President Trump's approval rating hit 49 percent in a new Gallup poll released Tuesday, his highest mark in that poll since he took office. The poll, released on the eve of a likely Senate vote to acquit him on impeachment charges and at the outset of an election year, found 50 percent of those surveyed disapprove of Trump's job performance. Just 1 percent of respondents said they had no opinion. Trump's previous high approval rating in the Gallup poll was 46 percent, a number he reached in May after former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation did not charge him with...

Here's hoping 2020 is the best year yet!! President Trump should take the win in the Senate trial without dragging it out, then concentrate on winning the 2020 election with wide coattails, then bide his time as the cases against the various coup plotters wind their way through the justice system. Win the election, hold the senate, take back the house!! And then continue the work of making America great again: Build the wall, enforce the law, deport them all!! End DACA!! End sanctuary cities!! End anchor babies!! Continue cutting regulations, cutting government, cutting spending and cutting taxes!! Continue negotiating...

As was Sir Winston Churchill in the dark days of 1940, only Rush was there at first... the 1% standing alone against the onslaught of overwhelming and hostile Leftist media. Every attempt to ruin him has failed... Truth does that to lie... so lie HATES Truth and demands its destruction... as even 1% Truth terrifies 100% LIE!!! Oh Rush... you started a revolution! I recall the Book of Esther... Haman the kings Prime Minister, had 99% bow in submission to him... save one small Jewish guy, Mordecai, who bowed only to God! This sent Haman into RAGE (as Rush did...

MIAMI, FL—Super Bowl organizers were really worried about the risk of a wardrobe malfunction for the 2020 halftime show. Previous errors have caused millions to be exposed to terrible things like nudity, cursing, and The Black-Eyed Peas for the first time. Instead of risking a wardrobe malfunction this year, event planners decided to eliminate most of the singers' wardrobes. "We didn't want to risk someone's shirt or pants falling off, so we just got rid of the shirt and pants," said one choreographer. "You can't have a wardrobe malfunction without a wardrobe. It's a genius plan." In another major precaution,...

Whispers among members of the Democratic National Committee suggest there is growing anxiety about the rise of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Roughly half a dozen DNC members have quietly discussed reversing historic reforms that reduced the outsize influence of unpledged delegates, known as superdelegates, before the party picks its nominees for president and vice president this summer, according to Politico. The presidential primary of 2016 left Democrats bitterly divided, as liberal supporters of Sanders asserted superdelegates gave Hillary Clinton an unfair advantage. In August 2018, the DNC passed a measure to block superdelegates, which comprise elected officials and party leaders,...

A hot mic moment appeared to capture an NBC News panelist trashing the Iowa caucuses Monday evening after technical issues forced a massive delay in results. An issue with the phone application used to report results caused the delay, according to multiple reports. As of Tuesday morning, the results were still not in. “Oh my god, what an f-ing disaster,” someone appearing to be an NBC panelist could be heard in the background during the live segment Monday as the issue unfolded. VIDEO AT LINK..................... NBC News did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller....

McALLEN, Texas — As Washington, D.C., was navigating impeachment drama on a recent Tuesday, giant diggers along the Rio Grande were moving around mountains of dirt, continuing to add new sections to a wall along the southern border.Several of us stood watching in the gusty south Texas wind as the cement was poured and looming steel bollards were snapped into place. The new construction was creeping slowly toward its older counterpart, the section of wall built following the passage of the Secure Fence Act in 2006.Influx Affects American Landowners Near the Border As I chatted with the Border Patrol agents...

The newest of these was a little unusual because it was based on a pre-print of a real scientific paper, (since removed just a few hours ago) uploaded to website bioRxiv, where scientists can present their completed, or near-completed studies, prior to peer-review by other scientists. The work, by a group based in India, was entitled “Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag.”

The U.K. is clamping down on the release of convicted terrorists after a Sunday incident involving a recently released Islamic militant who is stabbed two people in south London. U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pledged to implement increased restrictions after the attack last weekend and November’s London Bridge stabbing that resulted in two deaths. He said the November attack has already prompted government efforts “to strengthen every element of our response to terrorism — including longer prison sentences and more money for the police,” Reuters reported. Johnson’s interior minister, Priti Patel, who manages police, said the government expects to...

