If someone with the computer talent could take the first part of this old movie clip and edit into or after a Biden touchy gaff it would make for great humor and would likely go viral. I don't have the talent.

Bezos — a self-described “family man” — has been whisking his mistress off to exotic destinations on his $65 million private jet, sending her raunchy messages and erotic selfies — including one steamy picture too explicit to print here — and having secret rendezvous at palatial private estates. During a blockbuster four-month investigation, The ENQUIRER tracked Bezos, who turns 55 on Jan. 12, and secret lover Sanchez across five states and 40,000 miles, tailed them in private jets, swanky limos, helicopter rides, romantic hikes, five-star hotel hideaways, intimate dinner dates and “quality time” in hidden love nests.

I've been wondering for quite a while about the practical and legal difficulties surrounding the concept of compiling a carefully curated, distributed list of leftist vermin and then officially notifying them via registered mail and other legally recognized methods that they're persona non grata on the grounds of my private property and my own company and on the grounds of a fair number of other participating private property owners, sole proprietorships, and corporations. Obviously, notorious leftist vermin such as Morris Dees, Oprah Winfrey, Nancy Pelosi, Charles Schumer, Louis Farrakhan, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and hundreds of others would be...

It wouldn't be Christmas without some local-government official banning the display of a Nativity scene on public property. In this latest case, the church displaying the crèche had already received permission and had a 1984 Supreme Court ruling that such displays are legal as long as other non-religious or non-sectarian symbols are allowed. But what if no one else cares to put up an alternate display of competing symbols? According to these bureaucrats, the burden falls on the church ...

CTH has received multiple requests for a review of predictable consequences as a result of the midterm election. Thankfully, and perhaps unfortunately, we have solid references to base these predictions on – because there’s a solid frame of reference from the 2006 midterm and the subsequent consequences we saw in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010. If we take the empirical 2006 example as the starting point and overlay the 2018 landscape to modernize the predictive model, what results is a most likely scenario. First, any intellectually honest review must overlay the current political environment. In 2018 the scale of unchecked lawless...

As I tossed a bunch more political mass mailed flyers into trash today i wondered maybe I should have marked them return to sender and have the pacs and liberal/leftist groups sending them pay return postage? Some thing maybe useful for next elections because I'm being innudated with their large cardstock mailings in my state and I'd guess others of you are as well? As a registered undeclared/Independent voter I used to get mailings looking for donations and I would seal and return the postage paid envelopes empty so they had to pay return postage.

As calls mount from both the left and the right for Democratic state Rep. Jovan Melton to step down from his House District 41 seat in Aurora, supporters, including former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb, argued Thursday that a double standard is being applied to Melton by the leadership of the Democratic-controlled Colorado House and the Colorado Democratic Party chair, Morgan Carroll. ... Webb ... called out the leadership of the Democratic Party ... “Jim Crow system of justice” and a “political lynching” of Melton. And while they didn’t go so far as to tell African American voters not to vote...

The 7-2 decision said it may be possible for states to restrict stridently political T-shirts and buttons, but the justices said Minnesota didn’t justify why its law needed to be so broad.

Californians likely will vote in November on a long-shot referendum to split their giant state into three – a measure that, while standing little chance of success, would represent a political gift to Democrats. Such a California breakup would upset the political balance in the Senate if it actually happened, and hurt the GOP. According to a Fox News analysis of county-level voting data, splitting California as outlined would create two solid blue states and one leaning blue state. That could very well mean four extra Senate seats for Democrats – plus four more electoral votes in presidential elections. So...
