Steven Crowder confronts an Antifa member whose rap sheet includes throwing tomatoes at Trump and assaulting cops. He called for Steven to be set on fire and milkshaked, so a visit was in order!

Today’s Cryptogram MT TMO VWM KO UT QOJVTFO W SGOUR RPWR PO QXJJ MTR WMMTZ PXU PTUR WHROL RPLOO AWZU. ---NJWGRGU You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram). Beware, the game is very addictive.

Two weeks before I started my teaching career, my mentor teacher asked if I had any questions. I replied, "I don't know enough to know what to ask." It was true; I had never student-taught, so without being in the classroom I had no idea what to expect, nor did I know what needed clarity. The same goes with hunting. The more you hunt, the more you establish a hunting program. How you prepare. What you take. How you handle adversity and the amount of risk you tolerate. Then there are the specific logistics pertaining to the quarry. You’ve hunted...

"In the late summer of 2009, as the recession-ravaged economy bled half a million jobs a month, the country seemed to lose its mind," The New York Times says, kicking off its 10th anniversary retrospective of the tea party movement. As you can imagine, the rest of the article continues in this vein, portraying conservatives who organized against Obamacare as a bunch of vulgar radicals. Yet even this kind revisionism wasn't enough for most contemporary leftists, who see everything through the prism of race. "A fundamental flaw in this analysis is there is no mention of race and how much...

In October 2014, Ezekiel Emanuel published an essay in the Atlantic called “Why I Hope to Die at 75.” Because Emanuel is a medical doctor and chair of the University of Pennsylvania’s department of medical ethics and health policy, as well as a chief architect of Obamacare, the article stirred enormous controversy. Emanuel vowed to refuse not only heroic medical interventions once he turned 75, but also antibiotics and vaccinations. His argument: older Americans live too long in a diminished state, raising the question of, as he put it, “whether our consumption is worth our contribution.” Emanuel was born into...

What kind of person would threaten and harass a rape crisis center? Here in Vancouver, we have the answer: trans activists. While it might sound odd to the uninitiated that those who claim to value ‘inclusivity’ and ‘acceptance’ would also be the same people who nail a dead rat to the door of a transition house for battered women, those of us following the gender identity debate closely are all too familiar with this type of occurrence.

At the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 26, Taylor Swift won the video of the year award for her latest song "You Need to Calm Down." It's a song that trashes anyone still dissenting from the LGBTQ agenda and begs them to "control your urges to scream about all the people you hate / 'Cause shade never made anybody less gay." The network news shows gushed over her leftist activism and the "Taylor Effect" they expect it to provide. ABC's George Stephanopoulos said, "she's doing it the way she does her music ... with intent and with intelligence." What...

If the left is so loving, tolerant and inclusive, why is it so driven by unquenchable bitterness? What fuels it to divide Americans? No, I'm not talking about the Democratic presidential candidates, though any one of them demonstrates the same theme. The American left is just gorged with angst and apparently on a mission to share its misery. The insanity emanating from leftists today is overwhelming. It used to be that when you came across an outrageous story in the news, you just shook your head and thought, "This is weird." But you found solace in realizing it was not...

This week, we were served some less-than-breaking news. Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., dropped out of the race for the Democratic nomination. If you've never heard of him, that's OK. Few Democrats have. He served in the Marine Corps for four tours in Iraq, but other than that, he hasn't done much. What's interesting is why he's being forced to drop out of the race. By any sane standards, Moulton is a thoroughly liberal Democrat. On every issue, he's more left-wing than President Barack Obama was on the day he left office. Three years ago, Moulton would have been considered a...

A leading progressive voice in the U.S. House of Representatives called on Thursday for intensifying the probe into President Donald Trump's behavior in office with the goal of determining whether to impeach him by year's end. Democratic Representative Ro Khanna, vice chair of the 98-member Congressional Progressive Caucus, told reporters he thought former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's multiple findings of obstruction by Trump formed the strongest basis for impeaching the Republican president. "I think it would be helpful if we were able to get through the process by the end of the year, before the political season really gets on...

