78 years ago, while the wounds of the Pearl Harbor attacks were still fresh, the United States celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Bill of Rights. To commemorate this special day, all four major radio networks aired a one-hour special program narrated by U.S. Army corporal Jimmy Stewart and other celebrities of the day. Listen to this entertaining and powerfully patriotic program here: https://orsonwelles.indiana.edu/items/show/2037Lt. Gen.

The radiant former First Lady, 72, showed off a wrinkle-free complexion and plumped-up cheeks as she joined her husband Bill behind the scenes of Ain’t Too Proud: The Temptations Musical at The Imperial Theatre. Sporting a vibrant pink tunic dress with black trousers and a statement gold necklace, Chicago-born Hillary smiled as she chatted and posed with the cast. Her glowing skin was noticeably smoother and her cheeks more defined than earlier in the week, when she spoke at the Jewish Labor Committee’s Annual Human Rights Awards Dinner in the city on Monday. Aesthetic expert Dr Ross Perry, founder of...

Democratic presidential contender South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg leveled a charge of sexual harassment against President Trump. The basis of the allegation was Trump's assertion at a campaign rally that "I dream about him." "As a gay man I find this both frightening and annoying," Buttigieg complained. "It violates my constitutional right against cruel and unusual punishment. My wife Chasten is extremely disturbed and now refuses to sleep with me. That Trump would do this to me is the lowest of low blows and further marks him as unfit for office. if you missed any of this week's other...

I haven't bothered with these witch-hunts, being out of the States for some time now, but now I see the Dummycrats have taken it up a notch and I figured I ought to know something about this in case asked. I digged and digged and I can't figure out what the heck President Trump is alleged to have done. I read that he was alleged to have pressured Ukraine on a quid pro quo for some investigations against Dems. But then there's a statement that Trump said "I don't want nothing" And even if a President tells a foreign government...

Impeachment is finally here! Fan service for The Resistance, which is nearly as big a fantasy as a certain movie coming out shortly that features a thinly-disguised equivalent. Except that Obi Wan Trump is the person who actually wields The Force. And his padawan, Boris Johnson. Not even St. Greta of Thunberg, playing the Daisy Ridley role on the nightly network news version, can stand up to Trump. Anyone recall that the dreadful prequels feature a trade dispute? Guess what just changed on that front? Strap in: extra big edition this week because of the UK election.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) rejected arguments that we should allow the upcoming 2020 election to decide who will be president. “Elections are unreliable,” Nadler said. “We all saw what happened in 2016. Despite the heroic efforts by the FBI described in the Horowitz report, Donald Trump, with the aid of the Russians, managed to dupe enough strategically positioned voters to snatch victory away from the majority’s preferred candidate: Hillary Clinton. We cannot sit idly by and allow this to happen again.” “We need to find our way to a better method of selecting who shall govern,” Nadler...

“There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or an impeachment supported by one of our major political parties and opposed by another.”– Jerry Nadler. “Impeachment is a very serious matter. If it happens it has to be a bipartisan initiative.” – Nancy Pelosi “In the absence of very graphic evidence, it would be difficult to get the support in the Senate needed to make an impeachment successful. Again, my feeling is let’s see what Bob Mueller produces. But the evidence would have to be pretty overwhelming.”– Adam Schiff If you ever needed proof that democrats were lying hypocritical dogs,...

[Note: The piece we posted here on December 9 from from a former instructor at NAS Pensacola (What Really Happened at NAS Pensacola, and Why) has gone viral across the Internet and generated an array of compelling responses. Some are so compelling that I feel they deserve high profile posts of their own. Below is the first of those, from a former Air Force instructor who also trained foreign nationals during his military service. I found his information especially interesting as it provides insight about the personal interrelationships that become formed between U.S. military personnel and their international colleagues and...

Sidney Powell discusses Horowitz testimony and General Flynn ‘Mysterious letter to Clapper disappears…’ — at 7:05 https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=134&v=BcF1DlnceeM&feature=emb_logo Anonymous commenter in the CFP open thread pointed out the following: At 7:10 in the Powell clip we see the primary event that hooks Clapper into the conspiracy — a letter from British Security diasavowing Christopher Steele that was passed directly to ODNI. That letter has disappeared. That must be the moment when Clapper gave tacit consent to the coup plotters to proceed forward. The letter represents his area of maximum exposure and liability. It’s an item he has not been asked about....

When the Dear Leader of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jerry Nadler, said that this was too important a matter to trust to the voters in the next election, he and his ilk gave us a frightening preview of the Gulag into which they would put We the People, should they gain full control of the government. They wrap themselves up in the Constitution but conveniently forget the first three words. They forget that the Constitution establishes three branches of government, not two. But they have no time for the courts to rule on disputed documents and privileged conversations. They...

Hundreds of thousands of social media users have watched University of Tennessee quarterback Brian Maurer's ex-girlfriend celebrate dumping him on TikTok. Morgan Hood, a sophomore at the school, recently took to the social media platform to share a humorous but scathing video about the end of the couple's relationship, in which she indicates that she's much better off without him. The TikTok quickly went viral — but has led to the young Nashville native being brutally trolled on Twitter.

Democrats would be scared to death if they had any sense. But we all know the answer to that ‘if’, don’t we? – The entire Democrat impeachment clown show has been a giant exercise in group stupidity, but words cannot really capture just how incredibly stupid it was for the Democrats to hold Tuesday’s Judiciary Committee hearing, at which they approved the drafting of their two idiotic articles of impeachment, on the very day that President Trump was scheduled to hold a campaign rally in Pennsylvania just a few hours after the hearing concluded. For those who haven’t been paying...

The Brits: they just copycat everything we do. First they elect a guy with goofy blonde hair who wants to make Britain sovereign again:Then the disloyal opposition rolls out their “resistance” - which looks a lot like the Trump resistance on the other side of the pond. All the usual suspects showed up to cry and howl at the full moon.Funny how Antifa always shows up for these “spontaneous” protests.Add homophobia and sexism to the charges of racism. Anti-Tory protesters marched on Whitehall last night, rejecting the result of the general election and chanting that Boris Johnson is “not my...

There was a time not too long ago that you could get on Linked In and see that many of the people who were in charge of Apple News were people had previous ties to various left-wing news outlets, think tanks, and activist centers. It is harder to find now. As this Guardian piece notes, Apple News employees now tend to not note that they work for Apple News. Others have cleaned up their resumes so you can’t tell they’re from leftwing interest groups now sending you push alerts from Apple to highlight left leaning news items and talking points....

Whereas abuse of power is a separate issue, how can the House impeach Trump for "Obstruction of Congress" when it is the Constitutional right of the co-equal Judicial Branch to act as the arbiter in the event of the House of Reps wanting the White House to comply with summons and turning over what it believes is important and pertinent documents, the White House/Executive as another co-equal branch says take it to the courts to decide, the House of Reps refuses, then demands that the Executive acquiesce to its demands, unconstitutionally acts as if it possesses those Judicial Branch powers...

Lisa Page, former FBI lawyer and paramour of FBI agent Peter Strzok, has filed suit against the Department of Justice for invasion of privacy. The "invasion" was the public release of texts and emails between her and Strzok, including those that discussed their participation in the plot against Trump that was carried out by the FBI. "There were dozens of FBI employees plotting against Trump," Page said. "Extramarital affairs were perks widely accepted at the Agency. Singling out my affair and evidence of my participation in the conspiracy was discriminatory. I will not stand for being made the lone scapegoat...
