Donald Trump is teaching America how to be great again. He is also giving lessons on how to stand up for ourselves and not be worried about what self-appointed “experts” have to say. In this last week of 2015, when so many silly “year- end” lists are being posted by a media “just exhausted” from attacking Trump, a list of the times the fake “experts” were wrong about Trump is in order. They KNEW these events would end Trump’s candidacy and were wrong each time. In June, when Trump announced his candidacy, he was mocked with backhanded praised when they...

The left has long depicted the typical Republican as a white, racist, misogynist male with a big bank balance and a small brain. This is a caricature, of course, but the current election cycle has produced an ostensible GOP presidential candidate who personifies the parody so closely that he may as well have been constructed in a laboratory by the Democratic National Committee. Donald Trump is the cartoon Republican that Hillary Clinton and her media lackeys want to run against in 2016 and they are working hard to assure that his florid, frowning visage becomes the face of the GOP....

The dabate continues: do we stick to our principles, or do we run to the middle? Since Romney’s shocking defeat, this debate has taken on a new sense of urgency, with the thinking that if Obama was reelected, even Hillary can win this thing?!? Nobody changed teams, obviously…. The moderates remained moderates, and are “now more then ever”, energized to crush the right wing, that “cost us” an important election…. The conservatives, are equally incredulous, and fear a do-over with another moderate, will net us exactly the same results as last time…. THIS DABATE ACTUALLY SEEMS TO BE, BETWEEN REASON...

I often wondered if progressives around me live in an alternate reality. How else can people so fat claim poverty and oppression when citizens of other countries live on less than $2 a day and are so thin, you can count their ribs through their skin? What causes this obvious delusion? There are quick answers - mental illness, mass hysteria, abundance, lack of jobs, lack of a moral compass, disintegration of families, the MSM telling them constantly that they are oppressed and enslaved to the “evil” white male, too much drug use, and indoctrination in schools to the detriment of...

... In December, we never left Washington, D.C., until the day after Christmas. Never. Mr. Bush and his wife, Laura, would always depart the White House a few days before the holiday and hunker down at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland. After a few years, I asked a low-level White House staffer why. I still remember what she said: "So all of us can be with our families on Christmas." ... By the way, some years, I got holiday duty, which meant I was off to Waco, Texas, the day after Christmas. But once again, the Bush White...

Bill Clinton, not the Republican front-runner, is being used as an ISIS recruitment tool The fabricated on-air debate claim of Hillary Clinton that Islamic State is showing videos of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump “to recruit more radical jihadists” has gone largely unchallenged in the mainstream media. In fact it is the Benghazi bungler’s husband, not Trump, who is featured in an Islamic State (a.k.a. ISIS, ISIL, and Daesh) recruiting video in which he is labeled a “fornicator” for his many sexual improprieties. “No Respite,” a four-minute video published online by Islamic State in November, shows images of Bill Clinton, along...

Media Bias: Fitzgibbon Media, a left-wing public relations giant, shut down suddenly Friday in a huge sex-harassment scandal. The press is strangely silent, which wouldn't be the case if this progressive firm was on the right. Remember the War On Women? That was the campaign pitch used in recent elections to smear conservatives as ogres. It was a phrase used by FitzGibbon Media, a left-wing PR firm, as its operatives hounded GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney into a campaign flap over his inept turn of phrase, "binders of women," on female hiring. Radio host Rush Limbaugh also was caught in...

Five years ago, Adrianna Vorderbruggen was forced to keep her relationship with another woman secret. Only after the repeal of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in 2011 could Maj. Vorderbruggen, an Air Force officer, even acknowledge her identity as a lesbian, let alone marry her partner and raise a child with her. For advocates of gay rights in the military, she provided "a perfect narrative" of what it took to quietly endure and ultimately overcome discrimination in the ranks. She showed, said Kate Kendell, the executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, "what was required to...

