Hey, look, CNN isn’t saying they want Trump to be assassinated. They’ve just been doing a lot of thinking about what would happen if he was. The following appeared on their network yesterday. You didn’t see it, because it’s CNN: “Dear Viewer: What would happen if — and God forbid it happens — all the people you hate most in the world were wiped out all at once?” These guys are in mourning, and they’re desperate for any glimmer of hope that they can cling to the power they crave above all else. They couldn’t get out the vote on...

My dream last night. Everywhere, across this great land, I saw long lines at the polling stations on election day with everyone in line yelling "LOCK HER UP!, LOCK HER UP!, LOCK HER UP!!!!" MAGA!!!

If you haven’t read the latest book on Pre-suasion by professor Robert Cialdini, a persuasion expert, let me detail below how the mainstream media is actively deploying pre-suasion tricks in order to secure a Clinton “win”. Or rather, how they intend to make the American people comply with a rigged election. Dilbert creator Scott Adams, himself a persuasion expert, also believes professor Cialdini has been helping the Clinton campaign. Besides, as Cialdini writes, something of this scale has been done before. In order to win the people’s support for continued wars in the Middle East, the establishment media decided to...

We know the Clinton's have gotten tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars from muslim gulf state governments and agents over the past 10-15 years. I believe there's been a conspiracy by these same governments to spread islam and jihad throughout the West by buying corrupt Western politicians, journalists, other influential figures and institutions. I believe billions of dollars have gone into secret bank accounts of these traitorous criminals. I don't think there's any other way to explain what's going on here. Pray to the Lord Jesus Christ that we're able to stop it.

Why does it seem that American society is in decline, that fairness and decorum are receding, that that socialism and tyranny are becoming malignant despite the majority of the public being averse to such philosophies, yet the true root cause seems elusive? What if everything from unsustainable health care and social security costs, to stagnant home prices and wage stagnation, to crumbling infrastructure and metastasizing socialism, to the utter decimation of major US cities like Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh, could all be traced to a common origin that is extremely pervasive yet is all but absent from the national dialog,...

I have an idea for a political cartoon that I'd like some political satirist to use. Please pass it on if you feel it's worthy. Setting: Obama standing in front of the graduates at Notre Dame pronouncing to them as he did to Harry Reid "I have a gift". At the same time he is saying this he is holding the miniature casket of a freshly aborted child, his tragically ironic gift. The hundreds of so called "Catholics" in the audience are saying to each other just how wonderful he is and how he will save the world. As I...

Listen up people! This is not about John McCain, this is a about America. America as our country, and America the idea.For those of you complaining about this and that and the other. Get over it and get out and do something positive to defeat the biggest threat our country has faced in our lifetime. We all must do all we can to get involved and win this. Keep doing anything and everything you can think of that will be effective. We can't give up! Success is directly related to the EFFORT and intelligence employed toward a goal. We have...

How do you defeat an opponent that’s willing to lie about anything, cheat at any level, distort reality beyond recognition, and destroy anyone that gets in their way? This is what we’re facing in the left today. They have taken control of the major media in this country and around the world and are using it relentlessly to promote their agenda and destroy their opponents. What they are currently doing to try and destroy Sarah Palin is the latest and most obvious example. They are pounding the American people daily with literally hundreds of manufactured stories full of lies, distortions...

I feel compelled the dispel ten myths that I see as pervasively present in American society. These are beliefs that are repeated so often, and with so little opposition, that they are taken as fact. However, they fail to stand up to mathematical analysis, logical reasoning, or both. In no particular order, let me evoke John Stossel and proceed to puncture these oft-unchallenged myths. 1) School Teachers are Underpaid in America : In any free-market setting, no profession will be perpetually underpaid, relative to output produced. Another clue is that private school teachers actually earn less than public school teachers....

Falling numbers of state dentists in England has led to some people taking extreme measures, including extracting their own teeth, according to a new study released Monday. Others have used superglue to stick crowns back on, rather than stumping up for private treatment, said the study. One person spoke of carrying out 14 separate extractions on himself with pliers. More typically, a lack of publicly-funded dentists means that growing numbers go private: 78 percent of private patients said they were there because they could not find a National Health Service (NHS) dentist, and only 15 percent because of better treatment....

