Public Opinion: The reaction to the latest IBD/TIPP poll showing President Trump's approval ratings taking a big hit has been, well, depressing. Liberals are shamelessly cheering it on while some Trump backers are blaming the poll. Both responses are misguided. The poll shows that only 34% approve of the job Trump is doing, which is a low not seen since the last months of the Bush presidency, when the financial crisis was in full swing. Clearly, the left's total war against Trump has taken its toll. Every day it is wall-to-wall attacks in news, entertainment, academia and every other corner...

FULL TITLE: 'Real men provide. Real women appreciate it': North Carolina residents plan protest over 'sexist' billboard paid for by a mystery organization Women are planning this weekend to protest a North Carolina billboard with a message they say is a slam on gender equality, according to media reports. A billboard on a highway between Winston-Salem and Greensboro reads, 'Real men provide. Real women appreciate it.' It's on Business 40, a heavily traveled commuter stretch of an offshoot of Interstate 40 that runs between the two cities. Winston-Salem boutique owner Molly Grace said that she sees the sign's message as...

Donald Trump has promised to hold the media responsible for their "dishonest" reporting......

Fact checking sites that don’t check facts, but spin them “O brave new world, / That has such people in ‘t!” One progressive ex-fact checker has boldly announced that it’s time to forget about the facts. No one cares about them anyway. “It’s Time to Give Up on Facts,” is the title of her screed.

Customs and Border Protection told major US airlines Friday night that it is reinstating visas following a federal judge’s decision to temporarily halt President Donald Trump’s travel ban. CBP is “back to business as usual” prior to the situation that was in place before last week’s executive order, an airline executive told CNN. Airlines are expected as soon as Friday night to start removing travel alerts from their websites and getting messages out to customers to alert them about the change.

Any tax increase that specifically targets private equity, venture capital, real estate and other long-term business investments is counterproductive to reaching that goal Margaret Thatcher reminded us that one of the problems with socialism is you “eventually run out of other people’s money,” but that doesn’t stop liberals like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) from finding more sources. His latest crusade is an effort to increase taxes on investment income – namely carried interest capital gains. For several years Schumer opposed increasing capital gains on carried interest, but now, after declaring he will work with President Trump when he...

Trump puts America first; Trudeau puts Canada last There is no dispute Canadian people as a whole are politically further to the left than Americans. There are of course conservatives who would not only like to see Justin Trudeau gone but replaced by a Trump-like successor. There is very little chance the latter will happen, at least in the foreseeable future.

As faith dies out in the West, Islam moves in The Women’s March on Washington and other cities has effectively demonstrated the division in our nation. One side wants to conserve our ideals while the other side demands an end to our Judeo-Christian principles and faith. In the process, these protesters are being unknowingly manipulated by Islamists, Anarchists and Communists, much of it financed by George Soros. The formula is simple. You find impressionable or unhappy people, tell them their misery is not their fault and then build a fire underneath them.

"Are so many women so shallow?" They came, they howled, they carried signs and wore stupid 'pussyhats' and they accomplished nothing, nada, zilch other than street theater" A day or two before the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump on January 20th, 2017, I watched a reporter interviewing five attractive, intelligent, articulate women from California, who were all making the long cross-country trip to the Women’s March on Washington on January 21st.

Have faith and live life; Eternal-Forever.

She's been dead for 10 years. She's not coming back. Get over it." My Aunt Mary held a grudge against my Mom, Betty.

For six years, since they took back the House of Representatives, Republicans have added to a pile of legislation that moldered outside the White House. In their thwarted agenda, financial regulations were to be unspooled. Business taxes were to be slashed. Planned Parenthood would be stripped of federal funds. The ­Affordable Care Act was teed up for repeal — dozens of times. When the 115th Congress begins this week, with Republicans firmly in charge of the House and Senate, much of that legislation will form the basis of the most ambitious conservative policy agenda since the 1920s. And rather than...

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”...
