The third part of the Corona (Chinese Wuhan) virus has been twice stalled today by democrats. It was reported that last night that an agreement between Republicans and Democrats was reached on the relief bill. Instead, democrats pulled a a bait and switch with their own bill.

As the White House Coronavirus Task Force gave a press conference on Saturday, Trump told reporters that he decided to take the test in response to Friday's press conference where the president declared a state of national emergency. "By the way, I had my temperature taken coming into the room," Trump prefaced his statement to reporters. "I also took the test last night. And I decided I should based on the press conference yesterday." After declaring a national emergency to combat the pandemic on Friday,...

The Bernie Bros are vowing revenge. As the presidential campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders continues to crash and burn, the socialist’s most hard-core supporters are vowing they will never vote for Joe Biden at the ballot box — even if that means handing Trump a second term. “We will never – NEVER boost or support Joe Biden or defend his abysmal record and terrible policy positions,” Henry Williams, executive director of The Gravel Institute, told The Post. “We will tell people, as we always have, to vote their conscience and to make decisions based on the interests of all the...

Have you heard of the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF)? They’re a herd of control freaks who dedicate their free time to harassing and bullying devout Christians out of public view and back into the closets whence they came. The modus operandi of these self-described "free thinkers" is as follows: A small town has a religious monument on public land. It's been there since the Battle of Brandywine. Of the town's 3,000 residents, 2,999 have no problem whatsoever with it. But a single perpetually offended milksop will whimper to the FFRF that its presence is somehow obliterating his constitutional rights....

Anyone who voted for more witnesses must vote for acquittal. A person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. If you need more evidence than the case has not been proven and you would have to vote for acquittal. Also, if you voted for more witnesses to make your decision - you are saying the house did not do their job.

Democrats PANIC As Democrat Voters Vow To Vote Trump, The "Never Bernie" Movement Taking Over. Establishment Democrats and big ticket Donors are panicking as the "Never Bernie" movement starts to become a thing. The strange conundrum facing Democrats is that no matter which primary candidate loses a decent portion of their base will defect to the Republicans and Donald Trump. Yang voters might vote Trump or just sit it out if he loses the primary. Bernie voters are already warning that only Bernie can defeat Trump while the "Never Bernie" Democrats state they will either not vote or support Trump...

President Trump said in an interview broadcast Sunday that he thinks Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is a communist. Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Trump in an interview that aired prior to Super Bowl LIV for quick reactions to a number of Democratic presidential candidates, including Sanders. "I think he’s a communist. I mean, you know, look, I think of communism when I think of Bernie," Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity. "Now, you could say socialist, but didn’t he get married in Moscow?" Trump added, with Hannity interjecting to note Sanders went to the former Soviet Union on...

The MSM released the full 90-minute tape of the President’s ‘meeting’ at the Trump Hotel with Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman in attendance. The video is not of a meeting as the MSM portrayed it. It’s a casual, private dinner with light conversation. In fact, it’s amazingly uneventful. The President listened, asked questions, and joked. This appears to be a fundraiser with donors. It’s harmless and Trump didn’t say anything he doesn’t always say. He didn’t even know what business all these people are in and had to ask during the conversations. He might well not remember Parnas and Fruman....

Donald Trump blamed Barack Obama on Wednesday for supplying Iran with the money to purchase a torrent of missiles fired at American military positions Tuesday night. “The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration,” he said, citing $150 billion in frozen assets that the previous president released and $1.5 billion flown by the U.S. to Tehran. […] “Our missiles are big, powerful, accurate, lethal and fast,” he said, sending a warning in nearly the same breath as an olive branch. “Under construction are many hypersonic missiles,”...

Before the holidays, if you remember, the House of Representatives voted to impeach the president on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The vote came months after a whistleblower complaint that alleged Trump tried to use the power of the presidency to coerce Ukraine to investigate the Bidens for his own political interests. President Trump and his associates maintain his request was not politically motivated and that he wanted to root out corruption. According to a few Republican lawmakers, the campaign against the president was a sleazy, sleazy process. And the main culprit, they alleged , is House Speaker...

A former Navy SEAL accused of war crimes by his colleagues denounced videos on Friday depicting their confessions painting him as “evil” and out of control. The New York Times published video segments of Naval Criminal Investigative Service interviews with Special Operators 1st Class Craig Miller, Joshua Vriens, and Corey Scott on Friday, wherein they alleged Gallagher shot at civilians and killed an injured ISIS fighter. Gallagher and his lawyer, Tim Parlatore, told the Washington Examiner the videos have been taken out of context and are an attempt to relitigate Gallagher’s case in the court of public opinion. “My first...

They’ve finally done it. After three years of threats, investigations, and fake scandals, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has finally launched an “official” effort to impeach and remove President Donald J. Trump from office. The Democrat-controlled House Judiciary Committee approved two articles of impeachment last week, and the full House is expected to vote today to impeach President Trump. But President Trump is not the real target — you and I and the policy gains we’ve made are. Your values and mine keep advancing in Washington, D.C. as never before with President Trump’s pro-life, pro-family, pro-religious liberty agenda. So, liberals in...

Republicans had plenty to say about the Democrats' "unfair" impeachment process on Wednesday during the House debate on two articles of impeachment, but Rep. Debbie Lesko's (R-AZ) take was a bit louder and a bit more personal. The congresswoman absolutely tore into her Democratic colleagues over what she called a partisan, unprecedented vendetta against President Trump. Rep. Debbie Lesko Sounds Off on Democrats and Impeachment Process"About 30 years ago, I was married to an abusive ex-husband," Lesko began. "And when I finally left him, there were times in my life I had no money and no place to live. And...

The president claimed that he's heard rumors that his 2016 rival...

It's crystal clear that the Democratic Party does not feel that we, the American people, have a right to elect who we choose. They feel, from their position of smugly assumed superiority, that we, the deplorable masses, made the wrong choice. They have worked tirelessly to abrogate and void the election of Donald Trump. This included billionaire funded recounts in 4 states, attempting to corrupt the vote in the Electoral Collage, the spying operation against Trump that began soon after his nomination, the promoting of false narratives, leaking to the press, insubordination from Democratic federal employees, lying to obtain warrants,...
