I received wonderful news Monday. Talkers magazine -- the Bible of America's radio industry -- named me to their Heavy Hundred list of the top 100 talk radio hosts in the United States. I made my debut at No. 62. And of course, No. 1 in Las Vegas. Think of the numbers involved. I Googled "radio stations." There are about 5,000 AM stations alone (which generally means "news and talk"). Assume the typical station has at least three hosts in its lineup. That's 15,000 radio hosts in America. I just made the top 100 out of 15,000 hosts in a...

In the main, the American media do not think highly of our current president. This matters. Whether they admit it or not, their personal views shape their reportage. They regard him as a pretender to the throne, an accidental occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who has done more to discredit his office than most any of his predecessors. In their eyes, he's a bombastic boor and a bumbler whose reckless disregard for the dignity of his office has cheapened the nation in the eyes of the world. Not everyone holds that opinion. A goodly number of his supporters probably don't...

“The Peace of Pentecost” (John 14:23-31) Jesus tells his disciples: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” How can you say that, Jesus? How can you tell your disciples to be at peace? You’ve just told them that you’re going away! And now they’re supposed to be OK with that? They’re just supposed to take it easy? Come on, Jesus, get real! And how about us? Yeah, we here today. How are we supposed to...

Former Republican Arkansas state Senator Linda Collins-Smith, who was found murdered in her home this week in Pocahontas, Arkansas, believed she was closing in on a child-trafficking ring working from within the Arkansas state government. A verified source close to Collins-Smith told CD Media that she was about to go public with incriminating information on sitting judges in Arkansas, who were involved in taking children from poor women via the Department of Human Services (child protective services) in Arkansas and selling them to wealthy individuals. The source also disclosed that Collins-Smith believed the perpetrators were using illegal aliens to facilitate...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Saturday hit parts of President Trump’s deal with Mexico on stopping migrant flows after he threatened to slap tariffs on the country -- saying that Trump was engaged in “threats and temper tantrums.” “President Trump undermined America’s preeminent leadership role in the world by recklessly threatening to impose tariffs on our close friend and neighbor to the south,” she said in a statement. “Threats and temper tantrums are no way to negotiate foreign policy,” she said Trump announced Friday that the U.S. and Mexico had reached a deal, after he had previously threatened to...

It used to be that Democratic politicians claimed to be personally pro-life, but politically pro-choice. This attempt to straddle the gap between respect for human life and the need to garner votes from those favoring easy access to abortion is no longer tolerated. Contender for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) demands that “as a party, we should be 100 percent pro-choice, and it should be non-negotiable.” Rival contender Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt) is campaigning to oust sitting Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski (Ill), contending that Lipinski’s non-conformity on the issue is “a disturbing moment in our history.”...

VIDEO The creator of the Dilbert cartoon strip, Scott Adams, who has an amazingly accurate track record for his predictions has predicted the demise of both Vox and the Daily Beast within a year. A big part of the reason is that both these outlets, especially Vox, have been at the forefront of promoting widespread censorship on YouTube and the rest of the social media.

(Note - I disagree somewhat with his analysis of American electoral politics; Hispanics are *not* going to start voting majority conservative. Why? Because identity politics - racial identity - is a more powerful psychological force for most people than anything else. And nonwhites vote majority left primarily for this reason. Nothing the right wing can do will change this dynamic.) On MARK MY WORDS I discuss how the American Right will win: 1. Abandon FAILED AND INCOMPLETE STRATEGIES: - Classical liberalism, libertarianism, tolerance, civic nationalism, full-franchise democracy 2. Analyze HOW THE CIVIL WAR WILL PLAY OUT...

