This week's rifle assault by former Sanders for President volunteer James Hodgkinson on Republican members of congress practicing for the annual charity baseball game with their Democratic colleagues severely wounded House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La) and injured several others. The assault had apparently been planned after the New York Times published the location of the GOP practice back in April. Law enforcement authorities profess themselves baffled and unable to conceive of a motive for the attack. Hodgkinson's Internet post asserting "Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It's Time To Destroy Trump & Co." and the fact...

A ship filled with Canadian “Climate Change” researchers, whose goal was to study the reasons for the largely mythical “melting” of Arctic ice (Arctic sea ice extent is virtually unchanged since 2006), was forced to abandon its mission when it was prevented from launching its expedition as it was stuck in port for two solid weeks due to…wait for it…wait for it…TOO MUCH ICE! I swear I don’t make this stuff up. Naturally, the “scientists” spent their two weeks stuck in port devising a rationalization to blame their problem on…wait for it…CLIMATE CHANGE! Holy cow. But hey, it’s not just...

Okay, drop the Special Counsel investigation matter into “Russian collusion,” obstruction of justice and all the rest of your Trumped up leaks allegations and I’ll promise to get Hillary out of your hair for 10-15 years. Deal? Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

Satire: A Hugh Betcha Exclusive Interview “Americans just don’t appreciate good humor these days,” lamented Kathy Griffin in a hastily planned phone interview with Hugh Betcha, Ace Reporter for the StoosViews International Media Conglomerate. Hugh, winner of the CNN award for “Conservative Reporter We Would Most Like to Hang With, 2017,” a reporter respected on both sides of the aisle in Foggy Bottom, who walks with kings and princes—recently returning from the Mideast where he was asked to secretly broker a peace treaty between the Palestinians and Israel—is the go to guy when Hollywood wants publicity. Just finishing up his...

Fake journalists all over the fake news media spent most of the day yesterday desperately trying to distract the public’s attention away from the undeniable reality that it was their own lack of any journalistic ethics whatsoever that led directly to the mass shooting of House Minority Whip Steve Scalise and four others on Wednesday. Chuck Todd was the champion rationalizer when he proclaimed that “we’re all to blame”. Meaning, of course, that everyone except him and his fellow fake media assassination dog-whistlers are to blame. Well, sorry, Chuck, it’s you. Your fellow fake journalists. Your network and its corporate...

So, I see that Fox is dropping it’s “Fair and balanced” motto:Back in the day when Fox liked the concept of their motto.Too bad MSNBC already tagged the “Lean Forward” slogan for their own –…or left, or back, or whateverI think “Lean Over” is still available though, and may be suitable for the new direction Fox is headed.It’s not just the river slipping away. And CNN and MSNBC will be happy to tell you “all that is to be known” just like the New York Times and Washington Post gives you all the news they see fit to print.Posted from:...

Donald Trump gets elected and the Left protests by setting fires in the street: They form a “Resistance” and continue to riot for months, forming a “Resistance” whose members throw punches, attacking their “enemy” with their fists, sticks and bike locks stuffed in a sock. Celebrities who have joined the movement throw oil on the fire saying increasingly stupid things like they want to burn the White House down. And suddenly every Democrat pol is so angry they have seemingly lost the ability to control themselves and the air turns blue with their F-bombs.The Left forms “The Resistance” made up...

Just one day after I published a piece asking why liberals and their agents in the fake national news media were openly promoting the assassination of a sitting U.S. President, their incessant dog-whistling bore its first fruit when a lunatic disciple of Bernie Sanders opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle on a softball practice involving 15 Republican members of congress. The shooter, whose social media rantings and associations made it clear he had been fully indoctrinated by the radical leftwing advocates employed by CNN, MSNBC, HBO and the Comedy Channel and their non-stop de-humanization of President Trump and GOP members...

So you're the guy thats referred to as the “armorer” by all your friends because you have all the guns. But if all your friends ask you to take them shooting, would you? As you know this can be quite costly. This video shared on Facebook by Themanspot shows what happens when we let friends shoot our guns. We go broke. You'll feel the pain of this hysterical video. This is what can happen when your friend has friends in town that want to shoot your guns. Well you stand back and watch the dollar bills get blasted out of...

