The usual race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson have been conspicuously silent this election cycle. Any thoughts on why?

President Donald Trump on Saturday announced the signing of an executive order to protect both the fracking and oil and gas industries following former Vice President Joe Biden’s pledge to “transition from the oil industry.” “Just signed an order to protect fracking and the oil and gas industry,” the president wrote on Twitter. “This means JOBS, low energy bills, and continued AMERICAN ENERGY INDEPENDENCE! Sleepy Joe would BAN fracking and destroy American energy jobs! He has NO clue!!” Just signed an order to protect fracking and the oil and gas industry. This means JOBS, low energy bills, and continued AMERICAN...

Trump leads the final Selzer poll of Iowa by 7 points, 48 to 41. That's the same margin as their final poll four years ago, which wound up foreshadowing Trump's Midwestern sweep

Do you have a flashlight, spare batteries and some duct tape stashed away for home emergencies like power outages or hurricanes? Of course you do. How about 100 ounces of silver coins? If not, you should. In an extreme social or infrastructure breakdown — where banks, ATMs and store scanners are offline — silver coins might be the only way to buy groceries for your family. This is one of many reasons why sales of silver coins and bullion are set to skyrocket. The upcoming election and its aftermath could witness social unrest that would make this summer’s chaos look...

My fav Halloween movie has always been The Haunting, 1963, derived from Shirley Jackson’s novel, The Haunting of Hill House. My father encouraged me to read the novel when I was pretty young, 12 or so. I do think it greatly influenced me, as I went on to believe the house was haunted. I now think that was probably teenagers imagination. But the movie was so well done. It very much is an art form. What is yours?

The son of the man expected by many to be America's next President abandoned a laptop containing a treasure trove of top-secret material, including his father's private emails and mobile phone numbers, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. In an astonishing lapse, Hunter Biden chose to protect his MacBook Pro computer – crammed with what an IT expert last night described as a 'national security nightmare' and 'classic blackmail material' – with a single, simple password: Hunter02. Remarkably, the 50-year-old businessman and self-confessed drug addict took the machine to a back-street IT store in Delaware in April 2019 to get...

The cryptic email was found in a trove of documents currently being reviewed in a joint effort by District Herald and the Nationalist Review, provided to us on Friday by a source who obtained them from former Mayor Rudy Giuliani. In an email on June 18, 2010, to President Bill Clinton’s deputy assistant and councilor, Doug Band, Joe Biden’s son discussed seeing the former president in Arkansas and being invited on a trip.“Hope you’re doing well. I wanted to follow up on a conversation I had with President Clinton when I saw him in Arkansas last month. He expressed interest...

Pakistan court validates ‘marriage’ between 13-year-old Catholic girl and Muslim kidnapper Her ‘husband’ is 44. KARACHI, Pakistan, October 30, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – A 13-year-old Catholic girl who was abducted and raped by a Muslim man saw her “marriage” to him validated in court on Tuesday, according to the Catholic Herald.  That outlet reported:  Arzoo Raja had been taken from outside her home on October 13 and two days later, as the family searched for her, police announced that they had received marriage papers claiming that Arzoo was 18 and that she had converted to Islam to marry her 44-year-old abductor, Ali Azhar.  Despite the fact that the family obtained legal representation...

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald quit his job this morning. In a bizarre, ironic, and disturbing commentary on trends in modern media, the celebrated reporter was forced to resign after writing a story criticizing both the Biden campaign and intelligence community — only to have it spiked by the editors of The Intercept, the news outlet he co-founded six years ago with the aim of preventing pretty much this exact situation. “The irony,” Greenwald says, “is that a media outlet I co-founded, and which was built on my name and my accomplishments, with the purpose of guaranteeing editorial independence, is...

In testimony before a Senate hearing this week Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg both admitted that they had no evidence that the New York Post story about Hunter Biden's laptop computer was Russian disinformation. "Why then did you censor the story and block the Post's account?" Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc) wanted to know. "I think we were hacked by a Russian agent," Dorsey replied. "Let me remind everyone that the Post hasn't been the only account that has been censored by our platform. Numerous conservative voices have been silenced or muted on Twitter for many years...

Ain't memory lane a real KITA sometimes. Sixteen years ago, almost to the day, I was engaging in a running duel with the Managing Editor of the Washington Post, and one of his imbecile reporters whose name I have mercifully forgot. The ugly story is contained in my "j'accuse" letter that was hand delivered, subsequently posted on the Swift Vets site. Free Republic picked it up there. It's long but (I think) immensely relevant (spooky, almost) to current events in re: Trump v. Biden election. I hope you may agree. Meanwhile, I am gloating that my "hex" on the Post...

The state Constitution says emergency proclamations expire after 60 days, but Hawaii now is in its eighth month of lockdown. Groups nationwide have filed lawsuits against the coronavirus emergency orders declared by their governors. Some have been successful. But what about Hawaii, whose governor just yesterday extended his state-of-emergency proclamation by another month, till the end of November? Can Hawaii’s seemingly interminable state lockdown, first ordered in March, ever be overturned in court? The Grassroot Institute webinar held Friday, Oct. 23, discussed the trends of lawsuits across the nation and whether they offer any hope for Hawaii. Our special guests...

Apparently we’ve found the lone celebrity Chelsea Handler has yet to bed. It’s Lil Wayne. Thursday the rapper tweeted support for President Trump’s proposed economic strategy for black Americans, The Platinum Plan, and included a picture of himself smiling next to the president. As of this writing, Ms. Handler has not publicly reminded Lil Wayne of her definition of blackness or offered him the privilege of banging a 45-year-old white Thot. It appears Ms. Handler has left the scolding of Lil Wayne to her former black f–k boy 50 Cent. The G-Unit rapper who drew Handler’s rebuke for bashing Joe...

The Democrat lead dropped another 25K to settle around 90K. For reference, Democrats lead Republicans by 96K in the 2016 early vote, so Republicans are currently ahead of their 2016 pace by 6K votes. Since all polls show Republicans predominantly preferring Election Day voting, Trump should be in a good position in Florida. Tomorrow, many counties are closed and looking at the vote split I would not expect many changes from these numbers so things will probably settle right around the 2016 margin. Looking at County level data, Republican turnout is about 4% light in the early voting in Orlando/Jacksonville...

The complaints from President Donald Trump and his allies have been growing louder as the election approaches: Why isn’t the mainstream media covering the Hunter Biden laptop story? Trump and his allies say there is evidence of corruption in emails and documents allegedly found on a laptop belonging to Democrat Joe Biden’s son. They say those and other documents show that Hunter Biden used his father’s influence to enrich himself through business deals in Ukraine and China, and that his father not only facilitated that, but may have benefited financially. But the Wall Street Journal and Fox News — among...
