Joe Biden on Saturday rejected criticism that he's "the old guy" of the Democratic presidential field during a northern California fundraising swing. Answering critics over his debate performance — and a moment where he was asked to "pass the torch" to a younger generation of candidates — the former vice president said: “I know I get criticized, 'Biden says he can bring the country together.' Well guess what, I refuse to accept, 'He's the old guy.' I refuse to accept the status quo." “The status quo will not sustain us. I really mean it. It can't happen. If we unite...

TodayÂ’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Responding to reader mail.: Several readers have written to ask why I havenÂ’t had anything to say about the U.S. WomenÂ’s Soccer team and this peroxided-blonde doofus making all the ruckus over in some foreign country where they are playing the World Cup boredom, er, soccer matches. The answer to that is simple: I hate soccer. Well, let me revise that a little bit: I hate soccer when it is played by anyone over the age of 8. My granddaughterÂ’s 6-year-old and under soccer games this Spring were totes awesome, mainly because...

Just as Rome never had a king after deposing the last Tarquin, yet breathed her last under unlimited Emperors, America will never have an unlimited, absolute monarch. Instead, it has an oligarchic, arbitrary Supreme Court. While it is Constitutionally limited to the judicial power, as a practical matter Scotus recognizes no limits on its illegitimate power to legislate.1 It writes law. It rewrites law. It permits executive branch agencies to write laws. It creates rights. It denies rights. It denies religious liberty. It justifies murder and other crimes against nature. When Scotus simply disagrees with a state statute, it justifies...

Georgian capital of Tbilisi for the last week turned into the arena for the anti-Russian riots. The speech of Sergey Gavrilov, the deputy of the Russian State Duma and the head of the Inter-parliamentary Assembly of Orthodoxy (IPAO) from a tribune of the Georgian parliament was on June 20 the alleged cause. In reply representatives of the Georgian opposition stormed a tribune and banished Gavrilov together with colleagues from the Russian delegation. In the evening on June 20 near the building of parliament gathered from five to seven thousand protesters with the requirement to dismiss the head of the Parliament...

As expected, Governor Phil Murphy signed a record-setting FY 2020 budget on Sunday, line-item vetoing $48.5 million in spending (impounding many millions more, too, with little offered in the way of firm details) and avoiding a state government shutdown but authorizing $38.7 billion overall. That’s up from the $37.4 billion New Jersey spent over the course of fiscal year 2019.Murphy gave up (for now) on his fight for a millionaire’s tax increase. The Governor nevertheless doubled-down on his class warfare rhetoric, declaring that he remains “on the side of putting New Jersey’s families ahead of the wealthy, ahead of privileged...

In case you missed it AOC was exposed posing for a photoshoot against the fence of a parking lot to portray her weeping for kids at a "Concentration Camp." Inspired by some good memes at the link, we have some humble submissions of our own:

U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam issued an order permanently blocking President Trump’s plan to use unspent military funds for the construction of a wall on the United States’ southern border. Gilliam accepted the argument of the Sierra Club’s lawyers that “the wall will do irreparable harm by impeding the natural migration routes used by herds of Latinos making their way from their breeding grounds in the south to their feeding grounds in the north” and labeled the Trump Administration’s claim that the spending was justified by the border crisis “controversial and unproven.” “The plaintiffs’ argument that the United States is...

Bookworm Beat 6/30/19 — the Democrat debates illustrated edition [HILARIOUS CARTOONS] June 30, 2019 Bookworm The Democrat debates are the gift that just keeps giving — for Trump and his supporters. Plus a lot of other pointed and funny posters and cartoons.

"Those of us who make a living from the land are the best environmental stewards there are" The hundreds of loggers, farmers and ranchers who came off their farms and out of the forests and fields to circle Oregon’s capitol in protest of their government’s force-fed climate bill yesterday, didn’t just take a classic stand for the Beaver State, but for all other states in the union. Their major protest proved for once and for all that you don’t learn anything useful about The Environment sitting behind a desk in an air-conditioned government office, you can only learn it by...

