Warning: this video contains extremely graphic content.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VESsSJn88QTranscript: 49 people are dead in Orlando, in the worst mass shooting in the nation's history. Barack Obama initial public statement concerning this latest unspeakable horror can be summed up in a few sentences: First: Islam? What's that? Second: Easy access to guns caused the massacre Third: We Americans are to blame. Fourth: This is just another case of homegrown extremism. The word Islam never came up during the Presidents initial remarks to the nation, so let me see if I can fill in a bit of his educational deficiency. Mr. Obama, the word...

Donald Trump admitted that he regrets calling Sen. Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas" because "I think it's a tremendous insult to Pocahontas." In an interview with Fox News's Bill O'Reilly on "The O'Reilly Factor" on Monday, Trump unleashed on Warren, arguing that she "wouldn't" be his first choice to be ambassador to Tonga. "You know she's been a very, very poor senator," Trump insisted. "You know the funny thing about Elizabeth Warren, she's been a lousy senator. She's done a terrible job." When asked if he regrets calling Warren "Pocahontas," Trump replied, "I do. I do regret calling her Pocahontas because I...

I’m currently in Anchorage, Alaska. You may wonder what has caused the gay European population of Alaska to climb, well, 100%, and the answer is that I am in the United States because I no longer recognise the Europe I grew up in. I most often talk and write about the United States these days, but today I must talk to you about my homeland and the problems it faces. It is important that Americans understand these problems because Europe’s problems today will be America’s tomorrow if y’all don’t act to prevent them. For hundreds of years, Europe was a...

According to a Gallup poll taken in the week after the atrocity in Orlando, only 29% of Democrats thought this was an Islamic terror attack. Fully 60% of all Democrats attributed the attack to "domestic gun violence." Moreover 42% of independents felt the same way. Only 44% attributed it to the Islamic holy war that has been declared on America and the West.[1]How is this possible? During the massacre, the terrorist himself took pains to post messages declaring that his acts were acts of Islamic terror against America. "Now taste the Islamic state vengeance," one message said. Another warned, "in...

Attorney General Loretta Lynch overruled FBI Director James B. Comey on Thursday, saying the Obama administration does support a ban on firearms sales to those on terrorist watch lists. Mr. Comey last year had told Congress that the ban could end up alerting suspected terrorists that they are being investigated, and that could “blow” the cases his agents are trying to build. But his superiors at the Justice Department rejected that, issuing a statement Thursday saying they want to see Congress approve the “no-fly, no-buy” plan Democrats are pursuing. “The amendment gives the Justice Department an important additional tool to...

Michael Moore got shut down by a gun expert when he made a false statement about the ammunition Omar Mateen used when he opened fire on an Orlando gay club early Sunday morning. In several tweets Tuesday, the 62-year-old filmmaker said the ammunition used for AR-15s has been banned by the Geneva Convention because it "enters the body, spins & explodes." Moore said that if photos of the crime scene in Orlando were released, the NRA would be "over." Ammo used in AR-15/M-16 is banned by Geneva Convention. It enters the body, spins & explodes. Show the crime scene photos...

Gretchen Carlson is renewing her push for an AR-15 ban, firing off a series of tweets further criticizing AR-15s and pointed to her daughter’s work with a Newtown charity. Breitbart News reported that Carlson said that AR-15s are not needed “to hunt or kill deer” and suggested they only serve to enable terrorists to carry out their attacks with greater efficiency. She quoted a December 2015 poll showing majority support for an “assault weapons” ban and said, “I’m with the majority today, taking a stand.” When confronted by Second Amendment supporters on Twitter, Carlson doubled down on her pro-ban stance,...

The United States has just experienced the worst terrorist attack on its shores since September 11, 2001. Forty-nine innocent fellow Americans were wantonly slaughtered by a radicalized Muslim, and traitor, who had pledged his allegiance to a foreign entity, ISIS, whose declared objective is the re-institution of the Islamic Caliphate and the butchery of western infidels. These victims were murdered primarily because they were in a gay night club, thus subject to summary execution under Sharia Law, and secondly because they were Americans. Yet, today nearly all of the voices from the Left, and their front group, the Democratic Party,...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Well, I just listened to a little bit of Obama. I guess he's getting near the end of his -- wherever he is, somewhere in Washington, and he's making some speech about this. You know what he just said? Cookie, whatever you're doing drop it and just give me the last two minutes of what Obama just said. Whatever you're doing. As quickly as you can. I've gotta paraphrase this. Obama says something along the lines of (imitating Obama), "Throughout all of this, my critics, my friends on the other side of the aisle have been saying...

