Donald Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows took some heat for his assertion that we're not going to control the pandemic. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Sunday that the country is “not going to control the pandemic” — noting it is contagious like the flu and must be managed with therapeutics and vaccines. “We’re not going to control the pandemic. We are going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigation efforts,” Meadows said during a contentious interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union.”“Why aren’t we going to get to control...

From (13:16) on whether Democrats will move to make DC a state should they win: Sen. Rand Paul "Giving a medium-sized city two senators would really be a slap in the face of every other state. Historically, this was an idea when I was a kid, they were talking about this in the 70's and 80's they said, "let’s make DC a state". The reason it was never a reality is Democrats you know, who were self-respecting proud representative's of states thought they would be skewered if they actually voted for a tiny little city to have the same power...

Black licorice may look and taste like an innocent treat, but this candy has a dark side. On Sept. 23, 2020, it was reported that black licorice was the culprit in the death of a 54-year-old man in Massachusetts. How could this be? Overdosing on licorice sounds more like a twisted tale than a plausible fact. I have a longstanding interest in how chemicals in our food and the environment affect our body and mind. When something seemingly harmless like licorice is implicated in a death, we are reminded of the famous proclamation by Swiss physician Paracelsus, the Father of...

Many Americans recall Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. That daring mission, in head-to-head competition with the Soviet Union, was initiated by Democrat John F. Kennedy and seen through by Republican Richard M. Nixon. Fifty years later, President Trump pledged to put an American man and woman on the moon by 2024. With Democrat commitments soft, space is on the 2020 ballot. And here is why it matters. First, much of what Americans do – and count on – involves space. Communicating via handheld devices, predicting weather, monitoring the environment, dispatching emergency assistance, directing...

ARCHAEOLOGICAL clues predating the birth of Jesus Christ can "pinpoint the exact location" where the Ark of the Covenant once stood, a scripture expert has claimed. The Ark of the Covenant, also known as the Ark of the Testament, is believed to have held the 10 Commandments God gave to Moses in Exodus. The ornate chest with two cherubim atop was treated with the utmost reverence by the Israelites and was interned in Solomon's Temple on Jerusalem's Temple Mount. According to the Biblical account, the Ark with its two stone tablets was held in a special chamber within the temple,...

Left-wing Hollywood celebrities vented their fury as Amy Coney Barrett was sworn in Monday night as the newest justice of the U.S. Supreme Court in a ceremony presided over by Justice Clarence Thomas. “Revolting. Disgraceful. Unconscionable,” filmmaker Michael Moore tweeted.

Democrat Senator Mazie Hirono walked up as the roll call of the vote for Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court was read aloud. Footage shows Hirono (D-HI) tersely saying “hell no” while giving a thumbs down during the vote. Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court by a 52-48 vote Monday and was administered the oath by Justice Clarence Thomas. Hirono had earlier tweeted about Judge Barrett’s perceived “radical views.” She said last month that she would not support the nomination.

The southern Turkish province of Hatay was rocked by an explosion on Monday in what officials have described as a suspected terror attack. Video posted to Twitter on Monday purported to show the moments leading up to the explosion. One Twitter account tweeted, “Breaking: this is allegedly footage of a terrorist attack in #iskenderun, Turkey. The terrorist clashed with the police before he detonated a suicide vest bomb.” In the video, several pops can be heard before a bomb blast can be seen on the sidewalk of a city street. Anadolu Agency, a state-run Turkish news outlet, also shared video...

Analysis: Parting ways with the CNN news chief would put WarnerMedia in need of a new leader as news competitors have been making moves to expand. -snip- Spokespersons from CNN and WarnerMedia did not respond to queries seeking comment on Zucker’s status with the company.

Here we go, folks. This election will determine whether we continue on as a free Republic with the Constitution and the rule of law preserving our republican form of government as established and continue guaranteeing our God-given Liberty or we go Venezuela. If we lose this election, the radical socialist-democrats will attempt to impose their globalist Green New Deal and carry out their plans to pack the courts and do what they wish as a godless one-party state with no constitutional constraints. Then (assuming they were to succeed in subduing we the people--we do have a prior and higher claim...

A new poll conducted after the beheading of a teacher in Paris has found that 79% of French people believe Islamism has “declared war” on their country.

Critical Race Theory explicitly begins with an approach that calls into question neutral principles of constitutional law. It does this specifically to distinguish itself from traditional approaches to civil rights. We're. Being. Played.

The European Union and its member states are the largest single donor bloc financing the PA. A Palestinian child can walk to school along a street named after Abu Jihad, who planned a bus hijacking that killed 38 Israelis, including 13 children, spend the day learning in a school named after Hamas founder Ahmad Yassin, and end the day in a youth center named after terrorist Abu Iyad, responsible for killing the Israeli Olympic athletes in Munich. “Do you think it is beautiful?” a male host asks an 11-year old girl on a popular Palestinian TV program. “Shahada is very,...

As of last night’s swearing-in ceremony, Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett (will we ever grow tired of saying that?) is now a member of the nation’s highest court. From the sound of things, however, she’s not going to have much time to celebrate because she has plenty of work ahead of her. A number of closely watched cases with the potential for carrying historical impact are heading her way. Some have been in the pipeline for quite a while, but others involving disputes in next week’s election may arrive on an emergency basis. Predictably, we already have Democrats and...

Left-wing pop star and leftist activist Cher is teaming up with Hillary Clinton on Thursday for a virtual fundraiser, “sip tea and elect Democrats,” meant to raise money to elect dozens of Democrats ahead of next week’s presidential and congressional elections. “THURSDAY. Join me and [Hillary Clinton] to SIP TEA AND ELECT DEMOCRATS,” Cher wrote on Twitter this week.

Americans should not only be voting for Trump because of what he has done for Israel but rather what he has done for America. There are many American Jews who will be voting for US President Donald Trump because of his support for Israel. These so-called one-issue voters will use their ballots to express gratitude to the president for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, moving the US Embassy there, recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, the peace agreements with UAE and Bahrain and breaking America’s dangerous deal with Iran. But there are many more reasons to vote for Trump....

Netanyahu, Trump, and Zayed at signing of Abraham Accords in Washington, DC, September 14, 2020, {Reposted from the Gatestone Institute website} There is now an agreement, the Abraham Accords, between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, but how do the Palestinians see it? Where do they think it could lead? Advertisement The Palestinians were caught by surprise. I remember when it was announced, I was calling Palestinian officials in Ramallah trying to get their reaction to this agreement. They were in disbelief. They were in shock. Many of these officials even asked me if I was sure it...
