RUSH: Here’s something you haven’t heard — and, unless I tell you, you probably will not hear about it. “President Trump has scored his highest approval rating ever in a key national poll, but the media outfit that produced it has not written about it,” has not done a story on it. It’s USA Today today. Their poll is the USA-Suffolk poll that was taken June 11th through June the 15th. In this poll, Donald Trump’s approval number is at 49%, versus 48% who disapprove. He has never reached this level in the USA Today poll. It is “a profound...

A Chicago judge appointed a special prosecutor on Friday to investigate Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s handling of the investigation into Jussie Smollett’s alleged hoax hate crime. Judge Michael Toomin said that Foxx’s unorthodox decision to drop all charges against Smollett absent an admission of guilt was within her authority, but suggested that her decision to hand the case over to her top deputy was improper. The special prosecutor may end up bringing charges against Smollett in connection with the staged hate crime, Toomin said. Former state appellate judge Sheila O’Brien petitioned for the appointment of a special prosecutor...

Many times over the last 8-10 years, I've seen some composite photos showing headshots of all the main Dem criminal players of recent years: Obama, Hillary, Holder, Lynch, Pelosi, etc. Now, when I need such a picture, I can't find it! If you know of such a picture, could you please post a link? Tried using google, but either I can't find the right combo of keywords or -- more likely -- the google algorithm is censoring what I'm looking for. Thanks all.

The cover story New York published today details an encounter the writer E. Jean Carroll had over two decades ago with Donald J. Trump, in which the then–real-estate mogul allegedly assaulted her in a dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store in midtown Manhattan. The episode is one of six incidents Carroll details in the article of attacks on her by men over the course of her life. Another episode involves the disgraced former CEO of CBS, Les Moonves. The cover story is an excerpt from her newest book, What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal, which...

Earlier today, George Soros, the chair and founder of the Open Society Foundations, was presented with the globalist (in the worst sense of the term) Joseph A. Schumpeter Award for innovative achievements in the field of business, economics, or economic policy, at a ceremony at the National Bank of Austria, in Vienna.

WarnerMedia has chosen a particularly timely subject for one of the first original productions percolating for its streaming service: a YA comedy about a Missouri teen who heads off on a road trip with a friend to seek out a legal abortion. Given today’s bombshell development that Missouri voted to become the first state without an abortion clinic since Roe V Wade, the picture couldn’t be more timely or bold. Erik Feig’s upstart production company Picturestart will finance an adaptation of the Jenni Hendriks & Ted Caplan novel Unpregnant, producing it with Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter of Berlanti Productions....

Elizabeth Warren is being lauded as the serious candidate in the race. Her motto, “I have a plan for that,” is accepted as proof that she is thoughtful and conscientious. That’s too generous. One should expect a grown-up to evaluate costs and benefits, to understand tradeoffs, and to pay for what they propose. By that standard, Senator Warren’s big plans fail spectacularly. What Warren has done is engage in magic-wand politics. Wouldn’t it be great if college were free and everyone got subsidized child care? ) (No.) Wouldn’t life be grand if everyone’s rent were reduced by 10 percent? If...

VIDEO CNN's counterterrorism analyst Phil Mudd seems to perpetrate quite a bit of his own mentally deranged terror on the studio set as you can see in this compilation of his frequent temper tantrum meltdowns.

Everything that America stands for is being opposed by the resurgence of communism with its profound hatred of private property as the root of alienation and exploitation in society. Inequality and the injustice that is believed to flow out of that inequality of ownership is, for the communist mentality, the starting point for a radical critique of American society, indeed of Western Civilization. The left rejects belief in and gratitude for the fact that the U.S. rose out of the British rights framework which is inherently capitalistic. The liberty enshrined in our leading documents and law is closely justified by...

LAKELAND — A 32-year-old woman was arrested on June 15 when she gathered her husband’s guns to turn them over to the Lakeland Police Department. According to Courtney Irby’s arrest affidavit, she told police her husband had been taken to jail for trying to run over her with a car. Irby said she went to Joseph Irby’s apartment on Village Center Drive in Lakeland and searched for the guns she knew he had. When she told a Lakeland police officer she had the guns with her to turn them in, he replied, “So are you telling me that you committed...

Because the obscene amount of money Weissmann made (on taxpayer dime) on a fraudulent and criminal investigation wasn’t enough — now he’s going to sling books based on lies. According to a report out by The New York Times, Weissmann is the first special counsel prosecutor to land a book deal. According to the Times, Weissmann’s book has been acquired by Random House publisher. Liars Robert Mueller and his hitman Andrew Weissmann targeted General Mike Flynn and Paul Manafort for ruin — by any means necessary. A few weeks ago, Deep State federal prosecutors released the full transcript from President...

Wired UK reported on a new wave of 3D-printed gun enthusiasts sharing plans for firearms on places like Discord and online gun control forums. These would-be gunsmiths are sharing plans for everything from Glock 17 handguns to AR-15s with a renewed enthusiasm for the lawless dissemination of digital firearms blueprints.

The actual...

Babb stopped short of confirming that the bright, white dot spotted by numerous News Center 7 viewers was indeed a DARPA balloon, however another spokesperson for DARPA said given the location it was likely one of their balloons. Sightings of the object were reported Tuesday to News Center 7 from viewers in Xenia, Englewood, West Milton, West Carrollton and Eaton. DARPA’s ALTA program’s balloons can fly at altitudes of more than 75,000 feet. “While they do not have independent propulsion, the ALTA vehicle is designed to navigate by changing altitude and thus taking advantage of different wind profiles aloft,” according...

Non-interventionist Trump allies are cheering President Trump's Thursday night decision to buck his most senior advisers and abandon an airstrike on Iran, saying the decision could help him win reelection while preventing a major regional war. Trump canceled the bombing of Iran after authorizing it, saying via Twitter he learned 150 Iranians might die, and that it would not be proportional to the loss of one U.S. drone. National security adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reportedly favored the attack, after issuing aggressive recent statements on Iran. “He doesn’t trust them. He felt that they were cornering...

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway's husband unleashed another attack on President Trump on Friday, blasting his "incompetence" and calling on him to resign after, at the last minute, he backed away from strikes on Iran. "Resign. If you didn’t know this until it was almost too late, you’re even more of an idiot than people think you are," Conway tweeted. "Do the country and the world a favor. Go back to real estate, where the worst you can do is kill banks." [snip]

Famed advice columnist E. Jean Carroll claims that now-President Trump sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing room in the mid-90s, it was revealed. Carroll told New York Magazine the real estate tycoon approached her in Bergdorf Goodman and started a friendly chat. Trump allegedly called the popular columnist “that advice lady” and asked her to help him pick out lingerie. They eventually went into a dressing room together, where Carroll claims Trump shoved her against a wall and pulled down her tights. She then claims Trump was “forcing his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis halfway...

Hope Hicks spent yesterday being abused and harassed by Jerry Nadler and his gang of misogynist perverts. Three times Nadler referred to Hope Hicks as "Ms. Lewandowski"Nadler "apologized", saying he was "preoccupied." By what, we do not know. Personally, I think it was quite intentional and misogynistic. Others have suggested that Nadler is suffering from diminished faculties. It was sexual harassment: The perverted democrats, irritated by Hicks' refusal to answer questions about the White House, then turned to another issue- Hicks' love life. Devin Nunes: “Nobody quite understood why she was back in the U.S. Capitol yesterday doing essentially another deposition,”...
