A Florida doctor is under fire for a commercial warning men who are considering voting for Hillary Clinton that they might have low testosterone levels.

In the hacked recording of a private conversation with campaign donors in February, Hillary Clinton distanced herself from progressive goals like “free college, free healthcare” and described her place on the political spectrum as spanning from the center-left to the center-right. Clinton has been inconsistent in the past about espousing political labels. She has at times touted herself as stalwart liberal. For instance, she said last July: “I take a backseat to no one when you look at my record in standing up and fighting for progressive values.” But a few months later, she told a group in Ohio: “You...

Secretary of State Kerry, said he had lost the argument within Obama to back up diplomatic efforts to end the bloodshed in Syria with the threat of using military force. The NewYork Times, said it had obtained an audio recording of the 40-minute discussion that took place at the Dutch Mission to the United Nations on Sept. 22. (with) Syrian groups that provide education, rescue and medical services in rebel-held areas and diplomats from three or four countries, the Times said. The meeting took place days after a cease-fire Kerry had negotiated with Russia had collapsed and rebel-held areas of...

Ok, folks, I've had enough of Ted Cruz and a handful of others trying to fundraise on the back of the Internet handover issue.First, this is not a surprise nor something Obama cooked up in the dead of night.  The expiration of the existing arrangement has been known for literal years and the timing of same has been known for the same amount of time.  If the US Congress wanted to intervene it has had years to do so and has intentionally not done so.  So to Ted Cruz and others (Jim DeMint anyone?) who is now claiming "emergency", go perform an anatomically-impossible act; if you...

FBI Director James Comey admitted in his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee that they found "some" classified emails on the computers of longtime Hillary Clinton confidante Cheryl Mills and another top aide. Both aides, however, were given immunity in the case, which conveniently protects them from being prosecuted from anything found on their computers. When asked if these classified emails constituted a crime, Comey first dodged the question asking “if what was a crime,” and then offered a somewhat roundabout response: “you’d have to know what were the circumstances... [and] the intention around it.” But House Republicans charge that...

For more than a decade, Suleiman Anwar Bengharsa has served as a Muslim cleric in Maryland, working as a prison chaplain and as an imam at mosques in Annapolis and outside Baltimore. He gave a two-week course in 2011 on Islamic teachings on marriage at the Islamic Society of Baltimore, where President Obama made a much-publicized visit this year. But in the last two years, Imam Bengharsa’s public pronouncements have taken a dark turn. On Facebook, he has openly endorsed the Islamic State, posted gruesome videos showing ISIS fighters beheading and burning alive their enemies and praised terrorist attacks overseas....

The government threat to Deutsche Bank’s safety and soundness began on Sept. 15. That’s when the Journal reported that Justice was demanding an eye-watering $14 billion to resolve an investigation of the bank’s sale of mortgage-backed securities prior to the 2008 financial panic. Deutsche Bank then had to acknowledge the size of this government stick-up as its stock price proceeded to drop more than 20% in a fortnight. The lack of exuberance among investors was entirely rational. Washington’s proposed withdrawal represented most of the bank’s market capitalization.

Former Miss Wisconsin USA Melissa Young explains how Donald Trump has impacted her life.

Hillary Clinton has gained ground on Donald Trump, who has slipped in key measures of the presidential race after the first debate. First, the horserace. Clinton is ahead of Trump by three percentage points: 43-40 percent in the four-way matchup, according to a new Fox News Poll of likely voters. Her advantage is within the poll’s margin of sampling error. Two weeks ago, Clinton was up by one (41-40 percent). Third-party candidates Gary Johnson (8 percent) and Jill Stein (4 percent) remain in single digits. In the two-candidate head-to-head, Clinton tops Trump by five: 49-44 percent. Two weeks ago, Trump...

In a campaign appearance Saturday in Youngstown, Ohio Chelsea Clinton suggested that marijuana has the ability to kill. ... As Trump surges in the all-important battleground state of Colorado, Clinton’s comments could hinder her mother’s ability to reach out to a large group of voters who support the legalization of the same “drug” that Clinton lied about. The most current Colorado poll shows Trump and Clinton in a dead heat. Only one point separates the two candidates. According to a CNN/ORC poll, “In Colorado, likely voters break 42% for Trump, 41% for Clinton, 13% for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 3%...

