I have been thinking about Tim Farron's assertion that he feels it 'impossible' to be leader of the Liberal Democrats while living as a faithful Christian. So he has stopped doing that (being leader of the Lib Dems, I mean). I'm not all that sympathetic to Mr. Farron.... People who profess Christian belief must expect to be reviled a bit, an even take it as a compliment. As Christ himself said (Matthew 5, 11-12) 'Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice and...

Essex County College professor Lisa Durden was indefinitely suspended two days after a fiery and belligerent appearance on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight. On Tucker Carlson’s June 6 program, Durden launched a fierce defense of a black-only Black Lives Matter Memorial Day party restricting whites from attending based solely on their skin color. Carlson challenged her position, asking why it’s okay to exclude people based on their race. “I thought the whole point of Black Lives Matter, or one of the points, would be to speak out against singling people out on the basis of their race and punishing them...

Barack Obama could soon hear his name being uttered as part of Angelenos’ driving directions, with a Los Angeles city councilman proposing to name a street after him. Obama Boulevard could prove a relatively more innocuous role for the 44th president’s name than “Obamajam” — the oft-used term to refer to the anticipated congestion that accompanied his frequent fundraising trips to the Los Angeles area. City Council President Herb Wesson wants to rename a 3.4-mile segment of Rodeo Road, between Jefferson Boulevard and Arlington Avenue, after Obama because it would be a fitting addition to what is known in his...

I am sick of the media being the story every single day. There is only 10% Trump and what has happened that day, and 90% the media reaction to it and how it is so awful and they can't believe he is doing that and how he's like Hitler. Every. Single. Day. The Media drives the daily news stories, and their reaction to how horrible it is is the discussion topic every day. And the people have to listen to ONLY what the media decide about it, and what the media want to talk about that day, which is usually...

Too late for asbestos; it will never be brought back. But there's always the hysteria that will beset us tomorrow... There was no single cause of the tragic 24-story Grenfell Tower conflagration in London. The British newspaper The Telegraph lists eight factors, including lack of dual staircases, lack of sprinklers both outside and inside, and sub-standard fire doors—none of which at this time appear to have violated the law. But nothing contributed more to the sheer speed of the spread, blocking both exits and preventing rescues, and hence the horrific death toll, than what’s called “cladding.” That’s a covering or...

Both in the US and the UK, the issues of mental health care, treatment and support are areas that almost all of the main political parties are in agreement on: more must be done. But why is it that this apparently growing problem is not being investigated as other health concerns invariably are? Is there a mental health epidemic on the horizon? Are the figures rising year on year? The only time government does not look for an answer is when it already has one; so what is really happening? Firstly, it is worth looking at the actual numbers (it...

Donald J. Trump ✔ ‎@realDonaldTrump With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea... 10:54 AM - 22 Jun 2017

Obama/Pakistan/John Brennan (Obama Mentor And CIA Obama Appointee). I learned so much today that my mind has been blown. I will never be the same, because for so very long I wanted to know what changed my America. How did the enemies of my Country gain access to the top of the political chain? Who is really trying to impeach Trump? How did three elite Pakistani spies, called the Awan Brothers, infiltrate the top levels of Government on Capitol Hill, work there for three years, steal secret intelligence, and escape back to Pakistan? The story begins with a radical young...

We will all remember the beginning of the end for Planned Parenthood as the day they tried to install pro-abortion warrior Jon Ossoff in Congress, but ended up being ‘referendumed’ instead If the truth, rather than media propaganda got to tell the story, this is what really went down in Tuesday’s special Georgia election: Planned Parenthood poured big money in trying to elect Democrat pro-abortion crusader Jon Ossoff to Congress in Tuesday’s special election in Georgia—but ended up instead aborting aborting his election chances.

On 6 June, 2017, at a quiet residential home in Fresno, California, a home invasion resulted in a gunfight . The 30 -year-old  victim who fought back was wounded, two home invaders were killed, as was another victim, the father of the wounded defender. Another man was wounded. His name was not released. The defensive firearm used was described as an AR-15. From abc30.com: Yang said the family was preparing to celebrate her brother-in-law's birthday when in the early morning two armed suspects walked through their front door. The father, 69-year-old Chong Yee Yang, hollered to warn his children--...

