Sheila Gunn Reid, Alberta bureau chief of The Rebel, was assaulted at the Women’s March yesterday while covering the event. It seems not even journalists covering their march are safe from the “tolerance” of liberals. Below is video of the ordeal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1eb9vQ1vAkThrough swift detective work and Internet sleuthing, the identity of the attacker was determined to be Dion Bews of Alberta, Canada. It takes a very special kind of man to lob a throw at a female’s face. This man supposedly stands for the liberal values of equality and kindness. He could have fooled me, though! Thankfully, even with the...

Phil Murphy, the Democratic front-runner in the 2017 race to replace Gov. Chris Christie, picked up the endorsements of New Jersey's Democratic U.S. Senators on Monday and vowed to disobey orders from a President Donald Trump that would violate the constitution or are "un-American." Murphy appeared at his campaign headquarters in downtown Newark to tout the endorsements of U.S. Sens. Cory Booker and Robert Menendez. "I will not take orders from an Administration that are unconstitutional or un-American," Murphy vowed.

Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said he is confident that he has laid the groundwork for Democrats to nuke the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees if they win back the Senate in November. Envisioning Hillary Clinton in the White House and Democrats controlling the Senate, Reid warned that if a Senate Republican minority block her Supreme Court nominee, he is confident the party won’t hesitate to change the filibuster rules again. Such a move would be an extension of what Reid did in 2013 when he was still majority leader, eliminating filibusters (with a simple majority vote) on...

Remember when Democrats insisted that incoming presidents had to get immediate confirmation of Cabinet appointments for the good of the nation? What a difference an (R) makes ... The Washington Post’s Ed O’Keefe reports on a plan by Senate Democrats to “slow walk” confirmation of Donald Trump’s appointments, including an insistence on nor more than two confirmations a week: Democratic senators plan to aggressively target eight of Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees in the coming weeks and are pushing to stretch their confirmation votes into March — an unprecedented break with Senate tradition.Such delays would upend Republican hopes of quickly holding...

Citing “overwhelming demand,” rock and roll musician Kid Rock recently started selling Donald Trump-themed apparel. One of three T-shirts tied to the president-elect depicts a post-election map with Republican states labeled “United States of America” and Democratic states labeled “Dumbf—istan.” Another features the words “God, Guns & Trump.” The third includes an image of Trump along with a crude message directed at his opponents. The hat, which is a spinoff of Trump’s signature “Make America Great Again” cap, reads “Make America Badass Again.” The items are available through Kid Rock’s online store. (Warning: Some items feature vulgar language.) Related VideoBoone...

"I have no interest whatsoever in dressing Melania Trump"  Fashion functions as a reflection of the times that we live in, which is why it should come as no surprise that sartorial choices can be extremely political. Michelle Obama’s embrace of young American designers of color like Tracy Reese and Jason Wu during her two terms as First Lady or Melania Trump’s choice to wear a dress to the RNC by Roksanda Ilincic, viewed as a nod to how Ilincic’s Serbian background paralleled Melania’s own Slovenian upbringing. (Obama has also supported the popular designer.) A style decision at momentous...

November 27 Trump Won, but We're Not Done! By Lloyd Marcus Among eating Turkey, passing out, and eating more turkey, plus pumpkin cheesecake (a dollop of whipped cream on top), I caught the news on TV. It seemed the lead story of every broadcast was that Trump is an uncouth, two-faced SOB. The incredulous mainstream media is going to bombard us for the next four years, spinning every news story to further the left's despicable lie that stupid racist whites elected America's version of Hitler. The left has already begun doubling down on its efforts to demonize conservatism and block...

Industry insiders share their Nov. 8 plans as comedy legend Carl Reiner preps a Trump pinata and Ben Silverman welcomes all to his home but doesn't expect "many public Trump supporters." ...Should Trump defy the polls and prevail, Lost City of Z director James Gray says, “I won’t recognize our country anymore if it wants a scumbag white nationalist to be its president. You can quote me on that: I hate that guy.” Ali Wentworth would rather go down under with husband George Stephanopoulos: “If Trump wins, we’ll start looking at real estate in Sydney, Australia. No crime, no guns."...

If the left is good at anything, it’s lying. How else could the party of the Ku Klux Klan come to be the party of Black Lives Matter? As Dinesh D’Souza shows us in Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party, the left is talking out of both sides of their mouth. D’Souza’s first example comes from none other than Hillary Clinton herself. In November 2014, shortly after Barack Obama signed an executive order limiting law enforcement from enforcing immigration laws, she attempted to defend him during her speech at New York City’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel.“We should all...

