There is no way to have a properly functioning democracy without an informed public. But time after time polls show that far too many Americans believe in conspiracy theories. A recent poll conducted by The Economist/YouGov found that a person’s political preferences are a major factor in determining whether they’ll believe a conspiracy with Trump voters being especially susceptible to them. First, the poll found that Americans of all political stripes are ill-informed on some major issues. Do you believe there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq that the U.S. never found? 53% YES / 47% NO Do you...

The serpent (or serpents) of the medical emblems is a reminder of a misdirection of faith, a deception that there is something other than God that is Healer. Have you ever considered why the medical arts are represented by snakes? Serpents, then, just to be polite. Having worked in the field of alternative medicine (in a concurrent career) the question hadn’t really come up. But as the president-elect is expected to deliver on his promise to eradicate Obamacare, that a rod encircled by snakes symbolizes medicine is worth a look. It’s true that the medical arts have made amazing advances...

Denial, excuses, and deflection... As the boss wrote this morning, Democrats are mired in denial about the 2016 election. Since nothing is ever Hillary Clinton’s fault (she’s always the victim, don’t you know) they need someone or something to blame for her spectacular implosion. They’ve tried to pin it on racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, voter fraud, and the FBI, all to no avail. Nothing seems to stick. So now they seem to have settled on “Russian hackers.” The theory is that Russia hacked the DNC, revealed information about Hillary Clinton, and that swayed the public’s opinion. To put that argument...

Their joke about “peaceful transition“ is going down like a lead balloon The departing government has announced “peaceful transition” but it looks like members of Obama's administration are digging holes in “common ground”, shrouded by smoke from the American flag burnt by their not so "patriots first" camp. Democrats were big on diagnosing soldiers and Veterans with PTSD and yanking weapons from the most deserving hands; it's only fair to say that right now the left seems to suffer from some kind of Post Obama Stress Disorder. Should we consider that, according to their own prescription “persistent disorientation and anger”...

Protests have always taken center stage in America. Many times our eyes roll back in our heads as we are forced to see the absurdity of gays marching in the streets for their endless list of rights; the fake news worshippers screaming about the brutal cops and the so-called evil, Hitler-like Trump. It is the end of Democracy you know, the one we never had. Then there are black lives matter crowds marching in racist arrogance as cops are murdered and whites are attacked at their events.

Are we supposed to bow down to a ruling class of controlling liberals, greedy politicians, MainFake Media, foreign soldiers, and domineering hordes of the “new brownshirts?” Private armies of the Left? From, NoMoreFakeNews.com: ‘Understand that these media giants not only believe they own the news, they also believe they create reality itself for the masses. They carve into the rock and unveil the sculpture. They script and direct the movie and screen it. They paint the ceiling fresco and display it. They write the novel and sell it. They produce the stage play and review it.

Forget them all. The raging, hysteric, dangerously insane and lying Liberals. Abandon them; ignore them; pass them by. This human pile of used tires. This sweaty stack of syrup-soaked pancakes; this $50,000,000 rich guy; this open air agitator; this provocateur; this riot leader and inciter—this Jabba the Democrat. Will this dripping opportunist Hollywood mogul bring a film crew to the riot he seems to be trying to start, at the inauguration of Donald Trump?

If the Trump victory has proven any thing it’s that the influence of the lib-left is fast fading, so is the influence of their sycophantic running dog media It was only a matter of time before it was going to happen: The left dive-bombing into Donald Trump’s historic election success—and pretending to have been there all along. According to Mark Thompson, President and CEO of the Save-Our-Rear-in-Tatters New York Times, “one of our most devoted readers, a New Yorker born and bred, has just been elected President of the United States”.

Dear Deplorable Friends! Let's all hang out here today and savor the victory together!!!!! Join the ongoing thread by clicking the Source URL above or the link below.

With less than two weeks until the presidential election, Donald Trump and his wife Melania sat down in an exclusive interview with George Stephanopolous to air on Thursday's Good Morning America.

