Speaking to reporters during a joint press conference with Ethiopian Foreign Minister Gedu Andargachew Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo responded to reporting that a number of Democrat Senators secretly met with Iranian Javad Zarif during the Munich Security Conference. “I have seen that piece about some senators meeting with Foreign Minister Zarif. This guy is designated by the United States of America. He’s the foreign minister for a country that shot down a commercial airliner and has yet to turn over the black boxes. This is the foreign minister of a country that killed an American on December 27....

The entire border needs a wall. Without the entire border walled, the illegal invaders can come through the unwalled areas and, once here, have the freedom of movement throughout the rest of the lower 48 states. But also the detention centers are not something that solves the problems. The Democrats and the MSM have no shame. With every passing day, we see more and more evidence of their hypocrisy, intellectual dishonesty, and evil behavior. Remember when the liberal media shared a touching photo of the little girl Yanela Denise, crying as a U.S. Border Patrol agent patted down her mother....

"Warning for Democratic Viewers: today's episode of Deadline White House may lead to nausea, depression, and self-harm ideation." That's what MSNBC might have been advised to broadcast prior to Wednesday afternoon's show because what was predicted was pure doom and despair for Democrats if the party continues to pass on criticizing Bernie Sanders, not address his socialist proposals head on, and refuse to work to defeat him. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

"""Virginia Democrats expected to pass bill that lawyers say would force Christian schools to house gay couples"" The Democrat-controlled Virginia Senate is expected to send legislation to Gov. Ralph Northam that lawyers say could force Christian colleges to house gay couples as part of a nondiscrimination measure. The bill, HB 1663, known as the "Virginia Values Act," includes revisions to Virginia’s Human Rights Act and Fair Housing Act that prohibit discrimination on the basis of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” in housing and public spaces. The policy extends to religious institutions and schools employing six or more people. The bill...

California's wildfires are getting deadlier and more destructive each year. Naturally then, state politicians want to make it easier to get insurance in fire-prone areas. On Tuesday, Assemblymembers Lorena Gonzalez (D–San Diego) and Monique Limon (D–Santa Barbara) introduced Assembly Bill (A.B.) 2367. Their "Renew California" bill would require that insurance companies write new policies or indefinitely renew current ones for existing homes provided they meet yet-to-be-determined state standards for fire-hardening. Roughly one million homes in wildfire-affected areas are already covered by a one-year moratorium on non-renewals issued by the state's elected insurance commissioner, Ricardo Lara, in December 2019. Lara has...

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee on Wednesday denied clemency to death row inmate Nicholas "Nick" Sutton one day before his scheduled execution. Sutton, 58, is scheduled to die by electric chair Thursday evening for the 1985 murder of Carl Estep. "After careful consideration of Nicholas Sutton's request for clemency and a thorough review of the case, I am upholding the sentence of the state of Tennessee and will not be intervening," Lee said in a statement released Wednesday morning. Kevin Sharp, Sutton's attorney, described his client's petition as "a once-in-a-lifetime case for clemency." "He has saved the lives of three corrections...

Bernie Sanders leads the race for the Democratic nomination. He may become America's first self-described "democratic socialist" president. What does that mean? Today, when Sanders talks about socialism, he says: "I'm not looking at Cuba. I'm looking at countries like Denmark and Sweden." But Denmark and Sweden are not socialist. Denmark's prime minister even came to America to refute Sanders' claims, pointing out that "Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy." Both Denmark and Sweden do give citizens government-run health care and have bigger welfare programs than America has. However, recently, they've moved away from socialism. Because their socialist...

Zen Speaks China's Catholics suffer A prominent Chinese cardinal is speaking out against the Vatican's betrayal of Chinese Catholics. Cardinal Joseph Zen, the retired archbishop of Hong Kong, spoke to Church Militant in New York last weekend. Among other things, Zen explained that the Vatican-China agreement, enacted in 2018, has not been read by any Chinese prelate, including Zen. He also noted that the unsigned Vatican document ratifying the agreement encourages Catholics to join the schismatic Chinese Patriotic Church.  Zen told Church Militant: So the first step was that secret agreement for the selection of bishops and then the legitimization of...

Whoopi Goldberg admonished Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her treatment of older Democrats during an appearance by the congresswoman on “The View” Wednesday. Goldberg said her excitement for AOC’s election fizzled out after the lawmaker “dismissed” older Democrats like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Dianne Feinstein. “I was very happy when you were elected because I thought it was a great step … and then you lost me,” Goldberg told Ocasio-Cortez during a polite back-and-forth, “because it felt like you were saying to people like me that I was too old and didn’t do enough.”

The decorated U.S. Marine Corps pilot who risked his life and military career to help New Orleans police halt the Howard Johnson’s hotel sniper attack that shattered the quiet of a Sunday morning and claimed seven lives in 1973 died Feb. 13 following a lengthy battle with cancer, according to his family.

In nearly four decades as a Marine, which included three combat tours in Vietnam, Pitman earned numerous medals: Silver Stars for...

A convicted felon who thanked New York Democrats this week for eliminating bail for a series of crimes deemed “non-violent” was arrested for the 140th time, just days after he was released from New York City Police Department (NYPD) custody. Career criminal Charles Barry, 56-years-old, was arrested Tuesday evening by NYPD for allegedly scamming a Belgian tourist on the New York City subway, provoking his 140th arrest, as the New York Daily News noted. Barry is likely to be released from jail almost immediately, yet again, thanks to New York’s new bail reform — signed into law by Gov. Andrew...

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg launched his campaign for president by spending hundreds of millions of dollars on advertisements to boost his poll numbers. Yesterday, he released a policy proposal to address the cost of higher education. Unsurprisingly, Bloomberg would not cancel student debt or make all public colleges free (as Bernie Sanders proposes). Instead, he would place all student debtors in an income-driven repayment plan so that payments are taken directly from borrowers’ paychecks. This plan is a neoliberal technocrat’s wet dream. It would treat student debtors as isolated individuals who must make payments tailored to their specific situations and according...

Democrats have no shame. The mainstream media will do everything they can in an effort to undermine our First Lady’s reputation among the American people. This “witch hunt” as well as the witch hunts against our President ended un-successful! It backfires instead as she received Palm Beach Atlantic University’s “Women of Distinction” award. Melania Trump, who changed her primary residence to Palm Beach along with President Trump Melania Trump, who changed her primary residence to Palm Beach along with President Trump last year, said she was “grateful” to accept the award. According to the school’s website, the award is given...

NBC’s medical drama New Amsterdam had an unusual diagnosis this Tuesday in the episode, “Sabbath.” After Dr. Helen Sharpe finds her 13-year-old patient Cephas has four benign tumors growing in his stomach and that the boy has elevated levels of stress hormones, psychiatrist Dr. Iggy Frome determines the tumors were caused by racism. As the surgeon operates and removes the four tumors from Cephas, he warns the tumors could come back and might not be benign next time. Iggy realizes Cephas feels isolated and threatened all the time after asking him a series of questions that measures a person’s level...
