The United Nations continues to turn a blind eye to the JCPOA’s fundamental flaws and the unenforceability of the ballistic missile restrictions in the Security Council resolution that endorsed the JCPOA. It has been a year since President Trump pulled the United States out of the Obama administration’s disastrous nuclear deal with Iran, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The other parties to the JCPOA - China, France, Germany, Russia, and the United Kingdom – have remained in the deal. However, the Iranian regime is getting impatient with the Europeans for allegedly not fulfilling their supposed economic...

Nevermind what they were discussing, but this hug had people cringing into next Tuesday. This is the most fake and awkward hug of all time. It wasn't even a full hug! I guess socialists hate each other too!

As the Democrat Lilliputians try to make Atty. Gen. William Barr the second cabinet officer to be held in contempt of Congress, it is serves us well to remember that Democrats didn’t quite have the same attitude toward a President protecting his administrative turf when the first, Eric Holder, was under President Obama’s executive privilege umbrella during the Fast and Furious scandal (sorry, Joe). Unlike the current “collusion delusion”, Holder/Obama’s Fast and Furious gun-running operation involved real crimes, real dead bodies, and real obstruction of justice as administration officials colluded with Mexican drug cartels to supply them with high-powered semi-automatic...

Democrats in public office continue their push for a godless state Today’s the day Democrat Pennsylvania State Rep. Brian Sims will learn that ‘Silent Prayer Speaks Louder Than Rants’. Rep. Sims, who unabashedly posted a video of himself following and keeping his camera on an elderly woman who was praying for over eight minutes, calling her “an old white lady” and bellowing out “shame on you. Shame”, thinks he got away with it. But today pro-life groups will hold a nation-wide ‘Rally Against Bullying’ in Response to Sims’ viral video. Related: The Devil and Mr. Sims

The Democratic party's inevitable infighting has begun, with progressives, moderates, and Bernie supporters all trading blows. Today's esteemed presenter from NowThis argues that concepts like "electability" are toxic and must be replaced- and while she claims to be defending "women of color," she conspicuously avoids talking about one woman of color's very controversial political campaign.

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Jabba the Nads has a case of the sads… – Go to this link to Watch Jabba the Nadler pout about his inability thus far to bully Gestapo Chief…er…Special Counsel Robert Mueller into testifying before the raging clown car that is the House Judiciary Committee. Gosh, why do you think Mueller, who has been all too happy to do the bidding of the Democrat Party in its never-ending efforts to remove President Donald Trump from office for two solid years now might be reluctant to come offer testimony before Jabba’s...

Veep Pence announced yesterday that the Trump admin is looking to put a stop to one of the #resistance crowd’s favorite tools: using a district court to shut down a national policy. The #resistance seeks out an injunction against a disfavored policy by forum shopping for a liberal activist judge to intervene and immediately the entire nation is subject to the whims of a regional court. Clever. “The Supreme Court of the United States must clarify that district judges can decide no more than the cases before them — and it’s imperative that we restore the historic tradition that district...

MADISON, Wis. — In castigating Republicans on Thursday for axing Medicaid expansion from Gov. Tony Evers’ budget proposal, Democrats on the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee showed their hand again. The massive spending plan is built like a house of cards, with “free” federal Medicaid money as its wobbly foundation. The Republican-led budget-writing committee voted 11-to-4 to remove 131 “non-fiscal” policy items from the Democratic governor’s $84.2 billion biennial budget proposal, including his plan to expand Medicaid in Wisconsin. A Legislative Fiscal Bureau analysis estimates extending the low-income poverty eligibility limits would reduce state Medicaid expenditures by $279.4 million over the...

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a proper FLOTUS Friday, so here goes.The MSM love to snipe that the anti-bullying message embedded in Melania’s BE BEST campaign should be taken to heart by our President. They mistake his online insults as bullying rather than a counterbalance to their 99% negative coverage. Oh, my bad…I exaggerated. A bit.Furthermore it’s possible to consider their own snarky stories about our FLOTUS a little over-the-top in the bullying department as well. The third Mrs. Trump is private and reserved, and seems to like it that way. The expertly crafted photos, ostensibly edited to protect...

