Not So Shocking Report: Record Number Of Guns Sold As Dems Vow To Disintegrate Rights

In a not so surprising report, the FBI conducted a record number of background checks for gun sales in 2019. All of these gun purchases ramp up every time democrats open their mouths voicing support to disintegrating the rights of the people.

The FBI carried out a record 28 million background checks on firearms purchases in 2019, as Americans rushed to buy weapons amid calls by wealthy elitists in Hollywood and Democrat politicians for tougher gun laws.
According to FBI data, 28,369,750 background checks were performed in 2019, smashing the previous record of 27 million in 2016. The agency ran 202,465 checks on Black Friday alone. The Christmas period was a festive one for firearms retailers, with just under three million checks carried out in December, the second-highest month since the National Instant Criminal Background Check System began in 1998. –RT
“Americans are choosing to invest their hard-earned dollars in their ability to exercise their rights and buy the firearms they want before gun control politicians attempt to regulate away that ability,” a spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation told the Associated Press in December.

BOMBSHELL: Book to Reveal How Biden Family Siphoned ‘Millions in Taxpayer Cash’

A forthcoming bombshell book will reveal how five members of Joe Biden’s family—the “Biden Five”—siphoned tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer cash and guaranteed loans. And the recent scandals involving Joe and Hunter Biden, Ukraine, and Burisma are just “the tip of the iceberg,” say sources close to the publisher.

The upcoming book, Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite, is the latest investigative work from Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President and Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer.

Publisher HarperCollins has the book under a strict embargo until its January 21 release. Sources with knowledge of its contents say the book will “upend official Washington,” similar to the way Schweizer’s past works like Clinton Cash and Secret Empires did when he broke the Uranium One and Biden-Burisma scandals.

Beyond the Biden revelations, Profiles in Corruption also contains chapters with breaking news on top progressive luminaries.

How Weak. Mindless Socialist AOC Calls GOP Rep a “Racist” for Pointing Out Squad Members Support Ayatollahs over America

On Wednesday Trump administration officials briefed members of Congress on the 90 Iranian attacks on US assets in the past two months and on the credible intelligence they had regarding Al Quds Leader Qassem Soleimani’s planned attack on the US Embassy in Iraq.

Following the briefing far left Rep. Jayapal accused President Trump of “recklessly” “assassinating” the world’s top terrorist Soleimani.


Following Rep. Jayapal’s dishonest statements to the media Republican Rep. John Rutherford (R-FL) accused the Democrat “Squad” of being Ayatollah sympathizers.
This seems pretty fair considering the liberl outrage at Soleimani’s targeted killing.

High school intern discovers new planet at Maryland's NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

WASHINGTON (WJLA) — A high school student interning at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt this past summer discovered a bit more than how the employees there take their coffee. He discovered a planet.

Wolf Cukier's job, after he finished his junior year at Scarsdale High School in New York, was to examine variations in star brightness captured by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

TESS has four cameras, which each take a full-frame image of a patch of the sky every 30 minutes for 27 days, NASA says. Scientists use the observations to generate graphs of how the brightness of stars change over time.

NOTE TO DEMOCRATS: Obama Launched 2,800 Strikes On Iraq, Syria Without Congressional Approval

After President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to take out Iran’s secretive Quds Force commander, Qassem Suleimani, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said the president should have asked for permission from Congress before conducting the airstrike.

“The Administration has conducted tonight’s strikes in Iraq targeting high-level Iranian military officials and killing Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani without an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against Iran. Further, this action was taken without the consultation of the Congress,” she said Thursday night in a statement.

She also said “The full Congress must be immediately briefed on this serious situation and on the next steps under consideration by the Administration, including the significant escalation of the deployment of additional troops to the region.”

Early Feminists Were Right About Unborn Human Life

Although they were considered radical at the time, American suffragists were unrelenting in their efforts to transform our country’s politics and empower women with the right to vote.

The year 2020 marks the centennial of their victory in that battle, and while it is an occasion to celebrate, it is also a reminder that we must continue the work of these early feminists.

In addition to voting rights, suffragists championed abolition, equality in education, equal pay for equal work, and the right to life for the unborn.

Unlike many radical feminists of the second half of the 20th century and into the 21st century, these women realized that abortion does not empower women. In honor of these suffragists, the theme for the 47th annual March for Life is “Life Empowers: Pro-Life Is Pro-Woman.”

CNBC: 61% of Americans say there's too much economic inequality in the U.S.

