‘Party of 3,000 Deaths’ Accuses Republicans of Being Okay With Murder2% of counties populated by Democrats were responsible for 56% of the country’s murders By Daniel Greenfield A little bit of background. 3,595 black people were murdered in 2019. But in 2020, 5,839 black people were murdered. That’s an additional 2,244 black people killed. 3,060 white and Latino people were killed in 2019, which rose to 4,167 in 2020. BLM and pro-crime policies that unleashed a massive crime wave made a difference of 3,000 deaths plus. America’s murder capitals are Dem territories. Without them, America would be safer than safe.A...

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) took aim at the National Rifle Association on Sunday during her town hall on Fox News. She set herself up to be this strong proponent of gun control laws and legislation. In fact, she criticized the NRA and made a number of false statements about the pro-gun group. She also seemed to forget that before she ran for the Senate, she wrote a letter to the NRA, praising the group for their work to protect the Second Amendment. In that letter, she said she wanted to work with the pro-Second Amendment organization. Suddenly she's doing a...

It appears the Mueller investigation is winding down. The search for the rare Russian Collusion election birdie has turned up only a few lost Democratic canaries, chirping away in the ether. The only collusion was within the FBI, which desperately wanted to rid itself of a duly elected president, in favor of a woman some of them had prostituted themselves before for years and years. Those FBI canaries will now have their chance to sing. Both the House of Representatives and the FBI inspector general have requested criminal prosecution of those FBI personnel with a “higher loyalty” to Mrs. Clinton...

PHILADELPHIA — California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) says the presidential election is looking “very uncertain,” and Hillary Clinton should be worried. Brown, who arrived in Philadelphia on Tuesday, said recent polls show the race between Clinton and Donald Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, is “very tight, very tight.” When asked if Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, should be nervous about her sagging numbers, Brown said, “Of course.” “You think she isn’t? It’s very uncertain at this point and very threatening,” he told The Hill. “Full alert is what I would say.” Clinton’s campaign has signaled that it is concerned...

The head of the Democratic National Committee will not speak at the party's convention next week, a decision reached by party officials Saturday after emails surfaced that raised questions about the committee's impartiality during the Democratic primary. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, whose stewardship of the DNC has been under fire through most of the presidential primary process, will not have a major speaking role in an effort "to keep the peace" in the party, a Democrat familiar with the decision said. The revelation comes following the release of nearly 20,000 emails. One email appears to show DNC staffers asking how they...

Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen supported presumptive Democratic nominee for president Hillary Rodham Clinton because he opposed the presidential candidacy of presumptive GOP nominee Donald J. Trump. Mateen’s friend Mohammed Malik revealed Mateen’s support for Hillary Clinton in a Washington Post essay this week. Malik wrote: We talked about the presidential election and debated our views of the candidates that were running – he liked Hillary Clinton and I liked Bernie Sanders. This banter continued through texts and phone calls for several months. My last conversation with Omar was by phone in mid-May. He called me while he was at the...

We are at that point; actually FAR beyond that point where we need to be drilling wherever we can in this vast land of ours. We need to wean-off and eventually remove ourselves from dependence on mid-east oil. Why won't, why don't the dims understand this???? Time has come today. Jobs/Oil/Productivity. No brainer. Where are the dims?

WASHINGTON -- President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration. "You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package. One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts. "There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats," the official said. "We shouldn't...

Some were furious. Others were sad, even tearful. Many more accepted the news with graceful resignation, trying to hide their worries. At the end of a week that brought nothing but more grim economic news, that's how dozens of state workers greeted the state personnel department's announcement that thousands of California public servants will be furloughed two Fridays a month and lose 10 percent in pay, starting Feb. 6. None found the prospect of two three-day weekends a month appealing in the current economy. "Sweet Jesus, help me God," sighed Jolene Deaton, a vital records staffer at the Department of...

The thunder of this year's Fourth of July fireworks may provide brief respite from the partisan clamor over who is the truer patriot — John McCain or Barack Obama. The battle lines are familiar. They were drawn during the Vietnam War, when McCain was a prisoner of war, and Obama but a child. Four decades later, the contrast between two presidential candidates has never been starker. Here is the grizzled former Navy flier who has vowed "I will never surrender in Iraq." And there, the brash newcomer with the unlined face whose startling success already is the source of so...

