It might be maintenance but the home page merely says: We're sorry, but something went wrong on our end.

11 years ago today, a cartoonist in Seattle posted this cartoon:Draw Mohammad Day went viral! Two would be assassins even tried to mass murder a Draw Mohammad event. They found out the hard way what happens when you mess with Texas. My favorite Draw Mohammad drawing is the chalk outline of where those two guys got greased.

Democrats in Congress want the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to block the sale of a tiny south Florida radio station because the new owner fired a Hillary Clinton fundraiser who once served as mayor of a local city. The politician turned radio host, Raul Martinez, was the Spanish-language station’s top host before a conservative media conglomerate bought it and changed the liberal-leaning programming. The deal received sparse local media coverage but earned national attention when lawmakers in Washington D.C. asked a federal agency to reject the sale for what appears to be political reasons.It all seems to be connected to...

Former Vice President Walter Mondale, a liberal icon who lost one of the most lopsided presidential elections after bluntly telling voters to expect a tax increase if he won, has died

In George Orwell’s book ‘1984’ the party is continuously rewriting history so that the party is always right. I can think of a few versions of history that has been deliberately rewritten by the left so they are always "right'.McCarthyism. The truth is Communists really were trying to take over America and McCarthy was literally smeared to death. Nazi’s are on the right : A lie pushed by Joe Stalin himself after his ally to take over the world took on Stalin instead. Christian’s are anti-science . It was in Christian Europe that the Scientific Revolution started! Civil War was...

The great reset or how to Make America Even Greater Why do people have Governments at all? Clearly the rule of law is essential to Civilization and Governments are what make those laws possible. If you happen to like Civilization and its benefits you have to put up with some entity that makes peaceful commerce possible. It’s when the law is used to protect criminals instead of protecting you from them that Governments lose their reason for existing. Socialism is just another name for legalized theft and that is exactly the direction America is heading right now . With...

‘Judgment at Nuremberg’ is a movie about Nazi Judges who let the Law itself become a weapon of evil . It is a powerful film with Burt Lancaster playing the part of Ernst Janning , a man who was once a highly esteemed judge in Germany. Spoiler Alert! If you have not seen the movie ‘Judgment at Nuremberg’ what I’m posting here is what I believe is the most important scene in the movie. Judge Dan Haywood: Herr Janning, you may proceed.Janning: I wish to testify about the Feldenstein case because it was the most significant trial of the period....

***THE CHEAP KNOCKOFF FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD*** Satisfaction guaranteed or no money back!Release the Kraken History is full of examples of people who messed with the wrong folks. After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor America opened up a can whoop a** that actually became radioactive at one point.When Communist dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu spoke from his palatial palace to an assembled crowd in Romania he found out the hard way they were not liking it.Bin Laden thought he was going to get brownie points in Heaven for attacking America. He ended up getting roasted brown in Hell instead.79% of Trump voters believe...

Friday Silliness ThreadSpecial End of America editionIt’s been a great 250 years or so. Americas have sent men to the moon and probes to the far reaches of the Solar System. At the smallest scale American alchemy created new transuranic elements and some awesome bombs! Our culture dominates the landscape worldwide! American achievement is simply too vast to list even a fraction of all the great things Americans have done. Sadly if this stolen election succeeds then we all know they will steal the Senate election in Georgia.They have to become the law in order to continue to stay above...

I have a idea for a protest at the capital. For Arizona where open carry is legal you come armed. In other states where it is not you come with toy guns. You elect right there at the rally squad leaders and start teaching people how to march in formation. Even the kids get there own separate squad. (Imagine how THAT would freak out the left!) . The idea is to sing while marching in formation! Once in formation you start singing “Battle Hymn of the Republic”: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- The Bernalillo County district attorney filed a lawsuit Monday against the New Mexico Civil Guard, a group that has showed up at protests in military-like uniforms, carrying guns, and telling people they are there to protect property. "When you have self-appointed police officers and military units out there advancing their own form of justice, there is no democratic accountability," District Attorney Raul Torrez said.  The lawsuit asks a judge to order the New Mexico Civil Guard to stop representing itself as a police force. "What is affected is their ability to organize, train and operate as an unlawful...

By now you've heard about this week's decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court. Conservative Review's Daniel Horowitz sums them up well in a piece entitled, "Conservatives get massacred by fake 'conservative' SCOTUS": Within 35 minutes today at 10 a.m. Eastern, what some thought was the most conservative Supreme Court of all time concocted a fundamental right to transgenderism in the context of labor law, erased the Second Amendment, and interfered with a state death penalty case, but declined to interfere with a California law that criminalizes law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration agents. Taken in totality, the “conservative” legal movement,...

The Chinese Communist Party has threatened that American politicians seeking to hold China accountable for the coronavirus pandemic will face “severe consequences,” including targeted economic sanctions. An article in the Communist Party’s propaganda outlet, the Global Times, names many Republicans by name, including Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Martha McSally (R-Ariz.), and Rick Scott (R-Fla.), along with Reps. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) and Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas). It also names the attorneys general of Missouri and Mississippi, the two states that filed lawsuits against China.

The World is under attack from something much worse than the Corona Virus: It is under attack from a Socialism Mind Virus. Dennis Prager calls the actions taken against the ChiCom virus as ‘the greatest mistake in the history of humanity’. I find it hard to come up with a counter example. The Income Tax amendment is what I consider the worst mistake America has ever made but it was not worldwide. With so many economies pounded into the dirt I have little doubt more will die because of the actions taken than will die of the actual virus....

Another Communist dear leader in Limboland! So where is he? I don't know but this is a good time to have a little bit of fun until we do! I'll warm it up a bit with these offerings:

Kirk Douglas last of the golden age of Hollywood, dead at 103.

I just saw this video on YouTube and it has me wondering. Did the missle attack from Iran fail not because their missiles were badly aimed but because the America defenses were so effective?

Mr Secretary General, Mr. President, world leaders, and distinguished delegates, welcome to New York. It is a profound honor to stand here in my home city as a representative of the American people to address the people of the world. As millions of our citizens continue to suffer the effects of the devastating hurricanes that have struck our country, I want to begin by expressing my appreciation to every leader in this room who has offered assistance and aid. The American people are strong and resilient, and they will emerge from these hardships more determined than ever before. Fortunately, the...

On an earlier thread AOC got caught faking a photo shoot. I figured she needed her own thread to cry on. Enjoy! (and feel free to pile on).

It’s beginning to look like Obama has been spying on all sorts of Americans way before he spied on Trump. The list of victims just keeps getting longer: Congressmen, reporters, probably judges as well when he was not having them smothered with pillows. This is way beyond Watergate, this is activity that endangered the very fabric of American freedom itself. If not for Hillary losing who knows how bad the state of the republic would be today? This was a crime against America, indeed civilization itself, because America is its best defender. It needs a label worthy of the crime....