Donald J. Trump is still coming under fire from Hillary Clinton's campaign and the media, including National Public Radio (NPR), for using the term "schlonged" to describe her defeat in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary.

Last week I posted on a POLITICO story in which Marco Rubio’s senior advisors were reported as crowing about how they were going to depict Ted Cruz as a “craven insider who lacks authenticity.” The first step in that attack was Cruz’s position on the Gang of Eight amnesty bill pushed by Marco Rubio. This has been argued to the point of exhaustion and I’m not going to revisit it other than to say that the media seem convinced that they carried the day for Rubio and GOP voters disagree with that assessment. Now we see another planted attack in...

CNN's Don Lemon abruptly ended an interview with conservative commentator Kurt Schlichter.... ....Schlichter insisted he couldn't care less about the outrage surrounding Trump's comment. "Don, it's gonna take a lot more for me to get upset at a woman who enabled a guy who turned the Oval Office into a frat house and his intern into a humidor," Schlichter said referring to President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. "You know, I just don't care. I so don't care. I would need Stephen Hawking to find the theoretical limit of how little I care about Donald Trump's silly jokes."

[Hussein] Obama went golfing in Hawaii...then made what ABC News describes as a 40-foot chip shot....The press rewarded Obama with cheers.

Press Yawns As Univ. of Louisville Advertises Asst. Prof Position For Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans Only [ Full title ]. the University of Louisville placed an ad for a "tenure-track Assistant Professor position" which specified the racial/ethnic makeup of who would be considered eligible. It was removed after appearing for almost two months. ...

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump slammed the fact-checking organization PolitiFact on Tuesday, calling the site "bad news." PolitiFact, which has won a Pulitzer Prize for its 2008 election coverage, delved into Trump's various misstatements on Monday, when they awarded him "Lie of the Year." "It's the trope on Trump: He's authentic, a straight-talker, less scripted than traditional politicians," PolitiFact wrote. "That's because Donald Trump doesn't let facts slow him down. Bending the truth or being unhampered by accuracy is a strategy he has followed for years."

We have recently noted exactly why Donald Trump asks the media to pan the crowd, and the ideological reasoning the MSM production staff refuse to comply... Any average hard-working American could crush every one of the GOPe candidates, yes all of them. And if the GOPe want to go down the intellectual superiority path… well, you reach a point where that stuff becomes useless... We are 21 Trillion steps down that path, right at THAT POINT... Yet for the better part of the past decade a group of intellectual something-or-others have been teaching an insufferable storyline that it’s better to...

Poor Barack Obama. Americans don't appreciate his wisdom, and those nasty Republicans are picking on him again. Woe is the leader of the free world. That was the essence of his private meeting with friendly journalists, where the president gave his water-carriers talking points so he could jet off to Hawaii and still look as if he's engaged in ­national security.

s part of his effort to turn things around after his recent pathetic speeches on fighting terrorism, the president met with columnists from multiple outlets. The ground rules said no one could quote him directly — but one of his claims is appalling even when paraphrased. Obama, the Times reported online, “indicated that he did not see enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and made clear that he plans to step up his public arguments. Republicans were telling Americans that he is not doing anything when he is doing a...

December 19, 2015Why Donald Trump Says: "Pan The Crowds" by sundance There are many people prone to concern whenever the “corporate media”, “professional political class” or “Park Row” attack their preferred candidate. By allowing the MSM to generate your anxiety you are essentially allowing them to “gaslight”, and to succeed.Most people don’t recognize they are victims of Stockholm Syndrome and/or Gaslighting when it occurs; it is such a frequent state of affairs it just seems like a normal disposition – It is not. Politics are downstream from popular culture.In part, the elimination of corporate media influence is one of the...

Under rule by oligarchical collectivists, the progressive future is certain; it is the past that keeps changing. For example, on Thursday night Obama had said that the reason he didn't appreciate that people were upset by the Muslim atrocity in San Bernardino is that he hadn't been watching enough cable TV. But within a few hours, he had no longer said it:
