Two Republican senators — Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Mitt Romney of Utah — got into a confrontation on the Senate floor Saturday after Romney voted with Democrats to allow witnesses in the impeachment trial of former President Trump. Reporters sitting in the Senate gallery said they saw a “visibly upset” Johnson turn to Romney and point at him after the vote. The two men then got into a back-and-forth, with Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) trying to play referee. Voices were raised, and at one point Johnson was overheard saying he blamed Romney. Johnson is a staunch Trump ally who...

I’ve always been a proponent of supporting the Republican candidate in a general over any Democrat, but this was the last straw. Every single Republican in the House or Senate who voted for impeachment or to convict today must be defeated, preferably by their primary opponent or, failing that, the official Democrat in November. They must be made to learn that our votes aren’t automatic and that we can cast unpopular votes too. We simply cannot stand by and watch Democrats openly steal an election and then illegally impeach a president for a riot which he in no way instigated...

When it has come to New York’s COVID-19 response, no state has been better…… at killing its citizens. In the past few days since it has been revealed that New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo lied and withheld data which likely led to the deaths of thousands of his citizens, the media has continued to lock horns with Florida’s Ron DeSantis, somehow defying data that New York’s response is the worst in the nation. Obviously, you can expect the sycophantic left to do that. That comes as no surprise. When offered an apples-to-a**holes comparison, they will inevitably choose the a-holes. What...

WASHINGTON (AP) — White House deputy press secretary T.J. Ducklo has resigned, the day after he was suspended for issuing a sexist and profane threat to a journalist seeking to cover his relationship with another reporter.

How should Christians respond when one of their most renowned leaders is revealed to have led a disturbing double life? It is a question that many followers of Christ have wrestled with since the inception of the Christian church, and it is one that I am struggling with after learning of the revelations regarding Ravi Zacharias, a world-renowned author, speaker, and leading voice on apologetics.Every weekend I used to listen to episodes of “Let My People Think” and “Just A Thought,” which featured the lectures, sermons, and teachings of Ravi Zacharias. His recordings were some of my favorites as a...

At this point, it seems that President Donald Trump is like the Phoenix, always rising from the ashes, and prevailing despite whatever is thrown at him by the Democrats. Has there ever been a president who has faced such opposition from their political opponents? The answer would have to be no, with the historic levels of vitriol, underhanded actions and downright evil the Democrats have leveled at him for the sin of defeating their chosen candidate and wresting the power out of their hands for four years. Here are the losers. Instead of helping Americans suffering from COVID and from...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Saturday unleashed blistering criticism of former President Trump, blaming him for sparking the attack on the Capitol while also explaining why he didn't vote for a conviction. McConnell also suggested that Trump could face criminal prosecution for his actions. "There's no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it. The people that stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president," McConnell said. "And having that belief was a foreseeable consequence of the growing...

I love America, I support the troops, and I want sports teams to stop playing the national anthem before every game. It's not an act of genuine patriotism, it's a ritual of joyless conformity. End the obligatory performances and shame-enforced head-bowing. For the love of America, make the "Star Spangled Banner" mean something again.

Explanation: Get out your red/blue glasses and float next to asteroid 433 Eros. Orbiting the Sun once every 1.8 years, the near-Earth asteroid is named for the Greek god of love. Still, its shape more closely resembles a lumpy potato than a heart. Eros is a diminutive 40 x 14 x 14 kilometer world of undulating horizons, craters, boulders and valleys. Its unsettling scale and unromantic shape are emphasized in this mosaic of images from the NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft processed to yield a stereo anaglyphic view. Along with dramatic chiaroscuro, NEAR Shoemaker's 3-D imaging provided important measurements of the asteroid's...

The just-completed impeachment trial of former President Donald J. Trump in the U.S. Senate provided cover for the administration to move forward with plans to implement President Joe Biden’s open border policies. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced plans on Thursday to address the issue of migrants with active asylum claims, previously ordered to remain in Mexico under the “Migrant Protection Protocols” (MPP) program implemented during the Trump administration. As part of the plan, an estimated 25,000 migrants believed to still be in Mexico under MPP will be allowed to enter through three designated sites across the southern border....

White House doesn't list Israel as American allyPresident Joe Biden is the first American leader in 40 years not to contact Israel’s leaders as one of his first actions in the White House, setting up what could be four years of chilly relations between America and its top Middle East ally.Biden has already phoned multiple world leaders, including Russian president Vladimir Putin and Chinese president Xi Jinping, but during his 23 days in office has yet to speak with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu—making Biden the first president in modern history to punt on bolstering U.S.-Israel relations during his initial...

Pelosi: "When we recruit candidates to run for office or we see them self-recruiting, we always say, and they say, 'well, I could be president of my university or I could be the head of my hospital department, or this or that and I'd have to think about whether I'd run for congress,' I would say, 'we don't want anybody without options'. That's why we're looking to you to run. Because you have options. That shouldn't be a reason for you not to run. "But what we saw in that Senate today, was a cowardly group of Republicans, who apparently...
