The scores of crisp American and District of Columbia flags sailing above Pennsylvania Avenue are a traditional sign of a coming presidential inauguration. This year, there are some new indicators: Thousands of armed troops and police officers, blocked-off streets and miles of barricade fencing. The bustle of the nation’s capital before an inauguration has been replaced with the eerie quiet of a city in lockdown. The deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Trump has turned pre-inaugural Washington into a secured encampment, one that has drawn comparisons with Baghdad’s Green Zone where foreign embassies are...

Parkland student Jaclyn Corin encouraged protesters to “keep screaming at your congressman” so they will listen to pleas for gun control after the deadly shooting at her high school. Corin was one of many Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student organizers who developed the "March for Our Lives" rally in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. “There is strength in numbers and we need each and every one of you to keep screaming at your congressman,” Corin said. “Don’t be scared just because they have ‘Senator’ in front of their name.” Corin hit Congress for refusing to act despite American deaths to...

EliasÂ’ statement: Â…we have quietly taken a number of steps in the last two weeks to rule in or out any possibility of outside interference in the vote tally in...

President Barack Obama’s network, its members say, holds so much potential because they still feel bound by his stirring message of hope and change. | John Shinkle/POLITICO President Barack Obama told his most loyal operatives that they have 10 days to get over their grief. They’re already ahead of schedule. In the past week, Obama alumni have planned gatherings at Glascott’s Saloon in Chicago (an old campaign haunt) and The Winslow in New York. In Washington, they’re meeting in hotel lobbies, 14th Street bars, nonprofits’ conference rooms and living rooms, plotting the resistance over beer and hummus. ...snip... Obama is...

Liberals who worked so hard to elect Hillary Clinton, unsurprisingly view Trump’s victory as a “cataclysm.” The Democracy Alliance, a club of liberal donors and activists, chose to meet in Washington, D.C. to address the “terrifying assault” President Donald Trump could have on its “progressive vision.” Politico reported the schedule of events for the Nov. 13-16, Democracy Alliance conference. The list read like a Who’s Who of George Soros connections. Soros himself, who spent at least $25 million supporting Clinton’s failed presidential bid, will speak the last day of the conference. Soros also gave at least $118,901,567 between 2000 and...

George Soros’ direct involvement in spreading the unrest in the United States triggered by the recent victory of Donald Trump amid the US elections is hardly a secret to anyone now. A financial analyst of Live Trading News, Paul Ebeling, is convinced that the Clintons, who both received millions of dollars in campaign contributions and Clinton Foundation donations from George Soros, were, in fact, helping to launch Soros’s Purple Revolution in America.

The pictures from Kyrgyz capital Bishkek - the morning after "Democratic Revolution"

Exactly one week ago, on Jabnuary 28th, the daily Rasmussen tracking poll of President Bush’s job approval showed Bush with a negative 46%-52% job approval split. After last weekend’s wildly successful elections ni Iraq and equally successful State of the Union speech, the numbers have turned around completely. BUSH JOB APPROVAL Approve 54% Disapprove 45% But the Democrats don’t need to worry because they will always be able to claim that Bush is the first President to have a net job loss during his first…what?…that is no longer true either? Oh never mind. Well they will at least have Howard...

MYRIAM MARQUEZ: DON'T DISMISS CHANGES FOR IRAQI WOMEN Ever since Safia Taleb al-Suhail triumphantly lifted her purple finger at President Bush in Congress -- signaling women's right to vote in a new Iraq -- the critics have wagged a finger back purporting that nothing will change. Oh, really? Where else in the Middle East do women make up almost a third of the parliament? Because that's what happened in Iraq's elections. It includes 45 women among the 140 members of the Shiite party blessed by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, hardly known as a liberal. In all, 31 percent of the...
