George Lopez said he and others would take out President Trump for half of Iran's reported multi-million dollar bounty on his head, and now ... he's got the attention of the Secret Service. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the U.S. Secret Service is aware of George's remark, and we're told they're working to see if his words carry any legitimacy as a threat. We're being told part of the process in making this determination will include an interview with GL in some fashion, preferably a face-to-face. One source tells us George can probably expect a knock on his door...

As we head into a 2020 offseason in which about 70% of the NFL’s players are black, and the NFL itself is celebrating a 100th anniversary that is filled with all kinds of racial inequality, the current state of black head coaching candidates, and other candidates of color, should be a much bigger concern than it is. How did we get here, and why does the NFL fail to find a solution to what seems to be a simple problem of excellence and equality?

Authorities located their mother, Lori Vallow, and found she had married Chad Daybell, a religious author who writes about prophecy and the end of the world.

He explained his concerns in a court filing last year. “[Lori Vallow] has recently become infatuated at times obsessive about near death experiences and...

Hollywood might want to start listening to Ricky Gervais – it seems like a lot of Americans are. The British comedian made himself an enemy of the movie moguls but endeared himself to millions of Americans Sunday night when he used his platform hosting the Golden Globes to lecture the glitterati in front of him on what viewers didn’t want to hear from them. “If you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech,” Gervais said on the ceremony aired by NBC. “You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything....

As we sit here on Christmas Eve, we can reflect on the overwhelming groundswell response across Virginia, to the threats of tyranny from Richmond. The MSM is carefully not mentioning any of it. Yet the vast majority of counties and towns have declared themselves as either 2A Sanctuaries, or Constitutional Counties. This has resulted in more rhetoric from Richmond, including threats of violence against the citizens of Virginia. None of this is complicated. You do not need to be an attorney to understand the Constitution. In regards to the 2A, it says right there: “The right of the people to...

The 175-acre site at the base of Mount Fuji will have clean, autonomous cars and 2,000 residents. While introducing a concept car is nice, Toyota chose this year’s Consumer Electronics Show to announce it is building an entire city, the roads packed with last year’s autonomous concept cars. Top that, competitors. The “living laboratory” will be built on 175 acres that used to crank out the Toyota Yaris. Efficiencies in production meant the plant was no longer necessary, freeing up all that land. Toyota said it would be “a fully connected ecosystem powered by hydrogen fuel cells.”

The poll also found that a majority of US adults now expect the countries to be at war in the near future. The national opinion poll found that 53% of adults in the US disapprove of Trump’s handling of Iran, an increase of about 9 percentage points from a similar poll in the middle of December. The number of adults who “strongly disapprove” of Trump’s actions in...

The Iranian parliament approved bill on Tuesday that designates United States military forces as terrorists, days after American airstrikes killed top Iranian military leader General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq. The bill is similar to the action the U.S. took last year when the Trump administration designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization. Members of parliament passed the bill declaring the U.S. military and the Pentagon terrorist entities, according to Iranian state media. Under the bill, the Iranian government will also provide $220 million to the IRGC to "reinforce its defense power in vengeance for General...

CNN has just settled a 275 million dollar law suit for slander against Kentucky HIgh School Senior, Nick Sandmann. CNN blinked because they knew that they were going to get their ass handed to them. The rest of the left wing media will definitely take notice and behave accordingly. Hopefully this break through for the 1st Amendment will help conservatives to step forward and sue the pants off media outlets who brazenly lie and slander them such as Justice Kavanaugh. In the mean time Nicks lawyers will be busy fielding a new set of clients. MAGA! https://www.newswars.com/cnn-settles-covington-catholic-lawsuit-out-of-court-for-undisclosed-amount/

Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Hossein Salami said Tuesday that Iran is seeking revenge against the U.S. that “will be hard, firm, regrettable, decisive and complete.” The major general was speaking at the funeral of Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani, semi-official domestic news agency IRNA reports.

Iraqi officials on Monday backed away from their threat to expel U.S. troops following the killing of Iranian terrorist mastermind Gen. Qasem Soleimani and some important Iraqi Shiite militia leaders. The tone in Baghdad appears to have changed after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened sanctions against Iraq and a draft letter announcing complete U.S. withdrawal of forces accidentally leaked. “The U.S. president’s threats to impose sanctions on Iraq that will ‘make Iranian sanctions seem somewhat tame’ led some Iraqi MPs to urge a softening of the parliament’s position. One Iraqi MP said Trump’s unpredictability made such a move risky when...

The Bible is the Word of God. It is an amazing revelation, showing us Who God is, and what he has done to save mankind from the sin that we are all prone to. Central to that revelation is the truth that God hates sin and evil, and everything that is false, but God loves man. He has made a Righteous way to save man from the consequences of Man’s own rebellion. In a recent sermon I made this observation, which some have found hard to understand; I said that the Bible doesn’t really say that much about Love. God...

The U.S. government on Monday launched a pilot program to collect DNA from people in immigration custody and submit it to the FBI, with plans to expand nationwide. The information would go into a massive criminal database run by the FBI, where it would be held indefinitely. A memo outlining the program published Monday by the Department of Homeland Security said U.S. citizens and permanent residents holding a “green card” who are detained could be subject to DNA testing, as well as asylum seekers and people entering the country without authorization. Refusing to submit DNA could lead to a misdemeanor...
