Comey needs the Democrats to win in 2020 to vindicate Comey The firing of James Comey was a shock to many and may have been to him, or his apparent ego, but it is now apparent that the first Deep State casualty of the “Swamp Wars” may have been justified. Comey was portrayed as a thorough professional, and although he was a registered Republican, he was not supposed to be affected by Party politics in his job. Even in May of 2017, just after Comey was fired, Peter Elkind, writing in The New Yorker took great pains to defend what...

Anti-Caucasian, anti-male, anti-Christian and 'Unconscious Bias' curriculum Los Angeles attorney Eric Early, working with a group of Santa Barbara parents and teachers over anti-Caucasian, anti-male, anti-Christian and ‘Unconscious Bias’ curriculum, filed a complaint Monday evening in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of Fair Education Santa Barbara against the Santa Barbara Unified School District and JUST Communities Central Coast.

Border Security is National Security President Donald Trump is not Nancy Pelosi’s type of guy. Whine Cellar King Chuck Schumer and those brave boys grown tall hiding behind the voluminous skirts of the #MeToo Movement coyly identifying as ‘feminists’ are. Males who wear their self guilt as openly as they do their neckties such as Michael Skolnik, who as it turns out, led Louis Farrakhan advocating women lemming-like out on the Big Women’s March, are much more Pelosi’s cup of tepid tea.|

Today’s post is in honor of Sgt. Jarrod W. Black, who was killed by an improvised explosive device on this day in 2003 in Ramadi, Iraq. Black, 26, of Peru, Ind. was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 34th Armor Regiment. 1753: 21-year-old Virginia adjutant George Washington delivers an ultimatum for French forces to abandon Fort Le Boeuf (present-day Waterford, Penn.) as they were trespassing on British territory. Lt. Christopher Gist, Washington’s guide, would save the future president’s life twice during their trip through the Ohio Country. 1770: Six British soldiers charged with murder for their role in the Boston Massacre...

By: Hassan. Mahmoudi After a 2 day trip to Italy by Zarif, the Iranian regime’s Foreign Minister, from which he returned on Friday (date?), his deputy, Araghchi, and Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization, went to Brussels on Saturday. The main purpose of these trips, according to Araghchi, is to save the JCPOA, which is not at all in good condition and currently at a critical point of high risk. State TV channel 2 (NOV 26 2018) in an article titled "Europe's Controversy at the Political Heart of the Green Continent," interpreted the news as follows: Araghchi, deputy foreign...

The proper term for the actions of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill graduate student assistants and instructors threatening to withhold grades unless Silent Sam—a statue of a Confederate soldier who was pulled off his pedestal by a mob of activists in August—is removed from campus is not “strike,” as the activists claim. It is “blackmail.” Blackmail is when one individual or group holds information over another’s head to force them to do their bidding. Granted, this one has a slight twist; usually, blackmail consists of somebody having damaging information that will humiliate or damage their victim unless...

Referencing an incident involving John Kelly and Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL), New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lambasted the outgoing White House Chief of Staff claiming he is a coward. Kelly had a very public clash with Wilson when the congresswoman used the death of an American soldier to criticize President Trump while later celebrating that the incident had made her “a rock star.” Wilson listened in on a conversation between Trump and the wife of slain U.S. Army Sgt. La David Johnson, alleging that the President callously said her husband ‘knew what he signed up for.’ Kelly responded by blasting...

A court recently upheld New Jersey’s ban on firearm magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but state officials have steadfastly refused to inform the citizens just how they intend to enforce that law. But the fact that it was upheld and coupled with news in a growing list of other states — not to mention the noise from Washington DC proves that the Democrats intend to make 2019 the year of gun confiscation and ending the Second Amendment in every way without saying it openly. As to New Jersey, Governor Phil Murphy signed the ban on extended magazines in...

Police in France are looking for the suspect in a terrorist attack near a Christmas market in Strasbourg that killed three people and wounded 12 others. The terrorist suspect is known to French authorities who raided his home yesterday. Authorities revealed today that the attacker shouted "Allahu Akhbar"....

The Left is fond of calling we who hold to the principles of freedom, self-empowerment, equality under the law, law-and-order, strong defense, family values, etc. as fascist. Let us review what fascism is about and who is actually fascist: If you have no problem with big government/high taxes because "we are the government" you are a #Statist. If you think that everything is generated by society, so resources should be allocated by its agent, the State, you are a #Collectivist. If you think private property should only be tolerated if it serves the public interest as determined by the...

Speer's Grand Slam expands well, is available for cartridges from .243 to .375 for midsized, arge game. It was the last day of the New York firearm deer season, and I had been having a rough go of it. To be honest, it was one of the worst seasons I'd ever had; I began to believe that all the antlered deer had been rounded up and shipped to a different part of the world. The morning had been spent watching the gray squirrels doing squirrelly things, and I sat rather melancholy after lunch, wondering if one more hunt was even...

The party that likes to tout transparency met with President Trump yesterday to discuss funding the border wall and repeatedly called on him to shut down the cameras so they could discuss it in private. "This is a most unfortunate thing. We came in here in good faith and we’re entering this kind of discussion in the public view.” – Pelosi How dare he - exposing us to the public this way!? Caught with their pants down, so to speak, as they’ve both been on record as being in favor of a border wall before they were against it. Just...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Beto Mania Update: A guy calling himself “Michael Falotico” (it may be his real name, but you just never know on social media these days) on Twitter responded to my “Day of Beto” yesterday by saying “Yes, I agree with you that Beto will be the Democrats’ nominee for President in 2020. I may differ with you, however, in that I think he could win the whole thing, i.e., get elected President.” Well, we don’t differ at all, Michael. Sitting here almost two years prior to Election Day 2020, I also think...

In just hours (1pm Eastern Time US) the Conservative Party MP's are holding a snap vote on Theresa May's leadership of the Conservative Party. Enough Tory MP's signed letters (48) to trigger the vote in opposition to her Brexit plan. In 1990 the pro-European Union forces triggered a leadership vote in opposition to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Even though Thatcher won a majority of the vote, but needed a second ballot to get a bigger majority, she ended up deciding to leave. If May wins the vote, will her political operatives spin the tale that she won a great victory...

Arrested three months before the defeat of Hitler’s Germany, his first reaction was like that of the millions he would later write about: “Me? What for?” A decorated captain of an artillery battery that had fought its way deep into East Prussia, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was at the time a committed Marxist-Leninist. He even fantasized he was being whisked to a meeting with Stalin. In fact, military censors had read his letter exchanges with a boyhood friend, also in the army, in which they criticized Stalin (“the mustachioed one”) for having deviated from the path laid down by Lenin. It was...

SAVANNAH — (WJCL)- Wayfair is bringing 1000 jobs to our local community. The online home decor store is setting up shop in Savannah after looking at several cities. Savannah’s location and infrastructure played into the decision. The port and airport were also big selling points.
