commentary by John Velisek USN (Ret), staff writer Via CNS News: “ ‘There is nothing sanctimonious’ or arrogant in the State Department’s publication of an annual report on human rights around the world, Secretary of State John Kerry said Thursday, adding that the U.S. cannot help but be humble itself given the racial tensions at home over the past year. Releasing the latest report – covering 2014 and issued 120 days late – Kerry said some foreign governments may take issue with it. ‘My advice to any leader who is upset by these findings is really to examine them, to...

Democrats are almost universally praising the Supreme Court's 5-4 opinion imposing gay marriage on all 50 states. Have these Democrats always felt this way? You know they haven't -- but check out the flip-flops.

Since the end of the American Civil War, America has been admired around the world for its ability to remain more-or-less unified in its diversity.  But lately I’ve noticed signs of that unity breaking, in what I would call the end of the “loyal opposition.” In parliamentary governments, there’s a ruling party or coalition which gets to form the government, appoint ministers, and generally run things, while the other not-in-power party or parties sit back and snipe as the “loyal opposition.”  They are opposition in the sense that they don’t support the majority/government party, but considered loyal to the nation...

1) Conservatives are racist! Nonsense. Conservatives welcome all races and colors in our quest to defend our founding ideals. Likewise, we unilaterally reject divisive victimization propaganda used to incite animosity and discord along racial and economic lines. Although there are racist elements in all facets of America, such endeavors are intrinsically destructive and invite future bigotry upon yourself and peers. Why else would “racist” Republicans support Allen West, Ben Carson, Mia Love, and Marco Rubio, let alone embrace the lives and transcendent wisdom of Booker T. Washington, Martin Luther King Jr. and Thomas Sowell? Not supporting Barack Obama’s Marxist agenda...

I am white. I was born and raised in South Carolina, a state to which my grandmother’s family came in the 1600s. They owned slaves. Part of her family were Pinckneys, which means that someone in my family may have owned someone in the family of the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, who was killed in the terrorist attack on Charleston’s Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church Wednesday night. Those same people who owned his ancestors were likely involved in, or at least aware of, the suppression first of the Stono rebellion in 1739 — which resulted in mass executions and the placement...

Barack Obama can have a gun free zone when America has a Marxist free government. He alone bears much of the responsibility for the animosity and violence currently plaguing this nation. Purposely inciting race and class warfare, undermining Christian values, solely to galvanize your base and create a false narrative to justify pursuing your radical agenda is hardly unity and hope. If you push both white and black America to the brink of paranoia and hostility with divisive rhetoric, blatant favoritism and petulant political threats, what do you think is going to happen; barbeques and bonfires? Instead of honoring the...

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush’s speech that launched his presidential campaign on Monday noted that Hillary Clinton’s “progressive agenda” includes the admonition that traditional religious beliefs “have to be changed.” Mrs. Clinton’s entire quote, in talking about opposition to her version of feminism and demands for abortion, was that “…deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.” Bush also said of the Democrats, “They have offered a progressive agenda that includes everything but progress.” But it’s never been the case that the progressive agenda offers real progress, as ordinary people understand the term. Instead, the “progressives”...

Why is it that those who demand tolerance for every sexual perversion and every abomination inspired by a “religion” have an hysterical reaction to firearms? I would bet most individuals hyper-critical of guns have never fired one and wouldn’t wish to if given the chance. Their aversion to even rationally discussing the subject of firearms borders on the pathological. A true standout of the hoplophobe community is sfgate blogger, Mark Morford. Mr. Morford has gun owners all figured out and is eager to share his insights with the rest of the world. I laughed loudly after reading what this smug,...

Before the end of its current term (June 30th), the United States Supreme Court will determine whether the law of the land is established in the Constitution or by the various bureaucracies working to impose the agenda of the Obama Regime. IF the Court decides in favor of the Constitution, ObamaCare–the Affordable Care Act–will be destroyed financially. It will effectively cease to exist. In November of last year, the Court agreed to hear King v Burwell, a suit filed against the Internal Revenue Service for usurping the power of Congress by granting itself the authority to spend $800 billion tax...