"I built one of the great hotels of...

Mac Man tries to gobble up all the Apples. Illustration: Ste Smith/Cult of Mac Cult of Mac 2.0 bugYou don’t see long lines for the latest Lenovo PC or LG Android phone. But take a quick peek on the internet and you’ll find plenty of people lining up to say how much they hate Apple. Every successful person or company has its critics, but the expressions of vitriol for Apple are more complex than the popular refrain ‘haters gonna hate’. Some are bugged by the price of Apple gadgets, others sneer over the enthusiasm of Apple fans, mockingly referring to...

"A pair of security researchers recently uncovered a Nigerian scammer ring that they say operates a new kind of attack...after a few of its members accidentally infected themselves with their own malware," reports IEEE Spectrum. "Over the past several months, they've watched from a virtual front row seat as members used this technique to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from small and medium-sized businesses worldwide." Wave723 writes: Nigerian scammers are becoming more sophisticated, moving on from former 'spoofing' attacks in which they impersonated a CEO's email from an external account. Now, they've begun to infiltrate employee email accounts to...

A US man who sent more than 27 million spam emails to Facebook users has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison. Sanford Wallace, 47, is nicknamed the "Spam King" and last year pleaded guilty to federal charges including fraud and criminal contempt in connection with using electronic mail. Wallace, who is from Las Vegas, also faces a fine of $310,000 (£218,500). The messages were sent to Facebook users in 2008 and 2009. An FBI investigation resulted in Wallace's prosecution after he turned himself in, in 2011. "Wallace illegally obtained, stored, and exploited Facebook user account information...

Donald Trump has made yet another announcement that will dismay Democrats across the country, and that is his choice for Attorney General. Trump tweeted that his pick for Attorney General is South Carolina conservative Rep. Trey Gowdy, who currently chairs the U.S. House of Representative’s Select Committee on Benghazi. ..snip..

It is not only American generals who are irresponsible and declare on the basis of no evidence whatsoever that “Russia is an existential threat to the United States” and also to the Baltic states, Poland, Georgia, Ukraine, and all of Europe. British generals also participate in the warmongering. UK retired general and former NATO commander Sir Richard Shirreff, Deputy Supreme Allied Commander in Europe until 2014, has just declared that nuclear war with Russia is “entirely possible” within the year. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3596977/The-outbreak-nuclear-war-year-West-Putin-entirely-plausible-says-former-NATO-chief-promoting-novel-2017-war-Russia.html My loyal readers know that I, myself, have been warning for some time about the likelihood of nuclear war....

Where's all the good news about Trump My heads going to explode with this controlled media and it's starting to permeate the www. Tried searching the web for "minority employee of Trump" because I saw a youtube vid of a hispanic/black (I forget which) woman praising her employment at Trump. I'm sure I can find it in my browsing history but all I find via a web search is negative/opposite. Likewise, searching for "good things Trump has done" brings up the exact opposite. Trump the man and the company pages on wikipedia have no mention of anything good. I know...

TAMPA — The Tampa Bay Times, Florida's largest newspaper, on Tuesday purchased the Tampa Tribune from Revolution Capital Group, saying it intends to create one financially secure, locally owned daily newspaper in the Tampa Bay region. "The continued competition between the newspapers was threatening to both," Tash said in a statement. "There are very few cities that are able to sustain more than one daily newspaper, and the Tampa Bay region is not among them." At a subsequent news conference, Tash noted that people today get their news from an almost infinite variety of sources. "There are many, many voices...

It’s a safe bet that many if not most who support Ted Cruz are not aware of the Cult that goes with that support, the kind of demon that they would be putting in charge of our nation. One that falsely professes to be a Christian but unlike anything most of us would associate with legitimate Christianity. It’s time for Cruz supporters to open their eyes and see what it is that has control over their judgment. They’re voting and advocating for a cultish figure, one not very different from Jim Jones and Jonestown.
