TruNews reporter claims he spoke today to a "national security level source" who claims one of "the dangerous leaks", in a clip where Kellyanne Conway detailed such leaks, may have actually led to the death of chief special warfare operator William Ryan Owen. His source told him today that an Obama era loyalist likely leaked mission critical information about the impending raid to enemies on the ground. According to his source, surveillance drones were flying at 30,000'and there is no way they could have been heard or seen at that altitude from the ground. Also according to his source, it's...

The good news for Democrats is that the apathy of many of their voters — which contributed to Hillary Clinton's losing in November — is gone now that Donald Trump is president. We have never in living memory seen an electorate as fired up and angry and engaged as they are right now, Ben Wikler, Washington director of the left-wing group Moveon.org, told RealClearPolitics. The bad news for Democrats is that the fires of protest could burn so brightly that they alienate moderate voters and threaten any Democrats who decline to throw gasoline on the fires. The anger of the...

Two armed robbers apparently targeted the senior citizen owner of J&S Bar-B-Que Saturday night, thinking that the man would be an easy target as he walked to his car after closing. They figured wrong. The 70-year-owner of a Houston barbecue joint shot and killed a man who tried to rob him over the weekend. Police said the man had just closed up J&S Bar-B-Que in northeast Houston on Saturday night and was walking to his car, KTRK-TV reports. The man, whom police did not identify, was carrying a gun because he’d been robbed before, he told police. So when two...

Please pray for a high school kid named Nick. He is on my son's football team. He collapsed with a seizure and brain aneurysm last night and is still in a coma. Please pray. I know the Lord hears you folks. Thank you!

That's all I'm seeing online on social media. The liberals think that Tom Brady won because he's "white", etc, etc. What the hell is going on in this country?

I told you recently that the Office of Refugee Resettlement had published its 2015 Annual Report to Congress Below are some charts from the report (beginning on page 16) that are very instructive. By the way, when the Leftist Open Borders gang publishes economic studies that claim that refugees bring economic boom times to struggling communities, they surely don’t factor in the cost of welfare use by refugees (or the education costs, or the criminal justice system costs). LOL!, maybe they figure federal welfare dollars (grown on trees in Washington) flowing to certain communities are income to the community. Let’s...

As a fellow prayer warrior reminded me today, Satan is frantic and upset that he's lost his grip on the country. Hence this barrage of anti-Trump insanity, cooked up by the increasingly irrelevant media. Remember, the real fear you are witnessing is not about Trump. It is about truth, and ultimately about God. People are afraid to confront the reality of GOD. That is what all the hysteria, the marches, the hate, and faux social justice crusades are are about. Leftists are not PRO-Islam, they are afraid of the triumph of Christianity. Leftists are not PRO-woman, they are merely afraid...

Why was this case allowed to be argued again before a different federal judge, after the first federal level ruling? 1. It was argued differently here, on a new point. 2. Shouldn’t the plaintiff have been referred to appeal the first decision back East?

I desperately want Donald Trump to be a good President. If he could unravel the harmful policies of the Obama administration, and take a wrecking ball to entrenched bureaucratic and political power in Washington D.C., he could go down as one of our nation's greatest leaders. Or he could become a laughing stock. An embarrassing political footnote. Something akin to Minnesota electing Jesse Ventura to be governor. Sometimes the moment can make the man. I've been waiting for Democrats to rise to the occasion of the Trump presidency by becoming the loyal opposition. Trump would be a better sort of...

Milo is a troll. This is not just my interpretation of him, he calls himself a troll. And, like all trolls, his goal is to make others angry with his words. Like all trolls, he “feeds” off of negative energy. Every time the left reacts to him negatively (or becomes triggered as Milo would say) he wins. The left is feeding the troll, and you should never feed the trolls. He wins especially when “the left” (speaking generally here) reacts with violence like it did during his scheduled appearance at UC Berkeley. Milo likes to paint liberals, specifically college students...

Who knew that Obamacare provides for a “Regular Corps” and a “Ready-Reserve Corps” of officers and individuals who are appointed by the president? Commissioned officers are subject to active duty at the call of the surgeon general. The new law provides $17.5 million in each of the first four years to recruit and train these reserves. During his campaign, Obama said: “We cannot continue to rely only on our military. … We’ve got to have a civilian security force just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to...

