Republicans are fuming over a planned move by Democrats to consider Iran legislation alongside a commemorative coin bill, saying the floor maneuver is designed to prevent changes to the Democratic-backed measures reining in President Trump’s ability to wage war. The legislative maneuver would prevent House Republicans from using a procedural tool to alter the two Iran bills at the eleventh hour since the measures would be tacked on as amendments to the coin bill. GOP lawmakers accused Democrats of attempting to silence them and said the move would set a bad precedent. “If that's the games they're going to play,...

Every year 3 million visitors make the pilgrimage to Ellis Island. It is estimated nearly forty percent of all Americans can trace their ancestors to the 20 million immigrants that were processed through New York and Ellis Island from 1892 to 1954. These prospective citizens were determined to escape authoritarianism, soul grinding poverty, war and its aftermath, immutable class structures as well as religious and ethnic persecution. Once here they would immerse themselves in learning English and the nation’s founding documents in preparation for the most gut wrenching (passing the oral citizenship test) and emotional (the swearing in ceremony) day...

Morning "The things which are not seen." 2 Corinthians 4:18 In our Christian pilgrimage it is well, for the most part, to be looking forward. Forward lies the crown, and onward is the goal. Whether it be for hope, for joy, for consolation, or for the inspiring of our love, the future must, after all, be the grand object of the eye of faith. Looking into the future we see sin cast out, the body of sin and death destroyed, the soul made perfect, and fit to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. Looking further...

Three moderate Democrat senators — Joe Manchin (WV), Doug Jones (AL), and Kyrsten Sinema (AZ) —may ultimately vote to acquit President Donald Trump in the upper chamber’s impeachment trial, according to a new report. At least one of the senators have signaled that they could vote in favor of only one impeachment article — the abuse of power — but oppose obstruction of Congress.

CHICAGO - Beyond Meat said on Wednesday it will supply plant-based “fried chicken” to several KFC stores in Tennessee and North Carolina, after a test conducted last year showed strong consumer demand. Fast-food chains including McDonald’s, Burger King, and Dunkin Brands have raced to add imitation meat products to their menus as Americans cut down on animal protein consumption. While those companies have rolled out imitation pork or beef patties, Yum Brands Inc’s KFC is the first to launch plant-based “chicken.” The product is 80 calories per piece and looks a bit like a fried chicken nugget, with a sinewy...

LOS ANGELES – Harvey Levin not only has his thumb on the pulse of Hollywood, but the lively lawyer is also plugged into the goings-on within the royal family in a big way. Fox News went inside the studios of Thirty Mile Zone (TMZ) and sat down with Levin, who founded the outlet, to pick his brain about what viewers can expect to see from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following their announcement earlier this month that they will take "a step back” as senior members of the royal family. Levin was tapped by FOX to executive produce “Harry &...

MIAMI — A powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck 86 miles northwest of Jamaica on Tuesday afternoon, sending seismic energy that could be felt throughout the northern Caribbean and as far as coastal Florida. The earthquake and ensuing aftershocks opened sinkholes on the Cayman Islands and swayed buildings from Jamaica to downtown Miami. Construction workers in Kingston kept laboring on a rooftop and schoolchildren took shelter under their desks as the ground shook. Mirrors vibrated in Sancti Spiritus, Cuba, where residents reported feeling such tremors for the first time in their lives. A man in the Bahamas thought he was having...

My new film and best-selling book of the same name, The Trayvon Hoax: Unmasking the Witness Fraud that Divided America, has made real inroads into the public consciousness as regards the witness fraud in the George Zimmerman trial. However, the publicity effort has been battling what I have come to call “The Gospel of Trayvon.” “The Gospel of Trayvon” is the fiction into which black Americans have been indoctrinated for almost eight years. The Gospel maintains that across America there are armed white men in the streets, cops especially, eager to shoot unarmed black people at the slightest suspicion and...

South Korea police are stepping up law enforcement measures against individuals who do not comply with coronavirus checks in the country, as the death toll rises to 132 in neighboring China. Police have been sanctioned to arrest or use force against individuals who do not follow quarantine orders. Suspected patients who refuse quarantine or undergo treatment can be fined as much as $2,500, local newspaper JoongAng Ilbo reported Wednesday. Law enforcement in South Korea can also use mobile phone tracking technology to locate a suspected patient, most likely without a warrant, if the subject does not respond to phone calls...

VIDEO As expected the Mainstream Media completely shifted gears after the White House Legal Team made their arguments against impeachment to the Senate. In stark contrast to the gushy attitude they displayed towards the House Impeachment managers, the MSM were openly hostile toward those defending President Trump. This November 3 will be a very very tough night for Joe Scarborough.

An alliance of retailers and independent debit card networks has invented a lobbying group aimed at funneling consumers’ money to its members, while ruining credit cards for millions of Americans. The outfit, known as the “Secure Payments Partnership,” claims it supports “greater security” and “innovative solutions and payment systems” for credit card users. What the group really wants is for Congress to install more regulations and government control over credit card payments.Small, regional payment processing companies that use dated and dying PIN-based networks have joined the Secure Payments Partnership in an attempt to strong-arm Congress into requiring old-fashioned personal identification...

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Interior Department is grounding its fleet of about 800 Chinese-made drones but will allow their use for emergency situations, the department said on Wednesday. U.S. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt issued an order affirming a temporary cessation of non-emergency operations adopted in October as it ensures “cybersecurity, technology and domestic production concerns are adequately addressed,” the department said. The order allows for approved situations for emergency purposes, such as fighting wildfires, search and rescue, and dealing with natural disasters that may threaten life or property.” It also allows for training operations. Bernhardt in October also ordered a...

It truly is outrageous that John Bolton is pushing a tell-all book after leaving the Trump White House under strained circumstances — and prior to the 2020 election. Obviously, conservatives were wrong about Mr. Bolton............... John Bolton was recently spotted wandering the streets of Qatar for reasons unknown, sparking questions about why the mustachioed neocon war hawk was in the Middle East. A video of Bolton reportedly walking on a sidewalk in Doha, Qatar was posted on Twitter. Rep. Gosar tweeted out the bizarre video of Bolton walking down the street saying, ” We still don’t know why John Bolton...