States, Counties, and Cities all across American that are run by liberals are passing laws in open defiance of Federal Immigration laws by declaring themselves Sanctuaries...... It only stands to reason that a backlash is going to happen and it's not only started by growing rapidly. An increasing number of Counties and Cities around the country are passing laws to create 2nd Amendment Sanctuaries...where laws deemed Unconstitutional by the local sheriffs can be ignored and not enforced.. If you read this article, it was obviously written by a liberal anti-2nd Amendment person who can't help themselves, but using the terms...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Hey, remember when Joe Biden’s rationale for running was that he would be the moderate who would appeal to independent voters? – Yeah, that’s all gone now. I’ve told you all along that Joe Biden will not – cannot – be the 2020 nominee for the Democrat Party, and this was the week in which he sealed his own fate. Honestly, it was inevitable. This man is a dinosaur trying to compete in a modern age with which he is totally unfamiliar. He’s like Phil Hartman’s genius “Un-Frozen Caveman Lawyer”...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) This is how the #fakenews works, New York Times style. – President Trump won his standoff with Mexican President AMLO last night, securing an agreement in which the failed state off of the U.S. Southern border made a series of concessions designed to slow the free flow of illegal immigrants from various nations in Central and South America. But you would never know that from reading the piece the New York Times posted about the deal, unless you read all the way down to the 1,500 word story’s 9th paragraph, where the...

Do you know what we need around here? That’s right, a little…That’s right, somebody crazy enough to just say no.International Border AheadAs it happens, we elected such a guy.The result, after all the breast beating, kvetching, threatening and posturing about PDJT’s threatened Mexican tariffs, this:Terms of Agreement with Mexico Mexican national guard deployed Action to dismantle human smuggling and trafficking Asylum seekers returned to Mexico Mexico to offer asylum seekers jobs, health care, and education Further action if no results in 90 days Seriously folks, this isn’t rocket science. It’s more like raising a child. Children need to be taught...

When President Trump has a good week, he has a good week. And he has won a victory to help stop the flood of illegal immigrants, from and through Mexico, and into the United States.

The gun industry has become popular in the last few years – which is causing the United States to shuffle a lot of money in this field. So, the firearm industry in the U.S. fell around 6.1% in 2018 – practically being in decline. However, there is still a lot of money that comes and goes in this business. Revenue on the Defense Side Arms sales are continuously changing in the US – and along with that, so is the revenue that results from this business. In the National Shooting Sports Foundation, it was estimated that 13.1 million firearms were...

The Iranian regime's recent actions in sabotaging oil tankers off the shores of the UAE, the attack on Saudi oil facilities, and rocket launches aimed at the US embassy in Iraq are the desperate acts of a regime on its final legs. Stuck in a quagmire of internal crises coupled with international isolation, the regime is resorting to frantic actions that will only accelerate its downfall. The regime in Iran is spiraling downward in an all-out "collapse crisis", which is due to the three following elements: 1. Iranians are on the verge of an uprising Forty years of corruption and...

Miffed by the attention being paid to the heroes of the 1944 Allied sea-borne assault on Nazi-held France, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called the D-Day event "relatively insignificant in the broader context of World War II and its aftermath." "The puny efforts of the West pale in comparison with the absolutely essential role played by Russia in the conflict," Zakharova asserted. "First, let's not forget that there wouldn't have been a World War II if Russia had not joined with Germany to get the ball rolling. Their non-aggression pact was key to enabling Hitler to initiate hostilities." "Second,...

There are two ways to tell this story. One of them describes that classic flash of inventive insight. In 1948, Joseph Woodland, a graduate student at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia, was pondering a challenge that had been thrown down by a local retailer: Was there any way to speed up the process of checking out in his stores by automating the tedious process of recording the transaction? Woodland was a smart young man. He'd worked on the Manhattan Project during Word War II. As an undergraduate at Crest College he'd designed an improved system for playing elevator music. He...

President Trump was rightfully praised for his D-Day speech, but the press coverage was still "preset" to disallow him "full victory," according to Ben Shapiro. Shapiro, editor of the Daily Wire, claimed the mainstream media concentrated on "ancillary issues" instead of what was truly happening at the commemoration in Normandy, in an appearance Friday on "The Story." "I think he gave one of the great speeches of his presidency, and yet most of the media coverage surrounded ancillary issues that had pretty much nothing to do with what was happening on the ground," Shapiro said. The conservative commentator, however, noted...

The honesty was refreshing albeit highly disturbing: A Muslim Al Quds Day protester in Toronto on June 1 advocates that Canada should be ruled by Sharia law. And that would mean, of course, executing gays. Apparently, he didn’t get Trudeau’s “diversity is our strength” memo. This interview took place during Al Quds Day in Toronto, while is a yearly rally held around the world pushing the belief that Jerusalem belongs to Islam, not the Israelis. And with that belief comes people like our Muslim friend here advocating for replacing Canada’s legal system as well as violent antisemitism. He also confessed...
