Obama takes his new dog "Roberts" out for a walkBarack Obama has decided to run for a third term (at least) as President of the United States. President Obama is beginning the process to amend the Constitution to allow him to run for a third term. WWN learned that the White House and President Obama’s campaign machine have a “foolproof” plan for the President to successfully achieve a third (and perhaps a fourth) term in office. At one time Obama planned to amend the Constitution: “President Obama only faces opposition in the House,” a White House insider told WWN....

The American public is told to ignore the “soldiers” of the Muslim group ISIS. We are not permitted to refer to them as terrorists even though they commit countless, unspeakable acts against Christian and Yazidi women in captured areas of Iraq. These sub humans claim to stay true to the literal interpretation of Islam and are unmoved by public opinion. The practice of giving away women captured in war and using them as sex slaves or prizes is called “sibya” and is endorsed by Mosques. The girls are awarded as prizes in a Koran Trivia contest in honor of the...

On my recent vacation to Meteor Crater and environs, I stopped at the rest areas along the way to check and see if the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) had done its job.  They needed to replace old signs that illegally banned guns in the rest areas.  When other travellers were available, I had them take my picture for use in this and future articles.   After the pretty young woman holding the child took my picture, I asked if I could take hers.   She was happy to pose for me.  Here is the picture she took of me at...

Friday, June 26, 2015 Be the Best Saboteur You Can Be Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog 1. There is no conservative party Governor Haley and Al Sharpton There is a Republican Party. The purpose of the party and its politicians, much like that of its Democratic counterpart, is to obtain money and privileges for its major donors.  That doesn't mean that its members don't have other ideals and agendas, but Republican politicians who rise high enough come from an urban and suburban establishment that is more liberal than its base. Expecting them to care as much...

The best argument for gay marriage so far:Once you’re out of the shadows, nobody can touch you.And in case you missed it last night, allow me to repeat this brilliant assignment from Sr. Agnes’ 10th grade typing class - These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict,...

On June 26, the Huffington Post ran a column focused on how Australian comedian Jim Jefferies “shoots down [the] 2nd Amendment with humor.” A central component of this “humor” is to equate gun rights with slavery and talk about how a constitutional amendment—like the one that banned slavery—could be used to overturn the protections the Second Amendment affords to the rights of self-defense and bearing arms. After all, Jefferies makes clear that he does not believe guns are actually used for protection. And he tells an anecdotal story to explain why: I had a break in in Manchester, England where...

The Dutch city of Utrecht is planning on experimenting with socialism to test its value and results. The Independent reports that the city has teamed up with University College Utrecht to observe “if a system of welfare without requirements will be successful.” The concept of basic income “is a universal, unconditional form of payment to individuals, which covers their living costs.” The basic income is supposed to help free up people schedules and work hours to provide more time to volunteer in the community, study at university, and care for others. …

First, let us call this event for what it is: SCOTUS ruled that same-sex marriage is to be imposed upon all 50 states. A 5-to-4 majority of unelected judges with lifetime tenure standardized a law throughout the nation -- and in the process, over-ruled state laws that were enacted by referenda and elected representatives across the country. The effect was to close the debate for all time, making it so it is no longer subject to revision and review. I think you can figure where I’m coming from on this by now. I do not share the views with those...

Don’t ban the Confederate flag, instead they need to ban that blasphemous and demonic homosexual flag, that desecrates and mocks the beautiful image of the rainbow that signifies the covenant that God made with man never to flood the world again. Numerous states are now banning the Confederate flag. The Supreme Court, last week, ruled that states can ban the Confederate Flag. Now the governor of Virginia is saying that now is the time for license plates to no longer have the Confederate flag. Alabama removed the flag from its capital. Hilary Clinton just said that the flag “shouldn’t fly...

Welcome to the exciting new world of the slippery slope. With the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling this Friday legalizing same sex marriage in all 50 states, social liberalism has achieved one of its central goals. A right seemingly unthinkable two decades ago has now been broadly applied to a whole new class of citizens. Following on the rejection of interracial marriage bans in the 20th Century, the Supreme Court decision clearly shows that marriage should be a broadly applicable right—one that forces the government to recognize, as Friday’s decision said, a private couple’s “love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family.”

Democrats are almost universally praising the Supreme Court's 5-4 opinion imposing gay marriage on all 50 states. Have these Democrats always felt this way? You know they haven't -- but check out the flip-flops.

