Baylor University, a Baptist university in Texas, has arranged to have an "equity officer" investigate the motivations behind Young Americans for Freedom's decision to host conservative commentator Ben Shapiro on campus in November. According to a press release from the Baylor chapter of YAF, Gamma Alpha Ypsilon (GAY), an unofficial gay rights student group, is responsible for pushing the university to hold meetings about campus speakers. GAY was denied official charter status earlier this year following a May decision by the Board of Regents to uphold a ban on "advocacy groups which promote understandings of sexuality that are contrary to...

Political (in)correctness at its best.

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo made a rare admission on Wednesday night that former Vice President Joe Biden 'absolutely' engaged in Quid Pro Quo with Ukraine but insisted it wasn't for 'personal advantage ...

Hillary Clinton is an unwitting “MAGA” voter machine for President Trump according to Juanita Broaddrick. The woman who has claimed for decades that former President Bill Clinton raped her in 1978 is not shy about sparring with the Clinton family on Twitter. Her latest social-media jab came after Mrs. Clinton claimed Mr. Trump is a “clear and present danger” to the free world. “The president of the United States has betrayed our country,” the Democrat tweeted Wednesday in reference to Mr. Trump’s now public phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. “That’s not a political statement — it’s a harsh...

If Democrats capture the White House in 2020, the policies that created the disease-ridden tent slums taking over Los Angeles and San Francisco will start heading your way. Presidential hopeful Liz Warren insists that it’s wrong to ban living on the streets and in public parks. Bernie Sanders is calling for a 3% cap on annual rent hikes, the kind of poisonous rent-control law that deters new housing construction and worsens homelessness. As for Joe Biden, expect him to stick by the Obama administration’s policy that living on the street is a civil right. Never mind the harm street-dwellers inflict...

The look on Greta Thunberg’s face when Donald Trump breezed past her in a UN corridor this week was pure hatred. She looked as if she would like to strangle the president with her bare hands, although she has never met him. This is not a healthy emotion for a 16-year-old.

The now-released transcript of President Trump’s July phone call with Ukraine’s prez, Volodymyr Zelensky, shows just why Americans have so little faith in the news media. Turns out, the document shows none of the Trump abuses suggested in press accounts over the past few days — distortions that have already triggered Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “official impeachment inquiry.” Reports claimed Trump made a “promise” to “a foreign leader that was so disturbing it prompted the filing of a formal complaint,” as Vanity Fair reported.

What a difference a day could have made! Imagine if Nancy Pelosi had held her impeachment fire for 24 hours. Then she would have had the transcript of President Trump’s call with the president of Ukraine. Even a quick read would have told her it was not as advertised. She would have learned there was no threat from Trump and no talk of a quid pro quo involving foreign aid in exchange for an investigation of Joe Biden. By the time she finished the five pages, Pelosi would have realized that the media’s promise of a smoking gun was a...

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and longtime girlfriend Food Network host Sandra Lee announced Wednesday they are splitting up after 14 years together. "Over the recent past, we have realized that our lives have gone in different directions and our romantic relationship has turned into a deep friendship,” the couple said in a joint statement. “We will always be family and are fully supportive of each other and dedicated to the girls. Our personal lives remain personal and there will be no further comment." Rumors of a breakup started last May when Lee put the home she shared with Cuomo...

AOC dismisses polls showing disapproval of impeachment, suggests Dems should be willing to lose reelection Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., argued on Wednesday night that Congress should pursue the impeachment of President Trump despite its unpopularity among voters and "put our country first" before their jobs. "I personally do not believe in fulfilling my obligations to my job based on polling data," Ocasio-Cortez said on CNN. "I think we need to do our job and we've been elected and sent here by the people of the United States of America to fulfill all of our obligations under the Constitution of the...

Financial and precious metals expert Egon von Greyerz (EvG) says the signs abound that we are nearing the end of this global fiat money experiment while central bankers are befuddled. EvG explains, “The central banks are panicking. They don’t know what to do anymore. They are just starting to print money and with the euro on a daily basis. . . . Europe is starting QE again with $20 billion a month, but that’s nothing compared to what is coming. . . . The panic that started with central banks in the summer in late July and August was, to...

“A VERY DIFFERENT STORY” by Sharon Rondeau (Sep. 25, 2019) — On Wednesday night’s “Hannity,” investigative reporter John Solomon of The Hill said he has acquired “more than 450 pages” of documents from the State Department and Hunter Biden’s “legal team” demonstrating that the attorneys were working to stop an investigation launched by then-Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin into principals of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company where Hunter Biden was a Board member in 2014 and 2015. Hunter Biden is the son of former putative Vice President Joseph Biden, who is a 2020 Democrat presidential candidate. In April 2014, the...
