The fact that four justices who complained that the court needed to hear Second Amendment cases passed on 10 chances to do so tells us much about the courtÂ’s 'swing vote.' The U.S. Supreme CourtÂ’s decision to pass on nearly a dozen gun-rights-related cases is breathtaking, not in the denial of hearing any, but in the seeming admission that the conservative associate justices think Chief Justice John Roberts canÂ’t be trusted to protect the Bill of Rights.The nationÂ’s top court denied writ of certiorari to 10 cases. The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearm industry trade association, submitted amicus curiae...

On this day (not date) in 2015, Donald Trump announced his candidacy. I admit to not watching it live. As far as I knew he was a celebrity real estate mogul and that was that. I hadn’t watched any of his TV shows. While my family and I were initially Cruzers, we slowly warmed up to the incredibly successful Brooklyn guy who shared our common goals for America. After eight years of the muslim, Donald Trump was the right man at the right time, in the nick of time. In fact, we didn’t view the speech until sometime in 2017....

VIDEO Now that there will be a Trump rally in Tulsa with over 800,000 signed up to attend, the media has discovered that coronavirus is rising again. Of course, during the recent wave of protests with little to no social distancing that concern was pretty much absent. Oddly enough, the graph of the actual deaths from the virus as you can see paints a starkly contrasting picture to what is now being portrayed.

The country music sounds blasts from the past good to be here again I'm looking at a radio programming book from 1968 and here in York, PA WNOW at 1250 AM and 105.7 FM was the place for country music back then. I would start listening in during the fall of 1970 to begin my country music journey..... Today out of Dallas we get Glenn Beck with predictable negative comments about Russia. Russia and Texas have something in common. They produce oil and natural gas. Energy. Last December President Trump signed legislation to sanction companies helping to build the Nord...

<p>Howard Stern claimed that President Trump actually “despises” his biggest supporters and the radio talk show host said he “hates” the people who voted for the commander-in-chief.</p> <p>Hi did label a lot of people as racist for some strange reasons.</p>

An update on People's Rights in the midst of coronavirus controls in the state of Washington.... She's resigned as the state's health director but will remain on as a health advisor to Ohio's Republican governor..... Tonight word from President Trump via Twitter that a campaign rally planned in Tulsa has been rescheduled from next Friday to Saturday....... Louisville City Council votng unanamously to ban no-knock search warrants....... French police in a protest convoy honking their horns on the Champs-Elysees in Paris today.... "Unless we get moral leadership quickly our cities won't be worth living in" Those comments from British Brexit...

At the end of the day, Judge Henderson may decide, based on the long and sordid history of this case, that it isn’t just Judge Sullivan’s amicus who is intemperate. Over the course of nearly two hours, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals quizzed attorneys for Michael Flynn, the Department of Justice, and Judge Emmet Sullivan. The questions posed during oral argument suggest the court is hesitant to order Sullivan to dismiss the criminal case against Flynn — at least at this time. How the court will rule, however, likely rests in the hands of Judge...

CNN’s Chris Cuomo doesn’t appear to have done his due diligence. He committed a very bad gaffe last night by using pre-Trump era economic data to bash President Donald Trump’s economy.

The lockdowns are ending, it is time for the 2020 general election to truly begin.There’s a presidential election going on, remember? Like so much of American life the campaign has been on hold for these past few months. President Trump spent most of the time locked in the White House, Joe Biden bunkered in the basement and the entire race just kind ground to a standstill. But now that the protestors have broken the lockdown there is no reason we should not return to the bells, whistles, and traditions of a presidential race. The Trump campaign announced this week that...

As police departments across the country come under attack, the GOP must be strong in their defense.If you are watching the news or thumbing through Twitter you probably have the sense that the police are not very popular at the moment. In fact, you would probably be wrong. Over the years polls have shown that local police forces are overwhelmingly popular. Nationally the police rank third in a list of most trusted institutions behind only the military and small business. Gallup tracking polls show wide support for police, as did a 2019 Civis poll. It may well be true that...

