WASHINGTON (AP) — Part political performance, part stall tactic, Republican leader Kevin McCarthy unleashed a long, rambling and vitriolic speech overnight, seizing control of the House floor and preempting passage of President Joe Biden’s big domestic policy bill. Sneering with disdain one minute, spilling sarcasm the next, McCarthy carried on for more than eight hours as Thursday night became Friday morning. He spewed a tirade of grievances that reached far beyond Biden’s legislative package, morphing into a monologue of complaints over what’s wrong with the country and the Democrats who control Washington. Far from the “happy conservative” he claimed to...

The legislation will have a negative impact on the labor supply and send high prices soaring even higher.President Joe Biden has united the American people—in disapproving of his performance, with 70 percent of Americans disliking the direction the economy is going and over 6 in 10 blaming him for it. The impact of inflation on people's pocketbooks and concerns over the expanding role of government are important in explaining those low approval numbers. A good time to change course is now. A recent Washington Post-ABC poll asked, "How concerned are you, if at all, that Biden will do too much...

A customer who was accused of throwing hot soup in a restaurant manager's face was arrested and charged with assault on Wednesday. Amanda Martinez, 31, was booked into the Bell County Jail after a warrant was issued for her arrest.

Broland, 24, was doused in the soup after Martinez angrily confronted her, claiming...

An election whistleblower in Delaware County, Pennsylvania released video evidence of the destruction of election data, documents, and equipment by election officials in the 2020 presidential election on Wednesday night. The videos show election officials admitting to each other that their actions were illegal, even “a felony.” But the officials decided to destroy the election evidence anyway. In one video James Allen, the Director of Elections Operations is seen in a backroom telling officials to destroy evidence knowing it was a felony. in another video, Tom Gallager, a lawyer for Delaware County, is seen destroying election tapes — a felony.

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In” that if you were in a setting where you do not know the vaccine status of people, “then you should be wearing a mask.” [cut] Fauci said, “Well, the situation is — and let’s just take a scenario, you have a family setting. You’re vaccinated. Your family members are vaccinated, and even if the children who are yet too young to get vaccinated, go have an enjoyable Thanksgiving in your home. You don’t need to wear a mask.” He continued, “The situation is...

What's wrong with the economy? Nobody seems quite sure, but it's clear that the Biden administration's $1.9 trillion stimulus package passed in March, on top of the $900 billion approved in December, the last full month of the Trump administration, has not had the intended results. Yes, the economy has grown, and so have wages. But the assurances of resident Joe Biden, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell that inflation is just "transitory" grow less and less credible. Warnings of this came not just from Republicans but from impeccably credentialed Democrats -- from former Treasury Secretary...

The man known as "jump kick man" during the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse is 39-year-old Maurice Freeland of Wisconsin, defense attorneys revealed to Fox News Thursday. A video played at trial appears to show Freeland running at Rittenhouse and kicking him shortly after the teenager shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum. Rittenhouse testified at trial that he fired at Freeland in self-defense but missed. "I thought if I were to be knocked out, he would have stomped my face in if I didn't fire," Rittenhouse told the jury. Prosecutors argued during the trial that the men who confronted Rittenhouse were trying...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemJeremiah 7False Religion Worthless 7 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Stand at the gate of the Lord’s house and there proclaim this message: “‘Hear the word of the Lord, all you people of Judah who come through these gates to worship the Lord. 3 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Reform your ways and your actions, and I will let you live in this place. 4 Do not trust in deceptive words and say, “This is the temple of the Lord, the temple...

WASHINGTON, Monday, Nov. 18. THE BATTLE OF PIKETON NOT A HOAX. A dispatch from Cincinnati states that the rereported battle at Piketon was a hoax. If a hoax, it was one which resulted in the capture of twenty-seven hundred prisoners. The misapprehension arose from the fact of two battles having been fought. On the first day, the main battle was fought, in which four hundred were killed and twenty-seven hundred taken prisoner. The following day, however, the rebels rallied, and in the skirmish that ensued they lost between thirty and forty men. That we have not earlier received full intelligence...

In judging the actions of Kyle Rittenhouse, set aside for the moment Wisconsin law under which he is being tried, and consider the natural law, the moral law, the higher law written on the human heart. In terms of values demonstrated and the deeds done that night that Rittenhouse shot the three men who attacked him, who was on the righteous side? Consider what Rittenhouse did that night of Aug. 25, 2020, and why. Watching on television the nightly riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, a town 20 miles from his home in Antioch, Illinois, that he knew well, Rittenhouse decided to...

Links will be added as they become available . . . It has been reported that one of the defense attorney's believes this will end up a 6-6 deadlock.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will travel to Walter Reed Medical Center Friday morning for a routine physical exam, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a tweet. The exam comes on the eve of Biden’s birthday Saturday when he’ll turn 79 years old.

MSNBC host Joy Reid is the only minority host on her network from noon to midnight, so it's only natural she would be most expected to lecture on the evils of whiteness, especially white maleness. It can even happen on her social media accounts. On Nov. 16, Reid took to TikTok to compare the Kyle Rittenhouse trial to the confirmation hearings of Brett Kavanaugh three years ago. "This Kyle Rittenhouse trial. It reminded a lot of people of something -- something, can't remember what it was," she said. "Oh. The Brett Kavanaugh hearings, in which Brett Kavanaugh, who had been...

So much for Biden’s claim that his signature Build Back Better legislation won’t cost a cent. The Congressional Budget Office scored the bill and showed an increase in the Federal deficit of $791,618 MILLION over the next five years. Here is the CBO’s spreadsheet. From The Wall Street Journal: “The sprawling bill calls for creating a universal prekindergarten program, capping child-care costs for many families, negotiating lower prescription drug prices and expanding tax credits for reducing carbon emissions, among other programs. In addition to expanding tax enforcement efforts at the Internal Revenue Service, the legislation raises taxes on some corporations...

When I hear Senator Kamala Harris speak, I am emotionally turned off, and I couldn't figure out why. But then the light bulb went off. The ability to be attractive is a tool that humans have used for as long as they have walked upright and sought to gain power, control, and influence. In social groups, when one is attractive, things can come much easier than for one deemed otherwise. Largely subjective, the ways people exhibit attractiveness are as different as we are all. There are, however, some broad styles of allure that can be identified, such as seductiveness, which...

Former President Donald Trump endorsed embattled Rep. Paul Gosar on Thursday, a day after the House censured the Arizona Republican for posting a cartoon image of himself killing a Democrat. “Congressman Paul Gosar has been a loyal supporter of our America First agenda, and even more importantly, the USA,” Mr. Trump said. Mr. Trump described the Congressman as “highly respected in Arizona, strong on Crime, Borders, our Military, and our Veterans. He continually fights for Lower Taxes, Less Regulations, and our great, but under siege, Second Amendment.” He gave Mr. Gosar his “complete and total” endorsement.

It is no secret that the costs of prescription drugs are very high in the United States. Studies from Harvard Medical School indicate that one in four American patients have foregone a prescription because the cost was too high. With the costs of everything else beginning to rise due to the pandemic, inflation, and the global supply chain crisis, it is even more possible that more Americans will have to choose between treating their illnesses and affording basic necessities. This is unacceptable. Access to medicine and prescriptions is a problem that touches many families in the United States. Naturally, lawmakers...
