Even though only months into the Trump administration, it is clear that an election has been hijacked and a political sociopath is now in the most important job in the world. The Russian connection will drive this man from office, I believe, within three years. Our Constitution gives us three chances to live on before four dreadful years allow us to be rid of this catastrophe. They are the impeachment clause, the 25th Amendment, and the clause providing for a trial for treason. In 1787 when the Constitution was struck in Philadelphia, our English forebears' were debating in Parliament the...

Wisconsin police were widening their hunt Saturday for a 33-year-old man who allegedly burglarized a gun store after mailing an anti-government manifesto to President Donald Trump. Joseph Jakubowski has been on the run since Tuesday, when police say he broke into the Armageddon Gun Shop in Janesville, south of Madison, and stole 16 high-caliber rifles and handguns. He is also believed to be traveling with a bulletproof vest and helmet, according to authorities. He is believed to be armed and dangerous. At a news conference Friday, Rock County Sheriff Robert Spoden said Jakubowski had been highly agitated by national politics...

A professor at a California university believes President Donald Trump should be hanged and other Republicans summarily executed. “To save American democracy, Trump must hang. The sooner and the higher, the better,” California State University at Fresno professor Lars Maischak tweeted in February. (TWEET-AT-LINK) The Daily Caller News Foundation first reported the existence of the mind-boggling tweets. Though the account isn’t verified by Twitter, its bio and its interactions indicate that Maischak is its owner. According to his professor profile on the university’s website, Maischak teaches American history with a focus on 19th century, including the intellectual history of socialist...

With the country once again debating the future of health care, activists rallied Tuesday in Albany, NY in support of a bill that would create a universal, publicly-financed health-insurance plan for all New Yorkers. Green Party candidate for Albany Mayor Dan Plaat believes having a state single-payer plan in place would have a positive impact on local economics. "It reminds me a lot of the anti-fracking movement. Each year the rally gets a little bit bigger. More partners are made and more people catch on to the necessity and the importance of this issue in getting this law passed, this...

Who scares you more: President Donald Trump or the Islamic State? For some Harvard University students, the U.S. president is the bigger threat. CampusReform.org conducted the survey among the Ivy League students this week to see if Trump was viewed as more of a danger to Americans than the terror organization. "We always see students that are saying everything threatens them in the world and they are always being taught by the media the sensationalist idea that everything Donald Trump does must be the end of the world," Cabot Phillips, a contributor at CampusReform.org, said Thursday on "Fox & Friends."Phillips...

Congresswoman Maxine Waters on Wednesday night said that Fox News host Bill O'Reilly and President Donald Trump should be locked up for alleged sexual harassment. In an appearance on MSNBC's "All in with Chris Hayes," Waters — who has not been quiet about her disdain for President Donald Trump — said O'Reilly should be arrested for alleged sexual harassment against coworkers and explained her distrust of the Trump administration's foreign policy. "They need to go to jail," Waters, D-Calif., said in reference to the president and the people who perpetuated an alleged "sexual harassment enterprise" at Fox News. "Bill O'Reilly...

THAAD makes the use of NK weapons less certain of success, therefore, it acts as a deterrent. Whose interest does it serve to remove THAAD? China and North Korea. So when you argue to remove a deterrent, keep in mind that you are arguing in favour of those needing to be deterred. Do any South Koreans want to be ruled by the system used in the North? This seems doubtful. So the logic compels us to ask why some South Koreans would want to argue in favour of North Korea’s having weapons against which the South has no credible deterrent...

Susan Rice, who served as the National Security Adviser under President Obama, has been identified as the official who requested unmasking of incoming Trump officials, Cernovich Media can exclusively report. The White House Counsel’s office identified Rice as the person responsible for the unmasking after examining Rice’s document log requests. The reports Rice requested to see are kept under tightly-controlled conditions. Each person must log her name before being granted access to them. Upon learning of Rice’s actions, H. R. McMaster dispatched his close aide Derek Harvey to Capitol Hill to brief Chairman Nunes.

At first glance, the president and vice president might seem like polar opposites in their relationship to women. Donald Trump is a libertine who has described his sexual promiscuity as his “personal Vietnam” and boasted that the privileges of celebrity allowed him to grab women by their genitals, while Mike Pence is a committed evangelical who, like others of his faith, abides by strict rules of sexual propriety. As a much-discussed Washington Post profile last week noted, “In 2002, Mike Pence told The Hill that he never eats alone with a woman other than his wife and that he won’t...

Antonin Scalia responded to questions from committee members about his views regarding such topics as federal-state relationships, the Constitution, death penalty, abortion, national security versus individual rights, original intent, independent agencies versus executive branch agencies, court disciplinary structure, legislative veto, bill history, economic deregulation, affirmative action, committee reports, and executive privilege.

