The following article was published by the Washington Post on November 26th. “Clinton campaign will participate in Wisconsin recount, with an eye on ‘outside interference,’ lawyer says” By Matt Zapotosky The first two paragraphs below are excerpts from the Zapotosky article. “In a Medium post, Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias said that the campaign had received ‘hundreds of messages, emails, and calls urging us to do something, anything, to investigate claims that the election results were hacked and altered in a way to disadvantage Secretary Clinton,’ especially in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, where the ‘combined margin of victory for Donald...

Two teenagers go into a gun store. One is white. The other is black, and a Muslim. The white teen is advising the black teen on what to buy. Is it a "Straw Purchase"? Several stores have been sued for millions of dollars because they legally sold a gun to someone who later committed a crime. Gun retailers have been exhorted to be careful in who they sell to. They have been told to exercise judgment. They have been told that when in doubt, refuse to sell. The Reese family in New Mexico, had their lives ruined, and spent...

Is it just me? What does "searching for motives" mean? As if Islamist like this Abdul Razak didn't clarify himself well enough. An Ohio State University student posted a rant shortly before he plowed a car into a campus crowd and stabbed people with a butcher knife in an ambush that ended when a police officer shot him dead, a law enforcement official said. Abdul Razak Ali Artan, 18, wrote on what appears to be his Facebook page that he had reached a "boiling point," made a reference to "lone wolf attacks" and cited radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.Stop interfering with...

As we react, and overreact, to every report regarding who might serve in the forthcoming Trump administration, let us make sure we keep our eye on the prize. For there is one decision to come soon after the inauguration that I believe could very well be the barometer for his presidency. That decision will be who Trump nominates to succeed Antonin Scalia on the U.S. Supreme Court. This is the one decision the Trump presidency cannot get wrong — even slightly. This has to be a hundred percenter. A no doubter. This is no time for a John “Obamacare” Roberts...

Finally someone has the courage to stand up to our heavily biased and bought for media! Here's to President Trump for keeping it real and not taking crap from anyone!!   https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/803422200594309120   and   https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/803421742815412224  

On 21 March of 2016, the Supreme Court issued a remarkable and, apparently to the Court, non-controversial decision.  In the Caetano PER CURIAM decision (pdf), the Court held that: The Court has held that “the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding,” District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. 570, 582 (2008), and that this “Second Amendment right is fully applicable to the States,” McDonald v.Chicago, 561 U. S. 742, 750 (2010). While the decision, which was unanimous, has far...

Smart Diversity, Smart Governance, Smart Arming the BLM, Stealing elections, Coming for your Guns and Freedoms Having failed in their sickening, carnivorous raid on the last redoubt of Truth, Justice, and the American Way—the god-cursed, flesh-eating bacteria Democrats, and their filthy banshee demons and thieving succubi—they are now going to Plan “B”? Foreign trillionaire, Plan “B”?

Bent-out-of-shape lies of the progressives are fast becoming their hand-made version of THE TRUTH It’s got to be the hypocrisy of all time that the same progressives who worked to advance Communism as an ideal in America—starting at the grade school level and moving outward— are now trying to advance the idea that it is the Russians and not dirty Democrats who are behind the wholly progressive-manufactured “Fake News” scandal. Now that they’ve been caught, red-handed, blaming the very thing that they cultured, nourished and grew in America, the liars who blame “Fake News” on the Russians, should be outed...

"Am I allowed to accept tips?" Let’s not pretend this is anything more than what it is. It’s staged, of course, and it’s anyone’s guess how many takes they had to shoot to get the footage they used. It was also five years ago, which means Trump wasn’t doing it as a campaign stunt.

Jill Stein praises Fidel Castro: 'Fidel struggled for justice' If we’ve learned anything from the 2016 election, it’s that every candidate must answer for and denounce the words of their allies and supporters. For Trump, this was true no matter how tenuous the connection was. Even if there was no connection, he was asked - repeatedly - to reject statements made by every last weirdo who said they were voting for him. Heck, even after Trump denounced the crazies, he was badgered to denounce them again.

How does anyone become this absurd? Not that you never make fun of the Clntons. Of course you do. How can you not make fun of people who are so phony, and ham-handedly so? But for me at least, there was never really much joy in lampooning these people while there was still the possibility that they would return to the White House, with Hillary having somehow managed to grab the power of the presidency to use for the many nefarious purposes one would expect of such a malevolent human being. Sure, she was a shieking joke. But we were...

