Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Monday ripped former President Trump’s recent remarks saying that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has a “death wish,” calling the comments against McConnell and his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, an “absolutely despicable, racist attack.” Cheney, the vice chairwoman of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, warned that Trump’s remarks could incite further violence. “When you see former President Trump just in the last 24 hours suggesting in a pretty thinly veiled way, using words that that could well cause violence against the Republican leader of...

The damaging revelations of the Jan. 6 committee hearings are fueling skepticism among Senate Republicans that former President Trump can win the GOP nomination in 2024 or even run for another term in the White House. One Republican senator, who requested anonymity to comment on the former president, said the “cascade” of embarrassing details about Trump’s conduct in the weeks before Jan. 6, 2021, and during the attack on the U.S. Capitol will seriously damage his political viability ahead of the 2024 election.

So, is China going to attack? Short answer: Only Xi knows. Absent that information, here are a few thoughts. A range of pressures, including an aging population, unresolved territorial disputes, and a slowing economy, is conspiring to challenge the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) legitimacy, which is premised on a post-Tiananmen promise of prosperity. These pressures may lead Xi to take action over Taiwan before Beijing’s economic and military advantages dwindle – the so-called “Davidson Window.” Then there is the “Pax Olympics” school that sees concern over global image forestalling Chinese aggression till after the 2022 Winter Olympics. There are ready...

A NASCAR crowd at Talladega Superspeedway broke into a “F–k Joe Biden” chant on Saturday — but an NBC reporter claims she heard something more benign. NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast was in the middle of interviewing driver Brandon Brown after he won his first NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the famed Alabama racetrack when the crowd behind them broke into a chant, Fox News said. “As you can hear the chants from the crowd,” Stavast said to Brown, according to a Twitter post after the race. “Let’s go Brandon.” The clip shows that the crowd was actually sharing their...

2021 09 30 Weather modification. “Climate Change” Part 1 I have been fascinated with the weather since I was a teenager in New York State. Watching lightning I was fascinated and watching the lightning hit many areas I would spend hours looking for storms. As I got older and going across the country in my twenties I have seen from east to west beautiful country and very little storms one Summer when I went across the country with friends. The last 60 years I have been following weather modification and fascinated with it. Finding out what causes storms as I...

David Chipman, who was selected by Joe Biden to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, made a slew of terrifying comments about how he would lead the agency. During his confirmation hearing Wednesday before the Senate, Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz got Chipman to admit that he supports a ban on one of the most popular guns sold in the United States. “With respect to the AR-15, I support a ban, as has been presented in a Senate bill and supported by the president,” David Chipman told Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Then, later in the hearing,...

Joe Biden’s unrelentingly odd and muddled behavior has become an everyday thing. In the video posted on Twitter, Biden addressed a woman on the importance of masks while he pulled down his mask and got inches from her face.

Came across this YouTube video not long ago. I feel she makes a lot of good points? Was very surprising. I felt well informed. It seems Jordan Peterson really just doesn't know what he's talking about sometimes. Though she's an environmentalist, she seems to have a nice little channel going that deserves more attention.

So, on FR you CANNOT kink to sites deemed liberal but CAN post tin foil hat conspiracy nonsense from 8ch. A site that hosts pedo and zoophilia and I'm the one whose account was deleted? Good luck with that. There are plenty of other rational sites around to peruse. This is certainly not one of them. 01/06/19

I must apologize. I do not have the time to make individual apologies to each one of you who I have offended, hence the general post. I have learned a lot in the last several years. Some of the things I've learned: I USED TO vote the lesser of two evils. No longer. God is Sovereign in illumination, as He is in salvation. He doen't give the same light to everyone at the same time. If you're in the dark; blame God, or get wisdom. Lincoln was NOT a good president. One of the most evil, actually. The CSA were...

As reported at the Gateway Pundit, moments after the DOMA ruling in the Prop 8 case, Sandy Steir promised "to keep pushing until gay marriage is legal in all states..." "[Steir]: "...we thank the Justices for letting us get married in California. But that's not enough. It's gotta go nationwide. And we can't wait for that day."" Now my take: While the polls may show a shift concerning same-sex marriage, only a few states have legalized same-sex marriage. The questions now are: 1.) How many of the members of Congress still around from the June 7, 2006 Senate vote (concerning...

When President Obama took office, the economy was losing 800,000 jobs per month. Today, we are in the midst of the longest streak of job growth on record. U.S. businesses have added 15.6 million jobs since early 2010. The unemployment rate has been cut by more than half from its peak. Rising home prices have brought millions of homeowners back above water. We’re less reliant on foreign oil than we have been in nearly three decades. We’ve cut our budget deficit by two-thirds as a share of the economy. Last year, the poverty rate fell by more than any year...

So I had commented on an article where the nyt I think, was picking apart trumps debt and insinuating that his acceptance of loans from box/GS was somehow a horrible thing for a presidential nominee to do. I surfed for a bit and wanted to read what others had written. The topic is completely gone, my comment isn't listed in pings.(my comment was 'and if it was Hillary they'd say the 950 million annual debt from boc/GS was covered plus xx% by annual leases' and then 'remember when Hillary stole priceless antiques from the wh so she could eat like...

I've looked all over and I cannot find a way to be banished from this site.

FULL TITLE: The Dishonest Trumpeter Narrative: “We Switched from Cruz to Trump After Chicago!” Is a Lie ... When Trump people wage psychological warfare, we must remember that it’s phony and dishonest like the man himself — as I will prove in this post. Let’s go straight to their phony psychological warfare. Trump people have been pushing a narrative that says: “I was for Cruz until he failed to support Trump’s free speech in Chicago on March 11. Now I’m all in for Trump.” This narrative is a lie from top to bottom. First, let’s look at some of the...

It if walks like a duck and quacks like a duck - it is a duck. If Donald Trump was running for president on the Democratic ticket, would you vote for him? Of course you would. Is it becoming more and more difficult to make excuses for Donald Trump? Did you know that Scott Walker is a loser because he did not raise taxes to balance his budget? Do any of you Trump supporters know what the federal deficit is? There is not enough taxpayer money in America to pay that off. Did you know that women should be prosecuted...

im saying this from Israel ey if you want to boy coot us don't sell us beer

We cannot let Donald Trump be our nominee without releasing his Tax Returns. If there is a "bombshell" in there, it needs to come out now. If not, a Democrat bureaucrat in the IRS will leak them (just like with Mitt Campaign). A "bombshell" post nomination = President Hillary Clinton. Trump supporters and everyone else should demand this transparency from a possible president...there's too much at stake.
