On January 31, President Trump declared the Covid-19 coronavirus a U.S. public health emergency and issued a ban on travel between the United States and China. Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden, speaking at an Iowa campaign event, severely criticized Trump’s action, calling it “hysteria and xenophobia.” Wuhan, China. It quickly became evident that the coronavirus was extraordinarily contagious and potentially deadly. A special problem has been that its spread is often asymptomatic. In the greatest and quickest successful cooperative national mobilization of government, industry, commerce, science, and medicine since World War II, the Trump Administration, made sure every logistical need...

[snip] HH: But Brian, that kind of asks, that begs the question. Your criticism in Hoax, a lot of is based in the coverage of the Mueller investigation and how they downplayed it and called it a Hoax. It turns out there was no collusion, and it turns out we know this week, you couldn’t have known it during writing of Hoax… BS: Yeah. HH: …that the primary sub-source of the Steele dossier is probably a Russian agent, correct? BS: I think there’s a fantasyland that Fox promotes about what you’re describing, about the Steele dossier and all of that...

Just another day on the protest circuit. A Black Lives Matter supporter faces attempted murder charges after allegedly driving her sedan through a crowd of southern California Trump supporters on Saturday. Tatiana Turner, 40, of Long Beach, California, plowed her car through the Yorba Linda crowd at around 3 p.m., leaving two demonstrators with non-life threatening injuries, Orange County police said. The incident occurred after violent clashes between BLM supporters and Trump supporters spurred police to declare an unlawful assembly and order the crowds to disperse. Counter-protesters crossed six-lane Imperial Highway and confronted the BLM protesters, who were participating in...

Joe Biden’s campaign wasted no time attempting to cash in on a bombshell report from The New York Times on Donald Trump’s federal income tax payments, which found the president paid no income taxes in 10 out of 15 years since 2000. A few hours after the Times released its findings, the Biden campaign’s fundraising website released new vinyl stickers that read, “I paid more income taxes than Donald Trump.” It also released an ad detailing the average income tax payments for elementary school teachers, firefighters, construction managers, and nurses. The ad ended with what Trump reportedly paid in 2017...

Consider the sea of youths rioting in the streets, often about an event for which they have few actual facts. It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that the Left has a large percentage of today’s youth in its clutches. To understand why so many young people are hopelessly deluded by a Leftist media onslaught, which invariably depicts America as evil, it’s useful to step back. In November 1990, 25 leading academics and media researchers gathered for a conference on, "The Impact of the Media on Children and the Family." One of the organizers commented, "Given the diversity of participants, the...

Once again the New York Times attempts to make an issue out of President Trump’s real estate holdings working as a tax shelter and reducing income taxes. In the article the Times completely obfuscates the way income taxes are strategically offset by depreciation, mortgage interest and the entire reason why real estate ownership is viewed as a business. John Carney writing for Breitbart gets it: […] So imagine our guy took out an $8 million mortgage at five percent, paying $2 million cash. Now he’s got to pay $400,000 in mortgage payments. He wants to make at least that much...

Washington is a cesspool of waste, fraud, and abuse. All taxpayers, to avoid having their income squandered in D.C., should go above and beyond the call of duty to minimize the amount they send to the IRS. Which is why today’s column is a bipartisan love fest for Donald Trump and Joe Biden – both of whom have been very aggressive in limiting their tax liabilities. Here are some details from the report in the New York Times about Trump’s leaked tax returns. Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his...

I’m a second generation Jewish-American, and I don’t just like President Donald J. Trump. I LOVE President Trump. The self-proclaimed “Hitler-epithet-gatekeeper” MSNBC’s Donny Deutsch has taken to the TV airways and declared of American Jews supporting President Trump, “How dare you? How dare you, with what our people have gone through in history, and you see a man who is a dictator. And once you give a man absolute power, he is possible of anything. And if you are a Jew in this country and you are supporting Donald Trump, you are not looking back at our history. And you...

It’s Time for Us Conservatives to Riot -------- Some clips -------------------------------- There are two components to our riot. The first is a riot at the ballot box. We need to ruthlessly eliminate all opposing candidates of either party. That means mobilizing to turn out votes and to vote viciously. Your nice city councilman who is kind and gentle and sort of squishy? He cut the ribbon at the petting zoo and send you emails about a library book drive? Yeah, he needs to go in favor of the bomb-thrower who wants to buy the cops a new armored personnel carrier....

