Most Americans tend to agree that Abraham Lincoln was one of this country’s better presidents, having saved the nation from imploding on itself with the Civil War. Former IRS chief Lois Lerner, however, does not apparently have the same thoughts about keeping the South in the union. “Look my view is that Lincoln was our worst president not our best,” Lerner wrote in 2014. “He should (have) let the south go. We really do seem to have 2 totally different mindsets.” The Senate Finance Committee released a report yesterday that examined 1.5 million pages of IRS emails. A significant focus...

The President of the United States winced as he watched the huge, retreating backside of the First Lady exiting the Oval Office like a heaving cargo galleon under full sail. The President spoke to his front office, "Is she gone?" "Yes, Mr. President." President Bara O'Hara finally sat back and relaxed in his chair, ignoring the pile of food and accouterments left before him by his wife. Free of her food surveillance, he pulled open the lower right drawer of his massive desk, a gift from Queen Victoria to President Hayes in 1880, where he'd hidden the Bacon & Cheese...

Amid a nationwide struggle against racism, a generation grows.1. The Root of a Movement On April 20, Judge Dennis Porter dismissed charges against Chicago police officer Dante Servin in the killing of 22 year-old Rekia Boyd on the basis of technical differences between involuntary manslaughter and first degree murder. Since then, the Chicago chapter of Black Youth Project 100 has organized nationally and locally to ensure that Servin is fired without a pension from the Chicago Police Department. We have staged several direct actions and testified in front of the CPD Police Review Board every month to demand ServinÂ’s termination....

So might as well put it out there, been thinking about it since the recent videos came out exposing PP's sale of human body parts. PP is claiming that 3% of their operation is for abortions, they do not disclose whether that 3% is services or financial, and even they admit to doctoring the numbers to get that figure. I refuse to belive that abortions make up only 3% of their services considering how many innocent lives they have taken since Roe vs. Wade, so I am on the lines that they mean that abortions represent 3% of their finance...

Last night’s Republican debate was a great success. It was the kind of event those who want to try anything to revive our dead nation have been waiting to see. This was a great night for many reasons but there are a few that need to be celebrated. Donald Trump clearly pulled the entire field over to the right. We have probably not seen Republican candidates charging to the right like this for a long time – if ever. The current Drudge poll – which Fox and its further left friends will ignore- shows Trump pulling an incredible 45% plus...

Struck me as desperate, maybe Karl Rove is spooked- and thinks it's their last chance to slow him down----------------------------------------------------------- I personally don't think Trump has serious, detailed plans for tackling the nation's problems, but as an experienced executive he would likely get the right people in there to put it all together... And he does know how to fix things. I always liked how Trump said some things I wanted to hear -yet never did elsewhere- starting in 2012 ('Take the oil!'). But outside of shaky 'conservative' credentials, I also don't think he's the kind of guy that should be...

August is a month for anniversaries of note. Today, for example, is the anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Later this month we will mark the anniversary of the notorious events at Ruby Ridge. It’s also the month when the King died. (Elvis, not George) The death of Elvis aside, it’s amazing how quickly time can distort some of these landmark moments and how distorted they can become through the lens of time. I see all manner of cautions from liberals today about how Hiroshima should have taught us humility and served as a warning about...

Media dereliction of duty to the citizenry I recently watched the movie “Kill the Messenger” which was released in the fall of 2014. It’s the story of journalist Gary Webb who in 1996 began looking into links between Nicaragua’s drug-running Contra rebels and the CIA. He published his findings under the title “Dark Alliance” in the San Jose Mercury News in which he submitted that a US-backed rebel army in Latin America was supplying the drugs that made their way into some of Los Angeles’ poorest neighbourhoods. More importantly, he tied the CIA to the drugs. “For the better part...

Donald Trump channels the public’s contempt by serving as a walking, talking insult machine. Citing CNN/ORC and Rasmussen polls measuring the attitudes of Americans in a rapidly declining nation, the New York Times’ establishment GOP opinionator, David Brooks, says, “Confidence in public institutions like schools, banks and churches is near historic lows… only 29 percent of Americans think the nation is on the right track.” “When [GOP presidential candidate Donald] Trump is striking populist chords,” Brooks continued, “he appeals to members of the alienated middle class.” After sifting through the polling data, Brooks contends that a feeling of “invisibility” is...

I have been posting on facebook several articles regarding the horrible actions of Planned Parenthood as revealed by the recent videos. I have just received a swarm of links by my feminist sister that claim the videos are fake. The good news is her conscience must be bothered by the idea of the videos being genuine. That means her soul has not yet been totally devastated her support of so called abortion rights. I am glad she is mad at my posts....I still have a sister in there somewhere. I have a general idea of how I am going to...

