It is time for another presidential election, so it is time for the media and their Democratic Party allies to begin their hysterical warnings about Russian “meddling.” This was their mantra in the 2016 election. It was their rationale for the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States. In their warped view, the American people did not truly want to elect an independent businessman who was a non-politician. It only happened because of insidious Russian manipulation. This ridiculous narrative led to congressional investigations, the two-year failed Mueller investigation and the waste of almost $40 million in taxpayer...

The real reason for Ric Grenell’s appointment as Acting DNI becomes clear. – As Democrats and their corrupt media toadies were scrambling to find some way, any way, to kill off the surging Bernie Sanders campaign, Acting DNI Ric Grenell was moving quickly behind the scenes to finally, at long last identify and rid the Trump Administration of all the Deep State snakes in the Intelligence Community.

Perhaps in normal times, Michael Bloomberg's presidential candidacy would have been destroyed by the charges of racism and sexism hurled at him by the other candidates at the Democrat debate on Wednesday in Las Vegas. However, as Conor Friedersdorf of the Atlantic magazine pointed out, in this era of the callout culture, most people will probably overlook those charges because they are so used to hearing them. Friedersdorf makes the case for this on Thursday's Atlantic website in "Why Callout Culture Helps Mike Bloomberg." The subtitle explains why he thinks the public is now so inured to such charges: "The...

There is a growing undercurrent in markets that say a battle this fall between self-described socialist Senator Bernie Sanders and President Donald Trump could be bad news for stock prices. As evidenced by the market’s strong run-up in 2020, investors have yet to exit stocks on fears of a big government Bernie winning the Oval Office. But his continued strong showing in debates and national polls may lead to some profit-taking sooner rather than later. The concern - Sanders shocks the market-friendly Trump. “There is definitely kind of fear [among clients] if you get a candidate like Sanders or say...

It is ironic that former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg is presenting himself as the balanced alternative to extreme socialists like Senator Bernie Sanders. In reality, when it comes to areas of great concern to Christian conservatives, Bloomberg has been anything but moderate. As noted by Catholic activist Bill Donohue with references to his tenure as mayor, “on two key social issues — abortion and religious liberty — the presidential candidate was a total bomb.”Donohue actually claims that “Bloomberg is one of the most radical pro-abortion politicians in American history.”Among the former mayor’s accomplishments was this: “Bloomberg's passion for...

The election in 2018 of Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro has shown that South Americans are pivoting away from socialism and towards free market economics. This is a unique time in Central and South American politics with many nations rotating away from China and Russia towards the United States and other free market nations. Nations that show a healthy respect for property rights, low taxes, low regulatory policies and respect for intellectual property rights should be rewarded with free trade agreements that benefit both economies. Right now, the United States is in a trade war with China with ongoing negotiations to...

Universities and colleges will be closed until the end of the Iranian week, February 29 in Tehran, Alborz Qazvin...

Several items in the news recently have caused Americans to question whether or not we can still expect equal justice under the law. President Trump has raised this question both in speeches as well as his tweets. This caused Attorney General Barr to suggest publicly that the president’s remarks were making it more difficult for him to do his job. Even a strong supporter of Mr. Barr could conclude that his objections only served to further reinforce Mr. Trump’s point. After all, if he and his department were in fact meting out justice in a fair and balanced way, there...

Communist Bernie Sanders won the Nevada Democrat party primary on Saturday. It wasn’t even close. Bernie won by at least 25 points over the next closest contender Joe Biden. This was good news for Bernie and global communists but not good for Democrats. Today MSNBC reported that in the 2020 NV primaries only 35% of first time caucus-goers voted, compared to 44% in 2016. This denotes a lack of enthusiasm, in general. The Democrat party today once again hemorrhaged Latino and black voters in Nevada.

I hate to say it, but I told you so. This was a no-brainer. Anyone with common sense could see it coming from 1,000 miles away. Mike Bloomberg is the Titanic-Hindenburg-"Poseidon Adventure" of the Democratic Party. For weeks, I've said Bloomberg is the worst public speaker ever. He's boring, whiny, elitist, arrogant, stuck-up and thoroughly unlikeable. Plus, he's really, really short. But "Mini Mike" beat even my low expectations during the Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas. But give Bloomberg credit. He just set an all-time record. He's the first gambler in history to lose $350 million in one night...

Here's a part: Let’s say you’re a progressive. In fact, let’s say you are a progressive gay man in a gay marriage, with two adopted children. The civil rights version of the country is everything to you. Your whole way of life depends on it. How can you back a party or a politician who even wavers on it? Quite likely, your whole moral idea of yourself depends on it, too. You may have marched in gay pride parades carrying signs reading “Stop the Hate,” and you believe that people who opposed the campaign that made possible your way of...

On January 14, 1963, Alabama’s Democratic Governor George Wallace delivered his inaugural address that included the infamous line, “In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.” As unimaginable as it seems to us now, that was the Democratic Party’s position just 57 years ago. While modern Democrats denounce the bluntness of Wallace’s speech, the sentiment behind it remains the key to their power. I’m accusing Democrats of being white supremacists,...

TEHRAN – Iran's health ministry raised Sunday the death toll from the new virus to 8 people in the Middle Eastern country, amid concerns that clusters there, as well as in Italy and South Korea, could signal a serious new stage in its global spread. Health ministry spokesman Kianoush Jahanpour told state TV that there were now 43 confirmed cases of the illness in Iran. The outbreak in Iran has centered on the holy city of Qom, where officials say travellers from China brought the new coronavirus. Iran reported its first case of the virus last Wednesday. Jahanpour added that...

Less than a quarter of adolescent men who have sex with men, or AMSM, have ever been tested for HIV despite being at higher risk for infection, study findings suggested. According to Brian Mustanski, PhD, director of the Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing at Northwestern University, and colleagues, an estimated 51.4% of adolescents aged 13 to 24 years with HIV are undiagnosed, compared with 14.5% of total HIV infections in the United States.

It won't be #NotMeUs, it will be #NotMeYou. Driven by Bernie having his millions, combined with proletariat grievance politics and jealousy, with the middle class caught in the middle. The backstory that leads to now: Bernie didn't have a full-time job until he was almost forty, worked sporadically until then, and apparently mooched off of others to survive. He then landed a mayorship near that age after a friend suggested he run for it. Since then, he has continued to live off of others (the taxpayers) and promised to take other people's money (through grievance politics) just as he has...
