I’ve come across on townhall and hot air a fair number of so called conservatives who blame Trump for the covid crisis. Wonder if I’m not the only one. They seem to be patsies for the Democrat line that each death is the fault of POTUS. They tend to be totally insufferable and immune to rational thought. Frankly I consider them as much the enemy as liberals.

I will admit I like to go to Christian Post and some news sites via Facebook and I connect to friends and family there. I have to question their claim in Community of Standards. "The goal of our Community Standards has always been to create a place for expression and give people a voice. This has not and will not change. Building community and bringing the world closer together depends on people’s ability to share diverse views, experiences, ideas and information. " What a joke. Every time I discuss sodomy I end up suspended. I know the obvious response is...

I hope I am not straying here as I never post general posts. But as a Canadian freeper I am puzzled as to why a road in Harlem is named after a racist like Malcolm X. According to even liberal Wikipedia Malcolm wanted to see the end of the white race. What is the appeal?

TIMOTHY BUSCH IS A WEALTHY MAN with big ambitions. His version of the prosperity gospel, Catholic in content and on steroids, is a hybrid of traditionalist pieties wrapped in American-style excess and positioned most conspicuously in service of free market capitalism. Busch’s organization, the Napa Institute, and its corresponding foundation are among the most prominent of a growing number of right-wing Catholic nonprofits with political motivations. Such groups, some more extreme than others and all on the right to far-right side of the political and ecclesial spectrum, have in recent years muscled in on territory that previously was the largely...

Been keeping an eye on Election Betting Odds. As Republican analysts are getting more confident about Republican chances Election Betting Odds keeps downgrading our chances. Any comments.

r full disclosure, I am Canada. My daughter is in grade 6 and goes to a private school but I discovered something printed from a teaching guide that really bothered me. It is from a publication called "What in the world". I sent an email to the teacher but have not as yet spoke with him. It talks about the US election. Some of the things that popped out were "He will become the 45th president of the United States - and the first without government or military experience". In a headline box is "Did You know? Despite losing the...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. consumer prices recorded their biggest increase in six months in October on rising gasoline costs and rents, suggesting a pickup in inflation that potentially clears the way for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in December. Prospects for a rate hike next month also got a boost from other data on Thursday showing first-time applications for unemployment benefits tumbling to a 43-year low last week and housing starts surging to a nine-year high in October. The reports painted an upbeat picture of the economy early in the fourth quarter and came as Fed Chair Janet...

For the record, Clinton campaign spokesman Josh Schwerin told PolitiFact that Clinton "was not wearing an earpiece." Asked whether she has a hearing aid, he said, "No." So, let’s take a look at the original evidence offered -- a Reuters photo and an enlargement that some say show the suspicious, fleshy bulge in Clinton’s ear.

Reason interviewed the first biographer of Donald Trump who has a warning for taxpayers: "[Trump] doesn't do a deal unless other people are putting up the money. He's very good at losing other people's money and preserving his own," explains author Jerome Tuccille. (see video)

With a bloodshot eye, a cut on his head and his arm in a sling after surgery to reattach his thumb, Spencer Stone, a 6ft 2in off-duty airman and martial arts fan, looked fatigued but relieved to be alive as he slowly came to terms with his new surprise status of American hero. “It feels very unreal, it feels like a dream,” said the quietly spoken 23-year-old as he sat amid the gold leaf and sparkling chandeliers of the US ambassador’s residence in Paris. He was speaking for the first time about how he and his two best friends from...

Donald Trump was asked on “Fox & Friends” this morning for his opinion on the shooting outside Pam Geller’s “Draw the Prophet” contest, and he didn’t mince his words. Brian Kilmeade asked whether he still believed “in freedom of speech, regardless of what they’re talking about — you’ve got to think they could do without being shot, don’t you think?” Trump replied that it’s “very terrible,” but was heartened that the police acted “very strongly” by killing the two suspects. After blaming the “weak action” of the Baltimore police for the destruction of “over 200 businesses in a single night,”...

On this day in 1896, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of a Louisiana law mandating “equal but separate accommodations for the white and colored races” on railroad trains. The ruling upheld racial segregation on the federal level for the first time. In its 7-1 decision, the high tribunal struck a major blow against racial integration. Known as Plessy v. Ferguson, the ruling stood until 1954. Justice John Marshall Harlan wrote a scathing dissent: “Our Constitution is colorblind and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law.” In...

Graduates of a planned law school at a Christian university in British Columbia that forbids sexual intimacy outside heterosexual marriage will not be able to practise in Ontario, that province’s law society decided Thursday. Many members of the Law Society of Upper Canada’s board of directors condemned the policy as “abhorrent,” though several said they would still vote in favour of allowing graduates to practise in Ontario. Ultimately there were 28 votes against accreditation to 21 in favour. Trinity Western University, which plans to open a law school in the fall of 2016, requires students to abide by a covenant...

In a recent 43-54 vote, the U.S. Senate defeated a proposed amendment to the FDA Safety and Innovation Act (S.3187), which we previously reported on here, that would have allowed Americans to purchase drugs from Canadian pharmacies. The Amendment, proposed by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) sought to lower the cost of prescription drugs for Americans. In the days leading up to the vote, McCain had been critical of the pharmaceutical industry for lobbying the Senate to defeat the Amendment. "In a normal world, this would probably require a voice vote, but what we're about to see is the incredible influence...

The median wealth of white households is 20 times that of black households and 18 times that of Hispanic households, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of newly available government data from 2009....

The number of ridings that received alleged illegal voter-suppression calls in the last federal election is greater than previously thought, according to opposition MPs. “You can’t overstate how serious that is,” Martin told CTV’s Question Period. “The most fundamental freedom that we enjoy as citizens in a democracy is the right to vote in a federal election, free and fair and without interference.” Interim Liberal leader Bob Rae told CTV Sunday that he knows of 27 Liberal ridings that received calls and expects that number to grow by Monday. “What inevitably happens is that people will look back at what...

Richard Warman, member of Stormfront and the Canadian "Human Rights" Commission's all but sole plaintiff, recently embarked on legal action against The National Post and its columnist Jonathan Kay plus five bloggers: Ezra Levant, Kate McMillan, Kathy Shaidle and Mark and Connie at Free Dominion. All these folks have been important voices in exposing the rot at the CHRC and the improper and corrupt procedures that have developed since Warman began using the Commission as his personal inquisition. Those in favor of rolling back the "human rights" commissions' powers now include the Canadian Association of Journalists, the Canadian Civil Liberties...

The federal Justice Minister's Irony Detector must be in the shop for a tune-up. How else to explain the memo issued by Rob Nicholson's office to every Conservative MP last week? According to Al Siebring at NoApologies.ca, who leaked the confidential memo entitled Talking Points re: CHRA & CHRC, "it basically instructs MPs to keep a very low profile on any discussion surrounding Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act." I suppose those bloggers who've been running netroots "free speech" campaigns since late last year can look at it this way: That "Talking Points" memo shows that the government...

Over at another site I had been in a verbal exchange with "conservatives" who love Pat Buchanan and post his articles. What I don't understand is what is the love affair with PJB - and what do they mean when they/he mean when they use the term neoconservative? Surely they don't mean former Trotsykiites?
