INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A private college in Vice President Mike Pence's home state of Indiana is facing backlash after offering a "Trumpism & U.S. Democracy" course that described the president in class materials as a purveyor of "sexism, white supremacy, xenophobia, nationalism, nativism and imperialism." Now officials at Butler University in Indianapolis are doing damage control after conservative news outlets picked up on the description of the fall class, which also indicated students would discuss and "potentially engage" in "strategies for resistance" to President Donald Trump. "As a result of the recent media coverage, the University has been the recipient...

Hillary Clinton has decided she doesn’t have to run for president again to defeat Donald Trump. Barely six months after the 2016 Election came to a stunning conclusion, Clinton will reportedly launch Onward Together, a political advocacy group squarely focused on putting a stop to President Trump’s agenda. And, according to Politico, the group could be officially launching very soon. And if that name sounds familiar, that’s because it’s very close to Clinton’s former campaign slogan, “Stronger Together.” The group will reportedly pull on a team of longtime Clinton donors and advisors to help fund other groups and initiatives around...

America needs a Hillary PAC like it needed a Hillary presidency. But foreign donors are less interested in giving Clinton Foundation money now that Chelsea is the heir to the throne. Chelsea has all the charisma of a drunken poodle As a poor black Southern Yankees fan who came under sniper fire in Bosnia, would anyone expect any less from Hillary Clinton? Talking to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour at the Women for Women International Luncheon, she announced, “I’m now back to being an activist citizen and part of the resistance.”

Students at Indiana’s Butler University will soon learn “strategies for resistance” to oppose President Donald Trump. Students paying roughly $36,000 in tuition have signed up for a “Special Topics” class titled “Trumpism & U.S. Democracy.” The course, which begins in August and runs until December, explicitly charges the Republican with “perpetuating sexism, white supremacy, xenophobia, nationalism, nativism, and imperialism.” "This course explores why and how this happened, how Trump’s rhetoric is contrary to the foundation of the U.S. democracy, and what his win means for the future,” reads a description on Butler’s website, first reported Wednesday by The Heartland Institute....

(Skip) We all know the endless litany of events, from pussy hat parades to smashed windows and fires at our most famous public university to people marching through the streets of Philadelphia calling for the death of the president and his vice president, so I'm not going to bore you with them all. I am only going to ask the simple question: Why Trump? (Skip) I don't think we have a choice but to say the explanation is in the realm of human neurosis, not politics. And make that pretty severe neurosis, almost psychosis. Something about Trump's character and appearance...

“I can’t be anything other than who I am,” the former secretary of state said leading up to her “resistance” revelation. snip “I spent decades learning what it would take to move our country forward, including people who, you know, clearly didn’t vote for me,” she continued. “I’m now back to being an activist citizen and part of the resistance,” Clinton finished to thunderous applause.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), a frequent critic of President Trump, said he would be doing the United States "a favor" by resigning. "Trump confessed to Reuters that being President is more challenging than he anticipated. He should do himself & the country a favor & resign," Waters tweeted Monday evening. (TWEET-AT-LINK) Waters, 78, has repeatedly accused Trump of working in collusion with the Russians, and is not legitimately the president because Russian leader Vladimir Putin put his thumb on the electoral scales....

On April 15, a pro-Trump, pro-free-speech rally at University of California, Berkeley, descended into violent mayhem after radical far-leftists — members of the organization Antifa — began to attack the peacefully assembled crowd. Antifa, which stands for “anti-fascist action,” is a network of loosely affiliated far-left anarchist and communist groups that orchestrate violent protests and attacks on populists, conservatives, and anyone else its members deem to be “fascists” or “Nazis.” “Anyone who tries to hold any sort of right-wing event literally gets beat up by militant communists in the street.” Antifa was formed originally in Germany in the 1980s, its...

A group of leftist activists wearing pink pussy hats disrupted a Christian opening prayer at Rep. Jack Bergman’s (R-MI) Thursday evening town hall in Gaylord, Michigan, shouting, “Separation of church and state!” as other constituents stood with their heads bowed in respect. Dr. Derek Hagland, the assistant pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Michigan’s First District, had just taken the stage to recite an invocation when activists began chanting, “Separation of church and state!” to disrupt him: “This guy was giving invocation,” Rep. Bergman’s communication director Farahn Morgan told Breitbart News. “He was not necessarily party affiliated in any way....

