On Monday morning, CNN Newsroom made sure everyone recognized its hatred for President Donald Trump, his supporters, the Second Amendment, and anyone looking to unify the country in the wake of the Dayton and El Paso mass shootings. If you weren’t on board with those terms or approved of the President’s Monday morning speech, there was no place for you aboard Team Jeffrey Zucker. Along with blaming the President and his supporters, journalists also slammed the National Rifle Association (NRA) as seemingly the one group that’s anthetical to keeping Americans safe and even in particular blamed Senator John Cornyn (R-TX)...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) revealed on Monday that he recently underwent surgery to remove a portion of his lung that was injured after his neighbor assaulted him at his home two years ago. "Unfortunately, I will have to limit my August activities. Part of my lung damaged by the 2017 assault had to be removed by surgery this weekend," Paul said. "The doctors, nurses, [and] staff at Vanderbilt University Medical Center were great. I should be able to return to the Senate in September." Unfortunately, I will have to limit my August activities. Part of my lung damaged by the...

NEW YORK - Two men and two women were shot early Monday during a candlelight vigil in a New York City neighborhood, authorities said. The vigil was being held for a neighbor who had died. Police said that person had died of natural causes and was not a victim of violence, WPIX reported. "They were just trying to celebrate the little guy over there that just died of cancer and you see all this shooting out here," neighbor Douglas McLough told WABC. The four victims were in stable condition Monday morning, The Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported. According to authorities, a...

The decline of China’s yuan on Monday to its lowest level in 11 years against the US dollar could continue into 2020 amid the apparent shift in its policy stance by the Chinese authorities, who are showing increasing reluctance to provide concessions to resolve its trade war with the United States. The Chinese currency’s drop has also rattled the currency market, sending 11 regional currencies lower. The yuan slid 1.3 per cent to 7.0298 against the dollar on Monday in response to President Donald Trump’s threat to impose a new 10 per cent tariff on the US$300 billion of Chinese...

FBI is implicated in destroying evidence to benefit Clinton.. In breaking news, the American Center for Law and Justice or ACLJ (Jay Sekulow's organization, not related to his role as the President's attorney), has obtained actual copies of the immunity agreements pertaining to Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson in the Hillary email scandal. This was a stunning litigation win, hard-fought after years of litigation by the ACLJ attorneys, who were unable to extract the documents through the normal FOIA processes, due to a lack of cooperation by the government. In reviewing what the agreements uncovered, keep in mind that Cheryl...

Former U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., is calling for the release of a document he says could be a “game-changer” in the scandal over Democratic claims that the 2016 Trump campaign colluded with Russia. Top Barack Obama administration officials peddled the claims, including FBI Director James Comey, who leaked memos to the media to prompt a special counsel investigation. Robert Mueller’s probe, however, concluded there was no collusion and declined to refer obstruction of justice charges. On Sunday, Gowdy said in an interview with “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo that a transcript of a conversation between an FBI informant...

The trade war between the United States and China ratcheted up over the weekend to a level that Cowen says, “on a scale of 1-10, it’s an 11.” “Overnight, Chinese government retaliated against new U.S. tariffs, and it’s designed to get the President’s attention,” Cowen analyst Chris Krueger said in a note to investors on Monday. China responded on Monday in two ways to President Donald Trump announcing the U.S. will add 10% tariffs to $300 billion worth of Chinese goods. First, China’s central bank allowed its currency the yuan to fall “below 7 to the dollar, which is a...

The Start-Up nation that has become a technological powerhouse has once again displayed its inventive capacity to provide protection for the people of Israel. Earlier last month, in Alaska’s air space, Israel successfully tested the Arrow 3 interceptor, its latest anti-ballistic missile-missile. The testing of the Arrow 3 system in Alaska proved that it is able to intercept and destroy an incoming ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead in the outer atmosphere before it dangerously splits and flies toward its target. The test, conducted at the Spaceport Complex Alaska in Kodiak, was a joint effort between the Israel Missile...

Ronald Reagan -- The Gun Owner's Champion Ronald Reagan, then two-time Governor of California, penned this column in the September 1975 issue of "Guns and Ammo." Reagan steadfastly held to this position throughout his Presidency, even after an assassin attempted to murder him in 1981. In 1983, President Reagan noted, "You won't get gun control by disarming law-abiding citizens. There's only one way to get real gun control: Disarm the thugs and the criminals, lock them up, and if you don't actually throw away the key, at least lose it for a long time... It's a nasty truth, but those...

At 1%, Muslims are still a small percentage of the population. But there’s one place in America where they are vastly over-represented. State prisons. Take Maryland, which has an estimated 70,000 Muslims, making up over 1% of the population. But of Maryland's 18,562 prisoners, 5,084 were Muslims. That's 27.4% or over 1 in 4 prisoners. It would also mean that 1 out of 13 Muslims in Maryland may have been in a state prison. Those are startling numbers, yet they come from Muslim Advocates, an Islamist legal advocacy group. Both MA’s numbers and the number of Muslims in different states...

VIDEO Here are several lightning strikes I recorded in Broward County, Florida on August 4, 2019 between the hours of 2 and 3 PM. The thunderstorm was about 10 miles to the south. I repeated each lightning strike in the video and then slowed it down to a quarter speed.

Security platform Cloudflare ditched 8chan overnight, leaving it vulnerable to attacks. The infamous forum went offline for hours, but some can access it again. =========================================================== A massacre at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, left 20 people dead and another 26 injured on Saturday morning. Hours later, authorities found a hate-filled, anti-immigrant screed the alleged 21-year-old gunman posted on 8chan prior to the attack. It's the third time this year that such a manifesto showed up on 8chan before an atrocity. The same thing happened before a massacre at two New Zealand mosques in March and at a California synagogue...

Two years ago President Trump sent his trusted lieutenant, Steve Bannon, into European exile. My tea leaves says Trump exiled Bannon for two reasons: 1) to stir up patriotic deplorables of the Old World in their fight against Davos elites; and 2) to keep Bannon a safe distance from American politics so Trump could work with McConnell to approve the historic tax cuts that caused the America economy to shift into overdrive. But Banished Bannon is Back!  The media-savvy protege of Andrew Breitbart once again joins the US political fray to energize the fight for Trump's re-election. This one-hour...

Between 1997 and 2016, researchers at an excavation near Ashkelon in Israel examined the remains of more than one hundred humans, remains that dated from the 12th to 6th centuries before Christ. The researchers hoped to find human DNA in order to answer an old question: Who were the Philistines? Where did they come from? As it turns out, the Philistines were exactly who the Bible says they were, and they came from where the Bible says they did. Amos 9 speaks of God bringing up the Philistines from Caphtor, just as he brought Israel out of Egypt. Deuteronomy 2...

Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation. Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of...
