On Wednesday, the State Senate voted seven to four to authorize 17 subpoenas requesting information from Gov. Tom Wolf’s (D) office. The lawmakers are seeking information on all voters in the state, including partial Social Security numbers, driver’s license details and how they cast ballots. State Sen. Cris Dush (R) said the review is necessary in order to address allegations of voter irregularities in the swing state. A Pennsylvania Senate committee is meeting this morning to vote on subpoenas for their 2020 election review.

(Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images) The Republican Study Committee unveiled a plan to fight Joe Biden’s program to quickly resettle tens of thousands of Afghan refugees into the U.S. In a  memo   on Wednesday, the RSC said Biden’s plan was dangerous and extended as well as an open border approach to immigration policies. RSC Chair Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) pointed out the Biden administration requested $6.4 billion to fly any unvetted Afghan national into the U.S. by the end of the next fiscal year. He added the Democrats’ request included lifetime welfare and a path to citizenship for said Afghans. “The Biden administration wants billions of dollars to fund unlimited green cards for unvetted Afghans,” Banks expressed in a tweet. “Opening our borders to a Taliban-run nation with the promise of lifetime welfare and citizenship for their extended family is reckless and dangerous.” ALERT: Biden just sent Congress hi

(Chip Somodevilla/Getty) Former President Donald Trump on Saturday released a video praising the "brave" first responders from Sept. 11, 2001, then slammed President Joe Biden for his chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.  “The leader of our country was made to look like a fool and that can never be allowed to happen. It was caused by bad planning, incredible weakness and leaders who truly didn’t understand what was happening,” Trump said in a  video shared  by his Save America PAC. “This is the 20th year of this war and should have been a year of victory and honor and strength. Instead, Joe Biden and his inept administration surrendered in defeat,” Trump said. Terrorists killed 2,977 people on 9/11, including many New York City first responders. Ceremonies in Lower Manhattan, at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania commemorated the horrific event that shaped the past two decades. "For the great people of our country," Trump said in th

George W. Bush Denounces US Disunity 20 Years after 9/11

Former President George W. Bush (Getty Images) George W. Bush, who was president during 9/11, said Saturday at a service marking 20 years since the attacks that disunity today made him "worried" about the future of the United States. "In the weeks and months following the 9/11 attacks, I was proud to lead an amazing, resilient, united people," Bush said in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the fourth hijacked plane came down. "When it comes to the unity of America, those days seem distant from our own," he continued. "So much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear, and resentment. That leaves us worried about our nation and our future together." Forty people, plus four hijackers, were killed when United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757 traveling from Newark to San Francisco, crashed in Shanksville. Passengers fought with the hijackers, stopping them from flying the plane into their intended target, believed to be the Congress bui

We would encourage openness and free discussion of ideas. We would incinerate, after careful review, any subversive and antagonistic idea to the existential survival of Yorùbá Nation, the Yorùbá race and our heritage as expressed through our culture, traditions and cosmological interpretations. We would protect and preserve what is ours by all means. While we encourage civility in all ramifications, we would not be blackmailed into charlatanised patriotism. To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends.".   -- John F. Kennedy, Jan. 20, 1961 The real struggle to have a date with our destiny as Yorùbá is about to begin. The task to activate the exodus from the Babylonian Nigeria is about to begin. The real march to the promised land of Oòduà Nation is about to take off. The task to shake off the shackle of tyranny is about to commence. The  duty to appropriate our inalienable right to freedom is about to be started. The

Remembering 9/11: Barbara Olson fought for life until her final minutes, now Ted Olson does too

Barbara Olson, a conservative commentator and lawyer, wasn't panicked when hijackers took over her flight on  Sept. 11 , 2001, from Washington Dulles airport to  Los Angeles , where she was heading for an appearance on  Bill Maher 's TV show. She managed to call her solicitor general husband, Ted Olson, twice from the back of the plane where the  terrorists , armed with knives and box cutters, herded the passengers. She reported the hijacking aboard American Airlines Flight 77 and asked what she could convey to the captain.  According to the  9/11 Commission report , only Olson and flight attendant Renee May were able to make phone calls to loved ones from the plane before it was crashed into the Pentagon. Twenty years later, Barbara's husband still marvels at her bravery and calm in the final moments of her life. "To this day, I don't know how in the world she managed to do it," said Ted Olson, who received the calls at his Justice Department office in Washin
