Many years ago Edward R. Murrow famously asked Senator Joe McCarthy, "Sir have you no decency?" It's time to ask that question again, "Mainstream media, have you no decency, fairness, no objectivity and most importantly can't you dim, dim bulbs come up with new material once in a while?" Trump Jr. told some joke and for the 47,000 time this week, the headline is "Sparks Outrage." This has become the lamestream media's catch phrase. It's automatic. Donald Trump has a hangnail and it "SPARKS INTERNATIONAL OUTRAGE!!!" Oh my goodness. All of these liberal outlets seem to use it. The Trump...

Jimmy Carter says the United States is experiencing a “resurgence of racism” and he’s calling on Baptist faith leaders to foster change in their churches and communities. The former U.S. president spoke Thursday at a summit hosted by the New Baptist Covenant, which he convened in 2007 to unite Baptists of different races, ethnicities and theologies. Carter’s keynote address came during a three-day meeting in Atlanta aimed at creating partnerships between black and white churches to work together on pressing issues in their community...

<p>With shootings a weekly occurrence in Melbourne and crime up, Justice Minister Michael Keenan announced plans to allow those with illegal guns to turn them in without compensation.</p> <p>The island continent with a population of around 24 million held a nationwide gun buyback in 1996 following a mass killing known as the Port Arthur massacre, where a gunman murdered 35 people and injured 24. The measure led to severe restrictions on firearms including an outright ban on most semi-automatic and pump-action rifles and shotguns. During the enactment of the law, the government bought back nearly 700,000 guns at a cost of $500 million, but whether or not it had a positive affect is still up for debate.</p>

Hillary's Team Quickly Re-Works Campaign Graphics

The GOP nominee’s surge is real, but perishable. The GOP nominee prefers his KFC by the bucket, devours the fries before the Big Mac, and only eats greens out of taco bowls perched atop white linen napkins – but make no mistake, these are Donald Trump’s salad days. Counted down in the dark days after his gloomy Cleveland convention, with polls showing him behind by double digits, Trump has mounted what, to the unschooled political observer, appears to be a remarkable political comeback. He’s pulled even with Clinton among likely voters in the latest New York Times/CBS national poll –...

A fellow Freeper named Karliner urged me to follow through on this video. We both had a similar idea of a Hillary video using Arthur Brown's "Fire" as the soundtrack. Here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CnfzU88XXM

Make the polls great again We’ve said all along that a Trump surge in national polling is absolutely meaningful, not because the race is decided on a national basis - it obviously is not - but because a real national surge will inevitably be reflected in state-by-state polling. And perhaps the most delicious news of this or any day is that the best news for Trump in quite some time comes from Hillary’s committed sycophants at CNN, of all places: Among likely voters in Ohio, Trump stands at 46% to Clinton’s 41%, with 8% behind Libertarian Gary Johnson and 2%...

The mainstream media bet the farm on Hillary Clinton, confident that their dismissal of every skeptical inquiry as a "conspiracy" would guarantee her victory. It now appears they have lost their bet. Let's do something radical and be honest for a moment: the mainstream media has smoothed the path to Hillary's coronation in countless often subtle ways. MSM "Opinion" hacks have unleashed unrelenting attacks on legitimate inquiries with accusations of "conspiracy" and obsequious kow-towing headlines such as "Can we please stop talking about Hillary's health?" Suggestions that the Clinton Foundation engaged in "pay to play" during Hillary's term as secretary...

But still way too high... It doesn’t matter who you are. If you’re awake, if you’re paying attention to what’s going on in the world around you, there’s a good chance you don’t trust the press. Considering the inarguable fact that most mainstream media outlets are little more than regurgitators for Democrat talking points, this is hardly surprising. If they ever really existed, the days of non-partisan journalistic curiosity and integrity are long gone. We know this, and we cite examples every day. Now we have some polling that shows just how far the mighty fourth estate has fallen. According...

The Democrats have no rules, but there's always a way My buddy and Cox colleague Mark Kaye asks an interesting question: What if Hillary’s health forces her to quit the race? What do the Democrats do? Oh sure, they could just stick Tim Kaine at the top of the ticket so he can run the country and explain the Bible to all of us. Or they could go with Joe Biden so we can all learn about shotgun safety. But Mark’s been thinking a little more creatively: Good ideas? Well, let’s all agree on this: Hillary not becoming president is...

