Sad to see that Glenn has embraced promoting panic. I tried to listen the last 2 days but he is in one of his dire last days mode.

NEWS: Bernie Sanders to hold 1pm press conference in Burlington about his campaign.

There really is no arguing the fact that Joe Biden is in decline mentally despite protestations to the contrary. He is 77 years old and this is not unexpected. The number of noteworthy incidents has only multiplied this week. Yesterday he went after people at his rally Continuing their policy of mendacity, democrats accused the right of starting the harping on Biden's mental issues but it's not true. Of late the DNC is curtailing the amount of time Joe can talk and have arranged for him to be seated for the next debate. This morning there are calls from other...

(A little something different for today's devotional) We asked Rev. Michael Brown, a pastor in Milan, Italy, how we can be praying for the Italian church amid the coronavirus situation. Here is his response: I am a missionary of the United Reformed Churches in North America serving in northern Italy, where I pastor Chiesa Riformata Filadelfia, an Italian congregation in the suburbs of Milan. As you have probably seen in the news, we have experienced a devastating outbreak of the coronavirus. In the past ten days alone, we have seen the number of reported cases in Italy skyrocket from 888...

Bernie, Fake News, the new Socialist Democrats, and Socialist bad educators turned many of our youth into swamp zombies aka Bernies Army. Unless they are cured the will destroy this great Republic called the USA. The young army that the communist has gathered is dangerous. Bernie Sanders does not care about America or the American People. One only needs to read about him, his political views and his views in general to know this!!! Yet, time is wasted by hate-filled Democrat supporters trying to find dirt on President Trump instead of really paying attention to the candidates and what they...

veryone knows that living in California comes with a price: Its residents pay some of the nation’s highest taxes on the money they earn, the gas they pump and the clothes they wear. But for the moment, at least, it appears voters have had enough. The defeat Tuesday of the largest borrowing proposal in the history of California schools — $15 billion for repairs — has opened the question of whether Californian voters put a temporary halt to the growth of government debt because of the unsettled political scene, or because they are on the cusp of a tax revolt...

Two years after banning so-called “assault weapons, Dick’s Sporting Goods has announced it will now eliminate the hunting section and all firearms from a majority of its stores. The retailer made the announcement while reporting better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings Tuesday, according to Fox Business. Apparently emboldened by increased sales of baseballs and outerwear, Dick’s will stop selling firearms in 440 of its stores and completely eliminate the hunting section in those locations by the end of this fiscal year.

VIDEO "She's DEAD to us!" That was the reaction of Tim Black and much of the left to Elizabeth Warren stabbing Bernie Sanders in the back by NOT endorsing him at a critical time in his primary campaign when he needed her support. It is one of the reasons why it now looks like the Democrats are now on the way to nominating the coherency-challenged Joe Biden to ultimately LOSE in the general election. This video contains a compilation of angry reactions to Warren's pathetic betrayal of Sanders and reveals why Warren has completely destroyed whatever trust the left...

As people around the world canceled their trips because of fears of the new coronavirus, Ashley Henkel booked three. Henkel, 20, is taking advantage of cheap flights to see North America. She lives in California's Central Valley, but this summer she'll be in Vancouver, New York City and Portland, Oregon. A college student itching to travel, she's one of many people staring the deadly virus in the face and saying, "Whatever." As flight schedules are scaled down and airline stocks plunge, carriers are offering deals that have put air travel within reach for people who usually can't fly. It's a...

Before starting Rockstar, Weiner followed in the footsteps of his father, right-wing talk-radio star Michael Savage, and ran for California State Assembly in 1998. He lost the race, but his campaign caught the eye of his father's friend, Skyy Vodka founder Maurice Kanbar, who quickly hired him.

Britons, brace yourselves. The scenes I have witnessed unfolding here in Italy could, sooner or later, be coming your way. Soldiers and policemen patrolling the streets. Food stores with empty shelves and only three people allowed in at a time. Flights cancelled and police checks at railway stations to ensure your travel is absolutely necessary. Too late, some say. Too much, say others. Whatever your take, as of yesterday, this was the reality for 60 million people living in Italy.

The video taken at a San Francisco Walgreens is self-explanatory. But what it actually means for the city by the bay is dark — San Francisco is falling apart. In the video, three hooded individuals casually loot store shelves in full view of employees. No one stops them. And although a woman says, “Call the police!” it is unclear if anyone did and more unclear whether it would have mattered — police most likely would have simply filled out a report rather than chase anyone down.

In one small suburb on the outskirts of New York City, coronavirus cases jumped from one to more than 100 in less than 10 days. Now the state's governor is trying to catch up to the virus by setting up a containment area around New Rochelle and deploying the National Guard to assist with food deliveries and clean public spaces. "We'll go in, we'll clean the schools and assess the situation," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. "This will be a period of disruption for the community." New Rochelle is about 25 miles outside of New York City. The issue,...

By any measure, Taiwan should have been the second-hardest-hit area of the coronavirus outbreak outside mainland China. Taiwan is less than 100 miles away from mainland China and receives an estimated 3 million mainland tourists annually. Furthermore, more than 1 million Taiwanese travel to mainland China each year.The expansive travel volume across the Taiwan strait reached its peak during the recent lunar New Year celebration in January, as it always has. Yet this densely populated island of 23 million people has only 44 confirmed cases of the virus to date, and just one death so far.Taiwan hasn’t experienced the...

The All-New Nissan Sentra commercial starring superhero feminist Brie Larson is on track to becoming the most disliked YouTube video on the platform. Nissan respond by disabling the comments. The commercial for Nissan’s new car was supposed to send a powerful message on International Women’s Day. “Don’t compromise,” Brie Larson tells a woman who feels oppressed by her male boss as he tells of, “we are going to promote you just yet.” “You went Gillette, never go full Gillette,” the liked comment reads on top of the behind the scenes video of the new Nissan Sentra commercial.
