  • Amash Challenger & Never Trumper hits Trump Lower

    Big League Politics ^ | Shane Trejo
    Michigan state representative Jim Lower is advertising himself as a pro-Trump conservative, but he is closely tied to former Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley, who led the ‘Never Trump’ movement in Michigan with Reps. Justin Amash and Fred Upton heading into the 2016 election. Lower even boasted that he would model himself after Justin Amash when he first won elected office, claiming that following in Amash’s lead would “give the citizens in the county some input and see each and every vote.” Lower claims “he grew “disenchanted” with Amash after he came out against Trump after repeatedly voting for Amash and...

    TRENTON, N.J. – Anyone frustrated with Phil Murphy’s rocky, far-left first term in office – and their fellow residents ambivalence to it – won’t be comforted by the results of a new Fairleigh Dickinson Poll. According to the pollsters, one-third (1/3) of adults polled couldn’t identify Phil Murphy as governor without prompting.

    Those who accept Democrats’ claim that they actually care about illegal immigrants are willfully blind to history.  Just ask the blue collar workers, once the backbone of the Democrat Party, whose jobs were sold to foreign countries.   Or, if you prefer, ask those living in our urban ghettos that have been under Democrat mayors and city councils for the past half century.  
  • Earth Is Moving Toward Same Meteor Swarm Scientists Believe Caused The Tunguska Explosion Of 1908

    Over the next several weeks, our planet will have a close encounter with the Taurid meteor swarm. It will be the closest that we have been to the center of the meteor swarm since 1975, and we won’t have an encounter this close again until 2032. So for astronomers, this is a really big deal. And hopefully there will be no danger to Earth during this pass, but some scientists are absolutely convinced that the Tunguska explosion of 1908 which flattened 80 million trees in Russia was caused by an object from the Taurid meteor swarm. As you will see...

    Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, chair of the House Financial Services Committee, on Tuesday requested that Facebook pause its development of Libra, an upcoming cryptocurrency that the company plans to release in 2020. “Given the company’s troubled past, I am requesting that Facebook agree to a moratorium on any movement forward on developing a cryptocurrency until Congress and regulators have the opportunity to examine these issues and take action,” Waters said in a statement on Tuesday. Facebook and a consortium of partners on Tuesday unveiled Libra, its much-awaited blockchain project that the company has been working on over the past year....
  • Will Trump solidify more Christian voters in 2020? This evangelical leader thinks so

    Fox News ^ | June 18, 2019 | Caleb Parke
    President Trump was elected in large part by evangelical Christians and polling shows he is doing even better among faith-based voters, which conservative religious leaders hope to translate into votes. Born-again or evangelical Christians made up nearly one-fourth of the 2016 electorate, 80 percent of whom cast their vote for Trump, according to exit polling. A Public Opinion Strategies poll now says that number is at an 83 percent approval rating. Ralph Reed, the founder and chairman of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, told Laura Ingraham the evangelicals plan to mobilize even more for Trump in 2020. "Trump got the...

    For years, investors have been nervous about Aramco’s role as a funding pool for various socio-economic projects in Saudi Arabia, the existential legal threat it faces from the U.S.’s ‘No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act’, and the ongoing questions over its future tax status. It was MBS who - facing sizeable Saudi budget deficits every year until 2023 at the earliest - first mooted the idea in 2016 that the floating of at least 5% of the Kingdom’s flagship hydrocarbons giant would give the whole company a valuation of US$2 trillion. Since then, he has been looking for a...

    It’s striking how quickly the culture can change. Just a short time ago, surely few would’ve believed that a common viewpoint — that it would be unfair to let guys take away athletic victories from girls by allowing them to compete in women’s sports — would be labeled the result of an irrational fear. Yet here we are: What was considered common sense and common goodness is now a symptom of mental illness. “Transphobia” has gotten so much traction, in fact, that Brazil just criminalized it — it’s punishable by a half decade in prison. See my coverage of that...

    Potential candidates for the democrat Presidential nomination  been looking a way to separate themselves from the pack. Kamala Harris promises to convict Donald Trump. Of something. Anything. Bernie Sanders promises to turn the country straight into Stalinesque Communism. Pete Buttigieg hopes to get elected via virtue signalling. Corey "Spartacus" Booker will promise anything you want. None of them compares to Joe Biden. Biden, as did Obama, promises to stop climate change. Unlike hillary did, he promises to kill jobs slowly. Biden has promised that cancer would be cured if he was elected. Former Vice President Joe Biden made a bold promise on Tuesday...

    June 18 is the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo in 1815, in which British forces under the Duke of Wellington and the Prussians under Field Marshal Blücher decisively defeated the French under Napoleon to end the "Hundred Days Campaign." After the allies took Paris in March 1814, Napoleon was initially exiled to Elba. A year later, however, he returned to France amid great acclaim, re-entered Paris, declared himself emperor again, and retook command of the French armies to renew the struggle. Four days after the debacle at Waterloo - which Wellington described as "the nearest-run thing you ever saw...

    VIDEO Poppy Harlow disgraced the profession of journalism by advocating strongly in favor of censorship on YouTube. Of course, she wants a ban on Stephen Crowder's channel and other channels that just so happen to be conservative leaning. You never hear her call for a ban on any leftwing videos, no matter how offensive they might be.
  • Florida Stiffens Election Security In Run-Up To 2020

    Rod Thomson As President Trump kicks off his reelection campaign tonight in Orlando with somewhere between 70,000 and 100,000 people, Gov. Ron DeSantis is announcing that Florida is spending more money on securing its voting systems across 67 counties. As the largest swing state, and one which twice now decided the presidency in very close elections with questionable voting systems — including those ripe for tampering in places like Broward and Palm Beach counties — DeSantis is moving $2.3 million toward election security. The money comes from a large federal grant of $19 million that was provided last year to...

    The principal newspaper in Orlando, Fla., where the president is set to kick off his reelection bid Tuesday, has already announced its 2020 White House endorsement: anyone but Donald Trump. “We’re here to announce our endorsement for president in 2020, or, at least, who we’re not endorsing: Donald Trump,” the editorial board of the Orlando Sentinel announced Tuesday, hours before Trump is set to appear in the city’s Amway Center to launch his campaign for a second term. “Some readers will wonder how we could possibly eliminate a candidate so far before an election, and before knowing the identity of...

    The 2020 Democratic field for president might as well make ‘laws are only for the common folk’ their campaign slogan. Julian Castro, questioned by a woman who said an illegal immigrant stole her Social Security Number, had the crime dismissed out of hand by the White House hopeful. “He was caught and released on his on recognizance, and never to be heard from again,” she explained during a Fox News town hall Thursday night. “Would you be willing to penalize offenders taking advantage of Americans by having them not released if they’re known to be illegal?” the woman asked. Castro’s...

    If you're tight on budget but still want to get a scope for under $100. The good news is that there are plenty of great options available for under $100. For under $100 is it worth looking for one? Its a good thing that the overall quality of the lens and magnification factors is about the same as those for higher end scopes. Usually higher-end scopes come with extra features, settings and customization options to justify their higher cost point. A lower end rifle scope quality of the lens and magnification factors will likely be about the same as the...

    It wasn’t twenty years ago today, as the Beatles once sang – only four, to be exact (though at times, it feels like two decades). And while Donald Trump isn’t Sgt. Pepper, he has succeeded in making American march to a different beat. It was four years ago on this date that Trump did the improbable – he descended down a Trump Tower escalator and leapt into a busy Republican primary field. Some of us who follow these things for a living refused to take him seriously at the time. That includes yours truly. I thought Trump was trying to...
