Michael Savage: “Let’s all cheer for the King of Jordan.” Michael Savage praised Jordan’s monarch for his decisive military strike against ISIS after the brutal execution of one of his pilots. “At least they have a king who protects them,” Savage said. “We have Obama, who thinks he’s a king but doesn’t protect us. … We have the fighting men, but not the leadership” (Free audio). Turning his attention back to the home front, Savage declared, “Obama has been out to destroy the middle class from the day he entered Columbia University.” He’s accomplished this, in part, by allowing “30...

Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell is the lead defendant in King v. Burwell, in which the plaintiffs claim the Obama administration is taxing millions of employers and individuals and subsidizing millions of HealthCare.gov enrollees contrary to the plain language of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (a.k.a., ObamaCare). The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case on March 4, and will likely rule by late June. If the Court rules against Burwell, 57 million individuals and employers will be freed from those illegal taxes and maybe 4 million HealthCare.gov enrollees will lose subsidies that the...

Audio Link-----This is avery interesting interview between Dr. Al Frech and Roman Genn, principal artist and contributing editor of National Review Magazine. Click on the link for the interview that reveals quite a bit about what life was like for a young dissident artist in the Soviet Union just before the wall came down. Roman also addresses the situation for conservative artists and activists today, and what the challenges are for the future. My favorite part is when Roman talks about being lifted in the arms of his father to look at Soviet papers glued to the wall in Moscow,...

L On January 15, 2015, Michigan's Governor Rick Snyder vetoed gun reform legislation that had strong support in the legislature.   Snyder cited concerns that were drummed up in a media campaign by the bill's opponents.  The bills sponsors consistently said that the complaints were baseless.  To obtain the governor's signature, the new legislature has removed the small bit of the legislation that Governor Snyder objected to, and passed the new bill, known as SB34 with over a 3-1 vote.  From mlive.com: LANSING, MI -- Michigan's Republican-led Senate on Tuesday, in its first official vote of the 2015-16 session, approved...

by Jon Rappoport February 7, 2015 http://www.nomorefakenews.com On May 29, 1913, in the Theatre des Champs-Elysees in Paris, a riot broke out. After the curtain went up on the premiere of The Rite of Spring, it took only a few minutes for the tumult to begin. Boos, hisses, catcalls, people throwing objects at the stage... The roar of the crowd quickly became so loud, the dancers lost their cues. And the music. It was a whisper, a pounding scream, sheets of brass, harsh relentless rhythms breaking against one another, cliffs suddenly colliding and collapsing in the air. The police arrived...

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he will oppose Loretta Lynch’s confirmation for U.S. attorney general because she supports civil forfeitures, but the Congressional Black Caucus knows his real motive — he’s racist. “Senator Paul is using the issue of civil forfeitures to block a well-qualified federal prosecutor from heading the Department of Justice,” CBC Chairman G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., said in a press release. “Senator Paul also has the audacity to suggest that Loretta Lynch should have more concern for people living in poverty. Butterfield added: “The Congressional Black Caucus recognizes Senator Paul’s unfounded argument as nothing but an excuse to...

In a stunningly evil and disgusting article, a feminist only willing to identify herself as “Lana” has described her decision to abort her child, based solely on the fact that he was a boy. Lana begins her article by explaining that “the patriarchy has been well entrenched since the dawn of time,” and continues by writing about an argument she had with a man on an airplane, while she was pregnant, to summarize what she deemed “extreme patriarchy.” The description of the argument is straight forward: Lana was flying to San Francisco to participate in an Occupy Wall Street rally....

If you didn't watch Fox News, you might not even know that Obama dissed Christianity. You might not know that Obama hitched up his holier than thou pants and launched into a sermon chock full of the moral equivalence between the Islam of today versus the Christianity of centuries past. You wouldn't know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcPSLgXr1vQYou wouldn't have learned this from ABC, CBS and certainly not from Brian Williams as none of them covered the story. Unfortunately, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC all ignored the President’s critique of Christianity during the Thursday evening newscasts with only ABC’s World News...

By saying he was in a helicopter that was hit by enemy fire–when in fact nothing of the sort actually happened–Brian Williams lied. His subsequent statements calling his lies a “mistake” is another lie. Williams clearly tried to steal some of the valor of those who have actually been under fire; and now that he has been exposed as a fraud, he is pleading with us to accept his actions as a “mistake.” A “mistake” is what has happened when you wear one black shoe and one brown shoe; it is what has happened when you leave your door unlocked....

