  • PHOTOS: Hillary Clinton’s protective wall around Chappaqua estate

    Hillary Clinton doesn’t miss an opportunity to ridicule Donald Trump’s illegal immigration solution of a wall on the southern border — but that’s exactly what she’s deployed to keep undesirables away from her. “First of all, as I understand him, he’s talking about a very tall wall, a beautiful tall wall, the most beautiful tall wall, better than the Great Wall of China, that would run the entire border,” Clinton riffed in March. “He would somehow magically get the Mexican government to pay for it. It’s just fantasy.” A series of photos reveal a massive barrier running the entire border...

    For many years, rumors surrounding Hillary Clinton's health would surface but then they would magically disappear, which is something the Clinton's are good at making happen. We have seen dozens of reports signaling Hillary Clinton has been in and out of the hospital since 2007 with seizures, a concussion, and a brain clot. While this photo is unconfirmed, we are working to confirm that this is in fact Hillary Clinton. When Hillary Clinton announced she was running for president in 2015, many began to question if she was fit and mentally stable enough to endure a long campaign and even...
  • The Anti-Trump Right's Sad Quest for Respectability

    I have been praying for the wisdom to understand the lace curtain, anti-Trump right – the Weekly Standard, National Review, Commentary, even The American Spectator. But it was not until I saw the Cato mailer that my overriding sentiment crystallized. These people are pathetic, deluded, fearful. They are frightened someone will think them vulgar or nutty or, God forbid, racist. They are the "pussies" Clint Eastwood warned us about. Instead of advancing our embattled causes this past year, they devoted much of their time to writing gleeful Trump-bashing editorials. The common core of these editorials might be distilled as "How...
  • Nationalism Is Not Necessarily a Bad Thing

    Google "Donald Trump" and "nationalism" and you'll get 1,090,000 results, the large percentage of which are, to judge from the top hits, negative. "Nationalism" is deemed to be bad stuff, maybe even akin to Nazism. But is nationalism always so bad? Not, it seems, for the millions of people around the world watching the Rio Olympics. They watch as the TV networks keep track of the metal count -- and they root for the men and women they see representing their nations. Americans were thrilled to see Michael Phelps propel the U.S. team to gold in the freestyle relay and...
  • Hillary Clinton's Economic Plan: Tax-And-Spend With A Vengeance

    Election 2016: Hillary Clinton has big plans for the economy if she's elected president, as she made clear in her speech in economically troubled Warren, Mich., on Thursday. It's too bad that her big plans involve only big spending and big taxes, which will produce little if any economic growth. Clinton's speech was framed around four questions. Which candidate has a plan to create good jobs? Who will ensure the top pay their "fair share" of taxes? Who will go to bat for families? And who can deliver results? But her answer to every question was the same: more government...
  • Trump reverses on federal debt: 'This is the time to borrow'

    Donald Trump appeared to change his stance on the federal debt Thursday, saying that, with interest rates low, the U.S. should borrow money to spend on infrastructure rather than lowering the $14 trillion federal debt. "This is the time to borrow," the Republican candidate said in an interview on CNBC Thursday morning. "Normally, you would say you want to reduce your debt, and I would like to reduce debt too," Trump said, before explaining that "the problem is you have a military problem, you have an infrastructure problem — a tremendous infrastructure problem, and you have other problems. And also,...

    When former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was asked last week if she has misled the American people on the issue of her failure to safeguard state secrets contained in her emails, she told my Fox News colleague, Chris Wallace, that the FBI had exonerated her. When pressed by Wallace, she argued that FBI Director James Comey said that her answers to the American people were truthful. After Clinton recognized that even her strongest supporters doubted her statement, she attempted to walk it back. In doing so, she repeatedly lied again, but offered as an excuse a bizarre claim that...

    Revolt TV interviewed former U.S. Attorney, former Massachusetts governor and current Libertarian vice presidential candidate William Weld. Chief Political Correspondent Amrit Singh asked Weld about his views on guns. Specifically, whether or not people on the government’s secret, unaccountable Terrorist Watch List should be able to purchase “assault rifles.” […]“The five shot rifle, that’s a standard military rifle; the problem is if you attach a clip to it so it can fire more shells and if you remove the pin so that it becomes an automatic weapon, and those are independent criminal offenses. That is when they become, essentially a...

    Gigantic losses put exchanges on the brink, send program careening into chaos Remember when everyone watching ObamaCare was focused on how many people had signed up? First they needed 7 million, then 11 million, and on it went as new targets replaced the old. These weren’t meaningless - at least it didn’t appear that way. The targets represented the critical mass the Obama Administration itself said the program needed to be economically sustainable. Insurance, they told us, is about risk pools. If you’ve got enough people in the risk pool, you’d have enough premiums being paid in to cover those...

    The next president could be dealing with an ObamaCare insurer meltdown in his or her very first month. The incoming administration will take office just as the latest ObamaCare enrollment tally comes in, delivering a potentially crucial verdict about the still-shaky healthcare marketplaces. The fourth ObamaCare signup period begins about one week before Election Day, and it will end about one week before inauguration on Jan. 20. After mounting complaints from big insurers about losing money this year, the results could serve as a kind of judgment day for ObamaCare, experts say. “The next open enrollment period is key,” said...

It comes at a time of mounting tension between the campaign and the Republican National Committee, which is facing pressure to pull the plug on Trump’s campaign and redirect party funds down ballot to protect congressional majorities endangered by Trump’s candidacy.</p>

    American Thinker ^ | August 11, 2016 | Brian C. Joondeph
    Donald Trump, shortly after securing the GOP nomination, attached a name to Hillary Clinton, just as he did to his opponents throughout the primary process. She was Crooked Hillary, based on a lifetime of playing fast and loose with finances, ethics, and honesty. After photos surfaced this past weekend showing Mrs. Clinton struggling to ascend a set of steps, as well as reports of possible seizure activity, Trump may want to rename Mrs. Clinton "Unhealthy Hillary." These health concerns are not new and were raised by me as well as others several years ago after Mrs. Clinton fainted, fell, and...

While those Dems still feeding media hysteria that Trump committed treason by inviting disclosure of Hillary’s 33,000 deleted emails “if they have them” would regard this a good news, there was some absolutely terrible news for them.

    A majority of American voters view a Donald Trump presidency as a personal threat to their way of life. That's according to a recently-released Monmouth University poll, in which 54 percent of respondents said they're frightened of the idea of the outspoken billionaire in the White House. The poll of more than 800 registered voters asked which of six options made them feel the most threatened. The only option that came back with a higher percentage than Trump was radical Islamic extremism, which topped the list at 61 percent. Respondents weren't too much more enthused about Trump's Democratic rival, Hillary...
