On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough was back at his shtick of trampling the truth for purposes of trashing Trump. Echoing an allegation made by Vaughan Hillyard of NBC News, Scarborough falsely claimed that in a social media post, Trump had threatened, upon re-election, to "institutionalize" Jack Smith and other officials at the Department of Justice.But here's the social media post in question, made by Trump at his Truth Social account. Trump Truth Social post about Jack Smith ending up in a mental institution 11-13-23As you'll see, rather than threatening to institutionalize Smith & Co. himself, Trump was predicting that they...

Hamas’s unprovoked terrorist attack on Oct. 7 has endangered not only Israel but the more than two million people who live in the Gaza Strip. Although Hamas won 2006 elections in Gaza and took control of the area from the Palestinian Authority the following year, the group has said that it bears no responsibility for the people living there.

[Catholic Caucus] Pope Francis did all the heavy lifting during the Synod by holding his own 'Uber-Synod'One of the main events during the Synod on Synodality occurred outside of its official proceedings: Pope Francis conducted his own synodal gatherings – an ‘uber synod’ – to push his personal agenda, which undermines the Deposit of the Faith. Pope Francis held a personal meeting with Whoopi Goldberg, who praised the Pontiff for his personal support of the LGBT agenda. Pope Francis also took special time to praise the notorious LGBT activist Sister Jeannine Gramick, who was condemned for her actions by the...

Luke 17:7-10 Friends, today’s Gospel describes the obedience of a faithful servant. Our lives are not about us; they are about the King. We are built not for commanding others but for obedience. In the presence of the awesome lordliness of God—that mind and will whose grandeur we can barely fathom—we bow, we listen, we surrender.The Lord is the King, the one who commands, directs, and oversees, and who, accordingly, demands obedience. For a military tribe such as the ancient Hebrews, this term had, to be sure, an especially powerful resonance. The proper response to a king is obedience. The...

Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley called for an end to anonymity on social media during a television appearance on Nov. 14. “Every person on social media should be verified by their name,” the 2024 presidential hopeful said while fielding questions from voters on Fox News’s “The Faulkner Focus,” hosted by Harris Faulkner. “First of all, it’s a national security threat. When you do that, all of a sudden, people have to stand by what they say. And it gets rid of the Russian bots, the Iranian bots, and the Chinese bots. And then you’re going to get some civility, when...

House lawmakers on Tuesday attended a screening on Capitol Hill of the video assembled by the Israeli government which shows footage of Hamas’ brutal attack on Israel on October 7. Some of the footage was taken from the terrorists’ body cameras. The screening was attended by lawmakers from both parties, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) ...

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), left in tears less than five minutes after entering. “We had a large group...

DETROIT (AP) — A Michigan judge ruled Tuesday that former President Donald Trump will remain on the state’s primary ballot, dealing a blow to the effort to stop Trump’s candidacy with a Civil War-era Constitutional clause. It marks the second time in a week that a state court declined to remove Trump from a primary ballot under the insurrection provision of the 14th Amendment. In Michigan, Court of Claims Judge James Redford rejected arguments that Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol meant the court had to declare him ineligible for the presidency. Redford wrote...

Entrepreneurs Saira Rao and Regina Jackson were in-demand after the murder of George Floyd with projects like 'Deconstructing Karen.' Now they say their comments in support of Palestinians since Oct. 7 have lost them their representation. CAA has dropped a pair of female BIPOC entrepreneurs who’ve gained notoriety in recent years for holding “anti-racist” dinner parties for an affluent white women audience, according to one of the founders who says they offended their agent with their vocal support for Palestine following Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre and Israel’s subsequent invasion of Gaza. On Nov. 13 Saira Rao told her followers on...

The Homeland Security Department designated the march a “level 1” security event, the highest classification in its system and one usually used for the Super Bowl and other major events, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. The designation means the event required substantial law enforcement assistance from federal agencies, the officials said.A succession of speakers took the stage, overlooking a sea of Israeli and U.S. flags, to denounce Hamas' bloody incursion Oct. 7 and what the speakers said was a virulent spread of antisemitism internationally, “an embarrassment to all civilized people and nations,” in the words of Israeli...

A little more than six weeks after Congress scrambled at the last minute to keep the federal government functioning, the country is again on the precipice of a shutdown.It’s “Groundhog Day” Washington-style, but it’s anything but funny. The current crisis likely will be solved the way the last one was, by Democrats in the House coming to the rescue of a Republican speaker who faces opposition from extreme elements within his own party.

Young people tearing down posters of Israeli hostages and launching waves of anti-Israel demonstrations say they’re being fueled by thousands of pro-Palestinian videos, mainly on TikTok and Instagram. Ripping down posters and lavishing praise on those who do has become a trend ever since Hamas terrorists took 240 Israelis hostage during their Oct. 7 terror assault on Israel.

The #MeToo movement was supposed to be a turning point for creating greater awareness in the vital campaign against sexual abuse and harassment, and rape culture. It was supposed to be a new dawn where women’s experiences were believed and there were no more excuses for the conduct of those who used sex as a weapon. Unfortunately, as with so many areas and arenas, it is clear that Jews are not welcome in the #MeToo movement either, or at least not as full and equal partners. The brutal and vicious massacre of more than 1,400 women, men and children on...

Have you ever dreamed of traveling through time, like characters do in science fiction movies? For centuries, the concept of time travel has captivated people’s imaginations. Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time, just like you move between different places. In movies, you might have seen characters using special machines, magical devices or even hopping into a futuristic car to travel backward or forward in time. But is this just a fun idea for movies, or could it really happen? The question of whether time is reversible remains one of the biggest unresolved questions in...

Stellantis is offering to buy out thousands of its American white-collar employees as a result of the company’s transition to electric vehicles (EVs) — a move spurred by tax credits from President Joe Biden’s administration.

The guys at Squawk Box really try (at 8:45 minute mark forward) to trip up Mike and they fail miserably. This video (particularly beyond 8:45) shows what we can expect from Mike Johnson in defending Trump. He is a winner.Check out comments below the video BTW. Many supportive comments about Mike.Click here for Video at 8:45 mark. This is the point at which CNBC anchors start to try to pin Mike down about Trump, including questions about Trump's so-called divisiveness, J6, and even the Trump indictments (which Johnson calls pure political "lawfare"). Johnson handles these questions with his usual easy...

Republicans elected Mike Johnson from Louisiana as House Speaker, then were surprised when Johnson agreed with big spending Senators McConnell and Schumer on Biden’s mega spendathon. Also, several Republicans voted with Democrats NOT to impeach Cuba Pete (Mayorkas) for allowing 8 million illegals to cross the southern border. Bottom line: the Biden Administration and Congress are closely held subsidiaries of the elite 1% and US large corporations. The middle class be damned! But we will get fooled again in every election. Since Biden’s inaugration in January 2021, the purchasing power of the US dollar is down a staggering -15%. Yes,...
