"To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child." -Cicero Unfortunately, with every election cycle, a growing percentage of the electorate know nothing of socialism's evil because of when they were born, when their teachers were born, and because of the gaslighting that has shut down all critical thought. Give your kids a crash lesson in the evils of communism at the "Communism at 'Peace'" website. Show them that even revered groups such as gays, native Americans (yes, native Americans), and unions were crushed under communism's thumb. Or if they have time for...

China has reacted warmly to Russian President Vladimir Putin's suggestion that the two nations could one day upgrade their strategic partnership to an official military alliance, thus uniting two of the United States' top global competitors. "You can imagine everything," Putin responded when asked during his discussion Thursday at the Valdai Discussion Club whether a military alliance could be imagined between China and Russia. The Russian leader explained that the reason such a pact had not already been forged had nothing to do with reservations on either side, but a lack of necessity. "We have always assumed that our relations...

Thought I'd report what I've observed in Manhattan today. Early voting started and at one particular location, on the Upper East Side, the line to vote has encircled the entire building from around 10 a.m. until now - so, two street and two avenue blocks, entirely. Yes, there is "social distancing" but this is unbelievable (someone said it takes about 5 hours to vote). On the assumption that the voting pattern for the neighborhood holds, one has to wonder what is motivating these people, their candidate (really??) or pure hatred of POTUS? In any event, I did not expect this.

No way we can compete with that. We can only thank God for term limits. If you all can't acknowledge his pied-piper-like talent you're naive. It's Sam Cooke/Tom Brady. Timing and speech inflection. Suave, the looks and sophistication. Plus he kept his pants on around of all those women who wanted to take theirs off in front of him. Didn't have to work hard and didn't want to. He just had it whereas Trump does 3 rally a day-hard work.

The time and resources President Trump’s campaign has been pouring into the battleground state of Michigan appear to be paying off, according to two new polls. Zia Poll surveyed “2851 likely voters and newly registered voters who have never voted in an election” and found Trump leading Joe Biden, 49 percent to 45 percent, for a four-point lead. Respondents “were almost evenly split” about whether Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) or Trump better handled the coronavirus pandemic response. The poll also found Biden with a “slight” lead among black and Hispanic voters. Painter Communications analyzed the poll and told Breitbart...

SAN ANTONIO—A man who was arrested in 2018 amid allegations he drugged and sexually assaulted two women whom he served while working at Viva TacoLand is now suing his accusers after the criminal charge was dismissed earlier this month. Dillonger Hackett was arrested in April 2018 after a woman and her girlfriend told officers Hackett drugged their drinks at Viva Tacoland where Hackett worked as a bartender. One of the women told police she woke up in their room at Hotel Emma and recalled Hackett sexually assaulting her. Hackett spent more than 90 days behind bars before he was released...

Thanks to three brave Americans, we now know that Joe Biden has long misled the public about his involvement with his family’s foreign business entanglements while he served as vice president. At considerable personal risk, former Biden family business partners Tony Bobulinski and Bevan Cooney, and computer shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac, have come forward with tens of thousands of primary-source documents — internal corporate records, emails, and text messages — detailing years of business dealings that centered on trading on the Biden name. This material suggests that, despite Joe Biden’s insistence that he knew nothing about his family’s...

Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs ripped Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham Friday saying he’s “betrayed President [Donald] Trump” and not done his job investigating the Obama administration for spying. “Graham has betrayed President Trump at almost every turn, he has betrayed the American people and his oath of office,” Dobbs said Friday on “Lou Dobbs Tonight.” “He has done absolutely nothing to investigate Obamagate except to tell everyone stay tuned, time and time again, stay tuned.”

Hillary Clinton is sticking with her conviction that the 2016 presidential election was not conducted legitimately, saying the details surrounding her loss are still unclear. “There was a widespread understanding that this election [in 2016] was not on the level,” Clinton said during an interview for the latest episode of The Atlantic’s politics podcast, The Ticket. “We still don’t know what really happened.” “There’s just a lot that I think will be revealed. History will discover,” the Democratic Party’s 2016 presidential nominee continued. “But you don’t win by 3 million votes and have all this other shenanigans and stuff going...

A dispute has erupted over a mandatory vaccine program for employees of the University of Virginia Health System because officials are requiring a worker to follow their interpretation of the Bible's requirements. The worker would rather follow his own beliefs, not theirs. The employee, whose name was not released, has submitted four requests for a religious accommodation to his bosses' order to be vaccinated for the flu. He says his Christian beliefs don't allow it, citing biblical instructions not to be defiled with "harmful" substances. He "cannot accept any vaccination that is derived from aborted fetal tissue, nor contribute to...

NEW YORK (AP) — The one thing most likely to conjure nightmares of the 2016 election night for opponents of President Donald Trump is the Needle. A graphic on The New York Times’ website, the Needle measured in real time the probability of victory for Trump or Hillary Clinton as votes were counted. Its steady movement triggered anxiety for Clinton supporters, who repeatedly refreshed the page, and elation for Trump fans. The Needle won’t be making a reappearance on Nov. 3,

He don’t need no stinking license. A man pulled over for allegedly speeding was discovered to have a whopping eight separate lifetime driving bans, reported Canadian news website the Orangeville Banner. When cops ran a driver’s license check on Toronto resident Timothy Fraser after halting him Oct. 21, they discovered the steering scofflaw’s checkered past. “I’ve never seen that many. This is the first time I’ve seen someone with eight,” Dufferin Ontario Provincial Police Constable Shannon Gordanier told the Banner. “The risk of driving and putting other people in harm’s way is definitely not worth it. There is a reason...

A friend has taken up the cause of springing Ghislaine Maxwell from her Brooklyn cellhole, claiming she is on the verge of starvation and humiliated every day by her prison-issued paper clothes. Brian Basham is a close family friend who wants federal authorities to grant the British socialite bail while she waits to be tried for sex trafficking next summer, the Telegraph reported.

Basham insists Maxwell has lost 25 pounds in the four months...

During the final presidential debate Thursday night, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden claimed that the United States "had a good relationship with Hitler before he in fact invaded Europe." Biden appeared to be attempting to make a larger point about President Trump's working relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un, though in context it left many observers scratching their heads.
