The United Methodist Church is calling on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to release an undocumented immigrant and father of two U.S. citizens they say was detained on church grounds in a Maryland suburb of Washington, D.C., on Sept. 10. Binsar Siahaan moved to the U.S. from Indonesia in 1989 on a temporary visa. Soon after, his wife, Eko Sukemi, moved to be with him but both overstayed their visas when they expired a few years later. In 2003 the couple applied for asylum on religious grounds, according to The Washington Post, but two years later an immigration judge ordered...

The "creative director" of our local Alamo Drafthouse Theater is holding a League of Women Voters registration event AT the theater AND mentioned on local TV it will correspond to running the "On The Basis of Sex" RBG movie in honor of her death. I emailed and asked if she was trying to alienate half of the theater's business and she claimed none of this is partisan, including the League of Women Voters. This seems outrageous, but then again the Alamo chain is based in Austin so this may be their typical politics. The only reason I've patronized it is...

No excerpt allowed from Bloomberg, story here.

For years we have exposed vulnerabilities in our election systems. Yet the mainstream media has shown no interest in reporting any of these problems, which can lead to election fraud or administrative errors and mistakes by election officials. Quite the opposite. Even once respectable media companies like Reuters play for the other team, the side that denies election fraud and hides breakdowns in the election process. Now, Reuters has made it personal, publishing a 3,000-word hit piece, entitled “Special Report: How a small group of U.S. lawyers pushed voter fraud fears into the mainstream.” The article is riddled with errors....

Teleios evaluated whether those who most ardently adhere to several key foundational principles of Christianity (prayer, faith, praise, outreach, Bible study, belief in salvation by grace and security of salvation) have better wellbeing compared to those who practice these measures less frequently. Our database included 14,422 participants. Those who most frequently did Bible study, taught and shared the gospel had statistically better wellbeing than the rest. Further, the more participants adhered to these principles the higher their wellbeing scored compared to less adherent. IN SUMMARY, our research suggests that increasing adherence to the foundational principles of Christian faith enhances wellbeing....

Mitch McConnell Is the Stuff of Democrats’ Nightmares If he wasn’t already. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will soon be a permanent fixture in the nightmares of Democrats. After President Trump took office, McConnell went from being a useless GOP leader who is only concerned that everyone at the Capitol Hill Club is having a polite time into Super Republican. Should this all go away in November, never let it be said that Cocaine Mitch didn’t make the most of his time as majority leader. McConnell is well-positioned to have his majority place a third conservative justice on the Supreme...

The Democrats' Daddy Warbucks is back and once again using his money to try to buy an election. Michael Bloomberg is among a group of rich people hanging around Florida and offering free fine payoffs to released felons in a more-than-implied exchange for their votes for Democrats. Bloomberg isn't playing non-partisan in this, a frequent dodge of leftists, he's shoveling $100 million of his own cash to make sure Florida votes for Democrats, and this is part of his game. That would be the same Michael Bloomberg who was last seen blowing a billion on his own presidential campaign and...

California is a mess; no secret there. But the degree of decline that befalls it, and the quickness with which that decline is moving, seems to be largely ignored, particularly by Californians themselves. The nation's most populous state, and arguably its most naturally beautiful, is falling apart virtually everywhere we look. Yet state and local governments not only insist on moving forward with leftist policies, but continually double down by moving even farther left, and the state's voters return them to office with ever-increasing electoral margins. California's current approach to virtually all aspects of society — the economy, environment, legal...

Which Duty AR is King? – Nick Perna, a former soldier and currently a cop, weighs in on whether the M16A2 or M4 is a better overall weapon system. Age equals experience. One of the few perks of getting old is that you get exposed to more things throughout the course of your life. This includes weapon systems. I’ve been making a living with a firearm since the late 1980s. In jobs ranging from the military, bounty hunting and law enforcement, I've carried a wide variety of handguns, long guns, crew-served weapons and other things that go "Bang!" I've personally...

Twitter Link: Woman with TDS gets in accident while flipping off Trump supporters with cops right behind her

Many in the media are reacting emotionally to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death. But rather than taking a moment of silence or offering a prayer, many are zeroing in on the future of one issue: abortion. On September 18, the news broke that Justice Ginsburg had passed away at the age of 87 due to complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer. In response, many in the media saw – and took – the opportunity to focus on abortion. That’s because the late justice’s seat, should President Trump choose the next nominee, might not support abortion or Roe v. Wade, the 1973...

David Baker, CEO and president of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, shared the news in a statement Wednesday morning. “All those who love the game of football mourn the loss of one of the greatest to ever play this Game with the passing of Chicago Bears legend Gale Sayers,” Baker said in a statement released Wednesday. “He was the very essence of a team player — quiet, unassuming and always ready to compliment a teammate for a key block.
