When anti-Trump protesters (who claim to be supporters of 1st Amendment rights) show up at Trump rallies to disrupt, shutdown, and verbally and physically assault Trump and his supporters, they not only make themselves look bad; but they also make Trump look good. Some smart Democrats understand this: Democrats and Hispanic activists said Friday that they are increasingly alarmed by a spate of violence at Donald Trump rallies instigated by anti-Trump protesters, fearing that the incidents — widely viewed on television and social media — will only help the GOP candidate and undermine their attempts to defeat him. The latest...

A list of rappers and stars, including Russell Simmons, LL Cool J, Lil Wayne, Ludacris, Kim Kardashian, and many more, have written an open letter to President Obama to ask that he ease the nation's drug policy. They also ask that prison policy be changed, too. "During your presidency you have made important steps and you now have the opportunity to leave a legacy by transforming our criminal justice system to an intervention and rehabilitation based model. Many of those impacted by the prison industrial complex are among your most loyal constituents," they write. "Your struggles as the child of...

Look out, America! You stand on the brink of a “national cleansing” that could become as violent as Mao’s Cultural Revolution, and only Deepak Chopra can save you. When you’re the Huffington Post, it’s hard to “sink to a new low,” but they managed it last week by publishing a fevered screed from Deepak Chopra, an absurd figure who keeps turning up as a serious analyst in the mainstream press. These days, his Really Deep Thoughts are concerned with the looming menace of Sarah Palin. According to Chopra, if she decides to run for President, her election would plunge America...

It will be a devastating loss if Sarah Palin peddles enough books and visits enough gun shows that she has no incentive to run for President. There would be many chances for unique moments in the White House if she won. How about Sarah on horseback, riding through the Potomac basin like Paul Revere, ringing bells like he did and shouting, “The Democrats are coming!” That would give folks ample warning to quickly cling to their guns and religion before the left wing snatches them away. I know that she suffered ridicule for her version of Paul Revere’s ride, but...

Crises exist to test who the real leaders are. During the present crisis, as people lose confidence and anxiety grows, two leaders stand out, in the media at least: President Obama and his most vocal antagonist on the right, Sarah Palin. This might seem like a radically unequal contest. A sitting President versus a woman who served for half a term governing a state with a population smaller than any major American city? But leadership has always been considered mysterious, and one never knows. To clear up the mystery, I began teaching CEOs and other top corporate officers in a...

Joy Tiz ©2010 It’s fomenting chaos, fear and rage among the American people; thus, it’s a safe bet that if we dig a little, we’ll unearth yet another Soros tentacle. Obama’s boss, George Soros, stands to benefit from the government’s use of body scanners at airports. The machines are manufactured by the whimsically named Rapiscan which received a taxpayer funded contract for $173 million after the Panty Bomber near catastrophe. A former aide to Democrat David Price of North Carolina lobbied on behalf of Rapiscan. Former Homeland Security secretary, Michael Chertoff is also hustling for Rapiscan. And the de facto...

Rapiscan is one of the two companies that makes the nudie-scanners at airports for the TSA. Rapiscan CEO Deepak Chopra (who has the same name as the more famous Deepak Chopra, M.D.) recently was tapped by Obama to accompany the administration on Obama’s trip to India. Also, Chopra is an Obama donor. Read more at the Washington Examiner: http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/2010/11/nudie-scan-ceo-obama-ally#ixzz15xjJ7JKX

(April 5) -- The U.S. Geological Survey is blaming day-to-day seismological changes for Sunday's 7.2 earthquake along the U.S.-Mexico border. But Deepak Chopra, the famed alternative-medicine practitioner and transcendental meditation guru, is pretty sure he knows what really happened. "Had a powerful meditation just now -- caused an earthquake in Southern California," Chopra wrote to his nearly 179,000 Twitter followers shortly after the quake. And then, to clarify: "Was meditating on Shiva mantra & earth began to shake," he tweeted. "Sorry about that."

So yesterday on the Huffington Post, Deepak Chopra published yet another anti-American screed - this time lamenting the fact that we’re the last remaining superpower. He says the world would be a better place if the US just packed it in as a leader, and to quote Lennon, “give peace a chance!” In it he writes, “America leads the world in arms dealing, starting wars, and developing new methods of mechanized death,” conveniently leaving out all the incidental stuff that comes with being a heavily armed, supercool, superpower. Meaning, saving millions of lives by ending world wars, getting rid of...

