No serious person doubts that the debates are stacked against President Trump. It's become a given that the Commission on Presidential Debates is a partisan group of hacks bending over backwards to protect Biden from a sharp opponent and even himself. But a moderator taking his marching orders from a known anti-Trumper? C'mon man! That's the realm of conspiracy theorists, right? Wrong. Thanks to a serendipitous blunder by a technology-challenged Steve Scully, it's now obvious for all to see. This is exactly what's been going on. Wouldn't it be nice to see the rest of the moderators DMs? Looking at...

In a surprise move, Boeing announced Thursday it will move all 787 Dreamliner production from Washington to South Carolina, a state known for its business-friendly environment. Washington Governor Jay Inslee immediately slammed the company for “turning its back” on the state and threatened a review of Washington's “favorable” tax treatment of Boeing.

Inslee should have focused more on creating a business-friendly environment in Washington, instead of acting like businesses don't have the right to choose where they locate.

"Our message to the person that's occupying Gracie Mansion is...

These pre-staged stockpiles have been documented in several flashpoint cities including Minneapolis, Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle and Fayetteville, NC.

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden appeared to come unhinged again while touring an auto plant in Detroit. The candidate had been acting jovial just moments before when an exchange with an auto worker became heated after the conversation turned to guns control. Biden pointed his finger in the workers face while yelling “wait, wait, wait, wait” and the worker appeared to try to wave him off. A colleague standing next to the worker appeared to pat his back in an attempt to keep him calm. A campaign aide appeared from behind toward the end of the video in an obvious...

Relying heavily on a report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), NBC News published this article Thursday that defines ‘boogaloo’ as a fringe term used by an “anti-government movement that advocates for a violent uprising targeting liberal political opponents and law enforcement.” It breathlessly warns that the “new and discreet” term has moved from the “fringes of the internet into the mainstream” — they're scared, and you should be too. Forget if you can that the article (quite revealingly) equates “anti-government” to “pro-Second Amendment,” and let's just focus on what has to be the underlying message: words equal violence....
