"She's petrified because she doesn't want to go to jail." Remember the embarrassingly schmaltzy 60 Minutes segment in which Obama and Hillary sat down with a swooning Steve Kroft and talked about what wonderful friends they had become? It was about the biggest load of crap I’ve ever seen on a show that specializes in it, and Kroft must have felt like one of those corporate PR guys who records a video “interview” with the CEO that’s completely scripted and consists of nothing but softballs. It was all part of a very determined effort following the bitter primary campaign of...

As a Democratic presidential candidate, you know you are in tough shape when other Democrats are publicly calling your actions as Secretary of State worse than Watergate. Appearing on Breitbart News on Sirius XM, pollster and strategist former President Jimmy Carter, Pat Caddell, told host Stephen Bannon, just that. “This is the greatest scandal in the history of the United States,” he said. “They all ought to be indicted. This is worse than Watergate.” If you are unfamiliar with Watergate, it is probably the most infamous scandal that is attributed to President Richard Nixon, and caused the former president to...

Taking direct aim at Hillary Clinton. Interrupted by Agitators. Editor's note: Below is the video to Donald Trump's full speech at the Faith & Freedom Coalition Conference held June 10, 2016 in Washington, DC. 

The terror massacre at a packed Orlando nightclub reverberated across the presidential campaign trail Sunday, as the candidates condemned the deadliest shooting in U.S. history -- and Donald Trump ripped President Obama and Hillary Clinton for avoiding the term “radical Islam” in doing so. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee went so far as to say Obama should “step down” for not using the term and Clinton should “get out of this race” if she won’t either. “If we do not get tough and smart real fast, we are not going to have a country anymore,” Trump said in a statement....

When Libertarian candidate for president Gary Johnson was asked about his stance on polygamy, he said, “It is personal choice” and up to the states to decide their stance on the issue. Appearing on Fox News’s “Special Report” on Monday, Daily Caller Editor-In-Chief Tucker Carlson said to Johnson, “I’ve got to give you the libertarian test. Now you’ve said as a libertarian, you believe that people ought to be able to make personal decisions without interference from the state which is why you support gay marriage. And yet, there are many, many millions of people in this country whose religion...

Sen. Jeff Sessions reacted to the news of the Orlando nightclub shooting after officials identified the attack as an act of terror, and urged the United States to be vigilant about “Islamic extremism.” “Well, it certainly looks like another one of the extremist attacks, Islamic extremism,” Sessions said pointing to the radical element in the religion.

On and off today during cable news shows, we may have heard some anchors bring up a few names of those who just endorsed Hillary. But why did they refer to them as Democrats of high stature and integrity? Did anyone laugh/pause when they heard it? Joe Biden and Pocahontas? Seriously? those were major endorsements? What if Al Sharpton endorses Hillary? Will the anchors at MSNBC all start rubbing their tingling legs, like Chris Matthews? Liberal Media, we are not buying any of your stories about some "Major Endorsement" of Hillary, there aren't any credible and honest Democrats left!

“I’ll vote for Donald Trump, absolutely, not a question,” Welch said in the interview. “I’d vote for just about any human being against Hillary Clinton in this election.” Welch said it’s not too late for Trump to convince skeptical Americans that he is better than Clinton. "Show the American people how he's going to create jobs, a better economy and a better life for all of them," Welch said. "Get back on the real issues,” he said. “I am behind the Republican candidate. Any Republican candidate,” he said. “I can't have eight more years of this. I don't want eight...

“Overthrow the establishment. Now's the time,” said the CNBC senior contributor who also hosts a syndicated radio-talk show. "Overthrow the establishment," urged Kudlow, who was a former economic adviser to President Ronald Reagan. “We need a different model. In other words, zero interest rates, or negative interest rates, and tons and tons of government spending for all these G-7 countries have not worked,” he said. “We have global stagnation, a virtual global recession. And we have virtually no inflation,” he said “Something's got to change here,” he said. He offered his own solution to right the sinking U.S. economic ship....

