    A new internal poll conducted for the Jeff Sessions for Senate campaign by On Message shows the candidate slipping by one percentage point, while Rep. Bradley Byrne gained to overtake former Auburn Coach Tommy Tuberville. The new poll of 700 likely Republican Voters shows Sessions with 43% compared to 44% in a previous poll from December. It also shows Rep. Byrne at 22% a surge of 7 points. In the previous poll, Byrne was at 14%. While the race seems neck and neck between Byrne and Tuberville, who is at 21%, the surge for Byrne is significant for the prospect...

    Italy: Francis' “Our Father” Will Be Introduced The Francis Church in Italy will push its bogus version of the Our Father upon the Novus Ordo faithful beginning with the first Sunday of Advent 2020.It will exchange Christ's invocation "and lead us not into temptation" with the Francis statement "do not abandon us to temptation."Pro-homosex Chieti Archbishop Bruno Forte told AdnKronos.com (January 27) that the erroneous text is contained in a new edition of the Novus Ordo missal that will be published after Easter.The version is so bad that even the German bishops refused it. It will further separate the dwindling...

    Republican Gary Gates Tuesday appeared headed to a smashing victory over Democrat Eliz Markowitz in a special runoff election for a vacant state House seat in the Houston suburbs where Democrats hoped an upset win would kick start efforts to win control of the Texas House in 2020. In the early vote, Gates, with 10,707, votes, was leading Markowitz, with 7,461 votes, 59% to 41%. If he prevails when all the votes are counted, Gates will serve the unexpired term of state Rep. John Zerwas, R-Richmond, who announced in mid-summer that he was stepping down from representing House District 28...

    The Republican National Committee launched a new ad on Tuesday in response to CNN personalities Don Lemon, Rick Wilson, and Wajahat Ali mocking President Trump's supporters as uneducated and illiterate. . . . "He knows that this is, you know, an administration defined by ignorance of the world, and so, that's partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience. You know, the credulous boomer rube demo that backs Donald Trump."

    A Pima County Superior Court judge sentenced 56-year-old Dorothy Flood on Monday in the killings of Jorden and Jaden Webb last April. Flood was the guardian and sole caregiver for the boys after her daughter died in 2017. According to court documents, the twins had severe autism and were nonverbal, and detectives said Flood told a relative that they boys had become too much for her as the boys had been having trouble sleeping. Flood originally was charged with first-degree murder but she pleaded guilty last month to manslaughter as part of a deal with prosecutors. Flood will be given...

    How the current impeachment “trial” turns out is anybody’s guess but hardly the only unknown in theongoing coup against President Trump. As many believe, if nobody in the FBI or DOJ winds up doing prison time, the Deep State wins and future presidents will face similar coup attempts. Some clues on what might or might not happen to FBI bosses emerged Sunday in “Government on Trial,” a Fox News documentary on the FBI siege at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in 1992. That operation targeted the family of Randy Weaver, whom the establishment media relentlessly smeared as a “white separatist” and “white...

    WASHINGTON — As Senate Republicans wrestle with the sizzling question of whether to allow John Bolton to testify - with the likelihood becoming more likely - President Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment defense wrapped up Tuesday with both sides planning to use up to 16 hours of questions to jab the other side and present rebuttals. Trump’s defense concluded with Bolton’s bombshell revelations in his unpublished memoir scrambling what had been Trump’s successful - so far - stonewalling strategy preventing Democrats from obtaining information from documents and key witnesses, including ex-National Security Advisor John Bolton and acting chief of staff Mick...

    Senate Republicans emerged from a closed-door caucus meeting on Tuesday voicing renewed confidence that they will bypass a nasty witness fight in the impeachment trial. “The consensus is that we’ve heard enough and it’s time to go to a final judgement,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) told reporters. Asked if the trial proceedings should go past Friday, Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), another member of Senate GOP leadership, said it “shouldn’t.” “We’re kind of confident,” Thune added. The chamber is expected to vote Friday on whether to allow new witnesses or documents in President Trump's trial. If they skip witnesses, that will...

