  • Trump Implicitly Suggests That His DOJ Would Take Down Amazon For Antitrust

    Techdirt ^ | 06/14/2016 | Mike Masnick
    There was a fair bit of coverage on Monday of the news that the Donald Trump campaign had removed the press credentials from the Washington Post because the campaign was upset with the Washington Post's coverage of the campaign. While it got a lot of attention, it was quickly pointed out that Trump has revoked or barred at least six other news outlets from receiving press passes, including Politico, the Huffington Post, the National Review, Buzzfeed and the Daily Beast. This issue is being discussed in lots of media circles. But what interested me much more was buried deeper in...
  • The Intellectual Case for Trump III: Yes, Virginia, Trump is Conservative

    "How Donald Trump Compares to George W. Bush Trump isn’t a pure movement conservative. But this is not a new problem for conservatives. William F. Buckley Jr. himself said George W. Bush was “conservative, but not a conservative,” and no one complained he’d destroy the conservative movement (until it was too late). Yet the comparison to George W. Bush is important and valuable in evaluating Trump’s conservatism or lack thereof, particularly when you consider that many of the #NeverTrump advocates come from the ranks of ex-W. enthusiasts and supporters."

    Log Cabin Republicans President Gregory T. Angelo tells Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon, “The presumptive nominees for both parties need to call this out for what it is – radical Islamic terrorism. The only one who did that was Donald Trump.” Angelo also extended “our sympathy, our sadness and our sorrow” to the victims of the “violent terrorist attack” in Orlando and their families on behalf of the group. “Let’s call this what it is. This was an attack by a radical Islamist terrorist on Americans.” Asked if he believed the spin from some Democrats that this...

    The Clinton Administration could literally commit as many crimes as they wanted because a sycophantic media was providing cover for them. Here are a few their corrupt dealings. The Larry Lawrence Affair Creating bogus national parks, selling missile secrets, with Clinton you name it -- EVERYTHING was for sale. Sadly this even included a burial plot in Arlington National Cemetery where only America’s military heroes are supposed to be laid to rest, unless of course you are a lying, Democrat contributor. In 1996 Clinton saw to it that a Democrat fund raiser with a fraudulent war record was buried in...

    "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...

    Fox News ^ | 6/12/2016
    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.

    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....

    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.

    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...

    American Thinker ^ | June 10,2016 | Sally Zelikovsky
    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...