Disgraced former FBI lawyer and newly-minted MSNBC Legal Analyst Lisa Page seems to have found a way to make herself appear more biased.

Barron Trump is a wonderful person. At only thirteen years old he has dignity and grace, and I read that he has a very high IQ. Barron is outstanding, and President Trump wants his son educated. While every president’s child over the past 35 years has attended Sidwell Friends, the White House has confirmed Barron is attending St. Andrew’s in Potomac, Maryland. He is the first presidential child to do so. In a statement, Melania praised the school for “its diverse community and commitment to academic excellence.” He needs to be smart because leftists are constantly attacking him! The same...

A positive sign for the US economy today with the unemployment rate dropping to 13.3 percent last month, an improvement from April's 14.7... The Mayor of Washngton DC, Democrat Muriel Bowser, renaming the plaza near the White House "Black Lives Matter Plaza" with the name "Black Lives Matter" spelled out in large yellow letters on the street there. Her move not looked upon positively by the "Black Lives Matter" organization which said her move was: "a performative distraction from real policy changes" and "a way to appease white liberals while ignoring our demands"...... Questions being asked about the federal law...

Hearing what Gen “Mad Dog” Mattis had to say today, I am reminded of something I learned about Trump’s pick for Sec Def during the transition, as the President-elect was about to take the oath of office. Several sources inside the transition team confirmed... They were shocked by who Mattis wanted as his number 2 - he was pushing for Michelle Flournoy, the same person HRC had reportedly picked to lead DOD in her Administration, acc to sources/articles at the time, such as one Politico published in Nov 2016. They put it this way: “THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION - HILLARY CLINTON’S...

VIDEO There was quite a bit of shock today when it was announced that the unemployment rate DECLINED in May despite most economists predicting it would rise to 20%. Here are a few shocked reactions to the May jobs report. My favorite reaction is from the angry guy who is whining that the unemployment really rose but that the stats were faked by the Labor Department.

President Donald Trump’s economy proved it’s not going down without a fight. An excellent new jobs report has Keynesian New York Times economist Paul Krugman babbling about a Trump conspiracy on Twitter to make sense of it.

VIDEO The media has gone to such a ridiculous extreme in condemning President Donald Trump that their Orange Man Bad narrative has become laughable. That is what happens when you call him a Kim Jong-Un type of demagogue and describe his administration as like the Vichy regime. It is also obvious from the comments that the media is already laying the groundwork for NOT accepting the election results in November just as they refused to accept the 2016 election result by spinning a Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory that was subsequently revealed by the Mueller Report to have been wrong.

The media has had a field day attacking President Trump for his walk across Lafayette Square to pay his respects to St. John’s Episcopal Church that was set afire by rioters. Certainly, as so many commentators noted, the rioters setting a fire at St. John’s crossed a line into territory that no sensible person could defend. Throughout its history, St. John’s has been considered a national church because sitting presidents since the 19th century have walked across that park to attend church at St. Johns. Numerous ceremonial events have taken place in that sanctuary where a pew was reserved for...

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) asserted Thursday that former Secretary of Defense James Mattis calling President Donald Trump a threat to the U.S. Constitution was “true, honest, necessary, and overdue.” Murkowski, one of the Senate’s most left-leaning Republicans, made the comment while speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill. Asked whether she supports President Trump, the lawmaker replied,” “I am struggling with it [ and] I have struggled with it for a long time.” On Wednesday, Mattis attacked President Trump in a statement to The Atlantic by accusing the president of violating the Constitution over the clearing of Lafayette Park on Monday...

VIDEO TDS is apparently such a powerful force that it seems to be able to cause a highly respected medical journal, The Lancet, to drop its usual professionalism and publish a horribly flawed study on hydroxychloroquine. See, President Donald Trump recommended the use of HCQ if prescribed by a doctor and that apparently was enough for some medical professionals to cast caution to the wind and produce a fraudulent study that seemed designed to prove that HCQ is not only supposedly ineffective but dangerous as well. Fortunately this fraud has now been exposed and clinical trials on HCQ have...
