Adam Schiff accused President Donald Trump of trying to threaten him Sunday in a tweet suggesting Schiff would “pay a price” — but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi used the same phrase on Senate Republicans just two weeks ago. Nancy Pelosi said they’d take Trump out “one way or another.” And that sounds a little threatening… But Adam Schiff and his Dem colleagues can sure dish it, but they clutch their pearly pearls when they get it. Trump tweeted Sunday morning that Schiff had not “paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our Country!”

It's been about 10 years since the public discovered Fast and Furious, the gun walking operation conducted by the ATF under the Obama administration. The ATF arranged for straw buyers to purchase guns from American gun stores and transfer them to arms traffickers who would give them to drug cartels in Mexico. Ostensibly, the ATF would then track down the cartels. But they lost track of the guns, and some were used to kill Americans. Yet where are the prosecutions of the Obama officials who ran it? The victims and their families have never received justice. But they're looking into...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem (Music in The Bible) Psalm 99 Psalm 99 1 The Lord reigns,     let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim,     let the earth shake. 2 Great is the Lord in Zion;     he is exalted over all the nations. 3 Let them praise your great and awesome name—     he is holy. 4 The King is mighty, he loves justice—     you have established equity; in Jacob you have done     what is just and right. 5 Exalt the Lord our God     and worship at his footstool;     he is holy. 6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests,     Samuel was among...

With at least 27 people killed and 18 million acres incinerated as of last week, the worst bushfire season Australia has seen in decades is a bad one, no doubt about it.   Reproduced with permission of the Western Australian Land Information Authority, the FireWatch map below shows the location of individual fires as of Jan. 14, 2020.  Disclaimer: The size of the icons on the map relates to the location of the fire and not to the size of the fire on the ground.  Any opinions expressed herein are mine and were not arrived at in consultation with the Western Australian...

The mayor of the Chinese city where a deadly virus broke out says he would be willing to resign if it helps the government contain its spread. Mayor Zhou Xianwang told state broadcaster CCTV that both he and Wuhan’s Communist Party secretary are willing to take responsibility for closing off the city, including being removed from office. As the virus spread through China and overseas, transportation links to the city were cut last week to prevent more people from leaving. Zhou also responded to allegations that the city was slow to disclose information in the early days of the outbreak,...

Steele yourself: the endgame is in sight. The Steele dossier was a hoax. Russia was a hoax. Quid pro quo is chicanery. Climate change hysteria is a hoax. All of them lies and fabrications spread organically with alacrity and growing lethalness, not unlike the Coronavirus, another pestilence that, while not a hoax, is quite likely a coverup. But take heart.The Democrats’ dream team is about to suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of their arch-enemy on the floor of the Senate. As for the rest, well, Homer has that covered as well:According to The D'oh! of Homer you might call...

"I pray that ... you may know ... the surpassing greatness of [God's] power toward us who believe" (Eph. 1:18-19). The same divine power that created, sustains, and controls the universe secures your salvation. God’s power is awesome! David wrote, “Thine, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Thine is the dominion, O Lord, and Thou dost exalt Thyself as head over all. Both riches and honor come from Thee, and Thou dost rule over all, and in Thy hand...

This website, which has been reliable, is showing the stock market down by 5000, then 2000, then 400 then 4000. It's crazy. Is the stock market going crazy or is it the website? Does anyone know whats causing this?

“Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens” (Proverbs 27:23-27).

Last week, we witnessed the latest episode of “Woke-scolds Attack” as Bernie Sanders committed the unimaginable crime of sharing a mild endorsement from comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan. Speaking with New York Times staff editor Bari Weiss, Joe Rogan stated that he was likely to vote for Bernie Sanders in the California Democratic Primary. Given that the Joe Rogan Experience is downloaded by hundreds of millions of listeners a month, it would be mind-bogglingly foolish for Bernie Sanders’ campaign not to try and take political advantage. Setting aside the arguably flawed logic in Joe Rogan’s argument - consistency of...

