Snowflakes Remember “Avatar?” James Cameron’s blue-face remake of Dances with Wolves? It was huge - really huge - back in 2009. For some reason, audiences couldn’t get enough of the preachy, poorly-scripted, special-effects epic. In fact, a certain subset of movie-goers became so wrapped up in the film that that press began writing about waves of global depression.

This could be the beginning of the end for embattled Sen. John McCain’s life in politics. According to White House sources, McCain is believed to have somehow gained access to the content of President Donald Trump’s private, classified telephone calls with world leaders. And he isn’t keeping quiet about what was talked about either.

Sure doesn't sound like it The “Not My President” protests on Presidents Day were further evidence that liberals are simply against anything and anybody Trump! When Tucker Carlson asked a protester on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to name one specific thing they were protesting against, he shifted the subject to other protests that had occurred. His apparent point was that a lot of people are anti-Trump, but he could not name one serious policy he’s against, other than the fact that Trump has not released his tax returns.

She will aim to sharply reduce the rampant waste in the UN budget, perhaps starting with the often overlapping, over-the-top pro-Palestinian agencies and programs the UN has established over the years. The Trump administration’s U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, has hit the ground running. She spoke truth to power by strongly calling out the United Nations for its anti-Israel bias and double standards. Her predecessor, Samantha Power, never came close.

Promises of lower taxes, decreased spending and balancing the books are not going to cut it. It’s NOT the economy, stupid! “It’s the economy, stupid!” The slogan, a variation of “the economy, stupid” coined by Democratic strategist political strategist James Carville worked well during the 1992 presidential election campaign. It helped Bill Clinton defeat incumbent George H.W. Bush who was seen as out of touch with the problems of ordinary people. In the early 1990s, the United States was hit with a mild recession and the economy was instrumental in making Bush Senior a one-term president.

In the event of a societal breakdown this is a simple DIY gun you can build yourself from pieces found or purchased at a hardware store.

President is the TARGET of the most dangerous group of EXTREMISTS on earth: our liberal press, television/entertainment The left’s HATRED of Donald Trump has gone beyond ‘art form’ and has progressed into a sick competition to win approval from fellow Trump haters and the liberal news-media/entertainment industry that have invented the new sport of Trump HATE. It’s quite obvious that the object of that HATE is to chastise the Donald and anyone who dared to act like a FREE AMERICAN. Just as I had diagrammed it in my last article, Trump HATE is gaining momentum with each morning’s freshly disparaging...

It turns out that congressional staffers have been taking money from an Iraqi politician. These staffers just happen to be the ones who were fired for attempting to access sensitive information. Imran, Abid, and Jamal Awan took $100,000 Dr. Ali al-Attar, money that — according to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group — was “funneled through a company with ‘impossible’-to-decipher financial transactions that the congressional information technology (IT) staffers controlled.” All three of the brothers are now under a criminal investigation. Imran Awan provided IT services for Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the disgraced Democrat who was forced to resign as...

This criminalization of everyday life is not just insanely costly and insanely counter-productive--it's insanely punitive. The average person has little exposure to the criminalization of everyday enterprise in America via over-regulation and outsized penalties for even accidental violations of rules and regulations. One field that continues to be burdened with excessive/counter-productive regulations and outsized penalties is the practice of medicine. I received the following email from a physician correspondent: "As you will see, physicians have to deal with the federal government's increasingly crazy and copious rules (like which patients they can screen for disease and how often). The following is...

Circling the wagons was a protective measure used to keep the enemy outside the circle while protecting those inside. The purposeful creation of “#FakeNews” is exactly this. Designed to forever keep “unwanted opinion” and those who speak against the Establishment on the outside. The media protecting the politician and the politicians protecting the friendly media in an never ending loop. Who is left outside? Us, the enemy. The outsiders are everyone who disagrees with their ideas, opinions and ideologies; and those that want change that isn’t begged from the shallow pits of the Globalists. If you’re not onboard with the...

An elementary school teacher in Collier County, Florida was reassigned to administrative duties over a Facebook post during the “Day Without Immigrants” protest last Thursday. Parkside Elementary School computer lab instructor Veronica Fleming linked to a Chicago Tribune story about the nationwide protest and offered her take on the situation. “The funny part about immigrants staying home is the rest of us who pay for them are here at work like we’ve always been. Looks like less mouths to feed today. Have fun while you still can. So glad to hear about massive deportation. Let’s make America great again. Thanks...

Remember that painting of protesters in St. Louis who have cops, depicted as pigs, pointing guns at them? The disagreement over the painting seemed to come to an end last month when the Architect of the Capitol concluded it violated rules for art hanging in the U.S. Capitol. Today the Hill reports that Rep. Lacy Clay will file a federal lawsuit against the Architect of the Capitol seeking to have it restored: . . . The painting was hanging in a hallway near the U.S. Capitol until early January when GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter took it down and returned it...

It seems that Muslim immigrants are slowly taking over Sweden. We know that a 60 MINUTES crew had been attacked in an attempt to cover Sweden’s progress in dealing with the growing population of Muslim immigrants. Liz Hayes and the 60 Minutes crew were attacked while filming a report. . After accepting almost 165,000 refugees in 2015, Sweden is described as “starting to buckle” from the strain on its infrastructure. Now, the report that was being filmed, complete with gripping footage of Hayes and members of the 60 Minutes crew being attacked and targeted with projectiles in Rinkeby Sweden, known...

Having a laser and flashlight on your pistol may be the thing to have and it does look highly cool. Black Scout Survival is a collaboration of all things tactical and survival, goes over the practicality of mounting a laser or combined laser-flashlight on your pistol for home defense. So basically what it comes down to is for EDC (Every Day Carry) is not a practical thing, for a home defense it may be an invaluable tool to have. Before spending time getting a laser, be sure to work on your basic marksman shooting with iron sights. Slapping a laser...

Subtitle: The Establishment Strikes Back. “I like thinking big. I always have. To me it’s very simple: If you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.”— Donald J. Trump Among the accusations directed at President Trump (DJT), I don’t recall anyone calling him stupid. Beginning with Ronald Reagan, the drive by media regarded every Republican president as intellectually weak, and too dim to lead our nation. Not so with DJT. Perhaps his opponents know it is an easily dismissed charge, and to go there would only embarrass themselves. A man who took a small, inherited fortune,...

Federal Prosecutors In Oregon Get Help From The New Attorney General-The Arguments In The Nevada Trial A jury was picked in Portland last week. 12 jurors and 4 alternates to hear the charges against the four defendants in the scond Oregon Standoff trial.

Here’s how most Venezuelans lost an average of 19 pounds in 2016, and how to make sure it doesn’t happen again in 2017 In early 2017, a nationwide survey of the people of Venezuela showed that during the year 2016, almost 75% of the population had lost weight due to not having enough food, and that their average weight loss was 19 pounds.Before I explain how this came to happen, I want to start out by explaining what did not cause this to happen.Many media outlets have been blaming Venezuela’s food shortages on the 2014 collapse in the price of oil....

There is not a second, a minute and an hour that goes by without some liberal media outlet attempting to smear the President through the dissemination of lies and the distortion of facts, aka fake news, aka a crock of slander. The liberal mainstream media is involved in a conspiracy to take down President Trump by every means at their disposal. The liberal mainstream media is the agitprop arm of the Democratic Party. The liberal mainstream media are dutiful minions and scribes of the global elite and the Washington establishment. The latest crisis concocted by the alt-left media pertains to...
