  • Our children's future depends on us defeating Islamic extremism

    The horrific scenes of ISIS attacking Paris brought us all to realize that the clear and present danger of the 21st century is none other than Islamic fundamentalism and extremism. Unfortunately, it reminded Americans of 9/11, Londoners of 7/7 and Madrid residents of the horrific 2004 metro bombings. It also acted as a wakeup call for people across the globe about how vulnerable our way of life is at the hands of fanatics that can easily cause havoc even in the leading capital of Europe. All these attacks were the works of one single enemy: Islamic fundamentalism and extremism. And...

    Winter is coming. And with it, the Republican Party could see a third season of its presidential primary dominated by Donald Trump. The collective wisdom after the Paris terrorist attacks—that voters would gravitate toward a battle-tested, policy-minded candidate with experience to lead in such turbulent times has yet to take hold. In fact, Trump not only continues to top polls, but a new survey of Iowa voters shows he is considered the best candidate to handle terrorism.

    Elections Rush Limbaugh: ‘Compared To Reagan, Trump Is Not A Conservative’ [VIDEO] Photo of Steve Guest Steve Guest Media Reporter 3:59 PM 11/24/2015 981 Radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday that Donald Trump is “not a conservative” when compared with former President Ronald Reagan. Limbaugh explained, that “compared to Reagan, Trump is not a conservative, and the bulk of Trump’s support is not the Republican base.” “As we mentioned yesterday, if you look at the demographics, at least as expressed polling data, the bulk of Trump support is what we all have been led to believe the Republican Party wants:...

    In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday, Nov. 13, it has come to light that Brian Williams was actually on the ground reporting from all the physical attack locations in Paris simultaneously. Apparently, Mr. Williams -- slightly injured in the attacks -- interviewed Hillary Clinton, and she stated that the cause of the attacks was a YouTube film. When asked to identify which film, she said that that information was highly classified and contained on one of her personal file servers which has been temporarily misplaced. Immediately after the 3 explosions outside the Stade de France...

  • Western Washington University Cancels All Classes Because of "Online Hate Speech"

    iOTW Report ^ | 11/24/15 | Aurelius
    All classes on campus have been cancelled for the immediate future at Western Washington University because someone posted "hate speech" on social media yesterday. President Bruce Shepard sent out a message to students and staff today, saying that someone posted "hate speech" online "targeted at Western students of color." "I need to be VERY clear here," he wrote, "we are not talking the merely insulting, rude, offensive commentary that trolls and various other lowlifes seem free to spew, willy nilly, although there has been plenty of that, too. No, this was hate speech." Thus, all classes have been cancelled. President...
  • Other States Divulge What Michigan's Corporate Welfare Arm Keeps Secret

    Michigan Capitol Confidential ^ | 11/20/2015 | Jack Spencer
    The Michigan Economic Development Corporation — the state's corporate welfare arm — won’t disclose the companies to which it hands out public money. In other states, this type of information is routinely made available, which strongly suggests the barriers to doing so in Michigan are strictly homegrown. “Bottom line is that there is absolutely no reason — business climate or privacy — to not disclose corporate income tax credits, and the trend among states is absolutely toward more disclosure of them,” said Greg LeRoy, the executive director of Washington, D.C.-based Good Jobs First, a group that monitors businesses. “States are...

    Six Shooter Junction - Video from DPS pole cameras and in-car video from Waco Police Officer Michael Bucher's unit will not be provided until "after analysis" if attorneys sign an extensive "agreement on discovery and nondisclosure of evidence," an examination of the proffered document shows. Officer Michael Bucher is an alleged shooter involved in the rifle fire of Waco Police Officers on May 17 at Twin Peaks Restaurant at a Confederation of Clubs meeting that left 9 dead, 20 wounded, and the arrest of 177 persons. A Grand Jury in November cleared he and two other officers of any wrongdoing...

    We Americans are a kind and compassionate mostly-Christian people. History backs up that claim. However, our enemies have perfected the art of using our kindness and compassion against us. At no time has this been demonstrated more vividly than today, when Muslim and Leftist propagandists use the horrible plight of children and women (a plight Leftists and Muslims brought about) to try and tug on our heartstrings so that we will naively admit millions more Islamists into our country, a large majority of whom perfectly fit the profile of those who have committed thousands of vicious terrorist attacks around the...

    A Leader-for Change On March 17, 1980, after consulting with his daughter Amy James Earl Carter, President of the United States and fearless bunny rabbit fighter, signed into law the United States Refugee Act of 1980 which implemented a number of provisions set down by the United Nations. Limits on the numbers of refugees admitted per fiscal year were raised to 50,000 from 17,000 and special provisions were put in place for “emergency” resettlement. Also, the definition of what constitutes a refugee was altered so as to comport with U.N. opinions on the subject. Refugees were now defined as: “owing...

    They're quite happy with "strategic patience" and "leading from behind" when it comes to bloodthirsty terrorists, but let a corporation seek to lower its tax bill . . . time for action! You can usually tell where people’s hearts really are by what animates them. There are situations when they know they’re supposed to look and sound passionate. And then there are situations in which they really are. There was much fire-breathing on Capitol Hill yesterday, not because of the growing urgency to stop the next ISIS beheading, burning, drowning or mass shooting - but because a U.S. corporation found...

    A report indicating that 9,000 businesses have relocated headquarters and other operating units outside of California in the last seven years was hailed by Governor Jerry Brown (D) as "encouraging news." According to the report prepared by Joseph Vranich, a site selection consultant and president of Irvine, California-based Spectrum Location Solutions, the exiting companies experienced cost-savings of 20-35%. "Some will try to characterize this as a loss for the state, but I don't see it that way," Brown said. "Wage-slavery is one the greatest infringements on personal freedom in our time. By inducing 9,000 exploiters to leave we are reducing...

    Jews for Ted Cruz ^ | libertarian neocon
    The latest Quinnipiac Iowa poll had great news for Ted Cruz on several fronts. He is surging and now is just behind Donald Trump for the lead (technically a statistical tie): There is good news and bad news in the fact that he has 42% of those who consider themselves Tea Party.  The good news is that the Tea Party vote is not as divided as it has been in previous cycles and that Cruz seems to be the consensus Tea Party pick (not a shock based on my Twitter feed).  The bad news is that with such a level...
