    In the annals of piggishness, not much beats what's coming out of Joe Biden's mouth about Rush Limbaugh and "decency." According to Fox News: Democratic hopeful Joe Biden slammed conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh as undeserving of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and criticized President Trump's motives for awarding it at the State of the Union on Tuesday night. Biden, speaking to CNN's Anderson Cooper at a town hall event in New Hampshire on Wednesday, said Trump's decision to award the highest civilian honor in the nation to Limbaugh was "driven more by trying to maintain [his] right-wing political...

    Wuhan Central Hospital has denied that Li Wenliang — one of the eight doctors who tried to alert the public about the coronavirus when it was first emerging in Wuhan only to be reprimanded by local police — has died. “In the fight against the pneumonia epidemic of the new coronavirus infection, our hospital's ophthalmologist Li Wenliang was unfortunately infected. He is currently in critical condition and we are trying our best to resuscitate him," it said in its official Weibo account. The hospital’s statement came amid conflicting reports about whether Li had died, with some reports saying that the...

    Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) thanked his supporters for giving his campaign a "strong victory" in the Iowa caucuses on Thursday, days after the state's chaotic contest and as the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) chairman has called for a recanvass. The Iowa Democratic Party on Thursday released its latest batch of results, after technical mishaps delayed the results following the caucuses on Monday. With 97 percent of precincts now reporting, the results showed South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg with 26.2 percent of state delegate equivalents and Sanders with 26.1 percent. Sanders, however, is leading in the final votes tally, though...

    Suppose you want to help a DISABLED VETERAN or an elderly person who needs something to do. The answer could be: "Trump's Troops" for the 2020 election. This week the 'enemy' is in disarray. Time to strike them even harder. How? Mobilize anyone who wants to to become part of Trump's Troops. "Big Bad" Don would to have approve. His son "Don" would be a good choice in help forming this. I am willing to step forward and volunteer. I am certain there are many Veterans who would be willing to help. I am certain that there are many elderly...

    Georgetown University is one of the country’s top-ranked schools and has a roughly $1.6 billion endowment. But in 1838, the university was facing financial ruin. So the Jesuit priests, who ran Georgetown, sold 272 enslaved people to three plantations in Louisiana for $115,000 — or the equivalent of about $3.3 million in today’s dollars to keep their doors open. That’s how the ancestors of DaVita Robinson, Valerie White, Maxine Crump — all descendants of the 272 and featured in the Video Op-Ed above — ended up in Louisiana. And now, they may become the first people in the history of...

    Vice President Mike Pence accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of planning to rip up the President Trump’s State of the Union speech. During an appearance on ‘Fox & Friends’ this morning, Vice President Pence said, “It felt like it” when he was asked if he felt Pelosi had pre-planned the moment: Pence said Pelosi “dishonored the moment”… Pence was sitting about a foot away from Pelosi and could see what she was doing. Speaker Pelosi was on camera practicing ripping paper under the desk (above) and she pre-ripped the paper as seen in photos below: Pelosi is a hero to...

    Now that his son Hunter is no longer being paid all that money by Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company, former Vice President Joe Biden wants to ban fossil fuels. At a campaign event in New Hampshire, the Democratic candidate responded to a group of climate protesters by assuring them that he too would phase out fossil fuels if elected president. "These guys are okay," Biden addressed a group of protesters that interrupted his speech. "They want to do the same thing I want to do. They want to phase out fossil fuels and we're going to phase out fossil...

    LA Times ^ | February 5, 2020 | John Myers
    Following a series of sweeping actions to expand access to voting in recent years, a California lawmaker is pushing to require voters to cast a ballot in future elections. The proposal, introduced in the state Assembly on Tuesday, would be unprecedented and probably challenged in court should it ultimately become law. It would place the burden for determining the civil penalty and the ultimate punishment on the secretary of state, California’s chief elections officer.

    President Donald Trump gave his speech during this year’s prayer breakfast.

    In her petty and petulant act of tearing up Donald Trump's SOTU speech Nancy Pelosi did more than render paper. She tore the hearts out of real people. Disrespect for Trump at the SOTU is nothing new. Last year she clapped at Trump but this year was over the top. Let no one think that it wasn't planned. Pelosi tore up the family of Kayla Mueller. Mueller was kidnapped and murdered by bu Bakr al-Baghdadi who in turn was eliminated in a raid ordered by Trump. Trump recognized her parents, who gave him a standing ovation. Pelosi tore up Rocky...

    Hours before he cast the lone Republican vote Wednesday to remove President Trump from office on the charge of abusing his power, Sen. Mitt Romney said he fully expected the decision would make him a target of derision for the president and his allies. He didn’t have to wait long to be proved right.

    Despite the media and Democrats’ reliance on unnamed political operatives masquerading as whistleblowers, political spin, conspiracy theories, and, in many cases, outright lies, Senate Republicans held firm to the Constitution and acquitted President Trump of each of the Democrats’ sham articles of impeachment. Case closed. Zero wrongdoing. The senate made the right call. When the initial impeachment hearings were assigned to Adam Schiff’s Intelligence committee, Schiff tried to control the narrative by holding secret hearings in the Secure Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF.) The Schiff SCIF tactic was to make sure Republicans could not talk about the testimony without being accused...

    (CNSNews.com) – One day after the Senate acquitted him on two articles of impeachment, President Donald Trump opened his speech at the 68th Annual National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday by lashing out at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Democrats for trying to impeach and remove him from office. “As everybody knows, my family, our great country and your president has been put through a terrible ordeal by some very dishonest and corrupt people. They have done everything possible to destroy us and by so doing, very badly hurt our nation. They know what they are doing is wrong,...

    President Donald Trump's brilliant plan for Mideast peace has triggered a sandstorm of negativity and deflection from the regular naysayers who attack anything the president says and does. Critics of his recently unveiled peace aimed at resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should instead scrutinize the document and recognize its merits. This peace plan was carefully crafted over multiple years under the leadership of Jared Kushner, relying heavily on expert economic analysis, intelligence data and security assessments. Kushner deserves credit for preparing this thorough blueprint for peace between two peoples who have been at war for far too long. Actually, one of...

    Posted on February 5, 2020 by Msgr. Charles Pope Did You Help the Saints of Old to Become Holy? There is a remarkable statement at the end of the eleventh chapter of the Letter to the Hebrews. It speaks to the unity of the mystical Body of Christ and to the treasury of merit, which extends both backward and forward in time. Hebrews 11 is devoted to reciting the glory of many Old Testament saints. That litany concludes with the following verses:These were all commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised. Since God had...

    The Disney Corporation isn't making any friends at a California elementary school this week. After the Emerson Elementary PTA showed the remake of Disney's Lion King, the school received a bill for $250 from the studio. The Berkely area school showed the film as part of a "Parents' Night Out" event, with a suggested donation of $15 from movie-goers. When Disney took notice of the unlicensed screening, the studio's licensing agent, Movie Licensing USA, sent a letter to PTA President...Organizations are required to pay a single-use licensing fee of $250 or an annual fee of $536..
