What has happened to common sense and the rule of law? It has been ousted as racism, bigotry and white privilege In Milwaukee, Black Lives Matter activists, looters and rioters set out to hunt down and attack any and all white people. Sherelle Smith, sister of Sylville Smith, the criminal shot down in Milwaukee, called for rioters to stop burning down their own neighborhoods and businesses and head out to the suburbs and burn them down. “You’re burning down s**t we need in our community. Take that s**t to the suburbs! Burn that s**t down! We need our s**t, we...

DeRay Mckesson: Fall 2016 fellow at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics A George Soros-backed Black Lives Matter leader with delusions of eloquence has been given his second prestigious academic posting in two years because he’s good at starting race riots. It’s proof that crime pays. Embrace the pathologies of the Left and you will be showered with high praise and honors. The agitator at hand is DeRay Mckesson, who should be in prison along with his fellow BLM terrorists. He will be a Fall 2016 fellow at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics.

Even known criminals... I guess it’s a good news/bad news story. Despite the determination of the president to never deport an illegal alien, since they’re all prospective Democrat voters, there are still some people in the Department of Homeland Security who take their jobs seriously and issue hundreds of thousands of deportation orders each year. That’s the good news. The bad news? Even if Obama doesn’t stop them from doing their jobs, apparently there are plenty of federal judges who will. Some excellent reporting from FoxNews.com shows that over the past who years, more than 200,000 would-be deportations were halted...

The investigation by a handful of attorneys general into ExxonMobil has much more to do with the oil major misleading investors than it does about covering up climate science. The legal headache stems from several news reports that ExxonMobil buried decades of internal climate science in order to protect its interests. That has environmental groups crying foul, blaming the oil company for decades of policy inaction to stop the growth of greenhouse gas emissions. That also was a key reason that New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman, along with several other AGs from different states, opened up an investigation into...

Choosing the right ammunition can be a difficult task, even for the most experienced of gun enthusiasts. Without taking on the overwhelming hobby of making your own ammunition, and having your significant other hassle you over those exciting new credit card bills, here are a few tips to help you find the right ammunition for your 9mm. Regarding Grain and What That Means for You and Your AccuracyGrain is relatively important when it comes to the accuracy of your carbine or pistol. Truly, most sportsmen can spend an entire lifetime going to the range or hunting and never really worry...

The editorial board of the Boston Globe loves Hillary Clinton and would never do anything to harm her. Nevertheless, it is having a tough time making believe it swallows her lies or the lies the paper itself tells in defending the Clinton Foundation. In fact, they are so concerned about the problem the Clinton Foundation is causing Hillary Clinton’s campaign to be our next president that they have warned her to mend her ways. This, of course, is like telling a lion to stop eating everything in sight. The Clintons are criminals who see only dollar signs in the world...

Progressive activists have had trouble getting African-Americans to support bringing in more Syrian refugees due to concerns that refugee children will receive more attention than poor African-American children, according to a leaked memo between top officials at George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and members of the organization’s U.S. advisory board. The October 2015 memo was part of a 70-page file containing internal documents from an October 1 and 2 board meeting in New York City. Anonymous hackers whose stated goal is to “shed light on one of the most influential networks operating worldwide” released thousands of internal OSF documents to...

This is about the labor groups coming and trying to silence one voice and eliminate the ability of nonunion workers to have a voice in the political sphere The Labor-Management Cooperation Act of 1978 is rearing its ugly head once again in the California Legislature, as it roars to the end of the 2015-16 session. The idea behind the “Labor Management Cooperation Committee” ostensibly is to improve communication between representatives of Labor and Management, expand and improve working relationships between worker and managers, and to ensure health and safety working conditions in the construction industry, among other stated goals. But...

Should be plenty of evidence for Congress to convict John Kerry for his treasonous activities As Democratic Party members march lockstep to try to elect corrupt former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the White House, it becomes clearer that her successor, John Forbes Kerry, is not only corrupt but guilty of treason for his so-called diplomatic efforts that serve as a conduit for the U.S. funding of Iran’s terrorism-sponsoring regime. Treason, according to Article 2, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution is an impeachable offense: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be...

Arielle Newton, an organizer with the New York City Black Lives Matter movement, wrote an opinion column for the PBS News Hour, lamenting the Democrat Party agenda was not radical enough and stated she will be voting for Green Party candidate Jill Stein. “As a radical black militant,” Newton wrote, “this presidential election is best characterized as a tyrannical pageant of white fear.” She claims the Democrat Party is “a master of reformist performance" and only offers "half measures" despite claims that the party cares about the black community. “But the Democratic Party pays lip service to the black community,...

