LOL: President Trump Literally Hands Out Bags Of Popcorn To Watch The Democrat Iowa Caucus Meltdown by DCWhispers | Feb 4, 2020 | DC Whispers The Democrat Party is having a very bad week, month, year…etc. In Iowa the Democrat Caucus is now mired in allegations of DNC fraud, voter suppression, and an ongoing cover-up meant to lessen the impact of a Bernie Sanders victory and subsequent Joe Biden campaign collapse. In Congress, the clown-car impeachment is coming to a screeching halt leaving President Trump to emerge victorious and Democrats in political tatters. Tonight, the president will address the nation...

A child who arrived last week at March Air Reserve Base as part of a group of Americans fleeing the coronavirus in China has been hospitalized after developing a fever, while another traveler who arrived at LAX has been quarantined at the base, Riverside County officials said Tuesday. The child, accompanied by a parent, was taken by ambulance to Riverside University Health System-Medical Center for testing and observation after developing a fever, according to a news release from county health officials. The move was taken "out of an abundance of caution," the release stated. Meanwhile, a traveler who arrived at...

A lot of liberals, etc. are blaming Trump for the IA problem. Today in NJ, I went to a diner, I overheard a man saying he is not proud to be an American, because of the Iowa issue. He says America is racist and corrupt, but he loves America like a stern father scolding his child to do better. He said conservatives are abusers and don't get "racism". What do you think?

As part of a DFG-funded project, a German-Tunisian team co-directed by LMU archaeologist Stefan Ritter has surveyed the ancient city of Meninx on the island of Jerba and reconstructed its trading links in antiquity. The port of Meninx was unusually situated and well protected. Incoming ships first had to negotiate a deep and broad submarine channel in the otherwise shallow bay, before approaching the city itself via another channel that ran parallel to the coast for much of its length. They then had to traverse a wide stretch of shallow water to reach the city's wooden and stone quays, which...

Human behaviour is influenced by many things, most of which remain unconscious to us. One of these is a phenomenon known among perception psychologists as "pseudo-neglect". This refers to the observation that healthy people prefer their left visual field to their right and therefore devide a line regularly left of centre. A study published on Friday, January 10, in the online magazine PLOS ONE now shows for the first time what effect this inconspicuous deviation had in the prehistoric past. A Slovak-German research team has investigated the alignment of early Neolithic houses in Central and Eastern Europe. Scientists of the...

These burials date to the Roman period in the United Kingdom, from about A.D. 43 to A.D. 410. Many of the deceased were buried with grave goods, such as pottery and brooches, in what is now Somerset, a county in southwest England... That community appears to be a culture native in the area, and seems to have merged Iron Age and Roman era burial practices. Some of the buried individuals likely held a high status within their community, Membery added. For instance, an older woman buried with her head on a pillow in a stone-built, coffin-like box (known as a...

Texas now is home to 11 cities that have declared themselves sanctuaries for unborn babies. On Jan. 28, Big Spring in West Texas became the largest city in the country to pass an ordinance to prohibit abortions and protect unborn babies’ lives, said Mark Lee Dickson, director of Right to Life of East Texas and the founder of the Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn initiative. The goal of the ordinance, which passed in a 4-2 vote, is “to protect the health and welfare of all residents … including the unborn and pregnant women,” Dickson wrote at Live Action News. The...

It’s a tribute to the great Rush Limbaugh that the reaction to his cancer diagnosis by the tens of millions of people he inspired was not to be devastated but to focus and to resolutely offer their thoughts and prayers in his fight. And he will fight – he’ll fight this like he has fought everything and everyone else that tried to take him out over the last third of a century. He is the archetypal conservative brawler, a no-apologies, no-excuses conservative who never submitted, never allowed himself to be domesticated and neutered by the elite. At the same time,...

A group of Italian archaeologists from the University of Udine in Italy has made significant progress at an ancient site in the Kurdistan Regionís Duhok province. Il Giornale DellíArte published some photos of the excavation site on Tuesday, describing the recent progress as "extraordinary." The new discovery includes the uncovering of 10 new rock inscriptions that show "the Assyrian ruler Sargon in the presence of divinity," which date back to 705-720 BC. The discovery took place along an ancient irrigation canal approximately seven kilometers long in the Faida district, located 20 kilometers south of Duhok. The joint project, called "Land...