An aspect of the war on terrorism that gets too little attention, yet is as important as any other, is the media war. Whether they realize it, members of the mainstream media are participants in the war on terrorism, and nowhere is that more evident than in Iraq. Blogger Bill Roggio, who has embedded as a journalist in Iraq and Afghanistan, says the enemy’s documents reveal that much of their strategy revolves around manipulation of the media. An enemy unable to beat us on the battlefield is employing a strategy of attacks planned specifically for maximum media coverage and effect....

This is an article I could have written a long time ago. I refrained in order to let fatigue diminish the visibility of the vicious anti-US fifth column (8-10% of the US population), which to a large extent, has happened. Applying true Sun-Tzu tactics, their exhausted state is the perfect time for a counterattack. If you don't believe that an anti-US fifth column exists in America, read these voluntarily written articles from some very well-known blogs : Daily Kos, The Left Coaster, Daily Kos again, and the comments here. There is a significant percentage of the US population that does...

A Marine who's planning to marry a Texan got an early Christmas present: A fellow shopper picked up the tab for a $3,000 diamond engagement ring after the two struck up a conversation in a jewelry store. The 54-year-old Dallas woman who paid for the 1-carat, princess cut diamond ring wants to remain anonymous, Helzberg Diamonds spokeswoman Stacey McBride told The Associated Press on Friday. The woman's father was in the military, her brother was a Marine who died in Vietnam and her nephew just got back from Iraq, McBride said. Marine James Lynaugh, 28, of Patuxent River, Md., was...

President Clinton and his national security team ignored several opportunities to capture Osama bin Laden and his terrorist associates, including one as late as last year. I know because I negotiated more than one of the opportunities. From 1996 to 1998, I opened unofficial channels between Sudan and the Clinton administration. I met with officials in both countries, including Clinton, U.S. National Security Advisor Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger and Sudan's president and intelligence chief. President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir, who wanted terrorism sanctions against Sudan lifted, offered the arrest and extradition of Bin Laden and detailed intelligence data about the...

Detroit is the most liberal U.S. city while Provo, Utah, is the most conservative, a study of voting patterns indicates.The list was compiled by the Bay Area Center for Voting Research in California through an examination of voting in 237 U.S. cities with populations of more than 100,000."Detroit and Provo epitomize America's political, economic and racial polarization," BACVR Director Jason Alderman said in a release Thursday. "As the most conservative city in America, Provo is overwhelmingly white and solidly middle class. This is in stark contrast to Detroit, which is impoverished, black and the most liberal." Gary, Ind., was found...

Spinning facts and figures is as old as politics itself, but last night, Sen. John Kerry marshaled a mountain of distortions in his indictment of the Bush administration. Here’s the rundown, reserved for purposes of clarity and brevity to the areas of economy and jobs, health care, and college costs: Economy and Jobs - Kerry claimed that during the Bush administration, “1.6 million jobs [were] lost.” In truth, the figure is half that. Only 800,000 net jobs have been lost, and even that figure is widely expected to be revised downward to 600,000. Considering that 9/11 wiped out 1 million...

DASHT-E QALA, AFGHANISTAN - The Taliban has committed so many atrocities during its five-year reign in Kabul that Afghans seem almost resigned, but even veteran military surgeon Mohammad Atiq was shocked to discover government opponents were being used as human blood banks. Dr. Atiq, an army surgeon who runs the Dasht-e Qala field hospital -- a dirty canvas tent surrounded by mud walls -- says he has examined the bodies of civilians and prisoners of war who had died after Taliban doctors removed large quantities of blood from their bodies. This brutal method of execution serves the dual purpose of ...

Spy agency destroys data, angering other agencies in terror fight. By John Donnelly, Globe Staff, 10/27/2001 WASHINGTON - Analysts at the super-secret National Security Agency, acting on advice from the organization's lawyers, have been destroying data collected on Americans or US companies since the Sept. 11 attacks - angering other intelligence agencies seeking leads in the antiterrorist probe, according to two people with close intelligence ties. Some Central Intelligence Agency analysts and staff members of the House and Senate intelligence committees fear that important information that could aid in the investigation, and perhaps even redirect it, is being lost in ...

Simpson on Sunday: The Taliban are a ragbag of deluded opportunists By John Simpson (Filed: 28/10/2001) HAVING watched the American bombing of Taliban positions from the Northern Alliance front line every day for a week now, it is clear to me that the tactics and even the weapons being used are having precisely the opposite effect on the Taliban from the one intended. Instead of demonstrating the awesome might of the world's greatest military power, the bombing is convincing the Taliban that the Americans are inadequate and effete; and the baffled, discouraged statements coming out of Washington during the past ...