In January of 2013, I wrote an essay on European Murder rates compared to the United States.  In it, I came to the conclusion that culture was the most important driver of homicide rates, and that the presence of guns was a minor factor.   It has been one of the most popular essays that I have written.   As I have pursued the subject further, the predominant and most important part of the "culture" predictor of high homicide rates appears to be a lack of faith in the criminal justice system. I have found that the same conclusion was reached...

Two days ago's Question Time on BBC1 was one of the worst I've ever seen, beating its own record of mendacious and appalling programmes. The panellist George Galloway described fascism as a "Christian phenomenon", whereas it's a well-established historical fact that Nazism was neo-pagan, tried to destroy Christianity in Germany and persecuted Christian clergy and churches. The very symbol of the SS, the SS bolts or Runic "SS" (), consisted of runes, signs popular in Germanic neopaganism. Nazism wanted to replace Christianity with a "völkisch" (folkish or racial) cult, a moral doctrine derived from the pre-Christian, pagan Germanic heritage....

Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) castigated the media for its “lackadaisical support of the President’s innovative solution to this chronic problem.” As Gutierrez sees it, “the vilification of amnesty opponents and the glorification of illegal immigrants the media have been doing is too mild. They still go through the motions of pretending that there is another side to this issue rather than accepting that the President has laid down a new law.” The Congressman warned that “President Obama may have to institute strict controls over what is reported if the media doesn’t fall in line. Their job is to help the...

FORMER US SOLDIER, OTHER WESTERNERS JOIN KURDS IN IRAQ TO BATTLE ISIS by EDWIN MORA6 Feb 201532 Americans, including a former U.S. soldier, and other Westerners have joined Kurdish forces battling Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL) jihadists on the ground in Iraq. “I’m not going back until the fight is finished and ISIS is crippled,” former U.S. Army soldier Jordan Matson, a 28-year-old from Sturtevant, Wisconsin told The Associated Press. “I decided that if my government wasn’t going to do anything to help this country, especially Kurdish people who stood by us for 10 years and helped us out while we...

The once-thought-to-be-dead House GOP leadership vehicle for a series of immigration bills including, presumably, an amnesty bill is roaring back to life thanks to Speaker John Boehner’s immigration adviser Becky Tallent’s efforts, several key Capitol Hill sources tell Breitbart News. Tallent is a former chief of staff to Senate “Gang of Eight” ringleader Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), the 2008 GOP presidential nominee who lost to President Barack Obama. During her time with McCain, Tallent helped craft—working with the office of the now late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA)—a previous amnesty bill that failed to pass during the second term of the...

Relax America, we now have an official national security strategy. President Obama delivered a long-overdue national security strategy document to Congress Friday, emphasizing diplomacy over military power and warning against American over-reach in world affairs. The 35-page policy document released yesterday tweaks our previous strategy of Leading From Behind® (LFB). You may recall that the primary tactic of that successful strategy was “don’t do stupid stuff.” As that proved inordinately more difficult to implement than we had HOPE-d, we’ve augmented it – with our new strategy of “don’t do anything.” It’s an extension of our popular “wait and see” attitude...

Lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other party, remember that from its founding until the 1960s, people committed terrible deeds in the name of the Democratic Party. In our own party, slavery and Jim Crow all too often were justified in the Democratic platform. Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, possibly the first grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, spoke at the 1868 Democratic National Convention. Most Klansmen were Democrats. The party refused to condemn the Klan as late as its 1924 convention, a gathering wags called “the Klanbake.” Woodrow Wilson, a...

There has been strong reaction to President Barack Obama’s remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday when he compared the murderous acts being committed by Islamic terrorist groups and centuries-ago Christian campaigns. And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ. The founder of StandAmerica, Bishop E. W. Jackson, told Elizabeth Hasselbeck on Friday morning’s Fox...

Exaggerated war stories around military installations and veteran’s hangouts are nothing new and probably as old as wars themselves. Many brave men want to be hero’s by fighting in great battles. Shakespeare’s Henry V gave a rousing St Crispin’s Day address to his troops, just as the real Henry had done some 200 years earlier. Each leader, the real and the imagined, had to encourage his “Band of Brothers” to fight the French in spite of the existence of overwhelming, 4-1 odds. Shakespeare’s Henry rallied his army with the stirring: “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For...