This didn’t take long, did it? Faster than one can say “slippery slope,” quicker than the echoes of Chief Justice John Roberts’ warnings on the subject could dissipate, Politico Magazine published a rather lengthy appeal to the leaders of social liberalism to use the Obergefell decision to push for a constitutionally-recognized right for plural marriage. At least Frederick deBoer eschews the phrase the right side of history. He does conclude, however, that “it’s time,” so consider it implicit, like the constitutional right for same-sex marriage in the 14th Amendment: Most dispiriting, and least convincing, are those arguments that simply reconstitute...

In 1991, Professor Bill Eskridge published a landmark empirical study showing that Congress frequently overrode the Supreme Court’s statutory interpretation decisions. Eskridge’s findings, which surprised almost everyone at the time, support the now well-accepted conclusion that the Court and Congress are in constant dialogue with each other, meaning that neither institution can claim the last word on statutory meaning. Then, in 2013, Professor Richard Hasen updated Eskridge’s study and found that over the last two decades “the number of Congressional overrides has fallen off a cliff.” Hasen’s study revealed that between 2001-12, Congress managed to override only 2.8 cases per...

A large pro-legalization group ranks Paul above all Democratic candidates.Sen. Rand Paul bested his rivals for the White House in a candidate report card issued Friday by the Marijuana Policy Project, one of the largest organizations pushing to regulate the drug like alcohol. The group gave the Kentucky Republican an A- in recognition of his efforts to overhaul federal drug laws and his support of states’ right to legalize marijuana. Second place – a B+ – went to former Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., who has not officially announced a bid, and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, a former Republican seeking...

Writing in the Conversation, Sara B. Pritchard, an Associate Professor of Science & Technology Studies at Cornell University, writes about the pervasiveness of "gender bias" that she claims is harming female professors in the United States. "Now that most colleges and universities have completed their spring semesters, course instructors are opening up sealed manila envelopes, all over the country, to read their teaching evaluations," she begins her article, titled, "Should female faculty get bonus points to correct for gender bias in student evaluations?" She continues, "And, like each year, what they’ll find has been pervasively slanted by gender bias." According...

Mark Levin: Hey America! In the demoralizing despair all but overwhelming America with word that the Supreme Court has legalized same sex marriage, one clarion cry is calling out:“Hey America!” The voice belongs to talk show radio giant Mark Levin, and it is sending a clear message straight to America’s heart. Levin is urging Americans: ‘Don’t give up!” “Don’t ever give up!” Yesterday it was “the British are coming!” “Today it’s “the progressives are coming with whom we thought we voted in at midterms as the Opposition on their side!” The toughest day has come at the end of the...

Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, a black Muslim nationalist group, is calling for war. A race war, because to Farrakhan, like all in the Race Industry, everything is about race. Farrakhan made the call in a speech in Chicago, Barack Obama’s home, where he claimed that blacks have been oppressed for hundreds of years by whites. He called for reckoning because of the “iniquities of their fathers.” His rant focused on the shooting of the criminal thug, Michael Brown, as he attacked a white police officer with the intent to murder him. Farrakhan conveniently left out...

Coach is Right recently alerted its readers to the importance of the upcoming Supreme Court decision in King v Burwell, a case which would determine whether the Internal Revenue Service had the authority—on the orders of Barack Obama–to re-interpret the Affordable Care Act in a manner favorable to Obama and contrary to the clear language and intent of the Act as written by Congress. Though Obama and members of his Regime have already re-written the Act (contrary to the Constitution) on 31 separate occasions, it was hoped—certainly it was never more than a hope—that the Court would uphold the will...

Much of the case for Hillary is that, sure, she's dishonest and self-serving, but she's so smart! No. She's not. She's dumb Not that anyone ever believed she did, but it’s hilarious that Trey Gowdy’s House Select Committee on Benghazi was able to demonstrate so easily - just by questioning Hillary crony Sid Blumenthal - that there were at least 15 e-mails on Hillary’s private server that were quite work-related and most certainly not printed out and given to the State Department as Hillary claimed. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel at this point to keep making the case...

Justice Anthony Kennedy, as expected, was the deciding vote and wrote the majority opinion. No state now has the right to define what marriage is. Just coming in, but we know it’s a 5-4 ruling, and it’s not limited in scope. Gay marriage is now the law in all 50 states - not because state legislators or voters approved it; in fact, many did just the opposite - but because the Supreme Court has invented a new right every bit as blatantly as it did in Roe v. Wade. Justice Anthony Kennedy, as expected, was the deciding vote and wrote...
