Sen. Marco Rubio said Sunday that “vice presidents can’t simply decide not to certify” the result of an election, distancing himself from the repeated claims of former President Donald Trump. Mr. Trump has insisted that former Vice President Mike Pence could have changed the results of the 2020 election. “I just don’t think a vice president has that power,” Mr. Rubio said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “If President Trump runs for reelection, I believe he would defeat Joe Biden — and I don’t want Kamala Harris to have the power as vice president to overturn that election,” he said....

Remember less than a year ago when CNN's Chris Cillizza denounced "gerrymandering" as a heinous attempt by Republicans to draw "outlandish legislative and congressional districts for purely political reasons?" Well, suddenly such an act is a good thing. How did that happen? Well, because Democrats are now the ones drawing the outlandish legislative and congressional districts for purely political reasons.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama welcomes visitors at the “First White House of the Confederacy,” a historic home next to the state Capitol where Confederate President Jefferson Davis lived with his family in the early months of the Civil War. The museum managed by the state’s Department of Finance says it hosts nearly 100,000 people a year, many of them school children on field trips to see such things as the “relic room” where Davis’ slippers and pocket watch are preserved. Near the gift shop, a framed article describes Davis as an American patriot who accomplished “one of the most amazing...

Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, a former Phoenix reporter and news anchor, laid down a challenge to Arizonans and to President Joe Biden during an interview broadcast on Friday.

I won’t ask permission to build the wall,” Lake noted in a tweet containing a video clip segment of her interview in...

SWAN SONG: The Heavens Declare the Glory of GodPsalm 19:1-4(3)1. To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David: 2. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork: 3. Day to day utters speech, and night to night expresses knowledge: 4. There is no speech nor are there any words; their voice is not heard:The swan song is a metaphorical phrase for a final gesture, effort, or performance given just before death or retirement. >>> In Greek mythology, the swan was a bird consecrated to Apollo, and it was therefore considered a symbol of harmony and...

Olympic chiefs have denied they were responsible for allowing Russian President Vladimir Putin to flounce around the Olympic opening ceremony without a mask. Putin, it was revealed, was invited by the Chinese Government rather than Olympic chiefs and was not on their guest list.

Chinese Olympics fans erupted on social media, furious that California-born skater Zhu Yi defected to China for the games but finished in a disastrous dead last place during her debut for Team China. Yi, who gave up her U.S. citizenship to become a Chinese citizen so she could compete for the communist government’s genocide Olympics, finished with the lowest score for the entire event in Beijing on Saturday, the Daily Mail reported. The 19-year-old scored a lowly 47.04 after she fell to the ice on her first combination triple flip-triple toe-loop jump and then crashed into the wall. Yi also...

The Criminal Justice and Safety Committee passed House Bill 1355 (HB 1355) by a vote of 12 to 5 that would require law enforcement agencies to work in conjunction with U.S. Immigration and Border Patrol while also preventing local city governments and political groups from contracting with groups that house, assist, or transport illegal immigrants. The proposal comes directly from Gov. Ron DeSantis after he showed documented proof of the federal government flying illegal immigrants to Jacksonville International Airport on overnight flights. DeSantis charged that the Biden administration coordinated over 70 overnight flights that brought immigrants that entered the country...

Judge Mark Ward, while handing down her prison sentence, accused her of making false statements to the probation department to register to vote. “You tricked the...

As the standoff between Russia and the United States continues, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan warned of a "very distinct" possibility Russia will attack Ukraine at "any time now." "We believe that there is a very distinct possibility that Vladimir Putin will order an attack on Ukraine. It could take a number of different forms. It could happen as soon as tomorrow or it could take some weeks yet," Sullivan said in an interview with ABC "This Week" Co-Anchor Martha Raddatz on Sunday. "[Putin] has put himself in a position with military deployments, to be able to act...

On Friday, Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon apologized for her post mocking the huge funeral of an NYPD officer, writing, “I deeply regret the meme I recently shared on Twitter that included a photo of Officer Jason Rivera’s funeral.” “I reacted quickly to the picture without connecting it to a police funeral and I realize now how insensitive and deeply disrespectful it was to make that point at that time,” she added. “’I sincerely apologize to the family of Officers Rivera and Mora for causing additional pain during their time of grieving.” On Tuesday, Sarandon sparked rage on social media after...

In the intensifying great power contest between the United States and genocidal Communist China, it is imperative to devise a strategy for victory, not one for subservience and appeasement. As Ronald Reagan proclaimed as he ended the myth of détente and commenced the drive for an irenic victory over the USSR’s evil empire: “We win, they lose.” Ultimately, through our nation and our allies’ perspicacious strategic and morally courageous policies, we won and the Soviets lost. (And all of this without so much as a “snowflake” of the “nuclear winter” the accommodating, appeasing domestic Left had virtually guaranteed would occur...

Former President Trump's criticism of efforts to change an arcane election law are adding new urgency — and uncertainty — into bipartisan negotiations in the Senate. Trump isn’t the only potential hurdle looming on the horizon for hopes of a deal on changing the Electoral Count Act, a 135-year-old law that lays out how the Electoral College results are counted. In addition to the bipartisan talks, a group of Democrats unveiled a “discussion draft” of their own proposal and senators are already mulling potential things they would want to add into any deal. But Trump’s decision to revive his criticism...

Political prisoner Jake Lang is serving time in Washington DC for his actions on Jan. 6. He has been imprisoned with no rights for over a year now. Islamic terrorists who murdered Americans have more rights than Jake Lang. The DC elites and corrupt fake news media agree with this. Jake Lang was trampled when Capitol Police pushed Trump supporters down the stairs outside the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Jake was buried under several people when the Capitol police started pushing protesters down the stairs. He was next to Rosanne Boyland who was killed by police when they...

Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Luke 5:1-11 Friends, today’s Gospel gives us the story of the miraculous draught of fishes. In many ways, the whole of the spiritual life can be read off of this piece. Without being invited, Jesus simply gets into the fisherman’s boat. This is to insinuate himself in the most direct way into Simon’s life. And without further ado, he begins to give orders, first asking Simon to put out from the shore and then to go out into the deep. This represents the invasion of grace. The single most important decision that you will ever...

Former President Donald Trump’s said that if he wins the presidency again, his first executive action would be to restart construction of the wall on the southern U.S. border. The president told Epoch TV’s “Kash’s Corner” on Jan. 31 that completing the wall has a significance that extends beyond domestic policy because it would project an image of strength to China’s Xi Jinping and other world leaders.“First of all, the wall, even for him,” Trump said referring to Xi. “You know why? Because when he sees millions of people pouring into our country, he loses respect for our country.” The...