The deck of the great star ship Enterprise heaved and bucked crazily as it was released from the time storm and dropped out of warp into an alien system. Captain Kirk was hurled from his command chair by the sudden deceleration but managed to catch himself against a bulkhead covered with blinking emergency lights. He sustained a slight cut to the head which was bleeding onto his uniform shoulder. “Spock!” he called to the Vulcan who was strapped into his science officer’s seat, “where the hell are we?” The Vulcan answered calmly. “Unknown at this time, Captain. I am attempting...

'We will honour our ancestors whether Britain likes it or not' THOUSANDS OF people marched peacefully from Brixton to Parliament on Saturday (Aug 1) to mark Emancipation Day and reiterate calls for reparations. The procession, which united people of African heritage across all ages, religions and cultures, followed a hugely successful event last year that left those in attendance feeling empowered. The crowds, which included many Pan-Africans, Rastafarians, member of the Nation of Islam, Christians and Black Hebrew Israelites, set off from Windrush Square and made the three-mile journey to the House of Commons. Emancipation Day – a national holiday...

MS-13 gang bangers are actively recruiting among all of those illegal alien children that flooded our southern border from Central America last summer and horrific violence is growing in Nassau and Suffolk counties in Long Island, NY. “They were targeted by the Latino gangs already here said Det. Sgt. Mike Marino, head of Nassau County Police Department’s gang section.” How ironic that these unfortunate children have fled the violence in their home countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, only to be sucked into the gang culture here in America! MS-13 is short for Mara, the El Salvadorian slang term...

Sen. Ted Cruz and billionaire Donald Trump may be warring for the same White House post, but they’ve nevertheless cast aside politics to push a defund Planned Parenthood strategy, hoping their star-power status will press legislators to add a rider to a bill moving on Capitol Hill that would cut the organization’s finances. Trump gave his official rubber-stamp to the plan during Monday evening remarks, despite the fact Democrats vowed to oppose any bill containing such rider, Politico reported. Call it Obamacare redux. This is the same maneuver Cruz tried with Obamacare in 2013; now, the Texas senator is hoping...

US Tribal Warfare , Human Evolution, and the Welcome Death of Politics, and the Obama Way http://rightwingconservativenews.com/2015/08/04/us-tribal-warfare-human-evolution-and-the-welcomne-death-of-politics/ I used to think and say that, “Liberals belong here too. They are part of the gene pool. Obviously, we are genetically pe-programmed to argue both sides of all important questions and then reach a workable, reasonable synthesis.” I don’t think that anymore; or say it. I now think and say, that if Liberals existed back during the Ice Age they must have been put out on the ice flows at night, for being extremely dangerous to survival of the tribe and clans....

A chilling example of the double standard applied by the Obama Justice Department to hate speech was on display when Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan called on his followers to “rise up” and “kill those who kill us” if the federal government fails to “intercede in our affairs.” His speech was delivered in Miami before an enthusiastic crowd, many of whom stood up and applauded when he suggested “retaliation” against whites. This, from his Facebook page: Retaliation! If the federal government won’t intercede in our affairs, then we MUST rise up and kill those who kill us; stalk them...

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz has stated that he doesn’t believe in the science behind global warming. In a forum hosted by Freedom Partners on Sunday evening, a key cog in the political network of the Koch Brothers, the Texas senator stated that “the data and facts don’t support” that global warming is occurring. The moderator of the forum described Cruz’s stance as “full out denial”. The Texas senator did not disagree with that characterisation. Cruz has previously compared those who believe in global warming to “flat-Earthers.” Cruz also criticised the new regulations, set to be unveiled by the Obama...

A series of disturbing videos has brought this grisly practice to the forefront, even if it is nothing new. PhD chemist and theologian Stacy Trasancos dug into the scientific literature to discover some early references… Here’s one from 1972, entitled “Development of Mammalian Sulfur Metabolism: Absence of Cystathionase in Human Fetal Tissues,” published in Pediatric Research. According to the article’s introduction: “We have therefore examined the development of the transsulfuration pathway in 58 human fetuses, obtained at therapeutic abortion during approximately the 2nd-6th month of gestation and in liver from 5 full term and 3 prematurely born infants.” With this...

On Monday, two felony charges will be unsealed against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and the liberal media will feast on his humiliation and booking in another episode of Big Game Hunting: Lawfare Edition. After the indictments are unsealed, Paxton can surrender to be photographed, fingerprinted and booked at any of the state's 254 county jails. Kent Schaffer, one of the special prosecutors, has previously told News 8 they planned to present a third-degree charge of failing to register with the state securities board, as the law requires. They also said they planned to present a first-degree felony charge against Paxton, accusing him of securities...

If there is any story on this blog that you’re going to grow tired of reading, it’s the one about the former NBA or NFL athlete who is now broke and living with his mama. These stories are everywhere, and it has people wondering if the Harvard-educate d financial managers being employed by professional sports leagues are actually helping these guys protect their wealth or if the players are being chewed up and spit out by people who could care less about them. But we’re all responsible for our outcomes, and when we read stories like this one, we have...
