It is often said that the current situation in Venezuela is reminiscent of the first (Cuban) Caribbean crisis. Moreover, the front pages of the left-wing misinformation media are full of headlines about the “right-wing coup in Venezuela.” The recent deployment of a small unit of Russian special forces in Venezuela leads to click-baiting with the “Carribean Crisis 2.0” headlines. Let us look at a few of the actors in this “Caribbean Crisis 2.0” and the “right-wing coup.” The new (self-proclaimed) Venezuelan President Juan Guaido is a member of the Venezuelan Popular Will party (Voluntad Popular). Well, a party had previously...

You've probably heard about how the 2016 Presidential Election has been called "The Flight 93" election. Check this article in The Spectator from just a few months ago: What happens when Americans sense that there is a contempt for God, marriage, children, morality, free speech, free association, hard work, individualism and decency and the contempt is led by the Democrat President and amplified by the media, entertainment, educational, and cultural elite? The government subsidizes bad behavior by seeking out people to put on food stamps, gives out “free” phones, encourages illegal behavior, degrades the military, dismisses acts of violence against...

Some thoughts on the recent wave of social media censorship.

President Trump’s threat to close the border with Mexico to stem the tide of illegal immigration was slammed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) as “vote suppression, pure and simple.” She cited a study “Immigration Status, Immigrant Family Ties, and Support for the Democratic Party,” by researcher George Hawley in support of her contention. “This study shows that immigrants overwhelmingly vote for Democrats,” Pelosi pointed out. “Trump’s efforts to block the arrival of new voters from Latin America is, therefore, discriminatory and unconstitutional.” Hawley’s report projected that “unconstrained immigration—legal or illegal—will within a short period of time lead to a...

VIDEO The opening credits of the 1960 film "Where The Boys Are," filmed in 1959, inadvertently proves that despite the hype to the contrary, there has been NO noticeable sea level rise in South Florida. This observation of the aerial shot of the Ft. Lauderdale beaches in that movie as a way to compare to the width of today's beaches was first made several years ago by Brian Craig, co-host of the Steve Kane show on WWNN radio. This video takes that film clip and compares it with recent aerial photos of the beaches in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Also...

Brian Hagedorn was a dead man walking. Michael Screnock’s 12-point drubbing a year ago seemed like a best-case scenario. His liberal opponent had an overwhelming fundraising advantage, hundreds of thousands of dollars more in support from Eric Holder’s PAC and Planned Parenthood, and the residual wave of Governor Evers’ stunning upset just five months earlier. Yet Hagedorn punched anyway, and punched back so hard that it got Wisconsin’s vaunted conservative grassroots off the mat and in his corner. Hagedorn couldn’t possibly win, not with the endless news reports about his old blog posts, Christian school policies, and Alliance Defending Freedom...

In an age where we are all so ‘woke’I thought it would nice from time to time to pay respects to the mid-twentieth century movement that made all this  possible: Feminism. The feminist movement chose an internationally recognized symbol long associated with oppressionto express their ideology and objectives. The world largely ignored this obvious affiliation with a movement that was otherwise shunned by Western countries at the time, leaving feminism to continue its march towards “equality.”How did the feminist movement do in the intervening half century? I leave you to decide for yourself, based on contemporaneous facts and reports from...

... Carrying through on a promise he made during a freewheeling speech he delivered at CPAC a few weeks ago, the president has issued an executive order that throws the power of the federal government into the protection of free speech in higher education. Entitled “Improving Free Inquiry, Transparency, and Accountability at Colleges and Universities,” the order mandates that the heads of several federal agencies work with the Office of Management and Budget to take “appropriate steps” to safeguard “free inquiry” on campus. Schools that violate whatever regulations emerge from the order would be subject to losing their federal funding....

“Que dios te bendiga,” my grandmother would bless my brother and me every morning as we left for school, making the sign of the cross in front of us. She immigrated here from Mexico when she was seven years old, and though she passed away many years ago, her influence on me is still strong. As a candidate for President of the United States, her memory guides how I think about many issues — most notably, our immigration policy.

