Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake lying her pants off.

The Clinton Foundation reported a 2008 contribution of between $1-5 million from Amar Singh---a member of India’s Parliament and Bill Clinton's pal. Singh's contribution was made as Congress debated a nuclear agreement between the US and India, which then-Sen Hillary Clinton supported. She met with Singh to discuss the legislation. Singh’s donation was treated with suspicion and amusement in India.....in Govt financial-disclosure statements, Singh reported his total net worth was approximately $5 million.....meaning Singh had given between 20-100% of his entire net worth to the Clinton Foundation!” author Schweitzer says. Singh gave cryptic and conflicting answers about the donation..India's government...

Forget for a moment the ever-failing economy, the implosion of our foreign policy coherence, and our virtually unilateral withdrawal in the war on terror under Barack Obama's presidency. If liberty lovers don't start fighting back soon, we'll forfeit our freedom of thought and religious expression under the assault of fascist leftist activists in our culture. Let's just look at two of the many recent events that should have us very concerned. As you may have guessed, they revolve around the controversial matter of same-sex marriage. At the outset, let me say that this issue is no longer about same-sex marriage...

"I'll say the very blatant mischaracterization of my words was not helpful today," Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake told a news conference Monday night, as fires burned and hundreds of "thugs" (the mayor's word) looted and destroyed her city. She called it "unfortunate" that the media "decided to mischaracterize my words and tried to use it as a way to say that we were inciting violence." Rawlings-Blake made the comment after a reporter suggested that her own words on Saturday may have contributed to the problem. On Saturday night, after violence began to escalate in Baltimore, the mayor said she was...

Finland’s navy dropped depth charges this morning as a warning to a suspected submarine in waters near Helsinki, raising tensions with neighbouring Russia. The navy said that it had detected an underwater target on Monday and again today and fired warning charges the size of grenades. Carl Haglund, the defence minister, did not say whether Russian involvement was suspected.

Air raid sirens sounded across the Golan Heights on early Tuesday afternoon, warning of possible incoming rockets from Syria or Lebanon. Initial reports indicate local residents heard explosions in the area following the sirens, which were triggered around 12 pm. It is believed that two mortars landed near the Ein Zivan kibbutz, Channel 2 reported. After a brief investigation, the IDF concluded that rocket fire was spillover from the civil war in Syria and was unintentionally shot towards Israel. The Golan Regional Council said in a statement: “As a result of spillover from fighting between rebels and the Syrian army,...

"We were all in the command center in the second floor of the State House in constant communication, and we were trying to get in touch with the mayor for quite some time," Gov. Larry Hogan told a Monday evening news conference. "She finally made that call, and we immediately took action." Asked if the mayor should have called for help sooner, however, Hogan replied that he didn't want to question what Baltimore officials were doing: "They're all under tremendous stress. We're all on one team." Rawlings-Blake said officials believed they had gotten the unrest that had erupted over the...

Traditional moral reasoning shows same-sex marriage creates immense harm in the social fabric. Politically correct moral reasoning shows redefinition to be fair - to be all well and good. If political correctness wins, we all have to go around pretending - under the force of the law - that all is well and good. Meanwhile society will be slowly collapsing all around us and we, and our children, will have to suffer the increasingly poor outcomes in silence. Help.

On Thursday, the Census Bureau released its most recent accounting of state government revenues across all state governments. The newly released data provides us new data points to inspect whether Sam Brownback’s tax cuts have had the intended effect. snip The crux of the issue, as sold, is not whether revenue would decline in the initial years. The question is (and was) whether the tax cuts to individual income and corporate income taxpayers would benefit the jobs market and other areas of the economy. Well, it’s early, but here’s the evidence. Interestingly, relative to other states, Kansas has seen its...

As a response to lower oil prices, E&P companies have guided considerable cuts in their 2015 investment budgets. Preliminary budgets indicate a ~20% drop in global E&P investments this year, with shale declining the most. Observing historical trends, Figure 1 shows global investments for offshore and shale oil and gas. During the past decade, offshore investments have increased from ~ US$150 billion in 2005 to ~ US$360 billion in 2014. The growth in offshore investments is a combination of higher activity and higher unit costs (i.e., rig rates). Also over the last 10 years, shale activity accelerated as horizontal hydraulic...

