Ahmed Mohamed and his "clock" The child exploited by CAIR and President Barack Hussein Obama to create the false impression that America is a seething hotbed of Muslim-hatred had his nonsensical religious discrimination lawsuit tossed by a federal judge in Dallas. I am referring to Ahmed Mohamed, the teenaged poster boy for “Islamophobia” whom the Council on American-Islamic Relations relentlessly pimped as a victim. In fact, Mohamed is a bomb hoaxer called Clock Boy by some.

So..the media is awful everywhere, eh? Oh. So, a solid understanding of the media’s bias, agenda, and reckless disregard for reality isn’t just a thing here in the United States? ...And here I thought we were the only people at odds with the blatant hackery of our press. Good to know it’s not just us.

Deep State is, in fact as old as greed, and as shallow as the lowest of political vices The concept of “deep state” is nothing new. While the origins of the term are often attributed to Turkish “derin devlet” (1990), cryptocracy was already known to ancient Romans and Athenians. Cicero came up with very contemporary-sounding questions: “To what length will you abuse our patience (Catiline)? How long is that madness of yours still to mock us? “, in 63B.C when a Roman senator used “status in statu” in his bid for power. The causes of conspiracy also ring a bell:...

Maximum CNN There’s a question that Democrats love to ask whenever they don’t control the White House. Kids are, as we’ve been told a thousand times, our most precious national resource. It takes a village to raise them. So, whenever they’re faced with the horrors of a Republican President, Dems want to know: What are the children thinking? Oh, woe. Woe to the children! They’re being forced to live through the Trump presidency! The guy has only been in office a few months, and already the scars are piling up. One wonders how they can even sleep at night, knowing...

Comey is an incompetent, lying slimeball far more interested in Washington politics and staying in the media spotlight than in doing the right thing. Good riddance President Trump is draining the swamp. On the advice of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and from Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, President Trump has terminated the employment of FBI Director James Comey, effective immediately. Here is thetext of the president’s letter to Comey:

Part 2: “Health is a basic American right,” makes for nice rhetoric but lousy policy. In the first post in this series I took Ben Stein to task for suggesting on “Your World with Neil Cavuto” that single-payer health care protects people with preexisting conditions. During his appearance, Stein also let this gem drop: “It is a basic American right to have decent health care. That is a basic right. We live in a very rich country…and the idea that any parent who sees his child born with a serious defect will think, ‘My God, I might not be able...

Persistence and truth, that's what. Hillary Clinton is still in denial as to why she lost the 2016 presidential election. She and other liberals are also in denial that President Trump and his administration are having a positive impact on this nation. As a result, Hillary has indicated she will be a part of the resistance. My question is resistance to what? What don’t they like about a positive tone from the top, business growth, shrinking unemployment, a shrinking federal bureaucracy, enhanced national security, a robust stock market, and coming soon, a robust growing economy?

According to the gun-control left, this never happens. The “good guys with guns” scenario is pure fiction. In fact, when someone tries to use their own gun to stop a bad guy, what usually ends up happening is that he ends up shooting himself! There is no end to the left’s ability to imagine virtuous, God-fearing Americans as completely inept clowns.

America needs a Hillary PAC like it needed a Hillary presidency. But foreign donors are less interested in giving Clinton Foundation money now that Chelsea is the heir to the throne. Chelsea has all the charisma of a drunken poodle As a poor black Southern Yankees fan who came under sniper fire in Bosnia, would anyone expect any less from Hillary Clinton? Talking to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour at the Women for Women International Luncheon, she announced, “I’m now back to being an activist citizen and part of the resistance.”

Thanks Obama. Thanks Kerry. Back when the Obama administration was doing the full court press in support of its Iran nuclear “deal,” we were told that, sure, some of the money would fund terrorism, but most of it would go into Iran’s economy. We knew this, because that’s what the trustworthy folks running Iran told us. As former Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken put it… “We know. We’ve seen it. We see what they’re saying. We see how they are spending it and what they’ve told us. But also what we see is that instead of going to the...

Diversity....Quick. Make this woman Commander in Chief! Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Senator, probable future presidential candidate, fake Indian, and world-renowned military strategist wants you to know something. She’s done the research and determined what our military’s greatest strength is. Her findings will shock you. Our military’s greatest strength is not the gargantuan MOAB bomb we dropped on Afghanistan. In fact, our weaponry has nothing to do with it. That means it’s also not our nuclear arsenal, our combat gear, or our defensive countermeasures. It has nothing to do with the planet’s greatest collection of tanks, planes, and ships, either. Heck, it’s...

