Just like all the other conservative positions that Donald Trump allegedly holds, the evidence is mounting that he has been an immigration hardliner for about five minutes. Courtesy of Ann Coulter, who somehow thought this would help Trump, here is a tweet from Donald Trump in 2013, explaining that his position is exactly the same as Marco Rubio's:

The governor of Oregon on Wednesday expressed further disdain for the small militia that's occupied a federal bird sanctuary in the southern part of the state for two and-a-half weeks now. Gov. Kate Brown called the group's occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Harney County "intolerable" and criticized federal authorities' handling of the takeover. The militia, led by Ammon Bundy, has been holed up on the federal land for 19 days and has refused numerous orders to leave. "This spectacle of lawlessness must end," Brown said. "This situation is absolutely intolerable and it must be resolved immediately."

Government estimates of debt over the next decade have gone from adding $1.5 trillion in debt to $9.4 trillion due to recent tax legislation. That will put the country up over $30 trillion in debt assuming there are no further recessions. This is the decade of no return. Seems blowing up peoples countries and importing their poor and putting them on benefits is no longer working. We have also tried closing all our factories and letting the world scam us out of jobs in the “free trade” system. World’s highest tax rates…not seeming to help either. Cramming people into “universities”...

Apple Analysts Are Crying Wolf (Again) There's a whining at the threshold, There's a scratching at the floor, To work! To work! In Heaven’s name! The wolf is at the door! ~ All Apple Analysts Everywhere1 In “The Shepherd’s Boy,” Aesop provided us with a wonderful fable about a boy who repeatedly cried wolf because he wanted to draw attention to himself. The moral of the story was that an alarmist might be believed once, perhaps twice, but then they would never be trusted again. Wow, was Aesop ever wrong. If you’re an Apple analyst, you can cry wolf time...

By now we all are very aware of whats coming to the mid-atlantic states, especially in the D.C. area. Now wasn't it Obama and Kerry who have been complaining about what will happen soon with Global Warming and Global Climate change? Jonas is about to open a can of whoop ass in Virginia and the Tri-State region. So will John Kerry hold another Global Warming Summit/With Press taking questions in New York or DC next week?

Via the Blaze, I was going to write a post about her blaming PTSD -- and Obama -- for her son's domestic violence arrest but I can't get past the first line of the clip below. The candidate who'll respect what our veterans go through is the guy who ... mocked her former running mate's heroism in enduring the Hanoi Hilton because he had the misfortune of being captured in the first place? Palin circa 2009 would have destroyed Trump for that. Palin 2016 doesn't blink. Increasingly I feel like the Trump campaign is a test to see how far...

Exactly one year from today a new president will be sworn in. I'm hoping that new president is Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Today, I am officially endorsing Cruz for our nation's highest office.To me, my endorsement comes down to three things: the man, his character, and his strategy for how he will clear up the mess our nation is in.The Iowa Caucus is in only 12 days, followed eight days later by the New Hampshire primary. Cruz is surging in the polls. If he wins some of the early primaries, he will have a momentum to make it all the way to the...

Despite a court preservation order, the IRS has wiped the hard drive of their former director of transfer pricing operations, Samuel Maruca. Maruca is connected to the agency’s controversial retainer of law firm Quinn Emanuel. The IRS privately contracted the litigation firm to assist in an audit of a corporate taxpayer, overlooking the firm’s lack of any experience managing sensitive tax data. The IRS has faced criticism for its decision, specifically from Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) 43% . In a letter to the IRS, Senator Hatch voiced his concern that the agency’s $2.2 million tax-payer funded contract...

The same day Oregon Governor Kate Brown called the takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge "absolutely intolerable", more militiamen from around the country drove in truck by truck to join the cause. "We came here to work and we are working," Bundy said. "We have crews that are working and our teams that are working on." That includes a legal team, security detail, crews to tend to the property and numerous other small groups tasked with "important" work. "We're doing what's right, we're doing what the founding fathers would do because we're inspired by God, also." But the town...

A few years ago, on board a flight from Los Angeles to New York, a group of young girls wore nothing but jeans and T-shirts - in the middle of winter. They didn't speak English, and they didn't speak to each other the entire flight. I remember thinking it was odd, but I didn't know what to do about it. My mother, a retired flight attendant, once had a man on board a flight traveling with a teenage girl. They didn't look like they were related, and they weren't friendly with each other either. "When I asked the girl what...

Dolly Parton, who turned 70 on January 19, has countless awards and honors under her tightly-cinched belt - and has no intention of slowing down. "After you reach a certain age, they think you're over," the country singer told AARP.

An international team of researchers said Sunday they will soon begin analyzing cosmic particles collected inside Egypt's Bent Pyramid to search for clues as to how it was built and learn more about the 4,600-year-old structure. Mehdi Tayoubi, president of the Heritage Innovation Preservation Institute, said that plates planted inside the pyramid last month have collected data on radiographic particles known as muons that rain down from the earth's atmosphere. The particles pass through empty spaces but can be absorbed or deflected by harder surfaces. By studying particle accumulations, scientists may learn more about the construction of the pyramid, built...

The prosecution is considering a plea bargain with teen terrorist Ahmed Mansara, who carried out a stabbing attack in Pisgat Zeev in October. Mansara’s lawyers, who had previously tried to reach a deal with the prosecutor's office and were rejected, are reportedly now interested in trying again to find a way to ease his sentence. When the indictment against Mansara was filed he was 13 years old, but he has since celebrated his 14th birthday and he can now be sent to a lengthy prison sentence. The prosecution wants Mansara to serve a lengthy prison sentence and also for him...

A bill seeking to block the U.S. Supreme Court's gay marriage ruling in Tennessee has been defeated in a subcommittee of the state House over concerns about nullifying federal rulings. The five-member panel defeated the measure sponsored by Republican Rep. Mark Pody on a voice vote on Wednesday. Republican Rep. Mike Carter of Chattanooga said that while he disagrees with the high court's ruling, he considered the bill to turn back the ruling a step too far. In Carter's words: "I equate nullification with anarchy."

This film was commissioned in 1988 by Leonard Stern as the first of a series on celebrity businessmen and finished in 1991. Back then, the only way for a film to be seen was on television or in the theater. Donald threatened to sue any broadcaster or distributor that took on the film. In effect, it was suppressed. It was screened twice in back-to-back standing room only showings at the Bridgehampton Community House on July 3, 1991, the same day that Donald announced his engagement to Marla Maples. Also at Trump: What's the Deal?

If you think Bernie Sanders is a hero, harm yourself. He is, in fact, a fascist with bad hair. Worse than Trump’s by the way. So at least Trump has that going for him. Aside from his tax plan which we’ve already thoroughly debunked, my biggest beef is how Sanders is selling himself. He’s telling everyone he’s “for the people.” But that is, in fact, a giant lie. VIDEO AT LINK Bernie Sanders says every person who works 40 hours has the right to a “living wage”. I don’t agree. I believe you have the right to be paid an...

Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin explained why Donald Trump, the supposed anti-establishment candidate, is siding with the establishment on the ethanol mandate. It has everything to do with trying to pander for votes. Levin explained what crony capitalism is. That it is the state picking winners at the expense of others. In the case of ethanol they have made it mandatory in cars, even though it is proven that it does not reduce oil usage, because oil is needed for the production of ethanol. That it hurts engines. The most damaging thing that ethanol does, according to Levin is add...
