Montana is on track to become the 17th state to restore Constitutional Carry. It will probably do so in 2021. Constitutional Carry means most people can carry, concealed or openly, most of the time in most public places, without any special governmental permission or permit. It was the state of affairs in the young United States when the Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791. In 2020, Republican Greg Gianforte won the race for Governor in Montana. Greg is the first Montanan Republican governor since 2005.Greg won with 54.4% of the vote to his Democrat challenger's 41.6%.The former governor, Democrat...

"God damn America!"—nuanced, yeah: like a punch in the nose! When it comes to attempting to explain away the unexplainable, nothing's more hackneyed than claiming the offensive statement was "taken out of context." To be sure, Jason Johnson trotted out that cliché while guest-hosting MSNBC's AM Joy Sunday morning in excusing Rev. Jeremiah Wright's infamous screaming "not God Bless America! God Damn America!" But give Eddie Glaude credit. The Princeton prof and frequent MSNBC guest came up with a somewhat more original excuse: critics of Wright's damnation of America fail to understand the reverend's "theological nuance." Right. There's "nuance" in...

President Donald Trump is not trying to simply undermine President-elect Joe Biden's presidency, nor is he primarily trying to position himself for a 2024 presidential run, as many have suggested. No, Trump's No. 1 goal is to overturn the results of the 2020 election. It's time for Biden and other Democratic leaders to describe his actions in the most forceful and universally understandable language possible. And that means, in this case, calling them part of an attempted coup to illegally overthrow the Biden presidency. In the past few days, several experts have noted that Trump's actions do not technically constitute...

A visual demonstration of Democrats in action.

President Donald Trump’s legal team distanced themselves from attorney Sidney Powell on Sunday evening, noting that she did not represent the president, either as part of the team or in his personal capacity. In a statement attributed to Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, and Trump legal adviser Jenna Ellis, the team said: “Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team. She is also not a lawyer for the President in his personal capacity.” Gen. Michael Flynn, a former Trump administration official, said lawyer Sidney Powell is “staying the course” and will...

In the 2020 election, the far left failed miserably. At the presidential level, Donald Trump added 11 million votes to his 2016 total. In other races, the GOP had a particularly good Election Day as Republicans gained control of at least a dozen U.S. House seats, a governorship, three state legislative bodies and probably retained control of the U.S. Senate, although the answer will not be known until the outcome of the two Georgia races are decided in January. Some House Democrats were furious with the far-left “Squad” gaining control of the airwaves and promoting such messages as “Defund the...

Last week, in her MSNBC show, Deadline, Nicolle Wallace said "right wing media" like Fox are creating an "alternate reality" for their viewers. Wallace said, "You now have a true, a true alternate reality[.] ... I mean, they are pumping flagrant lies into millions of viewers. They're interviewing lunatics." Wallace's guest, Al Sharpton (of Tawana Brawley hoax fame), said, "We're now in a nation where facts don't matter. You make up facts. And not only do you have an alternative reality — how do you debate someone that is dealing with a totally fictitious premise?" This talk of the alternate,...

[Note: This piece contains heavy video content.] In California, the natives are getting tired of all the COVID BS. – Some Californians are getting a bit tired of all the nonsense, as Gov. Gavin Newsom orders public officials to go into grocery stores and confiscate all turkeys weighing more than 10 lbs. to discourage big Thanksgiving gatherings and vainly pleads with police chiefs and sheriffs to enforce his 10 p.m. statewide curfew order. In Huntington Beach south of Los Angeles, thousands of Californians took to the streets Sunday night for a post-curfew peaceful protest.

It was 2 p.m. on Tuesday, what would normally have been a busy weekday as Thanksgiving neared. Alex Weisman, a stage and television actor, stepped off a train at a subway station on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and was punched twice in the face by a man who then fled. The assault injured Mr. Weisman’s skull in two places and tore one of his retinas. “There was nothing else I could have done to protect myself,” Mr. Weisman, 33, said on Friday. “I am shaken by this.” The day after Mr. Weisman was attacked, a man was shoved onto the...

Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein has listed 21 Republican senators who he says have 'privately expressed' their 'extreme contempt' for Donald Trump. Bernstein called out Trump in a series of tweets on Sunday and named the 21 GOP senators who have expressed disdain for 'his fitness to be President of the United States'. 'Many if not most of these individuals, from what I have been told, were happy to see Donald Trump defeated in this election as long as the Senate could be controlled by the Republicans,' Bernstein said during an appearance on CNN.

