Online headline/story: "Philadelphia mayor blasts Mummers Parade marchers who wore blackface: 'Abhorrent and unacceptable' * (Mayor Jim McKenney) tweeted "The use of blackface by someone affiliated with Froggy Carr today was abhorrent and unacceptable. This selfish, hateful behavior has no place in the Mummers, or the city itself. We must be better than this. The group was disqualified and we will be exploring additional penalties." * The Froggy Carr group was dressed in orange and black during the parade to pay homage to Gritty, the mascot for the Philadelphia Flyers NHL club. * -- Hmmm...Anyone know how Mayor McKenney feels about Virginia's Governor Northam or VA's Attorney General?

Online story: "Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe apologized for lying to federal investigators concerning an October 2016 leak to The Wall Street Journal about the Hillary Clinton email probe, newly released transcripts indicate -- underscoring McCabe's legal jeopardy as U.S. Attorney John Durham continues the Justice Department's criminal probe into bureau misconduct. * The transcripts specifically raised the possibility that McCabe, now a paid CNN commentator, could face a false statements charge similar to the one leveled against former national security adviser Michael Flynn. The account of McCabe's remarks was released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general (IG) because of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, D.C. * But on Aug. 18, 2017, McCabe's story changed when he was confronted with other evidence, including emails and witness accounts, that conflicted with his prior statements. Asked again whether he was aware of the leak to the Journal and had personally authorized it, McCabe was unequivocal. * "And as nice as could be, he said, 'Yep. Yep I did,'" the FBI agent said, according to the transcripts." -- Looks like another "witness" Schi** and Nadler "conveniently" left out...

So Biden is the first to get an endorsement from an Iowan Democrat Congressperson. You know, it's somewhat hollow to feel a Democrat endorses another Democrat based on having the same family values, when both are pro-late-term-abortion advocates.

Seriously, why hasn't the Supreme Court stepped in and told House Speaker PeLOUSY to complete her duties by handing over the House impeachment charges the Senate?

You know...even sadder than the Irani militia attack on our Embassy in Iraq is the fact that our liberal media was allowed to roam around recording the terrorist attack on our Embassy. It's should be consider a badge of shame that Islamic terrorists consider our media as it's allies/spokespersons.
