    President Donald Trump’s popularity with the general public has been wobbly, but his standing with business continues to be strong. Small business owners in particular remain high on the president’s pro-business agenda of lower taxes and deregulation, according to a survey released Tuesday by Wilmington Trust. The survey of more than 1,000 privately held businesses taken between May 24-June 14 found that 59% of respondents “strongly or somewhat” approve of the way the Trump administration has handled business-related issues. Also, 53% said the administration’s policies have had a positive impact on their businesses, while 46% say their confidence has increased...

    Today’s Campaign Update, PART II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) So, the plan to boost Fauxcahontas continues today, with both the New York Times and Washington Post dutifully claiming that she “won” the first debate Wednesday night. Well, there’s no surprise there, right? Right. Think about it: How could she have possibly not have been at least one of the “winners” on that stage? The DNC/NBC had ensured she would be the only candidate on-stage polling above 3% support. They had also rigged the process to ensure that she would be placed dead-center among the field of 10 contenders, a...
  • Trump Tweets That Violate Twitter's Rules Will Now Get A Warning Label

    Buzz Feed News ^ | June 27, 2019 | Ryan Mac
    Twitter will add warning labels to tweets from world leaders that break its rules following years of public criticism and uncertainty around contentious posts from Donald Trump and other politicians. On Thursday, the San Francisco-based company introduced a new policy for tweets from well known government officials that violate its policies on abuse, harassment, and violent threats. Instead of removing the violative posts, it will put them behind a warning notice. That notice will explain that a tweet was found to be in violation of Twitter’s policies, but has been allowed to remain on the platform because the company believes...

    We are familiar with the pattern. Leak details about fake documents like the Steele dossier to the media, then use the media reports as a second source “corroborating” the unverified report when using it to justify your illegal actions. More evidence of the deceitful and arguably illegal actions by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller has popped up, this time regarding Paul Manafort’s “black cash ledger” allegedly documenting criminal financial moves on his part and it parallels the criminality of the use of the Steele Dossier by the FBI to lie to the FISA court to authorize the surveillance of Team...

    Breitbart - Politics ^ | 6-26-2019 | Hannah Bleau
    President Trump struck down the possibility of former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley replacing Vice President Mike Pence as his running mate in 2020 during an interview with Fox Business Network Wednesday. Trump was asked about a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, which suggested the political swap. Trump affirmed his appreciation for Haley, describing her as a “friend” and noting her involvement in his campaign, but dismissed the possibility of her future position as his vice president. “I love Nikki. She’s endorsed me. She’s my friend. She’s a part of my campaign,” Trump said. “But Mike has been a great vice...

    VIDEO The most heated part of the first Democrat presidential candidate debate was not what happened on the stage. It was what happened afterwards during an MSNBC panel discussion about the debate when Donny Deutsch gave some very unwanted opinions as to the unelectability of the candidates. Lawrence O'Donnell could not allow this serious divergence from the liberal GroupThink go unchallenged and what resulted was a heated brawl between Donnie and O'Donnell. Will there be a Round Two of this brawl after the second Democrat debate or will MSNBC be unable to tolerate anything that cannot be absorbed by the...

    Measuring an unseen, naturally exhaled substance against an ambiguous standard set by dozens of backbiting administrators is the progressives' way of implementing the world's most expensive, expansive snipe hunt. This sport has no rules, is spreading National media has been quick to cover Oregon Governor Kate Brown’s militaristic response to republican legislators who have cut senate sessions and left town. In an effort to save Oregon agriculture, transportation and natural resource industries from bearing the burden of a boundless cap and trade bill (Oregon HB 2020), 11 republican senators ditched the state capital to prevent a quorum in the chamber....

    Black Lives never Mattered to either Obama, Biden, Hillary. Neither did economic theory which got in the way of their social justice. What really matters to these three underachievers is to take the credit for the high achievements of others CNN fact-checked Donald Trump’s coming out party in Orlando, citing ten “misstatements” the president supposedly made. Curiously, of the ten alleged misstatements, ten may have been correctly stated by the president. It appears CNN is hearing voices in its talking heads, because they failed to cite a single misstatement.

To find out what it means today we need to look at where it came from, and why.It is a flag, as well as a slogan, and I hope to help you understand it better.Rattlesnakes, in this case, the eastern diamondback and the timber rattlesnake, were both abundant...

    When you find a relic, will it go on your wall or is it a shooter? In this case a Colt Lighting rifle was raised from the dead. Andre Will shared a video with us on this rare collection that he purchased and restored. The rifle was in fairly bad condition, covered by some sort of chemicals which caused deep rust and cracks, it was badly restored by the previous owner. The Colt Lighting rifle is a slide pump-action rifle manufactured from 1884 to 1904 and was originally chambered in .44-40 caliber. The rifle profile resembles the pump-action rimfire rifles...

    Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) I did not watch last night’s Democrat debate, aka, Fauxcahontas Fest. Life is just too damn short to put myself through that nonsense. Plus, my blood pressure’s been a little elevated lately, and there’s no use monkeying around with that, right? Right. But we can still draw plenty of conclusions from the festivities just from perusing the news coverage of the event this morning. Let’s go through some of them now: Beto O’Rourke made an ass of himself, and we have photographic proof. – Irish Bob broke out in Spanish in a...

    I did not watch any part of the Democratic debate last night although I see that many of you did. I gather from the outtakes this morning that there wasn’t much there there. Spartacus was upset that Beto Boy began speaking in tongues before he thought to do so. De Blasio and Warren were the first to step up and lie about being willing to give up their generous healthcare insurance plans in exchange for enhanced Obamacare plan, and most of them support the decriminalization of “border crossing” i.e. sneaking into the country illegally. As we know, there’s no such...

    In 2010, Andre Haymond was convicted of possessing child pornography and sentenced to 38 months in prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release. He was also required to register as a sex offender. In 2015, a federal district court sent Haymond back to prison for five more years because he had violated the terms of his supervised release. Haymond argued that the federal law requiring him to return to prison violated his constitutional right to have his sentence determined by a jury, rather than a judge, beyond a reasonable doubt. Today a divided Supreme Court agreed. Today’s decision dealt...

    The news of the day concerns Iran, a country that shot down a hundred-million-dollar American drone in international airspace… and the question of how the United States should respond to such an act of war. This occurred a week after the same country attacked foreign-flagged oil tankers sailing in international waters. And a week before that? And the week before that? Well, this country – Iran, as ruled by the mullahs who have run it since 1979 – has been spreading terrorism all over the world, developing client states around the middle east, and declaring itself to be at war...
