Therefore when thou givest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. Matthew 6:12 Imagine what the Three Pillars of Propaganda (Academia, Media and Democrats) would be saying if their messiah would have had a first year like President Trump’s? They would be running out of adjectives for his deity as we are witnessing one of the greatest first year presidencies in America’s histoir. To imagine he has single handedly taken this...

Most folks here support President Trump and what he is trying to do for the nation, what impact he is having on the nation. We hear good news, and we instinctively know it's good news.  At the same time I think we fail to focus on the magnitude of change at times. This is one of those times.  This good news cannot be overlooked.  Lets look at some numbers.  They are very impressive. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closed above 25,000 points today, at 25,075.13.  LINK  It's a first.  In the 120 years of the DJIA, this is the highest...

Let me get this ball rolling... Rigged: The Democrat primary was fixed for Hillary and against Bernie Sick: Hillary ran the Clinton Global Initiative and the State Department from the same private server to combine US policy and CGI fundraising activities and avoid public scrutiny. Rigged: Al Franken beat Norm Colman by fewer votes than those illegally cast by known felons. Sick: Obama obtained a FISA warrant based on a wholly fraudulent dossier, gathered information on the Republican Presidential Candidate, and widely disseminated the information by unmasking the names of the Republicans surveilled. Rigged: John Conyers II will pass his...

When Roy Moore wins the special election to replace Jeff Sessions it will culminate with the second stage of the re-emergence of the old Silent Majority (‘SM’), which can be defined simply as those people who play by the rules and get taken for granted by far too many people in elite circles. Whether those elites are in the media, the entertainment world, Washington DC political circles, whatever, the SM has decided to hit back with a vengeance this time around. President Trump was the first wave and now the second wave is about to hit, with Roy Moore overcoming...

Not the first time that POS Brian Ross conveniently lied about or faked a story to further an agenda. It's also not the first time the jaundiced swamp-whores and crypto-Never-Trumpers at FOX ran breathlessly to their mics, barely able to contain their glee; Our president was heading for the unthinkable constitutional crisis they've been vying for and the stock market was crashing on the news. YAAAAAAAAYYYYY! This is worse than yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theater. No objective person can deny that they are attempting to overturn an American election and hobble the will of The People... often in...

A good, quick video on the militia clause of the Second Amendment in light of the Militia Acts of 1792, the Dick Act of 1903, and U.S. Code Article 10.

The NFL Players Association is to be commended for an easy Contact Us page the is not full of clutter and popups. Wish them a Happy Thanksgiving. Let them know you did not watch them today.

It's true, I can't believe I've held this incredible pain inside me for so long but I have to tell somebody how cruelly and unfairly I was treated, Oh so long ago.I was new to the Army, heading to Basic Training in 1969, wanting to make a difference and serve my country and America but what I encountered shook me to my very core.Me, a wide-eyed recruit, got off the bus at Fort Lewis Washington and was immediately yelled at and verbally abused by this looming, big, (and mean), Staff Sergeant named SSG Gritman.He singled me out immediately because he...

It read like something straight out of "The Onion". "Innocent until proven guilty is for criminal convictions, not elections." So spake Mitt Romney, would-be King of the Establishment Republicans. This one sentence shows a complete betrayal of all American mores and morals. In every walk of life -- law, elections, even reputations -- Americans have cherished the concept that one is innocent until proven guilty. This shows how dangerous Establishment Republicans are. They are every bit as dangerous as the most liberal Democrat.... and if given enough freedom to act, they would happily join Democrats in rounding up and killing...

Greetings all: Here are my ideas for tax reform: Two brackets: 15% and 28% (instead of 12% and 25%), with said 15% bracket covering an amount of income equal to that taxed for Social Security (2X that for married couples and 1.5X that for head of household). There would be no higher 3rd, 4th or 5th brackets. Standard deduction of $12,000 ($24,000 for married couples, $18,000 for head of household), but keeping the personal and dependent exemptions (currently $4,050 apiece), with dependents including all dependents, not just children. Get rid of ALL deductions and credits, except for charitable giving and...