The “Resistance” Democrats are a Terrorist Party The Democrats have committed to overthrowing our government. April 13, 2017 Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam. What does #Resistance really mean? It means the overthrow of our government. In this century, Democrats rejected the outcomes of two presidential elections won by Republicans. After Bush won, they settled for accusing him of being a thief, an idiot, a liar, a draft dodger and a mass murderer. They fantasized about his assassination and there was talk of impeachment. But elected officials...

The left's takedown of Bill O'Reilly was only partly the result of an organized campaign of destruction. Mr. O'Reilly, like Roger Ailes before him, became a victim of his own bad behavior. Fox News management made the decision to let O'Reilly go not because of the highly publicized settlements the network made with 5 women who accused the host of sexual harassment. The network decided to ax O'Reilly because there are apparently several other women who are deciding whether or not to press forward with similar suits. (Reports indicate that an internal investigation carried out by a third party...

On Saturday, protesters plan to gather in cities across the United States, and around the world, to demand that President Trump release his tax returns, in an early test of the strength and staying power of the grassroots movement that has mobilized in opposition to the new administration. The tax marches are expected to be the biggest political demonstration to take place since the Women’s March in January. But they’re not likely to match the record turnout of that event, which has been estimated to be the largest mass mobilization ever recorded in a single day in United States history....

A former colleague assesses one of the most dastardly Democrats of our time.In the course of the Trump wiretapping brouhaha and the Trump/Russian conspiracy claim, the face of one Congressman, Adam Schiff, seems to appear everywhere in the news. As the lead Democrat of the House Intelligence Committee, he has managed to attract a huge media following, who, not surprisingly, hang on every word he utters while never questioning any of his pronouncements. I happen to know him a little. When I served in the California State Assembly in the late ’90s, Schiff was a State Senator. He appeared to...

What does #Resistance really mean? It means the overthrow of our government. In this century, Democrats rejected the outcomes of two presidential elections won by Republicans. After Bush won, they settled for accusing him of being a thief, an idiot, a liar, a draft dodger and a mass murderer. They fantasized about his assassination and there was talk of impeachment. But elected officials gritted their teeth and tried to get things done. This time around it's "radically" different. The official position, from the Senate to the streets, is "Resistance." Leftist media outlets are feeding the faithful a fantasy that President...

A professor at a California university believes President Donald Trump should be hanged and other Republicans summarily executed. “To save American democracy, Trump must hang. The sooner and the higher, the better,” California State University at Fresno professor Lars Maischak tweeted in February. (TWEET-AT-LINK) The Daily Caller News Foundation first reported the existence of the mind-boggling tweets. Though the account isn’t verified by Twitter, its bio and its interactions indicate that Maischak is its owner. According to his professor profile on the university’s website, Maischak teaches American history with a focus on 19th century, including the intellectual history of socialist...

Harvard University students have started a school to resist Donald Trump. The school, aptly named 'Resistance School,' isn't an official part of the college, nor will it get anyone Ivy League credits. But it does promise to teach activists how to 'resist' the president in a four-week course. It says its goal is to 'effectively fight Trump's agenda.' 'Resistance School is a free four-week practical training program that will sharpen the tools we need to fight back at the federal, state, and local levels. Our goal is to keep the embers of resistance alive through concrete learning, community engagement, and...

In all its awfulness The funny thing is it’s not conservatives who destroyed this, even though it’s an obvious attempt to pander to young social justice warriors, cop-haters and Trump-haters. Conservatives don’t really do that. They’ll comment on how awful it is, but they won’t go to town with endless social media mockery and demand reprisals. You know perfectly well that’s the game of the left, and that’s what sunk this piece of garbage:

This is stunningly interesting and hopefully will be picked up by MSM and congressional investigators. Sometimes when a person is deep inside an echo-chamber of like-minded ideologues, they might not realize what they’re saying is rather revealing to those on the outside. That’s the set up for former Obama administration official Evelyn Farkas (Deputy Asst. Secretary of Defense) appearing on MSNBC and admitting first hand knowledge the Obama administration spied on candidate and president-elect Donald Trump’s transition team to gather “intelligence” for political use. It would appear Ms. Farkas was so caught up in the discussion, she didn’t quite realize...

Matryoshkas are Russian nesting dolls. Inside each doll are several others, smaller but identically shaped characters, until you get to the smallest one inside. Studying what we have learned of the timeline -- and we still don’t have the entire story -- we see Wikileaks, the smallest, at the core, and Obama as the largest piece in what is the most historically outrageous misuse of the people and institutions of government for partisan advantage.
