Just had a fun thought to accomplish two things: Make fun of Hollywood celebrities Raise a lot of money for some charities What does the Freeper Nation think of starting a Crowd Funding site for Wounded Warriors and the St. Jude Children's Hospital? The twist would be that the fund would be named the 'Pay For Hollywood Liberals Plane Fare Relocation Support Fund'. Any 'A' or 'B' list Hollywood star would be able to apply for a rebate on any one-way ticket to a site outside North America. Of course, there would be a claw-back provision if they did not...

An Allegan County resident says the local school district has blackballed him from umpiring its baseball teams’ home games because he was critical of the school board and administration. He also says the district won't hire him as a bus driver despite having openings for the position. Brian Polet said he criticized the Hamilton Community Schools’ board and administration in 2014 over its adoption of Common Core, the controversial curriculum then being implemented in public schools around the country. He later criticized the district for collecting data on students through a state testing regimen. Polet, an umpire registered with the...

Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Chuck Todd, the moderator of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” quipped that “anti-intellectualism” had taken over the Republican Party. (snip) “Anti-intellectualism,” Todd said, “that’s what’s taken over the party. It’s almost this, you know, there’s almost this disdain with some in Trump world that are like, ‘Yeah OK, so the college educated crowd isn’t for it. There’s almost a disdain that they’re embracing about this. But it is hurting the party. It’s going to hurt the party down the road.”

It’s no wonder they hate him…h/t Ed DriscollHe’s a very quick learner. (Although he may have gotten the idea from MOTUS’s banner)I’ve got a busy day so your job, should you accept it, is to illustrate how The Donald has used every one of Alinsky’s Rules thus far. Ed Driscoll gets you started: Rule #4: Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. In late August, a Trump video similarly pushed back against his own charges by noting that “Hillary Clinton needs to address the racist undertones of her 2008 campaign.” Posted from: Michelle Obama’s Mirror

Obamacare’s expansion of Medicaid reduced employment in those states that participated in it by a statistically significant extent, according to a recent study by Georgetown University’s Tomas Wind:“I find a significant negative relationship between Medicaid expansion and labor force participation, in which expanding Medicaid is associated with 1.5 to 3 percentage point drop in labor force participation.”As Wind notes, Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion provided an unusually good test case for the effects of a government program, since it went into effect in some states but not others during the covered period. […] Ironically, despite its enormous cost of billions of dollars...

“If you’re a white Southerner, you know exactly what it means.” Former President Bill Clinton on Wednesday said Donald Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” is a racist dog whistle. “I’m actually old enough to remember the good old days, and they weren’t all that good in many ways,” Clinton said at a rally in Orlando. “That message where ‘I’ll give you America great again’ is if you’re a white Southerner, you know exactly what it means, don’t you?” “What it means is ‘I’ll give you an economy you had 50 years ago, and I’ll move you back up...

Here we go again, and it’s no surprise that German Chancellor Angela Merkel is nowhere to be found. In what many news outlets are calling a “copycat” sexual assault attack on German women, police are investigating many reports of sexual assaults by migrants. The most recent attacks bear an eerie resemblance to the sexual assaults carried out by multiple migrants during last year's New Year’s Eve in Cologne, Germany. The most recent incidents of rape and sexual assault at the hands of migrants came during last weekend’s “Essen Original” festival in the town of Essen. The typically family-friendly festival has...

DEFCON 1 – Defense Condition 1 – Code Name – Cocked Pistol, Situation – Nuclear War is Imminent. During the 1964 election, the Johnson Campaign was largely successful at painting Republican nominee Barry Goldwater as a maniac on the right who would push the button and destroy the world in a thermonuclear war. The Clinton campaign is attempting to do the same thing to Mr. Trump, albeit with much less success, if any success at all. Trump is consistently being described as an erratic thinker with a bad temper, who doesn’t have the judgment to be the President of the...

We know how they're spending it because they told us At this point, it’s not that hard to find people willing to admit that Obama’s massive transfer of cash to Iran will probably end up supporting terrorists. It’s really just common sense. They’re a state sponsor of terrorism - the slaughter of innocents designed to instill fear - and we sent them $1.7 Billion. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how that scenario is going to play out. ...It just takes someone slightly smarter than Barack Obama and John Kerry.