    “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free….” Those words that grace our Statue of Liberty refer to people like my parents. My father, an oil rig worker from Colombia, and my mother, a bank teller from Honduras, came to the U.S.A. and found a place where freedom is treasured and hard work is rewarded. Our family would soon also find that even the greatest nation on earth has hardship, and that politicians often let that hardship go unaddressed, taking urban areas like North Houston for granted. We deserve better. That’s why I’m running for...

    Clips tagged #Swamp Lobbyist bought tropical land from Biden’s brother In 2005, Joe Biden’s brother bought an acre of land with excellent ocean views on a remote island in the Caribbean for $150,000. He divided it into three parcels, and the next year a lobbyist close to the Delaware senator bought one of the parcels for what had been the cost of the entire property. Later, the lobbyist gave Biden’s brother a mortgage loan on the remaining parcels.

    In collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), the team is launching the Solar Orbiter that will use Venus's and Earth's gravity to swing itself out of the ecliptic plane — the area of space aligned with the sun's equator, where all planets orbit. From this position, the craft will feast its eyes on the first-ever look of the massive yellow dwarf star, which will provide scientists with better data to predict solar storms more accurately. Solar Orbiter is equipped with a custom-designed titanium heat shield coated with a specific phosphate that withstands temperatures over 900 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing it...

    A Democratic super PAC is expected to release a new ad campaign Wednesday that targets Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and the heart attack that he suffered late last year. The ad from Democratic Majority for Israel features six Iowa voters and argues Sanders would be unable to beat President Trump in November, The New York Times reported. “I like Bernie, I think he has great ideas, but in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa, they’re just not going to vote for a socialist,” a male voter says in the ad, according to the Times. “I just don’t think Bernie can beat Trump.” Another...
  • Bernie Sanders' Wealth Tax Would Be Bad For Workers. The Vermont socialist has always claimed to be a champion of the working class. But over time, his wealth tax would fall heavily on ordinary Americans.

    [A]ccording to a recent study by former Congressional Budget Office director Douglas Holtz-Eakin and Gordon Gray, both of whom are now affiliated with the conservative policy organization American Action Forum (AAF), the effects of a wealth tax would extend throughout the economy, reducing the supply of capital and decreasing investment, which would negatively impact worker pay. Sanders' wealth tax would cost workers about $1.6 trillion over a decade, they estimate. Over time, as the impact of the tax grew, workers would end up implicitly shouldering about 63 percent of the burden. The wealthy would indeed have less wealth, but workers...

    A man who had been handcuffed with his arms behind his back by police in Maryland was shot and killed inside an officer's cruiser. Prince George's County police officers responded Monday night to reports that a driver had struck multiple vehicles near the Temple Hills community, spokeswoman Christina Cotterman told news outlets during a news conference. When officers located the driver, they smelled PCP and believed the man was under the influence, Cotterman said. The suspect was buckled into the front passenger seat of the vehicle, which Cotterman said is normal for Prince George's County police. The officer then got...

    McConnell says he doesn't have the votes to block witnesses? If McConnell can't block witnesses, then make Biden, Adam Schiff, Pelosi, the whistleblower - all of them and more - testify. If not, we the base of the Republican Party have the votes to block any Republican in the Senate from being re-elected. Why should Republicans exercise "The Senate shall have sole power to try all impeachments" as the Constitution says and in the same manner Democrats did with their "sole power" in the House? To bring an end to the Age of Impeachment. Republicans did not get to call...

    The largest Orthodox church in the world will be built in the territory of the female monastery dedicated to the "Bread Dispenser" icon of the Mother of God. This cathedral should be capable of gathering nearly 40,000 faithful within its walls. The starets of the monastery, Igumen Sergiy (Romanov), announced the project. He is an almost legendary and rather mysterious character, with links to many Russian public figures: the Duma deputy Natalja Poklonskaja (ex-Crimean prosecutor), the hockey champion Pavel Datsjuk, the singer Aleksandr Novikov, and others, including several entrepreneurs and oligarchs, all ready to finance the grandiose project. Its construction...
