Psalm 64:1–10 (NLT) 1 O God, listen to my complaint. Protect my life from my enemies’ threats. 2 Hide me from the plots of this evil mob, from this gang of wrongdoers. 3 They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows. 4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent, attacking suddenly and fearlessly. 5 They encourage each other to do evil and plan how to set their traps in secret. “Who will ever notice?” they ask. 6 As they plot their crimes, they say, “We have devised the perfect plan!” Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning. 7 But God himself...

Democrats are willing to "demonize" Amy Coney Barrett in an effort to derail President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee out of spite, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said Sunday. Blackburn, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee that will approve the nominee, made the comment on "Fox & Friends" after two of her Democratic colleagues said they will not meet with Barrett, characterizing her as an "extreme jurist who will decimate health care." "I think it is very petty of them not to even open the door and sit down and have a conversation," Blackburn said, "but ... this is how the...

Left-wing Hollywood celebrities wasted little time Saturday launching a social media offensive against President Donald Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to succeed the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the U.S. Supreme Court. Not only did they attack her judicial record, they also launched personal insults. “Amy is like a hybrid of Aunt Lydia and a Stepford wife,” Grammy-winning singer Diane Warren tweeted, referring to the Aunt Lydia villain in The Handmaid’s Tale. Left-wingers fear Barrett’s positions on the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, as well as abortion, due to her strong Catholic faith. Some have already launched...

Left-wing groups, including MoveOn, Indivisible, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and the Sunrise Movement are launching protests at courthouses across the country to oppose the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the U.S. Supreme Court. Beginning at 2 p.m. on Sunday in Washington, D.C., a protest will take place at the Supreme Court. The protest, dubbed SCOTUS Rapid Response Action Guide, offers a wide range of guidance for protesters and also provides links so visitors to the guide can donate to Planned Parenthood to “protect RBG’s Legacy.” The guide says, in part: In this moment of overlapping...

I love this woman, in a chaste sort of way. This is 21 minutes and 13 seconds of awesomeness with a devastating knock-out close this Wednesday. The way she routinely submits or knocks out America’s Pravda cadre is a thing of wonderment.

Members of the Minneapolis City Council are backtracking on their collapsed promise to dismantle the city's police department, with some councilors now saying the pledge was 'up for interpretation'. On June 7 the council released a pledge to dismantle the Minneapolis police department and replace it with a new community support and outreach system following the May 25 death of George Floyd. However, that effort was stalled in early August when the city’s Charter Commission voted to pause the amendment to dissolve and replace the police force and voted to take 90 more days to review it.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — In a year of cataclysm, some world leaders at this week’s annual United Nations meeting are taking the long view, warning: If COVID-19 doesn’t kill us, climate change will. With Siberia seeing its warmest temperature on record this year and enormous chunks of ice caps in Greenland and Canada sliding into the sea, countries are acutely aware there’s no vaccine for global warming.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Sunday called on the U.S. Senate to hold off voting on President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, claiming that the right thing to do would be to wait to fill the vacant seat on the court until after January's inauguration. "The Senate has to stand strong for our democracy," Biden said in remarks Sunday afternoon. He went on to say that senators should "take a step back from the brink," and that "this is a time to de-escalate." President Trump told "Fox & Friends" co-host Pete Hegseth that he thinks his nominee...

President Donald Trump announced details of his “Platinum Plan” for African-Americans Friday, which would include increasing capital in black communities by $500 billion, designate the KKK and Antifa as terrorist organizations, and making lynching a national hate crime. The president has pushed the idea of labeling Antifa as a terrorist organization since 2019. It’s expected he would make this happen through executive orders. Trump pushed the idea to the forefront again following violent nationwide protests sparked by the death of George Floyd. “The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization,” the president tweeted at the...

Joseph R. Biden blew up his 1988 presidential bid with a plagiarized fictitious account of his hardscrabble roots, but the experience failed to cure him of his tendency to exaggerate, conflate and even invent stories about his upbringing and political history. Since the start of the 2020 campaign, Mr. Biden has been caught on numerous occasions spinning false and even ludicrous yarns, a tendency that has prompted head-scratching from his supporters and exasperation from conservatives stunned that his tall tales have yet to torpedo his salt-of-the-earth image. “This has been a career-long problem that he’s had,” said Rick Manning, president...

