Concerned that some of the nation's resources may be out of their reach, Sens. Al Franken (D-Minn) and Chris Coons (D-Del) are demanding that "all businesses fully disclose where all their money is." "As President Obama said when he was nominated for his second term, government is the only entity we all belong to," Franken recalled. "It is every business' and every individual's duty to do the utmost to ensure the survival of this single unifying entity. At a minimum, this means making all of their financial resources known to the government so they may be appropriated if the need...

On average, Democrats (that’s my team (*) see footnote below) use guns for shooting the innocent. We call that crime. On average, Republicans use guns for sporting purposes and self-defense. If you don’t believe me, you can check the statistics on the Internet that don’t exist. At least I couldn’t find any that looked credible. But we do know that race and poverty are correlated. And we know that poverty and crime are correlated. And we know that race and political affiliation are correlated. Therefore, my team (Clinton) is more likely to use guns to shoot innocent people, whereas the...

The left is a little touchy about the rejection of its world-changing ideas I think it basically comes down to this: Once the left establishes an institution and populates that institution with its kind, the institution can never be diminished in the slightest - let alone dismantled - because that represents a setback for the left’s march toward the power to engineer the entire social and economic order. That will not do. Think about the way they look at public schools, which are heavily staffed by unionized teachers who always toe the Democrat line: If anyone chooses to pull their...

And RNC delegates don't need to do the dirty work of him and others like him The well known conservative writer and TV commentator George Will has finally crossed the line of reason. He’s leaving the Republican Party because of Donald Trump. It gets worse! In a recent speech, he actually hoped that Hillary would defeat Trump in the fall, which would produce gridlock in D.C. There’s more!

This handgun shooting drill was created by Special Forces veteran Mike Pannone of CTT Solutions. This drill is designed to test and enhance your shooting accuracy while on the move. Here's the Drill The target is placed 10 yards away from the shooter. There are three shooting points. The first one is directly in front of the target. The second and third points are at five yards away from the center at opposite ends. At the signal, the shooter has 30 seconds to fire the first round from the holster, quickly move to one of the outside positions, come to...

If freedom holds any value, we must educate our neighbors to the link between property and human rights, and the dangers of a government that can peel off either on a whim President Obama is successfully executing the most dangerous seizure of individual choice in our history because Americans are growing blind to the bond between property rights and human rights. While farm owners surrender their land development rights to governments, federal agencies relocate affordable housing next to million dollar homes, and declare entire neighborhoods discriminatory.

Which is why the elite don't see what the problem is To listen to the howling and wailing from the political and media elites, you’d think the British people were forcing their government to close all the hospitals and burn all the schools down. The reaction to Britain’s exit from the European Union has been that over-the-top hysterical. The British Empire survived for many centuries before anyone ever conceived of the EU – which was only established in 1993 – and I think it can probably do just fine once again not being a member of it. But you’d never...

If you were to be fired from your job for negative performance, do you think you would get a severance package valued over three-quarters of a million dollars? I know I wouldn’t, but Valeria Silva is. Silva has been superintendent of the St. Paul, Minnesota, school district since 2009. During her tenure, school violence has been on the rise and a number of people blame her and her policies. Apparently, Silva is a fan of the Pacific Educational Group, a radical San Francisco consulting firm that concentrates on fighting white privilege at the cost of black and Hispanic students. They...

Of course, the media won't tell you this. Liberal and anti-Trump conservative websites won't tell you this either.Donald Trump wants to get control of our borders, stop illegal immigration and temporarily suspend the mass immigration of Muslims until Congress can get a hold on what to do about what's going on and who's coming from where. Donald Trump wants to get control of our borders, stop illegal immigration and temporarily suspend the mass immigration of Muslims until Congress can get a hold on what to do about what's going on and who's coming from where. Hillary wants the opposite which...

Submitted by Ryan McMaken via The Mises Institute, That didn't take long. Only hours after the final results came in for a British exit from the EU, political leaders in Scotland are talking about renewing their drive to secede from the United Kingdom. Pointing to the fact that a large majority of Scots voted to remain in the EU, Scottish advocates for independence are now claiming (convincingly) that Scotland is leaving the EU against its will. Many of us who advocated for Scottish secession in 2014 were, of course fine with Scottish secession at the time. And we're still fine...

