VIDEO Joe Biden explains what an incredible genius he is.

Contender for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt) vehemently insisted that “our democracy entitles every person to cast a vote. Just because a person is in jail convicted of murder or rape shouldn’t block him from having a voice in selecting who shall govern.” “We need to be both open-minded and true to the democratic ideal no matter how disappointed we might be in the behavior of some of our fellow citizens,” Sanders maintained. “I realize that opposition to murder and rape is the majority opinion in the United States, but the minority still has a right...

The Swamp is what Sebastian Gorka means the Permanent State, not the Deep State. Gorka's right.  That's our number one enemy.  The Deep State may be more fiction than reality — with the exception of Lisa Strok, Comey, Boobamba, Sleepy Joe, and friends. The easiest way to destroy the Permanent State is to RELOCATE it.  Every large corporation recognizes the value of this strategy. Look at General Electric.  They could see bad times coming and knew they had to lop off a lot of useless executives pulling down deep salaries. What did they do?  They relocated from Connecticut to Boston. ...

MADISON, Wis. — In a significant victory for the Republican-controlled Legislature, and a rebuke of Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ swift political purge, the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the reinstatement of more than a dozen public servants confirmed during December’s controversial extraordinary legislative session. The 4-3 decision also is a stinging criticism of a liberal Dane County judge’s previous ruling and arguably signals how the conservative-led court will ultimately rule on the appeal before it. Seizing a narrow window of legal opportunity, Evers in March rescinded 82 appointments confirmed by the Legislature just weeks before the Democrat took office....

Illinois state Rep. Dianne Pappas (D-Itasca) offered what she says would be "the ultimate solution for ending abortions—castrating all men. All these pro-lifers who fret over the termination of unwanted children through abortion or euthanasia after birth could easily avert this so-called horror if they would agree with my 'plan B.'" "Do they have the balls to step up to the plate and take the step necessary to eliminate all future need for the abortion procedure?" Pappas wanted to know. "I suppose there'd be prattle about how we would propagate the human race if all men were castrated. But is...

Why no one is talking about this, one will probably never know. When I was doing my Master of Science in Business Intelligence degree I came across the below article in my research. The data comes from the Pew Research Center and is portending as to what s coming ahead. With the current pool of Democrat Presidential Candidates using the mantra "Free Medicare-for-all" they are living in the moment and not really looking forward. Several take aways stem from this article: The current Healthcare System is set up for geriatric care in addition to the number of patients, or volume....

In recent days, President Donald Trump has turned his Twitter account into a stream of 280-character invective against Democratic front-runner Joe Biden, giving the former vice president a somnolent nickname and calling him "not very bright." Despite the ability to broadcast his electoral weapon directly at his 60 million followers, could the president’s participation on his favorite social media network actually hamper his chances at winning a second term? Nearly half of voters, 46 percent, in a POLITICO/Morning Consult poll say that, yes, Trump’s Twitter use hurts his reelection campaign - more than twice the number who say his direct-to-voters...

Do you recall this golden promise from Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign? “We’re going to make America wealthy again,” he promised. “You have to be wealthy in order to be great.” Well, Trump voters, how is that working out for you? After almost two-and-a-half years with Trump in the White House — including two years with Republican control of both houses of Congress — the middle class is getting squeezed to a pulp. The rich got their Trump tax cut. GDP looks good. And the stock market is doing great for people with money to invest. But it is...

Freshman composition occupies a unique position in a college curriculum. It is the only class required of about 90 percent of enrollees whose diverse aptitudes and prior writing experience present a challenge for instructors every semester. In Why They Can’t Write, instructor John Warner of the College of Charleston proposes a course he says will minimize the challenge for instructors and have students writing “clearly, persuasively, even beautifully” by semester’s end. His “dream” is to have his course “adopted in every classroom across the country,” but this classroom veteran hopes that the Warner model stays just that—a dream. Before I...

Dr Young-hae Chi, an Oxford professor, believes that illegal aliens – of the intergalactic variety not the slightly less exotic variety currently drifting across our southern border at will - are breeding with humans. Because of climate change. Wow, Is there anything that climate change isn’t responsible for? In 2012, Dr Chi gave a lecture at the the Ammach Conference, titled ‘Alien Abduction and the Environmental Crisis’ in which he outlined his theory concerning the presence of aliens on earth. In his fifty-five minute presentation he cited Dr David Jacobs, an ‘abduction researcher’ in the US, who argued that aliens’...