Also vows that after four years in office, he'll get 95 percent of the black vote One of the most common knocks against Donald Trump is actually one of the things I like most about him. Whereas some find fault in Trump for not being sufficiently indoctrinated to the conventional wisdom of politics, I see a refreshing refusal to be a slave to it. A few things are more established as conventional wisdom than the idea that the black vote will always go overwhelmingly Democratic, because . . . well, because it does! In an appearance on Friday in Dimondale,...

Mary Landrieu too... Last week, prior to Donald Trump’s Louisiana visit, the anti-Trump media had fun mischaracterizing remarks made by LA. Governor John Bel Edwards. If you watched any of the mainstreamers, you were under the impression that the Governor told Trump not to come. Like so much of what those outlets report, that wasn’t exactly true.

Continuing with the narrative that Hillary Clinton is unfit to be president, Rudy Giuliani, an adviser with Donald Trump's campaign, claimed Sunday there are videos online that show Clinton has an illness. Giuliani said on "Fox News Sunday" that Clinton has "an entire media that constantly demonizes Donald Trump." The former New York City mayor went on to say the media fail to point out how she has not held a news conference in over 200 days and her "several signs of illness."

State Rep. Allen Peake is among the influential conservatives torn over Donald Trump’s rise – and teetering toward disavowing the party’s nominee. A former floor leader for Gov. Nathan Deal and the champion of medical marijuana legislation, Peake told us for a story that ran Sunday that the prospect of the New York businessman in the White House “scares the bejeebies out of me” – though he said he’ll still support him over Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Waller County DA Elton Mathis Image from s-nbcnews.com   A month ago, on 6 July, 2016, Waller County Texas officials raised many eyebrows by using the power of the County to sue an individual citizen. The citizen, Terry Holcomb Sr., threatened to report  Waller County to the Texas Attorney General, as is required by the procedure set up by the Texas Legislature last session.   It is easy to see why the Waller County DA went after the individual citizen.  He does not have deep pockets to defend with, and he does not have the institutional defenses of the Texas...

Donald Trump laced into the hosts of MSNBC's morning show anew on Monday, accusing one of co-hosts of being "neurotic" and a "mess" and both of them as being "two clowns." "Tried watching low-rated @Morning_Joe this morning, unwatchable! @morningmika is off the wall, a neurotic and not very bright mess!" Trump tweeted Monday, referring specifically to Mika Brzezinski, in response to the first hour and 20 minutes of MSNBC's "Morning Joe." Minutes after his initial tweet, Trump offered another personal broadside. "Some day, when things calm down, I'll tell the real story of @JoeNBC and his very insecure long-time girlfriend,...

I’m taking a vacation this week so I thought it would be fun to reflect back on the Wons first Martha’s Vineyard vacation compliments of the taxpayer. First, from August 25, 2009: If The Shoe Fits (or not) Sheeze! Can you believe all the hoo-ha over Lady M’s tootsies? Haven’t I got enough to worry about from the ankles up – and please, no canckle jokes from you little zumba Everyready bunnies.I would think the MSM would be following the escapades of Rahm, the only toes in this administration that count. He’s down in Florida this week trying to stem...

This past week, a series of emails from George Soros was leaked to the world, proving once and for all that Mr. Soros is the puppet master behind the Democrat Party. One set of emails from the State Department shows Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the beck-and-call of Soros, following his orders as if God Himself handed them down. Another email string shows Soros doing his best through his cronies to undermine the state of Israel and to support the Muslim terrorists they are fighting. On Wednesday’s episode of the O’Reilly Factor, eponymous host Bill O’Reilly argued that the...

Judging from the outcome of recent federal court cases involving Voter ID, one could be forgiven for believing two things. First, there is an unqualified right to vote. Second, the more voting by more people on more matters, the better. Voting itself would appear to be an unalienable right. Ever expanding democracy has long been the Progressive’s means to their fuzzy, yet dangerous social justice ends. Our national experience has shown that the explosion of the democratic element since the direct election of senators, voting by women, repeal of Jim Crow, abolition of poll taxes, lowering the voting age to...

I would like to say that I hope the family takes a deep interest in getting ALL THE FACTS of what happened to Seth. I also hope they can piece it all together and that whoever killed Seth Rich is brought to justice. Seth Rich's murder was acoustically captured by the ShotSpotter system. This system will let us know how many shots were fired and more importantly how far apart the shots were. If an execution had taken place I would you would hear an unrushed pull of the trigger [POP… POP] but in a hasty robbery gone bad, perhaps...
