The local “expert” political analyst and his editorial board must be apoplectic. This was NOT the way this first “independent” poll was supposed to turn out. The media and every Democrat leader in the 11th New York Congressional District hate Republican incumbent Michael Grimm with a burning passion; yet there it is, Grimm is ahead by 4 points. Grimm, the guy who is under a twenty count federal indictment for everything from tax evasion to jaywalking is up by 4 points in a Siena College poll – no less! Grimm, who was videoed threatening to throw a NY1 television reporter...

Throughout his career, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky) has built upon his reputation as an independent maverick who is willing to buck party leadership or dogma to advance his goals for America. For conservatives dubious of the feckless GOP beltway bunch, this has been a refreshing change and helped the Kentucky Senator establish himself as a true contender for the 2016 Presidential nomination. While this trait is without doubt a positive one, Rand Paul's criticism of Republican's efforts to establish voter ID laws in various states is the wrong issue to tackle and counterproductive to the overall goals of increasing genuine...

No one can be certain if the amnesty fever that gripped the Republican establishment has passed, or if the conspirators are just laying low and waiting for their next chance to stab us in the back. What is clear is that during the height of their self-induced mental paralysis over amnesty, Republicans in the Senate lined up to kiss the ring of Hispanics when they confirmed Julian Castro as the new Housing and Urban Development Secretary (HUD). They struck us last July 9th and now America has another vicious enemy in Barack Obama’s Cabinet. Castro has jumped from being the...

Sometimes the good guys do win and beat the devils in the end. Sometimes if you are right, you know you are right and you don’t give up, your dreams do come true. Late Tuesday afternoon the Mississippi State Supreme Court agreed to consider the mountain of evidence State Senator Chris McDaniel has put together to prove his allegations of voter fraud committed by Republican United States Senator Thad Cochran and several members of his staff. The case revolves around a contest to secure the Republican nomination to run for the US Senate from Mississippi. The history of this case...

From hurling the vilest of racial epithets at African American children and teens who had volunteered for the Port St Lucie, Florida re-election campaign of Mayor Joann Faiella, to smear attacks on a patriot and Viet Nam War Commander, the behavior of people who disagree with what these candidates exemplify has reached lows that I never witnessed even while living in the Chicago metropolitan and suburban scenes for 40 years. Yes, I’ve been retired here in Florida for over ten years. But knowing the Midwestern mind set I believe in my heart that no such meanness would find its way...

The events unfolding in Ferguson, Missouri, represent why every single black American should, without equivocation, reject the big government view of America. Without doubt, the savior of the African American community will not be any government, neither local nor state nor federal, nor will that savior be anyone within that particular government who shares our pigmentation. In truth, big government is the primary cause of the psychological scars and emotional pain so deeply rooted within the African American community today. History is clear on this point. It was big government that allowed slavery to exist in this nation until we...

oe Miller has shown he is the only true conservative in the Alaska United States Senate Republican primary. His opponents are beholden to exactly the people who have brought us the mess we are in; and either one would only make things worse. He can be supported at Joeforliberty.com The primary is August 26, 2014. When the Alaska Family Action debate moderator asked the right questions, Joe Miller had the right answers and his opponents in the Republican U.S. Senate primary did not. Those are the simple facts. On Illegal aliens pouring into our country, Miller explained he is against...

Much to the surprise of those who understand the decline of journalism in our country, in a discussion of how the recent House votes on handling illegal aliens would impact Republican electoral chances, the New York Times actually told the truth. After explaining how the Hispanic vote is distributed in such a way that it will have no influence on any of this year’s contested U.S. Senate races except possibly in Colorado, the Times observed that “Hispanic voters will have even less influence over the composition of the House, which is all but assured to remain in Republican hands. The...

Dear “Conservatives” and “Establishment Republicans,” I write today in the hope you all can get over whatever anger, distrust or bruised egos this primary season and political year has caused you. We on the right need to unite and send a message to progressives by unambiguously retaking the U.S. Senate in November. We all have some problem with what’s happened so far. Someone we liked lost a primary. Someone we didn’t won. Some piece of legislation we hate passed; some other piece we liked did not. No one is completely happy, but we all know things can get much worse...

(English-language translation) The Puerto Rico Republican Party (PRPR) announced on Wednesday that it supports the "Puerto Rico Chose Statehood" march and urged all statehood supporters to participate this Sunday, July 27. "I urge all Republican supporters of statehood and all of those who believe in equality to march and send a forceful message of support for Puerto Rico statehood," PRPR National Committeewoman Zoraida Fonalledas said in a press release. "We firmly demand that the democratic will expressed at the polls in November 2012 in favor of statehood be fulfilled. We proudly honor the legacy of our patriots [José Celso] Barbosa,...