A majority of Americans agree that the unequal distribution of income and opportunity in the U.S. has gotten to be too much.

Economic inequality in the U.S. is rising. It has increased exponentially since the 1980s, according to a new Pew Research Center report on the topic. In 1980, the households that ranked in the top 10% of earners had about nine times the income as those in the bottom 10% of earners. In 2018, the top 10% of earners had about 12.6 times more than households at the bottom. That's a 39% increase, according to Pew.

Those demographic changes have become a rallying cry for several politicians seeking the Democrat presidential nomination, so it's no surprise that more Democrats see this as a major issue than Republicans. About 78% of those who identify as Democrats say there's too much economic inequality, while about 41% of Republicans agree, according to the Pew Research Center survey.

CIA Director Haspel Backed Killing, Predicted Missile Attacks

CIA director Gina Haspel foresaw the Iranian missile attack on two Iraqi military bases housing U.S. troops but said that killing Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani was worth the risk.

The New York Times published a detailed look at the hours leading up to Wednesday's strike, in which Iran fired more than a dozen ballistic missiles toward targets in Iraq. No one was hurt or killed in the incident, which U.S. officials believe was a result of intelligence received before the strike took place.

According to the Times, Haspel told President Donald Trump days before Soleimani was killed in a U.S. drone strike last week that taking him out and dealing with the expected retaliation from Iran posed a lower threat than leaving him alive to plot more attacks against the U.S. and its allies.

What's more, Haspel said that Iran would likely respond to Soleimani's killing by sending a barrage of missiles at Iraqi military bases — which is exactly what happened Tuesday night.

Haspel also said that a world without Soleimani — who led Iran's elite Quds Force, which handles military and spying operations in foreign countries — would lead to a more stable situation in the Middle East.

Church members tackle man trying to force his way inside

Baptist church congregants in North Carolina reportedly tackled a man who they say attempted to force his way inside during services last Sunday.

"He was reaching back in his pants and I just felt like he had a gun or ill intent, and at that point, I knew I could not let him back inside," Macedonia Free Will Baptist Church member Kevin Toler, told WXII-TV.

Toler and another church member brought the suspect, identified as Christopher Bennett, to the ground in the incident caught on surveillance video outside of Vanceboro, N.C.

Bennett was arrested by Craven County deputies who used a taser on him, WITN-TV reported. Officers said he continued to be combative and seemed to be under the influence of drugs.

Dry January a wellspring for booze-free beverages

Booze is out and “sober curiosity” is in as people around the world participate in Dry January and voluntarily abstain from alcohol for the month.

Whether it’s for a New Year’s resolution or for health reasons, Americans have jumped aboard the Dry January bandwagon, which originated in Britain.

“What a better time than right after the holidays, which is traditionally a very boozy time of year for people, to sort of have a reset,” said Laura Silverman, a Rockville, Maryland, resident who launched BoozeFreeInDC.com and has led a sober lifestyle for 12 years.

White House: War Powers Resolution undermines U.S. Armed Forces ability to prevent terrorist activity

According to the White House, the War Powers Resolution passed in the House undermines the ability of U.S. Armed Forces to prevent terrorist activity from Iran. The Trump administration issued the statement Thursday, stating that the resolution is political, misguided and hinders the President’s right to protect the American people.

This comes after the legislation passed in the House Thursday, limiting the President’s powers regarding military action against Iran. The measure passed mostly along party lines in a 224-to-194 vote. House Democrats pushed for the resolution after claiming President Trump should have consulted with Congress on his decision to kill Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.

The President commented on the issue while speaking at a “Keep America Great’ rally in Toledo, Ohio on Thursday. He pointed out that there tends to be a lot of behind-the-scenes corruption as well as leaks to the media.

Trump proposes sweeping rewrite of environmental-impact rules

Environmental red tape and Byzantine permit rules are making it impossible to build in the U.S., President Trump said Thursday in proposing a sweeping regulatory rewrite that would speed up federal approval of bridges, highways, pipelines and other major projects.

The bold move, however, rankled environmentalists and invited legal challenges that would delay the envisioned fast-track approvals.

Flanked by workers in hardhats and construction vests, the president said he was returning America to a time when massive projects were approved and built lickety-split, putting an end to the current bureaucratic regimen that can drag on for decades.

McConnell signs on to bill to start Trump trial over Pelosi objections

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has signed onto a measure that would allow lawmakers to begin President Trump’s impeachment trial without receiving the articles House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is withholding.

McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, is among more than one dozen Republicans who are co-sponsors of a measure authored by Sen. Josh Hawley, a Missouri Republican, authorizing the Senate to begin the trial as early as Monday, or 25 days after the House passed the impeachment articles on Dec. 19.

The measure would require a change to the Senate rules, which is normally authorized with an affirmative vote from 67 senators. A top aide signaled McConnell isn’t going to “go nuclear” and allow a rules change to pass with only 51 votes, so the measure probably cannot pass.

Illegals Learn Nasty Lesson as They Get Stuck on New Trump-Built Border Wall

One of the primary critiques of President Donald Trump’s new border wall is that such a barrier would be ineffective at achieving the stated goal of increasing security.

Specifically, some critics have ludicrously claimed that barriers at the border won’t stop drug traffickers and illegal aliens from entering the country. They argue that at best it would be little more than a costly hindrance that could be rapidly overcome.

This week, however, three illegal aliens from Mexico learned the hard way that the border wall critics were incredibly wrong in that assessment.

The trio of interlopers attempting to sneak into the country ended up trapped atop a section of the 30-foot-tall fence in the San Diego, California, area on Sunday, The Washington Times reported.

Trump asks union boss: 'Would you like the Hunter Biden job?'

President Trump asked a union boss if he would leave his job for one similar to the gig Hunter Biden held on the board of a Ukrainian oil and gas company Thursday during a press conference at the White House.

"Would you like the Hunter Biden job?" Trump, turning from the podium, asked.

One union representative smiled and shook his head "no."

"I know so, but I'm not going to tell him that," Trump joked.

Republicans have pointed to corruption allegations against Hunter Biden, the son of 2020 presidential hopeful Joe Biden, in an attempt to undermine his candidacy.

CNN tries to create a military conspiracy theory

CNN is trying hard to sow doubt in U.S. military leadership after officials confirmed 11 American servicemen are being treated for traumatic brain injuries following Iran’s Jan. 8 missile attack on an Iraqi airbase.

“Breaking,” tweeted Jim Sciutto, chief national security correspondent and former Obama State Department appointee, citing CNN’s reporting, “11 US service-members were injured during Iranian missile attack on Al Asad airbase in Iraq.”

He added, “Following the attack, the Pentagon had said no casualties had resulted from the 16 missiles fired by Iran.”

'Won this one': CNN host says McConnell outmaneuvered Pelosi on impeachment

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has won a political game of chess against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi regarding the next step of the impeachment against President Trump, according to CNN's Alisyn Camerota.

House Democrats passed two articles of impeachment against the president late last year for abuse of power and another on obstruction of Congress following the scandal surrounding his July 25 phone call with the president of Ukraine, during which he asked the foreign leader to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden. Pelosi has since withheld the articles from the Senate, citing her lack of confidence a Senate trial would be fair.

Senate Democrats want to hear from more witnesses during a trial, an idea McConnell has balked at. Republicans on Capitol Hill have argued that Pelosi's hesitation proves the fast-paced House impeachment process was not as urgent as she claimed. The Senate Majority leader said Wednesday he has the votes to amend Senate rules to push ahead with the trial without the articles.

NJ gave Texas church gunman plea deal that wiped out gun felony

The gunman who killed two congregants at a Texas church last month had been charged years earlier with a felony gun offense in New Jersey, where prosecutors later downgraded the crime to a low-level misdemeanor that had nothing to do with firearms.

Since the Dec. 29 shootout at the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas, much has come out about Keith Thomas Kinnunen's criminal record, which seems to follow a pattern: He would get charged with serious, sometimes violent crimes, which later were pleaded down to less-consequential offenses.

While plea deals are common in the criminal justice system in New Jersey and elsewhere, this case raises questions about the effectiveness of laws meant to bar certain people from buying or possessing guns.

Despite Kinnunen's history of mental illness — including a 2012 judge's order declaring him unfit to stand trial — it does not appear his plea deals were enough to trigger legal provisions limiting gun ownership, which would apply in cases involving domestic violence and felonies.

New Jersey becomes second state to adopt law mandating gay and transgender curriculum

A dozen New Jersey schools will be adopting a gay and transgender-focused curriculum set to be implemented statewide in the fall.

Twelve pilot schools will be testing grounds for lessons in history, economics, and grammar with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender contributions.

The law mandates middle and high school students be taught about the contributions of the gay and transgender community throughout history but has left it up to local districts on how to most effectively teach that message.