I  know it’s tragic and all, but I certainly hope the symbolism here isn’t lost on the British people:Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

Some observations from AG Jeff Sessions’ testimony before the Senate Intelligence (pardon the oxymoron) Committee on Tuesday: - Sessions’ tone was perfect, his righteous indignation completely appropriate under the circumstances, his defense of his honor compelling and believable. All in all, a great decision by him to insist on public testimony when the committee Democrats wanted to question him out of the public eye. Given their own performances, which ranged from disingenuous (Mark Warner), to imperiously strident (Kamala Harris), to buffoonish (Ron Wyden), it’s easy to see why they wanted to do this one in private. Too bad. - If...

New York City’s “Shakespeare In The Park” troupe had a very bad day on Monday, in the wake of the premier of its production of “Julius Caesar”, which portrays the assassination of a central figure who looks an awful lot like President Donald Trump. The inevitable controversy over the play has now resulted in several of the troupe’s major sponsors cancelling their support, including Delta Airlines, Bank of America, and later in the day, American Express. Naturally, Time Warner, the parent company of CNN, which has been dog-whistling in favor of assassinating the President since shortly after he announced his...

Today’s Topic: Shakespeare in the Park, an Assassination. Funny, it’s “art” when the Left approves and “racist” “sexist”  “homophobic” or “Islamophobic” when they don’t. That’s a little too nuanced for me. And poor dear Chelsea,she apparently didn’t know exactly which way to go with the depiction of the assassination of the American President so she rather inartfully attempts to tread water:Ha, ha - irrelevance is something none of the Clintons can get their heads around.For future reference: sometimes it’s best to  shut up and have people assume you’re stupid instead of tweeting to prove it.  I guess Chels was just...

Creaky Old John McCain, whose incoherent questioning in last week’s James Comey hearing led to speculation about whether he was having a stroke or is suffering from dementia, chose yet another foreign venue in which to criticize President Donald Trump on Sunday. He told the Guardian that U.S. “leadership” was better under Barack Obama than it currently is. Mr. McCain has made a habit of bashing the current President on foreign soil and fake news media, something he never did to Barack Obama, even after Obama was revealed to have shipped more than $400 million in cash money to the...

One of the points Alan Dershowitz made in the Op-Ed I linked in Friday’s post: I think it is important to put to rest the notion that there was anything criminal about the president exercising his constitutional power to fire Comey and to request – “hope” – that he let go the investigation of General Flynn. Just as the president would have had the constitutional power to pardon Flynn and thus end the criminal investigation of him, he certainly had the authority to request the director of the FBI to end his investigation of Flynn. I agree; I recommend that...

From Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez to California Democratic Party Chair John Burton to New York State Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, cussing has become the new norm of communication with their tribe. Some speculate that they are simply reflecting frustration over losing the election. Not so: despite claims to the contrary, that is who they are. They own the coarsening of our culture that brings us to this point in time. So coarsened that a U.S. Senator feels perfectly comfortable connecting with her young-ish audience by letting rip with a few F-bombs, so comfortable in fact that they were scripted into...

Readers have demanded to know what I think of the James Comey hearing. In the words of Daffy Duck, shoot me now. Okay, the slightly longer answer is: I don't think about it. And there isn't enough money in the world to pay me to think about it. But, if you insist, I will make a couple of points: 1) The FBI should not be in the counter-intelligence business. There are, as Democrats never tire of pointing out, "17 intelligence agencies", which is, by my count, 15 too many. We should at least get it down to 16, by eliminating...

To those who still believe that President Trump is a big dummy, without a strategic bone in his body, I pose one question: If Trump had not fired James Comey how long would it have taken to find out that a) Trump was not the subject of any investigation b) there is no collusion c) there is no obstruction of justice. And if Trump hadn’t sent out this tweet: how different might James Comey’s testimony have been? “The President tweeted on Friday, after I got fired, that I better hope there's not tapes. I woke up in the middle of...

To commemorate Reza Aslan losing his job at CNN for his anti-Trump tweets, Gavin McInnes deconstructs a taqiyya video from the annoying Reza Aslan.

Everyone loves to shoot and see things go kaboom. One of the things that you must consider is safety if you're going to shoot at tannernite. Be sure to be at a safe distance with some cover. Take for example the guy in this gif image here, he is using a tree as a barricade just in case debris comes flying. Well after seeing this you can tell, this fellow needs more than a tree if shooting from this short distance, he should have been in a fortified bunker. Don't try this at home. See the full footage here.
