goes on in this president’s dreams, but I’m certain that I want nothing to do with them." Trump said at a rally in Hershey, Pa., on Tuesday that he had dreamed of Buttigieg. He also compared the White House hopeful to Mad magazine mascot Alfred E. Neuman. “I mean, you have...

    Hillary Clinton looked wonderfully youthful at an event on Broadway in New York last night - and aesthetic experts suggest it could be down to regular 'tweakments' and cosmetic procedures. The radiant former First Lady, 72, showed off a wrinkle-free complexion and plumped-up cheeks as she joined her husband Bill behind the scenes of Ain't Too Proud: The Temptations Musical at The Imperial Theatre. Sporting a vibrant pink tunic dress with black trousers and a statement gold necklace, Chicago-born Hillary smiled as she chatted and posed with the cast. Her glowing skin was noticeably smoother and her cheeks more defined...

    NBC News deserves some credit for publishing this story despite the fact that I’m certain it will make a lot of Bernie Bros angry. Looking at last night’s wipe out of the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn, the piece concludes there might be a lesson there for the American left about the limits of socialism’s appeal: The results in Britain last night were bad news for Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and America’s left — just 52 days before the Iowa caucuses.On Thursday, unpopular Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party trounced even more unpopular socialist Jeremy Corbyn and...

    UNSUNG HERO: Admiral Mike Rogers, Obama’s NSA Chief, Discovered Administration’s ‘702’ Illegal Spying Operation and Briefed Trump About Surveillance of Trump Tower I once posted about an Obama administration official who actually had integrity, a man who noticed that something was amiss and acted. It was this man who traveled to Trump Tower on November 17, 2016, to brief then-President-elect Donald Trump that communications from the building were being tapped. He did not notify his superior, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, beforehand. This man’s name is Mike Rogers. He served as the head of the National Security Agency (NSA)....

    In his 2018 State of the Union address, President Trump promised to move more Americans from welfare to work, from dependence to independence, and from poverty to prosperity. This year, on December 4, he delivered on that promise, finalizing one of the biggest welfare reforms in a generation. For more than 20 years, the law has said that able-bodied adults on food stamps should work, train, or volunteer at least part-time. But states like California, Illinois, and New York have used loopholes and gimmicks to waive and ignore that law altogether.

    Cafeteria Catholics and Pope Francis? Brietbart reports the less-than-surprising news that “A majority of practicing U.S. Catholics support President Donald Trump and give him a 52 percent job-approval rating,” whereas “Catholics who say that faith plays only a minor role in their lives gave the president an approval rating of just 28 percent.” That’s the conclusion of a poll of U.S. Catholics jointly conducted by EWTN News and Real Clear Opinion Research.The definitions of terminology employed in the poll are quite revealing of the correlation between belief in what the Church teaches and support for Trump, notwithstanding his unsavory pre-election...

    Speaker Nancy Pelosi landed at Number 3 in the 2019 edition of the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women from Forbes. This marks the 16th yearly edition for the list. It was released on Thursday.The most powerful woman in the world is once again German Chancellor Angela Merkel. This is her ninth consecutive year to earn that distinction. Forbes credits the distinction due to Merkel’s “crusading against anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe”, which sounds like a typical diversity-obsessed response. An argument can be made that Merkel’s cave to the open borders crowd that allowed thousands and thousands of migrants to cross...