Mark Begich is the Democrat Senator from Alaska because the Democrats smeared the good name and reputation of Ted Stevens, the Republican who held the seat until 2008. Stevens was savaged by the Democrat controlled media and criminally charged with being corrupt. Although he was pretty much cleared before the election, the people of Alaska decided “better safe than sorry.” In Begich they got worse not better and plenty to be sorry about. Begich delivered not for Alaskans but for Barack Obama and Harry Reid when he joined in the sneaky Christmas Eve passage of a bill the Senate Democrats...

Why would an honest polling company ask Chris McDaniel’s supporters if they favored a second Civil War and if so, which side they would support? These are the questions one has to ask after reading Public Policy Polling’s (PPP) report on its survey of Mississippi voters on the U.S. Senate race between incumbent Republican Thad Cochran and Democrat challenger Travis Childers. What was the purpose of these questions? Who paid them to ask these questions and why? Public Policy Polling (PPP) is a Democrat polling firm based in Raleigh North Carolina. Thad Cochran’s team has strong connections to Democrats; some...

I don't think Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against President Obama right now, but I also don't think that considering the idea is "crazy talk." The man has, in my view and that of many others, committed multitudinous impeachable offenses, and we need to strenuously object and bring it to the public's attention every chance we get. The idea of turning our heads and looking the other way is repugnant. Yes, the elections are too close for Republicans to risk impeachment proceedings at this point, unless it became clear that the majority of Americans have the political will for that...

This is an open letter to Congressman John Boehner the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Mister Boehner where are you? How long can you hide and ignore the inexorable march toward the destruction of our country? Don’t you care about our safety sir? Isn’t this your country as well as our country? Our southern border has hit critical mass in its descent into chaos and de facto anarchy. Thousands of diseased illegal aliens, most of whom are children needing immediate twenty four hour care and attention, are pouring over our now erased border with Mexico. Many of the other...

In true Tokyo Rose fashion the Republican wing of Uniparty has sent Ann “Skeletor” Coulter on a psy-ops mission to try to save Thad Cochran one of their oldest and most reliable rubber stamps. Skeletor moans about Chris McDaniel’s supporters not being able to “think of anything but winning this one primary…” as if that is a bad thing. Being of the Republican wing of Uniparty she doesn’t give a damn about America – that’s not what her side is about – she only cares about seeing that those who stand in the way of big government are defeated. “Vote...

During his first inaugural address in 1981, President Ronald Reagan made the famous declaration when referring to the Democrats reliance on the federal government to solve the ills of the nation stating, "Government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem." While I hardly consider myself worthy to disagree with the Gipper, I do believe myself qualified to say what I feel was at the heart of this statement, although phrased as it was for the sake decorum of the moment and the national audience. Nearly all problems related to government as well as the overall decline...

True The Vote (TTV) a front line fighter for Americans’ voting rights has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court aimed at protecting the rights of American voters in Mississippi. The suit demands the Republican wing of Uniparty in Mississippi be immediately restrained from any “further tampering, redaction, or destruction of voter records by Defendants or their agents.” The filing continues with, “Defendant county commissioners have continued to violate federal law by preventing access to election records. Now, we think we know why. If the affidavits we now have regarding the destruction of election documents and other similarly stunning affidavits...

We tried. We really did try as hard as we could. Over the past 238 years we have poured out the lives of generations of our young men and women to defend our liberties. We have willingly sacrificed our treasure and our tears fighting to keep the wolves of tranny away from our door. But unless we change course now we will die on the battlefield of Good versus Evil. Today we find ourselves looking more like the patriots who were overwhelmed at The Alamo and crushed at Corregidor, than the brave signers of our Declaration of Independence. Try as...

If Washington Times editor Drew Johnson was alive and writing in 1781 he would undoubtedly have made as big a fool of himself while reporting on the progress of the original TEA party’s revolt against England as he did last week. Mr. Johnson is to be pitied because he clearly doesn’t understand the wisdom of the saying “It is better to be thought a fool and remain silent than to speak up and remove all doubt.” Last week poor addled Mr. Johnson removed all doubt about his competence with his obituary for the TEA party movement. He claimed it is...

Things have just turned very sour for the GOPe and Thad Cochran. Angered by the fact that Thad Cochran’s camp stiffed him after he helped them commit a massive voter fraud in the GOP primary, a Black Mississippi minister, the Reverend Stevie Fielder of the First Union Missionary Baptist Church, has come forward to admit his part in the crimes and he is naming names. Fielder says that acting in concert with Saleem Baird of the Cochran camp he agreed to pay $15.00 to Black Democrats who crossed over to vote for Cochran in last month’s runoff against Chris McDaniel....
