We could have rebuilt our country twice that have produced only more terrorism, more death, more suffering. Imagine if that money had been spent right here in our home. We've totally destabilized the Middle East. And if you think about it, $6 trillion and it was far better 15 years ago.". (Click link for video)

    "The ends must justify the means — the only question is what means are necessary." —Saul Alinsky Why do the news anchor ladies of CNN, Erin Burnett, Kate Bolduan, always look so depressed on the air? They never smile. Their faces always register something between grave concern and hysteria. Is it the network’s cratered ratings? The pending hostile takeover by Paramount / Skydance (led by conservative David Ellison)? Too much botox, zombifying the small facial muscles? Or is it self-loathing from being compelled to slant everything they report on in the direction of a lie? There does seem to be...

    He’s Bill de Bogotá. Aging hipster former Mayor Bill de Blasio recently gallivanted down to Colombia with his terminally online new girlfriend and an alleged Chinese Community Party-linked lefty group to denounce American imperialism, The Post has learned. The under-the-radar trip in January saw de Blasio join an “emergency” conference — Nuestra América — to defend democracy and peace in the Americas after the controversial US capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro that month. The ex-Hizzoner’s far-left trek drew disbelief and derision from many New York City political insiders, particularly because de Blasio jetted off along with Code Pink —...
