I agree with Starbucks’ plan to hire 10,000 refugees Starbucks recently announced that it will hire 10,000 refugees worldwide over the next five years.I agree with Starbucks.It is extremely important for refugees to be assimilated into their new home. Besides learning the language of their new home, obtaining a job is the most important part of this assimilation.Refugees – real refugees, that is – are fleeing from horrifying atrocities that most of us cannot comprehend.A real refugee is someone who is very much opposed to the policies of the country from which they fled. A real refugee does not try to...

In recent weeks, there has been a lot of talk about “vetting” people coming in from the Middle East. In fact, however, it’s a much broader issue than that: it’s a need to vet people who come into the USA from anywhere. While any risk can theoretically originate anywhere, statistically, each region has different primary risks. From some countries, it’s a human trafficking and prostitution risk; from others, it’s a drug trade and organized crime risk. But of course the one most in the news is the terrorism risk, which originates primarily in muslim-majority countries (like the middle east) and...

What happens when you bring a fight to a gun store When two men entered the Dixie Gun and Pawn at 11 am to rob the place, it's hard to tell what they were thinking. Were they aiming for a store next door? Did they really think they had a foolproof plan? Were they just bored and looking to spice up their lives? They tried to wave guns, and one man even tried to pull a second handgun, but they neglected the thought that maybe, just maybe, the store clerk at the Dixie GUN and pawn might also be carrying...

Apparently, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman has never heard of the Boston Marathon bombing, the shoe bomber, the underwear bomber, the D.C. snipers, etc. New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman recently tweeted the following question:https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/825212767498027009“Other than San Bernardino shootings, has there been a terrorist attack involving a non-US-born attacker since 9/11?” I usually say that asking questions is a good thing, because I am very much in favor of curiosity and learning.However, for a New York Times reporter to ask such a question in the year 2017 is actually a bad thing, not a good thing. For this person with...

YT comment "...With all the overblown 2016 election rhetoric it's instructive to watch Bill Clintion's 1995 State of the Union Address. Actually the Clintons and seemingly a bipartisan Congress all supported steps to stop the flow of illegal immigrants across the southern U.S.-Mexico border. Suddenly in 2016 it has become controversial as the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton decided she needed to stake out a position opposite of Donald Trump, now labeling the position as racist or unworkable. However, as this video shows, at one time there was bipartisan agreement on steps needed to enforce existing immigration law. What do you...

Liberal hypocrites never complained about how Obama’s Syrian refugee policy discriminated against Christians Liberals – justifiably so – have been complaining about how Trump wants to discriminate against Muslim immigrants.However, these same liberals were completely silent when Obama discriminated against Christian immigrants.Christians make up 10% of Syria’s population, and they are being specifically targeted by ISIS.However, on November 30, 2015, it was reported that during the previous two weeks (i.e., the two weeks immediately after Islamic terrorists murdered 130 people in Paris) of the 132 Syrian refugees that the Obama administration had admitted into the U.S., 100% of them were Muslim,...

It’s unclear how many people marched in the streets of Washington D.C. on Friday in support of life, but one time-lapse by Students for Life of America attempted to capture the magnitude of the march. In time-lapse videos posted to Facebook and Twitter, the organization was able to show exactly what mainstream media organizations failed to show: that hundreds of thousands of people were marching on Washington in support of life and against abortion.

In 2005, Terri Schiavo, a severely brain damaged woman was put to death for being what liberals considered a burden on the rest of society. Schiavo had become disabled, from severe cardiac arrhythmia and arrest resulting from Anorexia and Bulimia in 1990. Terri Schiavo was comatose and was in a minimum conscience state. Her prognosis was poor. Terri's husband Michael had decided that Schiavo had suffered long enough in her condition and wanted to end her life. As ad litem guardian, Michael Schiavo her husband wanted her feeding tube removed so that her life would end. Whether or not it...

