On his television show "The 700 Club," Robertson delivered a monologue in which he challenged the president on a personal and political level. .."I think it's all over - I think the Electoral College has spoken," Robertson said. "And I don't think the Biden corruption has been fully brought to fruition." Robertson proceeded to thank Trump for his tenure, saying Trump had "done a marvelous job for the economy" but adding that he was "very erratic, and he's fired people and he's fought people and he's insulted people, and he keeps going down the line." "You know, with all his...

Much as some Americans may long for a secession movement, one of America’s enemies is counting on it. There is much loose talk about secession among conservatives. Focused as they are on the outrages of the Left – the cheating, the immorality, the welfare-state entitlement, and the rabid anti-Christian beliefs that put men in women’s bathrooms – conservatives think that these represent the fundamental existential threat to the Republic. They do not. Over the horizon lies the largest, most well-funded, most well educated, communist power in the history of the earth. It is atheist, secularist, and mercantilist. It has a...

Since the 2016 election, Democrats have made all kinds of nullification standard fare, but more pernicious than displaying a disagreeable temperament, or contrary opinion; more than First Amendment-protected civil disobedience. Instead, making that which is legitimate, illegitimate; making what is illegitimate, legitimate. Making what is decent, abhorrent; making what is grotesque, glorious—all enjoying approbation from a fawning media. Any and all tactics, now including election fraud, and covering up bribery of a president to-be, are used unapologetically, with no subterfuge, and with impunity. Truth now is subjective, conditioned on identity and whether it will be canceled by the mob, or...

In a slew of important cases before the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Roberts “has engaged in strategic maneuvering, observed Adrian Vermeule and Varad Mehta at The Washington Post: Roberts' goal appears to be to preserve what he takes to be the legitimacy of the Supreme Court, by disproving any suspicion that the justices vote ideologically or otherwise ­engage in political behavior.” The problem: “Because it is so clear that he is crafting opinions with this end in mind, the chief justice defeats his own aims.” His effective rewriting of the ObamaCare law in 2012 was the most notorious example....

The Facebook-owned social-media giant "Instagram” is characterizing “well-established criticisms” of Joe Biden and his 1994 crime bill as “False,” reports blogger Glenn Greenwald. A post on the platform “said nothing more than what Biden’s chosen running mate, Kamala Harris, has herself said” — namely, that the ’94 law “contributed to the mass incarceration of Americans generally and African Americans specifically.” Indeed, many “media outlets, criminal-justice experts and politicians from both parties” have said the same. Yet Instagram plastered a “False” label on the post, saying it had “no basis in fact.” A tech giant declaring someone “a disseminator of disinformation...

Fearful of sending her two children back to school as the coronavirus pandemic raged in Mississippi, Angela Atkins decided to give virtual learning a chance this fall. Almost immediately, it was a struggle. Their district in Lafayette County didn’t offer live instruction to remote learners, and Atkins’ fourth grader became frustrated with doing worksheets all day and missed interacting with teachers and peers. Her seventh grader didn’t receive the extra support he did at school through his special education plan — and started getting failing grades. After nine weeks, Atkins switched to home schooling. By taking her children off the...

WASHINGTON - The huge pandemic relief and spending bill includes billions of dollars to promote clean energy such as wind and solar power while sharply reducing over time the use of potent coolants in air conditioners and refrigerators that are considered a major driver of global warming. The energy and climate provisions, supported by lawmakers from both parties, were hailed as the most significant climate change law in at least a decade. The sprawling legislation also extends tax credits for solar and wind power that are a key part of President-elect Joe Biden’s ambitious plan to generate 100 percent “clean...

Travel warnings are falling on millions of deaf ears in the US as domestic fliers took to the skies in large numbers over the weekend, despite an alarming surge in COVID-19 cases. More than a million people passed through US airport security checkpoints on both Friday and Saturday, a sign that many Americans are not paying heed to public health pleas to avoid holiday travel and non-essential social interaction. The weekend rush on US airports marks the first time TSA officials have screened more than a million passengers since the end of the Thanksgiving weekend. That period saw an increase...

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio mocked Fox News’s coverage of remarks he made last week in which he said he sees “redistribut[ing] wealth” as part of his mission in overseeing the city's education system. Addressing underserved neighborhoods in the city and those hardest-hit by the coronavirus pandemic and its economic fallout, de Blasio said in a Monday briefing “we’ve got to right the wrong by making them the priority. So that’s what we will be doing as we go into 2021, as we go into the next school year.” De Blasio said the network “apparently was very interested” in...

Attorney General William Barr will leave office Wednesday the same way he came in—as a class act. Barr offered a refreshing contrast to President Barack Obama’s former attorney general, Eric Holder, who characterized himself as Obama’s wingman. Barr understands that his first loyalty is to the Constitution and the rule of law, not the president. Attorney General William Barr will leave office Wednesday the same way he came in—as a class act. He carried out his role as the consummate professional who followed the law, administered justice, and forged ahead—despite relentlessly unfair and unjustified criticism leveled at him. Barr offered...

Concerns that family reunions over Christmas could spread coronavirus have led to much tighter restrictions in many parts of the UK.Some have pointed to the US, claiming that family gatherings at Thanksgiving - at the end of November - led to an increase in cases.So, what - if any - evidence is there for this?What you can see from the graph is that because of reporting delays around the holiday period, there was a flattening of the curve followed by a catch-up period.

s the end of Advent approaches, the Office of Readings features some final admonitions from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah.

Today, these texts speak to us in difficult times when, exiled from Heaven, we await His magnificent Second Coming.Let’s look at these admonitions from the Lord (Isaiah 46:3-13), which were addressed to three different groups in ancient Israel. However, let’s apply them to three groups in our own times:...
