Michelle’s Speech: What the Devil Ordered Psychological manipulation at its finest To the progressive Left, political speeches are not about truth and justice but, rather, psychological manipulation. Last night, Michelle Obama's speech was a shining example. The former first lady delivered her much-anticipated speech Monday night at the virtual Democratic National Convention, and the devil must have been elated. "I am here tonight because I love this country with all my heart," Obama began. The remark was possibly an attempt to nullify her 2008 anti-American rant, during which she revealed, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm proud of my country." Michelle's speech was brilliant. It's...

enator Mitt Romney (R-UT) criticized the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic Friday during video an interview with the Sutherland Institute. Romney said, “I think it’s fair to say we really have not distinguished ourselves in a positive way by how we responded to the crisis when it was upon us. And the proof of the pudding of that is simply that we have 5 percent of the world’s population but 25 percent of the world’s deaths due to COVID-19. And there’s no way to spin that in a positive light.”

Wednesday on MSNBC, House Intelligence Committee chair Rep.

They forget the impeachment was about a dirty election trick. A dirty election trick is something you and I talked about I think a week ago with the intelligence that you have had that you like Americans to find out about, but you...

Aquinas says that it was fitting for Christ to be manifested in his glory to his select Apostles, because those who walk an arduous path need a clear sense of the goal of their journey. The arduous path is this life, with all of its attendant sufferings, failures, disappointments, and injustices. Beset by all of this negativity,...

McCain to turn over the dossier in the first place to the FBI.""I do know that it’s nearly four years ago and I don’t understand why our focus isn’t on what’s happening right now and today. That’s the investigation I’d like to see," she said. Bartiromo asked about the origins of the Steele dossier: "What’s happening...

Former national security adviser John Bolton on Tuesday accused Democrats of having taken the “opportunity” of the impeachment inquiry and having driven it “straight into a ditch” by turning it into a partisan fight.

But on Tuesday he blamed Democrats for the outcome of the process, saying they’d turned it into a “partisan war.”

Colorado Governor Jared Polis came under fire this weekend after he called state residents who do not wear masks to curb the spread of the new coronavirus, "selfish bastards."
