I must admit I have enjoyed the Trump-a-palooza this summer. The truth is, I have thrown in the towel on America so I don’t think our elections mean very much. It’s just a question about how fast we intend to drive into the abyss. Being old I should be rooting for slow as that means I can reach escape velocity before it gets ugly. On the other hand, life is for living and sticking around long enough to see the collapse has its attractions. I can go either way so the elections are just entertainment at this point. Six months...

Time stood still in what I now remember as a pristine, open-air, chapel, where a congregation of two melded their souls with Mother Nature’s glory After serving in World War II, my father raised cotton on two hundred Mississippi Delta acres. The wealthy doctor who owned the land loaned him enough money to buy a tractor and a cultivator. Single-handedly and determined, he worked the land, made his first crop, and launched a 50-year farming career. When a much larger farm came up for sale, the doctor loaned Dad the money to buy it. I was ten years old, and...

Hubbard called the BlackLivesMatter protesters "trifling" and a "joke" saying they place more value on the lives of thugs and criminals than they do the lives of innocent victims and children murdered by black thugs and criminals A black mom posted a video on Facebook sharing her frustrations over the senseless brutality and violence displayed by blacks and BlackLivesMatter protesters in Ferguson and St. Louis, Missouri. Peggy Hubbard was upset by the death of Jamyla Bolden, a 9-year-old girl who was killed by a bullet fired in a drive-by shooting while lying in her mother’s bed Tuesday evening doing homework....

“We Will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" is a message that should be both set to music and shouted from the rooftops Even if Donald Trump doesn’t make it as the GOP’s Anointed One , let alone as America’s 45th President, those who care about the West, will still owe him a huge debt of gratitude. Almost seven years on, Donald Trump is waking up America to the socialist sugar-spun fairytale that Barack Hussein Obama continues to spin: that America is dead; that it is over; that there is no comeback position. After all, the Republicans sent voter-delivered in majority mode...

In 2012, Kansas reformed its concealed carry law.   People who were exercising their Second Amendment rights would no longer be excluded from public buildings, unless the building took active measures to insure that armed criminals would also be excluded.  Active measure included guards and metal detectors on entrances.  From kansan.com: The law would allow the University to secure the campus against guns by using metal detectors and guards, but it would cost more than $20 million to secure all 237 campus buildings, according to a 2013 report that the University gave to the Board of Regents. If the University...

Peggy Hubbard saying what needs to be said.

The Real ‘Great Satan’ Review: Michael Walsh, ‘The Devil’s Pleasure Palace: The Cult of Critical Theory and the Subversion of the West’ Last year, the University of Michigan funded a one-semester Inclusive Language Campaign to “raise awareness” about the offensiveness of certain words and phrases. It kicked off with a sort of big tent revival where 400 students and staff “signed a pledge to avoid using harmful language and to strive for inclusive dialogue.” Posters telling students that words like “retarded” and “crazy” were inappropriate were put up around campus. Members of the university were also encouraged to share how...

Article V of the Constitution is to the body of the nation what the Second Amendment is to our persons; both enshrine the right to self-defense. Their enumeration in the Constitution isn’t actually necessary, for both rights are derived from nature and nature’s God, existing long before the Constitution. They are thus unalienable, meaning we could not give them away if we wanted to. Still, it is hard to not regard both as bequests, as invaluable gifts from our Framers to every subsequent generation of Americans. Having pursued and ultimately failed at peacefully settling their differences with George III and...

Planned Parenthood's executive vice president Dawn Laguens said the organization is weighing whether to sue the Center for Medical Progress, the group behind the release of videos showing that Planned Parenthood is engaged in murdering, dismembering, and selling aborted babies. "Since these videos were made secretly without Planned Parenthood's explicit consent they constitute an egregious invasion of privacy," Laguens maintained. "Invasion of privacy is a crime. That makes the videos the 'fruit from the poisoned tree' and inadmissible as evidence against Planned Parenthood for any alleged crimes depicted in the videos." Laguens also contested the idea that there are any...

