Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine’s mother moved out of a personal care home with the health secretary’s help, after Levine ordered all nursing homes and long-term facilities in the state to accept coronavirus patients from hospitals.

Francis, the Good Boss “Who Doesn't Want To Fire Anyone.” But the Facts Say the Opposite The all-out war that flared up starting on May 3, in Italy, between minister of justice Alfonso Bonafede and the magistrate Nino Di Matteo, both belonging to the justicialist wing of politics and the magistrature, has obscured what happened at the Vatican in the days immediately beforehand, with Pope Francis as protagonist, there too in the name of the most unbridled justicialism.In Argentina, “justicialista” was the name of the party created by Juan Domingo Perón, the leader whom Jorge Mario Bergoglio fervently supported in...

The level of corruption in the Department of Justice is astounding. Bureaucrats receive little or no punishment for serious infractions, as illegal activity is frequently overlooked as a result of what is called professional courtesy. For instance, a police officer might not ticket a fellow officer for exceeding the speed limit. This is almost excusable; we often excuse behavior by a family member that we would not tolerate in a stranger. But when a life-threatening situation is excused it is no longer a matter of courtesy. Allowing a highly intoxicated driver to proceed with only a warning does no favor...

The scientist whose advice prompted Boris Johnson to lock down Britain resigned from his Government advisory position on Tuesday night as The Telegraph can reveal he broke social distancing rules to meet his married lover. Professor Neil Ferguson allowed the woman to visit him at home during the lockdown while lecturing the public on the need for strict social distancing in order to reduce the spread of coronavirus. The woman lives with her husband and their children in another house. The epidemiologist leads the team at Imperial College London that produced the computer-modelled research that led to the national lockdown,...

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s office denied the governor had left the state for the Outer Banks after issuing a stay-at-home order. Rumors circulated social media that the Democratic governor had traveled to his second home in the Outer Banks, N.C., after signing an executive order asking Virginians to “remain at their place of residence,” with the exception of essential travel. Northam’s order was issued March 30 and is set to expire June 10.

Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi discussed how delay and denial can cost lives. She was talking with Ari Melber about what could happen if situations regarding the coronavirus are delayed or denied, and she heavily stressed that it could cost lives. In that case, she’s right. Any delay or denial when it comes to medical situations and patients could always cost lives – that’s a given. However, as Nancy Pelosi speaks about this, she’s missing one really gigantic and obvious point...

[Catholic Caucus] Again: Francis Commands And Then Blames Those Obeying Him Live-streamed Masses without people are a danger and “gnostic,” Francis rambled during his live-streamed April 17 Mass without people. He pontificated that the sacraments cannot be virtual, “This is not the Church, it's a Church in a difficult situation.” Antonio Socci reminds on Facebook.com that Francis has a pattern of ridiculing those who obey him. The closing of the churches is for Socci the most recent example. Francis first demanded from the clergy obedience to the State which wanted the closing, and received the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte....

This has to be her "Let Them Eat Cake" moment!! In her mansion, dual refridgerator stocked by servants (do you think she masked up and went to Ralph's?), holding Congress in recess, and she does this?? If here is one example of the political elite, this is it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgfumenJbXE

The mayor of one of America's largest cities is coming under fire after she urged people to stay at home instead of going to get their hair styled amid the coronavirus pandemic, and then getting her own hair professionally trimmed to look good on television. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a Democrat, is defending her fresh "do" this weekend, whole barbers and hair stylists in Illinois have been shut down by the state's "stay-at-home" order.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot has been adamant that people stay home and socially distance for weeks. But a social media post from the woman who cut the mayor’s hair this weekend has some wondering if Lightfoot is saying one thing and doing another. As CBS 2 Political Investigator Dana Kozlov reported, the stylist in the post, Cashmere Neal, thanked the mayor for allowing her to cut her hair on Sunday. And in the photo, the two are standing inches apart without masks. Mayor Lightfoot on Monday was asked about the photo, whether it is acceptable social distancing, and any concerns that...

