President Trump proudly displayed two newspapers with blaring “Acquitted” headlines Thursday morning, waving them before a National Prayer Breakfast audience in his first appearance since he was declared not guilty in his Senate impeachment trial. The president brandished the headlines mere feet from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., after both arrived at the breakfast.

Three federal judges heard arguments in Pasadena Wednesday about whether major oil and gas companies are financially responsible for the damages caused by climate change.

A dear friend of mine once asked me years ago of Rush Limbaugh, “Is he a better conservative or a better broadcaster?” From time to time over the years, we have returned to that debate whenever we’ve marveled at a particular bit of news Limbaugh’s show has made or a particular monologue that was so good we texted back and forth like teens. “Did you just hear what Rush said?” The question isn’t meant to be answered. It’s probably why my friend and I love to engage in it so often. It’s our way of returning to a discussion of...

The House impeachment managers for President Trump's now-completed trial in the Senate penned an op-ed Thursday arguing that Trump and the GOP-controlled Senate will be permanently stained by what they argued was an unfair process, leading to "not guilty" verdicts on both articles of impeachment. "By denying the American people a fair trial, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also deprived the president of something that he desperately sought — exoneration," the impeachment managers wrote in the Washington Post. "There can be no exoneration without a legitimate trial. Out of fear of what they would learn, the Senate refused to...

Donald Trump slammed Nancy Pelosi and Mitt Romney for using their faith to justify their actions in the impeachment trial and inquiry during his remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday morning. He did not mention the two by name but his meaning was clear. 'I don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say I pray for you when they know that's not so. So many people have been hurt, and we can't let that go on. I will be discussing that a little bit...

We are going to begin with the most predictable thing that's happened, the headline you could have written with total confidence months ago: "President Trump acquitted by U.S. Senate." It just happened. Impeachment is finally over. The result was never in doubt; the whole thing was like watching "Titanic" really. Oh pretty gripping! But no matter what happens in the opening scenes, you know the boat is going to sink in the end. Same in Washington. No matter how fervently Democrats wished otherwise, the president was always going to remain in office, and as predicted, both impeachment articles failed in...

China has applied to patent a drug candidate being developed by Gilead Sciences as the government rushes to find the cure for the deadly coronavirus, a move that could raise questions on intellectual property and marketing rights. The state-backed Institute of Virology in Wuhan filed the patent for using remdesivir to fight the novel coronavirus on January 21, according to a statement posted on its website two weeks later on February 4. If approved, the drug will be used to facilitate its potential global market entry, it added. Studies have been conducted outside the human bodies and found that Gilead’s...

President Donald Trump began his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast by taking veiled shots at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was on the stage with him as he spoke, and Sen. Mitt Romney, the morning after the GOP-controlled Senate acquitted him. Romney, citing his Mormon faith, was the only Republican to vote against his party and join Democrats in voting to convict Trump. Beginning his speech at the bipartisan annual event, Trump criticized "dishonest and corrupt people" who "badly hurt our nation" -- an apparent reference to Democrats who pursued his impeachment over what they claimed was an abuse...

A hotline that was used by Iowa precinct chairs to report Democratic caucus results was reportedly flooded with calls on Monday from President Trump supporters after the number was posted online, elongating the delays in the vote tallying process, sources told Bloomberg. Sources told the news outlet that Ken Sagar, a state Democratic central committee member, told other party officials on a Wednesday conference call that a high volume of people called in and expressed support for the president. The hotline number was posted online after an app used by the party to count precinct votes, largely malfunctioned, forcing the...

(h/t HoneysuckleTN) Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation. Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the...

It was a great speech, and amazing success by President Donald Trump Tuesday as he delivered the State of the Union Address. There were too many wonderful moments to highlight them all, but at the end of it there was little doubt that the President won the night and Democrats have their work cut out for them if they hope to win in November. But it wasn’t all good. Democrats refused to cheer things like record low unemployment, the lowest ever recorded for black and Hispanic Americans. Are they not happy that so many people have jobs? Possibly, government dependence...

Hillary Clinton knew that agreeing to open up about everything in her life for a new four-part documentary meant that there was no avoiding the painful and public scandal involving former President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. The former secretary of state spoke on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Thursday about why she decided to revisit the extramarital affair between Lewinsky and her husband for the upcoming docuseries "Hillary" on Hulu. "It was a really emotionally draining experience to go through it again, but I have to say, once I saw the whole four hours of the documentary, I hope that...

Flu season is in full swing across the U.S... it always happens in winter. ...everywhere on Earth where people have a winter season, they also have a flu season. Part of what makes the timing of each flu season unpredictable is that scientists still don't understand exactly why we have one at all. There have, of course, been lots of theories why flu peaks in winter: people spend more time indoors, with the windows closed, breathing each other's air.darkness (i.e. lack of Vitamin D and melatonin) and cold of winter weaken our immune systems, making us more susceptible to the...

The following is a Public Service Announcement for Democrats:But not soooo far left that you go off the road and into the weeds. If the trajectory is wrong you’ll be unsafe at any speed. “All the Democrats had to do was look normal, and they couldn't even do that.” – Megan FoxPosted from: MOTUS A.D.

A British man once struck down by coronavirus has described how the horror symptoms of the deadly disease almost killed him. Simon Parker, 47, thought he was suffering from a common cold when he fell ill on Boxing Day in 2016. But he became severely ill over the next few days and by New Year's Eve couldn't even breathe - forcing him to desperately call 999. He was taken from his home in Kingswear, Devon, to a hospital where he was put into an induced coma.

... [Sanders] has described himself as a democratic socialist. So what would that mean for business? A lot, as his various plans lay out, touching nearly every facet of business in America — and that’s aside from the tax proposals he has made to foot the bill, which we covered last week. Health Insurance: One signature Sanders policy is Medicare for All — a single-payer national health insurance program with “no networks, no premiums, no deductibles, no copays, no surprise bills.” He would extend medical coverage to include dental, hearing, vision, prescriptions and long-term care, and then some. Prescription Drugs:...

We have seen lots of strange things happen during President Trump’s time in the White House, and Mitt Romney added to that list on Wednesday when he voted to remove Trump from office. It was the first time in American history that a U.S. Senator has voted to convict a president that belongs to the same political party, and this probably marks the beginning of the end of Romney’s political career. Amazingly, Romney voted against Trump even though he knew that it would not affect the outcome of the vote. In fact, Romney knew that he was going to be...
