A shocking display of the dangerous and foolish blame game in the wake of the Pulse massacre turned up at the New York City LGBT Pride parade this past weekend, with a group carrying the rainbow banner featuring the large black-emboldened text: “REPUBLICAN HATE KILLS”. Aside from the facts that jihadists hate gays and that it was the call to jihad that resulted in the killing spree at the Pulse, a few more facts highlighted in the article below are well worth noting: “The shooter at Pulse was a registered Democrat. He voted in Florida primaries. He was a big...

Nine candidates are vying for Rep. Charles Rangel's seat — a position he's held for nearly a half-century — but only one stood beside him as he cast his vote in Harlem on Tuesday. "For the first time in 46 years I couldn't find my name!" Rangel said as he stepped out of his polling site at Public School 175 on W. 134th St. "But I'm so glad I did find his name," he added, nodding towards Assemblyman Keith Wright, whom Rangel endorsed as his successor. New Yorkers in seven congressional districts in four boroughs — Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx...

The House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives released a stunning set of documents this month from its investigation of the trade in baby body parts between abortion clinics like Planned Parenthood and biotech companies like StemExpress. In the first of two complaint letters filed with the Department of Health and Human Services, the Panel writes: “the Panel’s investigation has uncovered information indicating that StemExpress and Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, Planned Parenthood Shasta Pacific and Family Planning Specialists Medical Group committed systematic violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (‘HIPAA’) privacy rule from about 2010 to...

A suspected car bomb was detonated outside a Perth mosque on Tuesday night as hundreds of worshippers attended a prayer service inside. No one inside the Thornlie Mosque was injured when the white 4WD exploded shortly after 8pm outside the Thornlie mosque, near the Australian Islamic College in Perth’s southern suburbs. Anti-Islamic graffiti was also sprayed on a fence.

Security at a Berkeley middle school was beefed up after the principal received a “vulgar and poorly written” email threat over a teacher’s involvement in a counterprotest to a neo-Nazi rally at the state Capitol building in Sacramento over the weekend that turned into a bloody melee.

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump reacted to the terrorist attack on Tuesday in Istanbul that killed at least 28 people at Istanbul’s Ataturk airport, saying terrorism must be kept outside of the United States. Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump Yet another terrorist attack, this time in Turkey. Will the world ever realize what is going on? So sad. In response to the recent attack, Trump issued the following statement: Our prayers are with the families of those killed and injured in Istanbul. The whole world is stunned and horrified. The terrorist threat has never been greater. Our enemies are brutal and...

Some strange news out of Birmingham, Alabama, where City Councilwoman Sheila Tyson went on a bizarre rant questioning why the city would help fund a Holocaust memorial, as it would honor people who are dead. According to Tyson, the city's contribution to the memorial (which amounted to paying for the removal of existing structures) is questionable as the city cannot fund the renovation of Shadow Lawn Cemetery, an older cemetery in the town. "Dead is dead," said Tyson, referring to the victims of the Holocaust. Tyson also referred to Shadow Lawn Cemetery as the oldest cemetery in the state, country,...

One of the more common phrases you hear on social media and in political debates today is "elections have consequences." And that's true for the most part, as candidates and parties that win elections usually get more power and freedom to impose their favored policies. But it would be a lot nicer if elections had more than just consequences. It would be better if elections taught lessons, especially to those who lose the elections. But that's not what's happening right now in Britain.... ...And don't forget the most tragically clueless response of all: the push to have the entire referendum...

The foreign ministers of France and Germany are due to reveal a blueprint to effectively do away with individual member states in what is being described as an “ultimatum”. Under the radical proposals EU countries will lose the right to have their own army, criminal law, taxation system or central bank, with all those powers being transferred to Brussels.

i was at the cashier at a local hardware store today. the cashier was female and late 50s to mid 60s. i was buying some tools and some junk food including twinkies. to make a joke, i said i was dan white and i need the twinkies to provide my excuse. after a few moments the cashier recognized "dan white" and presumably the connection to twinkies and laughed. she said dan white, he is really scary. i would have left it at that but she went on to say "just like trump." i took the bait. i said why. she...

The NYT, CNN, et al, are so invested in the Obama Admin and the Hillary! Campaign, they can't help but lie about the information in the newest Benghazi report.

RENTON, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — More smart guns would be sold in New Jersey under a measure that cleared the state Assembly Monday. As WCBS 880’s Kelly Waldron reported, the measure would create a roster of so-called smart guns, which can only be fired by authorized users, available for sale. The bill would also require most New Jersey gun retailers to carry a couple of smart guns in their stores.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I thought I had adjusted to it, but I haven't. It just makes me sick. It depresses me. It makes me sick all over again. This Benghazi thing, it's so emblematic of what has happened to us as a country. It is so enlightening as to what has happened to institutions that we need to be able to trust. It exposes this administration as, gosh, I don't know, incompetent, uncaring, self-focused. It's just, I don't know, folks. Greetings. Great to have you here. Rush Limbaugh behind the Golden EIB Microphone. Telephone number if you want to be...

Hannity Special; June 27, 2016- Interview w/ Former Clinton Secret Service Agent- Gary Byrne

With the summer Olympics just a few weeks away in Brazil, a veteran Al Qaeda operative released from Guantanamo to Uruguay has gone missing and authorities in Latin America believe he sneaked into Brazil after being denied legal entry. The Islamic terrorist’s name is Jihad Ahmad Diyab an in late 2014 President Obama sent him to Uruguay along with five fellow Gitmo inmates as part of a misguided plan to shut down the U.S. military prison at the Naval base in southeast Cuba. Now officials from Uruguay, Brazil and the United States are scrambling to find Diyab, according to news...

Mt. McKinley National Park: This is a very sad story about a formerly well-balanced wild bear. Everybody should heed the warnings not to feed wildlife because they become dependent and don't forage for themselves any longer. It is such a tragedy to see what has been done to our country's wildlife. The U.S. Forest Service photo below captures a disturbing trend that is beginning to affect U.S. wildlife. Animals that formerly were self-sufficient are now showing signs of belonging to the Democrat Party. They have apparently learned to just sit and wait for the government to step in and provide...

Outnumbered; June 28, 2016- GOP vs Obama:New Report on Benghazi, Trump Clarifies Muslim Ban

Above url goes to the Kelli Ward for Senate site dedicated to Attacks and Facts. Today she held a campaign event in her primary fight with John McCain in a restaurant in Tempe. Attended by about 50 and CNN -- I was also there. The McCain campaign realizes (from polling that they are doing in AZ) that Kelli is a threat. They are running nasty attack ads and putting up nasty attack websites, in fact, Bing gives the McCain promoting attack site when you put in her url. These attack ads are actually helping her because so many are tired...

Donald Trump’s proposed moratorium on Muslim immigration certainly isn’t a unique idea. Dr. Mudar Zahran, a Muslim refugee living in Europe, warned in an interview last October that Muslim migrants should be kept out of Europe. Nor is it close to the most extreme idea recently voiced; that title belongs to a Samoan proposal to ban Islam itself. And now it’s clear that it’s also a mainstream idea in the United States, with polls showing that Americans have come to favor a temporary ban on Muslim immigration. While Trump’s proposal has long been a winner with GOP primary voters, it...
