Attorney General Bill Barr recently asked a question that all Americans should be asking: “How did we get to the point where . . . the evidence is now that the president was falsely accused of colluding with the Russians and accused of being treasonous and accused of being a Russian Agent?” Barr added that the evidence now shows the accusations were “without a basis” and that “two years of his administration have been dominated by allegations that have now been proven false.” To answer that question, we have to go back and look at two dysfunctional relationships the FBI...

The Pew Research Center has produced a projected profile of what the American electorate will look like ethnically in the 2020 elections. The portrait shows a continued trend of America becoming an increasingly nonwhite nation and electorate. Pew projects that 66.7 percent of eligible voters in 2020 will be white. In the presidential election in 2016, 71 percent of voters were white. In 2000, 76.4 percent of eligible voters were white, 10 points more than Pew projects for 2020. When President Reagan was elected in 1980, 88 percent of the electorate was white.

“Behold, I Am Making All Things New!” (Revelation 21:1-7) Today we’re starting a three-part sermon series I’m calling “Behold, the New Jerusalem!” These messages will be based on the readings from Revelation chapters 21 and 22, where St. John is given a vision of our eternal dwelling place, the new Jerusalem. What we will discover over these next couple of weeks is what you and I have to look forward to as the people of God. Brothers and sisters, it will be new and exciting and beyond our wildest imagination! We begin today with the opening verses of Revelation 21....

The Yellow Vests protest continues for a 27th week where protest remains restricted at key locations like the presidential palace, the Champs-Elysees and the Notre Dame Cathedral..... 15,500 Yellow Vests estimated by the government today but the Yellow Vests "Yellow Number" is 40,497 with a higher number expected to be released Sunday. 1600 protesters marched through the streets of Paris. But in Reims and Nancy there were tense moments with an injured protester found lying on the ground in Reims....

AND THAT MEANS OUR NATIONAL POLITICS ARE HEALTHIER THAN WE THOUGHT Another nasty, smear rag bites the dust. Sometimes when a company implodes you feel sorry for the people who are losing their jobs. Sometimes, however, it is very, very difficult to do so. This week, the New York Post reported on one of those instances where a company fails and you have an urge to send “Learn to Code” memes to every single one of their employees. Salon Media Group, a one-time digital darling, has fallen on hard times. It lost its CEO of the past three years last week and...

This week in media malpractice.

This is collusion. The real thing. Dossier author Christopher Steele identified a former Russian spy chief and a top adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin as being involved in handling potentially compromising information about President Donald Trump, State Department notes show. In her notes, State Department official Kathleen Kavalec also referred to the two Russians — former Russian foreign intelligence chief Vyacheslav Trubnikov and Putin aide Vladislav Surkov — as “sources.” The references to Trubnikov and Surkov, which have not previously been reported, are not definitive proof that either were sources for Steele’s dossier or that they were involved in an...

This week, Alabama and Missouri enacted legislation severely restricting abortions carried out in their states. In Missouri, abortions after eight weeks of pregnancy were banned. In Alabama all abortions except those necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother were outlawed. Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif) called these laws "an invitation to inflict the nightmare from The Handmaid's Tale on the women of this country." Unfortunately for her argument, in The Handmaid's Tale fertile women are enslaved, raped, and forced to bear children for the ruling class. Neither of these state laws does anything remotely like that. These laws...

VIDEO This video reveals what almost everybody is reluctant to admit out loud: WHY Arnold Schwarzenegger was attacked in South Africa. It is a delicate subject but I don't refrain in spelling out the reason for the attack even though it will make many uncomfortable to face the truth.

Scott Morrison wins in Australia.

The media's war on freedom of speech.

VIDEO It has been announced that the Miami location for the first Democrat debates on June 26 & 27 will be at the Adrienne Arsht Center which is really good news since it is accessible by rail. This will allow me to LIVE STREAM outside the debate venue for several hours on both days, possibly from about 2 to 6 PM EDT. In this video I advise the candidates on how they can raise their profiles by embracing the social media of the people (such as Yours Truly) who will be live streaming outside the event. In fact, with the...

Every time AOC opens her mouth to speak, more pearls of communist wisdom roll out onto the floor. They spread in all corners of the country and disappear, never to be found again. Her socialist ardent supporters just hear “free, free, free for all.” The New Green Deal proposed by radicals in Congress brought back best-forgotten memories of my life under the “paradise of socialism.” I am too old to live under socialism because I like simple luxuries like soap, detergent, toilet paper, electricity, food, clean water, and comfortable shoes, and being able to express my opinion in public without...

It’s worth noting that even in the Jetson’s future world of flying cars a driver was still required. That’s because the Jetsons lived in a world where technology may have advanced but the fundamental elements of human nature remained the same. Which is to say most humans like to be in control. Driving gives us that sense, we can’t control the other idiots on the road but we can control how we maneuver around their stupidity. And that may be why we may actually be closer to the flying car than the driverless car. Warning: the images in your rearview...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Jabba The Nadler keeps setting deadlines, and they just keep getting ignored. – House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler is very fond of “deadlines.” Unfortunately, he doesn’t appear to realize he has no authority to enforce most of them. Oh, wait, before we get into this, watch Nadler smack his way through a breakfast interview with Democrat activist John Harwood, if you can stand it.: For those of you who still like to read stuff, here is the transcript, courtesy of Rush Limbaugh: NADLER: (restaurant noise) (lips smack) It’s… I mean, the right…...

Announcing The National Protest Against Stericycle with Guest Eric Scheidler MAY 22, 2019

LINCOLN, Neb. — Self-identified liberal voters are less forgiving to Democratic politicians who cross party lines on certain issues than conservative voters are to Republican lawmakers doing the same thing, a recent study shows. Researchers at the University of Nebraska used MRI technology to examine the brains of 58 people when they face incongruent positions by politicians. The researchers wanted to see which parts of the brain lit up when people evaluated fictional politicians’ stances on key conservative and liberal issues.

I'm reading a book about Florida called "For Sale —American Paradise: How Our Nation Was Sold an Impossible Dream in Florida" by Willie Drye. A lengthy title but a very good book, I am learning so much about how Florida went from a swampy backwater full of alligators where nobody wanted to live to our third most populous state (and perhaps someday to be our most populous state) and certainly the most air-conditioned state in the union. Willie Drye's book is very well researched and is full of very interesting stories about the early days of the Florida boom and...

It's a surreal thing to tune into a committee mark-up and see Democrats singing "Happy birthday to you." Before February, nothing about that would have seemed mildly ironic. But in a House majority that thinks birth days aren't always worth celebrating, Rep. Nita Lowey's (D-N.Y.) song suddenly feels a little off. Especially when that same chairwoman goes on to spend the next three hours arguing that Americans should make sure babies overseas never get born. If Democrats get their way, there will be no "Happy birthday" song for who knows how many children. In the majority's debate over State Foreign...

House Democrats are backing away from plans to hold a blockbuster hearing this month with Robert Mueller after talks stalled out with the special counsel and his representatives. Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) and a senior Democratic committee aide told POLITICO on Friday that there’s no Mueller hearing planned for next week, though that could also change at a moment’s notice if the special counsel said he’s ready to testify. “I would assume not,” Nadler replied when asked whether Mueller would be appearing before the upcoming Memorial Day recess, which starts next Friday. A Judiciary staffer later added, “Mueller could...
