Iranian Clergies Spreading Lies and Fake News A lie is an assertion that is believed to be false, typically used with the purpose of deceiving someone. A big lie is one which attempts to trick the victim into believing something major which will likely be contradicted by some information the victim already possesses, or by their common sense. When the lie is of sufficient magnitude it may succeed, due to the victim’s reluctance to believe that an untruth on such a grand scale would indeed be concocted A big lie is a propaganda technique and logical trick (fallacy) the expression...

We have seen people like Alex Jones and other conservatives get silenced, this is not new. However, Kathy Zhu was subject to one of the most childish and new liberal smear tactics; the take back. We all remember the kid in elementary school, who made up a game and changed the rules because you were winning. Maybe they even changed the rules because they didn’t like you. This is what happened to Kathy Zhu, she was subject to the Liberals who play this anti-Trump game in the same fashion as the schoolyard bully. The only problem is that they aren’t...

In a 5 to 4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily given the green light to the Trump administration to reallocate $2.5 billion in Pentagon military funds for construction of a border wall, even as court challenges continue. The court's conservative majority, siding with the White House, lifted a lower court injunction that had temporarily put a hold on the move as the case proceeds. "The government has made a sufficient showing at this stage that the plaintiffs have no cause of action to obtain review of the Acting Secretary's compliance with Section 8005," the court wrote in a...

Great band from the late 1990s and 2000s!

MSNBC contributor and Democratic National Committee advisor Donny Deutsch on Friday said "we're" not going to "play fair" in an effort to put President Donald Trump in jail. (snip) DONNY DEUTSCH, MSNBC: What you said in a couple of minutes yesterday to me is the most important thing that's ever been said on this show, or on any show on this air, and that [is] we are at war. It is time for the Democrats to wake up. We are playing against cheaters and liars or stealers. … We actually have a government led by Moscow Mitch and Criminal Trump...

VIDEO Donny Deutsch, seeing that the chances for Trump impeachment has gone down the tubes due to the testimony FAIL by Robert Mueller, who has gone from saint to schmo in liberal eyes, has gone full apocalyptic over the possibility of Trump's re-election. He suggested that the Democrats must fight DIRTY (as if they haven't done that before). As you will see, Donny is every bit as angry as Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough over facing a future in which Trump has been re-elected.

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace called Robert Mueller’s hearing Wednesday “a disaster for the Democrats and a disaster for the reputation of Robert Mueller.” Former special counsel Mueller appeared in front of the House Judiciary Committee on July 24 to testify on his finalized report and the Trump administration’s alleged collusion with Russia. Throughout his testimony, many pundits pointed to the 74-year-old’s lack of ability to answer questions concisely or even accurately.

The Short And Long Of It All – A Look At Chiappa’s SAA 1873 10-Shot Revolvers The Chiappa 1873 10-shot represents an effort to bring an affordable single-action plinker to the market. Using a cast zamak-alloy frame, they look and feel like the old .45 Colt Peacemakers without being as expensive to buy. Depending on the model they retail anywhere from just under to just over $200. These revolvers are available in the US and come with either a 4.75-, 5.5- or 7.5-inch barrel, the last with adjustable target sights. To me, the main appeal was practicing with inexpensive rimfire...

NOTE: FLOTUS Friday is on vacation and will return next week.I suppose this is good news for some people: Beyond Meat, a company specializing in plant-based burgers, ground “meat” and “sausage,” just announced they are launching a new line of “bacon” as well. Which of course is not bacon-bacon but rather “plant based” “bacon.”Eggplant “bacon”Fiber based “bacon”Plant-based bacon? What do we need that for - we already have plant-based based bacon.Mmm! BACON!Seriously, get the real thing. This paid message was brought to you by the Pork Council of America The only place you’ll find more pork than Washington D.C.The D.C....

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Some Friday odds and ends. – Michael Barthel at the Pew Research Center has a very telling piece up this week about the state of the media in America, by the numbers. Key findings include the fact that total newspaper circulation fell in 2018 to its lowest point since 1940, down about 9% from 2017. Ad revenue was off by a whopping 13% year over year. I can’t think of a more deserving industry – led as it is by the news-faking New York Times and Washington Post – to suffer such...

