House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appears to have practiced tearing up President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech on Tuesday evening, as seen in live footage from the speech. A video posted by President Trump’s re-election campaign shows Pelosi making small tears in a copy of the speech as the president introduced conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh. Following President Trump’s address, Pelosi’s office denounced Vice President Mike Pence for suggesting she had planned the display of disrespect — though her spokesman did not directly deny the charge. According to the Daily Mail, Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill angrily scolded Pence...

Feb. 06, 2020 - 62:35 - Trump addresses the nation from the White House, thanks supporters, blasts dirty cops, leakers and liars.

Humans have been living in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula since at least the Late Pleistocene (126,000-11,700 years ago). Much of what we know about these earliest settlers of Mexico comes from nine well-preserved human skeletons found in the submerged caves and sinkholes near Tulum in Quintana Roo, Mexico. The analysis showed Chan Hol 3 was likely a woman, approximately 30 years old at her time of death, and lived at least 9,900 years ago. Her skull falls into a mesocephalic pattern (neither especially broad or narrow, with broad cheekbones and a flat forehead), like the three other skulls from the Tulum...

Appearing Wednesday on the Fox News Channel’s The Ingraham Angle, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) announced he will file an ethics complaint against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for ripping up President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.

Pro-abortion Democrat female lawmakers dressed in white again Tuesday for President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address. Supposedly, the white garments worn by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others symbolized the early suffragettes and their tireless advocacy for women’s rights. Many Democrat lawmakers also wore green buttons that read “ERA YES” in support of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which could be used to overturn all restrictions on abortion in the U.S. Both the ERA and those defending it appear to be pro-woman, but abortion really is at the core. The proposed constitutional amendment states that “equality of rights...

SANTA FE — Legislators tightened the scope of a proposed law Wednesday that would allow for the temporary seizure of firearms from New Mexicans deemed an imminent danger to themselves or others. Only law enforcement officers, not household or family members, would be allowed to petition the court for an extreme risk order under a version of the legislation introduced Wednesday. The amended proposal narrowly cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee late Wednesday on a 6-5 vote. Its next stop is the Senate floor — where supporters and opponents alike are preparing for an incredibly close vote. Lt. Gov. Howie Morales,...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ignited backlash for her attack on President Trump’s accomplishments as tensions rose between the two following Tuesday’s State of the Union address. White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham slammed Pelosi for comparing Trump’s “remarks about our great nation & it’s many success stories” to “a reality TV show” during her weekly press conference Thursday. This morning things didn’t get any better as Trump held up a newspaper this morning with the headline “Acquitted!” in Nancy Pelosi’s presence at the National Prayer Breakfast! President Trump then proceeded to rip and shred Pelosi during his talk at the...

The Treasury Department has handed over documents to a pair of GOP Senate chairmen as part of a months-long probe into Burisma Holdings, Ukraine and Hunter Biden, according to the top Democrat on one of the panels. Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) — the chairmen of the Finance and the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committees, respectively — sent a letter to the Treasury Department in November saying they were investigating "potentially improper actions" during the Obama administration. The Treasury Department is complying with their request, according to a spokeswoman for Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.), the top...

SALT LAKE CITY —    Utahans reacted to Sen. Mitt Romney’s decision to break Republican ranks with a mixture of pride and dismay Wednesday, with some in this majority-Mormon state even suggesting that his vote to remove President Trump from office recalled a prophecy attributed to the church founder Joseph Smith. Although generally debunked as apocryphal by modern historians, the so-called White Horse Prophecy dates to 1844 when Smith himself was a candidate for president of the United States. The Mormons — members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — have long regarded the U.S. Constitution as a divinely inspired...

Democrat presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren used Trayvon Martin’s birthday, February 5, as a springboard Thursday to drive her own gun control agenda. My heart goes out to @SybrinaFulton and Trayvon's family and friends. He should still be with us today. We need to end gun violence and racism. And we need to build a world where all of our children—especially young Black boys—can grow up safe and free. https://twitter.com/FredTJoseph/status/1225030890969075713 …

U.S. Rep. Xochitl Torres Small had more money in her war chest than any congressional candidate in New Mexico heading into 2020. The first-term Democrat had $2.3 million cash on hand at the end of 2019, easily outpacing her nearest potential Republican rival by $1.7 million in the 2nd Congressional District. Torres Small reported raising nearly $2.6 million in 2019 in filings with the Federal Election Commission. The deadline for the end of the year filing was Friday. “This campaign is about serving the people of southern New Mexico,” Torres Small’s campaign manager Helen Smith said. “Xochitl Torres Small is...

In many ways, the last surviving Neanderthals are a mystery. But four caves in Gibraltar have given an unprecedented insight into what their lives might have been like. Forty thousand years ago in Europe, we were not the only human species alive – there were at least three others. Many of us are familiar with one of these, the Neanderthals. Fossil evidence shows that, towards the end, the final few were clinging onto survival in places like Gibraltar. In recognition of this, Gibraltar received Unesco world heritage status in 2016. ... "They weren't just surviving," the Gibraltar museum's director of...

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) accused President Donald Trump of being drugged when he gave the State of the Union address Tuesday night. Pelosi made the accusation at a press conference Thursday morning. Pelosi said when she went to shake Trump’s hand at the start of the event and he refused, that she had done so as an “act of kindness” because he appeared to be “sedated”. As she said the word sedated, Pelosi acted out her perception that Trump was unsteady and zoned out, leaning sideways, shaking and gesturing to her eyes. “…so again, I extended the...

Coronaviruses in creation. Does the recent coronavirus outbreak support evolution? by Robert Carter Published: 6 February 2020 (GMT+10) There is a new virus sweeping the world. Most people are calling it ‘coronavirus’. It was first noticed in Wuhan, China and is already popping up in multiple countries. Many people have died. What are we supposed to think about it? Do viruses support evolution? Can we explain them in a creation context? Can this be part of the ‘very good’ creation? Hold onto your hats, for I am about to turn what you think about viruses on its head.

Might be among the best vocal song or at least among the best. See,,, I don't watch TV all the time. Besides, in order to real all/most/some of the interesting posts of FR I've got to have peace of mind in the background. :<)))))

Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton expressed an openness to running as Vice President with the eventual Democratic Party nominee during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres released on Thursday. The talk show host spoke to 72-year-old Clinton about the impeachment effort and her future ambitions. Clinton was asked if she would accept if the eventual Democrat nominee asked her to be their running mate. At first, she laughed it off, saying “well, that’s not going to happen, but no, probably no.” It didn’t take much prodding for her to change her tune and say that “I never say never because I...

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — Voters may not have a full picture of what exactly happened during the Iowa caucuses, but Sen. Bernie Sanders is confident that he won the contest. At a Thursday press conference Thursday afternoon in New Hampshire, Sanders attacked the Iowa Democratic Party for its oversight of its caucuses on Monday, while maintaining a triumphant tone on the results. “What I want to do today, three days late, is to thank the people of Iowa for the very strong victory they gave us in the Iowa Caucuses," Sanders said.