Post pictures of the Baltimore riots for the world to see.

Clinton Foundation acting CEO Maura Pally has published The Clinton Foundation’s Apologia, Translated written response to the barrage of new revelations concerning the alleged charitable organization, which several watchdog groups have described as a “slush fund.” Like previous Clinton Foundations statements, it suffers from an overreliance on passive-aggressive corporate bullsh*t. So we’ve done our best to provide a translation: Clinton Foundation: Over the past few days, many questions have been raised about the Clinton Foundation, its initiatives, and the financial support that allows us to do the uniquely impactful philanthropic work that we do at home and around the world....

Since Obama became President and started subtly supporting race-baiting and cop-hating, mob violence is back in style. Hordes of Occupy thugs took over parks, blocked traffic and vandalized property while cops were ordered to leave them alone. Ferguson was ripped to pieces while the Democratic governor held back the National Guard. BlackLivesMatter asshats have been blocking traffic across the country. There have been smaller violent outbursts in LA, Oakland and Brooklyn and now Baltimore is under siege by roving gangs of punks. There’s a simple reason this is happening and it’s not criminals getting killed after confrontations with the police...

It's conventional wisdom that the 2016 Republican presidential race is at such an early stage that the polls don't matter. They're just a measurement of name recognition at this point, some observers say, and the only people really paying attention to the campaign are reporters and hard-core party activists. Maybe that was true in earlier years. But it doesn't seem to be the case now. "One thing about this election -- Republicans are paying attention," says a GOP pollster not affiliated with any campaign. "They are very concerned about who the nominee is going to be, and the idea that...

A number of recent polls have found that Hillary Clinton is a terrible candidate; she evens trails rap superstar Waka Flocka Flame in a hypothetical matchup. The latest bad news for Hillary comes from a survey courtesy of Christopher Newport University in the crucial swing state of Virginia. The survey found that Clinton’s favorability numbers are underwater among Virginia voters. Just 44 percent have a favorable opinion of her, compared to 52 percent who view her unfavorably. Clinton’s lead over the Republican field has slipped significantly since February, and she no longer polls over 50 percent against any of her...

Californians are experiencing their third year of drought. Headlines read: "Current California Drought Is Driest In State's History; Scientists Fear 'Megadroughts' On Their Way." "Global Warming Upped Heat Driving California's Drought." Then there are scientific claims such as, "There's a rapidly growing body of scientific research finding that California is in the midst of its worst drought in over a millennium (and) global warming has made the drought worse." A Stanford University study said, "Human-caused climate change helped fuel the current California drought." One news outlet summarized the conclusions of a group of environmentalists this way: "California's severe and ongoing...

Russia has unveiled a new-generation battle tank called Armata T-14 ahead of World War Two Victory Day celebrations on 9 May. It is among several new weapons systems featuring in a vast parade on 9 May. It is 70 years since the Soviet and Allied armies defeated Nazi Germany in 1945. The Russian defence ministry has posted photos of the new military hardware, taken during a rehearsal. Most Western leaders will not go to Moscow because of the Ukraine crisis.

Mohammad Ali Jafari lashes out at Saudis for continued military campaign against Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen. Saudi Arabia is a betrayer who is “following in the footsteps of Israel and the Zionists,” the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said Monday. Maj.-Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari’s comments came amid the Saudi-led coalition’s military campaign against Iranian- backed Shi’ite Houthi rebels who are trying to take over Yemen. “Today, Saudi Arabia is brazenly and obnoxiously bombarding and massacring a nation, which is seeking the denial of the hegemonic system,” Press TV quoted Jafari as saying. Air raids, naval shelling and ground fighting shook...

As the rioting grew fiercer in Baltimore following the funeral of Freddy Grey on Monday, the Obama administration issued statements vowing to end the violence. (snip) The readout also noted that Obama had spoken with Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. “The President highlighted the Administration’s commitment to provide assistance as needed and will continue to receive updates on the situation from Attorney General Lynch and White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett,” the White House explained, adding that Jarrett had spoken with Maryland Governor Larry Hogan earlier in the day. Jarrett also spoke with Democratic Congressman Elijah Cummings of Maryland, from Baltimore,...
