Hmmm. Reggie Love sent out this bizarre fundraising email Tuesday night. There have always been fringe rumors about a romantic relationship between Reggie and Barack. This email doesn’t help. Reggie even emphasizes his position as Barack’s “body man” in the email.

Who won the convention ratings race, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton? Trump, by a margin of two million viewers, according to Nielsen, the TV ratings firm.

Federal agents over the weekend arrested a Pinellas Park man described as having extremist jihadist beliefs who wanted to blow up a target in Tampa and create "terror" in victims' hearts. "I want to do something terrifying," he said, according to a federal complaint, "like one day, one night, something's going to happen. Then six hours later, something else." Sami Osmakac, 25, was taken into custody after an FBI sting operation in which he tried to buy explosives, at least 10 grenades, Uzis and an AK-47, authorities said. Osmakac's intended target shifted over the course of the investigation, which spanned...

Throughout the United States, approximately 4 percent of the population self-identifies as gay, lesbian, or bisexual.

Grindr, the gay dating app, is an effective way to get gay black and Hispanic men to try home H.I.V. self-testing kits, according to a recent study. The small study was confined to Los Angeles, and fewer than 400 test kits were distributed, but the idea has broader potential. Grindr is used by at least five million men in 192 countries, according to its developer. In the United States, young gay black and Hispanic men are the groups most likely to be infected with H.I.V. and the least likely to be tested for it, because they often lack health insurance...

This weekend Milo Yiannopoulos joined the Russia Today Network to talk about Donald Trump, globalists, guns and the threat of Islam to gay people everywhere. Milo declared Donald Trump the most pro-gay candidate in American electoral history. Yiannopoulos predicted that 50% of gays will vote for Donald Trump in this year’s election. Breitbart.com reported: “ Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos appeared on Russia Today to discuss presidential nominee Donald Trump, the conservative change in the gay community following the Orlando shooting and why Islam is a danger to gay people everywhere. “What’s interesting about Trump is the message that he...

The wake-up call that Gays and Lesbians received with the murder of forty nine innocent peaceful members of their community on June 12th in Orlando is having a clear effect on their political opinions. They are slowly moving toward support of Donald Trump. A 2012 Gallup survey found that just 13% of the Gay and Lesbian community self-identify as Republican so Trump or any Republican would have a tough time growing a base of this group; but yet it is happening. As he has with so many other groups who have been historically unfriendly to Republicans, Trump has found a...

Pope Francis says gays — and all the other people the church has marginalized, such as the poor and the exploited — deserve an apology. Francis was asked Sunday en route home from Armenia if he agreed with one of his top advisers, German Cardinal Reinhard Marx, who told a conference in Dublin in the days after the deadly Orlando gay club attack that the church owes an apology to gays for having marginalized them. Francis responded with a variation of his famous "Who am I to judge?" comment and a repetition of church teaching that gays must not be...

Democratic lawmakers shut down the U.S. House Wednesday by staging a sit-in on the House floor to demand a vote on gun control legislation. Roughly 40 House lawmakers sat on the floor and refused to allow Republicans to take back control. They took turns talking about gun violence, said they wouldn't leave until House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., allowed a vote on measures to curb it, and chanted over and over "No bill, no break!" The House is scheduled to adjourn on Friday and be out of session until July 5.

In the wake of the Orlando shooting at a gay nightclub a week ago, the LGBT community is rejecting Hillary Clinton’s gun-grabbing policy, turning out in droves in support of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee — Donald Trump. And in turning their backs on Clinton, they’re also rejecting President Barack Obama’s anti-gun narrative after the slaughter, and supporting Donald Trump’s message that we must combat radical Islam to prevent future such attacks. “I knew I had to fully support Trump because he called out the threat for what it was — radical Islamic terrorism,” Stephen Zieman, 23, a gay Trump...

For Negrete and other Latinos in the LGBTQ community, the Sunday massacre, which President Barack Obama has recently called an act of terror and a hate crime, shined a spotlight on an issue that has not been discussed enough: the targeting of people of color within the community. “A Latinx transwoman was shot the other day in Santa Ana,” said Negrete. Latinx is a term being used with increasing frequency on social media, replacing the “o” in Latino with “x,” making the masculine identifier gender-neutral.

When the Southern Baptist leader Russell Moore reached sympathetically out to the L.G.B.T. community in the wake of Orlando, the gay writer Zack Ford expressed a view often heard this week: that unless conservative Christians change their minds on homosexuality, their post-Orlando expressions of solidarity are worthless. The Times took a similar line in its lead editorial today, smearing G.O.P. politicians opposed to various L.G.B.T. rights laws with the blood of the Orlando dead. This escalates the culture war to an openly religious conflict, in the sense that neither side can back down without compromising what it holds sacred. And...

Former "Star Trek" star and gay activist George Takei penned an op-ed for The Daily Beast Tuesday arguing that the First Amendment cannot be protected without limiting the Second, and calling for a "common-sense" ban on firearms "designed for mass slaughter." Mr. Takei wrote that the LGBT community is grappling with the notion that Sunday’s terrorist attack on the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando "was inspired by religious fanaticism." [Snip] Mr. Takei wrote that the constitutional right for citizens to own, purchase and sell "semi-automatic firearms" conflicts with their right to peaceably assemble "without undue fear of being targeted or...

These questions have to be answered about the Islamist terror attack on peaceful people who did not bother anyone but a hateful, registered Democrat. 1) How did the murderer’s family get into our country? 2) Were they accepted as “refugees” and was the program that was constructed by liberals and Democrats to bring in more beholding voters the same that brought in the scum that murdered innocent people watching the Boston Marathon? 3) Are we sure the shooter acted alone? 4) Had he been to the club previously; does anyone remember him there? 5) Was he a self-hating Muslim homosexual...

Kabul (AFP) – The father of the gunman behind the Florida massacre voiced sadness that his son took it upon himself to attack the gay community, saying it was “up to God to punish homosexuals”. In a video posted on Facebook early Monday, Seddique Mateen said he was grieved by the rampage that left 49 people dead in a gay nightclub in Orlando, calling the 29-year-old killer Omar Mateen a “good and educated son”.

The United West investigative team reported in April on an Islamic imam who was invited to speak at the The Husseini Islamic Center in Sanford, Florida. The Husseini Islamic Center invited Sheikh Farrokh Sekaleshfar to speak at their holy mosque. Dr. Sekaleshfar said the killing of homosexuals is the compassionate thing to do.

To win the fight against syphilis, we need to increase screening and detection among high-risk individuals from once a year to every three months. That's one of the recommendations announced today by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent volunteer panel of experts that provides input about the effectiveness of specific preventive care services. The report appears in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The increase in screenings should focus on the groups at highest risk -- HIV-positive men, men who have sex with men, and men ages 20 to 29 -- and safe sex practices, specifically the...

Back then it was a problem also, but at least the truth was given by the police and schools.

Is the American culture on the verge of collapse? Some say yes. What forces are likely to be responsible for such a calamity? Could it be the government and its willful contempt for the widely shared conceptions of right and wrong which once held this nation together? Might it be an external force that has become too powerful thanks to the growing supply of active American traitors in positions of authority? And either way, will enough dedicated Americans remain to pick up the pieces? Our colleges are teaching mindless chair-warmers that capitalism is bad and socialism is good. Schoolchildren throughout...
