@RandPaulCongratulations to Judge Amy Coney Barrett on her nomination to the Supreme Court. I believe she will make an excellent justice that will serve our country and Constitution well, and I look forward to seeing her confirmed soon.

Hey, so I drive myself crazy watching cams all over the world, particularly Times Square. The way the people are situated and the traffic seems odd. There a quite a bit more people than the last several months and that is exciting but, something about it is off. There is only one cop car, when there had been 6-8 https://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/timessquare/?cam=tstwo_hd

With the Covid-19 health crisis still limiting global movement, participation at the event was mostly virtual as world leaders sent in pre-recorded video messages. The...

An enormous Christian monument, more than twice the size of the Angel of the North, is to be built on the outskirts of Birmingham, fulfilling a vision its instigator says came from God. The Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer will be constructed using a million bricks, each representing a prayer from a member of the public and its outcome. The aim is to “encourage and inspire people going through the storms of life”, said Richard Gamble, the project’s chief executive and a former chaplain of Leicester City football club. The monument, which has been granted planning permission with work to...

Kajillionaire' shows how boomers stole from millennials — and what they'll keep stealing

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Mourners gathered across the country this week to honor the life of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Outside the Supreme Court, fans of the late RBG conducted a stirring, emotional memorial ceremony that ended with a beautiful 21-Molotov Cocktail Salute. "This is our way of honoring our great progressive Justice Ginsburg," said part-time Antifa arsonist Ron Meechan. "We hope that she is watching us from above as we torch this 7-Eleven in her honor. Blessed be her name." Seven shabby figures then stumbled into a line as a nearby comrade played Lady Gaga's "I Was Born This Way" solemnly on...

In MY LATEST VIDEO, I discuss a number of giant moves by President Trump that have shaken our world, and yet are consistently and purposely underplayed, ignored, or attacked by the “mainstream” media. Trump’s Presidency is truly historic! I forgot to mention North Korea: Prior to Trump, it appeared we were headed for a potential NUCLEAR confrontation with them that could have killed tens of millions of people. Trump defused that threat through his friendship with Kin Jong Un. Again, brushed off by the press (some dense people!).

Just YESTERDAY got information on requesting an absentee ballot and I see they've changed the system since 2016 . I am already registered but have to register again and request a ballot which now can't be done online for those of us living abroad so have to print out the form ( I don't have a printer so will have to ask someone to print out for me ) and mail it to Suffolk County , NY . Then they will mail ballot to me and then I have to mail it back to them ! This will take over...

Have you ever heard of the show "Judging Amy" on CBS? It was on from 1999 to 2005... I never watched the show... I thought of that show today because President nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to US Supreme Court...

A Black Lives Matter protest against police brutality and systemic racism was met with a counter-protest and turned violent when a car drove through the crowd in Yorba Linda on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 26. The BLM march took place on Imperial Highway, with counter-protesters gathered along the other side. At one point, the counter-protesters crossed the six-lane highway and confronted the BLM group as they shouted, “Black Lives Matter” and “U.S.A.” Then a white sedan came tearing through the crowd.

Let's see...if my math's correct, he became a Senator about the age of 31? So, he's what, 211 years old now? Wow.....

Former White House chief strategist and accused fraudster Steve Bannon told attendees during a Wednesday night livestream held by the Metropolitan Republican Club that they should sign up as election officials to contest every mail-in ballot in November, as he alleged a think tank called the Transition Integrity Project will “steal” the election from President Trump.

And Senator Lisa Murkowski then jumped in to announce she would not vote for a SCOTUS nominee until after Election Day. Murkowski represents red state Alaska but is a very weak Republican and a huge disappointment to conservatives and Trump voters. But after Judge Amy Coney Barrett was nominated by President Trump on Saturday Senator Murkowski released a statement saying she is willing to meet with Amy Coney Barrett https://youtu.be/pWyB0aMQIOA

Dragonfly is a NASA mission that delivers a rotorcraft to Saturn’s moon Titan to advance our search for the building blocks of life. While Dragonfly was originally scheduled to launch in 2026, NASA has requested the Dragonfly team pursue their alternative launch readiness date in 2027. No changes will be needed to the mission architecture to accommodate this new date, and launching at a later date will not affect Dragonfly’s science return or capabilities once at Titan. The decision to pursue the alternative launch date is based on factors external to the Dragonfly project team, including COVID-19’s impact on the...

Today the blurb below the sidebar on Google's homepage includes a link which says, "Learn more about the history of racial injustice in America." The link promotes the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), a prisoner advocacy group founded by left-wing activist Bryan Stevenson. Following his graduation from Harvard Law School in 1985, Stevenson moved to Atlanta and joined the Southern Center for Human Rights, affiliated with Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Stevenson ran the Center's Montgomery branch, which he converted into EJI in 1989. One action Stevenson took with the center was signing a petition to free convicted...
