RUSH: Grab sound bite number 3. This is CNN New Day today. CNN was shamed into reporting the truth about the left-wing views of the Dayton shooter. They sent a reporter to Dayton whose name is Polo Sandoval. Polo Sandoval, they’ve sent to Dayton, Ohio, to basically find out what I told everybody yesterday. All you have to do is look at this guy’s Twitter feed and you find out he’s a left-wing radical wacko. But, see, that didn’t fit the media narrative. (impression) “No, no! This guy, like El Paso, this guy’s a rock-ribbed conservative white supremacist, white nationalist.”...

A reader writes: We have large swaths of young men in this country completely detached from meaning and purpose in their lives. Others turn to violent radicalization, as witnessed this past weekend. Yet here is the home page of the Boston Globe web site right now. Am I the only one who sees something troubling here? Meanwhile, last weekend The New York Times ran another one of its long pieces promoting the disintegration of society in the pursuit of sexual freedom. It’s titled “Polyamory Works For Them.” Excerpts: On a recent Saturday night in Crown Heights, an angelic gatekeeper in...

[Catholic Caucus] Swiss bishop warns against ‘destruction of the priesthood and of the sacred character of the Church’ August 6, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Bishop Marian Eleganti, the auxiliary bishop of Chur, Switzerland, delivered a video message on his Kath.net blog defending the sacred character of the priesthood, which is not a “profession like any other.” Eleganti points out that the mission of the priest is threefold: “to govern, to preach, and to sanctify.” Any attempt at separating these three offices of the priesthood, he adds, would lead to “the destruction of the priesthood and of the sacred character of...

In the wake of the weekend's mass shootings, the liberal media have unleashed a torrent of false accusations and attempted political exploitation. But for sheer, vile, slander, it will be hard to top the calumny uttered by Nicolle Wallace on her MSNBC show Monday afternoon.

RUSH: By now you probably have heard about the New York Times headline conspiracy/controversy. If you haven’t, let me bring you up to speed on this. The New York Times, both website and print edition of the paper… I guess… No. This may be web versions. I’ve got screenshots here. I don’t read the printed version of the New York Times, so I’m not sure. Let’s just stick with web version here for this, because it’s for certain. They released a story on Trump’s speech yesterday in which the president condemned white supremacy, he condemned white nationalism, condemned racism in...

Have you had enough of: U.S. Government now approaching 23 Trillion dollars in debt, and still borrowing about One Trillion more dollars every year. That’s about 3 Billion new dollars borrowed every day. Congress funding abortions with your tax dollars Government taking one-fourth of the average paycheck, while sending money to other people who refuse to work…and occasionally bailing out companies like General Motors and CIT Group, who have failed to repay billions of dollars to the taxpayers Courts forcing private business owners to fill orders that violate their ethical standards...

Although mass shootings account for a fraction of gun deaths in America and gun homicides are at historic lows, the terroristic nature of these crimes make them especially traumatic and destructive. The murderers, predominately young white men and loners with hateful, but often confused, ideologies, can strike anywhere. And that puts them everywhere.As much as people try to make sense of these events, to blame someone, these murderers have no real or tangible objectives other than death. Mass shootings arenÂ’t Donald TrumpÂ’s fault any more than they are Elizabeth WarrenÂ’s, despite the efforts of many in our parasitic political...

A shock 2016 study argued that the U.S. accounted for nearly one-third of all mass shootings, sparking global headlines about the dangers of an American gun culture. Now another researcher says the original study “botched” the data. John R. Lott Jr., president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, crunched the numbers and said his count shows that the U.S. had less than 3 percent of the world’s mass public shootings over a 15-year period.

Back in May, I wrote that Trump’s China tariffs will only “work” if Americans pay them. The president wants to shrink our trade deficit with China; tariffs further that end by making it more expensive for Americans and American firms to buy Chinese goods; if China takes steps that absorb the cost of the tariffs, then Americans will be spared part or all of the tariff burden, but they’ll also have less incentive to buy American. Sure enough, after President Trump announced that another round of China tariffs would start September 1, the Chinese responded by allowing China’s currency to...

Remember the signature event in Ferguson, Missouri, that started the recent war on cops? You know, where the lie of 'hands up don't shoot' was spawned? Remember when the Congressional Black Caucus embarrassingly stood on the House floor with their hands raised? I remember when they smeared the character, reputation, and sacrifice of the fine men and women who put on a uniform and risk greatly to protect and serve. They weren't alone. Even President Obama had added fuel to the fire claiming that our police officers have a problem with people who don't look like them. At that time,...

Weekend of Massacres: let's review all the gun violence solutions Were you ready for the massacre aftermath and analysis coming from the media/Democrats/"conservatives" funded by the left? A cornucopia of think-pieces, editorializing-masquerading-as-news, finger-wagging and general peacock-strutting for a runway of virtue on social media and cable "news." We have solutions! Sadly, all these solutions, that "do something," all involve infringement on your rights and have nothing to effectively address gun violence. First up, let's ban assault weapons. Do you know what happened during the 10-year life of the Clinton assault weapons ban? Columbine. Did we stop/reduce gun violence? Nope. Also...

The owner of the anonymous message board 8Chan, Jim Watkins, has unequivocally stated that the manifesto which was said to have been posted by the El Paso Walmart shooter on his website was not actually posted by the killer. Just moments before the deadly shooting in El Paso on Saturday, a sinister four page long manifesto was posted to 8Chan by someone who claimed to be the shooter. However, Watkins, an Army veteran, asserted that the shooter actually posted on Instagram prior to the attack — and whoever uploaded the manifesto to 8Chan was not the person who committed the...

A survivor of this weekend’s shooting in El Paso, Texas told CNN’s Chris Cuomo that he was surprised when he found out that his “gun-wielding” mother did not bring her firearm with her to Walmart. “I ran towards my mother to try and shield her. And I’m like ‘mom.’ Cause my mom is a gun-wielding grandma. She carries a snub-nose Smith and Wesson, 38 special with a built in scope in it — everywhere she goes,” Grant said. The man said he was shocked when he found out that his mother wasn’t carrying her firearm.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A veteran FBI agent who wrote derogatory text messages about Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Tuesday charging that the bureau caved to “unrelenting pressure” from the president when it fired him. The suit from Peter Strzok also alleges he was unfairly punished for expressing his political opinions, and that the Justice Department violated his privacy when it shared hundreds of his text messages with reporters. “The campaign to publicly vilify Special Agent Strzok contributed to the FBI’s ultimate decision to unlawfully terminate him,” the lawsuit says, “as well as to frequent incidents of public and online harassment...

The owner of the website 8chan claims the El Paso shooter’s manifesto was not uploaded by Patrick Crusius, and another man, claiming to have grown up next to him, says “Patrick has autism and was in special ed classes… He couldn’t have written that document.”In the aftermath of the tragic shooting at an El Paso, Texas Walmart on Saturday, the liberal media turned the blame on President Trump, other prominent conservatives and Trump supporters altogether.Despite the fact that the suspect made it clear his views, “predate Trump,” and that he supported a universal basic income and automation, concepts no Trump...
