House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern (D-MA) unveiled the rules for the 117th Congress on Friday, which contain “future-focused” proposals, including the elimination of gendered terms, such as “father, mother, son, and daughter.” “This package, which will be introduced and voted on once the new Congress convenes, includes sweeping ethics reforms, increases accountability for the American people, and makes this House of Representatives the most inclusive in history,” said the House Committee on Rules in a statement.

I have been asked by a good friend to pray for his good friend Pastor Thomas Lynch who is hospitalized in serious condition. No details available at this time because we just got the word. Please join us in praying for his full and quick recovery.

Pelosi’s San Francisco home was vandalized overnight … most of the damage was done to her garage door and driveway. The perps spray-painted “Cancel Rent!” and “We Want Everything” in big black letters on her door … and there’s also a nod to the failed $2,000 government stimulus checks. Law enforcement sources tell us San Fran cops responded to a vandalism call at Pelosi’s home around 3 AM. We’re told a police report was taken, but it’s unclear if they have any suspects. Lunatics leave pigs head & graffiti at Nancy Pelosi's house.Appalling.@FogCityMidge is right. News is ignoring.I took...

More than 80 members of the House of Representatives are taking a stand against a Democrat plan to end lawmakers’ eligibility to carry firearms on the grounds of Capitol Hill under current regulations. The effort is being lead by Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) who says she refuses to give up her ability to carry a firearm while spending time in the crime ridden District of Columbia. “I refuse to give up my Second Amendment rights,” Boebert said in a statement, adding: “I’m a 5-foot tall, 100-pound mom with four children and will be walking to work and serving in one...

Abortion in Argentina: A Crime Committed by Francis FriendsIt is “very sad” that with an Argentinean Pope the Argentinean parliament passed an unconstitutional, anti-human and anti-Christian law, the Argentine Curia Archbishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo told LaNacion.com.ar.On December 30, Argentina introduced on of the most inhuman abortion laws worldwide, which “allows” to kill children until the ninth month of pregnancy.Sánchez - a minor figure in the Roman Curia - was the only one to speak out at the Vatican. Francis never officially intervened in the debate.“To do so would have been an interference in a matter of another state,” LaNacion.com.ar excuses...

Vice President Mike Pence's lawyers asked a federal judge Thursday to reject a request from Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas that attempts to force Pence to ignore electoral votes of several key states when Congress meets to certify the 2020 presidential election next week.Pence argues that the legal issues raised by Gohmert, along with a slate of Arizona Republicans, should be addressed to the House and Senate (if they should be raised at all).Gohmert's lawsuit is a last-gasp attempt by Republicans to persuade Pence to interfere in the declaration of President-elect Joe Biden's victory and flip the election for President...

LEICESTER, United Kingdom – A Catholic Church in the English city of Leicester says it has experienced a “crime wave” after a series of incidents of vandalism. The Dominican-run church is located in the city’s downtown area and has historically been the center of Catholicism in Leicester. On Dec. 29, the windows of the church’s Lady chapel were smashed in the morning, and the suspect – who was later arrested by police – shouted verbal abuse at staff members. “Due to the verbal abuse which occurred when the male perpetrator was challenged, the police were called. To be fair to...

Dismissed for lack of standing.

A new Gallup poll asking Americans to rank the honesty and ethics of different professions placed journalists and members of Congress low amongst groups such as car salesmen. Congressional members actually tied car salespeople with a mere 8 percent rating them highly, with advertising practitioners coming it slightly better at 10 percent. Rounding out low-ranking groups were business executives at 17 percent, lawyers at 21 percent, and journalists at 28 percent. The top two professions should come as no surprise in a normal year, let alone in the midst of a historic pandemic – nurses at 89 percent and doctors...

The paper of record in 2020 shifted dramatically to the most illiberal stance possible on the virus, pushing for full lockdowns, and ignoring or burying any information that might contradict the case for this unprecedented experiment in social and economic control. This article highlights the exceptions. The first shocking sign of the placing of a persistent bias was a podcast with reporter Donald McNeil on February 27. This was the beginning. It was grossly irresponsible. He asserted that half the American public would get this disease and that it would have a case fatality rate of 2.5%, or 25 times...

The Georgia-based attorney has ripped Republicans he said that he thinks are not sufficiently loyal to the president and his attempts to overturn the fraudulent election. Meadows is the latest person to receive Wood’s criticism Attorney Lin Wood is known to be ruthless to the enemy. For days he has been calling President Trump’s chief of staff a traitor to the country. Now he has upped the personal attacks and accused Meadows of having an affair. He even tagged the woman that he claims is having an affair with Meadows in the tweet.

LondonAssembly members have blasted Sadiq Khan's £1.5million BBC-backed 'woke' pro-EU, NHS and BLM firework and drone display over the Thames. Viewers were quick to criticise the taxpayer-funded New Year's Eve event, claiming it was 'ruined by politics' after Thames bridges were turned blue and yellow in a tribute to the EU as the UK finally left the bloc. The display - which the London Mayor cooked up in secret with Scotland Yard to avoid crowds gathering in Greenwich - also saw 300 drones make the shape of a BLM fist and a turtle with Africa on its shell during a...
