"I never saw another party have so much interest in a Democratic caucus. I wonder why they're coming. I wonder why they're here." Biden told voters in Newton on Thursday afternoon. Trump is holding a rally in Des Moines Thursday evening, four days before Democrats gather to caucus on Feb. 3.

I have nothing to add. Here it is.Rep. Adam Schiff sings "Meet the Mets" (C-SPAN)I guess it was before he became the bitter freak scumbag he later turned out to be.

In September 2019, I wrote a long Reason feature about how New York City politicians and education bureaucrats, particularly Department of Education (DOE) Chancellor Richard Carranza, were pushing through their preferred policy changes in part by weaponizing charges of "racism" against opponents, skeptics, and parents. So what's Carranza been up to since then? Weaponizing charges of "racism" against opponents, skeptics, and parents! The kerfuffle currently making local headlines concerns a raucous Jan. 16 Community Education Council meeting in Queens that Carranza cut short after being booed and yelled at by parents of middle-schoolers who had been assaulted on campus. Critics...

I wrote a best-selling book about Justin Trudeau in the last election. After the election, I received a letter by registered mail notifying me that I was being investigated for that book. Trudeau’s elections commissioner claimed it was an illegal campaign activity and demanded that I submit to an interrogation. So I went to Elections Canada’s Ottawa headquarters last week, where I was grilled for an hour by two 30-year veterans of the RCMP — and they refused to rule out a police raid on Rebel News headquarters

During the floods in New Orleans a policeman went to a lady’s house and advised her to evacuate. “No, the lord will help me” she said. Later as the water was up to her door a fireman arrived and told her it’s time to evacuate. She once again replied “no the lord will help me”. Finally she was on her roof when a National Guard soldier came in a boat and told her it’s time to evacuate. “No the lord will help me” she once again replied. Later she died and met the lord in heaven. “Lord why didn’t you...

WASHINGTON — Attorney General William Barr on Thursday named Timothy Shea, one of his closest advisers, to be the next top prosecutor in the nation’s capital.

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.(Matthew 18:10)Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offenses will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.(Luke 17:1-2)The world of pagan sexual anarchy that our blind leaders are intent on plunging us into,...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters the president will not be exonerated if the Senate acquits him by this weekend because the trial would not be a fair one. “He will not be acquitted,” Pelosi said Thursday. “You cannot be acquitted if you don't have a trial. And you don't have a trial if you don't have witnesses and documentation.”

A Long Island man arrested after a fatal drunken wreck Jan. 12 bragged to cops, “The laws changed, I’ll be out tomorrow,” thanks to new bail reform measures, prosecutors said Thursday. Jordan Randolph, 40, who did walk free the next day, also told cops the deadly crash was “just a DWI.” Details of the boozy bust were revealed Thursday as Randolph was hit with a 24-count indictment for vehicular manslaughter, aggravated vehicular homicide and a slew of other charges in the crash that killed 27-year-old Jonathan Flores-Maldonado. “As Jonathan Floes was left taking his last breaths and dying, this defendant...

Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg ignited a backlash on Twitter, particularly among people of color, after he claimed that the country’s next president needed to embody the values of “the American Heartland.” “In the face of unprecedented challenges, we need a president whose vision was shaped by the American Heartland rather than the ineffective Washington politics we’ve come to know and expect,” Mr. Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, tweeted to his 1.6 million followers Wednesday afternoon. As of Thursday morning, the tweet racked up only 1,300 retweets and a whopping 10,600 replies, with some users accusing Mr....

Washington (CNN)Three attorneys general of states that recently ratified the Equal Rights Amendment are suing to have the amendment added to the Constitution, challenging a Justice Department opinion that the deadline for passage expired decades ago. In a complaint filed Thursday, the attorneys general of Virginia, Illinois and Nevada are asking the US District Court in Washington, DC, to force the archivist of the United States, who administers the ratification process, to "carry out his statutory duty of recognizing the complete and final adoption" of the ERA as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution. The ERA would ban discrimination on...

CIRCUS MAXIMUS: U.S. SENATE 2020: Roman Senator Brutus would be amused to see the U.S. Senate today struggling to impeach a President using far more niceties than he did during Caesar’s reign.. In 44 BC when Caesar was Emperor and Dictator he was pushing hard to make himself a monarch; i.e. King. Some Roman Senators objected and decided to impeach him permanently. Brutus and others attacked Caesar and carved him up high, wide and continually. It was Rome’s day of the Long Knives.. Fast forward a couple thousand years to January 2020 and the U.S. Senate. The idea of carving...

[Barf Alert] Lonsdale pastor apologizes for ‘words that were hurtful to Muslims’ A Lonsdale pastor has apologized after remarks he made about Muslim immigration and Islam being “the greatest threat in the world” sparked controversy. “My homily on immigration contained words that were hurtful to Muslims.

(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House intelligence committee, has released all but one of the transcribed interviews his committee conducted privately as part of their impeachment process. At the impeachment trial on Wednesday, Republicans asked why Schiff is still withholding the transcript of Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, who testified about the whistleblower and his complaint in closed, executive session on Oct. 4.

Schiff explained to the Senate: The intelligence committee is continuing its ongoing oversight to determine why and how this...

“On my first day as president, I will sign an executive order that puts a total moratorium on all new fossil fuel leases for drilling offshore and on public lands. And I will ban fracking—everywhere.” — Elizabeth Warren The modern, post-Obama Democratic party has little that defines it more clearly and unambiguously than its environmental agenda. Gun control may run a close second, but no other issue seems to be more uniformly agreed upon by Democratic leadership and the base than environmentalism. Within health-care policy there are broad differences between leading presidential candidates, with some such as Elizabeth Warren and...

Spend enough time around Capitol Hill and you’ll inevitably hear phrases like “Worse than Watergate,” or worse yet, “The Ukraine.” But, while the American people are being forced to watch the underwhelming, direct-to-DVD sequel of Watergate, some companies are taking advantage of the distraction to craft legislation that would be a boon to their bottom lines – and a disaster for everybody else, especially taxpayers. In particular, struggling mega-corporation Boeing is stealthily trying to use the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as its own personal piggy-bank while leaving taxpayers in the lurch by getting lawmakers to craft legislation giving Boeing...

Cardinal Cupich warns against the Church entering partisan politics NEW YORK - One day after President Donald Trump became the first sitting president to address the March for Life, Cardinal Blase Cupich cautioned that “the Church’s job is not to discern which political, partisan or military force we should support in order for good to triumph,” but to see Christ as the “starting point” for the Church’s social ministry.“What is needed is an integrated and consistent approach, with the priority being our attention to what Christ is doing, saving us by bringing us together, bringing about the Kingdom of God...
