There’s something fishy about the impending prosecution of billionaire financier and registered sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. His unsealed indictment of Sunday last goes against a 2007 deal reached between his lawyers and then-US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alexander Acosta – President Trump’s current US Secretary of Labor. Epstein’s light sentence for sex trafficking of underage girls – 13 months in county jail with trips to his Palm Beach office permitted for business – was granted in exchange for testimony against Wall Street executives connected to the selling of derivative investments comprised of toxic subprime loans. The very...

Grab your perspective and your common sense. Leave Don Lemon, CNN and the rest of the Fake News Media where they truly belong: living alone in their bogus simulated world. Grab your perspective and common sense with your coffee every morning and hold on to both throughout the whole livelong day. Seriously. The big question now going the rounds is ‘Are we living in a simulated universe’?

May Heaven help other people of conscience to awaken to the wrongs being committed against the people in this Democratic Republic. It is yet not an oligarchy, and may it continue to remain a Land of Liberty, Apparently, the Obama Administration’s spying on the Trump Campaign in 2016 has not been considered criminal. Also, the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton is not being held liable or accountable for collusion with a British intelligence agent to derail Donald Trump’s campaign, or his legitimate election victory. And, since leaders within the DOJ and the FBI are not accountable for their involvement in...

Pelosi lays no blame at the doorstep of her fellow Democrat Barack Obama who did diddly-squat about bringing Bill Clinton’s buddy Epstein to justice—because Donald Trump is her quarry What could possibly go right in this One, Two, Three Scenario? One: Over the weekend, Christine Pelosi, daughter of Democrat House Speaker House Nancy Pelosi, let the hissing and dissing cat out of the bag revealing that the Jeff Epstein dragnet might include “some of our favs”.

Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla) is demanding that persons who mock members of Congress be prosecuted. "The Constitution says that members of Congress shall not be questioned in any other place," Wilson asserted. "Yet, even the shallowest dive into the Internet bumps into numerous criticisms, insults and threats. Not a day goes by when someone isn't calling for voters to oust me from office. This has got to stop." "We're going to shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut them down and they should be prosecuted," the Congresswoman promised. "Freedom of speech does not protect 'hate speech.'...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) [Editor’s Note: The Campaign Update will be silent from July 11 through July 23 because Dave needs some down time.] Is it all starting to make sense to you now? – Are you starting to understand why the election of Donald J. Trump – a non-swamp creature with no ties to the Deep State – put the Democrats and establishment Republicans into such a state of outright panic? In the wake of the arrest and charging of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, does the focused campaign over the last three years by...

If this doesn't constitute an in-kind campaign contribution, what in the heck would? Today's Morning Joe devoted an 11-minute segment to promoting the candidacy of Amy McGrath, a Democrat who has announced her candidacy to run for the US Senate seat from Kentucky against Mitch McConnell. Even before McGrath appeared, Morning Joe ran the entirety of her minute-long announcement ad. And in ending the interminable segment, the panel repeatedly pushed people to McGrath's website, suggesting that they donate. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

During this year's Aspen Ideas Festival, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg explained that Facebook is increasingly trying to work with governments to determine what political speech it does and does not allow. Oh sorry, I mean: what kind of political ads it is willing to approve. In the particular example Zuckerberg cited, in 2018, American pro-life groups wanted to run advertisements for Facebook users in Ireland. This is because the Irish were about to vote in a referendum on whether abortion should be legalized. When Facebook saw the ad requests, the company contacted the Irish government asking whether this should or...

Just as the Trump administration, with Mexico’s help, appears to be getting a handle on the influx of mostly poor migrants from Central America, a new wave is set to besiege U.S. borders — poor from around the world. According to an analysis by Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), tens of thousands of “exotics” and “extra-continentals” are currently moving towards the United States through Panama. “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...

