The anonymous tip came in at 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 6. There it sat for almost 24 hours, until Rob Shimshock, a 22-year-old reporter for the Daily Caller in Washington, found it in the site’s generic inbox, an electronic slush pile. The unsigned email contained links to a few tweets, as well as to the biographical page of an untenured history lecturer at California State University, Fresno—Lars Maischak. The author was obscure, but the tweets were explosive. On February 17, Maischak had posted on Twitter about the new president: “To save American democracy, Trump must hang. The sooner and...

Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland will be the keynote speaker at an upcoming event organized by a group called Duty to Warn. Duty to Warn has called for President Trump’s removal from office under the 25th Amendment on the grounds that he is not psychologically fit to serve. From the Hill: Raskin is expected to discuss legislation he introduced earlier this year to establish an Oversight Commission on Presidential Capacity that can determine if the president is incapacitated. His bill currently has 31 co-sponsors, all of whom are Democrats. Under the Constitution’s 25th Amendment, the vice president and a majority...

Hillary Clinton — the same Hillary Clinton who spent her campaign months talking up the dangers of “dark money” in politics — was just outed for moving about $800,000 of the cash stashed for her presidential run to ANTIFA groups. Pardon, Ms. Clinton, the bluntness of the question. But isn’t that “dark money?” Apparently, Clinton’s been busy using her “Onward Together” Super-PAC dough to back resistance movements around the United States. The Gateway Pundit has more: In building investigations, Daily Caller first discovered that Hillary transferred a mass sum of money from her campaign over to Onward Together: Clinton transferred...

A group serving as a central hub of information for congressional town halls was founded by a former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer and its parent company is located at the same address as an organization funded by liberal billionaire George Soros. Democrats have insisted that recent town hall outbursts against Republican politicians occurred organically, likening them to the Tea Party, while President Donald Trump yesterday tweeted that the "so-called angry crowds in home districts of some Republicans are actually, in numerous occasions, planned out by liberal activists. Sad!" The Town Hall Project, a group that serves as a one-stop shop...

Clooney, Obama and other members of the ‘CUTE Society’ seem to get off on being recognized as “CUTE!” From the News You Didn’t Need To Know About Category: According to the Hollywood Reporter, George Clooney and ex-president Barack Obama “spend time together and exchange what the actor called “racy” texts. FoxNews, which picked the story up, Reporter gets it wrong right from the get-go: Fox’s first sentence: “President Barack Obama is making friends with the rich and famous during his retirement.” (FoxNews, Sept. 8, 2017)

The quiet resistance — the one without black masks and clubs — is the more revolutionary force, and it transcends race, class, and gender. After the election of Donald Trump, there arose a self-described “Resistance.” It apparently posed as a decentralized network of progressive activist groups dedicated to derailing the newly elected Trump administration. Democrats and progressives borrowed their brand name from World War II French partisans. In rather psychodramatic fashion, they envisioned their heroic role over the next four years as that of virtual French insurgents — coming down from the Maquis hills, perhaps to waylay Trump’s White House,...

It is high time to smoke out Private Citizen Resistance Leader Barack Obama from the bushes where he's been hiding since January 20, 2017 Just when it matters most, one brave soul is doing what Congress should have been doing all along: smoking ‘Resistance leader’ Barack Hussein Obama out of the bushes and bringing him into the clear view of the masses whose lives he risks ruining. While senators and congress critters from both sides of the aisle pretend it isn’t happening, Obama, the Private Citizen continues to do what Obama, the President was doing for eight long, uninterrupted years:...

So America elected Donald Trump as president and you thought it was finished with the likes of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, leftist billionaire George Soros and radical socialists hellbent on destroying the U.S.? Not so fast! The nation is now seeing an explosion of coordinated anti-Trump “resistance” in a fierce, multi-front war on President Trump and America. And a WND investigation has found many groups leading the “Trump resistance movement” have the fingerprints of Soros, Clinton and Obama all over them. The left has mobilized in a new surge of activism since Trump’s presidential campaign and election. “Resistance” groups –...

WANTED: bad actors to form a Rent-a-Mob.Wow, indeed. I’m so old I remember when you didn’t get paid to protest. You just showed up to show your support for the cause – like Trump’s supporters still do.The paid protestors in Phoenix were hard to spot, as they blended right in - with each other.Meanwhile, across the land, Progressives are reconsidering their position on free speech, as it no longer works exclusively for them. Professor Jennifer Delton’s piece takes us down the rabbit hole immediately as the article is titled, un-ironically, When ‘free speech’ becomes a political weapon. As WeirdDave at...