VIDEO I wasn't sure at first what this turtle was doing. Had I known she was laying eggs I wouldn't have opened the patio door which made her run. Notice the crow hovering around the turtle. Later the crow tried to dig up the eggs. This video has convinced me that I need a telephoto camera for recording my nature videos. The camera would also need web connectivity, specifically with YouTube as well as to be water resistant for use in thunderstorms. Please let me know your camera suggestions in the comments.

Little pocket pistol not doing it for you? Perhaps you should pack this gun. Look at this immense muzzleloading gun small enough to pocket carry for Paul Bunyan that has a loud bang. In a video shared by Best of Weapons we have the king of all muzzleloading handguns. You will see massive flames coming from this big bore. This muzzleloading pistol will have heads turning at the gun range. But be sure to have a vise like grip or else it will fly away from you. Best words of advice is better hold on if anyone ever offers you...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Several times a week, I get some variation of this question: “When are the Democrats going to stop all of this madness?” – The simple answer, of course, is that they aren’t. The behavior of the leaders of the Democrat Party and their toadies in the fake news media is only going to become increasingly radical and unhinged until they are stopped. Many had thought – hoped – that their despicable daily behavior would calm down somewhat after the Mueller Witch Hunt had shut down and exonerated President Donald Trump. That obviously...

The promise of higher education has become a trap for tens of millions of Americans. The promise: Every one of us and our children could go to college, earn a degree, and set off on a good career, secure in the knowledge that we had gained the tools necessary for a productive life. The trap: Years (usually more than the advertised four) of indoctrination in the classroom and, more harshly, the dormitories, followed by decades of crushing debt, all made far worse by the realization that our degrees have qualified us for very little. It wasn’t always like this. Supporters...

A senior adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders and a member of the negotiating team that recently drafted his presidential campaign’s staff union contract was convicted in 2013 of embezzling funds from a steel workers union. On Wednesday, the Sanders’ campaign announced it had reached an agreement on its historic union contract with United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 400. Following the announcement, Charles Rocha, a senior adviser who helped orchestrate the agreement, announced on Twitter he was “proud to have been on the negotiating committee” that worked on the contract for Sanders’ campaign staff. Rocha, who also worked for...

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), former Georgia gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams (D) and several presidential candidates are among the big names in politics addressing students at graduations this year. Along with traditionally in-demand speakers like President Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, this year's crop of commencement speakers reflect a country inching closer to the highly anticipated 2020 presidential race. A number of universities have already announced Democratic presidential candidates as commencement speakers in recent months, picking from a field that has now grown to more than 20. Two Democratic presidential hopefuls — New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and...

When the head of Twitter's public policy department told the Senate he'd do more on conservative censorship, making it worse wasn't what most leaders had in mind! Unfortunately, that's exactly what seems to be happening -- to pro-lifers, Trump supporters, and even popular parody accounts. Three weeks ago, Carlos Monje Jr. was apologetic for the mistakes Twitter had made. A month later, he has a lot more to be sorry for. Their stories are different, but several victims of Twitter's bias have one thing in common: no one explained why. Mike Morrisson, who's been running a popular "AOC Press" account...

The pompous toad who now runs the House Judiciary committee, Jerry Nadler, has declared that the United States is now in the midst of a Constitutional crisis. Here is his hyperbolic rant: During a press conference after the House Judiciary Committee voted to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt on Wednesday, House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler (D-NY) stated that we “are now in a constitutional crisis.” Nadler said, “We’ve talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. We are now in it. We are now in a constitutional crisis. … Now is the time of testing...

Is Hillary Clinton running a non-campaign campaign for president? The twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate isn’t interested in discussing an endorsement for 2020, and sources close to Clinton have repeatedly said she hasn’t closed the door on a rematch with President Trump. Then on Wednesday, just days after wrapping up a national speaking tour with husband and former president Bill Clinton, Obama’s secretary of state headed to the first 2020 primary state of New Hampshire to lecture about her decades of experience in world affairs as a career politician. ~snip~ There was also plenty of loaded language to suggest Hillary hasn’t...

Sen. Bernie Sanders told MSNBC on Thursday that his strategy for defeating Donald Trump in 2020 will be to speak to his working-class base and "expose him as the fraud that he is." "Trump essentially lied to the American people," Sanders said. "Who were hurting, and for too many years the Democratic leadership ignored that pain and ignored the midwest and the flyover states." "So you expand the base, talking to working people and young people, and we expose Trump for the fraud that he is... when he campaigned on being a friend of the working people," he explained. "You...
