    Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard law professor who was part of President Trump’s legal team during the Senate impeachment trial, said the top Democratic leaders in Congress “have to go” if the party wants to regain power. “I think they need new leadership. I think Schumer and Pelosi have to go. Schumer, because of his history of lying. You know, Pelosi actually called for me to be disbarred … because I had persuaded some senators” in the Senate trial, he said referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. “I think the Dems need new leaders if...

    'I'm writing this note to you because as you know when school is out, there's really no time to talk, just a quick hug,' the note reads. 'For some time, I've been wanting to talk to you about spending time together... Maybe with some other friends of yours? What do you think?' another sentence says. . . . After reporting the note to school officials, the man was taken off that bus route. Edmond School District also said that the driver is no longer employed by the district.
  • On Juan Guaido’s Venezuela Status, Bernie Sanders Stands Alone

    If the Democratic Party is so left wing, then why isn’t a single of the top candidates against Washington’s recognition of Juan Guaido as the country’s president? Oh wait, there is one who does not recognize Guiado. It’s Bernie Sanders. Sanders is not an Independent for nothing. Last week, Guaido, who was once the official head of the National Assembly of Venezuela until Socialists United politics orchestrated a vote to get him out, was singled out by President Trump at his State of the Union address. Guaido was the only foreigner highlighted by the president. It wasn’t that Trump and...

    The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, a close ally of President Donald Trump, said Sunday that the Justice Department has established a way to review information gathered in Ukraine by Trump personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who has targeted Democrat Joe Biden and his son. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Attorney General William Barr told him during a conversation Sunday that the department has “created a process that Rudy could give information and they would see if it’s verified.” “Rudy Giuliani is a well-known man,” said Graham. “He’s a crime fighter. He’s loyal to the president. He’s a good lawyer.”...
  • Walter Williams: America Isn't a Democracy. In Fact, the Founders Feared Democracy

    CNS News ^ | January 28, 2020 | Walter E. Williams
    During President Donald J. Trump's impeachment trial, we'll hear a lot of talk about our rules for governing. One frequent claim is that our nation is a democracy. If we've become a democracy, it would represent a deep betrayal of our founders, who saw democracy as another form of tyranny. In fact, the word democracy appears nowhere in our nation's two most fundamental documents, the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. The founders laid the ground rules for a republic as written in the Constitution's Article IV, Section 4, which guarantees "to every State in this Union a Republican...

    AYAHUALTEMPA, Mexico — Before he picked up a rifle and joined a squad of armed children, Alex wanted to become a schoolteacher. He’d teach anything — “whatever the principal asks” — because spending his days in a classroom sounded pretty good. He was 13, a B student with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles bicycle who got nervous around the girls in his middle school. Then, in November, as violence surged in the mountains of Guerrero state, the men of Ayahualtempa decided it was time for their sons to take up arms.

    Washington Examiner ^ | Feb. 8, 2020 | John Gage
    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went on an extended discussion about economics and John Maynard Keynes - where she referred to him as "Milton Keynes." The New York Democrat said that the "famed economist Milton Keynes predicted that by 2030, GDP and technology would have advanced so much that it would allow everyday people to work as little as 15 hours a week and provide for their families."
  • Feminism is the enemy of Mothers

    02/09/2020 4:19:14 PM PST · by Ozguy1945 · 6 replies
    Feminism is the enemy of Mothers. By demonising men and heterosexuality, feminism attacks the essential need of mothers to have men who can participate freely in family life. Who agrees? Feminism has liberated women to the workplace but then does not support parental leave for mothers. It was only a conservative Prime Minister in Tony Abbott who seriously addressed good parental leave for mothers in Australia. What is President Trump’s record like on this issue?

    AXIOS ^ | FebRUARY 9, 2020 — | Mike Allen
    This was the worst week for Democrats since Donald Trump’s election-night shocker of 2016. Why it matters: In less than 200 hours, Democrats botched Iowa, watched Trump hit an all-time popularity high, debated ousting the DNC chair, and watched a socialist soar and an ideological civil war intensify. Axios' Margaret Talev reports from New Hampshire that amid real enthusiasm at candidate rallies, there's an underlying unease about unifying the party enough to get the kind of turnout needed to win in November. What we're hearing: There's a new fatalism in my conversations with Democrats, with many telling me that what...

  • British Airways Boeing 747 Hits a Record 825 MPH During NYC-London Trip

    The Drive ^ | 9 Feb 2020 | CALEB JACOBS
    With a little help from a massive tailwind, of course. British Airways Boeing 747 traveled from New York to London in just four hours and 56 minutes, hitting a top ground speed of 825 miles per hour and setting a subsonic flight record for the route. That 250+ mph tailwind meant that the 747’s true airspeed was still below the speed of sound, but that doesn’t take away from how incredible it is to get across the Atlantic in just over four hours. It should be mentioned that while flight BA112 smashed the subsonic record, the fastest time from NYC...

    Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Sunday on MSNBC that the 2020 presidential hopefuls who are white had “blemishes on their record about their relationships with black people.” When asked about 2020 hopeful Pete Buttigieg, Waters said, “You know, one’s record will speak for itself. If there are facts about what he has done or what he has not done, then he’s going to have to try and make people, you know, believe that he understands where he made mistakes and promises to do better and be able to articulate how he’s going to do even better than he’s done in...