Just because the Senate is about to acquit President Trump of charges Republicans believed never rose to the level of "high crimes and misdemeanors," don't think Democrats will raise the white flag of surrender. They (and their media allies) have only just begun. Next is a campaign to defeat enough of the 23 Republican senators up for re-election and, if possible (it doesn't look possible, but this is February), keep President Trump from winning re-election. Democrats have virtually no issues on which to run, except the promise of free stuff -- from Elizabeth Warren's student loan forgiveness plan, which does...

It's not a good morning for Iowa Democrats. They are trying to do damage control the morning after one of the most disastrous election nights in recent memory. Hours after the Hawkeye State voting ended, and there are still no results. The only thing we do know, is that the Democrats really bungled this process.  In in their new statement Tuesday morning, the party tried to give some kind of an explanation as to what the bleep happened. It was not any kind of cyber intrusion, they admit. It was purely technical incompetence. NEW statement from @iowademocrats -- "While the...

That's the word from Salesforce: Salesforce ✔ @salesforce And with the game time buzzer, the results are in... Here are the top 5 touchdown-worthy #SuperBowl ads that generated buzz on social today, measured by @marketingcloud: 1. Donald Trump 2. Avocados from Mexico 3. Google 4. Olay 5. Budweiser#SBLIV #SuperBowlLIV Salesforce says that impressions of Trump's commercials outdid all of those commercials and others.

In November 2018, as seen from Earth and certain spacecraft, the sun seemed to be calm. But it wasn't: The sun was experiencing what scientists call a "stealth" coronal mass ejection. And conveniently, NASA's Parker Solar Probe was completing its first close pass behind the sun, putting its instruments in a perfect position to see what was happening on Nov. 11 and 12 during this usually cryptic event. "If you've ever seen a coronal mass ejection image, you normally see a lot of activity in these images," Kelly Korreck, a solar physicist at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, said during a...

By the summer of last year, Glasgow had the highest number of housed refugees in the UK with almost 10% of the "asylum seekers" setting up shop in the Scottish city. The overflow of refugees, many of them from Pakistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan, has brought in government money, but also violence and crime. Refugees whose requests for asylum are rejected refuse to leave and remain on in Glasgow. Glasgow had been eager to cash in on asylum seekers, and in the last two decades was fundamentally transformed by the tide of migrants filling up its neighborhoods. As Pakistanis became the...

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh shared how his “deeply personal relationship with God” has sustained him as he battles advanced lung cancer. On Monday, Limbaugh, 69, told his 20 million listeners he has been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. The talk show host said he plans to take a brief sabbatical for further medical tests and to determine treatment, but hopes to return soon, Fox News reports. "This day has been one of the most difficult days in recent memory, for me, because I've known this moment was coming," Limbaugh said. "I'm sure that you all know by now that...

The strange videos have sparked concerns the fog is actually smoke from crematoriums burning coronavirus infected bodies "24 hours a day"...According to the World Air Map Wuhan’s pollution level is at “dangerous” with highs of 121 AQI, despite the fact the city has been in lockdown for over a week. The party have banned funerals and burials to speed up the disposal of bodies and stop the spread of the virus further.

Across the country, policymakers at all levels of government are exploring initiatives to address climate change. New York State’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act remains one of the most ambitious, with its requirement that “the statewide electrical demand system will be zero emissions” by 2040. So how do we get to a zero-emission system? The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) is working on a market enhancement that could not only help lead New York to success, but could also serve as a model for the nation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our proposal is to incorporate the social...

WASHINGTON -- Billionaire businesswoman Penny Pritzker, a major Democratic fundraiser and former commerce secretary under President Barack Obama, has endorsed Joe Biden for president. The former vice president’s campaign announced her endorsement on Wednesday. Pritzker’s support could give Biden a considerable fundraising boost. Pritzker is an heir to the Hyatt Hotel fortune and played an instrumental role in Obama’s rise, helping him raise money for his successful Senate run as well as his 2008 presidential primary campaign against Hillary Clinton. She served as Obama’s commerce secretary from 2013 until he left office. Her brother J.B. Pritzker is the governor of...
