Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden made another gaffe while lecturing President Trump on foreign policy, confusing Iraq and Iran as the country where American soldiers have been killed. While speaking at a roundtable with veterans in Tampa, Florida, Biden described how his daily schedule includes paying respects to American soldiers who have died fighting in foreign wars. Biden, who has a propensity for gaffes and has seen his mental health come under intense scrutiny, confused Iraq with Iran. “U.S. troops die in Iran and Afghanistan – 6,000 as of today.” Not a great look when you’re speaking at an event...

And what a very neat number it is too. Don't worry folks. This is the kind of thing that almost never happens, but it keeps happening every week. I'm sure it won't happen when there's a national election at stake and the party that habitually commits voter fraud is desperate to take the White House by any means from burning down cities to engaging in ballot harvesting. Nothing to worry about or see here. Officials have counted more than 1,600 ballots from New Jersey's July primary that were found last week in a “mislabeled” bin. The 1,666 ballots from Sussex...

What are the alternatives to the Girl Scouts? Which programs offer your daughter the same experience of joining a troop, earning merit badges, growing as a leader, and performing community service as scouts outside of Girl Scouts? Conversely, which programs give your daughter a place to socialize with her peers or further her faith outside of Sunday School? This article provides a synopsis of several Girl Scout alternatives, listed in alphabetical order, as well as information on each.

President Donald Trump had called for the death penalty to be used for Julian Assange before changing his mind about the Wikileaks founder, the Old Bailey heard. US lawyer Eric Lewis claimed rumours Mr Trump had been aided by foreign powers in the 2016 election continued to be viewed by the American leader as "undermining his legitimacy", according to his witness statement presented to Assange's extradition hearing. Assange is fighting extradition to the US following the leaks of hundreds of thousands of classified documents in 2010 and 2011. The 49-year-old, who has been in high-security Belmarsh Prison for 16 months,...

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: [Y]ou-know-who used it as part of his law and order pitch, at his mostly unmasked Nevada rally last night, and there's no proof there's no connection to demonstrators WHOOPI: Well, I want to point out there is no -- there's no proof that this shooter has anything to do with Black Lives Matter. They don't know who it is. That's why they're asking for the public's help. So I don't want to marry those two things when we don't know if they're connected. SARA HAINES: Well, you can't conflate the two [BLM and cop shooting], and I don't...

Recently, on national television with George Stephanopoulos, Gov. Jay Inslee said that climate change is almost solely the reason for the devastating fires all across the west. How much veracity is there to this? Cliff Mass, professor of atmospheric sciences at the UW, joined the Dori Monson Show to discuss. What is his reaction to the governor’s comments? “Well, in general, it’s not true. And one important thing you have to keep in mind is you have to talk about what fires you’re looking at,” Mass said. “Because different fires in different places have different origins. So the fires that...

U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain on Monday announced federal charges against two Philadelphia men in gun-related cases — because, he said, District Attorney Larry Krasner’s office bungled their prosecutions. McSwain also highlighted 10 other defendants he said received lenient treatment from Krasner in gun possession, drug, or assault cases and who later were charged with murder

It happened again! Trump supporters lined the streets to greet Joe Biden ahead of his arrival in Tampa, Florida on Tuesday.

Just had to share this after watching.

And Mussolini made the trains run on time . . . On today's Morning Joe, Adrian Wooldridge, a columnist at The Economist, said that unlike the United States, China passes the "good government" test. Wooldridge made his comment in the context of discussing the way various countries have dealt with the coronavirus pandemic, but offered no qualifier as to his "good government" praise of China. To the contrary, Wooldridge said that the advantage of good government is moving from the West "to the East. We have to wake up to this fact that government matters, and that we’re falling behind...

The liberal media are again peddling their anti-men-drinking-alcohol schtick. This time, The Washington Post pushed a very flawed government report recommending men should only have one drink a day.

Three-out-of-four voters who’ve had violent anti-police protests in their community rate those protests important to their vote in the presidential election. Among these voters, a sizable majority like the job President Trump is doing. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 42% of Likely U.S. Voters have had anti-police protests in their community this summer. (To see survey question wording, click here.) Nearly half (48%) of these voters say the protests in their community have turned violent.

When I graduated from college in 1989, it looked like socialism was dead. The Soviet Union—the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics—was in its death throes. In comparison, the American economy was booming, and countries around the world were beginning to liberalize their markets. After a sophomoric flirtation with socialism, I had concluded that capitalism was probably the most workable economic model. I had not resolved my lingering suspicions, however, that capitalism was immoral and that socialism was still the Christian ideal. Part of that impression came from biblical passages that seem to suggest as much: “Now the full number of...

A Malaysian student who had lost his phone found it again only a day later - with some unexpected new additions to his camera roll. Zackrydz Rodzi thought someone must have stolen his phone while he was asleep, but he couldn’t know for sure because there were no obvious signs of robbery. Speaking to the BBC, Rodzi said he woke up mid-morning on Saturday and realised his phone was gone. Pictures timecoded to 2pm on the same day show a monkey peering down the lens with bright green foliage and birds in the background. The monkey appeared to be trying...

Edina, Minnesota, is an elite suburb that formerly had one of the most outstanding public school districts in the country. That was before Edina’s school system went “woke” and began prioritizing indoctrination over education. In recent years, Edina’s schools have slipped badly in objective test measurements. This coincides with the city’s transformation from a Republican bastion, as recently as 25 years ago, to a deep-blue outpost of progressivism. How is that working out for Edina? In addition to the decline of the town’s schools, crime has arrived. As law enforcement has collapsed following the George Floyd riots–a development that was...

by Ron Kersten The stature and image of the most powerful Democrat in America is sinking fast...at the worst possible time. With a pivotal election less than 50 days away, Speaker Nancy Pelosi's esteem is free-falling...as was made clear by an unforgivable "slip" by CNBC icon -- and lifelong Democrat! -- Jim Cramer on live TV this afternoon. Jim Cramer: “Madam Speaker, I’m listening to you and I, three days you told CNN you were optimistic about a deal.” Speaker Pelosi: “I am, but” Cramer: “Really? I mean, I thought I taken right off the table right here off...

The Stone Roses singer joined the red pill-devouring ranks with a series of anti-lockdown missives. What is it with musicians and not believing the TRUTH?If I could be locked down in a house full of rock stars – the kind we’re always being offered to pick from on social media – it would contain Matt Bellamy, Tom DeLonge, B.o.B., George Clinton, and Jim Corr as the live-in landlord. We’re talking Conspiracy House. A mansion stuffed with alien watchers, kabbalah mystics and exposers of shadowy one-world power cartels. How brilliant would that be? Imagine the wild nights spent crushing up red...

Alexander Vindman was a key witness during impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. Vindman has more recently become a big name in the anti-Trump movement. Vindman gave an interview with The Atlantic editor in Chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, in which Vindman was very critical of President Trump, particularly when it came to Goldberg’s questions about Russian intelligence. Keep in mind, this is likely Vindman’s first big interview in quite a while. Also, something to keep in mind, is that Goldberg recently was criticized about his story that mentioned anonymous sources being highly critical of Trump, saying that he called military who...

A color film travelogue showing the trip from Vlissingen in Holland by cross channel ferry to Harwich and then a tour of London with lots of street scenes. This is a remarkable glimpse of life in the twilight of the inter-war years. Many of the old building shown were badly damaged or destroyed during Herr Goering's urban renewal program.