Goldman thrives on complexity and backroom dealing Goldman Sachs, the international investment bank that is under more or less continuous government investigation, has forbidden senior employees from giving money to the Trump-Pence campaign. But these wizards of Wall Street drew the new rule up in such a way that they can claim they are not trying to elect Hillary Clinton president.

Klamath Basin Agreement proponents have lost not only their grip on reality, but also their traditional American common sense neighborly values Klamath Basin groups claiming to represent the majority of Klamath Basin residents, such as the Klamath Water Users Association (“KWUA”) and the Family Farm Alliance (“FFA”), have long perpetuated the lie that the Klamath Basin Agreements will benefit ALL Basin residents. The first two of these agreements had been initially proposed during the Bush administration in an effort assist Klamath irrigators resolve longstanding science and water delivery disputes with environmentalists and tribal communities. Now, these and several additional new...

Glenn Beck and other #NeverTrumpers are on the wrong side of America’s moral war and needs right now. Get with it or get out of America’s way Donald Trump’s support and ‘America first’ message continues to grow as he delivers speech after speech right out of the park. Trump’s recent immigration speech was delivered from the heart, reflecting guts, clarity, passion and empathy for most American’s real concerns. Now we hear an even better speech from Trump on national security covering our military, vets and risks we face. He is promising to build back our military, care for our vets...

The Progressives have kept their eye on the ball. To them it was always a game of two steps forward then one step back. If you turn on, tune in, browse or otherwise peruse the alternative media you will undoubtedly come across the question, “Will President Obama declare Martial Law?” or one of its many variants: “Can President Obama use martial law to stay in the White House?” “What is Obama’s plan to declare martial law?” “President Obama signs martial law order.” “President Obama will suspend 2016 election and impose martial law.” And of course there has to be an...

Trump gave a speech in Greenville NC yesterday that might as well could have been a press conference on what he seeks to accomplish within his first 100 days in office. It even ranks with Reagan's "A Time of Choosing" speech in 1964. Far from a typical stump speech, Trump outlined a very specific agenda on what he hoped to accomplished and to restore Constitutional government back to the U.S. IMO, this was his greatest speech at a rally thus far in this campaign. Full speech can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXMAvppTSAY

  Never mind the Bushes. Forget about McCain and Romney. And while you’re at it, ignore for a moment the GOP politicians and conservative media pundits who consider it necessary to inform you that they don’t support Donald Trump. Let’s instead try and figure out what’s driving this phenomenon. Even though he’s the undisputed GOP nominee, there remain conservatives who consider it their political duty to inform us that Trump is a flawed candidate. OK, NeverTrumpers, thanks for the insight. Just one question about all of the grumbling. What is the point? Perhaps it’s an effort to assuage the guilt...

“When You Walk through Fire You Shall Not Be Burned” (Isaiah 43:1-7) “When you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.” This is the Lord’s promise to his people. You heard it in the reading from Isaiah 43: “When you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.” “But, but, Pastor,” you say. “There it says that if we go through fire we will not be burned. But here we are at Doris’s funeral, and she went through a fire, that terrible house fire of...

Shapiro: Hillary's email scandal takes down the FBI By: Ben Shapiro | September 07, 2016 For months Americans wondered whether the FBI, led by Director James Comey, would take down the most corrupt woman in the history of American politics, Hillary Clinton. As it turns out, Hillary Clinton took down the FBI. According to new documents from the FBI's investigation of Clinton, the agency was fully aware that Clinton lied when she said she set up a private server in order to utilize one Blackberry device -- she used 13 mobile devices and two phone numbers. The FBI knew that...

This year’s back-to-school season has brought out more than the usual share of anti-charter hostility — with local critics seeking to amplify national voices. On his HBO show, comedian John Oliver skewered charter schools with 18 minutes of uninformed and outdated (but otherwise funny) satire. The NAACP has called for a moratorium on new charters, which has provoked a bewildered backlash from many who see the benefits they have provided for children of color. Playing a similar tune, the chair of Michigan State University’s music education department last week unleashed an off-key analogy: “As with the private prison scenario, the...
