,img> Here's a tweet that may come back to haunt Donald Trump. Back in 2014, Trump tweeted about how he and Al Sharpton are BFFs. The Donald 'gets' Al Sharpton but others don't. Meaning Trump gets the race hustling, riot instigating Al Sharpton while us peasants don't. Unless this was a ploy to woo the black vote, being friends with the likes of Al Sharpton is nothing to be bragging about. The Donald should know this.

If true, the latest revelation about Hillary Clinton’s secret e-mail system goes way beyond “smoking gun.” It reaches the level of full core meltdown when it comes to US national security and the safety of American intel sources. Fox News reporters Catherine Herridge report that the Inspector General has noted that information in one or more e-mails contained information classified as “HCS-O,” denoting extraordinarily sensitive material that could put a human intel source at high risk if exposed.

Donald J. Trump: "I want to win for the people of this great country. The only people I will owe are the voters. The media, special interests, and lobbyists are all trying to stop me. We won't let that happen!"

The entire rationale for wind turbines is to stop global warming by reducing the amount of CO2 being returned to the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. In the attached picture, recently taken in Sweden, freezing cold weather has caused the rotor blades of a wind turbine to ice up bringing the blades to a complete stop. To fix the “problem” a helicopter is employed (burning aviation fuel) to spray hot water (which is heated in the frigid temperatures using a truck equipped with a 260 kW oil burner) on the blades of the turbine to de-ice them.

A group calling itself Anonymous Conservative hacked the 2016 Iowa Caucus website Monday, posting a manifesto on its front page. The cyberattack was in response to former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's endorsement of GOP front-runner Donald Trump last week. "The recent endorsement of Donald Trump by Sarah Palin is the final straw for our organization, The Anonymous Conservative," read an announcement posted to the Iowa caucus website. "Every good Conservative knows that Sarah Palin is a national embarrassment and she represents everything that is wrong with America," read the statement, allegedly from the hacktivist...

"Being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" (Ephesians 4:3). The unity of the Spirit must be earnestly maintained by humble, gentle, patient, loving Christians. Today's Scripture spells out the goal of the worthy walk: the unity of the Spirit. Jesus prayed for Christians "that they may all be one; even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me" (John 17:21). Our witness to the world depends on our unity as believers. The world is...

"I pray that . . . you may know what is the hope of [God's] calling" (Eph. 1:18). The hope of your calling is grounded in God's promises and in Christ's accomplishments. In Ephesians 1:3-14 Paul proclaims the blessings of our salvation. In verse 18 he prays that we will comprehend those great truths, which he summarizes in the phrase "the hope of His calling." "Calling" here refers to God's effectual calling-the calling that redeems the soul. Scripture speaks of two kinds of calling: the gospel or general call and the effectual or specific call. The gospel call is given...

The sole restaurant owner living with Down syndrome in the US is closing up shop after five years so he can relocate to Denver, Colorado, so he can be near his girlfriend, who also has Down syndrome. Tim's Place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, belongs to Tim Harris. Harris and his lady love Tiffani Johnson crossed paths when Harris was a speaker at a convention for Down syndrome, CBS reported on Friday. In an interview with CBS, Johnson she had been 'too scared [to go up and say something to Harris] because I never met a guy like Tim.' 'I think...

It is the beginning of the end of the House of Clinton: 1. There is the stench of political death around Hillary, Bill, Chelsea and the entire House of Clinton. 2. You could feel it when Republican front-runner Donald Trump hit back — hard — over the "penchant for sexism" charge by basically calling Hillary Clinton an enabler in the former president's sexual shenanigans. 3. When have we ever seen the Clintons back off? But they did. 4. Then came further reports about an expanded FBI probe of her handling of secure information; the nexus of State Department favors for...

"How many times can you have a baseball bat taken to your rib cage by a gang that have "GB" on their jerseys before you stand up for yourself?" ~ Andrew Breitbart, 2011

Having won an Oscar, I'm safe. Otherwise, I suppose I would have had to get my agent at CAA to write a letter assuring the Academy that even though I haven't produced a film in the past 10 years, there are three scripts on his desk he has not yet been able to set up, thus indicating activity in the past 10 years. That is, unless you can count the short film I directed, which made it into several festivals, or the web series I directed, which was nominated for a Producers Guild Award. Or do the 15 years I've...

Critics are blasting a Massachusetts city's new law that they claim requires residents applying for a license to carry handguns to write "an essay" and pay upwards of $1,100 for training. The new laws take effect this week in Lowell, a city of 110,000 that lies 35 miles north of Boston. Pushed by Police Superintendent William Taylor and passed by the City Council, they require applicants for unrestricted handgun licenses to state in writing why they should receive such a license. Taylor, who was unavailable for comment on Monday, has sole discretion for approving or denying the applications. "It is...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I have a question, folks. I really am bugged by something here. I'm watching all of this talk about banning the Oscars. And all these Hollywood liberals and Hollywood actors and actresses are running around saying, "We can't go to the Oscars, there aren't any black nominees. It's a racist bunch, it's racism, and we're not gonna go support it." If that's the case, then why aren't all good liberals boycotting the Democrat presidential primaries? Which is whiter, the list of Oscar nominees or the Democrats running for president? Is there a whiter group among those two?...

Caddell noted that the only two Republican candidates who have not hired or surrounded themselves with national Republican consultants are Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% . Scott Walker, he said, surrounded himself with consultants out of Washington and out of the RNC and they immediately destroyed his candidacy. The remaining candidates, he said, have listened to their consultants and have relied on out-dated messaging and strategies and have spent millions of dollars to no appreciable effect. Mike Murphy has spent millions taking Jeb Bush from 17 percent [in the polls] to 4 percent, Caddell said. The same sclerosis...