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper tried his damnedest to railroad Trump the other night during the debates over the recent 2005 tape where Trump made inappropriate comments towards women. Cooper has been rather vocal in his disgust, blasting Trump for objectifying women. Yet in an ironic twist, every single person that has come out to smear Trump has some video audio, or photographic skeleton hidden in their not so-private-closet. And unfortunately for Cooper, he has quite a little scandal of his own, and in the video below you’ll see his startling hypocrisy unfold.

The proof of the war being waged by the Democratic Party on people of faith or, as President Obama once put it, “less than loving Christians”, is found in the latest batch of emails released by Wikileaks. The party that rails against Islamophobia and preaches tolerance toward Muslims is revealed to have an unremitting hostility towards and disdain for Catholics, evangelicals, and any who worship a God other than government: Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri and Center for American Progress fellow John Halpin mocked conservative Catholicism as an "amazing bastardization of the faith" in new...

Yesterday the Clinton Family Crime machine and their myriad of cronies in the press starting with the Washington Post released a video tape of Donald Trump making sexual comments about a woman 11 years ago in an effort to damage the Trump campaign. “The video captures Trump talking with Billy Bush, then of “Access Hollywood,” on a bus with the show’s name written across the side. They were arriving on the set of “Days of Our Lives” to tape a segment about Trump’s cameo on the soap opera.” The Los Angeles Times reported that hours after audio was released of...

Reading "A Declaration by American Evangelicals Concerning Donald Trump" reminded me of the truth that what a document doesn't say is often as important as what it does.A survey of the initial signers reveals that its most famous signers have long been on the Progressive wing of American Protestantism: Tony Campolo, Rich Cizik, Claiborne, Wes Granberg-Michaelson, Rachel Held Evans, Jo Anne Lyon, McLaren, David Neff, Ron Sider (of Evangelicals for Social Action), and Jim Wallis (of Sojourners). A more candid title would have been "A Declaration by American Progressive Evangelicals Concerning Donald Trump."The letter's specific objections to Trump begin in...

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Actor Jamie Foxx has met with President Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela. Foxx, who won the Oscar Award for "Ray" in 2004, visited Maduro in the presidential palace in Caracas. State media said Foxx was there to support the country's socialist revolution...

Rachel Dolezal was publicly disgraced for claiming that she identified as black amid accusations she had long tried to pass herself off as African-American. Now, she is actively being asked to represent black culture. Dolezal was invited to attend the Braid On Economic Liberty March & Rally in Dallas led by natural hair stylist and activist Isis Brantleyî©¥. The rally is branded as an event to encourage black women's hair care and empowerment. In 2015, Dolezal resigned as president of the Spokane, Washington, chapter of the NAACP after her parents informed local NBC affiliate KHQ-TV in Spokane that Dolezal is...

A man from Manchester in the United Kingdom has been sentenced to 180 hours unpaid work and a 12-month community order after posting comments that were said to be “grossly offensive” towards Muslims. Stephen Bennett, 39, reportedly took to the Greater Manchester Police’s Facebook page to post comments “concerning an Asian woman” as well as another which was “likely to be offensive to Muslims”. While the Greater Manchester Police refused to disclose the details of the case to Breitbart London, he is said to have also written: “Don’t come over to this country and treat it like your own. Britain...

One North Carolina congressman has some words for the National Basketball Association. Rep. Robert Pittenger wrote NBA commissioner Adam Silver a letter regarding the NBA’s decision to move the 2017 All-Star basketball game from Charlotte. The relocation was attributed to North Carolina’s House Bill 2, widely known as the bathroom law...

Whenever a situation happens where the blame can be laid at the feet of the Republcians we are constantly told "It's your fault, your actions made them respond this way." For example, Trumps "incendiary" speech causing more people to join ISIS or our actions in the Middle East causing the 9/11 attacks. Information that the Muslim that killed 50 people in a gay nightclub was a closet gay man whose pent up feelings of self loathing drove him to kill when he saw two men kissing. Given the standard set by the Left (your actions made them respond this way),...

Proponents of more gun control for American citizens are frequently people who live their lives surrounded by good guys with guns. Moreover, gun control proponents are also people who use tragedies as an opportunity to push more gun laws even when said laws would have done nothing to prevent the tragedy that occurred. Occasionally, all these hypocritical qualities are found in one person or, in this case, seven people.

Bernie Sanders (champion of the "downtrodden", the climate, wannabe punisher of the successful and "free stuff" Santa Claus) charted a Boeing 767 jet for his overnight trip to Rome to see fellow socialist Pope Francis. According to the Daily Mail... that requires approx 33,192 gallons of fuel for the round trip. 50 or so passengers made the trip with Bern (767 capacity is 250 or so). Comparison to me: calculations of driving patterns based on my two vehicles (one a dreaded eeeveel SUV!), my wife and I "Bern" about 25 gallons of fuel a week. Based on our total fuel...
