First off, I'd like to apologize for setting liberals' hair on fire the other day. I guess I just wanted to see what would happen. My bad. All I did was point out on social media that liberal Democrats like President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have said stupid things about guns and political violence just like Republican Donald Trump, who is famous for saying stupid things. And all that sensitive liberal hair went poof, like a napkin on a toaster. Fool that I am, I didn't know that comparing stupid Democratic comments to stupid Republican comments is frowned upon...

Robert De Niro says Donald Trump is like the main character of the legendary 1976 movie “Taxi Driver,” the mentally disturbed Travis Bickle. During a question-and answer session Saturday at the Sarajevo Film Festival, De Niro said, like Bickle, the U.S. Republican presidential candidate is where he shouldn’t be. “God help us,” he added. …

Here are the differences between polls of 2016 and previous polls. Donald Trump is not like Mitt Romney or John McCain; Trump’s candidacy is THE RESULT of Romney and McCain. The level of hatred for Hillary Clinton among Trump supporters is large enough to give pause to Democrats. They have never seen this much vitriol for one of their candidates. In neither 2008 nor 2012 was there such a massive “movement” of people who hate what is happening to their country. There were no Email leaks showing the DNC working in collusion with CBS and NBC to manipulate the polls....

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday that GOP prospects for keeping control of the Senate after the November elections are “very dicey,” sounding an alarm amid mounting Republican concerns about presidential nominee Donald Trump. […] Twenty-four GOP-held seats are on the ballot this year, compared with 10 for Democrats, he noted. McConnell was promoted to majority leader two years ago when a Republican surge wrested Senate control from Democrats. McConnell did not mention Trump as being a drag on Republican down-ballot races, but he chided Trump’s campaign tactics. The Kentucky senator said he hopes Trump “settles down and follows...

With less than four months to go before Election Day, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton holds a commanding 46-point lead over her Republican rival Donald Trump among Hispanic voters, according to an exclusive poll released Thursday by Fox News Latino. The poll found that 66 percent of registered Latinos would head to the ballot box to vote for Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, compared to only 20 percent who would pick the ticket of Trump and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

During a heated CNN interview on Wednesday night, Donald Trump surrogate Kayleigh McEnany questioned the appearance of Omar Mateen's father at a Hillary Clinton rally earlier this week. When McEnany questioned liberal Christine Quinn on the incident, Quinn screamed “Wait a minute, no!… You can’t ask me a question!” “‘Because you can’t answer the question,” McEnay said. Quinn shouted back, “Oh! You can’t ask me a question, honey, I can’t answer!” McEnany complied with Quinn's demands. "What attracted the father of the Orlando terrorist to your candidate?" she asked. "He's a mentally ill individual!" Quinn said. McEnany then concluded that...

A leading U.S. general pressured his intelligence analysts into playing down the ISIS and al Qaeda threats, according to a congressional task force. A House Republican task force has found that officials from the U.S. military’s Central Command altered intelligence reports to portray the U.S. fight against ISIS and al Qaeda in a more positive light than lower-level analysts believed was warranted by the facts on the ground, three officials familiar with the task force’s findings told The Daily Beast. A roughly 10-page report on the controversy is expected to be released by the end of next week, two officials...

While the mainstream media didn’t give Donald Trump much credit, the economic plan he laid out this week at the Detroit Economic Club is exactly what we’ve been waiting for. Not only did the speech—which stirred repeated cheers from the audience—have great substance, but Trump came off as extremely “presidential.” However, most importantly, I liked the focus he placed on the average American in his remarks. All throughout his presentation, I couldn’t help thinking: “This is someone who truly does care about the average American.” Maybe you don’t believe that. But I do. I think Trump is aware that American...

It is illegal for clergy to support or oppose political candidates from the pulpit. Houses of worship can host candidate forums and voter-registration drives; pastors and rabbis and imams can even bend the rules a little to advocate “as individuals” at conventions or other events. But for more than 60 years, religious groups have been forbidden from electioneering. Apparently, a lot of pastors don’t pay attention to this rule. According to a new survey from Pew Research Center, roughly 9 percent of people who have attended religious services in the last few months have heard clergy speak out in...

