Chelsea Handler explained why she took ex-boyfriend 50 Cent to task over his Trump endorsement during an interview Friday. 50 Cent has backed Trump Monday after seeing supposed Biden tax numbers. Handler then tweeted at him that 'black lives matter. That's you! Remember?' Handler said Friday that if 50 Cent changed his position on Trump, she might be willing to 'go for another spin' with him. 'So he doesn't want to pay 62 percent in taxes because he doesn't want to go from "50 Cent" to "20 Cent" and I had to remind him that he was a black person,...

What the frack was Joe Biden thinking? Or is this what happens when the teleprompters are off, live TV is on, and a pandering politician befuddled by it all riffs — and whiffs? Thursday night, from Erie to Pittsburgh, Harrisburg to Minersville, Wilkes Barre to Somerset, Pennsylvania voters learned the truth about Joe Biden’s “inconvenient truth.” He’s now okay with fracking, but clearly not okay with oil and gas. The reactions were faster than Biden’s attempts at cleaning up what he’d stepped in later that night.

Former GOP and absolute toad Peter Vroom was so outraged by three nuns who attended a Trump rally in Ohio that he wanted to FIND THEM. How DARE those nuns support the only president to actually take on Planned Parenthood … the nerve of those broads.

The sale of gasoline in socialist-controlled Venezuela is increasingly being controlled by socialist warlords in a similar manner to drug trafficking, Argentinian outlet InfoBae detailed in a report Friday. Amid chronic gasoline shortages across the oil-rich nation, socialist militias and military officials have taken advantage of the unmet demand by gaining preferential access to supplies and selling them at markups of up to 1000 percent. One of the groups also taking advantage of the supply and demand is the People’s Liberation Army (ELN), a communist terror group based in Colombia and supported by Nicolás Maduro’s socialist regime. According to one...

In a year with an assembly line of tumultuous events, few have cited taxes as a major presidential campaign issue — until the recent debates. But after months of economic uncertainty, financial security is on everyone’s mind. “It’s the economy, stupid” has been the most reliable election fundamental since 1992. This year, both candidates hold significantly differing views on their idea of prosperity. And taxpayers won’t let media-fueled chaos distract from that reality either. Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee, has promised to fully repeal the 2017 federal tax cuts that benefited most Americans. At the same time, Biden claims his...

Philadelphia Black Lives Matter activists say they’re building the movement beyond protests — they’re confronting the disparities that put people in the criminal justice system in the first place ---SNIP--- After Philadelphia’s summer of protests against police brutality and systemic racism, activists are moving into a new season. They’re sustaining momentum by expanding their objectives and establishing their own community group model, working in the neighborhoods they want the city to invest in.

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. BINGHAMTON, Wednesday, Oct 24. There was a great gathering of people here today, including delegations from all the neighboring towns. The speaking commenced at 1 o'clock, and continued through the afternoon and evening. Mr. SEWARD was the first speaker. He was reserved with much enthusiasm, and commenced by saying that they were all acquainted with the science of necromonics -- a science based on the fact that ideas were assigned to depositories. It was his habit to associate ideas with rivers, plains and mountains. He associated with Palestine the three great religious ideas which...

The Israeli military launched a large-scale multi-front exercise on Sunday morning, simulating war with the Lebanese Hezbollah. Dubbed “Lethal Arrow,” the multi-day general staff drill will see the participation of thousands of troops from various branches of the military including the Air Force, Navy and the Ground Forces as well as from the Intelligence, Technological, Logistics and Cyber Defense directorates. The drill will see activity by IDF fighter jets, attack helicopters and other aircraft and naval vessels as well as physical maneuvers by ground forces. “The aim of the exercise is to improve the IDF’s offensive capabilities at all echelons...

Whatever political momentum Joe Biden might have had going into the final debate, President Trump drank it right up on live TV. By the time it was over, Old Joe looked drained and confused, and the prez stood smiling like a kid slurping up every last drop of dessert before ordering seconds. Biden must have been thinking, "How did I get here?" Or rather, "How is it that this guy is still kicking my butt? I've got all the news corporations working on my behalf. Facebook and Twitter are actively censoring information that makes me look bad. The DOJ is...