On this date in 1927, the anti-clerical Mexican government made the emblematic martyr of the Cristero War.... Miguel Pro‘s dying cry, “Viva Cristo Rey!” — “Long live Christ the King!” — was a refrain of Cristeros, anti-government guerrillas who in the late 1920’s fought the revolutionary Mexican government’s attempts to forcibly restrict the power of the Catholic Church. That conflict had been brewing for years, an outgrowth of Mexico’s own complex history of colonization and development — measures to restrict the church’s size, wealth, and social reach had been mooted and sometimes implemented well back to the middle of the...

Ah! Now I see what the BLM crowd meant by “re-imagining how law enforcement works in this country.” And here we were all worrying – unnecessarily it turns out - that they meant replacing cops with social workers. Fear not comrades: they had something altogether different in mind. Something a little more…Schutzstaffel-ly; and we’re all being deputized.Oregon Gov. Kate Brown wants residents to call the police on their neighbors over violations of the state’s latest coronavirus shutdown, which includes a six-person limit on in-home gatherings.The temporary “freeze,” which went into effect Wednesday, restricts indoor at-home and social gatherings to six...

American cities are entering a period of chaos. Protests and riots have dominated headlines, but beneath the surface, activists are launching an unprecedented campaign to overthrow the traditional justice system and replace it with a new model based on a radical conception of social justice. In Seattle, where this campaign may be most advanced, activists have crafted a narrative about police brutality, mass incarceration, and punitive justice that leads to a natural sequence of solutions: “abolish the police,” “divest from prisons,” and “defund the courts.” Over the past three decades, the city’s radical-progressives have seized control of municipal government—with the...

Full title: TWO MILLION Americans ignored CDC guidelines to travel by plane on Friday and Saturday: Dr Fauci urges nation to do 'risk-benefit assessment' before Thanksgiving travel as crowds keep flooding airports Two million people traveled by plane in the United States on Friday and Saturday despite the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) issuing new guidelines last week...With the coronavirus surging out of control, the nation's top public health agency pleaded with Americans on Thursday not to travel for Thanksgiving and not to spend the holiday with people from outside their household. Despite those warnings, 1,019,836 passengers flew...

When Republicans and Democrats actually agree on something that doesn’t compromise their principles, it better get done. So why are we continuing to pour billions of dollars down the drain on the wasteful F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program? The 2020 budget called for $2.1 billion, and bizarrely included more F-35s than the Trump administration actually requested. The U.S. government already has 600 F-35s. The JSF program is the most expensive weapons system in history. When Lockheed Martin landed a contract with the government in 2001 to produce the F-35s, the fighter jet was supposed to be an affordable replacement for...

As the fight over electoral votes continues, the stakes are high for conservatives. Countless writers have done a good job explaining this, from John Zmirak to Stella Morabito. But the stakes are even higher for Democrats and liberals. Let's think about why. All signs point to an increasing amount and authenticity of evidence for voter fraud. While I have many criticisms of liberals, I can say one thing about them that hints of praise. Discounting corrupt leaders at the top, most liberals treasure their sense of righteousness as the most important motivating factor in what they do. As horrible as...

Bay Area tech icon Keith Rabois announced he's leaving San Francisco permanently - and he is criticizing the city on his way out. Rabois, an early executive at PayPal, Square, LinkedIn and more, told Fortune he is "moving imminently" because he's finding it "impossible to stay" in San Francisco. After living in the Bay Area for 20 years, he said he plans on moving to Florida. "I think San Francisco is just so massively improperly run and managed that it's impossible to stay here," Rabois told Fortune. He told the publication other friends in his peer group have done the...

An overlooked executive order could be the undoing of the left. BY CALLUM WOOD • NOVEMBER 23 The Trump administration and its lawyers continue to expose election fraud in swing states across America. As the vast trove of evidence piles up, commentators are considering the legal weaponry the Trump team might deploy next. On Thursday, November 19, Sky News commentator Alan Jones highlighted one potential defense for the Trump administration. It comes in the form of an executive order signed over two years ago on Sept. 12, 2018. Order 13848 gives the Department of Justice broad prosecutorial powers against foreign...

Hundreds of thousands of "votes lost, " a sure indicator of fraud, even though those votes are not being recounted, nor are there legal challenges. Based on Internet blogger "Pede's" analysis of "votes switched" from Trump to Biden, and of "votes lost" (thrown away) -- mostly votes for Trump, and my own analyses to detect imaginary "votes added" for Biden, I have decided to continue examining states where everylegalvote.com says ballot fraud occurred in the 2020 presidential election. "Pede" identified two states -- Virginia and Minnesota -- where there were hundreds of thousands of "votes lost, " a sure indicator...
