Miley Cyrus gave a dire warning to fans on Friday when she closed out a concert with an expletive-laden rant to fans about the importance of taking action against climate change. iHeart Radio reports that as the singer finished her performance at the 2019 Tinderbox Festival in Odense, Denmark, she launched into a rant criticizing the U.S. for not doing enough to protect LGBT people. After dismissing how she “might offend some people by calling my country ------ty,” she began calling for her audience to get politically active. “The youth, this generation, we are the last ----ing hope on this...

For two nights in June, we got our first glimpse of 20 Democratic candidates who are vowing to make Donald Trump a one-term president. There wasn’t much daylight between any of them on the issues. They promised everything from free health care for illegal aliens to "decriminalizing" illegal border crossings altogether. The combination of those two policies alone would upend America. They also promised executive orders that would give handouts to some and impose mandates on others. Away from the debate stage, there are lavishly-funded Leftist movements that are pushing specific issues around the country. One is dedicated to creating...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Monday hit President Donald Trump over his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Sunday, calling it "one of the worst few days in American foreign policy." Trump's visit with Kim was a moment that marked the first time a sitting US president has set foot in North Korea but it produced only an agreement between the two nations to restart talks about North Korea's nuclear ambitions. Schumer took issue with how little Trump received for a visit that he viewed as a concession. "He admires these strongmen," Schumer told CNN's Anderson...

Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper’s senior team urged him last month to withdraw from the presidential race gracefully and run for Colorado’s Senate seat or pursue other opportunities, a source familiar with the situation told POLITICO. The source said that the campaign only has about 13,000 donors, making it almost impossible to qualify for the next round of presidential debates in the fall. The campaign also only raised just over $1 million in the second quarter — about what he raised in the first 48 hours of his candidacy — and will likely run out of money completely in about...

The Miami Beach problem has nothing whatever to do with sea level rise. It is a civil engineering problem of almost unimaginable magnitude Contrary to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) statement that it is ‘very likely’ sea level rise is accelerating, the highest quality coastal tide gauges from around the world show no evidence of acceleration since the 1920s. Local and regional sea levels continue to exhibit typical natural variability, unrelated to changes in the global average sea level say a number of recent reports. A new policy brief from The Heartland Institute shows there is no...

Claiming that "the American people are fed up with President Trump's obsession with enforcing the laws against illegal immigration," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) suggested that "it's time that we let an impartial party determine who is allowed into our country." "The more I think about our immigration laws the more I wonder what is the purpose?" she said. "What is the point? The laws on the books discriminate against every person in the world except American citizens. This is fundamentally unjust. Who are we to decide where anyone chooses to live? The argument that we can't afford to take...

Socialist Democrats are always speaking, in glowing Robin Hood-like terms In the ever-changing U.S. political landscape, there has emerged a strong offshoot on the left calling themselves Democratic Socialists. To be clear, if implemented, the plans and policies of this movement will mark the end of not just The United States as a Constitutional Republic but of human decency. So if that statement seems a bit of an exaggeration consider that according to the left infants that can live outside the womb can now be legally murdered and in some cases have their tiny organs harvested for sale. It sounds...

AOC hit the ground screaming when she arrived at the El Paso Station Justice Democrats NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), and her activist sistahs, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan (Marry-your-Brother) Omar and Michigan Rep. expletive-hurling Rashida Tlaib have moved into their own Hoax Huckster Fabrication Factory. The Hoax Hucksters are now sending out hype and lies—coming straight out of the toilet. All three are well-tooled in the dirty art of socialist activism, but AOC, putting into use her casting call background, is the leader of the screaming jackal pack.

Last week, James Fields got life in prison for the 2017 murder of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville. As far as I'm concerned, he got off light. Considering he committed his crime in a death-penalty state, he should consider himself lucky that he gets to live out the rest of his life on the taxpayer's dime. I would've sentenced him to the needle, but I guess that's because I'm a fascist. I don't know a lot about Heyer's political views, but I know she didn't deserve to be hurt or killed for them. Most Americans would agree, or at least I...