Much as the celebrity cash-and-politics antics of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry disgust us, it appears they disgust Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, even more. Here's what Breitbart reported: The decision by Los Angeles-based Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to wade into the upcoming U.S. election by offering voting advice was a “violation” of their “Megxit” deal with the Queen and could further jeopardise their links to the monarchy, it was claimed Sunday by senior royal aides. According to the Times newspaper, courtiers have been canvassing how the royal household could separate itself further from the pair. The distance is...

The Washington Football Team will face off against the Cleveland Browns this weekend. Prior to the game, the Washington Football Team opted to wear black shirts with a Breonna Taylor message on the front.

President Donald Trump said he believes his Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett could tip the high court toward a decision to overturn Roe v. Wade by possibly allowing individual states to decide whether they should ban abortion. “She is certainly conservative in her views, in her rulings, and we’ll have to see how that all works out but I think it will work out,” Trump told Fox News on Sunday. When asked about whether the landmark abortion ruling could be overturned, Trump said, “It’s certainly possible. And maybe they do it in a different way. Maybe they’d give it...

If you thought liberal journalists and hosts were ugly to Brett Kavanaugh, you haven’t seen anything yet. Minutes after Donald Trump finished nominating Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court on Saturday, MSNBC speculated on secret coded messages the President was sending to racists. If that wasn't enough, race hustler Al Sharpton even disgustingly singled out Barrett’s children. Using the nominee’s two adopted Black children as some sort of prop, Sharpton sneered, “Not to mention, that was the least diverse audience I've ever seen in around announcement like this. I looked around — I was glad her two kids...

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., sent a letter to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., urging him to pledge not to use “anti-Catholic, anti-Christian, anti-faith” interrogations in the upcoming confirmation hearing for President Trump’s SCOTUS nominee Amy Coney Barrett. “There is a long history of anti-Catholic hatred by some in this country, and a growing tide of anti-religious animus on the Left now, and I hope you and your colleagues will not play any further part in it,” Hawley wrote. “Already, members of your caucus have said that they will do this again—that the nominee’s religious views will be a prime...

In moments highlighted in video clips which quickly circulated online Saturday, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden compared President Donald Trump to a notorious figure in the Nazi Party, struggled significantly to make multiple points during an interview, and remarked that he was elected to the U.S. Senate “180 years ago.” Three of the gaffes pointed out by critics online came from Biden’s interview on MSNBC Saturday with host Stephanie Ruhle. “Well, uh, I’m not sure anybody that hadn’t already made up their mind they’re for Trump [inaudible], but who knows,” Biden told Ruhle. “But that’s, you know, he’s sort of...

The FBI has arrested the founder of a Black Lives Matter group in Atlanta on fraud and money laundering charges. placeholder Sir Maejor Page, 32, was accused Friday of misappropriating $200,000 in donations he solicited through Facebook on behalf of Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta, Fox 5 Atlanta reported Friday. Page was arrested in Toledo and released on bond after appearing before a judge via video. He did not immediately return messages Saturday from Fox News. The Toledo FBI office opened an investigation last year after a cooperating witness submitted a fraud complaint against Page, whose real name is...

President Trump has never been known to back away from a political fight, and choosing to nominate a replacement for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg immediately was in character. Now he probably ends his term with the most consequential fight yet. The result could be an enduring 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court or an embarrassing political defeat just as voters head to the polls to decide if he merits a second term. It could also trigger a successful Democratic court-packing effort, ushering in a new era of liberal dominance as early as next year. That last possibility is a...

Ahead of the Senate Judiciary Committee battle over President Donald Trump’s soon-to-be third Supreme Court nominee, Democratic senators have reportedly started to worry that Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), 87, the ranking member of the judiciary committee, may botch the hearings to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the court. “She’s not sure what she’s doing,” a Democratic senator, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told Politico. “If you take a look at Kavanaugh, we may be short two senators because of that. And if this gets [messed] up, it may be the same result. According to Politico,...