I KNOW exactly what you think and no, it’s not what I mean. Let me clarify, Zimbabwe needs a Trump, meaning its own version of the billionaire real estate mogul. The man claims three times his actual worth due to overvaluing of his brand name, and brand is always tough to price, but nonetheless he is still a very wealthy man. In the following new few paragraphs I will try to not only convince but hope to win you over. So why do I say this. First it is important to understand that despite having run under a Republican ticket,...

Pseudo-conservative Foreign Policy blogger Max Boot is making the outrageous claim that the entire Republican Party has been taken over by a dangerous racist fringe. Boot’s insane argument rests on one core contention: that because Republicans tolerate, even like, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), a patriot and a truly courageous conservative champion, their party has therefore fallen into the hands of white nationalists. The fact that King isn’t actually a white nationalist or a racist, which is the real thing Boot is accusing the lawmaker of, in no way hinders the writer from making his pitch. Nor does the unbalanced Boot...

The Rosie O'Donnell-Donald Trump feud shows no signs of slowing. The 55-year-old New York native, arguably the president's fiercest critic in the past decade, took to Twitter Wednesday to urge First Lady Melania Trump to divorce the commander-in-chief, take her loved ones 'and FLEE.' The comedian was responding to a tweet from the 46-year-old Slovenia native. Melania's tweet read: 'I urge you to not be afraid to fail - as failure will never have the power to define you, as long as you learn from it.' Rosie followed up in saying: 'which is y u need to divorce him -...

Bernard Marks, 87, will talk about the Holocaust with anyone who will listen. The world was listening this week after the Auschwitz survivor stood at a Sacramento immigration forum Tuesday and compared the Trump administration’s hardline stance on refugees and undocumented immigrants to Nazi Germany. “History is not on your side,” Marks told Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones, who hosted the forum featuring Thomas Homan,, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Marks came to the United States after spending more than five years in Nazi concentration camps as a child during World War II.

There’s a popular quote from Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, where one character asks another character how he went bankrupt. The response is “Gradually and then suddenly.” It’s funny because it is true. The great upheavals in human affairs seldom happen without warning. They are always part of a long process that was plain to see, but people preferred not to notice it so it rolled along until a crash or revolution. A generation or two from now, people will look back at America and wonder how racial conflict broke out after what many thought were years of social progress....

After just two months, there is no question that the Donald Trump presidency is an unmitigated disaster. The FBI is conducting an investigation to determine whether members of the Trump campaign cooperated with Russian efforts to help elect Donald Trump last year. This by itself is extraordinary and unprecedented. As Republicans noted last year, it is very difficult to have a presidential administration under FBI investigation. No one knows what the investigation will find, but what we already know is bad enough. Senior Trump advisors lied about their contacts with Russian officials; one, Michael Flynn, was forced to resign from...

(TWEETS-AT-LINK) There is nothing surprising about feminist writer Lara Witt’s declaration: “Also white people are evil. Whiteness is evil.” Democrats hate white people. Everybody knows this by now. The #BlackLivesMatter movement was funded by Democrat donors to incite hatred against white people and law enforcement officers, as a way to motivate black voters to turn out for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. The feminist movement is also now an anti-white movement. The end of the Obama era, and the defeat of Hillary Clinton — in an election where exit polls showed 53% of white women voted for Donald Trump...

For some descendants of persons held in U.S. chattel bondage, no monetary sum can compensate for the enslavement of their ancestors. However, for those looking for a number, there are various ways to calculate the value of involuntary servitude. Here’s one of them. Calculating Reparations: $1.5 Million for Each Slave Descendant in the U.S. by Denis Rancourt This article previously appeared on Mr. Rancourt’s web site, Activist Teacher. “This calculation includes only the money due to ancestors and their descendants, in terms of the stolen actual labor counted in person-hours.” It is not difficult to calculate a MINIMUM amount of...

In the wake of the Trump election, Portland’s Resistance aims to connect the new anti-Trump movement with those who have already been working towards social justice. Beginning as a Facebook page created by Lewis & Clark Law student Gregory McKelvey two days after the election, Portland’s Resistance (now with upwards of 20,600 likes) was borne out of several days of anti-Trump protests that happened in across America’s cities. I met McKelvey in a Miller classroom. Students passed by, leaving their early evening classes as I nervously scrolled through his Twitter. McKelvey walked down the stairs wearing a suit and bow...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently announced that $2.5 million in Clean Air Act Targeted Airshed grant funds will be awarded to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality to help improve air quality in southeastern Idaho's Cache Valley… to reduce air pollution caused by wood stoves, road dust and motor vehicles in the valley. said EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt “We’re pleased that Targeted Airshed grant funds will be available to help support the community's ability to take action on air quality issues and develop meaningful local solutions.”