Leave fools’ paradise to the fools. If you are offered a choice between having your tuition and expenses paid at a top of the line business school, or buying with your own money Mario Puzo’s The Godfather (the book and the movies, Parts One and Two) choose the latter. You’ll find them far more useful than the MBA. Americans are frequently condemned for obliviousness to the lies and depredations of the people who rule them. Much of the condemnation is merited, but the obliviousness is also a vestige of a better time. The best gauge of a society is truth:...

As kids, we heard the stories of Cuban political prisoners. Our family dinner table was a classroom, with my parents telling us about communism or reading the latest letter from Cuba. I grew up admiring the men and women who risked their lives to fight for freedom. Among these men were Cardinal Mindszenty of Hungary, the heroes who tried to cross the Berlin Wall, the guerrillas who fought Castro in the Escambray Mountains in the forgotten war of the 1960s that Enrique Escinosa wrote about, and those who tried reforms inside the Soviet bloc. Back in August 1968, the Rascals...

I think it wise to remember that pure Evil is behind the Antifa (aka “Resist” - previously known as Occupy and God-only-knows what else) movement, as it is dedicated to making this country ungovernable (per the Cloward-Plivin plan). The Soros-backed Democrat terror group known as “Antifa” is leading what many are calling “The Resistance.”The idiotic, self-destructive fight against President Trump and his America First agenda.Their goal?To make America “ungovernable” for the president of the United States. Read the rest here. And while it’s easy to become demoralized by these well organized, idiotic thugs remember that they are not the...

A mass resignation letter addressed to President Trump is turning heads for more than the 16 people who said they quit. As some people pointed out online, the first letter of each paragraph from the Committee on the Arts and the Humanities spells out the word “RESIST.” Do you think they did this on purpose or is it just a coincidence?

Never before have we seen such a naked display of the progressive’s philosophy of “by any means necessary.” The Media/Deep State Complex has been in high gear since the presidential election of 2016, working to annihilate Trump and all the Deplorables that brought him to Washington. Joined by the Marxists amongst us they’ve become formidable.If their Alinsky inspired soft coup is ultimately successful and they manage to oust the duly elected President  the official progressive text will claim they had to destroy the president in order to save the presidency. Run by the tag team of a Deep State obstructionists,...

Failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has sent $800,000 from her campaign funds to her new political action group, Federal Election Commission filings show. Clinton announced her intent to be "part of the resistance" in May with the formation of Onward Together, a political action group that will fund a number of established "resistance" groups that can quickly counter President Trump with direct action and protests. The group is dedicated to "encouraging people to organize, get involved, and run for office" and advancing "progressive values and work to build a brighter future for generations to come," according to its mission...

A recent article in L’Osservatore Romano by an Italian priest who teaches biblical theology is yet another example of the way the present papacy seems to look at priests and bishops who do not join in lockstep with the pope. I’ve never heard of this priest, Giulio Cirignano, but, evidently, he has some standing with the present regime. The good father is clearly echoing an attitude that is prominent among the closest members of the papal entourage when he says: “The clergy is holding the people back, who instead should be accompanied in this extraordinary moment. . . .The main...

The weight of a heavy sentence landed in the quiet federal courtroom Wednesday morning, leaving Gregory Burleson occasionally stroking his graying beard and his attorney pleading unsuccessfully for leniency. The 53-year-old Burleson was the first to be sentenced for his role in the 2014 standoff between federal agents and supporters of Cliven Bundy near his Nevada ranch. He got 68 years in prison. U.S. District Court Judge Gloria Navarro did take into account his blindness and frailty – he sat in a wheelchair during the hearing – but she also reminded Burleson of his crimes, which included threatening a federal...

It’s now been six dizzying and nauseating months since Donald Trump took the oath of office, and the brightest spot on the American political landscape is the grassroots resistance that has sprung up to counter his regime. No previous president ever faced so many protests so early in his term, and the millions who have taken to the streets since January can already take significant credit for stalling and frustrating key aspects of Trump’s agenda, from his Muslim ban to his bid to repeal the Affordable Care Act. There are numerous qualities that distinguish this organizing upsurge from past waves...

Why is Obama getting away with a ‘12th of Never’ deadline on fundraising? Look out, America. The burning question of our day: When will Barack Obama have made enough money? When, for instance, will Obama turn off the money tap that is now pouring millions into the Obama Foundation? Not until the ‘12th of Never’, and as Johnny Mathis sings “and that’s a long, long time.”

MILWAUKEE, WI — Penzeys Spices CEO Bill Penzey, Jr. is learning firsthand how blasting President Donald Trump is good for his bottom line. On July 6, Penzeys Spices gave away free Mexican Vanilla Extract (with free shipping) in honor of Trump's dubious comments made in reference to Mexican immigration and his continued desire to build a definitive border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. As Penzey learned, in just one day, his saw more orders placed than in the first 17 days of July last year combined. A 1,600 percent jump in sales caused such a stir, they had to...
