Soviet-style Impeachment farce is speeding headlong to a laughable and undignified close—complete with a sign that reads: “Cancelled Due To Lack of Public Interest’ Don’t do it, Mr. President. Don’t dignify the Adam Schiff Soviet-style LIVE Impeachment ‘Inquiry’ with the dignity of a presidential presence. Let the Democrats and media remain in the no-substance nether regions where they’ve been since opening day. The liveliest headline for the DeadsVille Impeachment probe comes in today’s headline: ‘Trump Open to Testifying in Impeachment Probe’.

Journalist Tries To Shame Man For Proposing In KFC, It Backfires Hilariously As The Biggest Companies Are Offering To Fund Their Wedding. Recently, one man in South Africa proposed to his girlfriend at a KFC chain restaurant. The heartwarming moment was captured by a passer-by who spotted the man kneeling down on one knee at the KFC restaurant in Vaal, South Africa. In the video, the girlfriend can be seen tearing up and saying yes. The two seemed incredibly happy and were grinning from ear to ear to onlookers who were taking photos and videos. However, this journalist dragged the...

Colleen McNicholas, who performs abortions at the Reproductive Health Services Planned Parenthood center in St. Louis, told members of Congress during a hearing this week that “abortion is moral. Having a baby is a stressful experience. No woman should be forced to endure that experience if we have the means to save her from it. Abortion is that means. Implementing it is her right.” Podcast host Allie Beth Stuckey called McNicholas’ argument “appalling. It’s like a professional hitman justifying murder as a legitimate service because it helps solve a problem for his customer. The ‘hits’ put on babies by abortionists...

Are you tired of winning yet?I only ask because what as recently as anytime during the Obama years would have been trumpeted across every headline and blasted non-stop by all news outlets has lately been buried. It’s mostly been covered only by financial outlets, that have nothing else to report. The damn stock market just continues to be bullish on Trump’s America S&P 500 hits all-time high – October 28, 2019 Dow Jones Rallies On Big Jobs Report – November 1, 2019Dow rips to a record high, now up nearly 18% on the year – November 4, 2019The number of...

At a time when faith in the integrity of the media is at an all-time low, it is interesting to note that certain factions of the American left seem to be opposed to the very idea of established journalism norms and ethical press practices entirely. Just last week, the student government at Harvard voted to condemn the university’s student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson, for daring to follow basic journalism guidelines. For a September story on student protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions, the offending news organization merely reached out to the agency for comment, as would be standard practice...

A certain degree of polarization is a natural consequence of political discourse. The citizens of a country are bound to disagree—even profoundly—on the best course of action on any number of political, social, or moral issues. And on the brink of an election year, a spike in charged political discourse is to be expected. But when political disagreement breaks down to demonizing one’s ideological opponents, something clearly has gone amiss. The tendency to think the worst of those on the other side of the political aisle has not only meant governmental gridlock: it has driven a wedge between families, friends,...

“We shouldn’t feel individually guilty about climate change and how our actions may have contributed to it,” says environmental reporter Tatiana Schlossberg. “But we should feel collectively responsible for building a better world.” In her new book, Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have, Schlossberg examines how our daily decisions, ones we often don’t even think about, have far-reaching consequences that stretch beyond our understanding. In four sections—the internet and technology, food, fashion, and fuel—she draws connections between our everyday choices (like streaming a video or buying a pair of jeans) and the environmental problems that plague...

Another set of focus groups, another new talking point. This is how the Democrats do “impeachment.” – Last Thursday, as chronicled here at the Campaign Update, San Fran Nan and Bug-eyes Schiff rolled out their “bribery” talking point after testing the word with polls and focus groups. It turned out that “quid pro quo” hit too close to “Quid Pro Joe,” and people just fall asleep whenever Pelosi or Schiff utter the whole “obstruction of congress” nonsense,” so the Democrats needed a new word to describe the fantasy they were trying to construct. “Blackmail” being an actual English word that...

