It is the “state of the city’, not the “look” of the city that needs a good mayor’s attention. Landrieu is obviously too engrossed in his liberal subjectivism to garner this simple, but profound truth With a long heritage of Spanish, French and other influences New Orleans has a unique place in the history of the nation. With streets named Tchoupitoulas, Melpomene and Terpsichore, foods like the Po-Boy, muffulettas and café – ole and beignet’s, who would doubt that you are in an unusual city when you set foot in the famed - “Crescent City” On May 19, 2017 Mayor...

Because of course he was Earlier, I outlined how the pattern of events surrounding the Manchester terror attack are all too familiar. It seems as though every time something like this happens we run through the same, tired, playlist of denial, obfuscation, and then admission that, yes, an Islamic radical was involved. Then, eventually, we reach the final stage of the narrative meltdown. That’s the part where we learn that the attacker was already on the law enforcement radar.

President Trump is not fiendishly hated by the outside world, but only fiendishly hated by the Democrats and Mainstream media in his own country “F*** Donald Trump!” is where the Democrat Party has allowed itself to be buried. ‘“F*** Donald Trump!” Chant Leader’, outgoing California Democratic Party Chairman John Burton was not nearly so loud or vehement when he settled a $10 million sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Kathleen Driscoll, then the executive director of his charitable foundation for homeless children in 2008. Longer-lived and more haunting than any curse the Democrats could come up with, are the words left...

WHENEVER any serious discussion at this site turns toward documenting what lies in wait re Allah’s Muslim Terrorists and Islamic jihad, inevitably, ‘The Plan’ surfaces to the fore. Suffice to state, without internalizing its centrality, it is akin to piloting a plane with blinders on. That deadly and dark. Pitch black. THEREFORE, for readers who are unfamiliar with its basis, the following – conceived and designed by the Muslim Brotherhood Mafia – will catch everyone up to speed. As is known, there is NO time like the present. At its core, “The Plan” is a detailed blueprint, one which the...

I was reading this post on American Digest, "All boredom amused:" Rhyming History, Trump, and the Media as Foreseen in Network, 1976,” and wondered how the “Money Speech” might have been written A.D. (After Donald). It might have gone something like this: "You have meddled with the primary forces of nature, Mr. MAGA, and I won't have it! Is that clear?"You think you merely stopped HILLARY CLINTON’S PRESIDENCY AND PROTECTED YOUR PRECIOUS 2ND AMENDMENT. That is not the case. YOU have taken POWER AND CONTROL AWAY FROM YOUR BETTERS, DEMOCRAT PROGRESSIVES, and now YOU must put it back! It is...

Trump in Israel An education in Islamic terror. May 23, 2017 Daniel Greenfield When President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu met on the tarmac, they and their spouses chatted easily. The two conservative leaders have much in common. They are political insurgents who draw their support from a rougher working class overlooked and despised by leftist elites. The polls said that Netanyahu and Trump would lose their respective elections. Instead they won big. They prevailed despite accusations of bigotry, attacks by celebrities and a torrent of fake media scandals. The media decided that the big story of Trump’s arrival in...

Sunday, May 21, 2017 The Dem Savior With "Kennedyish" Features Posted by Daniel Greenfield The Democrats are in trouble. And the list of party saviors is as broad as it is laughable. There’s Bernie Sanders, who denies that he’s a Democrat, Elizabeth Warren, who might not even survive reelection in her own state, Keith Ellison, an Islamist who keeps lying about his past with Farrakhan, Howard Dean, currently denying the existence of the First Amendment, and Maxine Waters. You know you’re in trouble when your party is being represented on cable news by Maxine Waters. Desperate lefties had tried to...

And That’s The Way It Is…: Shortly after last night’s bombing of the Ariana Grande venue in Manchester, England, CBS reporter David Leavitt, who is such a “professional” fake journalist that he has often bragged about how he is a proud part of the “resistance” against President Donald Trump, sent out the following Tweet: “Multiple Confirmed Fatalities at Manchester Arena. The last time I listened to Ariana Grande I almost died too.” If you watch CBS to get your news, you are getting your news from a bunch of ghouls.

Hillary Clinton's inability to honestly assess her 2016 election loss is turning slightly comic. And she will be the last to know. She has fallen into a trap of her own devising, feigning an honest self-assessment in public. Salena Zito has emerged as one of the most tuned in journalists covering politics today. In an era of elitist journalists, Zito has an ear for the common folk of the de-industrializing Midwest. That is why she gained a degree of journalistic immortality more significant than a Pulitzer Prize for her election coverage of 2016, by summing up Donald Trump's relationship to...

