The definitive answer to the question “Will Obama endorse Joe Biden for President?” comes from Obama himself, and I guess the answer is no: “If you look at the world and look at the problems it’s usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way.” Barry expanded on the problem cause by “old men.” “I’m absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything … living standards and outcomes.” I guess nobody has advised him that “old man”...

So there we have it. It turns out that the British working-class was not, in the end, willing to throw its weight behind a London-centric, youth-obsessed, middle-class party that preached the gospels of liberal cosmopolitanism and class war. Who’d have thought it? Well, me for a start. And plenty of others who had been loyal to the party over many years and desperately wanted to see a Labour government, only to be dismissed as ‘reactionaries’ who held a ‘nostalgic’ view of the working-class. It barely needs saying that these election results are an utter catastrophe for Labour. Labour’s meltdown in...

Here's how BB guns came to be a favorite Christmas present for youngsters, and a whole lot more. - For well over 100 years, the BB gun has been a rite of passage for many youngsters. It was a training tool for the next rite of passage, the first real gun. Sadly, many missed out due to a widespread misuse of the BB gun that prompted many parents to skip that first step and go straight to the .22 a few years later. The infamous BB gun wars, where kids shot each other with BB guns, caused many to lose...

I seldom do gun reviews. They take a lot of time to do right; many others are already doing them. That doesn't mean I won't comment on items that deserve it.Taurus TX22 Pistol I mentioned the Taurus TX22 from the Shot Show last year. I was impressed with the pistol. I recently acquired one, by purchase, at the normal price. It is an impressive pistol, a great choice for nearly everything a .22 pistol is called upon to do. I have had a hard time finding serious accuracy testing of the pistol online, so I did what I could...

What in the hell is going on at Fox News? – On Monday, Fox News came out with yet another poll whose findings are, to say the least, difficult to explain. The poll, conducted by Braun Research out of Princeton, NJ, finds that voters favor the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump by a margin of 50% to 46%. The poll’s sample of “1000 registered voters” was conducted from December 8 through December 11, basically a week ago. Four other current polls, by Qunnipiac, CNN, NPR/PBS/Marist and USA Today/Suffolk – all notoriously slanted in favor of Democrats – all...

When Kamala Harris dropped out two weeks ago, it hit Cory Booker hard. She may have been his rival in the race for the Democratic nomination, but her exit represented something bigger. If Harris — a friend of Booker’s and the only black woman in the race, who began her campaign with such promise — couldn’t make it to Iowa, what did it mean for him, a black man still in the fight but unable to qualify for the Democratic debate? At the heart of Booker’s dilemma is a larger question about the Democratic Party and American politics: What if...

By now you have likely heard of the murder of Sgt. Kaila Sullivan of the Nassau Bay Police Department. While attempting to take a violent gang member, with a lengthy criminal history, who had several open warrants into custody, she was viciously run over and killed. The suspect in this capital murder of a police officer, then went on the run for two days resulting in a city and county wide man hunt, that even had federal officials traveling to Louisiana looking for him. This search captivated the City and had everyone on edge on where this heinous criminal may...

NEW YORK — Many New Yorkers may dream of buying a home, whether it's a Brooklyn Heights brownstone or an almost suburban house in eastern Queens. But a new report suggests housing is unaffordable for the typical worker in all five boroughs. In the report published Thursday, ATTOM Data Solutions crunched housing and wage numbers for 473 of the nation's more than 3,000 counties nationwide. It determined affordability by assuming a 28 percent maximum "front-end" debt-to-income ratio. That means a buyer purchasing an affordable home would not be spending more than 28 percent of their income on house payments including...

Undocumented immigrants officially have the “green light” in New York – they can now apply for a state driver’s license thanks to the Green Light Law. On Monday, the line at the Yonkers DMV wrapped around the block with hundreds of people waiting -- many to obtain their license. People started lining up before 8 a.m. As of 11:30 a.m. many were on line for more than three hours. However, the wait did not end once they entered the DMV, because once inside the building they had to wait another three and a half hours to apply for the driver...

Mr. President, please pardon General Mike Flynn! Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan on Monday rejected Sidney Powell’s request for additional Brady Material and announced Flynn will be sentenced on January 28. General Flynn was railroaded by the Deep State, FBI and crooked Mueller team — he has spent an exorbitant amount of money defending himself. The FBI ambushed Flynn at the White House during the Trump transition and altered the 302 FBI reports from the ambush interview. Flynn didn’t even have his lawyer with him because the FBI didn’t inform him that he was being targeted. Powell added, “Mr. Flynn is...

President Donald Trump committed criminal bribery and wire fraud, the House Judiciary Committee alleges in a report that will accompany articles of impeachment this week. The report, a 169-page assessment of the case for Trump’s removal from office, contends that Trump committed “multiple federal crimes” — ones that Democrats addressed under the broad umbrella of “abuse of power,” the first article of impeachment against the president. “Although President Trump’s actions need not rise to the level of a criminal violation to justify impeachment, his conduct here was criminal,” the panel’s Democrats argue, labeling Trump’s behavior “both constitutional and criminal in...

If it wasn’t clear to you before today, it should be now. – The Democrats plan to make impeachment a permanent feature of their owning a majority of seats in the House of Representatives. Further, the plan to make the coming 2020 elections a referendum on their attempt to also gain control of the Senate. That became clear on Monday, as reported by Politico: In a filing to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, House General Counsel Douglas Letter argued that the House’s demands for grand jury materials connected to former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation were still urgent because...

Now that the Virginia State Legislature and the Governorship are under solid Democrat control, steps are underway to infringe on citizens' rights to bear arms. More than 80 local governments—cities and counties—have declared themselves "Second Amendment sanctuaries." Democrats are calling for punitive action against "these outlaws." Rep. Donald McEachin (D-Richmond) suggested "cutting off state aid to sanctuary jurisdictions" or "maybe calling out National Guard troops to suppress those rebelling against State authority. Gov. Ralph Northam took what he termed "a more nuanced approach. If these scofflaws won't comply with gun control regulations I'll sit down with legislative leaders and have...

The Senate should do something completely unexpected and send the articles of impeachment right back down to the house, and tell them they are not sufficient to conduct a trial, since they have no actual crimes mentioned.

"... The Stasi was the Ministry for State Security, also known as the State Security Service in the Deutschland Democratic Republic (DDR), what we used to call East Germany. In its short forty years of existence from February 1950-January 1990, not too long ago, the “Stasi” was one of the most brutal and repressive intelligence and secret police agencies in the world. ..."

Justin Lecea — a self-described “Bernie Democrat” running to unseat Texas Democratic Congressman Joaquin Castro — is defending a tweet in which he wished former President Barack Obama would get cancer. Over the weekend, Lecea retweeted an Obama tweet reminding people about the deadline for enrollment in Obamacare, and added his uncharitable message. “I just want you to think about all the people who have and will die because Obamacare is pointless and your entire presidency was a waste,” he wrote, and added “If god was just you would get the most malignant cancer imaginable.”

The news was buried under two dense paragraphs and five large photos in an article in New York YIMBY about a different project: "Construction has also yet to begin on 51 Park Place, which is slated to become a 71-foot-tall, 16,000-square-foot Islamic cultural center." The infamous Ground Zero Mosque project, a long buried effort to build a triumphal mosque at the site of the worst jihad terror attack in American history, is back. Construction has yet to begin, but it will: the shady developer behind the Ground Zero Mosque scheme, Sharif El-Gamal, has been working to build this sinister structure...
