This is how Trump handled Russians. Mike Pompeo, the head of the CIA and President Donald Trump's nominee for secretary of state, confirmed on Thursday that the US military killed hundreds of Russians in an intense fight in Syria. The US had previously only confirmed killing 100 or so pro-Syrian regime forces, but multiple outlets reported the number was as high as 300 and that the soldiers were Russian military contractors.

Two reports caught my eye this week.One: In 2007, 90 percent of evangelicals said their church forbid (63 percent) or strongly discouraged (27 percent) “homosexual behaviors.” In 2020, that figure has dropped to 65 percent (33.7 percent forbid, while 31.4 percent strongly discourage). Two: In 2008, 34.4 percent of evangelicals between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five supported same-sex marriage. In 2018, that figure had risen to 56.1 percent. Could this data be related? Are evangelical churches changing their position on same-sex marriage to align with and attract younger adults? Are younger evangelicals changing their position on same-sex marriage because...

The majority of polls show Barack Obama poised for a healthy victory in the presidential election A raft of new polls ahead of tomorrow’s historic presidential election show Barack Obama cementing his lead over John McCain – except for one survey that showed the Arizona senator narrowing the gap on his Democratic rival.

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com Rush at the Warner Theatre in Washington BEGIN TRANSCRIPT Thank you all very much. Can everybody hear me all right? Good. Before we get started, ladies and gentlemen, to show everybody that I, and all of us, can turn over a new leaf (sigh). By the way, I'm staying at the Four Seasons, and I saw Nancy Pelosi in there this afternoon. (laughter) She looked surprised to see me, but she always looks surprised. (laughter and applause) I was very busy today. I didn't have a chance to turn on the television 'til about four o'clock, and that's the...

£4bn wiped off value of online gambling shares after US law change Around £4 billion was wiped off the value of online gaming stocks today after a controversial move to prevent internet gambling in the United States. Shares in the sector tumbled by as much as 80 per cent as investors reacted with dismay to new laws in the US which ban banks and credit card companies from processing payments to online casinos. The legislation was a major blow for firms such as Party Poker owner PartyGaming and 888 Holdings, which rely heavily on the US for business. The two...

I wonder if America is called a terrorist organization now days. In my opinion we literally are. If you look at it from a perspective. We tell countries what they can and what they can't do. If they don't abide we basically go to war with them and change their government and maybe to an extent their culture for them. Is this not a form of terrorism? To force a country to do something against their will. In my opinion it is, but that's just me. An it's not just with Iran and Iraq, which are recent acts of this,...

I am not from this country, but I have worked here for a number of years. I just want to say I appreciate your great President. I say this here because I know you appreciate him, too. I came here acroos the border with nothing, but have found many jobs in the agricultural, manufacturing and construction industry that paid far more than what I could have made in Mexico. I am thankful Senor Bush has let me work without having to pay any taxes. That has been helpful. I had my wife brought across the border and we have had...

Do you have a "Support the Troops" sticker on your car? How do you support our troops? What do you do differently since the war started? Has your suffering increased the way it has for our troops and Iraqi citizens in harm's way? Ask your grandparents what did they did when WW2 was going on? Did their president ask them to take more vacations to Disneyland to help our economy after Pearl Harbor was bombed? If you believe we are in Iraq becasue Al Queda hates freedom, I've got some land in FL to sell you. If you really want...

To all good people of countries other than the US- WE are now officially a rogue nation- please don’t blame the citizens of the US as we have been taken over by Nazis. Trust us, we are more frightened than you. There is no possible way that Bush is the most popular president ever. There is no way that he won this election. It is a lie, supported by fraudulent elections and corrupt government officials. There is no popular support for Bush, only Bush freepers on the net paid for by homeland security to convince other nations and naive US...

You all took turns laughing because I am an extreme left, but I laugh at you because you people proved me right. You delete remarks for no other reason but you don't like the thoughts expressed, (though mine was left for assument) inactivate my account, and preach free speech for all. My words weren't for the purpose of starting a war, only to say, "hey, what do you think about this?" I didn't get one intellgent arugment. Name calling yes, insults yes, nothing thought provoking. So you cane prove me right yet again, and delete this post and inactivate my...

Exactly why are you retards happy that this Cokehead chimp is back? Do Conservatives like escalating budget deficits? I guess so. Do Conservatives like pointless wars initiated by lies? I guess so. You really must love outsourced jobs and a crappy economy. You are probably too stupid to realize how the country is now screwed. To hell with all of you.

Following is the full English transcript of Usama bin Ladin's speech in a videotape sent to Aljazeera. In the interests of authenticity, the content of the transcript, which appeared as subtitles at the foot of the screen, has been left unedited. Praise be to Allah who created the creation for his worship and commanded them to be just and permitted the wronged one to retaliate against the oppressor in kind. To proceed: Peace be upon he who follows the guidance: People of America this talk of mine is for you and concerns the ideal way to prevent another Manhattan, and...

I was just wondering how many freepers believe in global warming? What do you think about it?

Jay: We have a special guest: Arnold Schwarzenegger, star of the reprehensible Terminator movies. Arnold: Jay, my new film is a mixture of action and comedy. It's called "Terminator: Let's Get Silly". [cut to clip from movie showing Terminator with a microphone in front of a brick wall] Terminator: Did you ever notice how men always leave the toilet seat up? [pause] That's the joke. Man: [from audience] You suck, Terminator! [Terminator pulls a machine gun and fires into the audience] Terminator: Now, my Woody Allen impression: I'm a neurotic nerd who likes to sleep with little girls. Man: [from...
