Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) A “special counsel” who has no idea what the word “justice” actually means. – Looking for all the world like a doddering, poorly-aging man in need of assisted living care and sounding like a stammering, nervous wreck, Gestapo Chief, er, Special Counsel Robert Mueller got in one final despicable smear at President Donald J. Trump today in a press conference at which he refused to take questions. Reading haltingly from a prepared text from which he never strayed, the man who spent 20 months conducting a depraved witch hunt designed...

VIDEO Joe Biden couldn't control himself at the May 28 Houston Town Hall. He did the last thing he should be doing: groping yet another girl. This brought a rather harsh response, as you will see, from his Democrat primary opponent, Mike Gravel.

Old School™—The Cure for Modern FollyEverything old is new again.—Peter Allen The passions of my life have converged. My interests have finally come together—Old School™ is here! It has always been in my bones. I just never saw it so clear until recently. My father was a World War II Navy veteran who went through some rough experiences in the war. He was a plumber—a simple, blue-collar guy with emotional complexities. My mother was a homemaker, as they used to call it, and I’m sure some still do. They were products of the war, and the Great Depression before it....

Gillette Does It Again, This Time With A Father Son Commercial That Doesnt Feature Actual An Son!? **video with commercial is 12 minutes long**

In the 1992 movie “A Few Good Men,” there is a courtroom scene where the prosecuting attorney (played by Tom Cruise) tells the defendant Marine officer Nathan Jessup (played by Jack Nicholson) that he wants the truth. To that, Jessup shouts back, “You can’t handle the truth.” What brings that to mind is the recent revelation that the College Board (CB) has begun calculating an “adversity score” for each student who takes its aptitude test, the SAT. Apparently, the people running the CB don’t believe that we can handle the truth that individual students vary in their academic abilities, and...

...Trump inherited a superficially stable world from Barack Obama that, in fact, was quite volatile. There had been no tense standoffs with North Korea, but also apparent intercontinental ballistic missiles with possible nuclear warheads now pointed at the United States. Obama more or less punted on North Korea, by declaring it a problem — and hoping that Pyongyang’s missile and nuclear testing did not get too out of hand before 2017. Then there was the “Iran deal.” It was an appeasing agreement that almost surely guaranteed that Iran would soon have nuclear weapons, along with a revived economy liberated from...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Apology accepted, you giant a**hole! – Desperate times call for desperate measures, as they say, and no Democrat candidates are more desperate these days than Eric “Otter” Swalwell and Irish Bob “Beto” O’Rourke. This week, both campaigns decided it would be best for their failing candidates to apologize for being exactly who they are. So, Swalwell went out on Monday and, in on of the most stilted, palpably insincere moments of 2019, made a video in which he apologized to a woman for being a white man, saying “I may be another...

Oh, they’re out there all right. Raj and I saw one with our own eyes at dusk one summer day over 40 years ago. And no, there were no chemicals involved. “Our sovereignty is being violated by vehicles of unknown origin.” – Christopher Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence during the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations The U.S. military has seen them.    The strange objects, one of them like a spinning top moving against the wind, appeared almost daily from the summer of 2014 to March 2015, high in the skies over the East Coast....

YouTuber PowerModz shows just how scary a runaway machine gun can actually be. This Thompson submachine gun takes off expectantly for this shooter. A runaway machine gun can ruin your day or others quickly. While firing short bursts the machine gun just kept on going without putting a finger on the trigger. Though text book states – Uncontrolled fire (the weapon continues to fire after the trigger is released) is usually caused by the firer not pulling and holding the trigger all the way to the rear. This results in the sear not clearing the sear notch, which causes wear...