Illinois State offensive coordinator Kurt Beathard quit his job Wednesday, over his apparent dislike for the Black Lives Matter movement’s intrusion into the locker room. On his way out, Beathard admittedly left a note on his office door reading “All Lives Matter to Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ,” the Pantograph reported. The coach was reportedly vexed over accusations and finger-pointing about who is responsible for tearing down a Black Lives Matter banner that had been erected in the school’s locker room. From his comments, it seems that Beathard, the son of four-time Super Bowl Champion Bobby Beathard, may have...

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert, on Monday called Florida's full reopening of bars and restaurants "very concerning," fearing it will spark more coronavirus outbreaks. The warning from Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, comes three days after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that his state was going into Phase 3 of reopening, lifting all restrictions on restaurants and bars.

I swear I was doing some work and I though CNN was on the TV..... Talking about how President Trump uses excuses for not making his tax returns available and then they played Joe Biden's new at attacking President trumps tax returns… And then reveled in attacking President Trump. Well, I had enough… Walked in to turn off the television… Only to find out it was FOX NEWS! Screw them! I'm DONE!! Kick this post if you agree!

"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." -- Blanche DuBois, A Streetcar Named Desire That was the iconic line in the famous play (and movie) by Tennessee Williams, by which poor Blanche effectively admitted to having lived a life of prostitution. So when Tim O'Brien used that same line about Donald Trump, you know he was doing it with malice aforethought, and with the unmistakable goal of making the same insinuation against the president. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

When a reporter or citizen asked Biden if he will be taking a drug test before the debate, Joe Biden has "no comment." Trump has been putting him under fire recently about taking one before the debate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6bhLuu9B7Y

A Texas Democrat county commissioner was arrested Thursday on charges that he and three associates committed mail-in ballot fraud in a 2018 primary election . Gregg County commissioner Shannon Brown – along with Marlena Jackson, Charlie Burns and DeWayne Ward – was indicted by a grand jury, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced. Brown won his March Democratic primary by a tally of 1,047 to 1,042. He received a much greater share of his support from absentee ballots, according to the Texas Tribune. Ballots for 38 voters, the report reads, accuse Brown and the others of “intentionally [causing] false information...

Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) claimed there are several plans to make sure President Trump is evicted from the White House next month if he loses to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. But Sanders refused to elaborate on the details. Sanders touched on the rampant wealth inequality, climate change, systemic racism, and “a whole host of problems,” before discussing the plans to remove Trump if he refuses to concede an electoral loss.

The Biden family apparently has a long list of criminal history, although, Joe Biden, himself does not. The strange thing about the criminal history is that not one Biden has served time in jail or prison for their offenses. They must have a really good lawyer. The list of family members consists of: Frank Biden – Brother, 66 Charges: DUI in Florida in 2003, Six months on probation; petty theft in Florida in 2003, dropped; driving with a suspended license in Florida in 2004, three months in rehab. Hunter Biden – Son, 50 Charges: Drug possession in New Jersey in...

Source: Townhall Media/Leah BarkoukisDid you hear about the large Christian gatherings in Washington, DC this weekend? Did you see the news reports about the mayhem? The looting? The vandalism? The calls to “Burn it down!”? Did you hear the speakers calling for acts of violence and destruction? Oh, you didn’t? That’s because tens of thousands of Christians did gather in DC this weekend, but they came to pray for the nation and repent for their sins. The two main events were The Return, which began Friday night and ended Saturday night, and Franklin Graham’s prayer march, which was held from...

Vice President Joe Biden's son was booted from the Navy Reserve because he tested positive for drugs, it was revealed on Thursday. A U.S. official told NBC News that Hunter Biden was kicked out of the Reserve earlier this year after he failed a drug test. The official said Biden failed the test in 2013, but he was not kicked out until Feb. 14 of this year. Senior U.S. officials told NBC News that Biden, 44, tested positive for cocaine. The Wall Street Journal first reported the incident.
