Nicolle Wallace's Career of Bizarre, Unhinged Trump Hate By Bill D'Agostino Nicolle Wallace, the strident Never Trumper who hosts MSNBC’s Deadline: White House, recently came under fire for alleging on national television that President Trump was “talking about exterminating Latinos.” For many conservatives, that backlash — which died down somewhat once Wallace issued a terse apology (albeit only on Twitter) — was their first exposure to Wallace and her vitriolic coverage of this administration. But those remarks from Wallace are just the tip of the iceberg. To that end, MRC analysts have compiled a video of her greatest hits to...

The DEA was audited by the DOJ inspector general in a report released Thursday, detailing numerous instances of mishandling weapons and ammunition. DEA Agents lost 26 of their own firearms from 2014 to 2018, and their means of tracking them down is flawed. DEA facilities also routinely mishandled ammunition and non-lethal devices. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agents are reportedly losing their own weapons, and their system for tracking them down is obsolete, a Department of Justice (DOJ) audit of 16 locations released Thursday reveals. ... The 26 firearms, both carbines and handguns, were stolen or lost in 24 different instances,...

Syracuse University has been named as the country’s best college - but for drinking, drug consumption and frat parties, rather than academic excellence. The New York institution was awarded the unfavorable accolade by the Princeton Review, following a survey of 140,000 students across 385 difference schools. The top 20 list, released this week, ranked schools across the US on drug and alcohol use, time spent studying or in class, and fraternity culture. In total, the schools are ranked under 58 separate categories. Syracuse came in second place on the ‘Lots of Hard Liquor’ category, eighth in the ‘Lots of Beer’...

The top attorney for House Democrats is poised to play a key role in determining whether Democrats begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump. Even though some of House counsel Douglas Letter's legal fights are on topics like ObamaCare and border wall funding, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has pointed to the lawsuits surrounding subpoenas for Trump’s private records as laying the foundation necessary for possible impeachment proceedings. Whether to formally initiate impeachment will be left up to House Democrats, but the information Letter is seeking in court is being teed up as crucial to that decision. However, it’s unlikely that the...

Gun-grabbing crisis vultures just can’t let the latest mass shootings go to waste. “Red flag” laws are now all the rage in the Beltway as the magic pill to prevent homicidal maniacs from wreaking havoc on the nation. Even President Donald Trump has endorsed the idea of preemptively confiscating people’s firearms if they are deemed a “threat.” But if you want to know how this American version of China’s social credit system would work in practice, let me remind you of how Veterans Affairs recklessly red-flags “disruptive” citizens without due process, transparency or accountability in the name of “safety.” Government...

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday a Pennsylvania county's 70-year-old seal and flag is allowed to remain after being targeted by the Freedom From Religion Foundation . The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia ruled 3-0 Thursday that after the Supreme Court upheld the Bladensburg "Peace Cross" war memorial in June as a historic monument, the Lehigh County can maintain its seal as a symbol that “has become part of the community.” The seal and flag feature grain silos, the Liberty Bell, a heart, among other items. But it was the cross at the...

Two women were stabbed, one fatally, right in front of a police officer late Thursday morning in the middle of downtown Pittsburgh. The incident was reported around 11:40 a.m. at 6th and Smithfield Streets, at a Port Authority bus shelter. The scene is not far from a Rite Aid, Burlington Coat Factory and the entrance to the Duquesne Club. According to witnesses, a least one of the victims may have been wearing a hijab, a garment worn by Muslim women. The name of the woman killed has not been released. According to Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert, a Zone 1...

by Brian Hayes | BorderPAC An illegal alien is wanted by law enforcement officials after he reportedly attacked the woman he raped following his release by the sanctuary city of King County, Washington. Francisco Carranza Ramirez, 35, has been living in the United States as an illegal alien for an unknown period of time, a law enforcement official confirmed to KOMO News. Ramirez crossed the southern border during an unknown time from his native Mexico. Ramirez, according to court records reviewed by the Seattle Times, raped a 32-year-old woman — who is bound to a wheelchair because of her disability — in...

When he spoke to his staff in the East Room of the White House 45 years ago today, Richard Nixon did more than speak for the last time as president.  He urged his staff—and the watching nation—to remember that “only those who have been in the deepest valley” can ever appreciate “how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.”  He could not have known it at the time, but those would become some of the most prophetic words he ever spoke as he began his exile from public life.This August represents the 45th anniversary of Nixon’s resignation and...