The surrounding forest was quiet Thursday morning, but organizers and exhibitors at the annual Honobia Bigfoot Festival and Conference were already setting up. "All of the vendors will come in today," says festival director Jolly Winsor. "All of the campers will come in." She had guys moving chairs. The T-shirt stand was up, and a jar set out for the scholarship fund. That's right. There is a Bigfoot Scholarship. Winsor says, "In this area the economy is so depressed so we wanted to figure out a way to help the kids get a higher education." A little more than 30...

It is always rather ironic how the mighty enlightened, limo-liberal, progressively-minded people can’t see the inevitable conclusions of their ideological and culturally Marxist arguments. If it didn’t effect all of us, it would be somewhat humorous to point their insufferable hypocrisies back at them. Oh well. At least in this story they were not baking a cake…. COTO DE CAZA, Calif. — A Southern California woman said she is the victim of discrimination, CBS Los Angeles reports. Mary Campos said her pre-booked ticket was given away by United Airlines. The reason? She’s a woman, and two men didn’t want to...

The Carnegie Deli, a New York institution since 1937, will soon serve its last “Woody Allen.” The iconic home to gigantic Jewish-style sandwiches — like the 4-inch-high, pastrami-and-corned beef “Woody” on rye — will close its doors forever on Dec. 31, The Post has learned. Restaurant owner Marian Harper Levine tearfully broke the news to 60 heartbroken employees on Friday morning.

The tweets started around 3:20 a.m. on Friday. Inside Trump Tower, a restless figure stirred in the predawn darkness, nursing his grievances and grabbing a device that often lands him in hot water. On his Android phone, Donald J. Trump began to tap out bursts of digital fury

The Fabulous Philadelphians are on strike. Friday night, a crowd of about 1,000 sat in Verizon Hall waiting for the orchestra to appear for the scheduled start of the Opening Night Gala. But no Philadelphia Orchestra appeared on stage. Unbeknownst to most in the audience, the 96 musicians and two librarians belonging to American Federation of Musicians Local 77 had decided to go out on strike about an hour before curtain time. Finally, about 20 minutes after the scheduled start, orchestra president Allison B. Vulgamore came out on stage to say that no labor agreement was in place for "one...

YouTube, home of everything from cat videos to college pranks, is accused of acting on an anti-Christian bias and blocking the promotion of the faith-based movie I’m Not Ashamed, which opens in theaters on October 21. For 11 months, producers from Pure Flix Entertainment have repeatedly asked YouTube to reinstate their video channel and explain why the company felt that the movie trailer was offensive, reports the Hollywood Reporter.

A woman widowed when her husband was killed at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 sued Saudi Arabia just two days after the US Congress enacted legislation allowing Americans to sue foreign governments for allegedly being involved in terrorist attacks on US soil.

When future generations read about the “Great Gender Pronoun Wars” of the early twenty-first century, they will most certainly learn of Grant Strobl – a noble and mighty king. “His Majesty” is an unlikely title for a 21-year-old political science major from Grosse Pointe, Michigan. “It was definitely activism by accident,” he told me. The University of Michigan recently announced a new initiative to allow students to select their preferred gender pronouns through an online service. “You could put anything you wanted into the system,” Grant told me. “So I did.” Yes, good readers – Grant Strobl changed his designated...

Something important to consider about Donald J. Trump. When thinking about and deciding on your vote, try to keep this in mind. First remember, Donald Trump is and has been a private citizen like most of us. He is not and has not been a politician. He has no legislative voting record or executive political decision-making record. In fact, like all private citizens, again like most of us, he can change and has the right to change his mind on issues, political parties, and how he has made private life decisions with regard to his family, business, and personal ideals,...

Ape shall never kill ape. The primate society in the 1973 film “Battle for the Planet of the Apes,” the fifth installment in the Planet of the Apes franchise, was governed by this central rule. It was a pleasant sentiment even when chanted from beneath a rubber mask. But such niceties never seem to last, particularly not in post-apocalyptic fiction. We hate to rock Dr. Zaius‘s world, but that rule does not exist in real-life mammal societies, either. As a new study published in the journal Nature demonstrated, not only does ape kill ape, but the mammalian world is full...

