President Donald Trump used the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to deliver a powerful broadside against the great adversary of our time, communist China. His speech served as a timely reminder of one of the critical differences between himself and the cellar-dwelling Democrat establishment doyen-turned-Trojan Horse of the Left opposing him, former Vice President Joe Biden. The difference is this: President Trump, long a critic of the globalist establishment's China policy of integration and accommodation, has matched his word with deed as commander-in-chief, comprehensively confronting the People's Republic of China (PRC). Former Vice President Biden, long...

It didn't matter what the findings of the Breonna Taylor grand jury were going to be. Black Lives Matters and their sympathizers were well prepared to riot on Wednesday night in Louisville and other cities, like New York and Washington. The video of that rented U-Haul filled with big signs and who-knows-what-else is all the proof you need that their "peaceful protest" was a planned operation. Taking over the streets, burning down buildings, destroying businesses, shooting things at police and roughing up ordinary citizens was like a summer job for protesters in dozens of our cities. Now it looks like...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.orlandosentinel.com/politics/os-ne-desantis-florida-reopens-20200925-f3sr4wk5tncvvkhwr6ua4pereq-story.html%3foutputType=amp Desantis in Florida lifts Coronavirus restrictions. That is leadership. Abbott in Texas, you better be paying attention. - Drivers license wait time to get an appointment in suburban Houston is currently 5 months. I blame Abbott. The slow DMV got 10 times slower because of work flow inefficiencies caused by Coronavirus policies.

In cities like Baltimore, MD, it’s not easy for a black Republican to run for office. It may sound like a cliche, but stories like this show that in these cities, the opposition will stop at nothing to maintain the status quo. This reality became even more evident during a Zoom debate between candidates seeking to become the next mayor of the city. Pastor Shannon Wright is a black Republican candidate who is attempting to end the streak of Democratic domination of the office of mayor. But, as a conservative running in a heavily blue city, she has run into...

Searchers combing the area where a Ukrainian military aircraft crashed found two more bodies Saturday, bringing the death toll to 26. One person survived. The plane, a twin-turboprop Antonov-26 belonging to the Ukrainian air force, was carrying a crew of seven and 20 cadets of a military aviation school when it crashed and burst into flames Friday night while coming in for landing at the airport in Chuhuiv, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) east of the capital Kyiv. Two people initially survived the crash, but one later died in a hospital. No cause for the crash has been determined.

September 25, 2020 Friday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time Reading 1 ECCL 3:1-11 There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every thing under the heavens. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them;...

Today President Trump announces hes Supreme Court Nomination. Please post whatever information, news, updates, Dem protests, Dem emotional breakdowns, etc. here.

This headline caught my eye: UAE minister: Iran’s aggression made Arab world look at Israel ‘with fresh eyes’ The United Arab Emirates didn’t need peace with Israel to counter Iran, a top UAE official said Friday, but he said Iran’s aggressive policies over three decades alarmed many Arab countries and made them look at their relationship with Israel “with fresh eyes.” It strikes me that the racist, terrorist arm of the Democratic party [SAY THEIR NAME! BLM/ANTIFA!] might force that same type of uneasy alliance between Democrats and Trump if they’re not careful. Because even if there is a lot...

Walking the streets of lower Manhattan for the first time in a long time, I was talking with a friend a few days ago. Over the course of 20 blocks or so, I would occasionally play with my facemask, to get a little extra air. Not take it off, not to pull it down, but pull it outward. I suspect that when I did that, my nose could have become exposed. The point of this story is, a woman coming toward us, but still quite far, started screaming at me. At first, I had no idea what was going on....

On Thursday, in his continued effort to get his case dismissed, Michael Flynn filed a third brief supporting the original dismissal claim. This made waves because it included texts between FBI analysts in which they admitted that they knew the investigation against Michael Flynn was unfounded and driven by partisan animus. The text messages might have revealed more than that: One texter confessed that those involved bought professional liability insurance after becoming afraid that news might leak about their conduct. They might have committed insurance fraud if they didn’t let the insurance companies know they had already committed wrongful acts....

Now we know why the Democrat/media Axis of Propaganda felt the need to run its hoax alleging President Trump made disparaging remarks about members of the U.S. military. – They had to project that sin onto the President – using nothing but anonymous, and thus probably non-existent sources – because they knew this video of Creepy Joe McWifeMolester would eventually surface: “Clap for that, you stupid bastards.” Biden was Vice President at the time of this and other off-color remarks he made during this particular speech in 2016, and to be fair, he sounds like he had had a few...