Fox News' Laura Ingraham continues to go after Democrats for attacking President Trump over the shootings that happened last weekend. "Trump can never do enough to appease the Resistance. They want him gone. Nothing short of Trump resigning and admitting to being a wild-eyed bigot is ever going to satisfy them," Ingraham said during "The Ingraham Angle" Wednesday. Media pundits continued to blame the president for the shootings that took place in El Paso, Texas, on Saturday and Dayton, Ohio, early Sunday, saying he instigated the violence with his rhetoric. "He is someone that is walking into this crime scene...

Back in the summer of 1982, about 18 months into the Reagan presidency, the Washington Post wrote an editorial that sneered, “Reaganomics is now a failure for all to see.” Two months later began one of the strongest and longest economic revivals in American history, with growth rates that surged above 7 percent. Whoops! The timing of the Washington Post editorial could hardly have been worse. I framed that old editorial and kept in my office for many years. Reagan used to say joyfully, “I knew our economic plan was working when they stopped calling it Reaganomics.” I was thinking...

The press hit the lowest of lows (if that wasn’t already surpassed) when they asserted President Trump was responsible for the mass shootings in Dayton and El Paso. They capitalized on the bigoted, anti-immigrant beliefs held by the El Paso shooter to do so, while evading the leftist ideology of the Dayton killer. On Fox News Tuesday, The Five exposed the stories the liberal media concealed over the weekend in order to further their leftist agenda. Co-host Greg Gutfeld took aim at the blatant bias revealed by story selection in the press, including their refusal to cover Chicago gun violence...

THE MODERN FEMINIST CULTURE WAR https://freedom-demokrasi-and-civilised-humanity.com/2019/08/08/the-culture-war/ The light of liberty no longer shines as bright in The West as it once did. The Trump administration gives hope of a reversal but few conservative governments have as robust a figure as The Donald standing up for freedom. The external threat of totalitarian China is real but the threat from within of radical forces attacking and destroying the best western traditions is doing more damage now. How can civilized nations allow the feminist minority of one gender to hijack society and the courts and police and governments to make the demonization and...

Full Headline: Tim Ryan to lead 'caravan' of gun-control activists from Ohio to Kentucky rally directed at McConnell A “caravan” of gun rights activists will march on Friday through Ohio to Kentucky, led by Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) in an effort to push Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to allow Senate votes on House-passed gun control legislation, Ryan announced Thursday. “It's been 150+ days since the House passed 2 comprehensive gun reform bills & Mitch McConnell still has done nothing. That's unacceptable,” tweeted Ryan, a 2020 presidential candidate. Democrats have called on McConnell to bring Senate back from recess...

Apple has activated a “dormant software lock” that effectively kneecaps third-party replacement batteries on some newer models of iPhone Even using another Apple battery doesn’t work, according to iFixit, as a replacement battery can apparently only be authenticated using the company’s internal tools: iFixit compared the practice to having a “Check Oil” light in a vehicle that can only be deactivated at a Ford dealership.

Texas Representative Joaquin Castro's stunt he pulled this week by shining a spotlight on San Antonio citizens and businesses who donated to President Donald J. Trump backfired spectacularly as he was harangued for the obvious danger and division his tweets promoted. But, unfortunately for Rep. Castro, the ire did not come just from conservatives and Trump supporters, but also his own donors. Apparently, the list of MAGA supporters also included folks who gave to Castro's campaign as well. On Sunday night, Rep. Castro tweeted, "Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump — the owner...

After two horrific mass shooting incidents last weekend, the United States is once again locked into the same frustrating routine that follows such tragedies. In El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, deeply disturbed individuals shot and killed more than 30 people in two separate events. Many Democratic politicians running for president immediately began using the incidents in their fundraising, calling for gun bans and more gun control laws, such as bringing back the lapsed “assault weapons ban.” President Donald Trump took a far different approach when he stated that it’s time to begin grappling with mental health reform, and I...

LAWRENCE COUNTY, Ky. -- A 14-year-old girl fired a 9mm pistol at someone looking to break into her home, according to the Lawrence County Constable Association and confirmed by the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office. On Sunday, two men in a white sedan pulled up to a home in Blaine. One got out of the car and repeatedly tried to gain entry by trying to kick in the doors. Inside the home were three teenage girls who responded by calling 911. They were home alone at the time with their father at work and their mother at the store. At one...

Former President Bill Clinton, who signed a since-expired ban on assault weapons in 1994, called for the prohibition to be reinstated in an editorial for Time Magazine on Wednesday. Noting that Congress’s failure to reinstate the ban since it expired in 2004 has largely been attributed to fear of electoral losses like those of the 1994 midterms, Clinton wrote that the political landscape would be friendlier to such a move today. “The 2018 elections, thanks to the passionate activism of citizen groups across the country, proved that it’s a different world now,” he wrote.
