A plastic surgeon in Ukraine has been slammed for taking selfies with his unconscious patients while performing surgery. Edgar Kaminskyi, 31, has been a plastic surgeon for eight years, but his practice of taking photos while his team operates on their patients is what has attracted the most attention. The surgeon often shares the photos with his more than 104,000 Instagram followers, including before and after images of women with breast implants and the silicon implants themselves. But it is the photos — and even videos — of him operating that have caused the most uproar. In one photo, the...

May sound like Capt'n obvious here, but apparently the NeverTrumpers are blind to it. At this point, barring divine intervention, the only way to stop Hillary from destroying the USA is to elect Trump. If Hillary wins, the American experiment with Liberty is over. This may very well be our last election. Don't blow it. Come hell or high water, I'm supporting Trump. Most people I know are determined to do likewise. Who's with us?

Wow, I was viewing Watch What Happens Live on Bravo, which is typically a channel watched by liberals. They always have a poll question, usually something like, "Which housewife is the meanest" or "Which house-husband is the hottest". Tonight, the question was, "Who do you support, Trump or Hillary?" I didn't vote because I was sure that the response would be a landslide for hiLIARy. Imagine my shock (and thrill) to find that TRUMP won the poll 65% to 35%! Just WOW! I have hope for this country.

Looking for good ideas on how to express support and appreciation to our police. As a chaplain for 10 years I have seen them work up close to defuse family problems, befriend youth, contribute to the community as coaches, take dangerous drivers off the streets, deal with gangs and take on the bad guys. I have seen how the last thing an officer wants to do is discharge his weapon or even unholster it. But he or she does want to go home to his family. So any suggestions out there...

From the start the Dallas assignation of 5 cops was reported to be well planned and executed. Well stop right there! The two police shootings in St. Paul and Baton Rouge took place Tuesday and Wednesday. The Dallas murders took place Thursday. So this place of debris had 24 to 48 hours to plan the attack. All this planning was done by an army first class trained in hammer management. And in twenty four hours. How did he know and when did he known that the black terrorist group, BLM, was going to protest in Dallas and from whom? How...

My daughter was a thief. And what she stole was cold, hard cash. It began with money from a parent’s wallet. Then, from another parent’s wallet. It moved on to a twenty from her big brother’s desk drawer. And then singles from the babysitter’s purse. This happened a dozen times over. It was a pattern. It was serious, not incidental or of opportunity. The piece de resistance was pinching thirty dollars from a school mate’s back pack – she got wind that the wad was in there for a donation. Oh, and my daughter is seven. I freaked out. Explained...

I wanted to poke everyone into a small bit of local action. I also ask that you spread this to others, asking them to do the same. What I'm asking is for you to take one minute out of your schedule and call your local police or sheriffs office (non-emergency line, of course) and let them know that in the face of all the anti-police rhetoric, violence directed at officers, and riots focused on law enforcement (encouraged by the WH and the BLM)... let them know that the VAST majority of this country stands behind them and supports them. It's...

A curious thing happened today with my Paypal account. I was trying to add money to Paypal from my bank account and I got an Error message that said I cannot add funds at this time. So I called Paypal and the young lady that answered the phone apologized and told me I would need to talk to a specialist. The specialist came on the line and informed me that I did not need to add funds to my account because Paypal would go ahead and pay whatever charges I made on my Paypal debit card and just pull the...

Thought it would be better if one thread was created for nationwide activity rather then for each city Baton Rouge Protest starting at noon New Black panthers are expected to show up BATON ROUGE - The FBI released a strongly-worded warning about threats to peoples' safety Friday evening. In the memo - known as a 'Gold Code' - federal authorities warned Baton Rouge-area and Shreveport-area law enforcement agencies to "threats to law enforcement and potential threats to the safety of the general public." It goes on to report, the FBI New Orleans office has found multiple groups "calling for or...

What happened to the three people leaving the scene of the shootout last night in the black Mercedes that were taken into cutostody on I35? I watched video reports on BBC of these people being arrested in the middle of the freeway with about 50 cruisers surrounding them and the reporters said the suspects were not cooperative in the insueing interviews. The narrative has now switched to a "lone gunman", how is this possible and what happened to these three people who were witnessed putting a "camo" bag in the car and leaving the scene?Also, how can one shooter triangulate...

