Under the old rules Democrats got to take dirty money and Republicans who brought it up were laughed at. That was then this is now. Here are just a few of Hillary Clinton’s donors that show how arrogant she is and how dirty they are. Clinton took $36,800 from Weitz &Luxenberg the corporate partner to convicted felon and former New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. Silver is on his way to a 120 year federal prison sentence for taking kickbacks from Weitz & Luxenberg’s asbestos scam. The money was obviously funneled to Clinton through Weitz & Luxenberg. This is...

Juniper Networks announced late Friday it was removing the suspicious Dual_EC_DRBG random number generator from its ScreenOS operating system. And while that’s heralded as a positive move considering Dual_EC’s dubious origins, there remain important and unanswered questions about Juniper’s decision to include what is considered to be a backdoored random number generator in its NetScreen VPNs, and why a number of strange coding and engineering decisions were made that could have facilitated the decryption of secure traffic.

:: Cruz's Dilemma- By: Larry Walker, II -The concept of natural born Citizenship is clear and concise, to anyone with a rational mind. Although some may wish to contort its meaning to fit the presidential candidate of their choice, natural law is incapable of such bias. It takes two parents to produce a child, one male and one female, but you would never know it if your source of information is the lamestream media. By its logic, only one parent is sufficient.Epigrammatically speaking, if both of your parents were U.S. Citizens at the time of your birth, you are without...

Opinions on Hillary Clinton's chances in 2016 come in two forms with not much in between: "It ain't happening" and "Hillary's got it locked in." We may soon find out which one of those prognostications is right. Washington insiders are saying that the evidence in the FBI's investigation into Clinton's "unique email arrangement" has reached "critical mass." The American Spectator's R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. joins former prosecutor Joe DiGenova in predicting that a decision to indict is coming soon....

Any political issue is exactly as serious as the media decides to treat it. There have been a lot of changes in the influence of the media over the last 30 years, but that is still more or less the truth - even the stories that were pushed by blogs and alternative media only became stories when the media were effectively shamed into covering them. Questions about Obama's eligibility for President were not a serious news story because the media made the a priori decision to make fun of anyone who raised them. As we noted this morning, look at...

“The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.” – St. Augustine Moral clarity is the ability to see things as they really are. This type of clarity is only possible when one believes what is true. America lost her way when she chose the lies of moral relativism over the moral clarity of truth. For to dispose of truth in favor of moral relativism creates moving targets of the standards by which society must agree to live. If we cannot call something “evil,” how can we refer to anything...

Dozens of "White Student Union" pages have appeared on Facebook, claiming to represent white students at US universities. While many turned out to be hoaxes, some are run by real students hoping to tackle "anti-white belief" on campuses. The first page created, "Illini White Student Union", was launched in response to a black student solidarity rally on 18 November, according to the University of Illinois' student paper. The page described itself as "a new page for white students of University of Illinois" committed to working "against the terrorism (students) have been facing from Black Lives Matters activists on campus". It...

The issue of whether Ted Cruz is constitutionally eligible to be president could not be more bogus. He is. Case closed. I say this as someone who could scarcely be more concerned about the prospect of President Cruz. So concerned, in fact, that I have concluded, after much angsting, that President Trump would be preferable, given that nightmare choice. But notwithstanding Trump's typically ill-informed and situational insinuations (he didn't see any problem with Cruz having been born in Canada before Cruz posed a real threat), the constitutional requirement that the president be a natural-born citizen does not disqualify Cruz. Article...

Earlier this week, UTT published the first in a series of articles about sharia (Islamic law) entitled “Understanding the Threat” https://www.understandingthethreat.com/understanding-the-threat/ which amplified the fact that sharia is the focal point and driving force behind everything jihadis across the globe are doing. Today, we will breakdown what sharia actually is and its origins. All Islamic sources define Islam as a “complete way of life governed by sharia.” According to the most widely used text book in Islamic junior high schools in the United States (What Islam is All About), “The Shari’ah is the ideal path for us to follow.” There...

