Danney Williams is tenaciously pursuing a relationship with the man he claims is his father. Williams, who asserts Bill Clinton is his real father and has publicly asked the former president for a paternity test, took to Twitter on Sunday to wish his "dad" Happy Father's Day. [Snip] "Even though you abandoned me and only took care of Chelsea, I still want to thank you for giving me life," Williams wrote. [Snip] About 30 minutes later, he continued, "I'm not looking for sympathy nor welfare, I just wish you didn't forget about me." Then a few hours later, he posted...

With his $13.7 billion acquisition of Whole Foods, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos has made clear his determination to dominate every facet of mass retailing, likely at the cost of massive layoffs in the $800 billion supermarket sector. But this, if anything, understates the ambitions of America’s new ruling class, almost entirely based in San Francisco and Seattle, as it moves to take over industries from entertainment and transportation to energy and space exploration that once thrived and competed outside the reach of the oligarchy.

A Florida fisherman lost $2.8 million in prize money after he was disqualified from a fishing tournament in Maryland for failing a polygraph test. A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Phillip Heasley, of Naples, the winner of the 2016 White Marlin Open tournament in Ocean City, Maryland that took place in August 2016, would be disqualified from the tournament, and 13 other contestants who won other competitions would split the prize money, the Baltimore Sun reported.

If Shakespeare were alive today, he would instantly recognize the New York Times and its treasonous ilk, because Shakespeare feared nothing more than treason and civil war -- which is exactly what happened to the Roman Empire after the plotters stabbed Julius Caesar to death in the Forum. In our Civil War, a war fought about the Constitution and freedom, 600,000 people died; it was far and away our worst war, and today's demagogues are still trying to twist the reality of that war to sucker all the airheads of the left. In American history it was the Democrats, of...

Italians this week cheered the electoral defeat of a mayor who signed a deal with George Soros to turn the tiny island of Lampedusa into a gateway to Europe for migrants travelling from Africa. “Thank you, you have eradicated the Lampedusa cancer,” read graffiti sprayed across walls on several streets of the small island with just 6,000 residents after voters ousted Mayor Giusi Nicolini.

Saturday on Fox News Channel’s “Justice,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich took aim at MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough, his former colleague in the U.S. House of Representatives, for suggesting Gingrich’s criticism of former FBI Director Robert Mueller was tied to the appointment Gingrich’s wife, Callista Gingrich, to the U.S. ambassadorship to the Vatican. Gingrich told host Jeanine Pirro his support for Trump had been a constant and that for Scarborough to have said that suggest he is a “prostitute.” “Now we know to the degree of which Joe [Scarborough] is a prostitute that apparently he would do that,”...

The Washington D.C. nomenklatura advanced forward last week with its slow-moving coup d’état against America’s constitutionally elected President. But even after the federal bureaucracy’s further progress toward undoing the 2016 election, I confess to a faint hope that Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III -- supposed embodiment of upper class, non-partisan, lawyerly virtue -- might actually conduct a fair, focused and swift inquiry into the matter assigned him. In the end, though, the sensible old lawyer’s voice in my head whispers that this hope is more pipedream than prediction of events. Here’s the latest state of affairs, no doubt soon...

Is honest accounting about military mistakes the rule, or the exception. The disaster of the USS Fitzgerald's collision with another naval vessel, to the loss of 7 servicemen's lives, is being proclaimed "a mystery". Is the mystery only in the Navy's obstruction about the real news, or do the military services and the Pentagon customarily exercise transparency in accounting for their actions to the taxpayers who foot the bill?

Dry ice + a shot from a .50 BMG = mind blowing experience. I have always heard the term dry ice, but quite frankly have no clue what it is made of, where it comes from, or even what its main purposes are. Nor have I ever seen any dry ice. You may know all these things and think I am a very uninformed and unintelligent human, but I don’t care. So, when I came across this video, I was intrigued of what the result would be if you shot a huge block of dry ice (a foot and half)...

Russia's Defense Ministry said on Monday it would view as targets any flying objects over Syria in the areas of the country where its air forces operate, Russian news agencies reported. The statement followed after a U.S. warplane shot down a Syrian army jet on Sunday in the southern Raqqa countryside, with Washington saying the jet had dropped bombs near U.S.-backed forces and Damascus saying the plane was downed while flying a mission against Islamic State militants. [nL8N1JF0YG] The Defense Ministry also said that it was suspending its interaction with the United States on preventing air incidents over Syria from...