Among the Model 1874 Sharps rifles made currently by C. Sharps Arms Company, the Carbine Hunter's Rifle seems to get the least attention. That really isn't fair because the Carbine Hunter’s Rifle is one of the Sharps versions that is most often found on the "guns in stock gallery." But there is more to it than just that, because the Carbine Hunter’s Rifle is a very shootable Sharps. Today's version of the Carbine Hunter’s Rifle is actually a combination of two rifles from the Sharps history. The Hunter’s Rifle was introduced by Sharps in 1875 and it was available in...

Here we spend some time exploring China. In particular some of those outstanding mountains that are just about everywhere. Please kindly note that this post has multiple embedded videos. It is important to view them. If they fail to load, all you need to do is to reload your browser. China is a land of some amazing nature and spectacular views. You look at the brochures, and the commercials, and the videos and say “Man oh man, I just have to go there and visit that place!“. Well, this is what it’s like… It’s all about the climb.

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) If you thought the shutting down of the Mueller Witch Hunt meant that the Deep State Cabal working within the Department of Justice was dead, well, think again. – Last night’s highly-coordinated leak reports by both the New York Times and the Washington Post show that there are still plenty of skunks and snakes operating within the walls of the DOJ. Hell, Robert Mueller himself and Rod Rosenstein both remain DOJ employees. So no one should be surprised at all that both of these mouth organs for the Deep State simultaneously issued...

ow many vicious, clever, angry, sputtering take-downs of Donald Trump is enough? If the president actually does something significant — as opposed to merely tweeting or saying something obnoxious or offensive — then pundits should certainly feel free to write about and denounce it. (I certainly do.) But the relentless, obsessive-compulsive focus on every Trumpian action and utterance by the likes of Max Boot, Jennifer Rubin, Michael Gerson, Bill Kristol, Peter Wehner, and a handful of other commentators is something else entirely. The Trump preoccupation says far more about the critics than the criticized.

"If Cuban troops and Militia do not immediately CEASE military and other operations for the purpose of causing death and destruction to the Constitution of Venezuela, a full and complete embargo, together with highest level sanctions, will be place on the island of Cuba. Hopefully, all Cuban soldiers will promptly and peacefully return to their island!" President Donald J. Trump Tweets Shortly After 5 PM Eastern April 30th, 2019 While there are hopes for change and a massive mobilization called for today in Venezuela, the regime of Nicolas Maduro hopes with its Cuban backed and supported security structure to win...

Twitter followers of Chase bank had plenty of #MondayMotivation, but it wasn't to save money. On Monday, Chase attempted to motivate its users on Twitter with a message aimed at those customers carrying low balances on their accounts. It started with a hypothetical conversation between a customer and their bank account, with the customer wondering why their balance was so low. The bank account "responded" with several tips, such as "make coffee at home," "eat the food that's already in the fridge," and "you don't need a cab, it's only three blocks."

In one former Soviet republic, Beijing’s blandishments get it only so far. Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan A trip to the picturesque capital of this mountainous landlocked republic in Central Asia feels a bit like traveling through time. The brutalist architecture and the monumental scale of the avenues and city squares show just how deeply the Soviet Union left its imprint, and the scarcity of Western-style shopping malls and food chains shows how slowly the local economy has grown since the Soviet collapse. Bishkek also offers a window into the future of Chinese power. The five countries in Central Asia—Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan...

VA Teacher Fired After Calling Trans Student “Her” [Video] Peter Vlaming, a Virginia French teacher, finds himself in the middle of a politically correct battle with the Virginia school system. Vlaming’s job was ripped out from under him after a split second decision to call a trans student ‘her’. The student was reportedly about to walk into a wall when the teacher instinctively said ‘stop her’. And so his ridiculous fight to keep his job began. That’s it… ‘stop her’, and a man’s livelihood is under fire. His religious beliefs- disregarded. According to Virginia Times, the high school in West...

This is ridiculous Liberals are trying to stop Trump from winning in 2020. Where that is no shock, it’s the how that’s bizarre. Instead of relying on Democracy and voting, Dems are attempting to take Trump off the ballot entirely over his tax returns.
