Two years ago I chased down a single dad whose son attended schools in the same district as the infamous Missourian Michael Brown. Sixty-six-year-old Paul Davis, a cab driver and son of Mississippi sharecroppers, decided to pay $1,500 in rent atop his mortgage just to get his son Robert out of some of the nation’s most violent schools by establishing residency in a better school district. Davis told me about the time in fifth grade other black boys had held Robert down until he peed on himself; the time bullies stole his book bag; the many times they attacked Robert—in...

You have to admit there is a twisted sense of satisfaction derived from delivering a good insult. It is even more gratifying when your intended target does not realize it is an insult. Now, do not be squishy. No one is immune to the innate desire and even need to retaliate against folks who caused physical or mental anguish to you or someone near and dear to you. Sometimes turning the other cheek is not an option, particularly if the object of your retaliatory insult suffers from the pachyderm syndrome – thick skinned, thick headed and vocabulary disadvantaged. Before we...

A quick shoutout for Kellyanne Conway, Trump's campaign manager. She's a remarkable contributor: utterly fearless, keeps her composure -- even smiles -- in the face of the toughest of anti-Trump media and pundit attacks. And she's very good at lobbing shells at the Hillary camp as she deflects the incoming flack. Case in point is how well she handled Bill Maher the other night. Very thankful Kellyanne is at the helm.

Via dicentra, the Z-Man on the ongoing disappearance of mainstream media comment sections: Z-Man on the ongoing disappearance of mainstream media comment sections: The reason news sites are killing off comment sections is two-fold. One, it is usually where you get the bits of the news story our betters edited out in order to maintain the narrative. The "Minnesota man" in the story is identified in the comments as Jorge Gonzalez, an illegal from Guadalajara. It's where the "suspect wearing a red shirt" is identified as a black guy named T'Q'ull Ferguson with a Facebook page full of pics...

The number of people who will truthfully answer questions about their voting intentions has sunk to less than 10%. Because of this sharp drop, pollsters have had to rely on a different metric to pull out of people what is needed to make an educated guess about how an election is likely to turn out. That new metric is the level of enthusiasm for each candidate as found among his/her supporters. Up to this point, pollsters have largely avoided asking the enthusiasm question because they know darned well that the answers they get will not be helpful to their main...

LAS VEGAS (AIP) - If campainging has become a game of capturing special interest groups, then presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton would appear to have a leg up opponent Donald Trump with at least one cabal -the Bulimic and Anorexic Men of America (BAMA). "We love Hillary," said BAMA spokesman Melvin Fischer. "Anytime I've had an exceptionally good meal and contemplate actually digesting it I just pop one of Hillary's porn videos in my DVD player and I'm hurling in no time."

Have you ever tried talking and reasoning with a liberal about Obama or Hillary? Because, somewhere in that experience is your possible answer. It’s your problem, not mine You’ve possibly asked yourself, “Where the hell do all these flaming liberals come from?” I know I have asked myself that begging question repeatedly. I used to think liberals were inherent, were naturally meant by their DNA to be half the gene pool so we humans would always have “fair minded,” discussions and synthesis of ideas, and reach mutual conclusions for Humanity’s preservation. You know—like, from out of DNA—cometh survival?

The Leftist, Marxist, Islamist US media seems unable to mitigate or halt the smallest part of its juggernaut, including apparent, possibly criminal attempts to smear, derail, or have Donald Trump otherwise maybe even killed The Hill edition of September 16, 2016, seems to have its pinkish panties all in a twist up its fat butt over Donald Trump’s recent comments regarding theoretical disarmament of Bill Clinton’s wife’s guards. The Hill also whiningly reaches back in time to weep and moan about how, “The comment appeared to be similar to another gun rights remark he made in August when he suggested...

CNN is a total, complete, utter disgrace! Why do they need to cover up what Hillary said about the bombings in NYC. She said it was a bombing, and then a minute later she had the audacity to criticize Trump for saying it was a bombing, while CNN edits her 'bombing' comment out and tries to make her more presidential. This network is just in the septic tank for Clinton. I mean, just completely up Hillary's rear. But what's infuriating about it is that they're trying to be cute and half-assed about it, like trying to maintain some semblance of...

Here comes One World Government according to plan: All make like world leaders and “Bow to the King” “I”, “I”,”I”, “Me”, “Me, “Me””, “Me” Barack Hussein Obama is coming to the United Nations on Tuesday to brag to citizens of the world how they now belong to the globalists and their One World Government utopia. “In one of his last major appearances on the world stage, President Barack Obama will try to define how his leadership has made the planet safer and more prosperous when he gives his farewell speech to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday.” (AP, Sept. 17,...