Subtitle: Nationwide Consensus. People react differently to the term “Federalism.” Some connect it to long-gone slavery, state’s rights, Jim Crow and oppression. Others, like myself, regard it an essential element of the unique American republic, that of divided responsibilities between the nation and states. Neither is federalism a competitor to democracy; it is its willing servant.1 Of course, thanks to the 17th Amendment, federalism is but a shadow of its former self. But, a small portion of our Framers’ original federalism lives on in the Electoral College (College). Those who detest the concept of powers retained by the states typically...

The Obama Administration coerced the Ukrainian government into removing the prosecutor investigating Ukrainian firm Burisma and its ties to Obama’s Vice President Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry. Next they plotted with whistleblower Eric Ciaramella in the White House and then pushed the Steele dossier to the FBI. We know that Obama State Department Victoria Nuland was involved in numerous activities in the Obama White House while working for John Kerry. Nuland first was noted when she was caught lying to reporters about Obama’s Benghazi talking points. Nuland then came to light in 2014 when she was caught on...

In Portland, Oregon, at Reed College, a small liberal-arts school, a 4 decade old old ‘Saturday Night Live‘ skit by comedian Steve Martin recently caused an uproar over cultural appropriation. In the classic Steve Martin skit, he performs a goofy song, “King Tut,” meant to satirize a Tutankhamun exhibit touring the U.S. and to criticize the commercialization of Egyptian culture. The skit is felt to be full on racist! Watch for yourself. Steve Martin performs his funky musical parody “King Tut,” which satirizes the popularity of the King Tut exhibit. [Season 3, 1978] Students in a humanities class at Reed...

Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee; Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and Mighty! God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity! Holy, Holy, Holy! All the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be. Holy, Holy, Holy! though the darkness hide Thee, Though the eye of sinful man, Thy glory may not see: Only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee, Perfect in power in love, and purity. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God...

Although the American ship’s GPS signals initially seemed to have just been jammed, both it and its neighbor had also been spoofed—their true position and speed replaced by false coordinates broadcast from the ground. This is serious, as 50% of all casualties at sea are linked to navigational mistakes that cause collisions or groundings. When mariners simply lose a GPS signal, they can fall back on paper charts, radar, and visual navigation. But if a ship’s GPS signal is spoofed, its captain—and any nearby vessels tracking it via AIS— will be told that the ship is somewhere else entirely. Nor...

If you’re ever looking for a way NOT to win a primary look no further than the crap Pete Buttigieg pulled trying to prove black people really do endorse both him and his plan. Seriously. Wow. Rachel R. Gonzalez @RachelRGonzalez Yesterday Pete Buttigieg put out a list of 400 Black South Carolinians that endorse him/his plan. -A lot of the people are confused because they didn’t endorse. -42 percent of the list is white. -They used stock photos from Kenya. Yet we have heard nothing from his campaign.

Full title: Corrupt Judge Amy Berman Jackson Refused Roger Stone from Raising the Argument that Would Have Set Him Free. Imagine getting arrested for driving while under the influence and the police do not have to prove you own a car or know how to drive. Then the next thing you know, you are headed for prison without a single shred of proof that you committed a crime. That is what happened to Roger Stone this week. He was found guilty of conspiring with Russia on hacked emails when there is not a shred of proof that Russia took the...

Supreme Leader of Iran backs Gas price hike as protests spread By: Hassan.Mahmoudi Earlier this week Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said that Iran is experiencing its most difficult times since the 1979 Revolution. Later, without prior warning, the state-run National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company announced an immediate 50% increase in the country's gas price early Friday. The heads of three key branches — government, parliament, and judiciary decided this energy policy as a signal of unity. “All of these games carry one message: The treasury is empty and the only way they have to fill it is to take...

While fans of the TV show Perry Mason are very familiar with the inadmissibility of “hearsay” testimony, Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill) asserted at the Schiff impeachment hearing that “hearsay can be much better evidence than direct evidence. Rather than being a collection of isolated facts, hearsay has the distinct advantage of having been vetted by the layers of people telling other people what they heard. This gives it the chance to gel into a coherent narrative in ways that direct evidence might not.” “The most astounding aspect of what we’ve heard from Taylor, Kent, and Yovanovitch is that while none...