Satan is losing the battle for people's minds. This is a clear trend, and it's been mounting for a long time. The basic reason is that evil has gotten a lot of competition. Are schizophrenics possessed by the Devil? Raise your hand if you say yes. A century ago, countless more people would have raised their hands than today, when we use "sick" in place of "evil" for many things, including psychosis. The more replacements we find for evil, the weaker Satan grows. After all, the Devil is the embodiment of absolute evil, the kind that admits no other explanation....

When Michael Steele, the hapless chairman of the Republican Party, lost his bearings and called Rush Limbaugh's style ugly and incendiary, everyone knew it was the truth. But it was a perfect example of an inconvenient truth. The right wing has long used ugly, incendiary speech the way baseball players use steroids: to artificially pump themselves up. Limbaugh has taken to saying that he wants Obama's policies to fail because they spell the end of an America based on personal freedom. This isn't just a grotesque exaggeration; it disguises the very thing the right wing has been doing when it...

EXCERPT: The bad news is that newspapers are dying and comic strips are fading into history. The good news is that the Huffington Post is guaranteed to make you laugh every day. For example, here’s how New Age guru Deepak Chopra opened his article about Rush Limbaugh yesterday. “When Michael Steele, the hapless chairman of the Republican Party, lost his bearings and called Rush Limbaugh’s style ugly and incendiary, everyone knew it was the truth,” the subcontinental sahib said. “But it was a perfect example of an inconvenient truth. The right wing has long used ugly, incendiary speech the way...

This is a “guru” who wrote the book “Golf for Enlightenment” - pathetic. I didn’t know that gurus and enlightened ones such as the Buddha were interested in playing games like golf. In addition to an essay he has written “Does God Have Orgasms?”, his message on golf as a Bhagavad Gita is “I nourish my relationship with the ball by saying, `You're part of me ... When you soar, I will soar with you."' He lives the high life, he lives a rich lifestyle certainly beyond my means, and certainly beyond the life of the average Hindu in India...

If the Mumbai terror assault seemed exceptional, and shocking in its targets, it was clear from the Thanksgiving Day reports that we weren't going to be deprived of the familiar, either. Namely, ruminations, hints, charges of American culpability that regularly accompany catastrophes of this kind. Soon enough, there was Deepak Chopra, healer, New Age philosopher and digestion guru, advocate of aromatherapy and regular enemas, holding forth on CNN on the meaning of the attacks. How the ebullient Dr. Chopra had come to be chosen as an authority on terror remains something of a mystery, though the answer may have something...

Deepok Chopra believes "Washington" was responsible for the attacks in Mumbai. HuffPo and CNN reported: Chopra: What we have seen in Mumbai has been brewing for a long time, and the war on terrorism and the attack on Iraq compounded the situation. What we call "collateral damage" and going after the wrong people actually turns moderates into extremists, and that inflammation then gets organized and appears as this disaster in Bombay. Now the worst thing that could happen is there's a backlash on the Muslims from the fundamental Hindus in India, which then will perpetuate the problem. Inflammation will create...

On Saturday's Religion page in The Washington Post, they highlighted the latest hot item from their On Faith website, which really should be called On Doubt, since it so heavily promotes atheism and liberalism. This time, it was New Age guru Deepak Chopra, denouncing the allegedly ridiculous idea that God should play a role in the voting booth: There never will be, and never should be, a religious reason to pick one candidate over another. God hasn't personally voted in an American election, but he keeps voting by proxy. In an ideal world that would never happen. Supernatural beings aren't...

Not many people of moderate persuasion have much sway in the church any more. I was reminded why recently when the Episcopal Church did two important things: It elected a woman bishop to head the denomination, and it backtracked on appointing gay bishops. The first move seems Christian. Women deserve to hold church office as much as political office (one diocese, however, was so incensed that it voted to leave the church, and worldwide there are still Anglican movements that do not permit women to be bishops or ordained priests). The second move was an act of cowardice because it...

Donald Trump will sail into The Guinness Book of World Records with a rate of $16,000 per minute for lectures at The Learning Annex. It's nice work if you can get it, and Donald Trump can get just about anything he wants these days. The billionaire business magnate has reached an agreement with the Learning Annex to present three classes in 2005 titled How to Succeed in Real Estate. Trump's fee will be a cool one million dollars for each one-hour class. That's over $16,000 a minute! He's scheduled to teach in three cities -- Los Angeles on May 1,...