I knew there was a reason  I still have a subscription to the Wall Street Journal; because when he is “on” Daniel Henninger’s Wonderland column is peerless. This week he was definitely on: Les Déplorables. Hillary Clinton’s comment that half of Donald Trump’s supporters are “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic”—a heck of a lot of phobia for anyone to lug around all day—puts back in play what will be seen as one of the 2016 campaign’s defining forces: the revolt of the politically incorrect.They may not live at the level of Victor Hugo’s “Les Misérables,” but it was only a...

In 1999, Wisconsin passed a statue which prohibited political subdivisions of the state from regulating firearms.  The statute was expanded in 2011 with the passage of the shall issue permit law, and again in 2015 when knives were included as items protected by the law. The City of Madison political structure has been ideologically opposed to the right to keep and bear arms for decades.  It has paid out in lost lawsuits when it attempted to criminalize open carry by claiming that open carriers were "obstructing justice" and charging them with "disorderly conduct". After Wisconsin passed the shall issue...

In most of our country's presidential "landslide" races, a common thread is that they weren't seen by media or casual voters. From Eisenhower to Reagan, they weren't seen. I am most confident in a landslide as long as the votes are counted fairly. Here is my prediction on how the presidential race of 2016 will turn. Click the map to create your own at 270toWin.com

"You can laugh, but it's so going to happen." That comment by the crazed SJW mirror's Hillary's thought on "allowable" free speech. College snowflakes (even in Canada) are being brainwashed into believing that "hate speech" (such as "Make America Great Again") is illegal and should be banned. This is also what Hillary Clinton believes. We know this because as Sec State, she pushed for ratification of UN Res. 16/18, which was created by the Organization of Islamic Countries to ban "Islamophobic" speech. By these "free speech" (sic) standards, any speech that "triggers" violence or even anxiety can and should be...

The media is growing increasingly unnerved at the fact that their endless attacks on Trump appear not to be having an affect on his poll numbers and at the fact that Trump pwned them twice in 2 days. They decided the only thing to do is ramp up the number of hit pieces. Check the Washington Post and New York Times for reference. The media is always looking for an opportunity to attack Trump. It only takes a sentence or a fragment of one. The media decided there was an opportunity to portray Trump as as too reactionary and therefore...

Gary Johnson is the poorest excuse of a candidate for President. As he is beyond being a total idiot, & his weak brain is fried from all the weed he has smoked over the years! "Aleppo" right? Johnson would not have looked so ignorant or clueless if he had at least said, "oh the Aleppo pine tree?" Even though we know it's a town in Syria, it's also a pine tree, full of sap like Johnson!

There’s been an explosion on West 23rd St. in Chelsea between Sixth and Seventh Avenues. I’m watching TV in New York. The whole thing is being ignored. Maybe 25 people have been hurt. We have two 10pm newscasts– on Fox 5 and Channel 11. Neither of them has cut into sports broadcasting to report the story. The local network affiliates– NBC, ABC, CBS– not a word. We are in the most media centric city in the world, mind you. CNN is trying to cover the story but Don Lemon can’t figure out where Chelsea is, or where the explosion is....

Can someone give me an approximate distance from East 14th Street and Avenue C to West 23rd Street and Sixth Avenue.

Norman Podhoretz, a founder of the neoconservative movement, said that he backs Donald Trump for president. With his endorsement in an interview this week in the Times of Israel, the former editor of Commentary magazine parts ways with the many neoconservatives who say they cannot support the Republican nominee because of his foreign policy views. Podhoretz, 86, said that any concerns he had about Trump are outweighed by his trepidation at a Hillary Clinton presidency. He cites especially her role, as secretary of state in President Barack Obama’s first term, in shaping last year’s deal in which Iran rolled back...

“Faithful Stewards” (Luke 16:1-15) In the Gospel for today, Jesus tells the Parable of the Dishonest Manager. This story is also known as the Parable of the Unrighteous Steward. The terms are interchangeable: dishonest or unrighteous; manager or steward. But keeping the titles straight is the least of the problems with this parable. This text from Luke 16, on its surface, is a difficult one to understand. It seems that Jesus is commending the dishonest manager, the unrighteous steward, for his unrighteousness! And what does Jesus mean by, “make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth”? What’s that all...