A New York Times editorial advocates for a new law allowing a secret court to take away citizens' right to own a gun at the discretion of the federal government.Citing the Orlando terror attack that left 50 dead including the shooter and 53 wounded at a gay nightclub, the piece advocates for a "no-buy" list similar to "no-fly" lists. Under the law, suspected terrorists would not be able to buy a gun. In an attempt to ensure the integrity of the lists and preserve due process, the author proposes people only be added to this no-buy list after a secret...

The frontman for Eagles of Death Metal, Jesse Hughes, is speaking boldly about gun ownership after his band was literally front and center during the Islamic terror attack at their performance at the Bataclan in Paris last November. With emotional wounds still fresh, Hughes tearfully spoke with French media as the Eagles of Death Metal head back to Paris for a Tuesday evening concert. Hughes said their return is a "sacred responsibility to finish the show." Hughes indicated that his beliefs about guns has been strengthened since that terrible night: Did your French gun control stop a single f***ing person...

The Orlando gunman's wife has told federal agents she tried to talk her husband out of carrying out the attack, NBC News has learned. Omar Mateen's current wife, Noor, told the FBI she was with him when he bought ammunition and a holster, several officials familiar with the case said. She told the FBI that she once drove him to the gay nightclub, Pulse, because he wanted to scope it out. Mateen opened fire at Pulse early Sunday, leaving 49 dead and 53 injured. Authorities are considering filing criminal charges against Noor for failing to tell them what she knew...

Genius. Obama lectures Americans on a big gun with a lot of clips in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDLQOaGwiaoOnce again our president has no idea what he’s talking about. President Obama spoke to reporters Monday about the terrorist attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando and said Omar Mateen had a “Glock which had a lot of clips in it.” Obama also said Mateen had an “assault rifle.” According to CNN, the President explained that Mateen acquired his guns via a background check. And he explained that the background check did not stop Manteen “because he did not have a criminal record that...

Hah-Hah! This afternoon Barack Obama endorsed Hillary Clinton in a video that was recorded on Tuesday. Trump immediately tweeted out a response while meeting with industry leaders. They all thought it was funny.

Full Title -- "Why today's young women are just so FEEBLE: They can't cope with ANY ideas that challenge their right-on view of the world, says a top academic" Some of the girls were sobbing and hugging each other, while others shrieked. The majority appeared at the very least shell-shocked. It was distress on a scale appropriate for some horrible disaster. Thankfully, however, I wasn't in a war zone or at the scene of a pile-up - but in a school hall filled with A-level students. What had provoked such hysteria? I'd dared express an opinion that went against their...

Hi everybody. I'm Bill Whittle and this is the Firewall. Bernie Sanders has bewitched a new generation of voting students by promising them free health care and free college. So I'd like to address this brief video to you young people who are Bernie supporters and are in it for the free college. Can we just think this through for a minute? Please? Let's say Bernie Sanders gets elected, the Democrats run the table and now we have a socialist President and Congress and sure enough Bernie Sanders passes a bill that says that every American now gets free college....

There are only two things I can tell you today that come with absolutely no agenda. The first is "Congratulations." The second is "Good luck." Everything else is what I like to call, "The Dirty Truth," which is just another way of saying, "It's my opinion." And in my opinion, you have all been given some terrible advice, and that advice, is this: Follow your passion. Every time I watch the Oscars, I cringe when some famous movie star--trophy in hand--starts to deconstruct the secret of their success. It's always the same thing: "Don't let anyone tell you that you...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Phillip in Sarasota, Florida. I'm glad you waited, sir. You're up first today. Big responsibility. How are you? CALLER: Hey, thanks. Thanks for taking the call. RUSH: Yeah. CALLER: All right, so with Trump criticizing the media, I like what he's doing. I like what he's doing. But the attitude of contentiousness, well, it definitely reflects the population at large with their attitude of contentiousness toward the media with all their lies and collusion. But, in order to make my point, I want to flash back to the 1960s, Cold War, the Soviet spies were getting a...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: This business that Trump doesn't like scrutiny. And, folks, you'll forgive me. I'm really not trying to interject myself into this, but in order to actually be complete and trying to make my point, I think I can trade on personal experiences I've had with the media that make the point that I'm trying to make here. I predicted what happened, and it happened. I predicted what would happen, and that is that the narrative of that press conference would change from Trump and whatever he did or didn't do with donations to the vets, to Trump's...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: We're gonna get to the gorilla business. That's easily explained, too. Folks, you remember when the two fish, what kind of fish were they, I keep thinking dolphins or porpoises, way back in the nineties, a couple of them got caught in sea ice, way far north of where they should have been, and the whole country became captivated with, will they find their way out? What can we do? Can we cut holes in the ice so that the porpoise, the dolphins, whatever they were, can we guide them out? Can we do something? Can we...
