Rudy begins his expose on Biden/Ukrainian corruption.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) tweeted to cancel student loan debt. Then, this happened. **SNIP** Here is a sample from various Twitter users: “In this country, if one takes on debt it is one’s responsibility to pay it back. Not one’s neighbor, or work mate, or a complete stranger. To do otherwise is to teach irresponsibility.” “I already worked my butt off & saved to pay down my student loans. I refuse to now pay for the loans of others.” “It all amounts to the same thing. Stealing from responsible people, to pay off the debts of people who made bad...

Full title: Four ancient skulls unearthed in Mexico suggest that North America was a melting pot of different peoples and cultures 10,000 years ago The first humans to settle in North America were more diverse than previously believed, according to a new study of skeletal fragments. US scientists analysed four skulls recovered from caves in Mexico that belonged to humans that lived sometime between 9,000 to 13,000 years ago. The researchers were surprised to find a high level of diversity, with the skulls ranging in similarity to that of Europeans, Asian and ...

we then have a period from early November until the 20th of January, that interregnum period, when Donald Trump is still president, but he knows that he only has a few months left to serve. How do you think that period will go?” . . According to the former Nightline anchor, not well. He imagined the scenario where “millions” of Republicans might resort to violence

Republicans love to wail and gnash their teeth at the concept of a single payer for healthcare. And they should — the U.S. government would certainly destroy the quality of our medicine and shorten lives. The miracle of American healthcare today would be long gone with the creation a vertically integrated system run by Uncle Sam. As Ronald Reagan used to joke, the scariest words in the English language are, ‘We’re the government and we’re here to help’. However, hypocrisy is not something to be lost on any politician. So, it does not come as a surprise that the GOP...

Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic presidential front-runner and advocate of large-scale immigration, once tried to block the evacuation of tens of thousands of South Vietnamese refugees who had helped the United States during the Vietnam War. As a senator, the future vice president, now 76, was adamant that the U.S. had "no obligation, moral or otherwise, to evacuate foreign nationals," dismissing concerns for their safety as the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong swept south toward Saigon in 1975. His position was in stark contrast to the one he took nearly 30 years later over Iraqi and Afghan interpreters who...

by Joe Callen Just as desperate Democrats are pushing Senate Republicans to have John Bolton to testify against Trump to save their failing impeachment hoax, a new video was exposed that proved Bolton's PRAISED Trump's call with the Ukrainian President -- the same call he later denounced -- AFTER Trump fired him! President Trump’s former national security adviser Bolton changed his tune on how he felt about the commander-in-chief’s July 25 call with his Ukrainian counterpart after he was fired from his White House post. While Bolton claims he resigned in early September 2019, Trump said he fired him....

[Catholic Caucus] German bishops’ working doc calls for approval of contraception, homosexuality, women’s ordination The 'synodal path' working doc defended the use of contraception, masturbation, and homosexuality. January 29, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The working documents in preparation for the assemblies of the German bishops’ “Synodal Path” defend the use of contraception, the practice of masturbation, and an active homosexual lifestyle. Additionally, neither the question of the ordination of women nor that of making celibacy optional for priests is taken off the table. In 2019, four panels of experts were preparing working documents to serve as the basis for discussion among...

Deputy White House Counsel Patrick Philbin shredded House Intelligence Committee Chairman and lead Impeachment Manager Adam Schiff (D-CA) for his contact with the Ukranian whistleblower, which led to the impeachment inquiry, and eventually the current trial. As it currently sits, we are still in the dark about what role Schiff and his staff played in the whistleblower's inquiry. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) presented the question on behalf of Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Josh Hawley (R-MO). "Is it true that Shawn Misco and Abigail Grace and the alleged whistleblower were employed by or detailed by the National Security Council in...

If you are encouraging your children to watch football, you may be a "crappy" parent. Football exposes players to the risk of brain damage, and the pro game discriminates against Colin Kaepernick and African American coaches. As a parent who subjects children to football's flaws, you may be a co-conspirator to their hedonism, cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy, alleges Time magazine senior writer Sean Gregory. His story, "Is it Unethical to Watch Football With Your Kids?" will appear in Time's February issue. He begins: As another super bowl approaches, I keep thinking about a clear September afternoon at MetLife Stadium, home...

De Mattei: The Simony of the German Bishops “How I would like a poor Church for the poor” exclaimed Pope Francis (L’Osservatore Romano, March 17, 2013). The antithesis of his ideal however, is embodied precisely by the church closest to him – the German one. The German Episcopal Conference, which sponsored ideologically and economically last October’s Synod on the Amazon, is in fact the wealthiest and most privileged enterprise in all of Germany. This wealth comes from the Kirchensteuer, a tax that the State devolves to the Church, by retaining a figure amounting to 8-9% of  the overall tax burden...

Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) that the question of having additional witnesses is settled, and the Senate will vote Friday to wrap up the impeachment trial of President Trump.

Whether intentionally or not, feminist icon Gloria Steinem completely misunderstands what is at the heart of the pro-life movement. In a new interview with Variety, the 85-year-old slammed pro-life activism as “patriarchy” and compared pro-lifers – at least half of all Americans – to Adolph Hitler and the Nazis. To Steinem, a woman’s ability to abort her unborn baby is at the core of freedom and any opposition to abortion on demand is “patriarchy.” According to the interview, “… Steinem said Americans have yet to realize that controlling reproduction is the top priority of any oppressive government, and the very...

Dispensing more of her supposed invaluable expertise, MSNBC’s Deadline: White House host and Republican-turned-lefty Nicolle Wallace boasted Tuesday about the barrage of anti-Trump breaking news developments (like those about John Bolton) being akin to “volcanic eruptions” and voting against witnesses would be “political suicide.” Wallace took a stab at the first point during a break in the Senate impeachment trial prior to the final session, referring how there was a “morning news gush — and that's what these are” and “when you wake up to, like, volcano — volcanic eruptions.”“Today's eruption brought a second excerpt from the Bolton book, about...
