The White House recently hosted a Chanukah party. And the Washington Post was on it, of course: (series of tweets and photos at twitchy)

March for Trump now ...

A 2017 email published by NBC News revealed Hunter Biden reportedly did not disclose $400,000 in income from Ukrainian energy firm Burisma in 2014 and was advised to do so. Hunter Biden’s former business partner sent him an email in 2017 saying he did not disclose on his tax returns $400,000 in income from the Ukrainian natural gas company where he sat on the board, according to a copy of the email obtained by NBC News. The message from Eric Schwerin, then president of Rosemont Seneca Partners, says Hunter Biden would need to “amend” his 2014 returns to reflect the...

This holiday season you may want to diversify your normal beer consumption and try out a seasonal holiday brew. But there can be so many beers to choose from, you may not know where to start. To make your decision easier, I decided to put five widely available holiday beers to the test. I sampled Samuel Adams' Winter Lager, the Shiner Holiday Cheer Bavarian-style dark wheat from Spoetzl Brewery, Sierra Nevada's Celebration Fresh Hop IPA, Harpoon's Winter Warmer Holiday Ale, and New Belgium Brewing's Accumulation White IPA. Here are the five holiday beers I tried, ranked from my least favorite...

New York Times op-ed columnist David Brooks ignited a wave of backlash after insulting rural Americans who have no contact with the “expert class.” SNIP “Look at how much more Republicans are affected by conspiracy theories than the Democrats, so it can’t just be the internet, there must be some demand,” Brooks said, pointing out the “two core problems.” “A lot of people in the expert class live in blue cities who are thriving,” he claimed. “And a lot of people left behind in the rural parts of America, they feel threatened economically, culturally, socially and they have no contact...

More Untergang splicing. Never gets old.

Democrat vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris is named as a key contact in Hunter Biden's emails during a discussion about a shady foreign business deal with a Chinese Communist Party-linked energy company. The email is from a laptop belonging to former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, that was leaked before the election.

Liberal Hollywood ladies are petitioning the incoming Biden Administration to appoint a specific congresswoman to the president’s cabinet and it won’t surprise you to find out that it is due to identity politics. And Mother Earth. Rep. Deb Haaland (D-NM), first elected in 2018, is the woke choice for Secretary of the Department of the Interior according to an open letter sent to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. Organized by Marisa Tomei and her group We Stand United, the letter was signed by a host of liberal women’s and native groups, along with the usual Hollywood suspects...

NOW LIVE: Wisconsin Supreme Court Oral Arguments

Amid the allegations of fraud in the 2020 election, the State of Texas is leading the way in upholding the law to promote a fair contest. This past Friday, three Democratic Party operatives were indicted by a Grand Jury in Harris County for election related felonies and misdemeanors in two separate districts. This announcement comes one month after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton charged a Limestone County social worker with 134 counts of Election Fraud. A DNC political consultant, Damien Jones, was indicted for Coercion of a Public Servant and False Caller Identification Information Display. Jones is alleged to have...

Scientists have been sending spiders into space to see how the spider’s web-making ability changes in the microgravity aboard the ISS. As simple as it sounds on the surface to put a spider in space and see how microgravity affects web making, it was challenging to achieve. On Earth, spiderwebs are asymmetrical, and the center is displaced towards the upper edge. When resting, spiders sit head down because it allows them to move towards freshly caught prey in the direction of gravity. The question was, what would spiders do in the absence of gravity. What was discovered about how spiders...

More than 120 Republican members of the US House of Representatives formally asked the US supreme court this week to prevent four swing states from casting electoral votes for Joe Biden to seal his victory in the November election, a brazen move that signals how the Republican party has embraced Donald Trump...

“I have been on the phone on a weekly basis with CEOs across the country, and it’s not just California,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott told CNBC. On Friday, Oracle became the latest company to announce it was moving its headquarters to Texas. The Republican governor’s comments came shortly after it was reported that software giant Oracle is moving its corporate center from Redwood City, California, in Silicon Valley to Austin, Texas.

In October, the Seattle City Council floated legislation to provide an exemption from prosecution for misdemeanor crimes for any citizen who suffers from poverty, homelessness, addiction, or mental illness. Under the proposed ordinance, courts would have to dismiss all so-called “crimes of poverty”—which, according to the city’s former public-safety advisor, would cover more than 90 percent of all misdemeanor cases citywide. In effect, the legislation would create a new class of “untouchables,” protected from consequences by the city’s powerbrokers. This is the latest and most brazen effort in the city’s campaign to establish what might be called a “reverse hierarchy...

Prior to election day, the misdeeds of presidential candidate Joe Biden's son Hunter were largely hidden from the general public. Part of this was achieved by the mainstream media's refusal to publish or air any of the evidence of Hunter's suspicious business dealings. It has now been acknowledged that US Attorney General William Barr also gave orders to the FBI to put the clamps on any evidence they found "so as not to influence the election." Barr cited a post election poll indicating that "a potentially decisive percentage of those who voted for Biden said that if they had been...

Several years ago, in a documentary called “Religulous” (clever, right?), Bill Maher claimed that most of the story of Christ, especially the parts about His birth, were cribbed from pagan mythology. After all, Maher claimed, the Egyptian God Horus was born of a virgin on December 25th, was baptized, had twelve disciples, performed miracles, and ultimately died and rose again. Christianity, said Maher, is nothing but a cheap knockoff. The problem is, as numerous critics have pointed out, Maher’s claims are complete nonsense. No original source material backs up his description of Horus or, for that matter, of Mithras or...

‘Judgment at Nuremberg’ is a movie about Nazi Judges who let the Law itself become a weapon of evil . It is a powerful film with Burt Lancaster playing the part of Ernst Janning , a man who was once a highly esteemed judge in Germany. Spoiler Alert!

It is one thing to be a radical, feminist atheist marching down the streets of DC and proclaiming your “right” to abortion. It is another thing to be a “pro-choice pastor,” as Senate candidate Raphael Warnock claims to be, using the Bible to justify abortion. This is as morally compromised as it is theologically confused. Yet Warnock is unashamed of his position, tweeting on December 8, “I am a pro-choice pastor.” Worse still, as of this writing, his tweet has more than 215,000 likes, representing almost half of the 500,000 followers of the Reverend Raphael Warnock Twitter account. How can...

On Friday, just before the Supreme Court rejected Attorney General Ken Paxton’s (R-Texas) explosive lawsuit challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election in four key swing states, Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. (D-N.J.) asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to refuse to seat members of the next Congress who support President Donald Trump’s effort to challenge the election results. Pascrell accused the 126 Republicans who supported the Texas lawsuit of “insurrection or rebellion” — or at least, of supporting “insurrection or rebellion” — against the Constitution. “Stated simply, the men and women who would act to tear the United States...
