Chuck Schumer just confirmed another lifelong federal judge by a vote of 50-49 because Republican Senator Mike Braun did not show up to vote. This judge will now forever serve on the D.C. court. Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona is voting with the Republicans to block the nomination, and Kamala Harris is out of town and can't cast the tie-breaking vote. Yet we still can't get Republicans to stand up and fight. ... Senator Mike Braun knows exactly what he’s doing with his absence. He’s voting as a Democrat. ... So why is RINO Braun in the Republican party since...

Kari Lake, who ran for senator in the 2024 election and governor of Arizona in the 2022 election, recently visited President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. This led to speculation that she may get a position in Trump’s administration after leftists stole the two elections from her.

The company behind the project cancelled it and the steel that was in ground has been removed, but it’s on the president-elect’s energy to-do list. Donald Trump is looking to revive the Keystone XL oil pipeline on his first day back in the White House, according to three people familiar with the president-elect’s plan, even though no companies are trying to build it anymore. Trump believes declaring the 1,200-mile Canada-to-Nebraska crude project back on the table would drive the pro-oil message he delivered in his campaign, said people involved in the transition team discussions about the idea. Trump also wants...

Democrats are fighting the Senate election results in Pennsylvania, where GOP Senate candidate Dave McCormick has been declared the winner over Sen. Bob Casey, leading some to turn the “election denier” term on them. Since the 2020 presidential election, President-elect Donald Trump and other Republicans have raised concerns about election irregularities and are often called slurred as “election deniers” by Democrats and the media. However, Democrats in Pennsylvania are now fighting the results of the Senate race that the Republican candidate has won. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) and Casey's campaign have sued 10 county boards of elections, demanding...

Last week we wrote about the central role Obama played in establishing the Russiagate Hoax. This week we’re going to take a closer look at why Obama was so involved. What drove him to push a hoax that had been ostensibly put into place by the Clinton campaign? Many are aware of Biden’s entanglements in Ukraine but most are unaware of Obama’s implicit involvement. For some time now it's been our working theory that Russiagate originated, at least in part, as the result of what Joe Biden was doing in Ukraine - and as a result of Obama’s knowledge of...

The Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riots and then was promoted has a lengthy internal affairs and disciplinary record that includes firearm-related incidents, a sweeping congressional investigation has found. The issues in Captain Michael Byrd's background included a failed shotgun qualification test, a failed FBI background check for a weapon's purchase, a 33-day suspension for a lost weapon and referral to Maryland state prosecutors for firing his gun at a stolen car fleeing his neighborhood, according to congressional and police documents obtained by Just the News. Byrd’s record was uncovered during a larger...

'We would like to thank our colleagues who had the courage to speak up to widen our lens of inclusivity' A Minnesota hospital issued a profuse apology to staff after failing to abide by its “values of respect and justice” — by giving out free Chick-fil-A. Essentia Health in Duluth wrote to staff last Tuesday after staff clucked about the free sandwiches available in the St. Mary’s Medical Center’s atrium earlier that day. “We have received feedback from some colleagues who were concerned or offended by this occurrence, and we value colleagues feeling comfortable expressing their reservations,” Tammy Kritzer, senior...

Moscovium and nihonium have been identified as more reactive than flerovium, demonstrating the significance of relativistic effects in superheavy elements. Research on moscovium and nihonium shows they are more reactive than flerovium and subject to notable relativistic effects, broadening our understanding of superheavy elements and their potential uses. An international team led by scientists from GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz has successfully determined the chemical properties of the artificially produced superheavy elements moscovium and nihonium (elements 115 and 113). Moscovium is now the heaviest element ever to be chemically studied. Their research, published...

A survivor of the 1974 Birmingham pub bombings said she still carries the psychological scars of the atrocity 50 years on. Twenty-one people died in The Mulberry Bush and the Tavern in the Town after a vague IRA warning gave inadequate time to evacuate. Another 220 people were injured. Robyn Tighe, who had just turned 19 when she was caught up in the blasts, told a new BBC documentary: "I’m a survivor with scars." Memorial services are being held in Birmingham on Thursday to mark the anniversary of the bombings, for which no-one has been held responsible. Although six men...

Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have moved to rural England, put their Montecito estate on the market and plan to never return to the United States, telling friends the election of Donald Trump was their primary motivation, a person close to the former TV host told TheWrap. Though the incoming Republican administration was the cited catalyst, a fresh start couldn’t hurt: DeGeneres has been open about being “kicked out of show business” after reports of toxic workplace behavior at the syndicated “Ellen” show in 2022. DeGeneres has already moved to the Cotswolds, a rural area in south-central England,...

The House of Representatives is becoming more of an insane asylum every day, and Rep. Jasmine Crockett is the perfect example of that. During a hearing on Wednesday, the Texas congresswoman went nuts, screaming about "oppression" and the "white man." Some might call that racist. Democrats call that normal, as depraved as it is. Crockett lost her mind while debating the "Dismantle DEI Act," which seeks to eliminate DEI initiatives within the federal government. The incoming Trump administration has already identified it as a priority.CROCKETT: You can then misuse words like oppression. There has been no oppression for the white...

The Senate shot down three proposals brought forward by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and other Democrat senators to block the sale of artillery and other weapons to Israel. In an 18 to 79 vote, the Senate rejected S.J.Res.111. The resolution prohibited the sale of: thirty-two thousand seven hundred thirty-nine (32,739) 120mm tank cartridges, consisting of 120mm M1147 High Explosive Multi-Purpose with Tracer (HEMP-T) cartridges and/or 120mm M830A1 High Explosive Multi-Purpose Anti-Tank (MPAT) with Tracer cartridges.

There is an old saw that, in America, every great cause begins as a movement and eventually degenerates into a racket. This is certainly true of the past decade’s most fashionable cause: “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” What might have begun as a social movement has now become a business—and not just in the United States. According to McKinsey & Company, spending on “DEI-related efforts” across the globe totaled $7.5 billion in 2020. If trends continue, that figure will exceed $15 billion by 2026. And, in another American tradition, government contractors have turned a profit on this fad. While it’s hard...

In a significant escalation of the ongoing war, Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the RS-26 "Rubezh," at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro. The attack, carried out from Astrakhan in southern Russia at 5 a.m. local time, marks the first known use of an ICBM in the conflict, signalling a chilling warning to NATO and Ukraine alike. The RS-26 "Rubezh" is a mobile-ground ballistic missile system derived from the RS-24 "Yars," itself a modernized version of the older Soviet Topol-M system. First tested in 2012, the RS-26 is essentially a shorter version of the RS-24 with one fewer stage....

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem (11/21/24)[Prayer]Names and Titles of God the Holy Spirit (Gift that Can’t Be Bought) Acts 8:14-2014 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. 18 And...

Nov 20, 2024. Bernie Sanders, who pushed the anti-Israel bill to block arms sale, to MSNBC, among his tirade, he complained about "bombing schools." Is Sanders saying that schools are functioning in Gaza at the war? Or is he denying that Hamas / PIJ uses schools? It's just a pallyood type to make a false link between targeting terrorists and kids.
