Yesterday’s big stories: 1. Jeff Sessions. Democrats’ narrative: RACIST! Alternate narrative: Why does Jeff Sessions force his bi-racial granddaughter to play with a white baby doll? RACIST! 2. Trump supposedly compromised by the Russians per our spooks (can I say that?). Turns out the report was completely fabricated by the only source less credible than CNN, BuzzFeed. Readers of this newspaper know well not to include me among Trump’s supporters. But the scurrilousness of what BuzzFeed has done here is so beyond the bounds of what is even remotely acceptable it should compel even those most outraged by Trump’s political...

While Barack Obama delivered his final address as president, celebrities were gushing with heartfelt tributes. Many took to Twitter where record producer Russell Simmons posted a sweet snap of Obama posing for a selfie with two young black boys. He then wrote: 'President Obama, because of you "those brown kids" know that they too can one day be President of the U.S. #ObamaAndKids #ObamaFarewell' Meanwhile other celebrities wrote about how much they enjoyed the speech, with some pleading for Obama be allowed to stay on in the White House.

I did not watch the Obama "Farewell Speech" last evening....but I did get good glimpse of the folks that attended. Based on that demographic....the downfall of the current Democrat Party continues unabated. Having a smattering (17,000) of White liberal low life and wealthy African-Americans in the Obama cheering tent does not bode well for Obama's Democrat Party. (Trump gets 20,000 folks, when he snaps his fingers). First, Obama, does have a legacy....but, it is not positive...it's called Donald J. Trump!!! Second, the lack of low income Blacks, Hispanics and other minorities was quite notable. And...there was not a "blue collar...

Tommy Sotomayor Goes In On Meryl Streep For Her Anti Trump Fake Outrage Speech!

BEIJING — China said Wednesday it was committed to promoting peace and stability in Asia, even as it sent an aircraft carrier battle group through the Taiwan Strait amid heightened tensions between Beijing and the self-ruled island.

MANHASSET, LONG ISLAND — Steven McDonald, who became one of the NYPD's most widely recognized heroes when he returned to duty after barely surviving a 1986 shooting in Central Park, died Tuesday at the age of 59, according to city officials. “No one could have predicted that Steven would touch so many people, in New York and around the world,” NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill said Tuesday. “Like so many cops, Steven joined the NYPD to make a difference in people’s lives. And he accomplished that every day. He is a model for each of us as we go about our...

How does California draw up a state budget when Washington Republicans may yank away billions in revenue? That’s the biggest what-if question for Gov. Jerry Brown as he sketches an early season spending plan. The pledge by Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers to repeal the 6-year-old Affordable Care Act puts California at the financial brink. No state has embraced the federal plan as avidly, with some $16 billion in federal money going to enroll nearly 4 million residents.

In early 1939, peace activist Clare Hollingworth arrived on the Polish-German border to aid Jews and other refugees fleeing from the Sudetenland, newly annexed by Nazi Germany. On a brief return to her native England, the 27-year-old Hollingworth — who once professed to “enjoy being in a war” — was hired as a part-time correspondent in Katowice, Poland, for the London Daily Telegraph. After three days on the job that August, the cub reporter landed one of the biggest journalistic scoops of the 20th century: Hitler’s imminent invasion of Poland, marking the outbreak of World War II. Ms. Hollingworth, who...

NEW DELHI: A Chinese Navy nuclear-powered attack submarine which docked at the Karachi harbour in May took aboard Pakistani naval officers and sailors to give them a first-hand glimpse of how the submarine works. This was not a simple case of access being given to a close military ally. The Indian Navy is convinced that it is a matter of time before Islamabad leases a Chinese nuclear submarine. The Pakistan Navy personnel who were on the submarine may be part of their first team to train on Chinese nuclear submarines, it is believed. On Friday, NDTV broadcast images of an...

Full TITLE: Radio Show Host Calls For Immediate Arrest Of HomoClemson Player After Gay Championship Celebration! ***warning language***

The aftermath of this extraordinary election, likely the most important in American history, has been fraught with controversy and confusion. The collapse of the fourth estate, for example, is a signal and unfortunate consequence. Weeping "journalists," misguided and error-embracing "analysts," bias, fraud, malfeasance, and falsehoods mark the end of a once proud profession. In the political and popular culture of the American left, there is a widespread and disturbing hatred and intolerance for those in the opposition that overwhelmingly eclipses a similar reaction to the election of George W. Bush. The political culture now is so sour and the response...

Any respectful president at this point would basically be in a hover mode and simply helping a new administration transition, but not the Marxist Obama administration. No, they are still hard a work selling America out to our enemies. The latest sellout is ironic because it has been the Obama administration pushing the narrative of Russia hacking US elections. Now, the administration has joined five other world powers in approving the transfer of a large shipment of uranium from Russia to Iran. The Associate Press reports: Iran is to receive a huge shipment of natural uranium from Russia to compensate...

Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is "A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE." Very unfair! Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING! I win an election easily, a great "movement" is verified, and crooked opponents try to belittle our victory with FAKE NEWS. A sorry state! Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to "leak" into the public. One last shot at me.Are we living in Nazi Germany?

It is obvious that Democrats had a hand in letting KKK protesters in Sessions' Confirmation Hearing. It will likely continue. Each GOP member should start every statement or question with an apology to the Democrats for the protesters having brought up the dark, sordid history of the Democrat's involvement with slavery, Jim Crow, Segregation, and the Terrorist arm of the Democrat Party, the KKK.

Representative Thomas Massie, (R) KY, has re-introduced a bill to repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSZA) of 1990 and its amendments.  It was found unconstitutional in 1995 in U.S. v Lopez. Then it was passed again, slightly modified, under pressure of the President Bill Clinton and the establishment media in 1996. Donald Trump has pledged to eliminate Gun Free Zones, but he will need Congressional help for the GFSZA.  The bill is numbered HR 34 for the 2017-18 Congress. Progress on the bill can be seen at congress.gov. Representative Massie issued a press release on Thursday, January 5th....

It's only the second week of 2017, but it's already been a banner year for preening liberals on cable TV who are hell-bent on self-immolation in the name of proving everyone else's moral inferiority. To use young people's slang these days, you're "lit," media progressives. But not in a good way. On Tuesday, just before the confirmation hearing for Attorney General nominee and Alabama GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions kicked off, an MTV News reporter demonstrated his high and mighty commitment to racial tolerance ... by mocking Sen. Sessions' half-Asian granddaughter. Sessions' daughter, Ruth, is married to Asian-American John Walk. They...

US President Barack Obama warned in an interview broadcast Tuesday on Israel’s Channel 2 that “unfettered support” for Israel’s settlement policies would lead to a “worsening situation” over time between Israelis and Palestinians. The interview, filmed in Washington last week, appeared 10 days before Obama, who has been an outspoken critic of the Netanyahu government particularly concerning Israeli communities in eastern Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, hands over the reins to President-elect Donald Trump, who takes an entirely different approach to the Israeli-Arab conflict, among most other issues. “If the notion is that unfettered support for Israel or, more specifically, support...

Obama says goodbye to a nation he despises President Barack Hussein Obama bid farewell last night to the nation he despises in what was, for him, a mercifully brief speech. “America is a better, stronger place than it was when we started,” he said in all apparent seriousness. After sending aid and comfort to an Islamic supremacist dictator in Egypt, he falsely claimed to have pulled the rug out from the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear weapon program. The Nobel Peace Prize winner left out how his illegal war destabilized Libya and the fact that the U.S. military deeply distrusts...
