Common Sense Kids Action California politicians at all levels of government are helping fund a sort-of shadow government of dubious non-profit organizations, which are often tied to said politicians or family members. An example of this is Sen. Hannah Beth Jackson’s “Senate Bill 947. Rather than teaching California’s students critical thinking skills, California Senator Hannah Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) wants California’s schools to teach kids how to spot “fake news.” On Jackson’s website she offers her definition of “fake news,” which is right in line with some of the country’s biggest “fake news” proliferators, MSNBC, CNN and Hillary Clinton:

Is Cambridge Analytica going to be left holding the bag for Obama's Data-Mining? Is the Cambridge Analytica alleged scandal—in reality a bombshell dropped out of the blue by the New York Times and The Guardian’s Observer—now dominating the daily news, a desperate replacement for Special Counsel Robert Mueller III’s fading ‘Russians-Stole-The-Election’ investigation? It certainly fits the desperate, no-evidence special counsel need like a glove.

We are now living in a time in history in which lies are said to be the truth. The majority of what one reads or hears are outright lies. That is now what we must accept as the TRUTH. Since Satan has won enough souls to live their lives for him, he keeps gaining on those of us who live for God. We have to realize this will not continue into infinity, but we are spending the present time under the oppression of Satan and his legions. At this present time, the Far Left is persecuting the Alt Right. How...

Facebook is failing, and I can’t say I am sorry about that. Facebook’s security chief is leaving the company after clashes over Russian disinformation – so sad to hear. However, karma will get you every time. Facebook’s reaction to a year of scandal has gone from defensive cluelessness and aloof silence. Users, or most of the users I know, don’t have a clue. But some users are getting the message that information they post on Facebook can be used in ways they did not intend, and usage is starting to decline. I quit Facebook a long time ago, as they...

WMAL interview of newly anointed Trump personal counsel.

Last Thursday (March 15th) the New Hamsphire legislature rejected a motion to call for a presidential pardon for Jerry DeLemus in connection with the Bunkerville Standoff. In early 2016 DeLemus was co-chair of the Veterans Coalition for Donald Trump in the New Hampshire Primary. Jerry was pictured with his wife Susan DeLemus, then a member of the State House, and Mr. Trump. After the primary, DeLemus was arrested in an early morning raid by federal marshals and ended up in a prison in Nevada. He was pressured into a guilty plea-plea deal and agreed to it. But later he wanted...

“We did call her Bloody Gina. Gina was always very quick and very willing to use force. Gina and people like Gina did it, I think, because they enjoyed doing it. They tortured just for the sake of torture, not for the sake of gathering information.”-John Kirakou I would take anything John Kirakou says with a grain from the salt pit.  I question his credibility. What does anyone really know about Gina Haspel, President Trump's nominee to be the next director of the CIA? Not a heck of a lot. So far what we have is media and ideology-driven hysteria:...

The day after the Department of Justice fired Andrew McCabe for making illegal leaks and lying about them, Robert Mueller leaked once again details about his investigation to the press. This time the self-serving scoop went to the Associated Press. "Andrew McCabe, the onetime FBI deputy director long scorned by President Donald Trump and just fired by the attorney general, kept personal memos detailing interactions with the president that have been provided to the special counsel’s office and are similar to the notes compiled by dismissed FBI chief James Comey," the Associated Press reported. Comey wrote memos to himself as...

Andrew McCabe has a net worth of $11 million, yet the loony Left are creating GoFundMe Campaigns for him?How does a civil servant get that rich over 20 years of service? He must have a fabulous investment strategy. Family money? Gifts from Hillary Clinton and Terry McAuliffe? From ZeroHedge: Despite being fired for lying under oath and leaking to the press in a manner that "lacked candor," former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has received an outpouring of support from the left. In addition to Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) offering him a temporary job so he can receive his full...

Subtitle: Outsourcing the Law. Imagine turning off the news media. Imagine not just turning it off but isolating yourself from it for a month. A fishing and hunting trip without any electronic devices would do the trick. Upon your return, you find out that congress had charged, tried, and found guilty all the higher echelon Obama administration officials who abused their offices to overthrow candidate and President Trump. You are told that because the executive and judicial branches wouldn’t do their jobs, congress decided to step in and punish Obama, Rice, Lynch, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Priestap and Page. Of course,...

