BREAKING: Indian-born Congressman Shri Thanedar (D-MI) files to impeach President Donald Trump. He is bringing forward 7 Articles. I bet Trump is literally shaking. "Defying a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling? That has to be the final straw. It's time we impeached Donald J. Trump. The court said the wrongfully deported Kilmar Garcia must be allowed to return and receive due process. Trump ignored it. He ignored the Constitution." "He ignored the very checks and balances that keep our democracy intact. This isn't an isolated incident. It's part of a dangerous deliberate pattern. That's why today I introduced a resolution...

As many as 400 million Hindu pilgrims are expected to visit Prayagraj, India, during this year’s 45-day Maha Kumbh Mela festival.

Neither Gabbard, the sect nor the firm, QI Group, wanted the relationships scrutinized. Gabbard’s...

Check it out- and spread it around. We are not a COMMUNE- we are the United States of America. We are not a non-sovereign nation, we are not a...

These figures are a rough estimate of the death of non-Muslims by the political act of jihad. Africa Thomas Sowell [Thomas Sowell, Race and Culture, BasicBooks, 1994, p. 188] estimates that 11 million slaves were shipped across the Atlantic and 14 million were sent to the Islamic nations of North Africa and the Middle East.