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign on Friday adamantly denied a newly surfaced allegation of sexual assault leveled by a former Senate staffer, calling the claim concerning the purported incident decades ago “false.” “Women have a right to tell their story, and reporters have an obligation to rigorously vet those claims. We encourage them to do so, because these accusations are false,” Kate Bedingfield, deputy campaign manager and communications director for the Biden campaign, said in a statement to Fox News. A former executive assistant to then-Senator Biden also challenged the account, calling it "clearly false." [cut] Reade said that...

Elizabeth Warren is spotted getting off a private jet in Iowa - as Trump supporters accuse her of trying to hide behind a staffer when she realizes she's being filmed. Senator Elizabeth Warren was spotted getting off a private plane ahead of the Iowa caucus - with Trump supporters accusing her of trying to hide when she realized she was being filmed.

Footage obtained by Fox News showed the 70-year-old stepping off the plane with several campaign staffers. The Massachusetts senator...

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler -- one of the impeachment managers prosecuting President Donald Trump -- believes perjury and obstruction of justice need not be impeachable offenses. Or that is what Nadler claimed in 1998, when he was a dissenting minority member on a Judiciary Committee that approved four articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton. Clinton -- like Nadler -- was a Democrat. The full House voted to approve two of the four articles against Clinton -- with five Democrats voting for each of the approved articles. One article alleged Clinton committed perjury in a federal grand jury. "The...

Ah, Hollywood is at it yet again. This time, we've got Alec Baldwin blaming Trump voters for supposedly bringing American "near moral collapse" because, well, they voted for the guy. This makes them accomplices to evil. Or something. On Monday, Baldwin took to Twitter via his foundation's account in order to go after all those who voted for then-candidate Donald Trump back in 2016. "American democracy has always been a struggle between the misaligned protections of specific freedoms and a raging, at times intoxicating, 12 cylinder economy," he wrote. "It demanded vigilant/consistent regulation, compassion for the disenfranchised, and the periodic...

emocratic candidate Mark Kelly is leading Republican Sen. Martha McSally among Arizona voters, according to a new poll. Kelly, a former astronaut and U.S. Navy captain, has a 4-point lead over the incumbent Republican, according to a poll by the left-leaning Public Policy Polling. The survey found that 46 percent of polled voters said they would vote for Kelly and 42 percent said they would vote for McSally. An additional 12 percent said they were not sure. Kelly is married to former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.), who has been a prominent gun control advocate since retiring from Congress after surviving...

Never-Kneel-Francis, “Bend Your Knee To Jesus” “If we can fall down on our knees before Jesus, we will overcome the temptation to set off on our own path,” Francis quipped during his Epiphany homily (January 6).He insisted, that “theology and pastoral effectiveness mean little or nothing unless we bend the knee.”Francis himself never kneels before Christ, neither at Mass nor at eucharistic adoration. He only kneels for Muslims, homosexuals, Sudanese politicians, and Anglican martyrs.Accordingly, Francis succumbed to the temptation to go his own way, and is theologically and pastorally ineffective, even destructive.

Chuck Todd, the host of “Meet the Press,” fired back Thursday after being repeatedly accused of McCarthyism by conservative commentator and Fox News personality Tucker Carlson. Mr. Todd delivered a monologue about McCarthyism during the NBC show’s latest episode, saying the term has been used recently absent “much intellectual honesty or care.” Without mentioning Mr. Carlson by name, Mr. Todd weighed in on the heels of the Fox News host repeatedly comparing him this week to former Sen. Joe McCarthy, the late Wisconsin Republican who infamously accused Americans during the Cold War of being communists. Mr. Todd played a montage...

Joe Biden hit back at a reporter who asked him whether calling an Iowa voter a "damn liar" was comparable to rhetoric from President Trump. "No, no, no, no, no, don't compare me to Donald Trump. Don't do that," the former vice president shot back at an NPR reporter when she made the comparison Saturday. Biden said Trump makes fun of people and lies, adding, "I don't do any of those things." "The fact of the matter is this guy stood up, and he was, in fact, lying. And I just pointed out, 'You're a liar.' It's a fact," he...