Could there be a way to start an old school Operation Chaos in New Hampshire next week like the one Rush Limbaugh organized in Pennsylvania in 2008?

If you haven't been following the news about the 2020 Iowa Democratic caucuses, I'll try to sum it up with a quote from the classic film Idiocracy: Their $#!+ is all retarded. Nobody knows what's going on. It's chaos and pandemonium. Backbiting and recriminations. They're really embarrassed themselves, and it's making them very very angry. In other words, it's absolutely marvelous. I haven't stopped smiling all day. (snip) MSNBC's Zerlina Maxwell... knows whose fault this fiasco is. HINT: It rhymes with "white steeple." "Maybe I'll be the only person to say this today. The Iowa caucus is essentially the perfect...

Good grief, could House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler be any more transparent with his intentions here? Knowing all eyes will be on the Senate impeachment vote at 4:00pm on the same day, Democrat Chairman Nadler schedules the House oversight hearing on FBI (FISA Misconduct) for 10:00am Wednesday, February 5th, to bury it.

Musician Jennifer Lopez spoke out about the kids in cages part of her Super Bowl LIV halftime show. “Other people can try to build walls, keep us out or put us in cages. We are proud to recognize that all of us together are what makes this beautiful country truly great.” Lopez referred to the moment her 11-year-old daughter Emme performed “Let’s Get Loud” while sitting in a cage. Emme was surrounded by other young dancers enclosed in cages.

ROME, February 4, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — In line with Pope Francis’ controversial criticism of the sixth petition of the Lord’s Prayer, the Italian Bishops’ Conference has announced it will introduce a revised translation in the coming months.  The Missal containing the new version of the Our Father will be published in Eastertide and introduced into the liturgy at the beginning of Advent,...

Nearing the end of his impeachment trial and on the eve of his third State of the Union address, President Trump’s job approval rating hit its highest level since he took office in the latest Gallup poll: 49 percent, compared to 50 percent of respondents who disapprove. The survey, released Tuesday, showed a gain of 4 percentage points in Trump’s approval since early January. It also was 3 points over his previous high-water mark of 46 percent in late April 2019, around the time special counsel Robert Mueller’s report was released.

Uber has temporarily suspended 240 accounts in Mexico after the customers traveled with two drivers who are suspected to have come into contact with a coronavirus sufferer. The driver's had taken the individual, who had not been diagnosed at the time, on trips around Mexico City before picking up other customers. The ride-hailing app suspended all accounts involved to stop the novel virus being transferred to others using its taxi service. As many as 20,671 cases of coronavirus have been reported worldwide alongside 426 deaths from the virus. There are no reported cases in Mexico.

WASHINGTON -- Billionaire Michael Bloomberg is doubling the already massive amount of money he will spend on advertising, an effort to lift his Democratic presidential bid and capitalize on the chaotic outcome of Monday’s Iowa caucuses. “After more than a year of this primary, the field is as unsettled as ever. No one has made the sale or even come close to it,” Bloomberg spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said Tuesday. “Meanwhile, Mike is taking the fight to Trump every day, doubling down on the national campaign strategy we’ve been running from the beginning.” An exact dollar figure was not provided, but...

Late Tuesday morning, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky delivered one of the great speeches in American history. In the course of just five minutes, Paul exposes the whistleblower who served as the catalyst for this impeachment scam, a coup dÂ’etat on American soil. He exposes the Chief Justice of the United States and Adam Schiff and several Schiff staffers as co-conspirators. And he exposes not one, but two Vindman brothers as also serving as willing co-conspirators in this coup attempt. This speech is brilliant for its content, its courage, its timing and its delivery. Below is a clip, and a...

Let's keep prayers and encouragement going today!

OTTAWA - The Canadian government will collect billions of dollars in direct revenue from its federal carbon pricing system over the next four years, but most of the country’s households will still receive more in rebates than they initially pay, Canada’s budgetary watchdog said on Tuesday. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his then-majority Liberal government introduced a revenue neutral carbon pricing system in October 2018 as part of its pledge to combat climate change. Under the program, the majority of the proceeds from the fuel charge are returned directly to individuals and families through rebates. On Tuesday, the Parliamentary...
