WASHINGTON — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Friday of “complications of metastatic pancreas cancer,” the Supreme Court announced.... Democrats say this is hairsplitting hypocrisy that damages the legitimacy of the court. But they may have little practical power to stop a third Trump nominee after changes in Senate rules on filibusters on nominations. All it takes now is a majority vote to confirm judicial nominees..... During the Obama administration, some liberals urged Justice Ginsburg to step down so that President Barack Obama could name her successor. She rejected the advice. She was critical of Mr. Trump during the 2016...

The Black Lives Matter movement is linked to more than 9 in 10 riots across the country, according to a recent study. US experienced 637 riots between May 26 and September 12, and 91% of those riots were linked to the BLM movement. ...

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Protesters returned to the streets of Portland, Oregon, following a dayslong pause largely due to poor air quality from wildfires on the West Coast. Police declared an unlawful assembly Friday night in a neighborhood near a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building where protesters had marched, according to a police statement. Demonstrators participated in criminal activity and threw items at officers, police said, leading to 11 arrests. Photos show that smoke was used to clear the crowd, and it appeared that tear gas was deployed. Police initially tweeted that tear gas was on the list of...

Netflix just released a movie titled Cuties. It is anything but cute. Many feel the “film” is an absolute child-exploiting monstrosity and have joined in on the online conversation to #CancelNetflix.Netflix removed a series of zombie movies a few years back after receiving a multitude of complaints. The complaints were warranted. In the zombie movie, a virus was transferred by rape but the outcry never reached the level of outrage we are seeing with Cuties. So, what will Netflix do with the public demands to cancel the streaming network as they parade the sexualization of underage girls?Apparently nothing. “It’s an award-winning film...

Confederate General Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee attacks Union General William Rosecrans Army of the Cumberland near Chickamauga Creek in North West Georgia. By the end of the battle, over 30,000 men on both sides would be casualties. Chickamauga is the second most costly battle of the war, second only to Gettysburg.

R.I.P. Ruthie. My upbringing prevents me from celebrating your demise, but I won’t be in the group extolling your virtue and legacy either. On the outside chance you still don’t know who the Left is, allow them to tell you in their own words (caution, language): I think this is the ex-CNN jerk getting sued for Tweeting about Nick Sandmann’s “punchable face” so don’t think he doesn’t mean it. As Kitty Shackleford noted “Thanks Laura, for letting us know who has been behind the riots.” So it looks like the Left’s legacy of street fighting will continue unabated - until...

Left-wing media figures rushed to threaten violent riots on Friday evening if President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) attempt to fill the Supreme Court seat vacated by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away earlier in the day. Reza Aslan, who used to have a show on CNN, responded by writing: “If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f***ing thing down.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death is “an incalculable loss for our democracy and for all who sacrifice and strive to build a better future for our children.” The Democratic leader said Friday that Congress must ensure that the person who replaces Ginsburg on the court “upholds her commitment to equality, opportunity and justice for all.” The liberal justice died Friday of complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer at age 87. Pelosi said Ginsburg’s ”tireless advocacy in the fight for gender equality” leaves “an enduring legacy of progress for all women,” and her legal opinions...

“Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth” (Proverbs 19:1-2).

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Lambs, Sheep, and Shepherds. Genesis 27 27 When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called for Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” “Here I am,” he answered. 2 Isaac said, “I am now an old man and don’t know the day of my death. 3 Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me. 4 Prepare me the kind of tasty food I like and bring it to me to eat,...

In what is probably the least surprising announcement of the 21st century, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin who has been flying the false flag of "conservative" for a long time has finally revealed the very obvious by writing in her Thursday Washington Post column that she has removed the "conservative" tag from her Twitter profile. She attempted to explain what we already knew in "Why I dropped ‘conservative’ from my Twitter profile."

Gunfire at a backyard party killed two people and wounded 14 others early Saturday in Rochester, New York, a city that has been roiled in recent weeks by outrage over the suffocation death of Daniel Prude. A man and woman, estimated to be in their late teens or early 20s, were killed, Simmons said. None of the wounded people were believed to have life-threatening injuries. They were being treated at two area hospitals. (snip) The acting chief said no suspects were in custody, but there was no reason to believe the neighborhood was unsafe.

It’s just the flu, bro. Biden has flip flopped about 3 times on the 3 month mandatory nationwide mask policy. Unfortunately for Trump Biden now says that he wouldn’t have the power to enforce it. By November it will be much more politically damaging to be in favor of a mandatory mask policy than to be an incompetent flip flopper. - I have noticed the least amount of social distancing and mask wearing for youth basketball. It seems the other youth sports organizations are filled with Karens and virtue signalers. Those sports will pay the price - kids want to...

Just watched THE SOCIAL DILEMMA and now realize why many of the good people that I know have such diametrically opposing perspectives and such anger disrespect and hate for other opinions. The SOCIAL DILEMMA manipulations occur in social media platforms but also are present on every other large scale website like CBSNBCCNNPBSFOXABC NETFLIX AMAZON. Our opinions are being manipulated and massaged into hate and intolerance of each other. For what end? What is to be gained for the elite by formenting this level of hatred and rage except to devestate the country and gain unprecedented power and control? The only...

Little Lindsey Graham has another problem on his hands. On October 3, 2018, Graham, in an appearance on C-Span, promised that “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term…we’ll wait to the next election” to hold hearings and confirm the nominee. Not until the next inauguration – the next election, which is November 3. Graham, being the little compromised cock-of-the-walk that he is, then boldly told the C-Span host to “hold the tape,” which C-Span of course did. This tape is already being used by Democrats and their media toadies like Jonathan Karl as a hammer...

Because Justice Ginsburg deliberately played politics on the bench, her death at 87 is an appropriate time for political commentary about her work and a successor. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died Friday night after 27 years on the United States Supreme Court. I’m ignoring the Romans warning de mortuis nil nisi bonum (of the dead, say nothing but good). Ginsburg used her seat on the Supreme Court as a political office and, reputedly, her dying wish was political. The politicization of her Supreme Court seat and the political fallout from her death are, therefore, appropriate topics. Unlike me, the usual...

The recent high-profile police shootings of unarmed black men and women have resulted in the largest civil rights demonstrations in history, demanding that law enforcement and civilians alike recognize that Black lives possess inherent dignity and worth. And nowhere is this demand for the full recognition of the value of Black lives more urgent than in the fight over abortion. Planned Parenthood was established with the goal of reducing the number of Black babies born in America so whites could maintain their dominant status. To this day, Black babies are killed by abortion far out of proportion to their share...

You can get lost in the Auschwitz Memorial Twitter feed. When I visited that infamous German WWII concentration camp during the summer before our last presidential election, I had the overwhelming feeling that we were forgetting its terrible example -- that we could fall into such evil again. With the recent violence in the streets, in homes, on television and even in human hearts, that's become a familiar feeling. The power of the Auschwitz Memorial's social media presence is in the names and faces. At least 6 million people died in the Holocaust. They were men, women and children. They...

A majority of likely U.S. voters believes the country is experiencing a war on police and that politicians should enact policy classifying attacks on cops as hate crimes, according to a new poll. Released on Thursday, Rasmussen's polling came amid a wave of calls to defund police and a swell in anti-police sentiment. Since 2018, the percentage of likely voters who believes there's a war on cops has increased from 43% to 59%. The latest data represented a slight uptick from the 58% high reported in 2015. Meanwhile, 29% disagreed with that view and 12% reported as undecided. The poll...