A girls’ basketball coach was identified as one of the fatalities in the crash that killed Kobe Bryant and his daughter Sunday, officials said. Christina Mauser — who worked at a private school in Orange County, California — was among nine people killed instantly when their helicopter crashed in Calabasas, according to Costa Mesa Mayor Katrina Foley. “My kids and I are devastated,” Christina’s husband, Matt Mauser, wrote on Facebook. “We lost our beautiful wife and mom today in a helicopter crash. Please respect our privacy. Thank you for all the well wishes they mean so much.” Also killed in...

Prof Claudia de Rham’s ‘massive gravity’ theory could explain why universe expansion is accelerating Cosmologists don’t enter their profession to tackle the easy questions, but there is one paradox that has reached staggering proportions. Since the big bang, the universe has been expanding, but the known laws of physics suggest that the inward tug of gravity should be slowing down this expansion. In reality, though, the universe is ballooning at an accelerating rate. Scientists have come up with a name – dark energy – for the mysterious agent that is allowing the cosmos to expand so rapidly and which is...

After three days of the House Managers’ rollout of the case against Donald Trump, it became clear Saturday morning that his defense team had some video clips of their own. The key difference: Adam Schiff’s team buried us in quotes and excerpts designed to bolster conclusions fashioned in their heads; the defense attorneys provided a roadmap of things people actually said and did. Repeated examples of Trump voicing concern about Ukrainian corruption. Repeated examples of other nations facing interruptions in aid if their behavior didn’t improve. Taking up only a fraction of one day, Pat Cipollone, Jay Sekulow and company...

The mother and step-father of two missing children from Arizona were reportedly contacted by police at a resort in Hawaii Sunday after months of searching for the couple. According to a statement obtained by FOX 10's Justin Lum from Idaho authorities, a child protection action has been filed on behalf of Joshua "JJ" Vallow and Tylee Ryan, and a court has ordered Lori to physically produce the two children to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare in Rexburg within five days of being served with the order. The order, according to the statement, was served to Vallow in Princeville,...

Morning "And of his fulness have all we received." John 1:16 These words tell us that there is a fulness in Christ. There is a fulness of essential Deity, for "in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead." There is a fulness of perfect manhood, for in him, bodily, that Godhead was revealed. There is a fulness of atoning efficacy in his blood, for "the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanseth us from all sin." There is a fulness of justifying righteousness in his life, for "there is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ...

The Monterey Bay is rich in beautiful sea life, with its pacific spiny dogfish, great whites, bat rays, harbor seals, sea lions, anemones, plankton, sea stars, and so much more. And of course, when young marine biologists look beyond this corner of the Pacific Ocean, the living permutations seem limitless. A quarter of a million species fill the world’s sprawling oceans, which cover more than two-thirds of the planet. As many as two million species are believed to lie undiscovered.

On Christmas Day, according to police, Josue Osorio-Quino brutally stabbed to death Juana Us-Perez in front of her children. He also stabbed, fortunately not fatally, her 14-year-old son, who had tried to protect his mother. We have since learned from court documents that this murder suspect is an illegal alien. He has previously been deported. Twice. Osorio-Quino could have gone anywhere. Why did he come to Philadelphia? Because Mayor Kenney’s declaration that we are a sanctuary city acts like a magnet.

America’s Mayor has the real story about Obama-era corruption in Ukraine. – Rudy Giuliani is currently the subject of an ongoing smear campaign by the Democrats and their corrupt media toadies. This is not surprising given the fact that the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York has spent most of the last year investigating the rampant corrupt in Ukraine committed by Joe Biden and various other high-ranking Democrats and their ne’er-do-well children. Smearing the messenger has always been the standard response by the Democrat/media complex whenever any investigator is hovering right over the target. Just ask...

A judge on Friday ordered four people to stand trial in a bizarre botched murder-for-hire plot involving a pimp and a love triangle that ended with two women dead in Oakland and San Francisco.