Image from cjonline.com Topeka Kansas had 30 homicides in 2017. That is a record setting number. Of the 30 homicides, four have been ruled as justified so far.  The Topeka Capitol-Journal published that nine of the homicide investigations were still open at the end of the year.  Presumably, the Cazee-Watkins case was one of those. From cjonline.com: Cazee-Watkins was arrested Thursday in connection with criminal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and interference with a law enforcement officer (conceal/alter/destroy evidence). He is being held on a $20,000 bond. “The death of Kenneth Vetaw was investigated simultaneously with the...

While in India promoting her election memoir "What Happened," former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton laid a big share of the blame for her loss to Trump on "white women who were too weak to stand up to bullying by their husbands demanding that they vote for Trump." Clinton's former 2008 presidential campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle called Hillary's contention "wrong" and "unhelpful. To try to portray women as the pawns of men will clash with every woman's personal perception that she is the master of her own self. It won't ring true to women or to men. Rather than blaming...

More negative coverage he gets from the left wing media, the more he will resonate with ordinary people. Ford should not run around saying, “Vote for me, I’m just like Donald Trump.” But he should not run away from comparisons to the U.S. president Since winning the leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party a week ago, former Toronto City Councillor Doug Ford has been compared to Donald Trump. And not in a good way. But as polls taken since his victory indicate, a significant number of Ontarians do not like him but will vote for him anyway in order...

Manipulating the Masses: Is Hillary Clinton using epic video falls—up and down—stairs as a way to dodge being brought in for questioning on Uranium 1 and the pay-for-play Clinton Foundation scandal? Her latest fall was down the stairs in Mandu India. Video also shows Clinton falling up the stairs as she was walking up them into a residential facility that helps former felons, substance abusers and the homeless move into self efficiency on Feb. 24, 2016.

The Federalist Society's Georgetown Student Chapter presented its Seventh Annual Lifetime Service Award to Professor Richard A. Epstein on April 1, 2010.His address was titled "Natural Law in Ancient and Modern Guise".

Last Wednesday (March 14th) Ryan Bundy appeared in Las Vegas to announce that he will be a candidate for Governor of Nevada this year. Bundy's intention is to run as an independent, running against the Republican and Democrat candidates in the general election this fall. Soon Bundy will be on a listening tour across the state of Nevada as his candidacy moves forward. His brother Ammon posted on Facebook today (March 17th) regarding President Trump's announcement of a plan for monthly Governors Council to deal with federal state issues from federal regulation to federal funding aimed at states. His post...

"If you think this country is free, you are dead wrong! Wake up Americans!" Brianna Bundy "Facebook" post When Mel and Brianna Bundy tried to travel from Las Vegas to Portland, Oregon for Thursday's sentencing hearing for Joe O'Shaughnessy in connection with the Oregon Standoff, they ran into trouble. There were four S's (SSSS) on their airline tickets designating them as being on the terrorist watch list for airline travel. It just reminds us that things are not right and they need to change. Three men remain imprisoned in connection with the Bunkerville Standoff (Todd Engel in Nevada, Greg Burleson...

He pled guilty in connection with the Oregon Standoff protests and was facing charges in connection with the Bunkerville Standoff. Joe O'Shaughnessy was jailed without bail for 21 months and then freed when the hidden evidence proving his innocence came out late last year. Early this year the Justice Department withdrew his Bunkerville charges but they have appealed US District Judge Gloria Navarro's dismissal of charges against the key defendants. Last Thursday (July 15th) O'Shaughnessy appeared for sentencing at US District Court in Portland. He got the time he's served in jail and was sentence to two years of supervised...

If the American Dream was flat-lining, the Trump administration may be acting as a defibrillator. Against furious opposition from within and without, President Trump is taking a step in line with the Republicans who made the GOP America’s Party. Snip Establishment Republicans present a cheap simulacrum of their former glory and are America’s Party no more, they are Wall Street’s party, wittingly or otherwise. The GOP is largely disconnected from the hearts and minds of Middle America, a consequence of a Republican establishment that has enshrined free trade—pro aris et focis be damned—as the singular sacred cow of our republic....

PBS NEWSHOUR: Syndicated columnist Mark Shields and New York Times columnist David Brooks join Judy Woodruff to discuss the week’s news, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s firing amid a wave of rumors about a wider Cabinet shakeup, Pennsylvania’s stunning election upset and Sen. Jeff Flake’s comments about 2020. Brooks, who identifies as a conservative, lamented that Trump is "anti-system" and won't work through what he said is the "vast apparatus" in the White House. "Trump is getting Trumpier, and the administration is getting Trumpier," Brooks said. .... (snip) The scribe said he has spent much time with Trump supporters...
