Iran shot off more than a dozen missiles at two military bases in Iraq that house U.S. troops, ratcheting tensions but injuring or killing no one -- and now Iran is warning America: Respond and it's war. Well, isn't that a pot calling the kettle black moment. America, on Iran, must not retreat.
Forty died and more than 200 were injured during funeral services for the killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Don't know about funerals in your neck of the woods. But typically, in more civilized section, stampedes and angry rallying and loud vows to kill Americans and attack U.S. spots are not part and parcel of the whole funeral procession experience.
Christmas is over, New Year's has ended, 2020 has begun, and what's on the table for Congress is the same that was set last year by Democrats in the House -- impeachment. And that's curious because, in the words of Democrats, impeaching President Donald Trump was a national security must-do, must-do right now.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, in a sit-down with Chris Wallace of Fox News, laid out in precise terms exactly why America is in the right, Iran is in the wrong, and Gen. Qaddem Soleimani, head of the dastardly Quds force, had it coming when President Donald Trump's drone strike took him out and killed him. And then he gave the Best. Line. Ever.
Rose McGowan, Hollywood actress, model, author and lately, political activist, has taken to Twitter Extreme to call out America as the evil empire to Iran's blooming innocence, outright apologizing to the terrorist regime for President Donald Trump's takedown of the Revolutionary Guard's Gen. Qassem Soleimani. So Rose: Move to Iran.
The United Methodist Church said its organization is going to break into two factions over the issues of LGBTQ rights and same-sex marriage. That's not really a surprise. What is a surprise is that a church, any church, can get by with calling itself a place of Christian worship while scoffing basic biblical teachings of sin and God's will.
Iran-backed forces attacked Americans at the U.S. Embassy in Iraq, President Donald Trump sent in the airstrikes and killed Quds force chief Gen. Qassem Soleimani at Baghdad International Airport, and now Iran's crying foul, vowing "harsh retaliation" and so forth and so on. But note to Iran: This is not the Barack Obama administration.
Joe Biden told a bunch of rally-goers in Derry, New Hampshire, that coal miners, many of whom live and work in the area, ought to stop all this coal mining nonsense and get with the 21st century program and learn a new trade, a cleaner trade, a more environmentally sound trade -- like coding. What an elitist, entitled, arrogant snob.
A new red flag gun law just took effect in Colorado giving family members and law enforcement officials the authority to petition a judge to strip an individual's Second Amendment rights based on concerns of mental fitness. And well-intentioned as that law might be -- it stems from the fatal shooting of a sheriff's deputy by a mentally deranged man -- it's still unconstitutional. It's still wrong.
It's bad enough we've got a highly partisan impeachment hunt being led by highly anti-Donald Trump partisans whose sole purpose in political life is to disrupt this White House and boot the president from office. But how about those taxpayers? How about the taxpayers footing this impeachment bill? Well on that, we just don't know.
Two people were killed and another wounded in Texas after a man wearing a fake beard, wig, hat and long coat entered a church in the community of White Settlement, pulled out a shotgun and began firing. Tragic and horrible as that is -- it could've been much worse. The gunman was stopped in his tracks by a gun-carrying church-goer.
Sen. Doug Jones rose to political power in 2018 to become the first Democrat U.S. senator to be elected from Alabama in 25 years, in a state that also voted for Donald Trump for president by almost 28 percentage points in 2016. And his journey down is about to take place just as rapidly.
Yale psychiatrist Bandy X. Lee, in an interview with Salon, called on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to "submit" President Donald Trump "to an involuntary evaluation" -- giving Americans, in one fell swoop, one big weighty reason to regard the entire field of mental health therapy with at least a modicum of suspicion.
Democratic members on the House Judiciary Committee, sad because Speaker Nancy Pelosi gets to hold the articles and they don't have any left, have gone back to court to petition for information from former White House Counsel Don McGahn and on grand jury testimony tied to Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation.
Pope Francis on Christmas called for a softening of "self-centered hearts" to help migrants -- to basically drop the border walls and let these people in. His remarks may have packed more punch if he didn't deliver them from the fortified St. Peter's Basilica, while gazing from a secure Vatican balcony, 200 feet or so above the assembled fray.
Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. is too "mentally erratic" to serve in any capacity in the Senate's hearing of the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, said Rep. Mo Brooks, Republican from Alabama, in a recent interview on WVNN radio that was reported by Breitbart. He's got a point.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi may think she's strategizing with brilliance by letting the articles of impeachment stand in limbo in the House as she tries to wrest control and tell the Senate how to operate. But out here in the real world, in the place where politicians infrequently tread and barely dare go, Americans aren't impressed.
Talk radio great and Fox News host Mark Levin, on his Facebook page, called for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to "put an end" to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's politically motivated hold-up of the impeachment articles, by declaring the whole matter "null and void." That's one way of making clear the nonsense of the Dems has come to an end.
Christianity Today's editor-in-chief Mark Galli penned a scathing commentary against President Donald Trump, saying he should be removed from office. The mainstream media is loving this because it gives an appearance of Trump's loss of the evangelicals. But Galli is wrong. And he's hardly representative of the Christian view.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi took the unprecedented action of holding the articles of impeachment she and her Democratic cohorts fabricated in the House, until -- get this -- the Senate agreed to what she termed as a "fair trial." Pelosi has gone rogue.