CNN's Kate Bolduan starts yelling and pointing her finger in the face of a panelist who doubts the "anonymous sources" the mainstream media keeps citing about evidence Trump and the Russians working together to steal the 2016 Presidential Election. Media analyst Mark Dice has the story. Copyright © 2017

President Donald Trump’s budget proposal will limit eligibility for two tax credits, Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney told reporters on Monday, as the administration attempts to convince Congress to overhaul programs benefitting poorer Americans. According to documents released by the White House in advance of the full budget on Tuesday, Trump’s budget would limit eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit to recipients “who are authorized to work in the U.S.” The EITC is a benefit for people with low to moderate income, and the child tax credit similarly benefits low-income households....

“Are you now, or have you ever been, a supporter of Donald J. Trump?” It would be ominous if witnesses in congressional hearings had to endure this type of McCarthyite interrogation. But what do you call it when sportswriters demand that a professional athlete answer the same question? New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, for example, calls himself a “good friend” of the new president. Consequently, the football star faced journalists’ demands to “publicly disavow Trump’s actions,” as one USA Today columnist wrote. Brady, not wanting to detract from his team’s Super Bowl preparations, responded by claiming his “right to...

A collaboration of minority student groups at the University of Chicago, calling their alliance “UChicago United,” presented a list of nearly 50 demands to the university Friday which included the formation of distinct, racially-themed academic departments. The academic departments are to be university-funded and -run “cultural houses,” specifically a Black House, Latinx House and Asian House, which will stand independent of Multicultural Student Affairs and serve each specific racial community.

California is undertaking an ambitious bid to establish a single-payer health care system, and now its plan has a price tag: $400 billion a year. The state legislature has been debating a plan this year to implement a government insurance program to cover all Californians, including those without legal status. It’s a very generous proposal, as currently conceived. The state would pay for almost all of its residents’ medical expenses — inpatient, outpatient, emergency services, dental, vision, mental health, and nursing home care — under the plan, and Californians would not have any premiums, copays, or deductibles. Those sweeping benefits...

GotNews’ story on Deputy National Security Advisor Dina Powell’s leaking to the liberal media started a shouting match aboard Air Force One, multiple sources confirm.This is unsurprising given that Politico previously reported that GotNews articles are printed out and given to President Donald J. Trump to read in the Oval Office.One faction represented by ex-Goldman Sachs bankster Gary Cohn and Dina Powell are pinning the blame for our story on none other than Steve Bannon, the White House’s Chief Strategist.The fight was about GotNews’ exclusive scoop about Dina Powell’s leaks from the White House to The New York Times‘ Maggie Haberman. Powell has...

Away from the commotion of the ongoing attempt at a coup d'etat of the current President by being conducted by democrats and the left wing media, Donald Trump is getting things don and acting as the real leader of the free world. Upon his arrival in the Middle East, Trump shook hands with Saudi King Salman rather than bow and scrape as did barack obama. Despite the prediction that Trump would not be welcome in the Arab world, Trump received the rock star treatment. The great thing is that this is no barack obama apology for the US tour. This is...

Rudy Giuliani has worked with both Donald Trump and James Comey ... and if push comes to shove over who's telling the truth, Rudy's squarely in Trump's corner. The former NYC mayor arrived at LAX Sunday, and the photog grilled him hard ... grilled him about the alleged Comey memo, Lindsey Graham's statement the probe is now a criminal investigation, Trump's poll numbers ... the works. Giuliani didn't flinch ... he's as solid a Trump supporter as they come.

If establishment elites succeed in impeaching and removing President Trump, it will set a disastrous precedent for the nation. Whoever replaces Trump would be too intimidated to resist the steamrolling carnage of the “effete snobs.” In the late 1960s, Vice President Spiro Agnew used the phrase “effete snobs” to characterize establishment elites who considered themselves so superior that others should kowtow to their demands and opinions. Agnew was roundly criticized for this unfavorable description of the self-anointed powers inside the Beltway. On the other hand, Hillary Clinton was not criticized when she sarcastically dismissed Trump supporters, those residents of America’s...

Ahmed Mohamed and his "clock" The child exploited by CAIR and President Barack Hussein Obama to create the false impression that America is a seething hotbed of Muslim-hatred had his nonsensical religious discrimination lawsuit tossed by a federal judge in Dallas. I am referring to Ahmed Mohamed, the teenaged poster boy for “Islamophobia” whom the Council on American-Islamic Relations relentlessly pimped as a victim. In fact, Mohamed is a bomb hoaxer called Clock Boy by some.
