    CEO Magazine ^ | June 17, 2019 | Ian Horswill
    If US President Donald Trump has a big ego, just wait until he talks about having a block of land named after him – Trump Heights. He has hotels, apartment blocks and golf courses named after him and now Trump Heights, Ramat Trump in Hebrew, is the name of a yet-to-be developed Jewish community on the Golan Heights. Trump Heights was unveiled at a naming ceremony by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday (local time). Unveiling a large sign bearing the community’s name in Hebrew and English, Netanyahu told the gathered dignitaries “it is a milestone in the history...

    This is truly an amazing end times story we bring you today, one that sounds like it’s fresh off the pages of end times novels like ‘Left Behind‘, but this is no fiction, no sir. This is stunning end times Bible prophecy coming true before our very eyes. What is the Internet but the One World System that connects all people everywhere around the planet. What is social media but a digital marketplace where billions and billions communicate with each other. Now today we bring you the story of Facebook’s new cryptocurrency named ‘Libra’ which is set to launch globally...

    Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 16 June 2019 | John Semmens
    California State Senator Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) has introduced legislation (SB 310) that would put convicted felons on juries. Current law bars ex-cons from serving on juries—a practice that Skinner calls “profoundly undemocratic.” “I am ashamed that it has taken so long for my Party to realize that routinely excluding victims of the justice system from playing a role in the judicial process is wrong,” the Senator asserted. “Who among us is better suited to assess whether others should be subjected to the brutality of our prison system than individuals who have had to endure it themselves?” “The criminal element is...

    Having a little fun with these folks. When I replied that I would support 'someone else' the next response from them was who? Waited a couple of days before responding in the middle of the nite with Andrew Yang. Waiting for the why(?) response. I could say I don't like old white guys and all the others talk as if slavery ended yesterday. Since Yang is going nowhere it's my small contribution to their confusion. Any other ideas?
  • Why Joe Biden Won’t be the Nominee

    DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon
    Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) People keep telling me that I’m really going out on a limb with my all-but-guarantee that Joe Biden will not be the Democrat nominee in 2020. The truth is that that is the safest prediction I’ve made about this race. The history of presidential politics is littered with the rotting carcasses of early favorites in contested presidential nominating battles who ended up being left behind when the actual convention rolled around. Remember 1972 Democrat nominee Edmund Muskie? Yeah, neither do I. Well, I sort of remember Edmund Muskie, who was the party...

  • There Is No Such Thing as Brainwashing

    NRO ^ | June 14, 2019 | Kevin Williamson
    media outlets ranging from Vice to the Daily Beast to, just today, the New York Times have employed the term “brainwashing,” almost entirely uncritically. The problem with that, which apparently has occurred to none of these outlets whose writers from time to time advertise their reverence for “science,” is that there is no such thing as brainwashing. It is a concept with no scientific basis, generally regarded as pseudoscience. It is mainly a literary device, one popularized by The Manchurian Candidate. “Brainwashing” is right up there with “recovered memories,” “multiple-personality disorder,” homeopathy, chiropractic, reiki, the anti-vaccine movement, and the terror...

    “The Father’s Day--and the Son’s, and the Holy Spirit’s” (Acts 2:14a, 22-36) Today is Father’s Day. No, wait, let me correct that. Today is “The Father’s Day--and the Son’s, and the Holy Spirit’s.” What do I mean by that? Let me explain. Today is the third Sunday in June, which in our country is Father’s Day. And that’s a good thing. It’s good for us to honor our fathers and our mothers. In fact, God put that right into the Ten Commandments. So on this day we honor our fathers for the gifts that they are, given to us by...

    The (Formerly) Anonymous Anthropologist ^ | Unknown | Some 'rat trash
    We’re about to see a Presidential Cabinet where every single member will be a racist, sexist, climate-change denying, adulterous, felonious, lying old white man. Every decision they make will be based on a deadly combination of fear, ignorance, and arrogance. We will be one rash decision away from a nuclear holocaust. All of the platitudes about “giving him a chance” and “working together” ignore the hostile reception that met our last President and the past eight years of obstructionism. All of the advice about organizing for the next election ignores the people who will have their marriages invalidated, who will...

