James S. Brady Press Briefing Room   1:23 P.M. EDT  MS. MCENANY:  Hello, everyone.  Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have officially shown their blatant disregard for the United States Constitution.  Apparently, it is now a high crime and misdemeanor worthy of impeachment for a lawfully elected President of the United States to exercise his constitutional duty.Article Two, Section Two of the Constitu- — of the Constitution clearly states that the President, quote, “shall nominate,” end quote, justices of the Supreme Court when a vacancy occurs.  No matter the time, no matter the politics of the day, the...

Sometimes it is just impossible to avoid having a bad day, as these social media photos show. Shareably rounded up a selection of photographs from around the world that show people suffering misfortune in unexpected scenarios. Among the amusing snaps is a woman who was horrified to discover one of her Nike sandals shrunk from being left in the sun too long, while the other foot stayed intact. Elsewhere, a man was forced to wait for a locksmith when his key snapped while he was trying to open the storehouse on his property.

FBI agent John Robertson, the man who found Hillary Clinton’s emails on the laptop of Anthony Weiner, claims he was advised by bosses to erase his own computer. Former FBI Director James Comey, you may recall, announced days before the 2016 presidential election that he had “learned of the existence” of the emails on Weiner’s laptop. Weiner is the disgraced husband of Clinton aide Huma Abedin. Robertson alleges that the manner in which his higher-ups in the FBI handled the case was “not ethically or morally right.” His startling claims are made in a book titled, “October Surprise: How the...

SANTA FE – The U.S. Justice Department sided Monday with the father of a seventh grade prep school student in a lawsuit that challenges pandemic-related limits on classroom capacity at private schools in New Mexico as more restrictive than public school guidelines. Albuquerque-based U.S. Attorney John Anderson filed a statement of interest that argues the state is violating the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution by limiting attendance at private schools to 25% of building capacity under a public health order. The limit is set at 50% for public schools under guidance from the Public Education Department, though only...

Bill Clinton secretly met socialite-turned-accused sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell for an “intimate” dinner in 2014 — well after reports that she and perv pal Jeffrey Epstein had abused at least one teen, a report said Tuesday. The former president joined Maxwell — who is now cooling her heels in a Brooklyn jail cell on charges involving the alleged sex abuse of young women — and a small group of friends for the meal in Los Angeles after a celebrity gala that February, sources told the Daily Beast. “This is an intimate dinner with Clinton in LA,” an aghast source told the...

As soon as Donald Trump clinched the Presidential Nomination in 2016, that's when it all started. Trump vs Mental Health Somehow it was assumed that Trump (and his supporters) could never be pro-Mental Health. On Psychology Today, who has approached me to join their team, there are tens of thousands of articles about President Trump and I've yet to find a positive one. In August of 2016, the founder of PsychCentral labeled Trump, "the consummate American bullshit artist" and further proceeded to insult every Trump Supporter on PsychCentral by saying, "the American people will buy any line of B.S." Having...

The liturgy should move the faithful away from the world, not secularize the Church If the Church is supposed to withdraw from the world, then her liturgy must do the same, pointing us to heavenly realities that abide forever. September 22, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — I once said in an interview: In every aspect, the usus antiquior is like a perpetual exorcism of the devil, pointing over and over again to the incarnate God’s triumph over the ancient enemy of human nature. The very fact that the new liturgy abolished or abbreviated exorcisms wherever they were found — in the rite...

Pennsylvania state Republicans filed a petition with the Supreme Court Monday evening, pushing the now eight-justice high court to face their first challenge without the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. State GOP members have requested the Supreme Court review and reverse the recent decision by the Pennsylvania high court that granted a three-day extension for mail-in ballots following the close of polls on Nov. 3, The Hill first reported Tuesday. Traditionally the battleground state required all mail-in ballots to be submitted by the end of day on Election Day. Now mail-in ballots that are received by 5 p.m. on Nov....

Democratic nominee Joe Biden said Tuesday that Cindy McCain, the wife of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), will endorse him for president. Biden made the announcement during a virtual fundraiser, saying Cindy McCain made the decision due to President Trump’s reported comments about fallen service members detailed in The Atlantic earlier this month. “Maybe I shouldn’t say it but I'm about to go on one of these Zooms with John McCain's wife, who is first time ever is endorsing me because of what he talks about with my son and John’s who are heroes, who served their country, you...

[Catholic Caucus] "A pope would be schismatic... 'if he if he were to change all the liturgical rites of the Church that have been upheld by apostolic tradition'." (Francisco Suárez / Klaus Gamber) Only four years had passed since the publication of the new Missal when Pope Paul VI surprised the Catholic world with a new Ordo Missæ, dated April 6, 1969. The revision made in 1965 did not touch the traditional liturgical rite. In accordance with the mandate of Article 50 of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, it had been primarily concerned with removing some later additions to...

Cursive has been controversial for years. The striking thing is that the Education Establishment feels really, really strongly about cursive. They hate it! But why are they so emotional? One professor of education stated emphatically: "Teaching cursive handwriting is an outdated waste of time." A second professor of education, quoted in the New York Times, was equally dogmatic: "Districts and states should not mandate the teaching of cursive. Cursive should be allowed to die." You are hearing the imperious voice of an impatient Education Establishment. They do not want to discuss pros and cons. They want to have a funeral...

Legislation won state Senate approval on Tuesday that would relax some of the restrictions imposed on Pennsylvania’s restaurants and bars that have forced some of these establishments to close for good. House Bill 2513 would set minimum capacity for restaurants and taverns at a minimum of 50% and would allow them to go beyond that if their premises allows while complying with social distancing, masks and other safety precautions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state Department of Health. Further, it would remove Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration’s ban on bar services, allowing patrons to once again...

MADISON — In late March, Wisconsin and the world got to know Cliff and Yvonne Hooks and their Cliff "Cooks" restaurant in Barneveld.  It was a good story in the midst of a pandemic and governments shutting down communities and states nationwide. Hooks took prices off the menus and only accepts donations to help a growing number of community members make ends meet. “There’s no money — there are people that are not sure where their next meal is coming from and they don’t have money to buy food, and it seemed like a simple solution,” he told CNN.The story certainly...

A professor from Michigan’s Grand Valley State University recently penned an op-ed which refers to anti-mask Trump supporters as backers of white supremacy, police brutality, and Neo-Nazi militias. In his China Global Television Network piece, “Integrative Studies” Professor Joel Wendland-Liu chides those who feel restrictive anti-COVID measures are partly based on politics, and accuses the president of “undermin[ing] public health warnings and downplay[ing] the seriousness of the pandemic.” Pro-Trump anti-maskers, the prof says, “openly support white supremacy via xenophobia, […] racist police brutality and right-wing vigilantes, Neo-nazi militias, Neo-Confederates slogans, and ‘America first’ policies.” They’re are willing to sacrifice their...
