Campus protest in the 60’s has somehow morphed into “Shut It Down!” chantsThis is deeply disturbing: yet another campus incident of censorship, A throng of angry protesters converged at Claremont McKenna College on Thursday and effectively shut down a pro-police speech as they surrounded the building, forcing the speaker to give the talk via livestream to a near-empty room as they yelled “F*ck the police” and “Black Lives Matter” and banged on windows. – The College Fix This time the target was Heather MacDonald a Manhattan Institute scholar and author of the 2016 book The War on Cops. Some of...

In case you live in a cave and are unaware: butts are the new boobs. Every young woman wants big ones in the 21st century. Some want them bad enough to have augmentations.There’s just no explaining some people’s taste and delusions. On an objective basis (i.e. da Vinci’s golden ratio) disproportionately large butts are not attractive.But(t) like so many issues, many of them far more important that the size of boobs and butts, pop culture has dictated what people accept as objective reality. Hence young women have been brainwashed into believing they need to haul around a big booty in...

How did I manage to miss National Beer Day? Alas it was yesterday, so it’s too late to have a beer for breakfast.Yes, that’s exactly what it looks like: A baby. For awhile it looked like they would have to replace their 12 year old label because the Michigan Liquor Control Commission  suddenly realized that it violated one of their zillion administrative rules that states "an advertisement or label affixed to a container, covering, carton, or case of containers of alcoholic liquor shall not depict or make reference in any manner to minors."The Commission apparently relented after Founders apologized for...

Tomahawk missiles. Strategic response to exigent circumstances. Targeted. Precise. Proportional. Oh yeah baby – we’ve still got it!I don’t mean to make light of a missile attack on foreign air bases in response to a horrific chemical weapon attack. And  I don’t suppose we’ll ever know with complete certainty who launched such savagery on the Syrian people, but I do know one thing: our air strike demonstrates with certainty that the U.S. is quite willing and able to unilaterally assume the role of the world’s  policeman.  You may not like that, but remember that  it was Obama who dealt this...

- See that red line? It means something now.: President Trump’s decision to bomb a Syrian airfield where chemical weapons were allegedly being manufactured with 59 Tomahawk missiles late Thursday sends a message to the Syrian government, the Iranians, the Russians and even the goofy little fat guy over in North Korea the days of bold talk and no action from the United States government ended on January 20. The ‘red line’ which Barack Obama fecklessly failed to enforce for half a decade was crossed yet again on Monday, and this President has now enforced it, the first time that...

A Perth woman was caught on video reading a book while driving.

Why do the Democrats only believe in unmasking the good guys?You may as well ask why they’re always lying, “I know nothing.” - Susan Rice equivocating, “Sure I did it, but not for political purposes. And I didn’t leak anything.” – Susan Rice and dissembling, “I voted against it (unmasking) before I voted for it.” – Susan Rice Or why, when caught, they always blame their enemies for their own transgressions: “The accusation against Susan Rice by the Breitbart crowd and by people in this building that I think are tossing around slanderous accusations without evidence.” – Rep. Schiff And...

- No one snatches defeat from the jaws of victory like congressional Republicans.: As he prepares to adjourn the House of Representatives for its completely unearned two week vacation, Speaker Paul Ryan announced that his GOP majority – which somehow managed to vote to repeal Obamacare dozens of times while it knew Barack Obama would veto any such bill – just cannot find a way to agree on a bill to modify the healthcare atrocity now that there is a Republican sitting in the White House anxiously awaiting to sign a bill – any bill – that comes his way....

The chimp at the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids, Michigan threw feces into a crowd of visitors. The nasty pile hit the woman right in the face and was left hanging from her nose.

Rich Lowry: Throughout its history, the United States Senate has experienced disgraceful filibusters (Strom Thurmond against the 1957 Civil Rights Act), entertaining filibusters (Huey Long in 1935 reciting a fried-oyster recipe) and symbolic filibusters (Rand Paul making a point about drone strikes in 2013). But the filibuster that Chuck Schumer is about to undertake against Judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court is perhaps the institution’s dumbest. Hard to argue with that, but in the interest of progressive politics there is nothing so dumb that the Democrats won’t do it. It won’t block Gorsuch, won’t establish any important jurisprudential...

