Leftist/Democrats currently are in an absolute panic over the death, and very probable replacement by a Republican president, of US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. They are now promoting the unsubstantiated and wholly strange ideology that a justice - no, just THIS justice - should be replaced: - with a woman - with a person of similar judicial philosophy - by a Democratic President, purportedly the next president Where did ANY of these bizarre demands have their genesis? As far as the last demand, it has been emphasized in several rational recent public discussions how that the appointment of...

During an interview on MSNBC on Saturday, Senate Judiciary Committee member Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) stated that he will not meet with Judge Amy Coney Barrett if she is nominated to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Supreme Court seat “Because I think it would treat this process as legitimate, which it is not.”

Although Amy Coney Barrett is the president's choice to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she is more aptly described as heir to another departed Supreme Court justice: conservative hero Antonin Scalia. Like Scalia, for whom she once clerked, she is a committed Roman Catholic as well as a firm devotee of his favored interpretation of the Constitution known as originalism. Those qualifications delight many on the right but dismay liberals and others who fear her votes could result in the chipping away of some laws, especially the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. President Donald Trump announced his choice of...

Gayle King of CBS News found herself in the social media crosshairs after questioning House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s use of the word “henchmen” to describe the president’s associates in an interview. The television journalist’s name was trending on Twitter early Saturday as folks slammed King, who called out Pelosi’s language as “egregious” and questioned whether the California Democrat’s words were “just as insulting as what [the president’s] saying about you.” “Dear Gayle King, Trump cronies are henchmen. They are prepared to engage in crime, dishonesty, violence, and debauchery to defend the pathological lying, racist, wannabe dictator in the White House....

Where will you go to find another country that provides the opportunities and individual guarantees of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness outlined in our founding documents and guaranteed by a government of, by and for the people? Name a country that offers you and your family the same or more than our United States of America? The answer is: Nowhere; there isn’t such a place. This is our land, these are our people, these are our cities, neighborhoods and streets and this is our country. President John F. Kennedy described America as the beacon of hope for others...

Two former Republican lawmakers wrote an op-ed on Friday explaining why they are supporting Democrat Joe Biden instead of President Trump in November, arguing Trump is "an ill-formed man who lacks basic self-control and shows no semblance of inner character." Former Reps. Charles Djou (R-Hawaii) and Mickey Edwards (R-Okla.) in an opinion for Roll Call condemned Trump's "childish name-calling, crude behavior and immature narcissism.".... Djou and Edwards said the Democratic presidential candidate is "not a perfect man, but he is a man of humble decency."

Kentucky’s black attorney general just isn’t black enough for a lot of radical activists. The co-founder of the Women’s March, Tamika Mallory, called Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron a “sell-out negro” who is no different from those black tribes that sold Africans into slavery. Apparently, Black Lives Matter only if they think a certain way. Cameron, a Republican widely seen in Kentucky as a possible successor to Senator Mitch McConnell, has come under fire from black activists and white liberals for his decision not to charge two of the officers involved in the Breonna Taylor killing with a crime.

President Trump announces his nominee for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States live from the White House Rose Garden.

For the Supreme Court announcement today, the Rose Garden is made to look similar to June 14, 1993 — the day Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s nomination to the high court. SEE...

Democrats now have their talking points.. Some White colonizers "adopted" Black children. They "civilized" these "savage" children in the "superior" ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity.

Democratic presidential nominee former Vice-President Joe Biden rebuffed charges that his proposed policies are "socialist" by pointing out that "I beat the socialist in the primary. After my South Carolina primary win drove all the other candidates from the race it was one-on-one between me and Bernie. I whipped him good." "You know, never once have I read the term socialist or socialism off the teleprompter I use to make my campaign speeches and answer interview questions," the Candidate recalled. "I think the absence of those words pretty definitively proves I'm not a socialist. As for the allegation that I...

What is wrong with Joe Biden? 77-year-old Joe Biden misread his teleprompter on Saturday during a virtual event. Biden said he got to the Senate “180 years ago.” That explains a lot. “That’s why I’ve made it a priority my entire career to work closely with you,” said Biden. “From the time I got to the Senate 180 years ago, you know.” he said with a chuckle.

With all of the hoopla going on about Trump appointing his third SC Justice, as well as the huge ideological differences between the Democrats and the Republicans, the current Justices are worthy of Secret Service protection. In all my time on FR as well as other sources, there has been no mention of SS protection of the SC Justices. What about their family? No better way to get the attention of an SC Justice that to harm or murder one of their family members.

Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any worse, several communities in Texas are under a “do not use water” advisory due to fears that a brain-eating amoeba could be in their tap water. According to the CDC, the amoeba, Naegleria fowleri, is most commonly found in warm freshwater systems such as lakes, rivers and hot springs in warmer parts of the U.S. People often get infected by swimming in these areas, but the CDC lists “contaminated tap water” and “inadequately chlorinated swimming pool water” as “very rare instances.” The amoeba infects people by entering the body through the nose...

Alex was having trouble in school. His teacher constantly yelling at him, "You're driving me crazy Alex! Can't you learn anything?". Alex's mama decided to meet with his teacher to discuss the situation. The teacher told her Alex was a disaster, getting the lowest marks of any of her students. She had never had such unmotivated and ignorant boy in her teaching career. Alex's mama, shocked at the feedback, withdrew her son and moved from Detroit to Cleveland. Twenty years later, the teacher was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her doctors advised surgery and recommended that she go to Cleveland...

On September 30th, the No Sail order from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) will expire. Will the CDC lift the ban or will another extension be added to a long six months period without cruises. Since the CDC No Sail Order came into effect in March, many companies have ended up in severe financial trouble. Another extension of the no sail order will surely put some of these companies over the edge of bankruptcy. Of course, the major Cruise Lines did not receive any stimulus packages as many are registered in ports of convenience. The Cruise Lines are preparing...

Facebook is censoring posts and videos that it has decided “support” (Kyle Rittenhouse) and has designated the accused Kenosha gunman a dangerous individual, before there has been a trial. Conservative YouTuber Mark Dice told numerous news outlets and his own social-media followers Wednesday that Facebook had Rittenhouse. “Facebook just removed a video I posted showing Kyle Rittenhouse offering help to a wounded protester in Kenosha and are threatening to delete my entire account,” he wrote on Twitter as he posted the (video) there.(Lawyers cast Kenosha shooter as 'brave patriot': 'Kyle Rittenhouse will go down in American history')

Breaking Form, Pope "Decapitates" A Cardinal – With Becciu's Exile, A Monster Vatican Precedent n a 2016 interview with his hometown paper, Pope Francis told La Nación one key to his governing style: "I don't cut off heads," he said. "I've never liked doing that."Yet now, the pontiff has done just that, effectively stripping one of his inner circle of the red hat in stunning, dramatic fashion.At 8pm Thursday in Rome, the Holy See Press Office slipped out a very late, one-sentence addendum to the noontime Bollettino, stating that Francis had "accepted the resignation of the office of Prefect of the Congregation for...
