    Today's socialist democrats are openly expressing their hatred for America, our founding, our history, our constitution, our free economy, our right to keep and bear arms, our private property rights, our rights to accumulate wealth, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc, in fact, they hate freedom itself. They want to curtail our rights, disarm us, take our wealth and our private property, strip away our freedom and replace it with socialism. Hmm... that's the same thing the socialist USSR did. The national socialist Germany did. Imperial Japan did. Socialist China did (after the free world saved their bacon, btw)....
  • Sexual Assault Allegations Against (General) Hyten Lack Merit

    Heidi Brown, a retired U.S. Army major general, argued sexual assault allegations Gen. John Hyten (nominated to be the next Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) lack merit in a piece for the Wall Street Journal published Thursday. "Army Col. Kathryn Spletstoser's accusations are graphic and nauseating. But they are discredited by evidence," Brown writes in the Journal. "I have reviewed the written record of the case, including a redacted report from the Army Inspector General Office, and spoken with people involved. I served at Stratcom headquarters in Omaha, Neb., with both Gen. Hyten and Col. Spletstoser, including...

    Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said this week that Republicans would push to repeal ObamaCare if they win back the House and President Trump is reelected in 2020. "If we can get the House back and keep our majority in the Senate, and President Trump wins reelection, I can promise you not only are we going to repeal ObamaCare, we're going to do it in a smart way where South Carolina will be the biggest winner," Graham said in an interview with a South Carolina radio station. "We've got to remind people that we're not for ObamaCare." Graham's repeal bill, introduced...

    Bernie Sanders said it’s a “good thing” when people have to wait in line for food. Meanwhile, in the real world, this is what it’s actually like to wait in line for food in Venezuela. Bernie Sanders said that it’s a “good thing” when people have to wait in line for food.These are his exact words:“It’s funny, sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is, cause people are lining up for food. That’s a good thing! In other countries people don’t line up for food: the rich get the food and the poor starve to death.”You can see him...

    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. ...

    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...

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 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...