You should never pull a gun on a war veteran. Thieves, robbers, general people up to no good: don't try to pull anything on someone who's prepared. Watch what happens when this fellow attempts to rob a store clerk who is also a war veteran and knows how to handle intense situations. the robber walks straight up to the counter, takes a drag from his cigarette, and immediately pulls his gun out and says, "You need to give me all your money." That was a mistake. Former military police officer Jon Lewis Alexander explains, "I pulled my weapon up and...

- Speaking truth to nitwits.: Italian designer Stefano Gabbana publicly thanked First Lady Melania Trump for wearing an outfit he designed in her new official portrait. He also told social media trolls who pounded on him for working with Mrs. Trump to “go to hell.” Cool. - Sorry folks, that cat don’t flush.: 20 Democratic members of the House signed a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan demanding that Rep. Devin Nunes be removed as the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Their letter contained the unintentionally hilarious line “this is about country, not party.” For the record, it has been...

As it turns out there is a conspiracy to investigate after all: the MSM silence/cover-up: ABC, NBC cover up revelation Susan Rice ordered unmasking of Trump team members, CBS gives cover.I was just asking yesterday, “Where are OUR Woodwards and Bernsteins?” I can tell you one thing, they aren’t working for the Washington Post: Washington Post Declares Susan Rice’s Abuse of Power a “Fake Scandal”“Independence” - well that ship has sailed.And it appears there is a Russian Connection after all, just not the one the MSM’s been looking for. It seems the Obama administration used Russian Police State tactics in...

President Donald Trump, as he promised, donated his presidential salary for the first quarter of 2017 to the National Park Service on Monday. The $78k+ will go to the preservation of historic battlefields. No word yet if the country’s social justice warriors have figured out a way to classify this act as somehow being “racist”, “sexist” or “homophobic”, but it’s just a matter of time.

- How about ‘no’, Chuck?: Cryin’ Chuckie Schumer told an interviewer on one of the Sunday morning talk shows about his latest bright idea to avoid nuking the filibuster over the Gorsuch nomination: Withdraw Gorsuch’s name from consideration, and set up a committee consisting of both Republican and Democrat senators who would have to unanimously approve any subsequent nominee before he would go to the Senate Juduciary Committee for consideration. Thus, you would have a committee making a recommendation to another committee making a recommendation to the full Senate. Yeahhhhhhhhhh…no.

I’ve run thorough all the important news: UNC v Gonzaga in the final game of March Madness tomorrow. And even though Barry was only 25% correct in his Final Four picks he could still pull out a win. Not bad when you’re getting marked on the curve. Known Intel official responsible for unmasking Team Trump, probably a political appointee. I’m guessing not one of Trump’s but you’re welcome to your own theory. And then I saw that not-for-profit  Ivy League Universities - who hold private endowments of nearly $120 billion - are receiving billions of federal dollars annually for entitlements like...

In one of the most appropriate and well deserved April Fools’ Day pranks of all time, the Russian Foreign Ministry posted on its Facebook page an audio file that supposedly showed the agency’s new switchboard message.

The Russia purpose Russia of Russia this Russia thread Russia is Russia to Russia discuss Russia anything Russia you Russia want Russia so Russia long Russia as Russia every Russia other Russia word Russia is Russia. Have Russia at Russia it. (Russia)

Michelle Obama was just sent a mind blowing bill by President Donald J. Trump for ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS, to repay the American people for all of the money she and her family blew through during their eight years in the people's home, our WHITE HOUSE. "The Obama family will never be able to pay" this bill, says the computer generated narrator on TheTrumpBreakingNewsNetwork.net who is calling the former first lady the most outrageous spender of all of America's first ladies! The Obama family spent a whopping TEN BILLION on their vacations, food, clothing, liquor, and cigarettes alone, according to the...

  William ShakespeareCurrently Venezuela, like Obamacare, is in an accelerating death spiral due to Hugo Chávez’ Andean socialism experiment, 1999-2013, the year of his demise. He managed to destroy an otherwise robust  economy in 13 short years. When Nicolás Maduro  took over he had little to work with but instead of reversing the policies that led to the collapse of the Venezuelan bolivar and the entire economy he doubled down. As his people make do without basic necessities - like food and toilet paper – he continues to consolidate power and control.  According to Bloomberg Venezuela is sliding “closer toward...