The Coach’s Team has re-posted in its entirety the following article by James Wesley Rawles, originally published on the SurvivalBlog.com. There can be no doubt that a President Clinton would aggressively persist in Barack Hussein’s unconstitutional practice of legislating by Executive Command. Rawles anticipates Clinton’s ruinous campaign against the Constitution while at the same time recommending countermeasures which the American people may deploy in order to fight back. Madame President Clinton’s Coming War on the Blogosphere, and Your Countermeasures by James Wesley Rawles Now that Hillary (“Hitlery”) Rodham Clinton (HRC) has received the Democratic Party nomination for president, there is...

Sometimes it’s hard to imagine that Jonah Goldberg actually lives in America. Reading his ravings one would think he is in a NASA space capsule, floating around the planet, blissfully ignorant of the danger we are facing. Goldberg’s fantasy dreams of a world in which only “pure conservative knights” get to save the country make it more difficult to see the clear and present danger we are in. This is a time for clarity of purpose, not demands for perfection over the serviceable. You need to be addressed directly, Mr. Goldberg, so there can be no ambiguity: Mister Goldberg, given...

A number of prominent conservative websites are beginning to allude to Hillary Clinton's health problems. Here is a recent posting detailing some of the issues, including the claim that a burly aid—always located close at hand—is carrying an emergency Diazepam syringe. My personal feeling is that she does have a host of health problems, only these will be ignored by the elite media for as long as they can. Certainly, such posturing on the health of presidents and candidates is nothing new. Woodrow Wilson's wife Edith was essentially co-president from October, 1919 through the end of his term in March,...

Mike Huckabee says Americans should take polls that show Donald Trump's presidential campaign is in deep trouble with a big grain of salt. "Polls taken before Labor Day and the Presidential debates are notoriously subject to change, but that hasn't stopped the pundits from proclaiming that Trump's campaign is tanking," the former governor of Arkansas and two-time presidential candidate writes on his Facebook page.

Ticking the LGBT box on her weekly campaign checklist, Hillary Clinton made a “surprise” appearance at New York City’s Gay Pride parade on Sunday. With close aide Huma Abedin at her side, Clinton walked with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Al Sharpton. Bill Clinton was nowhere to be found. Multiple videos show the chaotic security scene as Secret Service agents, police and campaign staffers yell and push to keep the perimeter around Clinton moving. (Watch video of Hillary and Huma at link) One chap is looking forward to Bill serving as “first...

A devastating medical history regarding Hillary Clinton has been released on the social networking website Twitter and it says Hillary Clinton is suffering from "Dementia, Seizures, Blackouts" and more. She is medically unfit to be President of the United States. The tweet and its medical report appear below:

The 'FOX News Medical A-Team' talks about a photo that caught internet buzz over the weekend from February that showed Hillary Clinton needing the help of aides to walk up a set of stairs and reports of Clinton health problems in general.

This is a perilous time we live in. We have tried to save our nation by nominating a candidate we know is not a member of the growing Uniparty. We are standing out in front of the country without any armor save for our enduring faith in the goodness of our country and her great capacity to overcome even the worst attacks. Nevertheless, there is a lingering stench of corruption and Soviet style gang activity taking place right before our eyes. The media has abandoned any semblance of fairness and impartiality. They take increasing delight in lying to us while...

Beijing Republican presidential candidate is playing the "China-bashing card" in an attempt to rescue his falling poll numbers but has no real ideas to resolve the two nations' differences, China's official news agency said Tuesday. (please see link, for full article)

Was New York Times columnist Frank Bruni suggesting there could be civil unrest if Donald Trump loses big and bitterly? That seemed a likely implication of his comments on today’s Morning Joe. Bruni said his “fear” is: “what if he goes down big and goes down bitterly? I really worry about the aftermath. I worry about November 9th and forward in terms of what’s been stirred up.” Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson tried to soothe poor Frank’s fears: “We survived Bush-Gore 2000, we made it through that just fine and I think we’ll make it through post-Trump just fine, too.”...
