Wednesday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) reacted to heat-of-the-moment comments reportedly made by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) that blamed him and his colleague Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), in part, for the January 6, 2021 Capitol Hill riot. Gaetz warned if House Republicans accepted Democrats’ narratives and reacted as Democrats, it would be a win for Democrats even if the GOP takes power in Congress later this year.

What was Obama’s top aide Valerie Jarrett thinking when she got dressed this morning? Was she feeling randy? Apparent so – that’s the only reason we can figure as to why Valerie Jarrett would dress exactly like Austin Powers for her appearance on CBS This Morning.

A Washington couple were left stunned after their server handed them the bill for their family's dinner - and they saw they had been given a $4 discount for their 'Well Behaved Kids'. Laura King and her husband took their three children, aged two, three and eight, to an Italian restaurant in Poulsbo to enjoy an early-evening meal last Friday. As they tucked into their feast of pizza, pasta and mushroom ragu, the family discussed planets, racecars, zebra jokes, and commented on the warm decor of the restaurant, Mrs King said. 'They were just being their normal selves,' she told...

A mother in Texas is livid: not that her 15-year-old daughter was paddled at school for cheating on a test — both mom and daughter actually approved the punishment — but that she was spanked by a male vice principal. Taylor Santos, 15, a sophomore at Springtown High School Texas,  allegedly let another student copy her work and was given a two-days of in-school suspension. After one day of missing classes, Santos asked if she could get a paddling instead of missing a second day; she called her mother and got approval for the change. But her mother, Anna Jorgensen, is...

Today's wimp Christians told to "SHUT UP AND TAKE IT!" Heard something galactically outrageous on the radio on the way into the office this morning. Some Christian station had a brief public service message, apparently it's a daily blurb about Christians and the law. This one started out talking about why Christians need to "foster good relationships" with local, state and federal government. And do you know why it was saying this? Because, the announcer said, ever since this past summer's Kelo decision in the Supreme Court, governments can seize private property - including land that church buildings sit on...

I know something......but I'm not telling!

As hard as it may be for many Americans and Vietnamese Americans who have felt the battering hand of the Vietnam War for so many years, consider for a moment the small incandescence of last week’s United Airlines Flight 869 from San Francisco to Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), the first American commercial airliner to arrive at Tan Son Nhat airport since 1975. The last American jet that felt land in Vietnam was the final Pan Am jet as it departed during the fall of Saigon. I know it's asking a lot. Communists "won" that terrible war while American...

Samantha Stewart has owned Patton for a few months, and she is concerned because her robot dog gets temperamental, sits and whines a lot and disdains playing with his ball. The 27-year-old graduate student from Aurora has come to the Sony Gallery in Chicago hoping for a cure. Otis Gates, a traveling vet-shrink-Mr. Goodwrench-sales rep for Sony's Aibo line of entertainment robots, hooks Patton to a laptop computer for a diagnostic exam. Head, legs, sight, hearing, speaker, lights, sensors, camera check out fine. Gates' snap diagnosis: Patton is just going through a stage -- unfortunately it happens to be the...
