Shortened title. Full title: SICK! Mad Maxine Waters Invites Trump Treasury Secretary in to Testify – Abuses Him, Threatens Him, Holds him for 3.5 Hours This is your Democrat Party at work— Thugs and tyrants. Mad Maxine Waters called in Trump Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to testify on Tuesday. She knew he had prior commitments but held him in committee for three-and-a-half hours. Then she berated him, abused him and threatened him when he asked how long the sideshow would continue. This was a Democrat show-trial.

President Donald Trump announced on Monday, April 8, 2019, that the United States is designating Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a foreign “terrorist organization” as part of an effort to increase international pressure on the country It is the first time the US has labeled another nation’s military as a terrorist organization. The White House said the IRGC was Iran’s primary means of “implementing its global terrorist campaign”. This designation ends the façade that the IRGC is part of a normal military. Labeling the IRGC as a terrorist organization will allow the US to impose further sanctions – particularly...

Some thoughts on yesterday's congressional hearings targeting dissident speech and what the future looks like.

Search for Frankfurt School. Top Google returns ridicule it as "tinfoil hat" fantasy. Wikipedia's article on Frankfurt School is instant-eye-glazing boring. (Reading Bella Dodd's School of Darkness, you sense that any adherents of the quasi-religious fervor of dedicated Communists 1930-1960 had to have a high tolerance for hyper-boring political theory.) But look into the key points of the Frankfurt School, you're seeing an x-ray of the intellectual chaos driving college campuses for the past 50 years. Herbert Marcuse, brought to the US to work in the WWII O.S.S. by Edward R. Murrow, is the anti-godfather of the past 3 generations of college campus...

The Mueller investigation summed up in eight seconds. Hint: The Coyote = Mueller, the Democrats, the mainstream media. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNjLcBWmDsA&feature=youtu.be

Instead she speaks from the scripted socialist agenda of Bernie Sanders' Brand New Congress Finally someone has asked the question about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that’s prominent on millions of minds: “Why are we paying attention to this woman?” AOC’s Tweet tsunami gets crazier by day, but the media dump her Tweets on the masses as though they’re manna from above. In her latest, she calls out millionaires as “narcissistic” with “psychopathic tendencies”, in spite of being hatched by self-admitted millionaire Bernie Sanders.

The Ah-Ha moment in pursuit of answers arising from limiting Reparations to Mexico and elsewhere.

Reparations? Yes. No, wait…not just yes, but HELL YES!And why not? Let’s make the riff between races in America more pronounced, let’s ensure the rent in our country’s social fabric rips deeper. That is definitely a winning strategy, if not for the country then at least for the Democrats. Because honestly what America needs most is less individualism and more tribalism. So let’s do that thing; let’s cough up money from the public coffers to make payments to people who’ve never been slaves to anything other than the Democrats’ plantation mentality. Let’s make people who have never even entertained the...

For about fifteen years, from 1995 to 2010, enrollments grew rapidly in the for-profit higher education sector, but since then have fallen substantially. The reason for the decline is mainly the overt hostility to for-profits during the Obama administration. The Department of Education killed off two of the largest for-profit competitors (Corinthian and ITT), and rhetoric from top officials created the impression that the for-profits were in general an educational scam. That impression is challenged a newly published book Unprofitable Schooling, edited by Todd Zywicki and Neal McCluskey. It consists of eleven interesting and varied chapters; the one I will...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Those loud noises you hear are the sounds of American liberal heads exploding. – Despite being the target of a clownish witch hunt of his own, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu was indirectly elected to serve a record fifth term in that job yesterday in Israel’s parliamentary elections. His conservative Likud Party in fact received its strongest percentage of the vote since the 2003 elections, winning 35 seats in the 120 seat legislature, where it will be able to form an alliance with other conservative parties who together won 30 seats. All...

The 19th century’s legendary Colt Single Action Army Revolver rides on in the 21st. Why would anyone today want to stake their life on a gun with a 146-year-old design and a 183-year-old lock work design? Well, there are good reasons, such as power and ease of hitting with the best pointing and fastest revolver ever made. I'm talking about Colt’s legendary M1873 Single Action Army .45 revolver. Thanks to Hollywood, it is the most recognizable pistol in the world today and the most intimidating. It doesn’t need Hollywood’s hype, though. This gun can still stand on its own virtues....

When the voting in Israel's General Election was over with the polls closed at 10pm local time, 3pm Eastern US time, exit polls came out showing different notions of who finished first.... The votes of soldiers remain to be counted and while Benjamin Netanyhu proclaims victory, Benny Gantz is saying the vote is not final yet..... British Prime Minister Theresa May meeting Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel and France's President Emmanuel Macron Tuesday trying to delay the Brexit deadline now set for Friday.... President Trump has until Friday to decide on an appeal of a federal judge's ruling Monday that asylum...

The exit polling shows that the "Blue and White" of former IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz is at 37 seats in the 120 seat.... Now media reports clearly state that Bibi Netanyahu is the winner of the election because he can form a coalition with parties on the Right that Benny Gantz could not..... Still to be counted the votes of the soldiers.....

In recent years, I've noticed a messaging trend in columns, commentary and sermons regarding a section of Scripture in Matthew 24. It's the, "As in the days of Noah," passage, and I believe some people are missing its central meaning. The point they make is that when the Lord returns, the world will be sinful like in the days of Noah, and as proof they use this part of the verse: "38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage..." In part, they claim it refers to the...

Title pretty much says it all. Video at link.

It's a strange feeling to share this aspect of my life. I'm taking a break to go back to school, but here's a peek into the part of my life I've kept hidden from the internet for many years. I was asked if I wanted to film my last mission and use it as an opportunity to explain "Multi-Domain Operations" to the public. After much consideration, I decided that this topic (especially the cyber-domain issue) was important and chose to help inform the public. My mission was to participate in a missile and torpedo engagement exercise at Pacific Missile Range...

Video: Chicago thugs violently assault innocent man. Then he pulls out gun and scares them away. He never pulled the trigger. The video below shows an incident that just happened in Chicago. Some violent thugs start brutally beating an innocent man. Then he pulls out a gun and scares them away. He never pulled the trigger.I challenge any anti-gun person to explain why this man was wrong to do what he did.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwhRJQsusJU

Retailers who had to destroy tens of thousands of bump stocks to comply with an ATF rule change have gone to the court seeking compensation. (Photo: Slide Fire Solutions)Two former retailers of now-banned bump stock devices are suing the federal government for damages they incurred after having to destroy their inventory. The plaintiffs include two companies, Minnesota’s Modern Sportsman and Texas-based RW Arms, as well as two individuals, Mark Maxwell and Michael Stewart, who in all lost 74,995 bump stocks to the ban which took effect late last month. The case, filed in a Washington, D.C. federal court, argues that...

A woman in the family is having a baby.  And she surprised us by giving the baby a name soon after she knew she was pregnant. The name was one of those that could easily be converted to a male or female version as soon as the sex was known. At first, I thought it strange to be naming the baby so early, but on second thought, I said to myself: "What a lovely way to begin conversations between mother and child -- and build bonds early." As it turns out, six months later, she may actually change the...
