By Ronn Blitzer Fox News January 13, 2020 Insight from military analyst Rebecca Grant on what protests mean for the Iranian people and U.S.-Iran relations. Democratic congressional leaders and presidential candidates who were unsparing in their criticism of President Trump for the escalation with Iran over the past two weeks largely have gone silent now that the protests on the streets of Tehran and beyond have turned their rage toward the regime — and not the Trump White House. Even as videos emerged online Monday that purportedly show Iranian police and security forces firing live ammunition to disperse protesters,…
By Brian C Joondeph American Thinker January 13, 2020 Republican voters have lamented for years over the lack of pushback from their elected leaders. Democrats and the media hurl baseless and libelous accusations at Republicans, only to be met with a weak defense at best, or silence at worst. Republicans want to push granny off a cliff, make senior citizens eat dog food, starve children and put them in cages. Republicans are racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, Islamophobic, mean-spirited, and ignorant. Watch any cable news show and get a healthy dose of this garbage. If you don’t like the news,…

Outrage after Jeopardy! host rules Bethlehem not in Palestine By Usaid Siddiqui Al Jazeera January 12, 2020 Popular American game show Jeopardy! has been plunged into controversy after a contestant was told she had the wrong answer after identifying Jesus’s place of birth, the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem, as being in Palestine. The incident took place in round one of the game broadcast on Friday, when Katie Needle was given the clue: “Built in the 300s A.D., the Church of the Nativity,” under the category “Where’s that Church?.” Needle, a retail supervisor from Brooklyn, responded it was…
By Gregg Re Fox News January 12, 2020 The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) has stunned court-watchers by selecting David Kris — a former Obama administration lawyer who has appeared on “The Rachel Maddow Show” and written extensively in support of the FBI’s surveillance practices on the left-wing blog Lawfare — to oversee the FBI’s implementation of reforms in the wake of a damning Department of Justice inspector general report last year. The development on Friday, first reported by independent journalist Mike Cernovich, has roiled Republicans who have demanded accountability at the FBI. House Intelligence Commitee ranking member Devin…

Walsh, Neel Patel, Clint Rainey, Katie Heaney, Eric Benson, Tim Urban Intelligencer January 11, 2020 In the good old days, the arrival of UFOs on the front page of America’s paper of record might have seemed like a loose-thread tear right through the fabric of reality — the closest that secular, space-race America could have gotten to a Second Coming. Two decades ago, or three, or six, we would’ve also felt we knew the script in advance, thanks to the endless variations pop culture had played…
The Daily Wire January 11, 2020 On Friday evening, Ricky Gervais responded to critics upset over the comedian “accepting” Christian and conservative followers since his blistering Golden Globes monologue against Hollywood. “I’ve noticed a couple of tweets criticising me for ‘accepting’ new followers who are the ‘opposite’ of me,” Gervais posted via Twitter. “Christian, conservative, pro life, pro gun, reactionaries. Of course I accept them.” “To err is human, to forgive divine. It’s what Jesus would do. Dog Bless all my followers,” the open atheist added. Continue Reading…..
Dana Perino: The joke I made while Bush WH press secretary that critics still use against me By Matt London Fox News January 11, 2020 Be careful what you joke about when you’re on the frontlines of American politics.