DIVORCE AGREEMENT — This is so incredibly well-put, and I can hardly believe it’s by a young person, a student!! Whatever he runs for, I’ll vote for him!* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, regressive, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process...

On Monday evening, Vice President Mike Pence decided to commemorate Black History Month (February) by praising President Abraham Lincoln, the man who submitted the 13th Amendment, ending slavery once and for all in the United States of America. Naturally, this was too much for social justice warriors on Twitter, who mocked Pence for praising a white man for Black History Month. "As #BlackHistoryMonth begins, we remember when Pres. Lincoln submitted the 13th Amendment, ending slavery, to the states #NationalFreedomDay," Pence posted on Twitter. Pence wasn't just saying this. February 1 is National Freedom Day, a day commemorating President Lincoln's submission...

"High among the reasons that many supported Trump was his understanding that George W. Bush blundered horribly in launching an unprovoked and unnecessary war on Iraq. Along with the 15-year war in Afghanistan and our wars in Libya, Syria and Yemen, our 21st-century U.S. Mideast wars have cost us trillions of dollars and thousands of dead. And they have produced a harvest of hatred of America that was exploited by al-Qaida and ISIS to recruit jihadists to murder and massacre Westerners. Osama’s bin Laden’s greatest achievement was not to bring down the twin towers and kill 3,000 Americans, but to...

One Daily Lobo reporter's experience on World Hijab Day I have walked home from campus 92 times since enrolling at UNM. Only once was I so hyper-aware of my appearance that I held tight to the pepper spray on my keychain. Oh, I forgot to mention: It was also the first time I tried on a hijab. In honor of World Hijab Day, a group of Muslim women gathered outside the UNM Bookstore late Wednesday afternoon. The event was organized by Power Through Peace and the UNM Muslim Student Association, with help from local activist Shakir Farid Abdullah. Abdullah also...

Memo from Justin Trudeau to all staff: “If Trump calls, I’M NOT IN!” And who could blame our plucky PM? In a dizzying few hours this week, Donald Trump has rewritten the book on American diplomacy. Rewritten? Hell, he’s ripped it up, burned it, spit on it and flung it in the swamp. There is more Marquis de Sade than Marquess of Queensberry about the Donald’s statesmanship. First, he reportedly hangs up on Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull in a spat over refugees. Turnbull insists America take 1,250 folks from Syria and Iraq who are now in Australia’s off-shore island...

The world of politics has been thrown into total and utter disarray over the past couple of weeks. Donald Trump has hit the ground running as US president and has introduced a number of executive orders that have created global apoplexy. Commentators here and elsewhere are going berserk, but they and the rest of us are currently powerless in the face of a president who is intent on flexing his muscles. After all, at the end of the day, as leader of the country, he should be entitled to stop most anybody he wants to from entering the US. In...

Donegal TD Joe McHugh has vowed to fight for Irish citizens living illegally in the United States - and has called for them to be given the right to live and work there. The Minister was speaking in the Seanad today (Thursday) on an issue raised by Senator Billy Lawless on the Long Wave RTE service to Britain. Minister McHugh says the Government supports the retention of the radio service which delivers programmes to Irish people living in Britain. The Donegal politician also made a number of comments on the Irish in America, saying afterwards that the issue was ‘personal’...

During the recent election, then-candidate Trump promised his conservative supporters that he would “appoint judges very much in the mold Justice Scalia.” Given the extended vacancy on the Supreme Court that began with Scalia’s death on February 13, 2016, and the perception that the next appointment to the Court could have a significant effect on the future of U.S. law, it is not surprising that Republicans wanted assurances that their nominee would nominate someone whose jurisprudence would match that of Scalia. And yet, in previewing President Trump’s potential nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court, the media has been largely focused...

As the Washington State House Judiciary Committee gathers in Olympia to hear public testimony on two gun control bills Thursday afternoon, proponents of the measure requiring licensing and extensive background checks to own so-called “assault weapons” have a major problem. Uniform rime data from the FBI dating back to 2013 does not support contentions that semi-automatic rifles or shotguns pose a serious threat to public safety. Indeed, crime reports spanning three years – 2013, 2014 and 2015, the most recent year for which data is available – suggest quite the opposite. Rifles and shotguns are used in a fraction...