We have gone way downhill from the epic truths of news giants like Edward R. Murrow, Jack Anderson, Helen Kirkpatrick, Walter Winchell, Katherine Graham, and other guiding luminaries of a long-dead, true journalism I’m a time traveler. I’ve come forward seventy years by extraordinary means. You see, I got here the slow way—-by living. And I’m even actually older than those seventy years—-and that’s the extraordinary part, because almost everybody I ever knew is dead, missing, or has Alzheimers. “So what?” You might ask. “What’s it to me?” Well, because here I am, and I’m come to you, as a...

Donald Trump “is a human leech who will bleed the country and sit at his golf resort laughing at the money he has made,” Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday. In remarks from the Senate floor, Reid (D-Nev.) called Trump “a spoiled brat” and “a notorious con artist.” And he argued that the GOP nominee’s history of dubious business practices would carry over into a presidential administration. Donald Trump “is a human leech who will bleed the country and sit at his golf resort laughing at the money he has made,” Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday. In...

The far left will stop at nothing in its efforts to advance a global agenda which will destroy the United States, end free enterprise and individual liberty and obliterate national boundaries throughout the world. Key to their success is unfettered control of the politics, economy and culture of the United States. A medical school professor believes that the symptoms Hillary has displayed make it quite likely that she has just one year to live. If this is indeed the case, it means that thief, liar and radical leftist Hillary Clinton is willing to conceal her health problems and literally place...

Former GOP Senate Candidate (Who Is a Doctor) Claims Hillary's Health Problem Isn't "Dehydration" The following article was written by Frank Camp and published on September 14th for the Independent Journal Review. Camp includes the Tweets of Dr. Milton Wolf who believes that Hillary Clinton's symptoms indicate a far more dangerous and deadly illness than pneumonia. by Frank Camp Following Hillary Clinton's apparent fainting spell at the 9/11 Memorial, and the subsequent announcement that she'd contracted pneumonia, the Democratic candidate's health has been thrust into the spotlight once again. A notable doctor sent out a series of tweets Monday implying...

Enlightened--and unenlightened - States need to affirm their total opposition to any settlement of the Jewish-Arab conflict involving the ethnic cleansing of any Jews from Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem United Nations member States need to examine their own consciences and policies following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu castigating them for promoting a Jew-free Palestinian Arab State in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and East Jerusalem. In a video presentation last week—Netanyahu declared:

Segregation forever! It’s a matter of diversity As prime minister, Trudeau has no say where members of other parties sit in the House of Commons. However as party leader he can decide where MPs in his own party sit within the Liberal benches. Trudeau should use his own concept of diversity to make it more prominent in the House of Commons. The Little Potato (a name given to him on his recent trip to China) needs to show his unique understanding of diversity by seating female Liberal MPs on the back rows. Practise what you preach, Justin! Speaking of preaching,...

We may never know until after election what is the cause of Clinton’s persistent coughing, hacking, freezing and collapsing, but we do know she’s got a bad case of ‘Necromancy’ The Democrats deliberately keep the masses speculating on whether Hillary Clinton’s dramatic collapse at Ground Zero on Sunday is proof of Parkinson’s Disease, pneumonia or diplomatic flu. Both Dems and Clinton must want the YouTubes watched by the masses because neither has ordered Google, which owns YouTube, to take the still going viral videos down. We may never know until after election what is the cause of Clinton’s persistent coughing,...

Desperate to smother the issue of Hillary Clinton's physical debilitation and her "deplorables" remarks the media has take to slapping Ivanka Trump around with past quotes from her father. Interview implosions are not specific to cable news. Sometimes, they happen in print. In fact, when they do, it’s almost more shocking. Here’s a good example. Ivanka Trump has been really, really pushing her big pet project, paid maternity leave, for a while now. She even got her father, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, on-board. One major step in pushing her agenda has been media appearances. This morning on Good Morning America, she...

On Wednesday Rev. Faith Green Timmons of the Bethel United Methodist Church interrupted Donald Trump during his speech at her church in Flint, Michigan. Pastor Timmons asked Donald Trump to refrain from attacking Hillary Clinton in her church. But prior to his visit to the church Pastor Timmons posted her intentions on Facebook. She said, “Today is the day! We have a chance to show DONALD TRUMP than this nation is filled with intelligent, wise black citizens fo integrity many of whom live right here in FLINT, MICHIGAN. What he will see is how we are braving a manmade catastrophe....

The Republican nominee’s attack on an African-American pastor shows his discipline is not rock solid. Donald Trump’s newfound commitment to message discipline and restraint showed some cracks on Thursday, with the Republican nominee attacking an African-American pastor who cut off his political speech in a Flint, Michigan, church. "Well, I was in Flint yesterday and it was a very interesting experience and got unbelievably good treatment from people, I must say, and even in that audience, the treatment was great. But something was up because I noticed she was so nervous when she introduced me," Trump said in a telephone...