It’s not looking good for Democrats. President Donald Trump now has a net-positive approval rating, and he's gaining support among the very groups Democrats are counting on in 2020, including minorities, young people, and urban voters. According to a recent Zogby Analytics poll, Trump’s overall approval rating has climbed to 51 percent, tying his highest approval ever recorded by the survey. Unsurprisingly, the poll found that an overwhelming 86 percent of Republicans support the president, a clear sign his base remains as united as ever. But it also revealed he’s making inroads among voters who traditionally have been more ambivalent...

During a campaign stop in New Hampshire on Friday, Joe Biden fabricated an emotional story about pinning a medal on a reluctant Navy captain in honor of his daring attempt to rescue a downed comrade in Afghanistan. Addressing a crowd of over 400, Biden recalled how the captain rappelled down a 60-foot ravine under fire to rescue the body of a fallen American soldier only to resist when then-vice president Biden tried to pin a Silver Star on his chest to honor his efforts. “He said, ‘Sir, I don’t want the damn thing!’ ” Biden shouted, recounting the apocryphal event....

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is capitalizing once more on his executive experience as Southbend mayor to boost his run for the White House as his campaign seem to have more and more difficulty breaking into the top tier of candidates all vying to be president in 2020. In an exclusive interview with CBS-affiliate television station, WCAX TV the Indiana mayor boasts his experience working on the ground with his constituents. He talked of how he “makes things happen” – being “responsible for everything from incident management to economic development.” In an apparent swipe at his rivals, Buttigieg, the first...

The Democratic National Committee will reject Iowa's plan for virtual caucuses — a decision that both complicates the Iowa Democratic Party's implementation of the 2020 presidential caucuses and threatens their very existence going forward. The decision was confirmed to the Des Moines Register late Thursday by two sources close to the conversations. It follows a meeting of the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee last week in San Francisco, where members voiced concerns about the security of the Iowa plan and the potential for hacking. Neither representatives for the DNC nor the state party immediately responded to requests for comment Thursday...

NEW YORK, NY—After Lawrence O'Donnell admitted to publishing a sensational, world-altering, but also totally fake story about Trump's finances and Russia, MSNBC confessed that it simply makes up all its reports about Trump using the patented Mad Libs system of making up random words and sticking them in blanks in pre-written sentences. The station's reporters sit around a conference table with a big Mad Libs story displayed on a large sheet of paper or whiteboard. Then they all take turns shouting out funny verbs, adjectives, people, places, and adverbs in order to make up a story about Donald Trump to...

CNN's anti-Trump anchor Don Lemon on Thursday night told Trump surrogates who attack the media and "lie all day long" that appearing on CNN "is a privilege" and "not a right." Following his colleague Chris Cuomo's "closing argument" that lambasted RNC spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany for claiming that President Trump doesn't "lie," Lemon began their nightly handoff by reading the Merrian-Webster's definition of the word "lie." "A lie is a lie all day long," Lemon said. "For these folks to say he doesn't lie or that you're maybe misunderstanding how he's communicating- that's rich." Lemon knocked Trump defenders who attack the...

Muslim political candidates do not get asked tough questions. This is a wrong headed attitude. Why do we act nice when it is time to be an adult? It is time to ask Muslims about the Islam they practice and how that will affect their service, if elected.

In Search Of A Cleaner Fuel, Bernie Sanders Experiments With Burning Giant Pile Of Tax Dollars WASHINGTON, D.C.—Bernie Sanders has revealed he and his team have been working on an alternative to gasoline: an innovative new idea of burning a giant pile of tax dollars instead of outdated, harmful fossil fuels. Sanders experimented with hundreds of different blends, from a mix of coins and dollars to pallets of hundred-dollar bills. But he finally settled on a giant pyramid of cash when he made his big breakthrough. "All you people care about is money," Sanders said as he tossed a specialty...