There’s a bizarre argument I’m hearing these days which basically goes like this. “Look at how many churches are embracing homosexual practice. This proves we’re getting closer to the truth.” To the contrary, all it proves is that more and more churches are apostatizing. The logic behind this argument is as wrongheaded as it is unbiblical. First, to argue that greater acceptance of homosexuality by churches is proof of spiritual growth is like arguing that greater acceptance of obesity by doctors is a proof of medical progress. The reverse is actually true. Second, the Bible often warns us against compromise...

In an absurdly hostile interview with Fox News’s trending-left host Chris Wallace on Sunday morning, Trump Attorney Jay Sekulow emphatically stated that the President is “not under investigation” by special counsel Bob Mueller. This runs contrary, of course, to the fake Washington Post report from last Wednesday, which cited five anonymous “sources” who assured the Post’s fake reporters that President Trump is indeed the subject of the investigation. Wallace was incredulous, since he apparently still believes the Post is a real news source, and others in the fake news media spent much of the day tut-tutting about Mr. Sekulow’s contention....

At a Mosque in Finsbury Park, a man driving a van has ran over several people as they came walking out onto the pavement. The suspect has already been arrested and so far there appear to be no deaths (although victims are undergoing hospital treatment). In light of the recent terror attacks that involved mounting the pavement to hit (and presumably kill) pedestrians, many are questioning if this is also a terror attack. Witnesses at the scene have stated that the attacker tried to run from the site of the attack and when he was held down by locals began...

Blue flames are products of extreme heat but “green” flames are products of extreme environmentalism, as we saw last week when fire engulfed London’s Grenfell Tower. From London to California’s Sun Valley, so-called green policies that disregard basic principles of fire safety are sparking deadly infernos. This issue deserves our immediate attention far more than Russian hacking myths and fairytales.The odor of burning plastic filled the air as 250 firefighters rushed to the scene of Grenfell Tower on June 14. But the flames spread too quickly and intensely for even this army of professional flame-stoppers. At least 30 people died,...

Exorcists who reportedly worship the devil and believe its former leader controls climate change are being investigated by the Vatican. The Brazil-based group of exorcists, known as the Heralds of the Gospel, are said to use rogue exorcism practices to possess people. They are also said to believe their former leader Dr Plinio Correa de Oliveira, who died in 1995, is in close contact with Satan. Even in death, Dr Plinio is said to possess the ability to control climate change and is plotting towards the death of Pope Francis. The Vatican's investigation was launched as video emerged online purporting...

<p>The threats to our constitutional posed by the special counsel investigation.</p> <p>“The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing,” declared George Washington, “is a vice so mean and low that every person of sense and character detests and despises it.” Theodore Roosevelt concurred: “Profanity is the parlance of the fool. Why curse when there is such a magnificent language with which to discourse?” The answer is that profanity is a useful substitute for discourse when one is losing a debate and needs to trump reason with passionate intensity in order to win. That is what is happening in the current degraded state of our national political conversation.</p>

The Pences recently lost their long term buddy, Oreo.For Father’s Day the VP got a new puppy, Harley, to join the other new member of the family, Hazel the kitty.  The new fur babies make for a Happy Family. As President Truman said, “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.” President Trump should get a dog.Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

Myrtle Beach Mayor John Rhodes called the Sunday morning shooting incident damaging to the city’s desired reputation as a family friendly destination. A suspect has been apprehended by police in the early morning shootout on Ocean Boulevard that has injured multiple people. It was all captured on a Facebook live video that’s been seen by more 1 million people. At approximately 12:25 a.m. Sunday, Myrtle Beach Police officers responded to the area because of a large crowd. Prior to officers arriving on the scene, a fight began between individuals. One of the men involved in the fight presented a gun...

You have to wonder how liberals think this works. So, a manifestly conflicted special counsel leading a pack of maxed-out Democrat donors decides Donald Trump has to be kicked out of office for “obstructing justice” regarding a cynical lie about him cavorting with the Kremlin and…then what? President Pence, until they do the same thing to him? Or do we just skip right to President Felonia von Pantsuit, shrug our shoulders, and give up on our foolish dream of having a say in our own governance? Straightforward from here is….Because normal Americans are woke to the scam. No, the affidavits...

LONDON (AP) — London police, already stretched by a series of major incidents around the capital, are putting more officers on the street to reassure the public after a driver plowed into a crowd of people leaving a mosque early Monday. One man died at the scene and 10 people were injured. Police say a suspect was arrested immediately after the attack, which is being treated as a terrorist incident. "Extra officers are on duty in the area to help reassure the local community," Police Commissioner Cressida Dick said. "They will be there for as long as they are needed....