In this cartridge comparison of .300 Blackout and the iconic .308. The respective cartridges have their strengths and weaknesses. Both cartridges are .308 calibers, comparing the two is a bit of a challenge because we need to view it from various performance specs. These performances takes place in several categories and we'll be able to see which application is best with the respective caliber. So there is more to it than choosing one cartridge and saying this is better than the other. Instead we’ll let situations dictates which cartridge is best for. .300 Blackout Quick History The .300 Blackout made...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Ok, it’s official, the long knives are out for Creepy Uncle Joe. But who’s controlling the knives? – When you are leading the horse race polls for the Democrat Party presidential nomination and the news-faking Democrat activist lapdogs at the New York Times start going after you, you know that someone else in your own party is coordinating the effort to take you out. For Joe Biden, the question at this point is who? On Tuesday the Times ran a report detailing not one, but two more women who have come forward...

BREAKING NEWS! Suspect In The Sleighing Of Rapper Nipsey Hussle Arrested!

President Trump wants a probe on how the Russia investigation began. I think it is absolutely needed, and I plan on digging up facts which have yet to be discovered. Below is breaking news, and it is very interesting but not shocking. James Clapper has announced that Obama ordered the Russia investigation. Are you surprised? Not me. The source for the above video is One America. We have another source in the below video, and I believe Clapper gives us all the evidence we need to accept the fact Obama began the Russian probe. Clapper says that he began a...

Just home from working the Polls. Final numbers for the entire district won’t be available yet, but I fully expect the D to pick up this seat. Raja lost at the polling place by more than 20%. Turnout at the polling place I was at was far far above most if not all that were voting today. Obviously other polling places could have a different turnout and Raja could win, but I would not bet on it. Another horribly run campaign with a bad candidate.. This loss, if it turns out that way, will not be from lack of spending,...

CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour called "lock her up" chants by Donald Trump supporters "hate speech" in a new interview and asked James Comey if he wished he had "shut down that language" in his capacity as FBI Director at the time. Amanpour recounted the frequent chants at Trump 2016 campaign rallies about imprisoning Hillary Clinton for her perceived crimes and wondered if they should have been legal, but Comey responded it was not the role of government officials to censor that speech. "Do you, in retrospect, wish that people like yourself, the head of the FBI, the people in charge...

Between one and two more million invaders are predicted to illegally enter the country this year Many Americans are asking why the Democrats and their running dog RINO accomplices in Congress are so adamantly refusing to move to even slow, much less stop, the massive invasion of illegal aliens across our southern border. It’s an excellent question to which there are seemingly myriad answers, many of which are partially correct. However, underlying them all is one that is now fundamental, the driver, that is propelling the juggernaught: the Cloward and Piven strategy.

Banning sanctuary cities has a very real chance of passing in Florida this year — and that’s creating an emotion-driven battle with Democrats and the open-borders lobby. The sanctuary bill sponsored by Sarasota Republican Sen. Joe Gruters — who is also Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida — has become the most contentious issue of the year in the seemingly always-contentious Florida Legislature. While such legislation has not gone anywhere in past sessions, it is fast-tracked this year with the Republican leadership structure all onboard. Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose popularity has swelled since his narrow election in November, is...

For the Comey family bringing down President Trump seems to be generational. The Southern District of New York (SDNY), which in effect, is replacing the failed Robert Mueller Special Counsel Russia probe, will have much more leeway in the diehard agenda to bring down President Donald Trump. …”Prosecutors in Manhattan’s Southern District aren’t saddled with a limited mandate like special counsel Robert Mueller in his Russia probe; they can follow the trail wherever it leads.”

Burning question: Why is it that Biden was a long time groper—but one only being outed this week? It’s Not Joe Biden Who Can Be Heard Hollering From Under the Bus But the Hollering of Those Who Threw Him ThereQuestion of the day: Why did the Democrat Party blatantly ignore Joe Biden’s fulsome career of fondling and groping women until this week? In August of 2016, Biden gave Hillary Clinton what CNN called an “endless embrace”:
