    Nigel Farage was cut off as he delivered his final speech in the European Parliament this afternoon because he and his Brexit Party MEPs started to wave Union flags. Parliament vice-president Mairead McGuinness switched off Mr Farage's microphone as he was finishing his address as she told the party's MEPs to 'put your flags away, you are leaving'. The cheering Brexit Party contingent then proceeded to get up and walk out of the chamber. The stormy clash took place as MEPs rubberstamped the Brexit divorce deal - the final hurdle which needed to be cleared for the UK to leave...

    Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) is being called to suspend her presidential campaign after an Associated Press story published Tuesday showed she may have mishandled a case while she was Hennepin County's District Attorney. As the county DA, Klobuchar led the case against Myon Burrell, who was a teenager at the time and was sentenced to life in prison for the 2002 murder of 11-year-old Tyesha Edwards. The AP story revealed that Klobuchar prosecuted Burrell, now 33, despite there being little evidence and even though his co-defendant confessed to the crime and said Burrell wasn’t there. Though Klobuchar was not the...

    Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) attempt to ask about the whistleblower whose report helped spark the impeachment inquiry is running into a roadblock in the form of Chief Justice John Roberts. A source confirmed that Roberts has indicated he would not read a question from Paul regarding the whistleblower at the center of the House impeachment inquiry. The question from Paul is expected to name the individual. Because Roberts is responsible for reading the questions that would put him in the position of publicly outing the person on the Senate floor. Paul indicated to reporters after a closed-door Republican dinner that...
  • Patriarch Kirill: “Christianity Has Nothing to Do with Ideology of Non-Resistance”

    His Holiness Kirill, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, stressed that Christianity and the ideology of non-resistance are not the same thing. It is essential to resist evil, but in a way so that evil does not seize us, he said. “Christianity has nothing to do with the so-called ideology of pacifism. Christ talked about the virtues of forgiveness, love for enemies and of not repaying evil with evil as one’s personal achievement and one’s inner spiritual work,” noted the Patriarch on Monday, January 27 during the plenary meeting of the XXVIII Christmas Readings. The Primate of the Russian Orthodox...

    LGBTQ activists slam Gov. Bill Lee for signing billNASHVILLE, Tenn. (ChurchMilitant.com) - Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee last week signed into law what had been touted by the Left as an "anti-LGBTQ" bill, protecting Catholic and other adoption agencies' right to refuse adoption by same-sex couples. Lee signed the bill because of his belief that defending religious liberty "is very important." During his first term in office, the governor has mentioned his Christian faith on multiple occasions. Tennessee faith-based agencies already prevent same-sex couples from adopting children. The new law will protect these agencies legally. The new legal protections have caught...

    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...

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 ...

    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...
