On the 4th of July, Hugh Culverhouse, Jr. is calling for people to sing “God Bless America,” not whistle “Dixie” in a paid advertisement in the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. Culverhouse submitted the ad in an attack on Alabama’s recent abortion ban. “In enacting this law, Alabama is treating women as possessions rather than equal citizens with the inalienable right to control their bodies,” he wrote. In the letter, Culverhouse calls for, “Americans to fight back and join me in opposing this unconstitutional and immoral law by all means possible.” “Parents should not send their children to any school,...

The well-rehearsed attack on Joe Biden that destroyed his candidacy during the clown-car Democratic presidential debates by Sen. Kamala Harris should have come as no surprise to those who have watched her rise to political prominence. Never mind its relevance or accuracy. For Harris the ends have always justified the means. We saw during the confirmation hearings for now Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh that Kamala Harris is an ambitious politician with a chain-saw-prosecutorial style designed to bludgeon her targets with attacks and arguments that are more bluster than brilliant. She revealed herself to be a political opportunist who, as...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez falsely accuses border patrol agents of forcing illegal immigrants to drink from the toilet Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said that border patrol agents were forcing illegal immigrants to drink form the toilet. These are her exact words:“There’s abuse in these facilities. There’s abuse. This was them on their best behavior, and they put them in a room with no running water, and these women were being told by CBP officers to drink out of the toilet – they were drinking water out of the toilet. And that was them knowing that a congressional visit was coming. This is CBP on...

Kellyanne Conway has claimed that President Donald Trump is on his way to a Nobel Peace Prize thanks to his diplomacy with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Speaking on Fox News on Tuesday, the counselor to the president took a shot at former President Barack Obama, suggesting that he—unlike Trump—did not deserve to receive the honor, Grabien reported.

A report from the Center for Immigration Studies indicates another 35,000 African migrants are on their way to the United States. According to CIS’s Todd Bensman: "Like the proverbial “bulge in the belly of the snake,” unusually high numbers of non-Latino migrants, obviously not from Central America, are now reportedly passing from Colombia through Panama on their way to the U.S. southern border. Their numbers range to the tens of thousands, whose vanguards we have already seen at the U.S. Southwest Border in recent months: Cameroonians, Ghanaians, Congolese, Haitians, Cubans, and some from the Middle East. "Word of their successful...

Weatherby ribbon-cutting cermonyWhen Weatherby Inc. opened its doors to their new headquarters in Sheridan, Wyoming on June 13, 2019, it ushered in a lot more than customers, employees and the media. The company welcomed something they haven’t felt in years – freedom.You see, when Weatherby packed up their people and gun-building business in Paso Robles, Calif., one thing they couldn’t bring with them was California’s support for the 2nd Amendment. It doesn’t exist. And, as Adam Weatherby discovered immediately, Wyoming doesn’t simply tolerate the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution, they support it openly and passionately. California’s distain for American’s constitutional...

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....
