    President Donald Trump suggested Sunday that presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has lost his mental acuity, saying he “doesn’t know he’s alive.” “Biden doesn’t know, I mean, he doesn’t know he’s alive,” Trump told Washington, D.C. ABC News affiliate WJLA. “I’m against somebody. Think of it. I’m against somebody that can’t answer simple questions. I’ve never seen anything like it, but here’s what I am against. I’m against a very powerful party, the Democrats, and they can take this glass of water and say that’s your candidate.” U.S. President Donald Trump arrives to make a statement to reporters about...

    The 60-foot yacht she chartered to get her from England to New York has returned to Europe, and Thunberg says she does not know how she will be returning to Sweden.Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist, has been making waves the world over with powerful speeches and appearances in climate strikes. Since late August, she’s been on a tour of North America, attending rallies, meeting with world leaders, and speaking at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York City. She’s set to march in a climate strike in Edmonton on Friday, Oct. 18. Thunberg has said she...
  • Andrew Park: Hospital, campus are no places for guns(MD authority)

    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...

    President Barack Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli planes in 2014 if they were sent to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities, according to reports attributed to a Kuwaiti newspaper. According to the website Israel National News, the Bethlehem-based news agency Ma'an cites Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida. Al-Jarida reports that the alleged threat from the White House forced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel the planned attack. An Israeli minister on good relations with the Obama administration reportedly tipped Secretary of State John Kerry to the plan and that Obama vowed to shoot down the planes when they crossed over U.S.-controlled airspace...
  • Is Syria a real problem or just the latest phony scandal?

    Slow Down In a rush to start a military strike against Syria, the Nobel Peace prize recipient is being told to slow down by the UN and European countries. Obama’s request for the assistance of old allies in his mad scramble to protect al Qaeda-led rebels from the Syrian Regime was soundly rejected by Britain. Valerie Jarrett must have demanded Obama strike Assad immediately. After all, the rebellion is being influenced by the Mo-Bros with Saudi oil money. When you read anything that says Brotherhood fighters it actually means al Qaeda. Chemical attack On August 21st, chemical weapons were used...

    No sooner had the absolutely horrifying unemployment report for March been released than we received an update on the status of engineer Darin Wedel, who became one of America’s most famous job seekers two months ago. At that time, Wedel’s wife Jennifer found herself in one of President Obama’s gimmicky “online chat” events, and asked the President why the government is passing out so many visas for foreign workers when large numbers of Americans with excellent job skills are unemployed. Darin Wedel was a semiconductor engineer at Texas Instruments, but lost his job three years ago. The President expressed surprise...

    With all the struggles that come with being autistic has also come an incredible gift for British artist Stephen Wiltshire — he can draw in extraordinary detail from memory. After standing in London's Piccadilly Circus for just 10 minutes, ABC News correspondent Nick Watt asked Wiltshire to draw it from memory. It took him a little more than an hour. He drew without stopping. In the end Wiltshire's image was almost exact in every detail. At age 3 Wiltshire was diagnosed with autism. Though mute and withdrawn, he demonstrated a natural talent and active interest in drawing. Wiltshire uttered his...

    AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- A Chicago artist accused of stowing away on a plane out of St. Louis to attend a music festival in Texas faces a federal charge. 33-year-old Catherine "Cat" Chow was on the standby list for an American Airlines flight from St. Louis to Austin. When she found out the flight was full, Chow snuck onto the plane and hid in the bathroom. A flight attendant finally discovered that the woman didn't have a ticket, and Chow was arrested in Austin. She was trying to get to the city's annual South by Southwest Festival.

    HOUSTON (Reuters) - Commander Eileen Collins said astronauts on shuttle Discovery had seen widespread environmental destruction on Earth and warned on Thursday that greater care was needed to protect natural resources. Her comments came as NASA pondered whether to send astronauts out on an extra spacewalk to repair additional heat-protection damage on the first shuttle mission since the 2003 Columbia disaster. Discovery is linked with the International Space Station and orbiting 220 miles above the Earth. "Sometimes you can see how there is erosion, and you can see how there is deforestation. It's very widespread in some parts of the...

    On Friday, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann cited a study by Professor Steven F. Freeman called "Unexplained Exit Poll Discrepancy" to prove voter fraud in Ohio. This study is now making the rounds on many Democrat conspiracy websites. What Olbermann neglected to say was that Professor Freeman is an anti-Bush liberal activist and member of an anti-war group.