Falling into a classic political trap is not a presidential characteristic voters are seeking Donald Trump’s campaign is now nearing the event horizon of a political black hole, or more crudely, beginning to circle the toilet bowl. If Trump thinks he can win the general election by continuing to go forward with what has gone on over the past week, the Hillary Clinton machine is about to teach him a lesson of epic proportions.

"He's a baby Christian." If you’re a Christian who’s been reluctant to vote for Donald Trump because of his past - shall we say - moral shortcomings, a secondhand report of his possible salvation is certainly not a reason all by itself to change that position. And as we’ve discussed in the past, it’s entirely possible God could be using Trump regardless of his faith or lack thereof. But one thing any Christian should recognize is that a person’s past is cleansed once they come to Christ, so if Dr. James Dobson is accurately reporting what he says happened recently,...

In case you were wondering where all those "Syrian" refugees were ending up look no further than Houston, the new mecca of "diversity". Here are the numbers hitting this once homogenous Texas city. According to Breitbart, Texas has been a leader in importing tax-payer funded refugees taking in 2,677 since Oct. 2015. http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2016/05/02/texas-leads-nation-refugee-resettlement/ The Houston Chronicle reports that Texas received 213 of which 90 were settled in Houston for FY 2015 , http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Houston-to-receive-large-share-of-Syrian-refugees-6025582.php. Houston is loaded up with Refugee Industry contractors that are eager to accept refugees as they receive millions from the federal treasury to help transform the United...

Hillary is still going with the 1990's game plan. Say nothing and let the Media carry the water for her. Hillary claims Trump is not presidential. She says he doesn't have the temperment for the job. She says he has no substance on the issues. What exactly are the issues? Trump has said he will reverse Obama's Executive Actions, build a wall, fix the tax code, create a better economy, etc... Hillary has said nothing. She only has the positions of Obama and the old Clinton Machine. Where is her tax plan? What are her ideas for illegals? Will she...

Did you ever - and I mean ever - think the San Francisco Gay Pride parade would be boycotted for not being queer enough? Because it was too corporate, too straight and too white…to “feel like an appropriate setting to show LGBT solidarity?” Yeah, me either. And not only that butt it’s apparently too racist as well: The Bay Area’s chapter of Black Lives Matter (BLM) has officially pulled out of San Francisco’s gay pride parade because the city is providing an increased police presence for security. –Breitbart Don’t you hate it when your identity groups fight amongst themselves?Meanwhile, in international...

Another young girl slaughtered by savages– her dead body found in a bedroom of a refugee center. But do not speak ill of them, you brutes, you’ll hurt their feelings. The primary concern of the EU is for the Muslim migrants, not their own citizens. They send these innocent girls to work in these refugee centers, like sheep to slaughter. The fact they Sweden did not halt all Muslim immigration after Alexandra Mehzer’s savage murder demonstrates that they are already dead. Another young Swedish girl murdered –I blame the leftist elites who put this girl in jeopardy, who lie about...

A New Hampshire business is cashing in on the high popularity of the AR15 style rifles. Owner Mike Hagan is a combat vet of Afghanistan.  His company offers a veterans' discount as well.  He isn't intimidated by political correctness. From nh1.com: Owner Mike Hagan, of Hagan's Motor Pool Auto Repair and Sales, told Fox25 that several people have taken him up on the deal so far. “I have given away four AR-15s and one 9mm handgun, which is the other option if you don't want the AR-15,” he said. Hagan has partnered with a nearby gun store for the...

A Baltimore rapper named Tyriece Travon Watson, who went by the stage name Lor Scoota, was fatally shot in broad daylight at a busy intersection in Friday, police said. He was 23 years old.

He was driving in his car when an unknown black male wearing a white bandana stepped into the street and opened fire, Baltimore police said. Watson was brought to a local hospital but died from his injuries.
