OK - I know FR is getting slammed. So I might be the first to say - HOW DISGUSTING Pelosi was tonight. Purposely holding up papers constantly to distract. Tearing up the SOTU immediately for the camera shot. What a petty human.

Unhinged Pelosi.  A public disgrace to our country  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YysM020Sl9s&feature=emb_title

Google-owned video giant YouTube blacklisted a Breitbart News video of a recent speech on the Senate floor by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) in which Paul names the alleged “whistleblower” as Eric Ciaramella. The video included the Senator’s arguments surrounding the impeachment trial, meaning that YouTube is now censoring the congressional and historical record of impeachment. After Breitbart News uploaded the video to its official channel, YouTube promptly locked the video in “private” mode, meaning that only a maximum of 50 viewers invited to see the video may watch it. It is therefore inaccessible to the general public. “I don’t care...

Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Tom Perez said Tuesday that the app blamed for delaying the results of the Iowa caucus will not be used in the remaining primary contests. "It is clear that the app in question did not function adequately," Perez said in a statement. The app was created by Shadow Inc., a company based in Washington, D.C. "It will not be used in Nevada or anywhere else during the primary election process. The technology vendor must provide absolute transparent accounting of what went wrong." Shadow, a company affiliated with Democratic nonprofit group Acronym, sold an app built...

The Standing Holy Synod of the Church of Greece, chaired by Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and All Greece, met yesterday. During the two-day sittings, the Holy Synod, taking into account the recent developments on abortion, “and based on the Bible and the Holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church of Christ, expresses its theological position on the fetus as a complete and integral human being since its conception and therefore, it considers voluntary abortion as a murder and does not accept it. Also, the Holy Synod, on the occasion of the decision of Minister of Education and Religious Affairs Niki Kerameus,...

As a tribute to Rush, I am asking his fans to remember their favorite update theme songs. He mostly stopped the use of these during the Bush43 and Obama years due to music royalty issues but here were some of my favorites:

A man was caught on camera Sunday night stealing a Kobe Bryant jerseyA man was caught on camera Sunday night stealing a Kobe Bryant jersey off Maria Aguirre’s front porch in Soledad. Aguirre decided to hang the jersey on her front porch to honor the NBA legend after his passing last month, but she forgot to bring it back inside at the end of the day. “When we checked our cameras around 3:30 in the morning, we’d seen that somebody had actually come up to our patio, took the shirt, and ran off,” said Aguirre. The jersey belongs to her...

Peninsula Open Space Trust said the caught-on-camera moment marks 'the first time this type of behavior has been captured' in the Bay AreaAn apparently playful coyote and their supposed badger buddy were captured on camera traveling together under a highway near the Santa Cruz Mountains. The adorable video made its way to Twitter Monday evening, quickly garnering hundreds of thousands of likes as well as prompting the creation of hashtags such as #CoyoteBadgerBuddies and #CoyoteBadger2020. Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST), which protects open space along the Peninsula and in the South Bay, said its wildlife cameras spotted the coyote and...

Friday night at a Bernie Sanders rally in Clive, Iowa, progressive filmmaker and activist Michael Moore blasted the Democratic National Committee... "I watched the debate in Iowa here two weeks ago -- the all-white debate -- and the fact that the Democratic, the DNC will not allow Cory Booker on that stage, will not allow Julian Castro on that stage, but they are going to allow Mike Bloomberg on the stage? Because he has a billion f***ing dollars!" Moore raged. Sanders campaign co-chair Nina Turner said this week that the addition of former Clinton staffer John Podesta to the DNC...

In 1975, the government of conservative Prime Minister Malcom Fraser held a plebiscite to choose a national song for Australia. Advance Australia Fair won in a field of four with 43%. The long standing national anthem, God Save The Queen came third with 19%. Waltzing Matilda was the choice of 28% including me. Sadly, in this matter, I am a bit too much like Nancy Pelosi. In my heart, I still don’t accept the result. Waltzing Matilda is the story of an itinerant man who gets caught by three mounted troopers after he stole a sheep. He commits suicide to...

Former Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz questioned why House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff is allowed a security clearance when he “continues to lie.” “I still, to this day, do not understand why Adam Schiff has a security clearance. He continues to lie. He continues to put out information that he knows is not true. He has stood in front of the United States Senate and talked about things that are not in the impeachment,” Chaffetz told Fox & Friends. Chaffetz also responded to the news from the night before that Adam Schiff had warned that President Trump could sell Alaska...

President Trump will tell Americans in his annual State of the Union address Tuesday night that he and his supporters have “rejected the downsizing of America’s destiny” through an agenda of reduced taxes, low regulations and fair trade. “We are moving forward at a pace that was unimaginable just a short time ago, and we are never going back!” Mr. Trump will say, according to speech excerpts released by the White House. In his prime-time speech on the eve of his acquittal in his Senate impeachment trial, Mr. Trump will focus on the strong economy under his leadership that is...

Investigative journalism is challenging when the propagandists in mainstream and social media do everything they can to discredit the truth. This is what James O’Keefe at Project Veritas deals with on a regular basis as they drop bombshell after bombshell about Democrats, mainstream media, and Big Tech. Among those exposed by Project Veritas recently are Bernie Sanders’ campaign, CNN, and Twitter. This is why it’s not surprising Twitter has locked his account based on a Tweet last month that called for a correction from mainstream media.

Candidates, members of Congress, and activists are outraged over debate rule changes that bow to a billionaire. Grinnell, Iowa—Michael Moore could barely contain his fury. After the Democratic National Committee signaled Friday that it would abandon a grassroots-funding requirement that ensured candidates had to prove their appeal by attracting tens of thousands of small donations, Moore told a crowd of 2,500 that had packed into a cavernous concert hall near Des Moines, “You had to show you had a certain number of Americans that would give you a buck, that’s all the rule said, to show you have support. And...
