ecently, I watched a show on Al-Jazeera where the show’s hosts were moderating a debate among 4 people regarding the propriety of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement’s new platform, and its disgusting assertions that Israel is committing “genocide” against “Palestinians” and is an “apartheid” state.

Tucker Carlson, host and journalist for FOX News said, “If Trump loses, it’s going to be a new America.” No truer statement could be said about America’s fate in the 21st century. If Hillary Clinton wins, she promises to bring in 100,000 more Syrian Muslim refugees if not more during her four-year term. She promises total amnesty for 20 to 30 million illegal aliens. She stands with Muslims like Khizr Khan who openly advocates for Sharia Law being implemented into America to supplant U.S. Constitutional law. Hillary Clinton works for open borders to create an even greater flow of all...

The FBI uncovered nearly 15,000 more emails and materials sent to or from Hillary Clinton as part of the agency's investigation into her use of private email at the State Department. The documents were not among the 30,000 work-related emails turned over to the State Department by her attorneys in December 2014. The State Department confirmed it has received "tens of thousands" of personal and work-related email materials — including the 14,900 emails found by the FBI — that it will review. The number of emails provided by the FBI to the State Department for review is much higher than...

August 12, 2016 Waller County Judge posted the following on Facebook in the group called “Waller County News. Trey Duhon – This underlines my point.. Micah Johnson… The guy that threatened put a bullet in Elton Mathis’ head to solve the guns in the courthouse… Listen to what I say next VERY carefully… It’s not the BLM or Texas Carry group that is the issue… It’s the rhetoric that they employ to deliver a message that can affect some people (those who might not be stable or law-abiding) and inflame them to take action into their own hands. Case in...

By Israel News Agency StaffIsrael Ministry of Foreign Affairs: “The normalization of our relations with Turkey does not mean that we will remain silent in the face of its baseless condemnations. Israel will continue to defend its civilians from all rocket fire on our territory, in accordance with international law and our conscience.” “Turkey should think twice before criticizing the military actions of others,” the ministry added.

A few years back my mother had a pair of silent heart attacks, leaving her heart 90% obstructed. I asked Freepers to pray for her recovery, and she grew new veins in her heart returning her heart to 80% capacity. Such adventitious growth isn't unheard of in heart medicine, but the doctors were floored by how much happened and how quickly. I thank Jesus and the Freepers who prayed for her recovery. So now I'm coming back to ask for a special prayer. My boss's wife is a very special woman. And although I can't say who he is, anyone...

Donald leans over and, with a smile on his face, says: “Do you think the media were too hard on you about that scandal?” Hillary: “You mean my lying about Benghazi?” Trump: “No, the other one.” Hillary: “You mean the massive voter fraud?” Trump: “No, the other one.” Hillary: “You mean the military not getting their votes counted?” Trump: “No, the other one.” Hillary: “Using my secret private server with classified material to hide my activities?” Trump: “No, the other one.” Hillary: “The NSA monitoring our phone calls, emails and everything else?” Trump: “No, the other one.” Hillary: “Using the...

When Bill and Hillary first got married Bill said, “I put a box under the bed. You must promise never to look in it.” In all their 30 years of marriage, Hillary never looked. On the afternoon of their 30th anniversary, curiosity got the best of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In it were three empty beer cans and $81,874.25 in cash. She closed the box and put it back under the bed. Now that she knew what was in the box, she was doubly curious as to why there was such a box and with...

After a century of shooing away hunters, tending to trails and helping visitors enjoy the wonder of the natural world, the guardians of America’s most treasured places have been handed an almost unimaginable new job – slowing the all-out assault climate change is waging against national parks across the nation. As the National Parks Service (NPS) has charted the loss of glaciers, sea level rise and increase in wildfires spurred by rising temperatures in recent years, the scale of the threat to US heritage across the 412 national parks and monuments has become starkly apparent. As the National Parks Service...

