President Trump's ongoing diplomatic efforts with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un are reminiscent of former President Richard Nixon opening a channel with China, according to K.T. McFarland. The president's handshake with Kim is similar to Nixon's iconic photograph with China's Communist then-leader Mao Zedong, McFarland claimed Monday on "Fox News @Night." "In 1972, there was a picture of Richard Nixon and Mao Zedong, who was president of China, and the two of them by shaking that hand, it gave the signal to all the Chinese people that things have changed -- we now have a good relationship with America...

When Scott Adams first heard about the way Antifa brutally attacked gay Vietnamese-American journalist Andy Ngo, he was as outraged as any decent person would be. (Leftists, by celebrating the attack or, in Jim Acosta's case, ignoring it despite an entire book about journalists -- i.e., Jim Acosta -- being under siege, have shown themselves to be indecent people.) A problem arose, though, when Adams, who rightly prides himself on being logical and thinking out of the box, watched a video that made him do a 180: suddenly, he has no problem with Antifa. All I can say is that...

In Major Development, Court Orders Unsealing of Docs Related to Alleged Epstein Sex Trafficking Ring The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Wednesday ordered the unsealing of the summary judgement record of lawsuit against a woman accused of running a sex trafficking ring with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The impact of the news has been described as “potentially explosive,” given that the documents could shine sunlight on allegations against Epstein and his former partner and alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, plus unnamed individuals who argued against the unsealing of documents. Virginia Giuffre (formerly Roberts) claimed that Maxwell...

When working in newsrooms in the 1990s, my journalism colleagues often asked me why Rush Limbaugh was so popular. They could not fathom it. I explained it was basic supply meeting pent-up demand; that is, conservatives had felt under attack in every area of media and here came a guy with a microphone giving voice to their worldview, and providing analysis and twists that were done no where else. Limbaugh ushered in a revolution of talk radio hosts, creating an entire industry known as conservative talk radio and probably saving the AM dial. Before Fox News, conservative talk radio stood...

Last week the US Supreme Court rendered its decision on whether the US Census takers will be allowed to ask respondents whether they are citizens. Writing for the 5-4 majority, Chief Justice John Roberts explained the Court’s reasoning: “we aren’t saying that the question is illegal or unconstitutional. We we are saying is that we don’t like the question. As this nation’s final arbiters of everything that’s right and good, Steven, Ruth, Elena, Sonya and I can’t see any reason why such a question should be asked.” In a dissenting opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas lambasted the majority’s ruling calling it...

If They Are The Smartest Group In America Why Do They Say Things & Act Like This In Public? **video is 16 minutes long**

Three years ago, I met a girl at a nightclub in Coventry, England, where many ethnic Chinese students – from mainland China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and elsewhere – often gather. We arranged to meet up the next day for a formal date. The vibes were good at the start. Arrived on time. Greetings. Drinks and snacks. And then, at some point, I innocently uttered the phrase: “Because we from Hong Kong…” My date, from mainland China, swiftly interrupted me. She raised her voice and eyebrows, signaling how angry she was. She rapped the table with her fingers and snapped:...

For too many politicians and presidential hopefuls, a free college education is a cure-all for inequality in America—so long as the federal government can pour enough money into it. Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), for instance, has opted to make “baby bonds” the centerpiece of his campaign. Under this policy, fleshed out in recent weeks, lower-income children would be given a large nest egg by the federal government which could be used for eligible expenses, such as a college education. But whether through redistribution or bloated administrative policies, pumping more money into America’s universities will simply drive college...

VIDEO If it isn't wacky enough that Nike instantly caved to Colin Kaepernick when he objected to the Betsy Ross flag design on their shoes as somehow being a racist symbol, CBS News also hyped this PC insanity as being somehow rational.

The headlines were all screaming that Americans’ pride in being American is at an all-time low. The narrative being, of course, that it was the terrible orange man in the White House that ruined everything. But goodness, if only someone in the media would read (and report) the poll numbers. Because that is not the story at all. The truth according to the poll itself is that Democrats’ pride in being an American is at an all-time low of 22 percent. More specifically, 22 percent are “extremely proud.” When combined with “very proud” — a second option in the Gallup...

NM state senator shocked by DWI arrest: ‘Are you serious?’ ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A New Mexico state senator expressed surprise when he learned he was being arrested on a drunken driving charge, slurring his speech as he lay in an emergency room and saying to an officer, “Are you serious? Jesus Christ.” The comments from Sen. Richard Martinez, D-Espanola, appeared in police lapel video released Monday. Police said he crashed his Mercedes SUV on Friday night into the back of a vehicle that had two people inside stopped at a red light in Espanola, north of Santa Fe.

The coyote is actually a small wolf. Its larger relative, the timber wolf, was what kept its numbers in check in the old days. The Louisiana red wolf is considered by some authorities to be a coyote and timber wolf cross. The coydog is a cross between a dog and a coyote, while the coywolf is a cross between the coyote and the wolf. These are bigger, stronger, and potentially more dangerous. The elimination of its number one enemy, the timber wolf, and the network of roads and bridges man built enabled the coyote to quickly expand its range dramatically....

It’s come to this: CNN’s Fareed Zakaria has emerged as one of the first liberal journalists to admit that the U.S. system of asylum is “out of control” and is being “gamed.”  He discussed the growing crisis on his program, “Fareed Zakaria GPS,” and in a recent column in the Washington Post saying it “pains me to say that he [Trump] is right.”He acknowledges that the number of asylum seekers has skyrocketed in the last five years [3 of which were during the Reign of Obama] which has led to a “staggering backlog in immigration courts.”Zakaria calls the current asylum rules...

VIDEO A Russian peasant is sorely lacking in one aspect of his education. So who better to teach him than the Red Dictator of all the Russias, Joe Stalin?

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Creepy Joe crashing, Mayor Pete plummeting, the Incredible Shrinking Beto, and more.: The fallout in the various polls from last week’s Democrat debates has been fast, fierce and entirely predictable. The winners and losers of those debates were obvious, at least in terms of how the demented Democrat voter base would react. As usual, the fake news media and their “experts” and “analysts” had little clue about any of that. Take Mayor Pete Buttigieg as a great example. All the “expert” talking heads at CNN and MSNBC and Fox ooohed and ahhhed...

The LGBTQ+P for Pedophile Movement is nothing if not smart, clever and calculating. So smart in fact that they are succeeding despite the lukewarm protests Drag Queen Story Hour has received. First they had the audacity to invade public libraries across America and have pedophile men wearing dresses read stories to little children. And yes, many of these drag queens are registered sex offenders. Then once they were able to do all that, now they have activated Step #2 in their grand and evil scheme. What’s that, you ask? Careful, you may not really want to know the answer once...
