2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden screwed up the Pledge of Allegiance Monday during a campaign speech in Wisconsin. “I pledge allegiance to the United States of America, one nation, indivisible, under God, for real,” Biden said. Biden’s Monday slip-up marks the second campaign gaffe this week after the former vice president wrongly claimed 200 million had perished from the novel Wuhan coronavirus, when in fact at the time of the address the number of Americans lost from the virus was nearly 200,000.

The death of ( Ruth Bader Ginsburg) raises the immediate question of whether or not President Trump will be able to (successfully install) a new supreme court justice before the election, or be thwarted. There are electoral benefits to him in either case: he gets his replacement through – among the names touted are Amy Coney Barrett and Barbara Lagoa, both candidates representing a further lurch to the right – or his failure to do so motivates his base.

In my op-ed titled, "Trump is not conservative, he's a pragmatist" (Jan. 19, 2016), I wrote: "You may not like Donald Trump, but I suspect that the reason people do not like him is because: 1) he is antithetical to the 'good old boy' method of brokering backroom deals that fatten the coffers of politicians; 2) they are unaccustomed to hearing a candidate speak who is unencumbered by the financial shackles of those who own them vis-à-vis donations; 3) he is someone who is free of idiomatic political ideology; and 4) he is someone who understands that it takes more...

CNN’s Don Lemon has to be given a raise. Seriously, his meltdowns are pure gold. And they never cease to amaze. Lemon, like most of liberal America, is going nuts over the prospect of Donald Trump picking the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s successor on the Supreme Court. Ginsburg passed away last Friday at the age of 87. And because he’s president, the whole system has to be destroyed. That’s literally what he said. The meltdown was so much that even his CNN colleague, Chris Cuomo, thought it was too much—all but telling him to slow his roll.

During a campaign speech on Monday, Joe Biden attempted to quote the Pledge of Allegiance, and instead delivered a jumbled version of it, saying, “I pledge allegiance to the United States of America, one nation, indivisible, under God, for real.” I suppose he’ll want credit for including “under God,” but I suspect he only included it because Trump has been calling out the Democrats for excluding it during their convention. Watch as Biden tries and fails to quote the pledge: VIDEO AT LINK............................

Sen. Mitt Romney's (R-Utah) announcement on Tuesday that he will entertain confirming President Trump's Supreme Court nominee this year sparked fervent responses from both liberals and conservatives on social media. Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, was seen as crucial in Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) plan to vote on the president's nominee to fill the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat. The president has said his team is vetting a shortlist of five women and wants his nominee confirmed before Election Day. He is expected to announce his nominee on Saturday. Romney's decision essentially gives McConnell the necessary...

LINCOLN CITY, Ore. (AP) — Police say an Oregon man is recovering after he accidentally shot himself while flaunting a handgun at a Lincoln City supermarket. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports the mishap happened Sunday night when Nicholas J. Ellingford brandished his Glock 9mm in the checkout line at McKay’s Market on U.S. 101 and tried to show it off to a friend according to the Lincoln City Police Department.

A number of groups and individuals are claiming that the recent major wildfires in the Pacific Northwest are predominantly or significantly the result of climate change produced by increasing greenhouse gases. In fact, many have called these conflagrations “climate fires.” Did global warming (a.k.a. climate change) have a significant impact on the Northwest wildfires of the past few weeks? Consider the key fires in the Northwest U.S. this month: the huge, rapidly expanding fires on the western slopes of the Oregon Cascades. The fires that not only burned hundreds of thousands of acres, but produced most of the smoke that...

New polls show an erosion of support for Black Lives Matter, with a majority of Americans saying they believe a war is being waged against police officers. Separate surveys by Pew Research and by Fox News found that support for BLM has dropped more than 10 percentage points in just a few months, Summit News reported. Pew said that as "racial justice protests have intensified following the shooting of Jacob Blake, public support for the Black Lives Matter movement has declined." The polling company found that 55% now express at least some support for the movement, down from 67% in...

Former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster made a recent comment that will surely leave believers of the ‘deep state’ wondering. McMaster, during an interview with “60 minutes,” stated there is a group of people within the White House who believe they are saving the world “from the President.” He believes there are three groups of people operating within the administration. ... The third group is one Raw Story defines as “secret members.” McMaster explained there is “a third group … who cast themselves in the role of saving the country and maybe the world from the president.”

Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg and his team have raised more than $16 million to pay the court fines and fees of nearly 32,000 Black and Hispanic Florida voters with felony convictions, an effort aimed at boosting turnout for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. The money will go to fund a program organized by the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition to pay the fines, fees and restitution costs for former prisoners who are already registered to vote in Florida but barred by law from participating in the election because of those outstanding debts. Bloomberg, who has committed at least $100...

The available evidence in the George Floyd case exonerates the four Minneapolis police officers who were charged with second- and third-degree murder, a former federal and state prosecutor said in a Minneapolis radio interview Sunday. "The murder theory makes no sense at all. These police officers -- let me say this very clearly -- these police officers did absolutely nothing wrong in their handling of this situation," said George Parry in an interview on WCCO radio's "Real Talk with Roshini" Rajkumar.

We’ve reported on Creepy George Soros and his actions that have destroyed the inner cities in the US. Anti American George Soros was interviewed by 60 Minutes years ago. In this infamous interview Soros claimed to have no shame for turning in fellow Jews to the Nazis in World War II Hungary. The Nazis stole from the Jews and Soros claimed that if he didn’t do it, someone else would. This is the man many believe is behind today’s modern corrupt Democrat Party: Soros was reportedly behind the airport protests after President Trump’s election. A week before that Soros was...

There's a 53-47 Republican edge right now [in the Senate], but that may not last for very long after the election," McCarthy told Fox News’s Bill Hemmer, noting that Arizona’s Senate election is a special election. The winner of the McSally-Kelly race will serve out the term of the late Sen. John McCain, who died in August 2018 after being reelected two years earlier. McSally was appointed to the Senate by Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey at the start of 2019 after former GOP Sen. John Kyl took McCain's place and served out the remainder of 2018 before resigning. “If...

Historian John Keegan words on World War II, was "the largest single event in human history," a conflict "fought across six of the world's seven continents and all its oceans. It killed 50 million human beings, left hundreds of millions of others wounded in mind or body and materially devastated much of the heartland of civilization." Much have been analyzed and explored from numerous angles in history books, films and art. Common figures and events are familiar to the average high school student who is buried in the history books. This era is filled with complex and endless fascinating stories...

If President Trump wins a second term and the Republicans to do not retake the House, a significant portion of his voter’s agenda will be derailed. We will see another round of impeachment, Russia 2.0, Orange Man Bad, anything and everything to stop Trump. Trump’s first term will have only been prologue. For the Republicans to take back the House, a net gain of 17 seats is needed. Surmountable, yet not an easy task. Thankfully for the Republicans, there is a playbook, a roadmap, to achieve this success so critical to their agenda. In a recently published book titled Broken...

A woman who had Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg officiate her wedding just weeks ago has been forced to make her Twitter account private after leftist trolls accused her of “killing” the late judicial powerhouse. Barb Solish, of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, was reportedly a family friend of Ginsburg, who, despite suffering from late-stage pancreatic cancer, presided over her wedding to Danny Kazin, an associate with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Ginsburg was pictured without a mask on, People Magazine reports, in photos that the bride posted to Twitter in early September, but an official account of...

One, the “Treaty of Peace” between Israel and the UAE is scheduled to be signed at the White House on Sept. 15, 2020. This is not the “covenant with many” that will begin the Tribulation Period (Dan. 9:27), but it is not hard to find good Bible prophecy teachers that believe it will trigger progress toward that end. This historic “Treaty of Peace” has happened much faster than many people thought, and the “covenant with many” could happen much faster than many people think, especially because the Rapture will have taken place and the world will be in more turmoil...

Dreaming of the destruction of the Jewish state. James Zogby of the Zogby Research Service (ZRS) is not known to be a friend of Israel. In fact, he serves as an effective spokesperson for the Palestinians. An Arab-Palestinian himself, Zogby has been a harsh critic of Israel. Yet, in an opinion piece in Cairo’s Ahramonline (the online version of Egypt’s major outlet Al-Ahram, September 7, 2020) Zogby expressed disappointment with the Palestinian leadership lack of vision.  He expressed it in his piece titled Absent But Needed: A Palestinian Vision. Zogby pointed out that, “what had gone wrong with the Palestinian...