Now that we know that race is a state of mind, rather than a genetic inheritance, the question must be asked: is Barack Obama secretly a white man? Perhaps, like Rachel Dolezal, he tells people that he is black, but he is actually white. Again, black is an attitude, a state of mind. Sure, it helps if you braid your hair into long ropes and tie it on top of your head like Dolezal did, or have an afro during your pot- and cocaine-using days like Obama. But what really counts is what is going on inside your mind. And...

We are an enlightened people who tend to do what is best for ourselves, our family and ultimately our nation. Our inalienable—that is, God given—rights form the most important part of our Constitution and have been ingrained in the psyche of the American people. The Second Amendment has stood the test of time even though it has been under attack from progressives for as long as I can remember. In the past, there has been concern for individuals who owned guns, and this concern has reached a fever pitch. Congress was right to cut funding from the ATF to stop...

According to Barack Obama, “We Don’t Yet Have a Complete Strategy” against ISIS in Iraq Monday at the G-7 Summit in Germany, President Barack Obama said after months of engaging ISIS in an air war over Iraq and Syria while supposedly building up an international coalition to fight them on the ground in the absence of U.S. ground troops, the Administration does not “yet have a complete strategy.” Obama said, “We’re reviewing a range of plans for how we might do that, essentially accelerating the number of Iraqi forces that are properly trained and equipped and have a focused strategy...

On November 11 of 2014, the Supreme Court granted cert to hear King v Burwell, a suit filed to prevent the Internal Revenue Service usurping the role and authority of Congress by re-writing the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Affordable Care Act provides tax credits and subsidies for the purchase of health insurance through exchanges that are run by “a governmental agency or nonprofit entity that is established by a state.” Currently, 34 states have refused to build an ObamaCare Exchange and of the 16 (plus the District of Columbia) which did cobble together an exchange, 13 are still in...

RT reported on Tuesday that San Diego prankster and conspiracy theorist Mark Dice took to the streets of San Diego and solicited signatures on a petition to support what he called President Obama’s plan for a preemptive nuclear strike against Russia. A surprising number of people signed the petition with barely a comment. Vocativ suggested that the news of the fake petition was causing quite a bit of consternation inside Russia, being seen as proof of American hostility against that country.

The defunct mainstream media conveniently dropped news offerings on the huge scandals engulfing Democrat Senator Jeanne Shaheen, some of which surfaced just before the November, 2014 election fight with Senator Scott Brown (R-MA who moved to NH). Brown was up by a point and one half one week before the election! This week’s hearings on the IRS targeting of Conservative, non-profit 501 (c) (4) may be commendable; however, the damage has already been done. And once again, the corrupt tactics of the Democrats and their win at any cost methods paid off for Shaheen. “Mary Howard, IRS’s Director of Privacy,...

#BlackLivesMatter presents itself as an organization that is concerned about various aspects of concerns in the universal Black Disunity. Yet, because they fail to stand up for the lives of the most vulnerable Black Lives; that is, the Black babies in the womb, of which 33% conceived are aborted, #BlackLIvesMatter is a joke and is destructive to all Black Americans. #BlackLIvesMatter is trying to convince Blacks that they are powerless victims. They are too closely tied to the Democratic liberal agenda to commit genocide against Blacks.

This is not Alabama, this is not 1960 and George Wallace is not governor. We have a President who is incompetent, a narcissist and a liar; a President whose legacy is more important than the people of this country or of the world. He is a President who, as a result of his agenda and leadership, has made the United States a global laughingstock. We have a First Lady who, throughout her years of growing up and attending prestigious schools, was never once was proud of her country. She was only proud when her husband, the Muslim/Socialist-in-chief was elected. Affirmative...

June 3, 2015CNN POLL: GEORGE W. BUSH MORE POPULAR THAN SINKING BARACK OBAMA John Nolte EXCERPT......Bush’s favorability increase — his first in positive territory since leaving office — is likely due to two things. First, Bush has been nothing but a class act as a former president. He has stayed out of the public eye, except to further the causes like those of America’s wounded warriors. He’s removed himself completely from politics. People appreciate a class act, and Bush has been nothing but.Secondly, Bush’s approval numbers were primarily dragged down by the Iraq War. In hindsight, though, the American people...