The following article was published on November 25th on the Frontpage Magazine website by Daniel Greenfield Barack Obama has two faces. After Trump’s victory and Hillary’s defeat, the public Obama has been gracious and diplomatic. His lectures to Trump, directly and indirectly, are couched in praise. He echoed the feeling of millions on both sides when he said, "We are now all rooting for his success”. That’s a lie. Or rather a disguise. Obama and his aides had, in one insider narrative, decided to don the “mask of decorum”. The contempt for Trump still seeps through the mask. And the...

Asians in America faced heavy discrimination and animus in the early twentieth century. Yet, after institutional restrictions were lifted in the late 1940s, Asian incomes quickly converged to white incomes. Why? In the politically incorrect paper of the year (ungated) Nathaniel Hilger argues that convergence was due to market forces subverting discrimination. ... Despite this intense discrimination, Asian (primarily Japanese and Chinese) incomes converged to white incomes as early as 1960 and certainly by 1980. One argument is that Asians invested so heavily in education that convergence has been overstated but Hilger shows that convergence occurred conditional on education. Similarly,...

Obama and Raul Castro. Disgusting We first ran this piece about 8 months ago, when Obama took his “historic” trip to Cuba. Needless to say, my family’s pretty happy to hear that Fidel Castro, the mass-murdering tyrant who stole so much from them, is dead. Herman suggested I re-post the piece today. My wife is Cuban. If we’re getting technical, she’s Cuban-Italian, but the point is that her father was a Cuban gentleman who - until the Castro brothers took over - owned a hospital in Havana.

It was a life from another century when family, church, citizenship, hard work, and morals mattered. It was the 20th century generation of Americans that had made America great Ina Faye’s mother was a “pack-rat” who lived through the Great Depression. A child of seven brothers and sisters, they lived in dignified poverty, glad and thankful for hand-me-downs, clothes, apples, peas, okra, and whatever their neighbors could share in those difficult years. It was a hard-scrabble life but nobody complained much. Ina Faye’s dad came from a well-off family. Even though he could give her mom whatever she wanted, mom...

Democratic Party, which used to identify with and support America’s working men and women, has morphed into a party aligned with wealthy donors, celebrities, Wall Street, and corporate fat cats I will only do what is right for our country, which I love.—President-Elect Donald J. Trump “Crippled America” (p. 90) Do you not think an Angel rides in the Whirlwind and directs this Storm? —John Page (1743-1808) Letter to Thomas Jefferson, 1776 I fully expect sporadic spasms of the globalist movement’s death throes to continue inflicting posthumous damage for some time. Yet, like John Page during the 1st American Revolution...

Alternate realities I hope you’re already aware that Fidel Castro was an evil, despotic mass murderer. Because you’d never know it from reading the media’s post-mortem tributes to this tyrannical monster since his death on Saturday. A man of the people, they tell us. A true revolutionary. The man who gave hope to his people, who now teeter on the edge of despair with their hero gone. Yeah. Tell that to the millions he brutalized, imprisoned and murdered. Tell it to those who lost their lives trying desperately to get to the United States in rickety boats because even being...

Fidel Castro, like his psychopathic patsy Ernesto Guevara Lynch, was a man who relished terrorizing civilians-in Cuba, the United States, throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, and even in Sub-Saharan Africa-even if it meant the immolation of millions in a nuclear holocaust. Unlike Che-who in addition to being a sadist and mass murderer was a complete and utter failure-Castro was able to watch his experiment unfold on his 11 million guinea pigs over the course of half a century. He lived to see a million and a half Cubans flee the tropical gulag he had created, including his sister and...

Black Lives Matter: We Must ‘Come To The Defense’ Of Castro Amber Randall Former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro’s legacy provides many lessons to learn from, according to Black Lives Matter. After Castro’s death Friday, Black Lives Matter released an article titled, “Lessons from Fidel: Black Lives Matter and the Transition of El Comandante.” “And there are lessons that we must revisit and heed as we pick up the mantle in changing our world, as we aspire to build a world rooted in a vision of freedom and the peace that only comes with justice. It is the lessons that we...

South Dakota Representative Lynne DiSanto South Dakota will be considering a permitless, or "Constitutional" carry bill again this year.  In 2012, a bill passed both the House and the Senate, but was vetoed by Gov Daugaard.   In 2012, only Alaska, Arizona, Vermont and Wyoming had Constitutional carry.  In 2015, Constitutional carry passed the South Dakota House, but was killed by a Senate Committee.  It passed the House 44 to 23. The Senate was controlled by Republicans, 27 to 8. Now, in 2016, Constitutional carry is expected to be introduced by Representative Lynne DiSanto. From siouxcityjournal.com: PIERRE, S.D. —...