This week’s Liberal Media Scream features journalist Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame calling for a deep dive on why people support President Trump. On CNN’s Reliable Sources, Bernstein accused Trump of bringing a “cold civil war almost to the point of ignition” by promoting “undemocratic notions and authoritarian notions.” And he urged an exploration of why people support him “no matter what he does, no matter how outrageous seemingly his conduct is.” He urged the media to do “some real reporting” by making “our table bigger in terms of our reportorial landscape.” Carl Bernstein: “No president in the history of...

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has delayed issuing a report on its interminable probe into FBI surveillance abuse. See https://www.foxnews.com/politics/reluctant-witnesses-in-fisa-abuse-probe-agree-to-talk-to-doj-inspector-general. Unfortunately, we cannot trust the Inspector General’s office led by Michael Horowitz to deliver a fair and unbiased report at the end of its lengthy investigation. Like the Mueller Report, it has cost millions of taxpayers’ dollars for career DOJ staffers and investigators to uncover what the rest of the world already knows; i.e., that the FBI and DOJ misled and defrauded the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to obtain warrants to...

Have you ever Helice shoot?, Or even heard of it? Don't worry not many sportsman have heard of it either.

Congress can’t find a way forward to address our illegal immigration problem because they don’t want to. That would be like shutting off the NPC voter spigot. When you can’t even see your way clear to ask people if they are citizens on an official Census form – a concept that might have been considered not only non-controversial but essential as recently as 2 decades ago – you certainly won’t be able to solve the illegal entry problem on the southern border.Maybe after Attorney General Bill Barr resolves the Census gridlock issue he can help Congress find a way to...

Why now? The fact that the Southern District of New York is handling this provides the answer. With the Clinton-Obama-Mueller Collusion Hoax having collapsed, and the Democrat-controlled House investigations going nowhere, the SDNY is now the only real weapon left with which to try to decapitate the Trump presidency. The SDNY is going to try and get Epstein to rat on Trump. That is, they are going to force him to read lies from a pre-written script in open court to once again smear the President as either a pretext for impeachment or to destroy his bid for reelection. For...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) [Editor’s Note: The Campaign Update will be silent from July 11 through July 23 because Dave needs some down time.] The world mourns the loss of a leftist hero. – Americans all over…well…somewhere were saddened on Monday when Democrat presidential non-contender Eric Swalwell, who famously promised on Twitter to nuke recalcitrant citizens who refused to surrender their guns to his planned army of jack-booted thugs, announced he was ending his campaign. Swalwell had run a valiant, disciplined and focused campaign, one that saw him rise all the way up to next-to-last place...

In order for the women’s soccer team to be paid as much as the men’s team, at least one of these two things should have to happen In order for the women’s soccer team to be paid as much as the men’s team, at least one of these two things should have to happen:1) The women’s games generate as much advertising revenue as the men’s games.2) The women’s team plays 25 games against the men’s team, and the women’s team wins at least 40% of those games.

Just when you think you've heard it all, the American Psychological Association (APA) decides this: Monogamy is the new bigotry. That's right. According to the supposed "mental health experts," open marriages are the tolerant approach to intimacy. And they've launched a task force to prove it to the world. According to the APA's official description of this initiative, "Finding love and/or sexual intimacy is a central part of most people's life experience. However, the ability to engage in desired intimacy without social and medical stigmatization is not a liberty for all." People who practice "consensual non-monogamy," as they call it,...

Colin Kaepernick has a soul mate in Megan Rapinoe. The two of them could be a pair. Rapinoe announced to the whole world that she would not be singing the national anthem at the games in protest of Donald Trump Soccer star Megan Rapinoe has vowed to continue her national anthem protests while representing the US in next month’s Women’s World Cup — calling it a “good ‘F you'” to the Trump administration. “I’ll probably never put my hand over my heart,” the 33-year-old national co-captain told Yahoo sports.“I’ll probably never sing the national anthem again.” Rapinoe, who already sparked outrage by taking...