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said Thursday he feels strongly that Congress should "step up to the plate and do their job" and impeach President Donald Trump. "I feel strongly that that's the same position Congress is in now, and they should step up to the plate and do their job," McCabe said Thursday on CNN. "It doesn't mean that the president will be removed from office or should be removed from office or will be impeached, but it is absolutely clear to me that the time has come for Congress to pursue a dedicated impeachment inquiry." "I think...

Tuition freezes are gaining popularity across the country. Earlier this year, university systems in Virginia and Pennsylvania announced that tuition would not rise in the next academic year, saving students and parents millions of dollars. Purdue University started the tuition-freeze trend in 2013. Under the leadership of its president, Mitch Daniels, Purdue instituted a freeze on all tuition and fees at its flagship campus in West Lafayette, Indiana. Tuition has stayed flat ever since—more than half a decade. Since then, enrollment has increased, students have a more affordable education, and Purdue continues to thrive. University administrators, governing boards, and state...

Here is a movie that I loved as a kid. There are people who think that it is a piece of Satanic propaganda. I disagree. I just think that it is a chunky tongue in cheek, campy, pseudo horror flick from the 1970’s. Here’s my take on this masterpiece of camp. They just don’t make ‘em like The Abominable Dr. Phibes* anymore. In fact, they just don’t make ‘em like Vincent Price anymore, either. Dr. Phibes, first off, is the definitive role that Vincent Price was born to play, and second off, is firmly embedded in a different time. He...

The media thought Mueller would bring the impeachment finally of President Donald John Trump. Instead, Mueller's testimony made impeachment a joke. His rambling answers to questions that had to be repeated several times symbolized the incoherency of the Democrat resistance. They have accused President Trump of so many things that turned out to be untrue so many times that the media is no longer believed by an overwhelming number of people. Only 1% trust all media and only 17% trust most media. The cable channels, newspapers, and White House press corps became obsessed with removing the president from office. They...

I will begin will something democrats have been lying about continuously. https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1154032234518548481That sounds a lot like exoneration. Now on to this statement from Mueller at his press conference “The introduction to the volume two of our report explains that decision. It explains that under long-standing department policy a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. That is unconstitutional. Even if the charge is kept under seal and hidden from public view, that too is prohibited. The special counsel’s office is part of the Department of Justice and by regulation it was bound by that...

Histrionic jumping, screeching and vulgar language at a Trump rally from which she was unceremoniously booted, Tlaib was then--and still is--an out and out RACIST, living under the Commie rule that some Racists are more equal than others. Among all others, ‘Dag Barkley’s’ CFP caricature of Sourpuss Rep. Rashida Tlaib is spot-on. Tlaib sneers rather than smiles, screeches rather than talks, harangues rather than debates. The text in Dag’s latest ‘toon is also poignant: “a fair minimum wage should be $20 an hour. “But $40.00 would be so ‘%$#@$#ing’ more fair.” It seems that the first woman Muslim elected to...

020 Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is suing Google over allegations that the tech giant violated her right to “free speech.” The Democratic Hawaii Rep. alleged that Google censored her presidential campaign, according to a complaint filed Thursday. Google suspended her campaign’s advertising for several hours last month, The Hill reported, and Gabbard‘s complaint stated that it is a violation of free speech. (snip) “In the hours following the 1st debate, while millions of Americans searched for info about Tulsi, Google suspended her search ad account w/o explanation,” Gabbard tweeted Thursday. “It is vital to our democracy that big tech...

"View" co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Meghan McCain found themselves at odds after Goldberg pushed back on the idea that former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's hearing was a complete flop for House Democrats. "They got what they needed," she told ABC's Dan Abrams on Thursday. Abrams had just portrayed the hearings as a failure for Democrats, whom he said needed Mueller to provide a public display for his report findings. Goldberg acknowledged that Mueller's report already detailed concerns surrounding obstruction of justice but indicated the former special counsel's testimony was important to capture the public's attention on the issue. "All people...

Skip Bayless has high expectations for the New England Patriots in the upcoming season. The reigning Super Bowl champions, at least on paper, own one of the easiest regular-season schedules in 2019 and Bayless expects Tom Brady and Co. to take full advantage. The “Undisputed” co-host believes the Patriots will go 13-3, with their losses coming Opening Night against the Pittsburgh Steelers in addition to a pair of “Sunday Night Football” road defeats at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans in Week 9 and 13, respectively.
