Rep. John Katko, who represents the Syracuse area and New York’s 24th District, announced that he will vote to impeach President Donald Trump. Katko is apparently the first Republican member of the House of Representatives to announce his support. “To impeach a sitting president is a decision I do not take lightly,” Katko said in his statement. He said that, as a former federal prosecutor, he approached this question by looking at the facts. “The facts are this: last week, the U.S. Capitol was attacked by a mob intent on disrupting a Joint Session of Congress and preventing certification of...

It seems unthinkable that in my daily workplace, with armed security and a state hospital police department, there could be other people carrying guns who have no training and who have undergone no background checks (something made legal in 2015 by Kansas law). Historical data and prior criminal events have helped shaped the need for this level of security in the medical center, including a physician and a visitor being shot in the emergency department in 1981. Our police and security have months and often years of training in the safe handling of firearms and in dealing with people in...

MANCHESTER, N.H. — A day after Donald Trump raised questions about President Barack Obama’s citizenship, Rudy Giuliani on Friday swatted down the "birthers" as a waste of time, saying it's "clear" the president was born in America. The former New York City mayor — making his first trip to New Hampshire of the 2012 presidential cycle as he weighs another run for the White House — made the comments to POLITICO just before he spoke at the Manchester GOP Lincoln Day dinner here. "He's born in the United States, I don't see any real question about that," Giuliani said. "And...

Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner is making another run at forcing major online retailers, including Amazon, to collect sales tax on California purchases. Skinner, a Berkeley Democrat, said Assembly Bill 153 could generate between $250 million and $500 million for the state. Proponents are hoping a new governor and some corporate firepower, including Amazon rival Barnes & Noble, . . .

Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, has been left red faced after mistakenly sending a birthday message to the Queen a week early. An official statement from the US foreign policy chief paid tribute to the "Queen’s life and legacy,” despite the fact that the Monarch does not celebrate her official birthday until next weekend. The diplomatic faux pas, sent on behalf of President Barack Obama and the American people on Friday, also celebrated the "special relationship" between the British and US governments.

Have you heard of Javier Solana? “Javier [Solana] is I think a personal incarnation of the world’s most effective institution of global governance, namely himself.” | Carlos Pascual, Co-Director, Managing Global Insecurity Project; Vice President and Director, Foreign Policy The Brookings Institution in an introduction to A Plan for Action: Renewed American Leadership and International Co... Solana was born on July 14, 1942 as Javier Solana de Madariaga in Madrid, Spain. On his maternal side, he is the grandson of famous Spanish diplomat/writer Salvador de Madariaga (1886-1978). JAVIER SOLANA: MYSTERY MAN OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER. In 1965 he went...

Ron Paul has been brought to prominence by his long-standing opposition to the nation's monetary system and the Federal Reserve Board that prints money and controls its supply. Here are some of Rep. Ron Paul's most recent legislative battles. • Federal Reserve: Wants to remove the veil of secrecy over the board controlling the nation's money supply. • Government regulation: Wants Congress to sign off on any federal rule that imposes costs of $5,000 on an individual or $10,000 on a business. • Congressional pay: Seeks to end automatic annual cost-of-living pay increases for lawmakers. • Foreign policy: Opposes the...

Virginia legislators claimed victory against the Antichrist and implantable microchips last week by passing a bill that prevents employers or insurance companies from forcing patients to accept the devices. Del. Mark L. Cole (R-Fredericksburg), the sponsor of the bill, worried that the devices could someday be the "mark of the beast" as described in the Book of Revelation. Cole tries to explain: "My understanding -- I'm not a theologian -- but there's a prophecy in the Bible that says you'll have to receive a mark, or you can neither buy nor sell things in end times," Cole said. "Some people...

We thought cash for clunkers was the ultimate waste of taxpayer money, but as usual we were too optimistic. Thanks to the federal tax credit to buy high-mileage cars that was part of President Obama's stimulus plan, Uncle Sam is now paying Americans to buy that great necessity of modern life, the golf cart. The federal credit provides from $4,200 to $5,500 for the purchase of an electric vehicle, and when it is combined with similar incentive plans in many states the tax credits can pay for nearly the entire cost of a golf cart.

Just how smart is the President? Famous presidential historian Michael Beschloss, a regular on PBS's Newshour show, says his IQ is "off the charts" and that he is "probably the smartest guy ever to become president," while admitting he doesn't know what his IQ is. I say: let's look at the evidence. Obama's booksJack Cashill has expended a great deal of effort at American Thinker to blast holes in the "foundational myth" that President Obama is a "literary genius". Comparing books attributed to Obama with known undisputed samples of his writings, Cashill has shown that, in fact, Obama is a...

McCain says Neda was a seminal event in the protests, and the winds of change will go throught Iran..., I can't remember what President Obama said about it.....

I doubt there's ever been anyone dumber on TV than this misguided liberal schmuck/Allan Colmes. He said it today on Fox News at around 12:30 PM ET, so there's no link available (yet?).

In the last few minutes of today's show, a caller called in and told Glenn that he had audio of former Vice President Al Gore telling a group of children, "Your parents were wrong about civil rights, and they will be proven wrong about global warming".He will air the audio tommorrow and is looking for video to accompany the audio....developing...

The answer to whether former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, the surprise leader in Iowa among Republican candidates for president, can nourish late-blooming interest among voters wasn't revealed Wednesday during the final GOP debate before the leadoff Iowa caucuses. An anticipated frigid exchange between Huckabee and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who recently lost his edge in Iowa, didn't materialize. Huckabee, who also has eroded former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's position in nationwide polls, was so intent on avoiding fireworks that he said his New Year's resolution was to watch his tongue. "I'm going to be a lot more...

There was a pic of Kerry head butting a soccer ball. It was from the '04 campaign. I think on a tarmac. He looked like an ape with his arms hanging out. His face appeared like a chimp. I can't find it anywhere. (It's NOT this pic:Thanks!
