If they actually do it, it will be an act of boldness not seen by congressional Republicans in . . . OK, I can’t think of an example. It’s the sort of thing Newt Gingrich would have done during his days as Speaker if he could have gotten the troops on board, but there were always too many Nervous Nellies to make this sort of thing feasible.
Democrats want the 2nd Amendment gone. The elimination of your right to bear arms has been at or near the top of their agenda for years. For a long time, they danced around it.

The truth has always been that they can’t wait for the day when you no longer have the right to defend yourself.

A selection of ancient and otherwise beliefs perhaps still held by some. Of course, they aren't true and could never happen--touch wood.
Did Social Justice-boosting Pope Francis really say in an interview with atheist Eugenio Scalfari that Hell does not exist in a story that went viral on, of all days, Holy Thursday?
We don’t know. But no matter what Pope Francis says or doesn’t say, Christians do know for certain that Hell is as real as the air we breathe.
Of all holidays, Easter is the one that celebrates a single event that transformed the world forever. There are many religions with different founders, prophets and teachers going back thousands of years, but only one of them has a founder who professed to be the messiah—the son of God who could save mankind.

Now that Donald Trump is president, dissent is patriotic and investigative journalism is suddenly cool again.
Aided by Obama holdovers and leakers from the White House on down, virtually every nook and cranny of the Trump administration is now being FOIA-ed and scrutinized by reporters in search of potential wrongdoing.
Most everyone is by now aware that Roseanne Barr hit one out of the park with her new show's recent debut.
