TRUMP 41% -- Hillary 41% DEAD HEAT Rasmussen's poll released today has Trump tied with Hillary ahead of the last debate tonight. 41% to 41%. There are a couple eye openers that should be a huge worry for the Hillary campaign; The older the voter is, the more likely he or she is to vote and to vote for Trump. The older the voter, the more they remember the "90"s and who the Clintons are. Plus younger voters are turned off by Hillary and thus less apt to even vote this year. Democrat candidates loses every time the young...

It’s not a new argument. What sensible person could support a Republican candidate for President with no foreign policy, economic or legislative experience? A candidate lacking the right background to keep the nation out of protracted wars or even nuclear confrontation. And the man is a mere entertainer to boot, known more for his television appearances than his policy positions! We all know, in hindsight, what a magnificent job was done by the last man they said these things about. Under President Reagan’s watch, Iran ended the hostage crisis without taking a payoff, the Cold War ceased without military confrontation,...

First lady Michelle Obama´s speech this week slamming Donald Trump´s comments about women was "the most effective political speech since Ronald Reagan," according to right-wing commentator Glenn Beck. On his TV program Friday, Beck said his viewers should watch Obama´s speech to see its "devastating effects. And I don´t mean on Donald Trump. I mean on the conservative movement." "We had been talking about, ´there is no war on women.´ You just handed them a war on women," Beck said. "And if you listen to her words carefully, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, they are coopting women and it...

Thou shall not kill would seem to be the most straightforward of Catholic teachings. New York state legalized abortion in 1970. Soon after, Catholics started leaving the Democratic Party for pro-life Republicans. Democrats could see the writing on the wall. They weren't happy. Society was changing. Roe v. Wade became the national law of the land in 1973. Democrats wanted in on the change and the church on their side as well. Democrats had toiled for years mining the ethnic Catholic vote. They didn't want to give up their mother lode. This moral migration of Catholics between the Democrats and...

...Trump called the trade agreement between Canada, Mexico and the United States “the single worst trade deal ever approved in this country” during the first presidential debate against Hillary Clinton. Earlier this year, Bernie Sanders leveled a similar criticism, calling it disastrous when debating the former secretary of date... ...But whether NAFTA has been good or bad for the U.S. economy depends largely on who you ask... ...NAFTA “means jobs. American jobs, and good-paying American jobs. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't support this agreement,” then-President Clinton said in 1993. Fast forward more than two decades later and NAFTA...

The era of the free lunch and the...

Barry Levine, a lawyer for 61-year-old John Hinckley Jr., told The Associated Press the date Thursday. In July, federal Judge Paul Friedman ruled Hinckley was no longer a danger to himself or others and could leave St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington to live with his mother full-time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbsIdQt3E0A The best clips of the 1980 Debate between Reagan and loser president Jimmah Cartah! I think this illustrates the differences between capitalism and socialism and shows that Reagan is not to blame for the problems of the 80s but inherited the problems from the left. I wish there were more documentaries on how terrible things were in this country before Reagan took office. Sick of know nothing millennials and Generation X'ers and commie baby boomers who know nothing of how bad things really were and nothing about how things work posting lies on Youtube and elsewhere!

Don’t mind Ronnie’s boot up your asses, boys… Excerpted from Politico Magzine: In the early morning hours of January 26, 1987, federal agents across Los Angeles charged into the homes of seven men and one woman and led them away in handcuffs. More than 100 law enforcement officers—city, state and federal—were involved. “War on Terrorism Hits LA,” read the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner. The defendants were all pro-Palestinian activists, but it wasn’t clear what they’d been arrested for. Soon the government conceded it would not introduce criminal charges, instead seeking to deport the group by alleging material support to a communist...
