“With all due respect, you really don’t know what you’re talking about,” Pelosi told Blitzer, acknowledging that her Democratic chairs — who also came out against the GOP offer — stood behind her decision. “So do a service to the issue and have some level of respect for the people who have worked on these issues, written the bill to begin with.” Blitzer then asked Pelosi […]
Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) questioned Judge Amy Coney Barrett on Tuesday on her use of the term “sexual preference” during her Supreme Court confirmation hearing, instead of the politically correct term “sexual orientation.” The term “preference” implies a degree of choice, whereas current intellectual orthodoxy in the LGBTQ community considers sexuality and gender identity to be inherent.

(Natural News) To hear Democrats and their propagandists in the ‘mainstream media’ tell it, the most pressing domestic security threat our country faces comes from “right-wing extremist” groups. Nazis, skinheads, KKK members, and one of the newest — the Boogaloo Boys — number in the tens of millions, are all white males, and are just itching to unleash on America. These same Democrats and media propagandists […]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lost her cool on Tuesday during an interview with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, calling the veteran newsman a Republican “apologist” and claiming he didn’t know what he was “talking about” after he pressed her over the long-stalled stimulus package.

At the height of Israel’s preoccupation with the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and the increased internal criticism of the government’s failure to deal with it and stop its spread, internal protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have intensified, and calls for his resignation have increased.

If a major event happened in the United States or even overseas this year, the Army National Guard probably had a piece of it. The Guard responded for overseas operations, hurricanes, wildfires and other disasters and multiple civil unrest scenarios that required quick-reaction forces to back up local police departments. All of that came, of course, in the midst and, of course, the unprecedented impact of […]

The Senate Judiciary Committee began day two of their confirmation hearing for Trump Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. As expected, Democrat Senators are using this hearing as an opportunity to abuse Amy Coney Barrett, a devout Catholic and mother of seven who is already a vetted judge. There’s stupid, and then there’s Democrat Senator Mazie Hirono (HI). Hirono on Tuesday asked Amy Coney Barrett if […]

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Tuesday suggested the FBI and CIA are attempting to cover up something “embarrassing” in their emails regarding the Russia scandal.

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden talked nonsensically about Alzheimer’s disease during another boring and halting campaign speech Tuesday. Speaking before a small crowd of seniors in Sanford, Florida, Biden went off on a bizarre tangent about Alzheimer’s, while appearing to suffer from some symptoms of the disease himself. “If we do not find an answer to Alzheimer’s, within the next 19 years every single solitary bed […]
Happy Columbus Day America! Are you celebrating yet? Do you think Columbus is a great man or a mythological creation of history to support conquest?

The US has signed a treaty with seven countries governing exploration and exploitation of the Moon and its resources.

In a March speech to the 2010 Legislative Conference for the National Association of […]

After spending hours swatting away Democratic questions about her personal judicial views, Judge Amy Coney Barrett made a significant admission on Tuesday afternoon: that she did not consider the landmark Roe v.
