The homeless problem in San Francisco is out of control. Also, the poop problem is huge. San Francisco residents reported more than 30,000 cases of poop to authorities in 2019, city records show. What was once a hub for newcomers is leaving a bad taste in the mouths of its former residents as more and more citizens of the San Francisco Bay Area are jumping ship at a record-breaking pace. This is what happens when one party has been in control for TOO many years. Following the cleanup event in Baltimore last year, San Francisco was next in line. Scott...

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that he’s working on a compromise between U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler and U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, two Georgia Republicans who are clashing over the same seat in a November election. The president floated the idea that one of the two could leave the race during a speech at the White House celebrating the defeat of the Democratic-led attempt to remove him from office. “I know, Kelly, that you’re going to end up liking him a lot,” Trump said of Collins, whom the president called an “unbelievable friend.” He added: “Something’s going to happen...

The White House is weighing a plan to dismiss Alexander Vindman from the National Security Council after he testified in President Donald Trump’s impeachment inquiry, preparing to position the move as part of a broader effort to shrink the foreign policy bureaucracy, two people familiar with the matter said. The White House intends to portray any house-cleaning as part of a downsizing of the NSC staff, not retaliation, according to the people. Some of the officials being targeted for removal from the NSC would be reassigned because they’re perceived as being disloyal to the president, three people familiar with the...

Summary In his 2020 address to Congress, President Donald Trump stretched and distorted the facts: Trump claimed the economy is “the best it has ever been.” But GDP growth fell to 2.3% last year and economists predict further slowing this year.He said he brought about low unemployment by reversing “years of economic decay” and “failed economic policies,” when in fact over 1 million more jobs were added in the 35 months before he took office than in the first 35 months since.Trump boasted that the “unemployment rate for women reached the lowest level in almost 70 years.” That’s true, but...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi explains why she ripped up Trump's speech at the SOTU. She also expresses her anger over GOP members chanting "four more years" and she tells people she don't need lessons on dignity from anyone, especially the President. Video in source.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ignited backlash for her attack on President Trump’s accomplishments as tensions rose between the two following Tuesday’s State of the Union address. White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham slammed Pelosi for comparing Trump’s “remarks about our great nation & it’s many success stories” to “a reality TV show” during her weekly press conference Thursday. This morning things didn’t get any better as Trump held up a newspaper this morning with the headline “Acquitted!” in Nancy Pelosi’s presence at the National Prayer Breakfast! President Trump then proceeded to rip and shred Pelosi during his talk at the...

To the extent that Mitt Romney, handsome rich guy, is a sympathetic figure, it is because his attempts to prostrate himself before the left fail so consistently. The “binders full of women” comment, perverted as it was by the media, was also a total capitulation to the idea that there ought to be more quotas and affirmative action in hiring. But even then – even then! – they still painted him and Paul Ryan as racists who wanted to kill grandma and crawl through your window at night to steal your birth control. The lesson Republican voters took away was:...

Not just one religion but many religions. They’re brave, they’re brilliant, they’re fighters, they like people. And some times they hate people, I’m sorry. I apologize. I’m trying to learn.

Antifa and the radical left are trying to destroy our country! They’re doing it to Portland, Berkley, San Francisco, and other liberal cities. They’re ruining our once beautiful cities. Looks like the Democrat party is IMPLODING!! And, I think the swamp may drain itself. First, they can’t even fake the primaries in Iowa, then James O’Keefe from Project Veritas expose the communist background of the supporters of the eventual winner in Iowa primaries Bernie Sanders. It just keeps getting worse and worse for Bernie Sanders and his supporters. It seems like anyone and everyone who works for the Bernie Sanders...

The partisan operation to oust Trump through impeachment for winning the 2016 presidential election finally came to an end on Wednesday. The Senate voted to acquit Trump on the first article of impeachment, a charge for abuse of power, with a vote of 52-48, falling short of the 67 needed to remove the president from office. They voted to acquit on the second article of impeachment, a charge of obstruction of justice, with a vote of 53-47. Sen. Mitt Romney announced just hours before he would break party lines and split his vote, voting Trump guilty on the abuse of...

If this country is saved from the brink of disaster instigated by those whom would diligently tear up the fabric of our country as easily as Nancy tore the speech, then he will be revered in history as one of humanity's greatest saviors. And yes, it's still a big "If." But at least it's not a certainty…yet. All hints, along...

President Trump went on the offensive against socialism and left-wing policies during a defiant third State of the Union address to Congress Tuesday night — drawing groans from Democrats in attendance and prompting a furious House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to rip up her copy of Trump’s speech as soon as it concluded in a stunning scene. Pelosi mumbling and sneering smiles throughout President Trump’s powerful address were bad enough, but her decision to tear into shreds her copy of Trump’s speech and drop it like a dead fish was shameful beyond measure. Throughout the evening, Pelosi was seen fidgeting,...

Here’s a question for Speaker Nancy Pelosi: Have you heard of Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity? The one where he says it’s “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?” To judge by your conduct, I’m guessing you haven’t. Either that or you think Einstein was an idiot, too. Yesterday she did it again. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tore a copy of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech in half Tuesday shortly after he concluded his address in the House chamber. This drew a volcanic backlash. When Fox News asked why she did it,...

At least ten House Democrats planned to boycott President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night, as the Senate is expected to vote to acquit the commander in chief in his impeachment trial the next day. U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley announced via Tweet that she will not be attending President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night. “I am not attending tonight’s sham,” she tweeted around 5 p.m. In the tweet, she retweeted a message from her official congressional account that included a photo of her dressed in black, arms folded, in front of the U.S....

President Trump predicted Tuesday that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will challenge Sen. Chuck Schumer for his New York seat and that she will “kick his ass.” Trump made the pot-stirring remark during a traditional pre-State of the Union luncheon for TV news personalities. The relaxed off-the-record lunch featured bass and leek soup in the White House state dining room, just hours before Trump delivers the annual address on Capitol Hill. “I think she will kick his ass,” Trump said in a remark that he placed on the record.

It’s the separation of children from their parents that the lefties are in an uproar about even though it was also happening under Obama at pretty much the same levels. Democrats basically invited people to assault our border and then got them arrested for the crime! Only the really slow ones are still raging on about the cages since most of them have finally gotten the message that the pictures they were all upset about were taken during the Obama administration. That’s when they pivoted their fake outrage to the fact of the separation instead of the optics. Some liberal...

President Trump wasn’t called a racist until he ran against Hillary. That’s how liberals operate. Play the race card every time. They’ve done it for decades. Fortunately, minorities aren’t falling for it as much as they used to. The black people no longer think they are victims – but free men – to do and achieve as they can. Just like all should be able to do. In November, two polls found that President Trump’s approval rating among black likely voters had reached 34%. An Emerson poll found that Trump has a 34.5% approval rating among black likely voters and...

President Trump is likely finishing his State of the Union speech today. Not that he needs any help, but I suspect we all might have a few suggested lines to add.