One of the most popular and controversial evangelists in the United States is trying to help President Trump. Franklin Graham, along with more than 250 Christian leaders are asking for June 2nd, 2019 to serve as a special day of prayer for Trump. He made the announcement on Facebook, writing, “President Trump’s enemies continue to try everything to destroy him, his family, and the presidency.” Adding, “In the history of our country, no president has been attacked as he has. I believe the only hope for him, and this nation, is God.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told a Paducah Chamber of Commerce luncheon in Kentucky Tuesday that he would confirm a Trump Supreme Court nominee if a seat on the bench opened up next year during the presidential election. The galling hypocrisy of the very man who once reinvented the Constitution to prevent President Obama’s nominee Merrick Garland from ascending to the Supreme Court, would be even more enraging if it weren’t so utterly predictable. It was, of course, just over three years ago, in March 2016 that Obama nominated Garland to replace Antonin Scalia following his death. The Republican-controlled Senate,...

With its launching of Roo, Planned Parenthood “is harnessing the power of the digital world to purposely circumvent parents and steer children towards deceptive and harmful practices.” Planned Parenthood’s perversions and new tactics to target children seem to never end. I’m certain that the new laws in Alabama have enraged the abortion giant. So, the powers that be decided to target young children with smutty, inappropriate sexual advice, using an AI phone app called “Roo.” What does Roo talk about? Roo will discuss anything about sex with your children. Children are told by the chatbot that sexual activity is perfectly...

Abortion is front and center of most political debates currently. The recent wave of pro-Life legislation in Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, and Mississippi have good intentions from good people, but the approach is fundamentally flawed. They are trying to legislate something which essentially does not belong to that domain. The abortion issue is fundamentally not political, and Conservatives should not follow the examples of the totalitarian left who try to legislate toward the erosion of Capitalism on their path to Socialism. These recent pro-Life laws take aim only at the Supreme Court. They are states’ answers to Roe v....

Today’s Campaign Update, Evening Edition (Because The Campaign Never Ends) These people will never learn. – In the last 48 hours, the President of the United States has accomplished the following: - Got our fake news media to endlessly communicate the message that the guy leading the polls to be the Democrat nominee in 2020 just might be a “low IQ individual”; and - Convinced Deep State skunk and current National Teenage Drama Queen James Comey to discuss the possibility that he might have committed outright treason in an op/ed published in the Washington Post. That is some world-class political...

The left, which has been so eager to topple statues of Confederate generals, slave-owning founding fathers such as Thomas Jefferson, even Kate Smith who sang objectionable racist songs early in her career, now has a Martin Luther King, Jr. problem.

Hollywood hates Trump, Republicans even more than we thought, according to Vanity Fair's insider account. If you think the news media’s Trump Derangement Syndrome is out of control, look at what’s happening in Hollywood. Rob Reiner ✔ @robreiner There is no question. Donald Trump has committed, and continues to commit, more impeachable offenses than any President in US history. Whatever you want to call the process going forward, witnesses need to testify on TV so America can see the depth of this man’s criminally. NOW! It’s even worse than that, according to Vanity Fair. The far-left magazine serves up a...

In the search for the answer as to how the whole Mueller collusion probe and spying on Team Trump originated, one does not have to look far. One need only to revisit the interview deep state conspirator and perjurer James Clapper gave with CNN’s Anderson Cooper. He points his finger directly at Barack Hussein Obama as leader of the coup against Donald Trump: Former Obama administration director of national intelligence James Clapper admitted that former president Barack Obama gave the order to Peter Strzok to kick off his Operation Crossfire Hurricane targeting of President Donald Trump. Obama — who also...

The Trump Administration’s plan to move two sections of the Department of Agriculture out of DC met with strenuous objections from the American Federation of Government Employees. Union spokesman Peter Winch complained that “they’ve already reduced full-time employees from the peak of 300 under the Obama Administration to 209. Forcing these lucky survivors to move to offices closer to the agricultural communities they serve adds insult to injury.” “In this day of rapid electronic communication there’s no need for government employees to be located near the people they’re regulating,” Winch said. “Directives can be sent from Washington to any spot...

VIDEO We need to have a discussion about whether the world owes PewDiePie reparations due to the obvious damage done to his personality in his early days on YouTube when his initial low subscriber count resulted in his low self-esteem. This is an injustice which must be addressed because we are all collectively at fault for not instantly recognizing his talent hidden beneath his early nerdiness.