'Takes a lot of work to lose to Donald Trump' Earlier, Dan shared the video of Hillary Clinton accepting “complete responsibility” for her embarrassing 2016 loss. Then, as Hillary always does, she turned around and blamed everyone and everything else. Her version of taking responsibility means paying lip service to her failures, before dredging up scapegoats like FBI Director James Comey, Wikileaks, Russia, misogyny, and fake news. Even as she does a perfunctory mea culpa, she’s playing the victim card. She just can’t help herself.

Change the name - change the game Correcting this fabricated United Nations Arab narrative is urgently required The United Nations publication “The Origins and Evolution of the Palestine Problem 1917-1988” (“Study”) has deliberately misrepresented the actual wording of General Assembly Resolution 181 passed on 29 November 1947 - deceiving many academics who have disseminated the Study’s false message. The Study has been published by the Division for Palestinian Rights of the United Nations Secretariat for, and under the guidance of, the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People.

Capital punishment in the US needs to be debated on its own merits and may eventually go the way of Canada. Until then, a humane society needs to choose the most humane method of employing it Lethal injection executions, back in the news, just aren’t working. For a variety of reasons. While they are bloodless (so is strangulation, starvation, and being broken on the wheel), it appears they often are not painless. They most certainly are not quick, sometimes taking hours. They arguably violate the Hippocratic Oath in having a doctor perform them, yet you hardly want an amateur to...

The Left used May Day to push its open-borders agenda this year. There were loud, violent, disruptive protests across America yesterday for International Workers’ Day, but American workers’ issues were barely discussed as they took a back seat to the Left’s current mania for illegal aliens and open borders. This May Day comes after R. Alexander Acosta, 48, was sworn in as the 27th Secretary of Labor by Vice President Mike Pence last week. Acosta, whose nomination was endorsed by the Laborers’ International Union of North America and other unions, was a U.S. Attorney and dean of Florida International University...

They want us to believe their hatred knows no bounds, but in truth after first corroding its hosts, their once virulent, spittle-flecked hatred is already running out of steam. All those out there marching along the ‘Highway of Hate’ will never get it: Every Highway of Hate ever created ends with a wall impossible to scale. Called the ongoing Battle of Good Versus Evil, the wall’s infuriatingly and frustratingly stood there down through the annals of time. Notice how Evil, while it continues to march on, never quite wins? That’s because the Battle of Good Versus Evil cannot come to...

Good question...The spending bill is a disaster, and the blame game isn't going to cut it anymore Yesterday morning, I discussed the atrocious spending bill that’s currently wriggling its way through Congress like a heartworm through a mangy dog. It appears that the GOP has, once again, caved to every imaginable Democrat demand because they’re simply too cowardly to fight for their alleged agenda. After winning the House, Senate, and Presidency, they put forth a plan that gives their opponents everything they wanted - and today, the Democrats are taking a victory tour of the news channels where they grin...

“Nothing good happens after midnight.” Certainly, this is true today in New Orleans under the leadership of egomaniacal Mayor Mitch Landrieu. It is quite ironic that the liberal Democrat Mayor of New Orleans, Mitch Landrieu, is trying to erase uncomfortable parts of the city’s rich history while simultaneously preparing to celebrate the tri-centennial next year. A world-renowned city known for priceless architecture and monuments is becoming less interesting, all because of Landrieu’s insatiable political aspirations. The march toward political correctness began early Monday morning at 1:30 a.m. as masked men in unmarked vehicles with no license plates removed the Liberty...

Problem with that is that their listeners, viewers and readers do not want to be entertained. They want to be truthfully informed. With the bulk of the mainstream media having long ago thrown totally in with the progressive left, should anybody have to guess who won’t be coming to tonight’s annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner? President Donald Trump stuck to his boycott of the event, and it took less than a nanosecond for a highly offended media to come across like the aggrieved party.

Chris Hayes goes all in on Black Nationalism with "A Colony in a Nation" Black Nationalism is hot. Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates, in which publishing’s answer to Kanye West contended that the white firefighters of 9/11 were “not human,” won a National Book Award. Ibram X. Kendi’s Stamped from the Beginning, which indicted a post-racial society as racist, won the next one. But the dirty little secret is that the target audience for these Black Nationalist tracts is as lily white as the MSNBC lineup.