John Bircher alert. Title is misleading as it it's given in 1974 but supposedly he's quoting himself from 1958. I'll just assume he's more paraphrasing then quoting and adjusting the so-called predictions as the years go buy. The Communist stuff is kind of dated and rob this gem of some pertinence. I'm not a John Bircher, and I don't know why they fell out of favor other than being Alynsk'ed. Which Presidential Candidate sounds like the tail end of the echos from the past?

I sincerely hope these families are all suing this traitor (Merkel) personally.... Scanning through the German blogs brings more suppressed-to-this-point news from the first terrifying New Year's shared with their new Muslim neighbors, and lost in shadow of appalling lawlessness in Koln are a number of other stories- in fact every major city and town in Germany experienced sex-crimes at the hands of Middle Eastern and/or Muslim men on NYE. In the southern German town of Weil am Rein -which is basically a suburb of Basel, Switzerland- underage teen girls -a mere 14 and 15 years old- were gang-raped 'multiple...

Also demands Marine Corps make boot camp co-ed. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus recently sent a memo to Marine Commandant Gen. Robert Neller directing him to review the Marine Corp's position titles to ensure their gender neutrality. Mabus told Neller to drop the term "man" from position titles so that they become gender integrated by the deadline of April 1, according to the Marine Corps Times. "As we achieve full integration of the force ... this is an opportunity to update the position titles and descriptions themselves to demonstrate through this language that women are included in these MOSs,"...

Well, well, well ....

Here's a question worth asking right now: What would happen if 150 armed Black Lives Matter protesters occupied a federal building? This is exactly what an armed white militia did when they took over the headquarters at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters in Burns, Oregon. Known in some circles as #YallQaeda, who are waging #YeHawd, they reportedly took the action to protest the government control of land in the West and the punishment of two local ranchers who refused to sell their land. Specifically, Dwight and Steven Hammond, father and son, were convicted of arson on federal land. A...

The Obama Administration's Justice Department is now suing Volkswagen for "up to $90 billion for allegedly violating environmental law." Politically-favored General Motors was fined $900 million, or 1% of that amount, for covering up an ignition switch defect that led to the deaths of at least 124 people. At last count, the number of people who lost their lives as a result of emissions' tampering by VW stood at zero. Meanwhile, the GM board unanimoulsy elected CEO Mary Barra as its Chairman, demonstrating that it is still not independent of the White House political operation, even years after the...

So I can just imagine Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's inner voice giving him advice in his usual fact-free zone -- the same voice that told him he "watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down" -- though we now know there was no such scene. None. "I have a great idea," the same voice must have told him. "You mocked Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly for menstruation, Republican candidate Carly Fiorina for her face, Hillary Clinton for taking too long to go to the restroom, your poll...

Niccolo Machiavelli is what some have called the first modern analyst of political power.  Some have called him the founder of modern political science.  Others have compared him to the Devil, as he showed the moral underbelly of political power.  He is widely honored on the left as showing how to use power to stay in power.  Most of the people who know of Machiavelli know him from his most famous work "The Prince".  "The Prince" is essentially a short course on how to get and keep political power.  At the time it was written, it was a rather...

The left will do anything to abolish the private ownership of firearms. And the emphasis is on anything. After all, politicians cannot safely exercise absolute, uncontested authority over an armed public. And the majority of our nation’s ruling class–yes, Republicans included–yearn for such power; in part because it will bring an end to those annoying constitutional rights which prevent lawmakers implementing what they “know to be best,” but mostly because these self-infatuated mirror-gazers believe dictatorial authority to be their due. The question is, how can it be accomplished? How can more than 300 million firearms be separated from an estimated...

While Donald Trump proceeds in his buffoonery, another candidate lurks in the shadows patiently waiting to seize America by the throat. Political media coverage has been singing a song of late. You might have noticed it, it goes a little something like this: 'Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump TRUMP'. It's no secret that everybody is talking about Donald Trump. A heck of a lot of this coverage is negative, with plenty of extremely creative columns being put out there to warn readers of the dangers of a Trump presidency -- not to mention the problems his campaign has...