[Note: This piece is heavy on video content.] Time to hook him back up to that IV in the basement. – The Democrat Party’s Unfrozen Caveman Candidate needed a long nap on Friday so his elder-abusing handlers called a lid on the day by 11:00 ET. It marked the 10th day in the first 25 days of September on which the elderly, declining Biden became so tired after a public outing that he had to retreat back to his basement lair. Because Gropey Joe McNastyFinger was not able, Jill Biden got the assignment of making the campaign’s speech of the...

Image by Northrup Grumman, from military.com, scaled and cropped by Dean Weingarten In my 30+ year career in Army Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation, (RDT&E), there was some exposure and support of laser weapons. A principle concern with lasers is how the interact with the atmosphere. That is where my old outfit came in.Lasers have been used in weapons systems since shortly after their development, for ranging and sensing, and information technology. I am writing about weapons that burn, shoot down, and blow things up.My team supported a laser weapons test about 1975 as I recall. This correspondent was not...

“Today, we are profoundly honored by their (Bay of Pigs veterans) presence. We’re joined by these 20 incredible veterans — Brigade 2506 — and their families. Could I ask you to stand, please? …I appreciate you being here.  This is tremendous. It’s an honor. You’ve been honoring me for four years, and now I’m honoring you, and that’s a nice way to do it…The courageous veterans here today bear witness to how socialism, radical mobs, and violent communists ruin a nation.  Now, the Democratic Party is unleashing socialism right within our own beautiful country... We will honor your courage with...

"New York Times" columnist Thomas Friedman said in an interview with CNN host Anderson Cooper on Thursday that if you are not frightened right now, you are not paying attention. "It's terrifying because the Republican Party has become basically a political brothel, that rents itself out by the night to ever will energize its base," Friedman told Cooper. "Whether it was Sarah Palin or the Tea Party, and now Trump. This is a party that went into its convention with no platform. No platform. Basically said whatever Trump wants, we want." (snip) FRIEDMAN: Backed by a party without spine, amplified...

If you suspect that Joe Biden is suffering from dementia and that the very common symptoms known as "sundowning" are part of his illness, then his "mystifying" campaign schedule starts to make sense. The schedule that "mystified" National Review a few days ago: As of late, Biden's team has regularly put a "lid" on his day by noon — or even earlier. And, when it does not, the events that Biden attends seem to have been designed to be either easily cancelable or easily replaceable. The lid has been placed on his schedule earlier in recent days, and yesterday, it...

This was recently added: He has a stutter, which was more prominent in his childhood and his early twenties.[28] He says he has helped to reduce it by spending many hours reciting poetry in front of a mirror,[22]:99 but it sometimes resurfaces "on occasions such as when he is very tired".[29] It has been suggested that this has affected his performance in Democratic debates during his 2020 campaign for the presidency.[30]

In a statement announcing Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death September 18, 2020, Chief Justice John Roberts said, “Our nation has lost a jurist of historic stature. We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her – a tireless and resolute champion of justice.” Ginsburg was a champion of something, but it wasn’t justice for the unborn. Sure, the left’s superhero was a tireless and relentless liberal judge, but she won’t go down in history as the saint Democrats suggest,...

Over all, there are some really valid points here. Not one politician has died from the virus, lost their job, or had their business looted. Or, missed a haircut. Or wears a mask unless on camera Y’all know you’re being played right? ***************************** Remember how we panicked when we couldn’t find any toilet paper? What are we going to do when we can’t find a cop? ***************************** NYC just defunded the very people that ran into the burning Towers on 9/11. Think about it!!!! ***************************** If we all started wearing masks with “Trump 2020” on them, how long before experts...

This will be a weekly post. Count is now 218 judges confirmed. 2 Trade Court judges 161 District Court judges 53 Circuit Court judges 2 Supreme Court justices The Senate this week also confirmed a judge to the Court of Federal Claims (Article I judge, serves 15 years). President Trump is expected to appoint Amy Coney Barrett later today to fill the Supreme Court vacancy resulting from the death last week of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. A Barrett confirmation would then leave a vacancy on the 7th Circuit. Should Trump appoint a replacement and the Senate confirm, that would be...