Imagine terrorists using new technology to trick planes into crashing into buildings. It may sound like a Die Hard movie, but the premise, which involves “GPS spoofing,” troubles our nation’s intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Spoofing became a big deal when University of Texas professor Todd Humphreys accepted a challenge a few years ago from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to use this method to commandeer one of the agency’s drones via a GPS device. Much to their astonishment, he was successful. “It’s easiest to understand GPS spoofing by comparing it with GPS jamming,” Humphreys told the Observer. “Jamming...

As Donald J. Trump is inaugurated President of the United States and begins his first day in office, we have a message for him. This message comes not just from the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, but from harassed dissidents, persecuted activists, and prisoners of conscience across the world: Mr. President, please defend human rights in the face of communist oppression. Below, read about these five dissidents who exemplify this struggle for freedom and liberty.

Former porn star Jenna Jameson has attacked Bill Maher for criticizing President Trump over his infamous “grab them by the p****” remarks, claiming she saw Maher at the Playboy mansion and he “fits right in with us ‘p**** grabbers’”. For those of you who are unaware, Bill Maher likes to think he is a sanctimonious political analyst who actually makes no sense most of the time. It is not sure where his loyalty lies since he has praised Democrats but has also accepted some Republican values. But one thing is for certain: He detests President Trump. As Milo Yiannopoulos reported:...

""""Trump’s First Military Attack Backs CIA & DIA; Agents Said Obama Ignored Intel, Refused to Strike Critical ISIS Targets For Over a Year"""" President Barack Obama refused to strike high-ranking ISIS assets in Iraq and Syria for more than a year despite regular pleading from the CIA and DIA personnel to act on definitive intelligence, officials confirmed to True Pundit. Newly minted President Donald Trump, to the delight of defense analysts, gave new Defense Secretary James Mattis the green light to wage more than 30 attacks on these same ISIS targets on Saturday, according to intelligence insiders. What Obama had...

I'm a former CNN correspondent, and I could answer this question in much greater detail than you'd ever want to read, but I'll give you the short answer. CNN under Ted Turner (no journalist he, but he understood what he wanted CNN to be and what it needed to be) was a place where, when you first walked in the door, you were told "there are no stars here, only news." And the staff believed that. For me, after wandering in the wilderness of local TV news for years, it was a great feeling to join a group of folks...

Women’s march organizer Linda Sarsour says Saudi Arabia’s treatment of women “puts us to shame” Linda Sarsour organized the recent women’s march.Below is a screen capture of a tweet that she made, which says the following:“10 weeks of PAID maternity leave in Saudi Arabia. Yes PAID. And ur worrying about women driving. Puts us to shame.” And this woman is a role model for millions of U.S. women?In my opinion, that’s pretty scary.She also made this tweet, which says“shariah law is reasonable and once u read into the details it makes a lot of sense. People just know the basics”and this...

Huffington Post says it’s “Islamophobic” to say Linda Sarsour supports Sharia law, but doesn’t mention her tweets that support Sharia law The Gateway Pundit recently published this article about Linda Sarsour, who organized the recent women’s march against Donald Trump. The article states that Sarsour supports Sharia law, and as evidence, includes these two tweets: The Huffington Post responded by publishing this article, which says that the Gateway Pundit and other websites had“… deployed classic Islamophobic tactics in trying to discredit Sarsour, claiming… that she supports the spread of Sharia in the U.S….”Nowhere in that article does the Huffington Post actually...

Trump’s Lies Pale Before Those Of Obama According To Some Analysts There are some misguided fools in this country who will look you straight in the face and tell you that Donald Trump is a liar …. a chronic liar ….. but when the tacks are finally all posted to the bulletin board of reality I have to remind everyone who has the common sense to form a real thought rather than to parrot talking points that there is plenty of reason to be concerned about the same ( or a similar claim) about the now departed CEO of America …....

T'was the Night Before Inaugeration T'was the night before Inauguration, and up in the Tower, The Donald reflected on his newfound power. The conservative masses had come out in force, And delivered a victory that would chart a new course. The snowflakes were shell-shocked with tears in their eyes, The media lied to them . . . What a surprise. They had been promised a Hillary win, But the criminal Clinton took one on the chin. And though from all corners celebrities flew, They made no impression, for they hadn’t a clue. They talked about climate, racism, and such, And...