As I watched the 7th Center for Medical Progress video exposing Planned Parenthood’s Mengele-like baby organ harvesting operation I almost threw up. The horrific description of former StemExpress fetal procurement tech, Holly O’Donnell describing how she was lured into cutting through the face of an intact unborn child whose heart was beating to get brain tissue made me literally sick. “And she has one of her instruments and she just taps the heart, and it starts beating. And I’m sitting here and I’m looking at this fetus, and its heart is beating, and I don’t know what to think,” O’Donnell...

Pro-lifers are expected to gather outside Planned Parenthood in 47 states to expose their barbaric baby parts harvesting operation this weekend and the abortion advocates are fuming. Desperate efforts are being levied to reel back losses abortion advocates sense in their blood thirst for child killing and none is so evident as what they are writing on the pro-life protest event page. One such person called the national Protest Planned Parenthood event, “the most absurd anti-woman thing I’ve seen.” Well, she certainly has a right to her opinion but outrage is a natural response to months of shocking video evidence...

Despite writing about Jimmy Carter's hatred of Jews and Israel for over a decade, when I heard last week that Jimmy Carter's cancer had spread I felt bad for the man, his family, friends and prayed that he would be free of pain till the end. To be honest I began to agonize what I would write about when he died. Usually I ignore the deaths of dishonorable people, the two exceptions were Helen Thomas who I exposed as an anti-Semite which destroyed her career and John Murtha the late congressional king of pork who disgraced himself and the uniform...

The first of this week’s Coach is Right, Friday Shorts From the Tehran Times Commentary by John Velisek USN (Ret), CiR staff writer “Inaugurating the 4-day gathering, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned that enemy is seeking to create divisions in the region and portray Islam as the religion of violence and extremism, urging resistance against such plots. ‘The enemy intends to turn the religion of morality and brotherhood into a religion of violence, extremism, killing, discord and rift and we should stand up to such deviation and distortion,’ Rouhani told the participants, Press TV reported. ‘We should not allow enemies...

In 2012, Jerry Todd wrote of Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachman (R) after she exposed the dangerous, perhaps even treasonous relationship between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin. At the time, RINOs castigated Bachman for “Muslim insensitivity.” But today, Todd says: “Happy to see folks are waking up.” Some names and positions to be concerned with: Arif Alikhan – Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Mohammed Elibiary – Homeland Security Adviser Rashad Hussain – Special Envoy to the (OIC) Organization of the Islamic Conference Salam al-Marayati – Obama...

Perhaps it's wrong to gloat, but I'm going to anyway because the very existence of this site has always bugged the $#*t out of me, standing as a glaring, in-your-face example of how our society is in complete and utter moral free-fall. And now that there's been a second, even more massive dump of data from the shadowy, elusive 'Impact Team' -one that includes the CEO's own emails, even source code for all his websites/mobile apps, etc- this is a hack even a righteous man can love... Credit card info, email/billing addresses, and other data released by the hackers has...

In this screenshot, the robber has the pistol, which appears to be a semi-auto.  The robber is closest to the counter.  The red arrow points to the pistol. It happened on August 17, 2015.  The concealed handgun carrier was robbed of his handgun in a strong arm robbery.  The story illustrates one of the disadvantages of concealed carry.  Concealed carry gives up tactical deterrence.   The robber did not know that the concealed carrier was armed, so he was not deterred from attacking him.  In this case, the element of surprise was to the advantage of the robber.  The police...

How Systems Get Tired by Richard Fernandez August 19, 2015 - 2:42 am One of the arguments for the impossibility of an event is lack of previous failure. “It never failed before and thus can never fail ever”. The Washington Post’s editorial board invokes a variant of this logic to refute Donald Trump’s border policy, arguing there are so many illegal immigrants it is too expensive to deport them all, leaving no alternative but to accept more. Besides, America is still standing so what can be the harm in admitting more? The same argument is used to justify other policies....