<p>According to Gallup, Americans' satisfaction levels with the way things are going in the U.S. are low and President Obama will be leaving office with a lower overall satisfaction average of any president since Jimmy Carter.</p> <p>Only 29% of Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S. according to the Gallup poll conducted during the first week of June.</p>

Much has been made about Donald Trump's temperament. They say he's unfit to hold office and shouldn't be trusted with the nuclear codes, despite the fact he was against the Iraq War and that the nuclear codes aren't just handed over to any sitting president without due process. It seems the media is reluctant to address Hillary Clinton's temperament and her scandalous history, while they continue to dig into Trump University and Trump's business dealings. To go where mainstream media won't, let's take a look at Hillary's dubious past and her questionable temperament.

In his address to the Faith & Freedom summit Friday afternoon Donald Trump ripped Hillary Clinton, calling her "as crooked as they come," for refusing to use the term 'radical Islam.' Trump said the inability to recognize the term makes her unfit for the presidency. Code Pink heckled him, watch Trump's response:

Coal production in the first three months of 2016 was 173 million short tons, the lowest quarterly level in the United States since a major coal strike in the second quarter of 1981. Among the regions tracked by the EIA, the Powder River Basin (PBR) in Montana and Wyoming saw the largest decline both in terms of absolute tonnage and as a percentage of the previous quarter.Demand for coal has dropped off steeply as natural gas becomes the primary fuel source for electrical generation. Electricity generation accounts for more than 90% of domestic coal use, but environmental regulations have caused...

Never say Hillary and Company didn't warn us. They want to ban guns. Period. End of story. Here is Bonnie Schaeffer, a member of the Platform Committe of the DNC saying what she really believes...

But we don’t. Instead of explaining our candidate, rallying behind him, and jumping aboard the Trump train, we call him a racist and jump on the politically correct, anti-Trump bandwagon -- which, by the way, is engineered and steered by the Democrat-Media Complex. No rational being can possibly expect that bandwagon to take us all the way to the White House. And herein lies the rub -- it is the very ineptitude of Republicans articulating our principles and policies and their failure, once elected, to implement the policies promised during campaigns, coupled with all of the politically-correct backtracking they do...

Sen. Marco Rubio is sticking by his former attack line that Donald Trump can't be trusted with the nuclear codes, despite having previously come around to support Trump as the nominee. In an interview with The Weekly Standard, Rubio reaffirmed his statement from February — when he was still in the throes of a nasty primary battle — that America can't give "the nuclear codes of the United States to an erratic individual." "I stand by everything I said during the campaign," Rubio said on Thursday. Rubio's wobbly support of Trump comes after the presumptive Republican nominee's comments about Judge...

WASHINGTON -- In the eighth year of Barack Obama's presidency, the liberal national news media continue their shameful cover-up of his failed economic policies. The latest and most stunning example of the media's duplicitous shell game came last Friday, the day the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its monthly jobs report. The Washington Post ran a front-page story, written the day before, under the headline "Job market, at long last, shows signs of resilience." The story's dubious lead said: "For the first time since the recession ended, America's job market has been firing on all cylinders: Workers...

Professional Republicans in the #NeverTrump movement continue to oppose the presumptive nominee selected by the GOP electorate and are now floating strategies to throw the election to Hillary Clinton. However, an examination of Clinton’s campaign promises reveals that Republicans who are willing to thwart Trump in favor of Clinton will be complicit in electing a President who would seek to bring about the complete and, possibly irreversible, dissolution of our nation’s borders. A review of Clinton’s stated positions on the issue suggests she is perhaps the most extreme candidate on immigration ever to run for the office of the U.S....

5 reasons Donald Trump will be victorious in November The issues Trump has chosen resonate with voters Trump has shown he is a master of emotional appeal

...an economist would say this happens because of inefficiency, and the failure of manufacturing is all part of the “creative destruction” that is an essential engine of capitalism. But what I have seen here in the heartland of the United States is only the destruction; the creation takes place offshore. Making a god of efficiency denigrates the much more important goal of effectiveness. Efficiency (as Peter Drucker writes) is doing the thing right, while effectiveness is doing the right thing. Of course, ideologues firmly believe that effectiveness is purely automatic: Progress is inevitable! But that is not the reality I...