Understandably buried in the avalanche of news coming out of Dallas is the story of Mark Hughes, an attendee at the rally, who was falsely singled out as the original suspect in the sniper killings because he was seen at the rally openly carrying a weapon. Original Dallas PD Tweet: https://www.google.com/search?q=mark+hughes+dallas+pd+tweet&espv=2&biw=1600&bih=775&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjbuLLM-eTNAhXMo5QKHVPhAnQQ_AUIBygC#imgrc=5pfDkS9uXyFUSM%3A One can only imagine the degree of danger that this tweet put Mr. Hughes in, and luckily for him, he was both smart enough to think to immediately turn over his gun and then himself to the authorities and he was lucky enough to encounter police officers who managed...

Will any of our Media outlets connect the dots? Connect the dots between the BLM, New Black Panthers and Social Justice Warriors and the Communist Party USA and now Islam. Too much? I don't think so. It's all there, right in front of them and they don't report on these connections. We all know, or should know that A.N.S.W.E.R and Int'l ANSWER have been involved and while they have been at this sort of crap for many years, there is no reason to discount their money and organizational influence. Just look at the signs they "Produce" and distribute for protest...

“Constant conflict is actually often good politics, because the more you can inflame your supporters the more likely they are to show up at Election Day,” Clinton said on Monday, according to CNN. http://www.politico.com/story/2013/10/bill-clinton-government-shutdown-president-obama-98310.html?hp=l2 As Hillary secures the nomination we shall see the return to the DNC's 1968 campaigns methods. Violence.

Traditional pollsters and polidiot pundits---which by definition includes every GOPe/neverTrump blogger ever to see a birth canal---are about to get another election badly, badly wrong. As if the Brexit poll (final Independent was off by a mere 14 points) and the seven straight misses by Nate Silver and the stunning 22-point error on the Democrat primary race in Michigan . . . well, you'd think somewhere someone would say, "Hold on. Let's reconsider our assumptions." Pew has a survey Strong Interest in Campaign showing that more than 70% of Americans are very engaged in this election. Of course, Pew shows...

However, Dallas Police Chief David Brown confirmed the death of one gunman, later identified by CBS News as of 25-year old Micah Xavier Johnson of Mesquite, the suspect that police cornered in a parking garage at El Centro College in the downtown area immediately following the shooting. According to Brown, police cornered Micah Johnson and negotiated with him for several hours. When talks broke down – they exchanged gunfire with the man. At that point, police sent in a remote vehicle and detonated a bomb – ultimately killing him. “We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot...

The Black Lives Matter movement is nothing less than a so-called movement stirring stuff up. Sure, the police forces might have a few bad apples, but aren't these people supposed to be all for due process? Someone takes a video or something, but without the full story/context, and immediately, the cops are guilty? I think not. One of the problems the black community has today is the much higher rate of crime among blacks compared to other groups, Hispanics included. Lower school graduation rates, low college attendance, and even lower majoring in USEFUL majors among blacks who get to college....

When discussing 18 USC § 793(f), the court in this 1995 opinion stated: The purpose of the federal espionage statute is to protect classified documents from any unauthorized procedures such as “remov[al] from its proper place of custody” regardless of the means of removal, and it was appellant’s gross negligence that was the proximate cause of the classified document’s removal. We stated in United States v. McGuinness, 35 MJ 149, 153 (1992), cert. denied, 507 U.S. 951, 113 S.Ct. 1364, 122 L.Ed.2d 743 (1993), that “it is clear that Congress intended to create a hierarchy of offenses against national security,...

This hearing with FBI director Comey fails to ask one question that needs to be addressed. All this email thing comes from the Benghazi investigation where Congress discovered Hillary had a private insecure sever of her own that wasn't under the control of the government. This discovery rang all kinds of alarm bells for anyone that understood the gravity of what she was doing. Just to make it more clear what we are faced with let's try to make a hypothetical example of the gravity of what she did. Let's say the Libyan Ambassador sent multiple emails to various officials...

I read an interesting article on the Washington Post website. I think that FR bans this kind of propaganda, but it was interesting in just how disguising and PC the media has become. In all my 55+ years of life, I have never really met anyone of the Muslim faith, so I really don't know what to make of all this... But it just seems to me that all this is getting rammed down my throat. The PC crowd is rewriting everything about America. They are turning the laws into jokes... (Just look what happened with the Hillary FBI investigation.)...

Forgive the vanity post, but I'd like to tear you away from all the Monday morning quarterbacking of Comey's press conference and ask two questions. During the previous Clinton administration, FBI agents repeatedly assassinated U.S. citizens, including women and children, and did so with the full support and approval of the Clinton White House and the U.S. Justice Department.Did you really expect anything other than another FBI whitewash this time? Have you forgotten the Weaver family and the Branch Davidians already?