In much the same way that dinosaurs miniaturized to today’s birds, the ancient Democrat solons and media have devolved from positions of respect and power to starlings, annoyingly chirping and scattering guano from their perches. The easy access to the internet diminished the power of the networks to control the narrative. Indeed, their monopoly is dead, and their audience must largely consist of people too feeble to manage the remote controls and turn them off or too technologically illiterate to view how crooked TV reporting has become. The president understands this and has utilized every means to get his message...

After Joe got caught being dishonest in the debates about opposing fracking, the search phrase “change my vote” started trending on Google.

I can understand people being wary of Donald Trump in 2016. When I’m feeling generous I even forgive them for voting against him because at that point he was an unproved equation. Plus, despite what we thought at the time, the Left had not yet revealed their full depth of veniality. Nor had they fully revealed the danger associated with their absolute hatred for the founding principles of America. But now, now here comes a man reviled solely because he stood in the way of their power to control us. A man who has survived every piece of crap...

Historic letter by leading Rabbonim in America in support of President Trump is released ahead of the elections. The letter which includes the signatures of the Admorim of Pupa, Bobov, Munkach, Vizhnitz, Skver, Rachmistrivka, both Satmar Rebbes, the Dayan of the Crown Heights Bais Din as well as the Rosh Hayeshiva of Lakewood, Philadelphia, and South Fallsburg is an unprecedented joint letter of appreciation and blessing, spearheaded by Rabbi Moshe Margareten of the Tzedek Association. The letter was first drafted in the summer and signatories were added until recently and signed by an unprecedented union of Rabbonim before being publicly...

When the lost souls of this world face serious life crises and have no source of hope, Christ’s church is meant to embody the difference they are looking for. Our lives are to be distinguished by hope, joy, peace, love and giving. But a lot of followers today have erased those distinctions by creeping toward a line of compromise and even crossing it. As a result, the lost and hurting see Christians’ lives as no different from their own. Jesus addressed this when he said to his disciples, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word; and My Father...

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he is prepared to work with either man that wins the election but noted Democrats share an “ideological basis” with Russia and that those ideas are what gave rise to the Communist Party. Putin made the comments in an interview with state-run Rossiya TV. The Russian leader took aim at Joe Biden’s increasingly critical view of his country. “As for the Democratic candidate, what can I say? We can hear rather sharp anti-Russian rhetoric, as well,” Putin said. “Regrettably, we have become used to this.” “But … the Democratic Party is traditionally closer to the...

Editor's Note: This is Part Two in a two-part series. In the first part of this essay, I explored how a conservative justice can help to restore judicial modesty and restraint on abortion and the ACA. Below, I outline four unconventional health policy issues that will also benefit from the influence of Justice Amy Coney Barrett and, hopefully, more conservative thinkers to follow. Expand the Second Amendment. Don’t think gun rights are a health issue? Ask one of the hundreds of thousands of gun owners who use their weapons every year to defend themselves or another person. Or, how about asking...

We know from Scripture that storms and great trials come to all who have truly given everything to Christ: “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all” (Psalm 34:19). Moreover, as you hunger after the Lord — if you are determined to seek him with your whole heart, setting your mind and soul to obey his Word — you will continually be a target of the devil’s envy. The most trying of all spiritual battles takes place in the mind of the believer. Many Christians battle thoughts that are oppressive, fearful, unlike...

Thanks to the hidden support from voters who are embarrassed to admit they will vote for Donald Trump, the president will be narrowly reelected on Nov. 3, says one of the few pollsters who correctly predicted his 2016 victory. Pollster Robert Cahaly, the head of the Georgia-based Trafalgar Group, saw interest in his company skyrocket in 2016 after he bucked the consensus of other pollsters and forecast that Trump would beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in Michigan and Pennsylvania, two states that were crucial to his victory. He credits a proprietary model of calculating a polling sample that takes into account...
