To stop the Democrats and their societal transformation, Republicans must adhere to a strategy that begins with a punch in the mouth I wish to enter my dying protest against what is called the Democratic Party. I have watched it closely since the days of Jackson and know that all the misfortunes of our nation have come to it through this so-called party, therefore beware of this party of treason.

Brainwashing and forced ideological conformity are what colleges today are all about When parents send their kids off to college, they assume they will receive training that prepares them for a lifetime of employment. However, the truth is most of America’s colleges spend precious little time imparting practical skills to students. As tuitions and student loan debt grow at historic rates, an extraordinary amount of classroom time is spent indoctrinating students with leftist propaganda. It pays off for the Left which uses the existing taxpayer-supported system to churn out America-hating subversives. Parents send their kids to colleges and universities, and...

The GOP failures during the George W. Bush years contributed to the victory of the most liberal President of all-time, Barack Obama. This time, Republicans need to deliver on their mandate or they will be sent packing by the American people In early 2009, conservative activists started meeting across the country to organize the first Tea Party rallies and express their opposition to the liberal agenda of President Barack Obama. Activists were most concerned about the biggest component of the President’s agenda: the socialized healthcare plan formally known as the Affordable Care Act, but referred to as Obamacare.

Mark Levin, Conservative Review’s editor-in-chief, recommends the Trump administration open an investigation into Barack Obama. Levin states the former president used the government to wiretap then-candidate Trump during the 2016 election. “The gravity of this is unparalleled. It appears that during the course of a presidential election, the Obama administration used both intelligence and law enforcement agencies to investigate the Republican nominee's campaign and certain surrogates,” Levin tells Conservative Review. Levin – who served as chief of staff for President Reagan’s Attorney General Ed Meese – explained the potential scandal on his Thursday evening radio show: “We have a prior...

Communist persecution and the deliberate famine Stalin engineered in Ukraine: In only a few years, some 6-7 million Ukrainians perished in what they call the Holodomor. Over the years we have been overwhelmed with extraordinary movies and documentaries about the Holocaust and the various atrocities of Nazi Germany. These horrific crimes against humanity deserve to be examined over and over again so they are never repeated. But we see so little about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) which killed more people than Hitler did, rivaled the repressive state apparatus of Nazi Germany, and easily outlasted the so-called Thousand-Year...

Over the last few weeks, the “Deep State” has been conducting war against President Trump and his administration. Democrats in congress and their stenographers in the mainstream media are celebrating “victories” over political adversaries by means of drawing fake news from anonymous leaks. Facts, it seems, have no place in these contrived assaults on the White House. During just over five weeks in office this president has been under near constant attack by the unelected bureaucrats who pose a direct threat to America’s democratic institutions. It literally represents a threat to the peaceful transition of power and directly undermines both...

We are beginning to get the facts behind the Sessions/Russia Ambassador meetings. But MOST OF ALL, we are beginning to understand there is no longer a distinction between those opposing Trump and the worst of those in the PROGRESSIVE movement. They are one in the same, and in understanding this will help us to win this war. These progressives will lie and do anything it takes to get to Trump, and they are working for Obama. Don’t forget that Obama’s new group OFA with their headquarters at Obama’s new home are following Saul Alinsky’s rules for radicals. Basically he explains...

SIERRA VISTA — Credit — or blame? — the Army for the first drive-through fast food restaurant in the world. Impossible as it may seem to believe today, especially in an Army town like Sierra Vista, home to Fort Huachuca, where camo is as frequently seen among residents as sunshine, there was a time when soldiers had strict orders not to wear their fatigues off the military base. For local businesses in town, like the McDonald’s restaurant on Sierra Vista’s main drag, Fry Boulevard, that spelled trouble. “I don’t know why,” current owner LeAnn Richards wondered of the rule. “We...

