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...

Ted Cruz may be “just following the rules the same as everybody else” but that is just the problem: Ted Cruz is following the rules the same as everybody else. There is a simple reason why people give politicians money: They want something in return. Whatever the particular need is, the money flows. Those who show up in Washington and make it clear that they won’t “play ball” are ignored when looking for donations. An implied deal is made with every check that changes hands. Cruz has a carefully cultivated image of being that rare person who is a member...

The ranks of our professions are filled with high achieving Jewish men and women. Doctors, lawyers, accountants and teachers have Jewish Americans among their ranks, in numbers far exceeding their percentage share of the population. Nevertheless, the one glaring blind spot America’s Jews have is their love for liberalism even though it consistently works against them. This brings them to the Democrat Party. Given their great successes, in everything they do, many Jews have lots of disposable income to give to Democrats. This gives them a great deal of can leverage over what the Democrat Party does and says. The...

The Democrat structure in New York State has been severely damaged by the conviction of Sheldon Silver; and this bodes well for Donald Trump. Barack Obama made a mistake and appointed Preet Bharara, an honest man, as U S Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. He was appointed by to protect Democrats; but it didn’t work out that way. He is systematically draining Albany’s cesspool of corruption and is sending former New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver to prison. Bharara has been a relentless bulldog chasing corruption among Democrats and Republicans. Because of careful redistricting, New York’s...

When does the gang at Fox News start saying Matt Bevin’s huge upset in Kentucky was due to “Carson-mania?” After all, don’t they all believe Ben Carson has grabbed up all the excitement on today’s political stage? How about some of the columnists who are shilling so hard for Carson? Where are their joyful shouts that “Bevin won because of Carson-mania?” Democrats can apparently recognize and acknowledge scary poll numbers better than the Republican establishment and the Donald Trump hating media. With their noses rubbed in the dirt they have had to acknowledge the truth. The latest Reuters poll of...

Ben Carson is hoping to awaken black voters to his campaign with a message of economic empowerment, saying the black community has been done a disservice by heeding political power overtures from Democrats. Speaking to a small group of black leaders and activists last week, the retired neurosurgeon, who is surging in polling in the Republican presidential race, said he believes black Americans bring more power through the size of their bank account than by putting their “fist in the air.” Later in the article: “The Democrat Party, of course, is the party of the KKK. Of Jim Crow laws....

Now the Democrats who booed God want to use the Pope’s words to refill their Voter Plantations with Syrian “refugees.” Last week brought news that Chicago’s government school system has experienced a sharp drop in enrollment numbers. This means trouble for the Democrat overseers who run the Windy City Voter Plantation. Like Democrats who run other Voter Plantations, to stay in power they need to fill their barracks with greedy voters who will perpetually vote Democrat. These cities are emptying out and that means fewer fraudulent and even occasionally honest Democrat voters. The solution the Voter Plantation overseers in Chicago...

The partnership between NBC News and TargetSmart is intended to "enhance election coverage and study the voting process in America in depth," according to a Tuesday press release from NBC. NBC News is partnering with TargetSmart, a political data firm founded by Democrats that was also hired by the Democratic National Committee to provide voter information for the 2016 election. The partnership between NBC News and TargetSmart is intended to "enhance election coverage and study the voting process in America in depth," according to a Tuesday press release from NBC. Data provided by TargetSmart, which was founded in 2006 by...

One of the important lessons to take away from China’s stock market crash is a lesson nobody on Earth should need repeated: communists lie. Collectivists of every stripe devoutly believe that lying to the people in order to maintain power and further their righteous agenda is not only acceptable, but required. Knowledge is dangerous. Who knows what the Little People might do, if they have too much of it? Better to give them the illusion of freedom, and manipulate their choices by controlling the flow of information.The Washington Post ran a heartbreaking story over the weekend about how China’s stock market crash wiped out small investors...

It isn’t often that Coach is Right publishes an entire piece not written by one of our own staff. But author Wayne Allyn Root has done such a masterful job exposing the fear Donald Trump has elicited from members of the Washington D.C. “Uniparty” and the sheer panic which drives their every response that it would be an injustice to excerpt only the occasional remark. Americans of every political stripe will recognize the truth of Root’s presentation. Some may not like it or admit it, but there is no getting around it—Donald Trump has turned the political world on its...