Two places to donate money to help the California fire victims! All of your money will go to that effort! The family that owns Hall’s Winery has started a matching fund drive to help the people in the fire areas needing financial aid. Every $ donated will be matched and will go to help those in need and not line some rich liberal so called charity’s pockets! Many of the evacuees left their homes at night with minimal clothing and basically what money they might have had at home. Many will have no homes to return to and maybe no...

While working on another study this afternoon, I stumbled across some figures that might be enlightening to others.  It was surprising to me. You see, I'm a member of a very special group.  Born white, male, and over 65 years of age, I'm guilty of white Privilege, (according to some people). Yes, I am hanging my head in shame, moving it from side to side.  ( /s )  How did I ever sink to this level?  Clearly there is a problem.  (Or is there?)  Can I ever atone for this?  Can you? Our white youth are considered to have an...

“In days to come, when your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ say to him, ‘With a mighty hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. Exodus 13:14 When are the blacks ever going to take an ounce of ownership for their violent culture? All of these put upon athlete desecrating our flag and our country would rather blame Whitey and white cops for their plight rather than answer the question of why their neighborhoods are the most violent in every city? Why is it you always see the blacks burning down their...

According to the FBI-- a hate group's "primary purpose is to promote animosity, hostility, and malice against persons belonging to a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity/national origin which differs from that of the members of the organization." Okay so lets run Islam through that criterion and see how it stacks up. Does Islam promote animosity, hostility, and malice against persons belonging to a--- race-no religion- YES definitely, they hate Jews, Chiristians, Hindus, etc every religion besides their own, and they very often kill people because of it. disability- no Sexual orientation--Another big YES, they throw gays in prison,...

9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. 10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. Job 2:9-10 When Texas receives hurricanes they make lemon-aid. God works in mysterious ways as we are witnessing some of the greatest Christian outreach in the Country being brought to bear in Houston. We are seeing what the Church and good old...

White is the New Black There was a shameful period in post-Civil-War America -- that war undertaken to rid us of a heinous national moral outrage, slavery -- in which the freed slaves were treated incredibly poorly. Denied opportunities, facing racism throughout the land, these African-Americans suffered indignity after indignity. They were denied access to good schools, or, sometimes, any education at all. They were passed over for all but the most menial jobs. The legal system was especially harsh to them. Welfare and other forms of government aid were shoved at them, in the effort to buy their votes...

In late 2011, when the Fast and Furious Obama-gunrunning scandal broke the news media logjam, I noticed something very odd: Almost immediately thereafter, two other major scandals broke open almost simultaneously. Soylandra, a 'green energy' startup, was shown to have misused and diverted millions of dollars, and there was a heavy political involvement by the Obama administration. Secondly, it emerged that the IRS was bending rules for liberal political advocacy groups and slow-walking the approval of conservative ones. It seemed to me, at the time, to be an Alinksy-style tactic: Overwhelming the system. By introducing and nearly-admitting several scandals at...

Statuary Rape A curious madness has swept the American left as of late: There is a hatred and a desire to tear down every monument and statue that 'offends' them. Leaving aside the fact that there is no American right to remain unoffended, what started as a focus on Confederate statues has spread to every manner of marker or memorial. Let us consider: A Houston man attempted to destroy a Confederate statue at the General Dowling Monument.... with a bomb! The 'offending' statue need not even be of a particular person, when, in Durham, protesters illegally toppled a statue of...

I think its time we played the "you must condemn and apologize for ___" on liberals, democrats and their leaders. They must Condemn and apologize for James T. Hodgkinson's shooting of Steve Scalise and the others he shot. They must condemn and apologize for the 15 murders of police associated with black lives matter, as well as the hundreds of people beaten and the hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage and looting. They must condemn and apologize for the rioting and beatings at Berkeley surrounding the Milo event. They must condemn and apologize for all the violence toward...