    Stunned by polls showing the doltish Joe Biden in the lead for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders (S-Vt) gave socialism the "hard sell" and predicted that voters would be "delighted to pay higher taxes" if his policies are implemented. The "delight" is expected to flow from what Sanders called an "economic bill of rights. Under this plan, the government will provide everything everyone needs for free. All that anyone has to do in exchange is turn over all his excess wealth to the government." "The hassle of having to live by a household budget will be abolished,"...
  • Democrats Ask Millionaire Actor To Explain Why He Needs Slave Reparations

    Chicks on the Right ^ | 6/15/19 | Ashley (KImber)
    I’ve written at length about why I think reparations are absolutely assinine. Who gets them? Who pays for them? How do we prove the “right” people are receiving them? Why are others being punished for something they had no part in? So many questions with no right answer. Reparations simply don’t make sense. But Democrats don’t really care about what makes sense. They care about what creates and reinforces victimhood status… So they’re asking Danny Glover, a MILLIONARE actor, to come speak on behalf of reparations for African Americans. You heard that right. A man whose “reported net worth is...

    Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Well, the Democrat debate lineups are set for next week, and aren’t we all thrilled? Ok, no. But I’ll tell you who is thrilled to death, and that is Fauxcahontas, the fake Indian senator from Massachusetts who got her a seat at the kiddie table. This is how we know that she has now replaced Kamala Harris as the favored child of the Obama minions who are running the DNC into bankruptcy. We’ll explain, but first, take a look at how the “random drawing” for next week’s two debate nights turned out:...

    President Trump's open-minded response to a hypothetical question posed by ABC's George Stephanopoulos unleashed a fire-storm of pious denunciations from Democrats and the media. Stephanopoulos asked Trump whether he would listen to any "dirt" on a political opponent if it were offered by a foreign government. Trump said "yes. Suppose, for example, that Norway wanted to tell me something unsettling about a person in our government or running for office. I think I'd listen and maybe pass on this information to the FBI if I thought it warranted their attention." Loser of the 2016 presidential election Hillary Clinton pounced on...

    Family Research Council ^ | June 14, 2019 | Tony Perkins and FRC Senior Writers
    People come to Pinterest for all kinds of things. But apparently, there's one thing users won't find on the app -- and that's tolerance. It was supposed to be a harmless site, a place for swapping recipes and planning kitchen remodels. Now we know: even the most innocuous platforms aren't immune from Big Tech's censorship. And if that's the case, conservatives are in trouble. Because the problem just got a whole lot worse than we thought. Eric Cochran was an employee of Pinterest, a software engineer. Like a lot of conservatives in the online world, he kept his views to...

    VIDEO Live Stream of the Screech To Impeach protest in Miami, Florida at 1:00 PM in Miami, Florida on June 15, 2019. The Fort Lauderdale Screech to Impeach protest in downtown Fort Lauderdale on June 14 turned out to be pretty much a dud with no more than a dozen protestors showing up. All they did was screech at cars driving by. Hopefully the Miami Screech To Impeach protest will prove more interesting. It is supposed to last 4 hours but don't be surprised if it fizzles out long before then.

    The Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | June 14 2019 | Joseph N. DiStefano
    Lockheed Martin chief executive Marillyn Hewson said Friday that she’s thinking about ways to keep her company’s Sikorsky helicopter factory in Coatesville, Chester County, open because President Donald Trump asked her to. “@POTUS called me today to discuss the pending closure of our Coatesville PA operation. We had an open and constructive conversation and I agreed to explore additional options for keeping the facility open,” Hewson said in a social-media post. Lockheed Martin spokeswoman Callie D. Ferrari confirmed her boss’s statement and said the company has nothing to add. The company had told 465 workers it plans to close the...

    Powerline ^ | 06/14/19
    Presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway stands accused of violating the Hatch Act. The alleged violations consist mostly of comments Conway made on various news shows disparaging certain Democratic candidates such as Joe Biden, Cory Booker, and Elizabeth Warren. I very much doubt that the Hatch Act was intended to bar the president’s political advisers from criticizing potential opponents. The Office of Special Counsel (not to be confused with Robert Mueller’s former shop) is the outfit that found Conway guilty of Hatch Act violations and said she should be removed from her job. It describes the purposes of the Act as “to...