The Democrats will be signing their own national suicide note if they refuse to change the asylum laws The Democrats have just got seven days left to join President Trump in amending America’s asylum laws - after President Trump delayed—for 14 days - plans for nationwide raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to deport undocumented families. The declared positions of the 25 Democrats in the first of their debates seeking nomination as the Democrats’ Presidential candidate in the 2020 elections indicate there is very little chance of changes in the existing asylum laws being agreed.

Jen Gennai, head of Google’s “Responsible Innovation” team, advised Democrats “to make sure all the anti-corporate rhetoric stays rhetoric. They need to keep in mind that we are with them 100 percent in their goal to oust Trump and will do everything in our power to assure that this effort succeeds.” “Elizabeth Warren is saying we should break up Google,” Gennai complained. “And like, I love her but she’s very misguided, like that will not make it better it will make it worse, because all these smaller companies who don’t have the same resources that we do will be charged...

VIDEO A compilation of some of the mainstream news media downplaying or grumbling about the significance of President Donald Trump meeting North Korea's Kim Jong Un at the DMZ and crossing over into North Korea. After their general grumbling earlier in the morning, the MSM seems to have settled on the worn out talking point that it was all just a "photo-op."

The world gets crazier by day. We won't die of shock from anything Nancy Pelosi comes up with, but we could die laughing about the president "routinely complaining without evidence that social media sites are biased against him and other conservatives. The leftwing media world is getting crazier by day, and it’s not just the 2020 Democrat primary contenders letting it all hang out at their absurd debates. According to Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, “it shouldn’t be a crime to cross into the United States illegally”. It shouldn’t be, as far as you’re concerned, Mrs. Pelosi ,but according to...

Canada Free Press (CFP) Prediction: Journos in the press corps will turn on Stephanie (Rocky) Grisham before this day is out. The music theme from the ‘Rocky’ movie should be playing in the heads of Jim Acosta and other journos whenever they hear the name of new White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham. But members of the mostly anti-Trump White House press corps will, rather than being grateful that she cleared the path for them to cover the President Donald Trump/Kim Jong Un handshake will be too busy looking for ways to knock her out of the ring.

<p>With the well-earned success of the Women’s Soccer Team in France, Megan Rapinoe has been much in the news. Soccer fans are focused on the goals and team play that has gotten the women two games away from the World Cup. On the other hand, those, like me, who cannot give a fat rat’s backside about soccer have been stunned by her display of selfishness.</p>

Remember how during the Obama Occupation everything that happened - according to the media - was “historic”? Some things are more historic than others.I’ll concede that the Obama administration invented hashtag diplomacy via the nascent Twitter platform, U.S. Secretary of State Spokeswoman Jen Psaki, tweeting for world peacePresident Donald J. Trump has taken it to the expert level. After some very important meetings, including my meeting with President Xi of China, I will be leaving Japan for South Korea (with President Moon). While there, if Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/DMZ just...

South Korean activists from both conservative and progressive groups held rallies in Seoul on Sunday as U.S. President Donald Trump visited the country, with no collisions being reported. Trump arrived in Seoul on Saturday for a two-day visit following his trip to Osaka, Japan, to take part in the Group of 20 summit. South Koreans were divided over the visit, with various groups expressing different opinions over the Seoul-Washington relationship.

“God’s Green New Deal: From Works of the Flesh to Fruit of the Spirit” (Galatians 5:1, 13-25) Last week we called our message “God’s Green New Deal: From Slaves to Sons.” We picked up on that phrase, “Green New Deal,” which has buzzing around in political circles this year. Only God’s Green New Deal won’t cost trillions and trillions of dollars. Actually, it’s much costlier than that, for it cost the precious blood of Christ, God’s own Son, which is of absolutely infinite value. But for you, God’s new deal is absolutely free. A free gift, the new covenant in...
