You do you think cruise ships should be allowed to sail and cruises resume? You can currently get on a packed airline, stay in a hotel, visit Disney World and Six Flags, ride a subway, but cruises are still not allowed to sail. The CDC is receiving comments from the general public for two more days on their website asking for public participation regarding the restart of cruises. So far, just under 6,000 comments have submitted to the CDC pertaining to the planning/infrastructure and resumption of passenger operations. The CDC has 28 different questions that you can respond to including:...

Trump spoke privately with McConnell on Friday night following the news of Ginsburg’s death, laying out his preferences for who should replace the liberal justice, according to several people familiar with the conversation. In the phone call, Trump said he liked Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit and Barbara Lagoa of the 11th Circuit, according to two people briefed on the discussion. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose details of a private conversation.

To preserve the rights our founding fathers gave us in the Constitution, it is of utmost importance that we as Christians come together en mass to fast and pray. Those rights given by GOD as stated in the Declaration of Independence and codified in the Constitution are ours to protect, defend, and save so that future generations of Americans can live as free as GOD created us to be. If ever there was a time when Christians should stand together with one voice, it is NOW. We need to ask GOD to intervene so that President Trump can find...

A stretch of a Minneapolis street that includes the place where George Floyd was killed will soon be named in his honor. Although the street will still be called Chicago Avenue, the city will refer to the blocks between 37th and 39th streets as George Perry Floyd Jr. Place, the Star Tribune reported. The City Council approved the naming Friday, and Mayor Jacob Frey’s office said he would likely sign off on it as well. …

Hillary Clinton on Friday urged Senate Democrats to do everything possible to block President Trump's next Supreme Court nominee, demanding that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell be prevented from filling the seat left vacant by Justice Ruth Ginsburg after her death late Friday. Speaking to Rachel Maddow, Clinton said Democrats "will have to use every single possible maneuver that is available to them" to head off Trump's nominee. She called on Democrats to "make it clear they are not going to permit Mitch McConnell to enact the greatest travesty, the monumental hypocrisy that would arise from him attempting to fill...

Since 2015, George Soros has pumped tens of millions of dollars into local races in Texas, Colorado, California, Oregon, Washington, Florida, and New York, as well as swing states. Since 2015, George Soros has been executing a plan to reshape the country through local district attorney elections by pumping unprecedented amounts of money into races that typically only see candidates spend in the low five figures.HereÂ’s why he has an interest in these local races. Soros is exploiting the reality that all politics are local in some way. To transform America, you have to transform the way towns and cities...

The U.S. Open at Winged Foot is halfway done, which leaves us with 62 golfers making the cut in the year’s second major. Eighty-two players failed to advance to the weekend, including Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. Mickelson may have played his final U.S. Open, as he has run out of automatic exemptions and is now 50 years old. After a rough, first-round 79, Mickelson followed it up with a 74 on Friday, but was never really in contention to make the weekend. As for Woods, the cutline was at least in mind throughout the first half of his round...

Obama cited his failed 2016 nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to back up his support for Ginsburg’s reported dying “instructions” that her replacement be nominated by a new president. “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” Ginsburg reportedly said. However Obama’s 2016 tweets instructing the Senate to confirm a new SCOTUS following the death of conservative justice Antonin Scalia is coming back to haunt him. On August 30, 2016, Barack Obama demanded the GOP Senate fill the Supreme Court vacancy with Merrick Garland.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Democrats and Republicans could just agree that the fair and right course would be to not replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg until after the presidential inauguration in January? We could simply stick, for now, with the precedent established by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell when he refused to hold a vote on the nomination of Merrick Garland to replace Justice Antonin Scalia. At the time, nearly nine months before the 2016 presidential election, he declared, “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice. Therefore, this vacancy should...

Voter Intimidation and Suppression Anyone who is a political conservative is likely already recognized Democrat efforts to intimidate Republican voters. We have heard speeches and remarks ranging from rioting will stop after Biden is elected to Biden will never concede to delaying polling results until Nancy Pelosi ascends the Presidency. These things are not conspiratorial at all and have already been floated as trial balloons in the mainstream media. I won't even begin to discuss their nominee...a discussion on elder abuse. But can we also consider for a moment that some of these efforts also suppress voters of their own...

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says that if she steps down now, President Obama would not be able to appoint an acceptable replacement. Ginsburg, who reiterated that she has no imminent plans to retire, told Elle that it would be next to impossible for the Senate to confirm a new justice to the court who she would approve of. "Who do you think President Obama could appoint at this very day, given the boundaries that we have? If I resign any time this year, he could not successfully appoint anyone I would like to see in the court," she...

Comparing the Bolshevik Revolution with Today’s Antifa and BLM Movement By Wallace Bruschweiler & William Palumbo Ever since George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police on May 25th, the United States – and to a lesser extent the Western world – has been up in arms, so to speak, allegedly about racial disparities and police brutality. Now that the public has had nearly four months to observe their activities, we know that the so-called “protest movement” is an utter sham. More precisely, the “protests” are a cover for something else. The rampaging duo of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifascists...

Actress Samaire Armstrong launched into an impassioned speech in a 7-minute video that saw the O.C. star hammer the “far-left mob,” call out the “Marxist criminals” and “uneducated woke white” people pushing the Black Lives Matter movement, and she declared Joe Biden and Kamala Harris “out of their minds.” Armstrong also praised police, who she said “have been thrown under the bus by spineless politicians.” Armstrong said Joe Biden and his running mate Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) are “out of their minds.” The actress called the Black Lives Matter movement an “act of warfare at the hands of Marxist criminals,...

Earlier this month, President Donald Trump floated two Florida justices as potential additions to the U.S. Supreme Court. In the wake of Friday’s death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, those names have a renewed resonance, with Trump ready to move forward, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vowing that Trump’s nominee will get a vote despite the immiment election. Both Barbara Lagoa and Carlos Muñiz, respectively a former and a current member of the Florida Supreme Court appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, were among a list of 20 names introduced by the President to media at the White House earlier...

The recent Ninth Circuit Second Amendment case, Mai v. United States,  shows the powerful influence President Trump has had on the largest Circuit Court in the United States. The case started in Washington State. The plaintiff, Duy T. Mai, was involuntarily committed to a mental institution for depression and suicidal impulses when he was 17 years old. A few months later, he was released and went on to become a well adjusted, productive member of society. At age 37, he wished to exercise his Second Amendment right to purchase a firearm. He was unable to do so because of the...

The video begins during the conversation with the passenger—who is unnamed—telling the Spirit Airlines employee that he is wearing a mask.

No. What do you have underneath this? This is not legal to...