VIDEO In a stunning admission on his June 30 show, CNN host Fareed Zakaria admitted that President Donald Trump is absolutely right about the abuse of the asylum system. Of course, Zakaria's motivation for this admission is his recognition that the Democrats, especially their candidates for president in 2020, are committing political suicide by basically calling for Open Borders.

Which is Better when you're on a walkabout in Bear country? is it better to have both? Not one or the other. One thing about bears out in the woods they can be quite stealthy, not your typical Yogi bear hanging out at the dumpster. If you're in their neck of the hood (bear country) while on a hunt, hike or fishing they see you. You may never even see them. Bears may follow at a distance or run from you. Then there are the bears that size you up for their next meal. So yes, arming yourself with shotguns...

I don’t have time to report on AOC’s latest border histrionics so I leave that responsibility in your capable hands. I would just like to suggest she get her incredibly smart ass self back to Washington where Congress could be working on fixing our “refuge” status designation and funding border security in order to stem the flood of immigrants on the southern border. I don’t think that responsibility falls within the purview of  border patrol agents. I’m just going to remind you that you only have 2 days to stock up on sparklers for your 4th of July celebration.You’ll want...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Alexandria Ocasio Cortez went to Clint, Texas yesterday to create chaos.: She wasn’t there to “tour” a detention facility for illegal aliens who violate U.S. law by entering the country and make false claims of “asylum,” she was there to create chaos, create a story that would get her media attention and create outrage among her social justice warrior support base. And that’s what she did. To fully grasp what AOC did and why, you have to go back to the fact that she is a performance artist, not a policy maker....

'his condition is that of a disabled person" Lawyer Jean Paillot Representing Vincent Lambert's Parents Speaks July 1, 2019 The doctor treating quadriplegic patient Vincent Lambert, 42, at the University Hospital in Reims, France is taking food and water away from him today, beginning the process of Lambert's death. The parents of mentally disabled patient Vincent Lambert, injured in a 2008 motorcycle accident, won a reprieve on May 20th hours after food and water was withdrawn. That's when the Court of Appeal of Paris ruled to stop the killing until a UN panel could review Lambert's case. But late last...

Four days after their prime-time showdown, the tit-for-tat between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden is still going strong. Some Harris allies said Monday they saw sexism and desperation in the backlash from the former vice president's camp. They were outraged after an ally of Biden suggested she had allowed her ambition to get the best of her when she challenged the former vice president’s long opposition to busing for school desegregation. And at least one black leader aligned with a rival campaign rose to Harris’ defense, too. “Why couldn’t she be ambitious? She’s running for president of the United States,”...

Video evidence shows that recycling hurts the environment, and landfills help the environment Below are two videos.The first video shows that much of the recycled garbage from rich countries (the U.K. in this case) gets sent to poor countries, where it just sits there on the ground without any covering or protection, getting blown around, and often ending up in rivers and ultimately the ocean.The second video shows a landfill in a rich country (New York in this case). The landfill is well sealed and covered, and is now a park with grass, trees, plants, and animals.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRQLilXLAIUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zcMfDbxmgURecycling is a scam.

More on my paid blog. But you must be invited. Not just anybody can access my paid blog. So no link here. Sorry. Seriously though, walking barefoot on the beach does make me sleep much better and deeper. With vivid dreams. Or maybe it's the salt air. Maybe it has nothing to do with being barefoot. But it does feel good to be out on the beach with no shoes and spending the day sloshing around in the water and then reading books in a lawn chair. This is the way I would like to live more often. What was...

Can't believe these clowns. It's not very easy to follow their directions and cancel next year's subscription. Renewal should NEVER be automatic. When I 'followed' their directions to cancel I got no confirmation email. Very sleezy. Anyone else with this problem? The 'contact' button lead me to something else that was stupid. Thanks.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims Border Police agents are forcing migrants to drink out of toilets and live under other extreme conditions — while the officers sit back and laugh. “I see why CBP officers were being so physically &sexually threatening towards me,” the congresswoman tweeted Monday after leaving a US Customs and Border Protection facility in Texas. “Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets,” she said. “This was them on their GOOD behavior in front of members of Congress.” The New York lawmaker was visiting a number of...
