“I’ll still be me” The hiring of Donna Brazile by Fox News as a contributor should be taken at face value: Proof positive that the Number One Cable Network is no longer teetering toward the left but is now an active part of it. Brazile’s arrival in the aftermath of Fox News suspending Judge Jeanine Pirro all for asking questions about radical Somalian activist Ilhan Omar on her ‘Justice’ show, is not only a slap in the face to Pirro and her many followers, but a slap in the face to the network’s many conservative viewers.

Helicopter parenting, the practice of hovering anxiously near one’s children, monitoring their every activity, is so 20th century. Some affluent mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines chugging ahead, clearing any obstacles in their child’s path to success, so they don’t have to encounter failure, frustration or lost opportunities. – NYT Snowplowing, more appropriately known as bulldozing, is a large reason why millennials, and now the GenZ cohort, are having trouble in life and at work. A third of millennials fail to even make it through their three-month probation periods. It appears when left to their own...

I do like the "longer days" (under DST) in summer and I also like to have the "extra" hour of sleeping time in the fall when reverting back to ST again. Who could argue with that? Not only that, the time is getting shorter and—if you believe it—can now even be reversed. So, if you remember the date—and scroll back to that specific time window—when your hammer hit your thumb instead of the nail, you ought to no longer feel any pain. Perhaps, it’s a bit of extrapolation on my part; I don’t even know. After all, the headline says:

Rethinking the Economic Recovery: A Global Green New Deal In a stunning revelation from a 2009 UN document titled “Rethinking the Economic Recovery: A Global Green New Deal“, it is discovered that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ (AOC) Green New Deal is not a new movement of the people, but rather a crafty (and plagiarized) creation of a small group of global elite working through the United Nations. This 144-page report was headed by Edward B. Barbier, a professor of Economics and Finance at the University of Wyoming at the time, but specifically prepared for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)

Donald Trump is the personification of all that the Socialists/Commuinists hate Last week Nancy Pelosi (D-CA),made a statement in an interview with the Washington Post that impeaching President Donald Trump was “not worth it…” For intelligent people who do not buy into the mainstream media’s non-stop barrage of attacks against the president, it seemed an idiotic statement. Anyone who understands how the process of impeachment works also understands there are not enough votes anyway to move to convict Trump of something that would qualify as “impeachable.” Certainly, since the 2016 election the “Democrat” Party has attempted to manufacture some type...

There are two major investigations taking place concurrently at the U.S. Department of Justice; i.e., Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged Trump-Russia collusion and U.S. Attorney John Huber’s investigation into purported FBI misconduct. The Mueller investigation began in May 2017. U.S. Attorney John Huber’s investigation began in November 2017 after former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions bowed to congressional pressure and selected Huber to look into alleged malfeasance by FBI officials. John Huber, a Utah-based U.S. Attorney appointed by President Obama in 2015, is looking into the FBI’s use of dubious Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court applications to...

There was a time, long before compartmentalized special access programs, that other people created their very own secret organizations. These programs operated outside of government control, and oversight. In fact, during the last century, the United States was full of these “fraternal” organizations. Most of which operated with a secret side. And most, of which, were men-only membership and required rituals to join, and tasks to complete. All in secret. Here we look at one of them; the Dellschau flying machine project. Secret Organizations… These other people, and these other organizations, created societies with membership, and worked those programs to...

Magpul Expands Into Traditional Rifle Stock Offerings, Including A Model For The Remington 700. Magpul has expanded into more traditional rifle stocks and is taking them to new levels. I was recently sent a Magpul "Hunter" stock for the Remington 700 series rifles to test. Now, admittedly, I'm not much of a hunter. I choose to spend my shooting time a bit more tactically, but with that said, I really do like this stock. The version I received was in basic black, but other available colors include flat dark earth, stealth gray and olive drab green. This stock features reinforced...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Turns out, one outright commie in the race is enough, even for Democrats. – New York City Mayor Bill “Meatless Mondays” DeBlasio thinks he is cut out to be our president, oh, he really does. So, he ventured up to New Hampshire to test the waters there yesterday, and boy was that a bad idea. DeBlasio was the lead “attraction” for an event billed as a panel discussion about healthcare. But it appears that no one in the Granite State much cares about healthcare, or getting up close and personal with Bill...