I have been in contact with a website that wants to help Trump win. Having done just this in 2004 I suggested doing what my group did. We were able to find volunteers with professional level voiceover skills to be in 15; 30 and 60 second radio spots turned into MP3s. These MP3s were then Emailed to individuals or to directly to radio stations they had made arrangements with, and aired. This system is very effective and gets around all requirements for accounting and reporting. My group was successful in changing the numbers in Youngstown and that helped swing Ohio...

In last month’s Short Term Energy Outlook (STEO), the Energy Information Administration (EIA) projected that it now expects record U.S. gasoline consumption this year This projected increase follows several years of lower gasoline demand that resulted from persistently rising gasoline prices over the past decade. From 2002 to 2012 the average retail price of gasoline rose nearly every year, from an annual average of $1.39/gal in 2002 to $3.68/gal in 2012. Consumers responded to these higher prices in multiple ways, which cumulatively led to falling gasoline demand. Some even suggested that U.S. gasoline demand had permanently peaked, as a result...

IRVINE – Former USC star and Raiders quarterback Todd Marinovich was arrested after he was found naked with marijuana in someone else’s backyard, police said Monday. The 47-year-old was cited for trespassing, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana, Irvine police Commander Mike Hallinan said Monday.

The Louisiana State Police had received numerous reports of illegal cock fighting being held in the area around Abbeville and had sent their famous Detective Boudreaux from Thibodeaux to investigate. Boudreaux promptly began his investigation and then reported to his Commander the next morning. "Dey is tree main groups involve in dis rooster Fightin", he began. "Good work! Who are they?" the Commander asked. Boudreaux replied confidently, "De Texas Aggies, de local Cajuns, and de Demcratic Natnal Char from N'awlins". Puzzled, the Commander asked, "Now Boudreaux, how did you find all that out in one night?" "Well," he replied, "I...

I am looking at a car for a friend prior to purchase. I noticed that the car had a DOD vehicle ID sticker on the front windshield. It's been a long time since I last had to read these (as a military brat) - am I right in remembering the vehicle was the property of a two-star general or equivalent naval rank?

Hillary's people are 'trying to pin it on me.' I’m always baffled when the left uses Colin Powell as a defense or a positive example. This is the man who basically sold the Iraq war which was, as any delusional bleeding heart will tell you, a ‘super-evil blood-for-oil monstrosity, predicated on a lie.’ However, the second he can be used to prop up one of their terrible candidates, Democrats forget all about their deeply-felt Iraq war rancor and hold Powell up as a sterling example of American greatness and altruism. Hillary Clinton has been doing this for months, in a...

YouTube video -- very well done transposition to a minor key, and really creepy.

Blind eye “You don’t need to worry about immigration. The only people who illegally cross the border are hardworking folks who want better lives for their families. They certainly aren’t terrorists, so stop being a racist and demanding that we seal our southern border. Why do you hate the ‘brown people’ so much? What’s wrong with you?” That’s the word from the “progressive” left, which will light the political correctness Batsignal the instant anyone suggests that maybe, just maybe, our lax enforcement of immigration law could represent a security threat.

Faced with the difficulty of persuading a skeptical public that the "extraordinarily careless" characterization of her email practices by FBI Director James Comey is significantly different from the legally culpable "gross negligence" standard, the Clinton campaign is field testing a couple of new excuses. First out of the block was the disclosure that neither Secretary Clinton nor any of her many aides (including Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, Jake Sullivan, Dennis Cheng, Anne Marie Slaughter, Phillippe Reines, Caitlin Klevorick, and Kris Bladerston) embroiled in the scandal completed the mandatory ethics training required for federal employees. Clinton Campaign Manager Robbie Mook pointed...

Cruise missiles latest scourge of supposed "hawk" in war-torn nation I don’t think most people realize just how close U.S. forces are to engaging in direct combat with Russia. Very close. And if you want to know how we got in this predicament in Syria, you might want to ask Hillary Clinton. Over the weekend, Russian cruise missiles pounded rebel forces backed by the U.S., which is allied with them in their attempts to remove President Bashar Assad from power. The Russians became so aggressive that U.S. commanders found it necessary to publicly announced U.S. forces would take action to...