It should come as no surprise that the Obama Administration weaponized the government for use against their enemies (that would be citizens previously protected by the Constitution).First he weaponized the DOJ for use against his political enemies. although in fairness he was against it before he was for it.Then he weaponized the IRS for use against his political enemies. Although the IRS was by no means the only branch of Treasury used to coerce people into doing what the Obama Administration wanted; other arms were used in conjunction with the DOJ to implement “Operations Chock Point.”  So when Mark Levin...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3530542/posts I wrote a blog post on the topic of BTC moving rapidly toward becoming the dominant "World Cirrency". The intentional misspelling of the word "CURRRENCY" was intended to draw attention to the fact that a decentralized transaction accounting system aka BLOCKCHAIN is really the most important part of the "value". Not the BTC or fractional BTC currently valued at about $1200 ea or ETH currently valued at about $20 each

The new changes are as follows: Although it still includes tax credits that vary by age, Republicans are considering not allowing wealthier people to qualify for the credits. There are no specifics about the cutoff, although as we reported this week, that could be in the next draft. “Grandmothered” plans are no longer allowed to remain in the market indefinitely. These are plans that existed before Obamacare’s implementation, but didn’t meet its coverage requirements. In addition to the “state innovation grants” in the earlier version of the bill, this draft creates a reinsurance fund. It would reimburse insurers for enrollees...

President Trump exploded on Twitter early Saturday morning, blasting former President Barack Obama for allegedly wire tapping his phones before the election. “Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!” he declared. “Is it legal for a sitting President to be ‘wire tapping’ a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!” he added. Trump has the authority to declassify almost any classified material, and could substantiate his accusations if he wanted to. The Saturday-morning Twitter storm was striking...

Suppressors are currently under the jurisdiction of the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). That means suppressors may not be sold to individuals overseas, only to approved governments. Suppressors are not extraordinary high technology. Sophisticated suppressors are not secrets. They can be produced by any concern with modern machinery. The current restrictions were put in place by a memorandum from the Department of State in 2002, a few months after the attack on 9/11.  While U.S. manufacturers are forbidden to sell to individuals overseas, foreign manufacturers are not.  A bill was introduced in the House of representatives in 2016...

Donald Trump has accused Barack Obama of “wire tapping” his offices in New York City before the presidential election in November last year. Launching a series of tweets at 5.35am eastern time on Saturday morning, the US president said: “Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!”

(Watch Limbaugh Video At Link) As Democrats and the major media attack Attorney General Jeff Sessions and push claims of the Kremlin’s influence on the Trump administration and Russian interference in the presidential election, one of the nation’s most prominent conservatives insists there really is a huge scandal. But not the one the media are reporting. Rush Limbaugh said the real scandal is that a “silent coup” is underway against President Trump. “There is the execution of an attempt at a peaceful coup,” said the radio talk show host on Friday. “A peaceful coup to oust Donald Trump is what...

STAMFORD — Police say the 19-year-old Cove man charged with sexually assaulting a 3-year-old girl was supposed to attend an immigration hearing only hours before he was arrested Thursday morning. Douglas Hus-Flores, a Guatemalan native, appears to have been living in Stamford illegally, police said. An immigration detainer has been placed on him as well as a $250,000 court appearance bond, following his arraignment at the Stamford courthouse Thursday afternoon. Hus-Flores was charged with first-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor after the toddler was transported to Stamford Hospital for injuries and bleeding police say she sustained...

Struggling to make the racial composition of staffers more closely resemble the general population, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is urging more of the 93% who are Caucasian "to look deep into themselves to see if they may be Black, Latino, or Muslim." "We have made great strides incorporating transsexuals into the workforce to help boost the female cohort of our staff," Schumer remarked. "This got me to thinking that there must be a contingent of transracials out there who could help us meet our non-white quota. Maybe Rachel Dolezal was out ahead of the curve on this. I...

The meaning of the word "woke" used to be so simple before modern culture co-opted it. It was the past tense of wake: to become conscious after sleeping. But in some circles "woke" has taken on a deeper meaning. The new definition can be explained by Funmilola Fagbamila, an activist in residence at UCLA's Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy and an instructor in Pan-African Studies at Cal State LA. You might think of "woke" as a three-parter, Fagbamila said. That's because the definition doesn't just end at knowledge. To achieve the "woke" label, you must be willing to analyze...

When a German Shepherd rescue organization posted Elmo’s photo online last fall, it made no effort to mask the dog’s problems. He wore a cone around his neck to prevent him from licking the large open sore on his hip. His fungus-ridden feet were swollen. His graying, 11-year-old face held a pathetic, ears-to-the-ground gaze. Steve Frost, a retired fire captain in Northern California, said he saw the photo and thought Elmo “looked like hell.” He immediately decided he wanted the dog.