A Donald Trump supporter did not get a warm welcome among grieving Black Lives Matter protesters on Wednesday. His red “Make America Great Again” hat taunted the mob like a matador, sending them chasing after him to administer a beating. Feras Jabro was marching alongside numerous protesters in El Cajon, California, after police there fatally shot a black man who was believed to have had mental problems. For Jabro, the rally was peaceful until someone noticed his Trump-slogan hat, reading “Make America Great Again.” “You are at an event where people don’t support Donald Trump at all,” a woman in...

Just as we were beginning to think that the worst was behind Samsung regarding the Galaxy Note 7 battery fiasco, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV has lambasted Samsung for discriminating against Chinese consumers when it comes to the terms of the recall. A commentary posted to the broadcaster’s website on Thursday calls out Samsung’s handling of the recall as “full of arrogance” and suggests that Samsung has discriminated against Chinese consumers by insisting that phones in the country do not need replacing. China has not been included in the global Note 7 recall, so customers are not entitled to replacements...

An Air Force reconnaissance plane recently measured a peak SFMR wind of 143 kt and then 138 kt during this mission's eye penetrations. Furthermore, the satellite presentation has improved considerably with a distinct eye surrounded by a ring of very deep convection. The raw objective T-numbers from UW-CIMSS have been above 7.0 since 2100 UTC. On this basis, the initial intensity has been increased to 140 kt, making Matthew a Category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. This is the first Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic basin since Hurricane Felix in 2007.

PASADENA, CA -- A man described by his girlfriend as mentally unstable died today after a struggle with Pasadena police, who deployed a Taser in an effort to restrain the knife-wielding suspect. The man, identified by family members as Reginald "J.R." Thomas, died at the scene of the confrontation, which occurred shortly after 2 a.m. at an apartment complex in the 200 block of East Orange Grove Boulevard. An autopsy was pending to determine the cause of his death. Thomas was 36 years old and had eight children and one on the way, according to his pregnant girlfriend. His death...

Whether you think there has been a housing “recovery” or not is a matter of perspective. Sales are indeed up 117% since the 2010 low, but that low was literally the worst level in the history of this data (since 1963) as a percentage of population growth. It was the Great Depression of Housing, the only possible result of the greatest housing bubble since the 1920s, if not in history. While sales have rebounded since that low, the current sales rate has barely recovered to the levels seen at the recession lows of 1991 and 1982. This rebound is little...

In an email sent to his business partner and Democratic fundraiser Jeffrey Leeds, former Secretary of State Colin Powell wrote of Hillary Clinton, “Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.” Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State during Barack Obama’s first term was an unmitigated disaster for many nations around the world. Neither the Donald Trump campaign nor the corporate media have adequately described how a number of countries around the world suffered horribly from Mrs. Clinton’s foreign policy decisions. Millions of people were adversely harmed by Clinton’s misguided policies and her “pay-to-play” operations involving favors in return...

He was arrested back 2010, his name is Gerardo Alvarez Vazquez, alias "El Indio" or "The Chayán", he was a BLO operator, and in 2010 the secretariat of the mexican marina confirmed that he is the father of a child conceived with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado. Doesn’t ring a bell? She is the former Miss Universe, who Hillary Clinton thought it important to speak about, in the first presidential debate. Clinton going back 25 years, alleges that Trump called Machado “Miss Piggy”, and “Miss Housekeeper”. Clinton's people should have done a better due diligence. Machado has had a checkered...

The Democratic governor says he vetoed SB654 because he’s concerned about the impact on small businesses. The California Chamber of Commerce and other business groups said the law could create staffing shortages that hurt business operations. The bill would have expanded an existing state law that applies to firms with 50 or more workers.

First he was a cross-wearing Christian. Then he billed himself as an Italian from New Jersey with slicked-back hair and a fondness for “The Godfather.” After that, he tried to pass himself off as a Mexican who drank Corona and cooked carne asada. But it was Joseph Farrokh’s last transformation — into a radical Muslim with plans to join the Islamic State — that has landed him in prison for the next 8 1/2 years. He was among seven young men from Northern Virginia prosecuted on similar charges this year alone, raising concerns about both a potential rise in radicalization...