In the introduction to his 2006 book “The God Delusion,” author Richard Dawkins boldly declares his goal: “If this book works as I intend, religious readers who open it will be atheists when they put it down.” It is a goal that has meant Dawkins’s books have courted controversy ever since. Now, a group of translators wants to get Dawkins’s books in front of a new group of religious readers: Muslim readers, in Muslim-majority countries where atheism is rare. “If you get enough people to talk about these ideas, if you convince people it’s okay to think about religion, to...

Irish prime minster Leo Vadakar visited the White House on Thursday to present the shamrock bowl Tradition dates back to 1952 when Irish head of state visited Harry Truman's White House First Lady Melania and President Trump received the crystal bowl of shamrock from the Taoiseach

An analysis of the reaction to the NZ mosque shooter and his motivation by the mainstream media.

As I mentioned earlier, AOC is MELTING DOWN at that fact that the more people know her… the LESS they like her. According to Fox News: U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s unfavorable rating has spiked after just months in Congress, with most of the public viewing her negatively rather than favorably, a new poll shows. The New York Democrat shot to fame amid the party’s lurch to the left and embracement of socialist policies such as the Green New Deal, yet the more people learned about the 29-year-old freshman congresswoman, the more they were turned off by her. If by “turned...

The International Criminal Court is an illegitimate globalist institution being used by enemies of the United States and Israel as a political lawfare weapon U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced on Friday new U.S. visa restrictions on those individuals directly responsible for any International Criminal Court (ICC) investigation of U.S. personnel in connection with U.S. and allied military and intelligence activities in Afghanistan. The ICC prosecutor had previously requested approval from the ICC’s judges to launch a formal investigation into what the prosecutor called the “situation in Afghanistan.” That request is still pending. Secretary Pompeo warned all those working...

“In the long run, we are all dead.” –JOHN MAYNARD KEYNES______________________________________________________________________________________________________________INTRODUCTION John Maynard Keynes, an English economist and author, has been held in high esteem for several decades thanks to his groundbreaking work in economics in the early 20th century. The theory he popularized in an attempt to better understand the Great Depression, aptly named Keynesian theory, revolutionized demand-side economic policy at the time. For those who haven’t studied the riveting subject of macroeconomics since college – sarcasm, of course, for everyone out there that doesn’t live and breathe the subject like we do – Keynes advocated for increased...

For too long, we have been forced to tolerate the intolerable. Time to fight back. Without further ado, let’s cut to the chase: The left in America is inches away from winning. Repeat: The left in America is inches away from winning. Evidence: Millions of students, kindergarten through graduate school who, due to brainwashing and indoctrination by a leftist dominated educational system, believe socialism is The Way and that “the planet” is in immanent danger of environmental destruction; millions of criminal invaders, entirely unvetted, possibly disease carrying, allowed to roam free, murdering, raping, stealing at will, and adding the coup...

Fox is officially in the tank for the Liberals. “Donna Brazile on being signed as a Fox contributor: “There’s an audience on Fox News that doesn’t hear enough from Democrats. We have to engage that audience.” — Howard Kutz So much for fair and balanced. Brazile is a known liar and cheater who should be under investigation for her role in many schemes during the 2016 election. One of the schemes was feeding debate questions to Hillary Clinton before a televised debate. Who said crime doesn’t pay?

Fox News has suspended Jeanine Pirro for some comments she made about Ilhan Omar Pirro suggested during her March 9 show that Omar's religious beliefs were at odds with the U.S. Constitution. "Omar wears a hijab, which, according to the Quran 33:59, tells women to cover so they won’t get molested." Pirro said. "Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?" Fox News condemned Pirro's comments, saying it had addressed the matter directly with the host. Pirro asked a very fair question. Sharia law is not...

I give my thoughts on the recent Christchurch attacks, and the government and media's response, i.e. more censorship, less guns.
