Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Oh, my, what an embarrassment Saturday was for our Democrat friends. – Ok, they’re not really our “friends” – they’re actually enemies of the people who want to put anyone who disagrees with them on any issue from killing babies to throwing away the nation’s treasure on eliminating cow farts and building rail lines that can never be built in prison. Thus, watching them humiliate themselves in public has become a major new national pastime, a source of great joy to millions of normal Americans. Saturday was just filled with banner episodes...

What a week. I think it’s time for a virtual trip to the beach.It might rain, which affords it’s own dreary charms.But if the sun rises over Lake St. Clair in southeast Michigan,as well as over Lake Huron in Tawas in northeast Michigan,it might just be a lovely day to take a partial Great Lakes Circle Tour around the Mitten state. As it’s still early in the season, and the water is still very chilly the Lake Michigan beaches in the north are unlikely to be crowded. Sleeping Bear National LakeshoreThat may be the case with those in the middle...

FORT SILL, Okla.—Millennial recruits and their helicopter parents are demanding answers after the Army’s “Call for Fyre Festival” failed to deliver on its promises of extravagant music performances, celebrity appearances, and unrestricted free-fire zones. The festival began as a recruiting gimmick to attract Millennials, but ballooned into a social-media phenomenon, enticing the nation’s youth to sign away years of their lives they would otherwise have been spent aimlessly racking up student debt.

MOSCOW – Protesters have torn down a towering bust of Soviet military hero Marshal Georgy Zhukov in Ukraine's second-largest city. Destruction of the monument in Kharkiv on Sunday came amid protests by an array of far-right and nationalist groups against an organizing session for a new political party. The party is led by the mayors of Kharkiv and Odesa, both of whom were members of the party of Viktor Yanukovych, the pro-Russia president ousted amid bloody protests in 2014. The protesters said the bust violated Ukraine's law banning Communist symbols. A crowd of hundreds cheered as protesters tugged on a...

Democrats want to ensure that their candidate will win the national popular vote, instead of the Electoral College vote. But Trump would take both because Conservatives in blue states would vote.

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...
