Joe Biden has stated he has never spoken to his son about Ukraine business deals. However, that is a false statement. Hunter Biden is quoted in the New Yorker recalling a time they spoke about Burisma. AS HUNTER RECALLED, HIS FATHER DISCUSSED BURISMA WITH HIM JUST ONCE: “DAD SAID, ‘I HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING,’ AND I SAID, ‘I DO.’” WATCH FACT CHECK...

Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) called on Monday for a probe into the sources of The New York Times story that detailed up to nearly two decades of President Trump's tax documents and business dealings. Brady, the head Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, released a statement on the Times report that published on Sunday, saying a “felony crime was committed” by giving Trump’s tax information to the newspaper. "While many critics question the article’s accuracy, equally troubling is the prospect that a felony crime was committed by releasing the private tax return information of an individual - in...

On this date in 1724, four members of a colonial religious cult were hanged together at the gallows of Charleston, South Carolina. The Dutartre family, whose members comprise two of those executed four, numbered among many Huguenot refugees to settle around Charleston in the late 17th century fleeing religious persecution after France revoked the Edict of Nantes. They settled into the young town’s “Orange Quarter” where for many years French was heard in the streets and from the pulpits.* The Dutartres would turn the orange quarter crimson in the early 1720s, when they fell under the spell of two newly-arrived...

DETROIT, MI—General Motors is making waves after a surprise unveiling of a line of exciting new California-compliant vehicles. After a week of building anticipation, officials at the company revealed its latest innovation for the West Coast: the 2021 Horse And Buggy. The curiosity started last week when GM's Twitter account dropped a cryptic photo of a lone carrot with the phrase "It's coming." Finally, at a live event this week, officials at the company pulled the cover off a stylish, elegant carriage pulled by a powerful single horse. "We had to re-think everything," said lead designer Abraham Moses Jehoshaphat from...

Verizon has been quietly scrambling to unload HuffPost as it grapples with continued losses at the left-leaning news and culture website, The Post has learned. The telecom giant — which acquired the site formerly known as the Huffington Post as part of its $4.4 billion purchase of AOL in 2015 — has approached multiple digital-media companies during the past few months in a bid to get the property off its books as losses accelerate due to the coronavirus, according to sources close to the situation.

Democrats are confronting the limits of their power as they fight against the Supreme Court nomination of Amy Coney Barrett with a strategy aimed at avoiding costly mistakes that could hurt the party’s candidates in November. Unable to block President Donald Trump’s pick on their own, they are arguing to voters that Barrett’s nomination threatens the protections of the Affordable Care Act — a focus that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has embraced and many Democrats see as a winning message. The court will hear a case challenging the constitutionality of President Barack Obama’s health care law just after the...

LEICESTER, United Kingdom – Former Irish President Mary McAleese says she is pledging “to use whatever time is left to me” to challenge Church teachings on homosexuality and women. Speaking to The View on BBC Northern Ireland on Thursday night, McAleese said, “What else I am going to do in retirement except make myself useful in that regard?” McAleese, 69, served as president of Ireland – a largely ceremonial position – from 1997-2011. She has clashed with Church leaders in the past and was barred from attending a conference taking place at the Vatican in 2018. A longtime critic of...

Popular clothing brand Fred Perry has announced it will no longer sell a specific polo top in the USA and Canada following its association with a far-right group. British brand Fred Perry has long been associated with diversity and independence, and is a popular symbol of British youth subculture.

However, Fred Perry have just released a statement making it clear that they have no affiliation with the extremist group, and they want the association to be diminished completely. SNIP

Biden Campaign operatives in Texas are attempting to rig the 2020 election with a massive ballot harvesting scheme, according to two private investigators who testified under oath that they have “video evidence, documentation and witnesses” to prove it. With the help of mass mail-in ballots, the illegal ballot harvesting operation could harvest 700,000 ballots, one Harris County Democrat operative allegedly bragged. The investigators—a former FBI agent and former police officer—claim that Biden’s Texas Political Director Dallas Jones and his cohorts have been “hoarding mail-in and absentee ballots” and ordering operatives to them fill out for people in Harris County illegally,...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to news reports of President Trump’s planned nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to become a Supreme Court Justice, NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice announces its opposition to Judge Barrett. Years of decisions by Judge Barrett on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals prove that she does not hold all life to be sacred, as we are instructed to do by Catholic Social Teaching and Pope Francis. The next Justice who fills the seat of Ruth Bader Ginsburg must advocate for the equally sacred issues that Pope Francis calls all people of good faith...

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler on Monday warned in a letter sent to California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) that his executive order banning gas-powered vehicles may be unlawful, Reuters reports. Wheeler wrote that Newsom’s plan “raises serious questions regarding its legality and practicality” and argued that it may cause further issues problems plaguing the state’s electrical grid. “California’s record of rolling blackouts – unprecedented in size and scope – coupled with recent requests to neighboring states for power begs the question of how you expect to run an electric car fleet that will come with significant increases in electricity...

As the left brags about how much Joe Biden paid in taxes, they missed one important question Paying more in taxes means often correlates with making more in revenue. Just how much revenue does Joe Biden make? Following yesterday’s NY Times bombshell (that is actually a nothingburger) about President Trump’s questionably acquired tax returns, one of the big focus points is how much the President paid over the years in income tax. They’re playing on the ignorance of the American people who do not understand how taxes, depreciation, and real estate investing work at that level, but nevertheless it makes for...

'The whole world now is being treated and reprimanded, in a unified manner, like little children – up to the smallest details on how to dress, that is, with the face mask, how one may move about, how much distance to keep, on the entire globe, and in a unified manner!'September 28, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – In a new interview, Bishop Athanasius Schneider discusses the response to the coronavirus and sees in the global response to it “signs of a world government.” He also points to the plans of Freemasonic groups which work for “equality, liberty, and fraternity,” adding that with...

New Cardinal Touts Globalist Agenda 'A revolution is underway' ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) - A European cardinal is praising the radical German "synodal way" and its promotion of theologically radical feminism.  Werner Hoyer In a recent interview with katholisch.de, Cdl. Jean-Claude Hollerich, S.J., of Luxembourg discussed his openness to "priestesses" while also touching on illegal foreign refugees and the effects of the COVID-19 closings on the future of the Church.

"It is...

Washburn University removed the statues of Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson from their campus saying that they didn't want those statues to be an embarrassment to alummi. On 8/21/2020, they quietly cancelled a black lives matter rally that was to be held in their stadium. Their excuse was coronavirus. They've just announced the rescheduling of the event to 10/02/2020. I've contacted the University but they need to hear from many more people, so I'm spreading the news far and wide in hopes that an avalanche of emails may cause them to rethink this poor decision.https://washburn.edu/about/leadership/executive-staff.html

Joe Biden's not the only who gaffes. I mean, it could happen to anyone. Personally, I'm prone to the odd spoonerism...right words, wrong order. In February 2018, Nancy Pelosi filibustered for eight hours and seven minutes in 4" heels on behalf of The Dreamers. While I admire her bladder control, it got me wondering what else she's had to say. Turns out, she's had some real doozies. It was Nancy Pelosi who brought us this unforgettable beauty: "Pass the bill to find out what’s in it." Because that's how representative government always works. Uh-huh. While we're on the topic of...
