Democrats began smearing Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Friday night before President Donald Trump even nominated her to become the next Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, which he is expected to do on Saturday afternoon. Dana Houle, a Democrat activist who was once a chief of staff on Capitol Hill to a Democrat lawmaker, tweeted Friday night that he hopes Barrett is investigated over the children she and her husband adopted from Haiti. “I would love to know which adoption agency Amy Coney Barrett & her husband used to adopt the two children they brought here from Haiti,”...

President Donald Trump is preparing to unleash vicious lines of attack in the first debate with Joe Biden, according to a new report, leaving some Democrats fearful that their nominee will be unprepared to counter. The first of three presidential debates is scheduled to take place at 9pm ET in Cleveland, and promises to be a wild night of spirited arguments, and likely personal attacks. While Biden has been in seclusion diligently preparing for the debate, Trump has largely eschewed traditional prep, instead pulling advisors aside on the fly to test out different lines of attack, according to a detailed...

President Trump's commitment to the African-American community is "unparalleled to any other president, Democrat or Republican, in the past 50 years," Georgia Democratic lawmaker Vernon Jones told "Special Report" Friday. "Four years ago he [Trump] talked about what he wanted to do for the Black community and he brought about results," Jones told host Bret Baier. "Opportunity zone districts, support of historically Black colleges, and prison reform with the First Step Act." "President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden did not have a plan for African-Americans," Jones said later. "President Obama meant a lot to Black people but he didn't...

"Real Time" host Bill Maher tore into President Trump's likely Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Friday night -- and warned about the consequences that may follow her confirmation. During his opening monologue, Maher told his audience about the widely expected SCOTUS pick, though had a tough time pronouncing her name correctly. "We'll be saying this name a lot I'm sure because she's a f---ing nut," Maher said. "Religion -- I was right about that one too. I'm sorry, but Amy [Coney] Barrett, Catholic -- really Catholic. I mean really, really Catholic -- like speaking in tongues. Like...

Let's get down to brass tacks -- The communists have been trying to take over our country since world war two... and frankly, they're succeeding! Senator Bernie Sanders is openly socialist, BLM is admittedly Marxist... and we have Antifa fascists as political enforcers. Justice Lagoa is biased AGAINST communism and socialism... and THAT"S a bias on the court that I can live with. She is a logical choice. Yes, there are a lot of issues that us patriots champion... but if the communists -- under the guise of socialism take over -- these "issues" will be moot, because we well...

ABORTION Although Barrett has not ruled directly on abortion as a judge, she has cast votes signaling opposition to rulings that struck down abortion-related restrictions.

A White House adviser refuted CDC director Robert Redfield's estimate that 90% of Americans remain vulnerable to coronavirus infection, going so far as to suggest it was a misstatement. Redfield's comments came during a Senate committee hearing when he said preliminary data from the CDC's large-scale serology testing "show that most Americans have not been infected with the virus and are still vulnerable to the infection, serious illness and death," later adding "more than 90% of the population remains susceptible." But an exchange at a White House press briefing that same day pointed in the opposite direction. “The immunity to...

Federal authorities could seek the death penalty for the two men accused of killing Run-DMC DJ Jam Master Jay, prosecutors said Friday. Prosecutors said they had discussed the move with defense attorneys representing Ronald Washington, 56, and Karl Jordan Jr., 36, the duo accused of busting into Jam Master Jay’s studio on Oct. 30, 2002. Jordan was charged with pulling the trigger at point-blank range, while Washington pointed his gun at others in the room, authorities said. “We had discussed our capital case memorandum which the government is prepared to submit,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Artie McConnell in the Friday...

Vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris called Tupac Shakur the “best rapper alive” during an interview at the NAACP’s virtual convention Friday — even though the legendary emcee has been dead for more than two decades. “Best rapper alive?” CNN commentator Angela Rye asked the Oakland native. “Tupac,” Harris answered with little hesitation before Rye reminded her that the West Coast icon had passed away long ago.

Since May, scores of Republican lawmakers and leaders have offered suggestions to fellow Republican Gov. Greg Abbott to fully reopen the state. They have written numerous letters and made many phone calls expressing how extended executive orders requiring some businesses to remain closed are significantly hurting their constituents. More than 65 Republican legislators sent a letter to Abbott, which still remains unanswered, asking him to simply amend an order to allow some businesses to operate. The majority say they have not received even a response. Since March, more than 8,900 businesses have permanently closed in Texas according to a recent...

President Bush politicized adoption and my little sister - my family and America never forgot it (I never forgave). It is historically noted as a dark mark on American political history. Do not do to Amy Coney Barretts family what was done to mine, democrats. It won't end well.— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) September 26, 2020

“Classical dynamics says if you know the state of a system at a particular time, this can tell us the entire history of the system,” said Germain Tobar, a student in the School of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Queensland. “This has a wide range of applications, from allowing us to send rockets to other planets and modeling how fluids flow.” “For example, if I know the current position and velocity of an object falling under the force of gravity, I can calculate where it will be at any time.” “However, Einstein’s theory of general relativity predicts the...

Pope Francis Backs The Wrong Horse....Again If you care about the Church, you're probably struggling a bit at the moment for lots of reasons. With Jorge Bergoglio at the reigns as Pope Francis, it feels like a mad old parish priest well past his sell by date is running things. He doesn't care about theology, canon law, doctrine, or the effect his decisions have. He supports and promotes the UN, which has at its' heart a dubious strategy of population control. Most of his teaching seems troublingly pantheistic, and occasionally contains more than a feint whiff of direct opposition to...

Use the pandemic to push for a nation-wide vote-by-mail scheme. Enlist all the messengers at your disposal (Hollywood, Corporate Media, Big Tech, Pro Sports) to push for vote-by-mail. Get millions of questionable mail-in ballots into the system. Send Democratic lawyers into key districts to fight for every challenged ballot. Use the courts and progressive election officials to keep the count going as long as possible with as little verification as possible. Set expectations that the election will not be decided on November 3. Plan for mass protests in the streets. Scare people into believing that Trump won’t leave office (should...