The Conservative think tank, Just facts, has released the results of a long running study into whether or not voter fraud from non US citizens actually takes place. Up until now, the MSM and especially the previous government have followed “the truth” of an old report that stated “zero people out of 18 million in the US have voted illegally”. But more in-depth research now suggest that of 7.2 million non-US citizens who are illegally (or mistakenly ) registered to vote, a potential 5.7 million could have cast ballots in the 2008 Presidential election. When Barack Obama said “Of course...

“¡Queremos ayudarle!” I shout. I’m trying to reassure my restless patient in the medical intensive care unit that we want to help. Nurses tie his flailing arms and legs to the bed rails. He is only several hours from his last drink, meaning worse agitation is to come as his alcohol withdrawal progresses. The nurses strategize out loud, but the English that fills the room is incomprehensible to him. Within minutes, security guards arrive. The patient's eyes bulge when he sees their dark blue uniforms and the intercoms strapped to their shoulders. This, I realize, could easily seem like his...

Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, wants the White House to explain why senior adviser Jared Kushner still has a security clearance despite reports he failed to disclose meetings with Russian officials and businessmen. Cummings sent a letter signed by all the Democrats on his committee to White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus on Wednesday requesting documents by July 5, including Kushner’s security clearance application and records of his contacts with Russians. Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, omitted dozens of contacts with foreign leaders on his security clearance application, The New York...

Peter Beinart’s enlightening in-depth piece in the July issue of The Atlantic digs into the left’s drastic transformation on immigration. In it, Beinart details just how far liberals have gone in just the last decade to the left on immigration, shifting from following federal immigration law to touting open borders. He begins with some pretty stunning examples. In 2005, Glenn Greenwald wrote, “Illegal immigration wreaks havoc economically, socially, and culturally; makes a mockery of the rule of law; and is disgraceful just on basic fairness grounds alone.” He obviously hates Mexicans. Another insight into how far the left has devolved...

The Real Lesson of Ossoff's Defeat is the Bay Area Can't Buy an Election June 21, 2017 Daniel Greenfield The left is having a sad day after losing in Georgia despite the $23 million that was squandered to buy an election for a lefty rich kid from outside a Republican district. At the Washington Post, where democracy drowns in its own hateful saliva, the lesson is that Ossoff was just too "civil". How do you get more civil than "Make Trump Furious"? And what better template is there for winning, what was supposed to be a stealth election in a...

...The Truth is Much, Much Worse The European Union is taking Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic to court for refusing to take 160,000 migrants in under an agreement made in 2015. They are looking at a fine of 250,000 Euros per migrant. But what is not being reported is the fact that these three countries ARE taking migrants, but only those that do not Fail basic vetting. The European nations are essentially being asked to take in Migrants that the nations’ own Security Services deem to be a terror risk. They have taken in migrants who do pass the...

Who murdered reputed Hillary Wikileaks whistle-blower Seth Rich? A random robber An agent of the Democrat Party

Democrats will be tearing their own hair out now that the citizenry can clearly see what they are. Stay safe America So-called ‘White Obama’ Jon Ossoff’s defeat in the special election for Georgia’s 6th Congressional district yesterday makes it clear that the Democrats are going down in the water for the third time with no lifeguard coming to save them. Resistance leaders Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the hordes of entertainment industry celebrities, mainstream media puppets, their hate-spewing and violence are killing the Democrat Party and driving it deeper into exile.

Protestors took to the streets of London purportedly in response to the tragic fire at Grenfell Towers; but the reality is that this is nothing but the Militant Left using undemocratic means to force another election. Politicians are to blame for this directly; it is no coincidence that Labour Shadow Chancellor, John McDonald, several days ago called for a million people to take to the streets and force an early election…and then people take to the streets?!?!?! This is not a Grassroots movement of spontaneous uprising; it is a well-organised and well-funded protest with the aim of removing a democratically...

Who are the terrorists? Depending on who happens to wield the weapon of choice (be it gun, knife, bomb or motor vehicle) there seems to be a real dispute regarding the label’s application. Officials sit on their hands before calling it terrorism when it comes to dozens and hundreds (Paris 11/13/15) of Christians, conservatives, concert-goers or baseball fans losing life and limb. Monday morning’s incident of a van driver mowing down individuals outside of a Finsbury Park mosque in North London was a different story. Politically correct officials had no compunction applying the term terrorist to the vehicle’s operator that...
