Gateway Pundit reports mow here’s something we can all agree on…

Rep. Trey Gowdy called Minority Leader Pelosi “mind-numbingly stupid.”

“My friend Allen West said the race card is the last card in the deck. I think former Speaker Pelosi has opened up a new deck and has found the two of clubs. I could not believe it when I heard her say that. Is that all you have to come back with? Is that the best you can come up with? Is that we got together in this grand scheme to suppress votes in, sure she didn’t say southern states, but that’s what she meant. It’s really beneath the office of Congress to say something that outrageous and the fact that she was once the Speaker is mind-numbing. Honestly, I’ve heard a lot in my sixteen years as a prosecutor. I couldn’t believe the words coming out of her mouth… I would schedule an appointment with my doctor is she thinks we are doing this to suppress votes this fall. That is mind-numbingly stupid.”

Yahoo Newsreports Americans are enthusiastic about the promise of science but lack basic knowledge of it, with one in four unaware that the Earth revolves around the Sun, said a poll out Friday.

The survey included more than 2,200 people in the United States and was conducted by the National Science Foundation.

Nine questions about physical and biological science were on the quiz, and the average score -- 6.5 correct -- was barely a passing grade.

Just 74 percent of respondents knew that the Earth revolved around the Sun, according to the results released at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Chicago.

Fewer than half (48 percent) knew that human beings evolved from earlier species of animals.

The result of the survey, which is conducted every two years, will be included in a National Science Foundation report to President Barack Obama and US lawmakers.

NY Daily News reports the clergyman sprung from a Brooklyn police precinct after a call from City Hall bailed out Saturday on a promise to address the controversy.

Bishop Orlando Findlayter was a no-show at the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, leaving the veteran activist to defend his cleric colleague.

The well-connected Findlayter, in a Friday message to the Daily News, said he planned to answer questions on Saturday about the phone call from Mayor de Blasio that helped spare him a night behind bars.

But the 50-year-old bishop did not appear at Sharpton’s Harlem headquarters, and NAN officials said they had not invited Findlayter to appear. He has yet to speak about the incident.

Sharpton invoked the name of longtime nemesis Rudy Giuliani when asked about the mayoral phone call to police following Findlayter’s arrested on outstanding warrants.