The program has been met with mixed reviews.

IT BEGINS: Chronic TDS Patients Blame Downed Ukrainian Flight on Trump

News just broke regarding the Ukrainian passenger plane that was shot down in Tehran this week, killing all 176 people on board. Iran refused to hand over the black box from the flight, sparking suspicions over their potential involvement, and now the Pentagon believes as much. According to Fox News, the plane “was shot down by mistake by an Iranian anti-aircraft missile, Pentagon officials told Fox News.” Those dead include 82 Iranians, at least 63 Canadians, and 11 Ukrainians, among others.

Iran is responsible, but do you have an ounce of doubt that liberals will find a way to blame President Donald Trump for it? Of course not – and they already have.

Here’s just a sampling of the craziness on display:

‘We’ve had a huge morning’: Elise Stefanik thanks Washington Post for article condemning her fundraising efforts

Rep. Elise Stefanik thanked the Washington Post for an article criticizing her for using an unflattering photograph of Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a fundraising advertisement.

The New York Republican earned the scorn of a report from the Washington Post after tweeting an “altered photo” of Pelosi while trying to draw attention to her “Pressure Pelosi” fundraising website. The website states, “Democrats have been obsessed with impeaching President Trump since the day he was elected. Now after the sham impeachment in the House, Nancy Pelosi refuses to send the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate!”

Following a retweet of Stefanik’s post from Trump, the Washington Post published an article titled: “Rep. Stefanik tweets altered photo of Pelosi in GOP fundraising appeal.” The report condemned Stefanik for using “a close-up, red-tinted photo of Pelosi, with the lines in the House speaker’s face exaggerated due to the image’s unnaturally high contrast.”

Many found the report to be overblown and pointed out that the photograph that accompanied the Washington Post article was an altered image of Trump. Stefanik, 35, fired off two tweets thanking the outlet for additional coverage of her fundraising efforts.

'Not about removing Trump': Trey Gowdy argues impeachment is Democratic scheme to take Senate

Trey Gowdy said the Democrats' impeachment strategy is an acknowledgment they believe President Trump will be reelected in 2020.

A former Republican congressman from South Carolina, Gowdy argued the Democrats instead are angling to take control of the Senate to rein in Trump.

"The impeachment inquiry, investigation, votes, and ultimate refusal to transmit articles are not about removing Trump from office. Rather, it is a tacit acknowledgment he will be reelected in November of 2020. The plan now is to use impeachment to neuter that second term with a Democrat-controlled Senate," Gowdy said in a Fox News opinion piece published Thursday.

Gowdy, who recently confirmed he will not be a member of the legal team representing Trump during his impeachment trial after some confusion late last year, has been heavily critical of the Democrats' impeachment effort and named the GOP senators he believes are being targeted.

Judicial Watch: New Strzok-Page Emails Reveal DOJ Special Treatment to Clinton Lawyers

Judicial Watch announced that it received 211 pages of emails between former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that detail special accommodations given to the lawyers of Hillary Clinton and her aides during the FBI investigation of the Clinton email controversy.

The new emails include a discussion about negotiations with Beth Wilkinson, a lawyer for the Clinton aides who gathered and then deleted 33,000 emails for Hillary Clinton, over the destruction of laptops provided to the FBI.

The records were obtained in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed after the Justice Department failed to respond to a December 4, 2017, FOIA request.

The FBI is only processing the records at a rate of 500 pages per month and have refused to process text messages. At this rate, the production of these communications won’t be completed for almost another two more years – in late 2021.

In an April 25, 2016, email from Strzok to FBI Agent Jonathan Moffa and other FBI officials, Strzok indicated that Wilkinson and Hillary Clinton lawyer David Kendall were set to meet the following day with FBI/DOJ in the Counter-espionage Section of the FBI.

Nearly 400K Anchor Babies Born in 2019, Exceeding U.S. Births in 48 States

Close to 400,000 anchor babies were born in the United States in 2019 as an executive order to end birthright citizenship gets kicked down the road for another year by President Donald Trump’s administration.

Analysis conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies revealed in 2018 that about 300,000 U.S.-born children of illegal aliens are born every year. These children, often referred to as “anchor babies,” immediately obtain American citizenship and anchor their illegal or foreign parents in the country.

In addition, about 72,000 anchor babies are born to foreign tourists, foreign visa workers, and foreign students every year — all of whom obtain immediate American citizenship simply for being born within the parameters of the country.