Cardinal Gerald Lacroix of Quebec said he has no intention to follow in the steps of his fellow Canadian bishops of Alberta and the Northwest Territories in refusing funerals for those who asked to be euthanized. “I don’t plan specific directives aimed at refusing this support or refusing access to the anointing of the sick and the celebration of funerals,” Cardinal Lacroix said in a statement Sept. 29. The cardinal was reacting to a document published earlier this month by the bishops of Alberta and the Northwest Territories, addressed to the clergy, in which they said these sacraments and celebrations...

A Virginia Young Democrat working for a Democrat-aligned voter registration group got caught filing applications on behalf of dead people when he filed an application for a deceased World War II veteran who was known by a local clerk. Andrew Spieles, a James Madison University student working for HarrisonburgVotes, confessed earlier this month that he submitted 19 applications for deceased individuals, according to a report in the local Daily News-Record.

With just 39 days to go in the 2016 presidential race, there is seemingly little that cable news networks and pro-Democrat media “watchdogs” can do to stop the momentum of Donald Trump’s campaign. Media outlets and “fact checkers” have pored over every nook and cranny of Trump’s businesses and campaign since last July; they’ve waited with bated breath for Trump to say something unforgivable at a rally or a fundraiser. But seemingly none of it has worked. While the race remains nail-bitingly close in several battleground states, Friday’s Los Angeles Times tracking poll has Trump up six points on Clinton...

Besides Gary Johnson, he means, right? Doesn’t he? Or was Carl Bernstein right that Weld, a Massachusetts centrist, would end up defecting from the ticket and trying to help Clinton down the stretch if he got spooked that a Trump presidency is a real possibility? He’s much more complimentary of Johnson in the clip below than the headline above would suggest, as you’ll see (the key line about Hillary comes near the very end), but it’s odd nonetheless for a candidate in one party to say that no one’s more qualified than a candidate from another. It’s not the only...

MEMPHIS, Tennessee, September 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — An all-boys Catholic high school in Memphis, Tennessee, is being sued for $1 million by a former student who claims the school caused him “severe injuries and damages” by refusing to allow him to bring his same-sex date to a homecoming dance last year. The suit, filed Sept. 20 in Circuit Court on behalf of Lance Sanderson, states that Christian Brothers High School (CBHS) caused the teenage boy who identifies as “gay” to “suffer severe injuries and damages which include, but are not limited to disability, past and future emotional distress, past and...

PUEBLO, Colo. – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will campaign in Pueblo Monday ahead of his already-announced stop in Loveland. Trump will rally at the Pueblo Convention Center at 3 p.m. Monday, Oct. 3. Doors to the event will open at noon. He will head up to Loveland afterward, where he is likely to speak around 5 or 6 p.m. Doors for that event, which will be held at the Budweiser Events Center, open at 3 p.m. His campaign has recently dumped about $2 million in new advertising into Colorado after recent polls began to show the lead Democratic rival...

Donald Trump’s middle-of-the-night tweets about a beauty queen sex tape are frustrating Republican supporters, who worry once again that their candidate’s lack of discipline will hamper his campaign. They say Trump needs to keep his focus on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, prepare for their second debate, on Oct. 9 in St. Louis, and quit taking the bait from Democrats. “It’s unlikely the Miss Universe flap is hurting Trump with current supporters, but it’s hard to see how it helps grow our vote,” said one GOP lawmaker who supports Trump. “Maybe it's quaint conventional wisdom. But it seems he would help...

The aging-boomer hippie magazine Rolling Stone still enjoys mocking their percieved bad taste of Flyover Country. This week, they made a list of the "12 Worst TV Shows of All Time" and topped hit list of "cream of the crud" with Duck Dynasty. Rob Sheffield asked: "Too much quality TV got you down? All that art and introspection making you pine for the long-gone age of junk?" The headline singled out "bottom-feeding reality shows." That apparently includes both the Bible-toting Robertsons and Ozzy Osbourne's clan in MTV's Osbournes Reloaded. Duck Dynasty was rated worse than the 1970s sitcom spinoffs on...

At about 2 min. into the video Hillary's left eye begins to jump around eratically and you can tell that she is becoming distressed by it. She is becoming concerned that her usual head-bob is not concealing it. The eye is going every which way completely out of control. It goes on for several minutes and ends only when Bernies announces it is time for her to spead. I haven't seen this picked up elsewhere. FReepers please feel free to provide links if it has! It could be isolated and blown up for medical professionals to analyze.