We are what we are and very few of us can totally change. We can change our voting registration but we are still essentially of the same political stripe. The exceptions prove the rule. Just as we cannot paint a tiger golden brown and create a lion we can never fully leave our formative ideas behind. Charles Krauthammer’s criticisms of Donald Trump’s immigration reform plan serves to support this truth. Krauthammer was born in America but raised in French speaking Montreal one of the largest liberal enclaves in North America. He apparently became enamored with all of the foolishness of...

America's two major political parties have a difficult task: amassing a 51 percent coalition in a nation that has always been -- not just now, but from the beginning -- regionally, religiously, racially and ethnically diverse. George W. Bush's Republicans in 2006 and 2008 were not able to hold together the 51 percent coalition that re-elected him in 2004. Barack Obama's Democrats in 2014 were not able to hold together the 51 percent coalition that re-elected him in 2012. And, while the media and the voters are transfixed by the antics of Donald Trump, and speculating on possible damage to...

Gee, how time flies when you’re having fun. Election time again! But isn’t it always? You who follow these columns may recall that a couple of weeks ago I fearlessly predicted that Hillary would win the 2016 presidential election. Do I think she is the best qualified candidate? Of course not. But her ace in the hole — voter fraud! Oh, I’m not talking about handing out fruit jars of moonshine, as was the custom here in Tennessee and in my native state of Virginia. The “revenooers” pretty well put them out of business and the hooch runners had to...

A few weeks ago when billionaire Donald Trump made his remarks about the number of violent Mexican criminals sneaking into our country illegally it made the biggest splash of the young campaign season. The reaction was maddeningly predictable from the Washington Uniparty and the media. Both lined up to get their breast beating comments heard on the nightly news shows. The snide remarks came fast and furious – to borrow a phrase. Some were even personal with nothing to do with policy. Next came the oh-so learned comments from political “experts”- like the ones the Republicans hire to help them...

Well, here we are. A year and a half away from the presidential election and we are sick of it already. So I will just go ahead and tell you the outcome and spare you all the upcoming misery. First of all it is unbelievable that with a population of over 330 million, we can’t find one or two “natural born” citizens to adequately represent us. But if recent history is an indication of things to come, apparently we can’t. Republicans: Pretty simple. They are fielding a whole gaggle of has-beens, never-wases, and wannabes. I read somewhere that every member...

Circulating throughout Conservative sites this week is information about Hillary being fired by her Watergate supervisor, US HOUSE Judiciary Watergate committee counsel Jerry Zeifman. A close analysis of this bold assertion puts the whole flap into real perspective. When asked in an interview why he terminated Hillary’s employment, Zeifman responded, “Because she was a liar. She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer; she conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the HOUSE, the rules of the committee and the rules on confidentiality.” A Rush Limbaugh transcript stays very close to this syntax. In an article written after a 2008 campaign...

Hilary Clinton’s quest for the White House will end in her indictment. There is no other way to get this done as quickly and efficiently and those with personal interests in her candidacy will be the ones who bring her down. I first predicted this in early April and nothing has happened to either changed my mind or lessen the chances of it taking place. This stillborn quixotic foolishness ends with Hillary getting indicted and pleading to a single count of failing to sign papers as required when she left the State Department. Laugh if you wish, but I see...

Jeb Bush is everywhere. Jeb Bush is in New Hampshire. Jeb Bush is in South Carolina. Jeb Bush has lost weight. Jeb Bush speaks Spanish. Jeb Bush has raised $millions for his war chest. Jeb Bush leads in the Real Clear Politics poll. Jeb makes the news where he doesn’t even plan to show up, like Iowa’s Straw Poll. No doubt that he is the Democrat-media favorite. Why? Because a “moderate” Republican candidate is not electable — and they know it! Can you say Bob Dole, or John McCain, or Mitt Romney? The last thing in the world the Hillary...

Raising the wages of low to unskilled workers to $15.00 an hour will only help the Democrats and the extortionist unions who “represent” these workers. If low level salaries are doubled to $15.00 an hour, causing half of a shop’s workforce to be fired, the unions are way ahead. They will just double the dues for the remaining workers and not lose a cent in income. Better still, when employers fire half their workers just to survive, there will be half the number of members to bother union thugs with demands for services. The unions will still be able to...
