Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va) are working on a motion of censure against former President Donald Trump. The purpose of this motion is to declare Trump guilty of certain crimes and punish him by disqualifying him from ever holding another public office. Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del), a self-proclaimed "big fan" of the concept, called the scheme "ingenious. Unlike an impeachment trial the named criminal has no right to appear or present evidence on his own behalf. Neither is there a two-thirds requirement for conviction. A simple majority in both the House and Senate would be enough...

Vanity with a purpose. Andrew Wilkow is great. Erick Erickson is a douche! Met Andrew in 2009 at the tea party banquet in D.C. ...when we was all Freepin' at the Freeper's ball. Andrew should be on the radar. Stein is ok.

It’s bad enough that he’s already ducking the difficult questions and that his Press Sec is fumbling her way through her answers. (Are going to ‘circle back’ yet again Psaki?) But it somehow makes it worse when you’re caught fumbling your way through an open book test and you knew the questions in advance. Yes, that said ‘questions in advance’. When even the far-left DailyBeast is critical of how the Democrats are running this clown show, you know it’s gotta be pretty bad.

It’s done! The New World Order is finally on the agenda for open action. America will now have what essentially will be a dictatorship of leftist ideology that points to a one-world government. That is the dream of many in our United States and around the world. In the results of Congressional decisions on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, we can see that more likely than not, the “falling away” from lawfulness which 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 speaks of will follow in a short time. The appointments Biden has named for cabinet posts and administration positions tell us much of what to...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene fired back at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell after he stated her embrace of “loony lies and conspiracy theories” is a “cancer for the Republican Party.” Greene (R-GA) has faced a growing number of critics from within the Republican Party over controversial words and actions she engaged in prior to becoming a congresswoman. CNN reported that in 2019 Greene “liked” controversial comments on social media, including one that said “a bullet to the head would be quicker” in a discussion to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

Second only to his fixation on "climate change" is President Biden's focus on "systemic racism." In addition to reinstating mandatory race theory training for federal employees, Biden proposes spending even more money we don't have to fix a problem beyond the government's reach. As with original sin, curing racism is best solved internally. It is a matter of the heart. If racism is systemic, meaning it is embedded in white people, how is it possible to eliminate it? Do those on the receiving end of discrimination have a role to play? This is a question Democrats never address. If spending...

California voters were almost evenly split when asked whether Newsom has done a good or bad job as governor, a precipitous drop from September when two-thirds of those polled gave him high marks. The poll also found that just 31% of those surveyed thought that Newsom and other state government leaders have done an excellent or good job handing the pandemic, while 23% said they have done a fair job and 43% called it a poor job. Less than half of California voters — 46% — approved of Newsom’s job performance, a dramatic slide for a governor who was elected...

The hit song, called “Fake Woke”, reached Number One across all genres on Saturday despite MacDonald not having a record label, manager, or distribution network.

Liberal CNN host Fareed Zakaria cornered Climate Envoy John Kerry on the Biden administration’s executive orders that killed thousands of U.S. jobs. Zakaria took the time to throw Kerry at least one curveball in an interview on the Jan. 31 edition of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS. Zakaria pointed out how Biden’s executive orders on climate change have destroyed jobs: “You talk about [the transition away from fossil fuels] being exciting and the marketplace telling people to do this.” He continued: “But right now there are areas where President Biden’s actions will put people out of work. Canceling the Keystone pipeline....

The de-platforming of President of the United States from its digital communications infrastructure marked a dark inflection point in our nation’s history. Indeed, the rulers of the corrupt Globalist American Empire (GAE) have consolidated power to such a degree that they have little need left for even the pretense that the United States is a free country. That America’s corrupt ruling class are not even bothering to pretend like America is a free society anymore ... .... As surprising as it may sound, digital surveillance and speech control in the United States already show many similarities to what one finds...

A Wisconsin man previously accused of firing a shot into the air moments before then-17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse allegedly gunned down three protesters in Kenosha, killing two of them over the summer, was slapped with a new felony arson charge Tuesday after prosecutors say he also lit a dumpster on fire during violent demonstrations earlier that night. Joshua Ziminski, 35, of Racine, was charged Tuesday with one count of arson, a felony, as well as two misdemeanor offenses of disorderly conduct with a dangerous weapon and obstructing an officer, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

A new, eyebrow-raising report suggests the White House communications team has attempted to screen questions for press secretary Jen Psaki in advance of daily briefings, as media watchdogs caution that the Biden team will have to walk a fine line given the way reporters treated President Trump's spokespeople. Spectator USA editor Amber Athey, who used to be a White House correspondent for The Daily Caller, never experienced anything resembling what Biden’s communications staff has been accused of. "The Trump administration certainly never asked me for questions in advance and I suspect there would have been universal outrage from reporters if...

Transcending even the importance of the very good question, “Where is Hunter?” is today’s reemergence of the following far more significant question that for many Americans has now lingered for much too long: “Where the hell is Durham?” For those who understandably may have forgotten, Durham is the federal prosecutor whose only available photo appears to be the one infrequently shown on the evening news bearing a facial expression that resembles the scowl of a pissed-off gopher. But, if this isn’t enough to jog your memory, he’s the guy who was appointed, now several years ago, by the recently departed...

American politics used to be stuck in the 1930s, with the Republicans always sure that a military buildup was necessitated by the ascendancy of some new Hitler in some distant land and the Democrats always convinced that we are on the verge — or in the midst — of a New Great Depression that can be countered only by a New New Deal. We haven’t quite got out of the 1930s yet — see, e.g., the “Green New Deal” — but perhaps it is time to look around for some other points of comparison.

It’s common knowledge for anyone paying attention this past year that Joe Biden is suffering from mid-to-late stage dementia. This explains why Democrats hid Joe in the basement all year while they schemed on ways to manufacture votes. It is also common knowledge that Jill Biden, his wife of over 40 years of marriage, is his constant companion and personal aide to help Joe out during times of confusion. This is typical with those spouses who are married to dementia patients. But is Jill Biden more than her husband’s handler? A Missouri pharmacist sent us this keen observation. I am...

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has suggested that England will not return to the tiers system at the end of its third lockdown because the infectious nature of the new coronavirus strain renders the system redundant, and over reported concerns of the economic recovery of some areas of the country. “It may be that a national approach, going down the tiers in a national way, might be better this time round, given that the disease is behaving much more nationally,” said Prime Minister Johnson said during a visit of a vaccination centre in Batley, West Yorkshire, on Monday.

The retailer pledged to follow up with its meat production partners and urged others with the same issue to contact their local store 'If a customer is able to return a fresh produce they are not happy with, we'll refund and replace it,' he said. This is not the first time Woolworths customers complained about meat appearing to be stuck together. Another woman recently took to social media to complain that her Woolworths 'eye fillets' were falling apart. 'So when did Woolworths start using meat glue to make this atrocity of an 'eye fillet' steak?' she wrote in a Facebook...

To get a proper understanding of the mindset that Jesus was in as He presented the parable of the ten virgins, one must go back to Matthew chapter 23, where he said,"The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses; therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them. They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger." Matthew 23:2-4Jesus was chastising the...

This past weekend, several social media accounts started to make alarming announcements. Products they sold — some of which they had sold for months — were suddenly rated “not approved” on Instagram and Facebook, prohibiting their sale. The common denominator? No, not something political. They were all Catholic. One was an author, Carrie Gress, whose book “The Anti-Mary Exposed: Rescuing the Culture from Toxic Femininity” was removed. The book on Catholicism and culture is not new, though it was published fairly recently in 2019. According to the screenshots she shared, she was alerted that the item no longer follows the...
