Drew's work has been published by The New York Times, The Daily Beast and Vanity Fair Drew, a frequent MSNBC guest whose columns have appeared in The New York Times, The Daily Beast, Vanity Fair and Project Syndicate, took to Twitter amid the breaking news and poked fun at Amess' name. "A perfect last name for a pol who's stabbed at a town meeting. British lawmaker dies after being stabbed multiple times while meeting with constituents, police say David Amess," Drew wrote in the now-deleted tweet. Hours later, Drew took down the offensive post, adding, "Apols for a lapse. Tweet...

Drew Brees addressed President Trump on Friday night after the president criticized him for backing down from his anthem stance. In a statement posted on Twitter, Brees told the president that the anthem protests were “not about the flag,” and that “we as a white community” need to listen and learn from the suffering of the “black communities.” On Wednesday, Brees had said that he would never agree with anyone who would “disrespect” the flag by kneeling during the national anthem. That stance brought forth a torrent of criticism that eventually persuaded Brees to apologize twice over the next 36...

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees continues to stand against players kneeling during the national anthem when the season starts, and on Wednesday he told Yahoo Finance that he would never agree with the gesture. “I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country. Let me just tell you what I see or what I feel when the national anthem is played and when I look at the flag of the United States,” Brees said. After receiving backlash about his comments, Brees reiterated his stance later to ESPN saying that he...

I was honored to attend the southern California premier of Trevor Loudon’s new movie, “The Enemies Within” at a special event hosted by the American Freedom Alliance on Oct. 16, 2016, in Van Nuys, California. This movie is the result of Loudon’s long-career of carefully collecting available information regarding the ties public officials in the U.S. have to the Communist Party, Communist front groups, jihadist hate groups and nefarious institutions who oppose the Constitution and our way of life. I think it always comes as a shock to people with little interest in politics and government (which, I suppose, is...

The controversy surrounding Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s health continues to swirl. KABC’s Dr. Drew Pinsky says the former Secretary of State may be receiving inadequate health care that is not optimal for her condition.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Dr. Drew Pinsky was on Anderson Cooper 222 last night. Anderson Cooper said to Drew Pinsky, "I don't know all the details of what exactly is covered. It's an incredibly confusing thing. I spent all day reading about it." This is about Obamacare. Drew Pinsky talked about the people he treats and deals with and what they think about it. PINSKY: There's a really another interesting layer to this that people aren't talking about. Today, I often spend a lot of my time finding resources for people who don't have insurance. So today I had three calls....

Dr. John Drew's Speech on Young Barack Obama

In between the establishment GOP elected elite and their fellow pundits, all in an uproar about Newt's rise in the polls, and the Ron Paul supporters pouring on the steam pushing their guy... let's have another type of fun, shall we? After all, these are the days when people like Palin and Cain are tried in the court of public opinion based on past confessions and accusations. It would be a pity to leave Obama out of our new age justice system. Seems that an old story is rebounding via Selwyn Duke over at the New American today. An...

The U.S. Treasury is depleting its cash at an accelerating pace, drawing down its cash balance by $81.6 billion in the just the first four days of March, leaving the federal government with only $108.9 billion on hand, according to the Daily Treasury Statement released Monday afternoon. At the beginning of February, the Treasury had $349.1 billion in cash on hand, but spent that down by $158.5 billion during the month, ending February with only $190.6 billion on hand. Were the government to continue to draw down its cash balance

My first meeting with young Barack Obama raised strong feelings and left me with a positive first impression.  At the time, I felt I'd persuaded a young man anticipating a Marxist-Leninist revolution to appreciate the more practical alternative of conventional politics as a channel for his socialist views.  I met Obama in December of 1980, a couple of days after Christmas, in Portola Valley -- a small town near Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA.  I was a 23 year old second-year graduate student in Cornell's Government Department, and had flown to California to visit a 21 year old girlfriend,...

One of the problems with the idea of "American exceptionalism" is that it exacerbates a kind of complacency common to man. This is the phenomenon whereby people often view themselves as exceptions -- saying, after some tragedy, for instance, something such as "I never thought it could happen to me." On a national level -- and this especially plagues great nations -- this manifests itself in the notion that "it" could never happen here. Oh, the "it" could be descent into tyranny, domination by a foreign power, or dissolution. Or maybe it could be the election of a leader who...

Like many political Americans, right or left or center, I'm still grappling with what President Obama did this week.  I'm trying to get a handle on what it means not so much for the country and the economy, but rather for Barack Obama. On Monday evening came the remarkable announcement by Obama that he had compromised with Republicans on a "framework" to extend the Bush tax cuts.  My take on that action was that Obama was motivated entirely by politics and not at all by ideology. That take was quickly reinforced on Tuesday, when Obama, almost chastising his angry left-wing...

Via Michael Moynihan at Reason. Remember Lars Vilks? A few years ago he decided to draw Mohammed as a pooch and has been dodging killers ever since, from garden variety Islamist nuts like “Jihad Jane” all the way up to the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq. Funny thing, though: Not only wasn’t he intimidated, he practically dared the mujahedeen to come and get him, letting CNN cameras film his home and even booby-trapping the place in case the soldiers of Allah paid him an unexpected visit. Quote: Vilks has faced numerous death threats over the controversial cartoon, but said...

Scott Baker and Liz Stephans from the B-Cast interviewed Dr. John C. Drew today. Drew said he tried to get his story out during the 2008 election. He says he was a Marxist himself in college and was until 1984. He knew Obama at Occidental College and went out to dinner and argued politics with the young Marxist Barack Obama. Drew says Obama was a Marxist-Leninist and believed in redistribution of wealth. He was deceiving the public during the election because he was 100% in agreement with his Marxist pals and professors. Drew still believes that Obama is a socialist....

“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.” – Barack Obama, “The Audacity of Hope” The mainstream media have ignored Barack Obama’s friends and colleagues from his college years who were willing to speak out. Now we know why. The B-List interviews Dr. John C. Drew, who I twogged about previously here, on his encounters with fellow student Barack Obama’s Marxist ideology as a student at Occidental College and before. The video is lengthy and...

Obama Espoused Radical Views in College [advocated communist revolution!] Steve Malzberg - WOR News Talk Radio 710 ^ | February 12, 2010 | Ronald Kessler Posted on Friday, February 12, 2010 7:33:56 PM by ETLDr. John C. Drew, a grant writing consultant in Laguna Niguel, Calif., tells Newsmax he met Obama in 1980 when Obama was a sophomore at Occidental College in Los Angeles. Drew had just graduated from Occidental and was attending graduate school at Cornell University. During Christmas break, Drew says he was at Grauman-Boss’ home in Palo Alto when Obama came over with Mohammed Hasan Chandoo, his...

Colossal efforts have been made to conceal Obama’s school records along with the enigmatic birth certificate. The president has elucidated little about his days at Occidental or Columbia other than to affirm his affection for radical, anti-American Marxists. Obama and his fellow travelers studied the writings of Frantz Fanon, another anti-white, anti-colonialist. Fanon’s book, The Wretched of the Earth, argues for an entirely new world order by way of “absolute violence.” Violence, according to Fanon, purifies. Obama mentor Edward Said was also a Fan of Fanon. At last, Dr. John C. Drew has come forward to acknowledge that Obama did...