A Limbaugh Analysis of Oil Prices BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Snerdley says we have a lot of people calling about oil today. I'm getting e-mails about this, too, and there obviously is some kind of campaign out there to have oil discussed. You know, the story out there past couple of days is "experts" say that the barrel price of oil will soon hit $200 -- and this is roiling the markets, they say. Now, I want you to stop and think about something, folks. If $200-a-barrel oil leads to the pump price of $10 a gallon at the gasoline pump,...

Senate Democrats might force Republicans to wage a filibuster if the GOP wants to block the latest Iraq withdrawal bill, aides and senators said Tuesday. That could set the stage for a dramatic end-of-the-year partisan showdown, which Democrats hope will help them turn voter frustration with Congress and the stalemate over Iraq into anger with the Republican Party. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.), the number two Democrat in the chamber, said a forced filibuster is “possible” and would “generate attention.” “We want to go to the bill, and [Republicans] have to decide initially whether they want us to go...

As the congressional session lurches toward a close, Democrats are confronting some demoralizing arithmetic on Iraq. The numbers tell a story of political and substantive paralysis more starkly than most members are willing to acknowledge publicly, or perhaps even to themselves. Since taking the majority, they have forced 40 votes on bills limiting President Bush’s war policy. Only one of those has passed both chambers, even though both are run by Democrats. That one was vetoed by Bush. Indeed, the only war legislation enacted during this Congress has been to give the president exactly what he wants, and exactly what...

DFU YOUTUBE SING-ALONG - THE DEMOCRAT SOUND OF TREASON Democrats In Congress to Troops: “Drop Dead” Update: Democrats Institute Treason As Official Party Policy March 23rd, 2007 Posted By Pat Dollard. By signaling to the enemy that we will run even if the job isn’t finished, how many more American troops did Congress sentence to death today, by encouraging the enemy to keep up the fight? Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of the Democratic Congress, have voted to cut off funding for our troops in Iraq. They will claim that they did not, but only voted for...

As Representative Nancy Pelosi faced the cameras Wednesday morning, after the Democrats had taken a majority in the House and put her on the brink of becoming the first female speaker, she spoke so softly at first that some reporters insisted they could not hear her. “I’m not in charge of the technical arrangements,” Ms. Pelosi said quietly, fiddling with the microphone. Then suddenly, she was commanding: “But I could use my mother-of-five voice!” It is a line Ms. Pelosi uses often, and a voice she may have to rely on frequently as she tries to ensure that the new...

Half-Vast Ideas My Two Cents on Hollywood’s Fixation With Conspiracies By David J. Aland 24 March 2006 There are two kinds of people in the world: People who divide the people in the world into two kinds of people, and people who don’t. Knowing that there are many of the former does not invalidate the latter, despite the apparent contradiction. After all, being paranoid doesn’t mean you don’t have enemies – but it doesn’t mean that you do, either. And there’s no need to manufacture them. Case in point: it appears that Charlie Sheen (“I’m no President, but dad plays...

The Democrats are in such disarray that their constant scandal-mongering to no effect is starting to inflict friendly fire on their own ranks. It looks like it’s every man for himself. Nick Danger at RedState.Org noticed that Joe Biden was not exactly out in front defending Senate Minority Leader Reid, who may be implicated in the Abramoff scandals. Senator Joseph Biden (D-DE) failed today to address rumors that Nevada Senator Harry Reid will step down next month as Senate Minority Leader. Reid has been stung by revelations that his political action committee (PAC) accepted more than $60,000 in contributions from...

As optimism poured into their hearts and knowledge crammed into their brains, more than 100 local residents peered with a wan smile into their collective future Friday during the first official smart growth educational workshop. Four erudite speakers presented a path toward a near-utopian life for Ukiahans -- full of walkable communities, slower traffic and more prominent greenscaping. But it was the far-reaching, more intimate impacts of smart growth that produced a series of gasps from the audience. A cross-sectional crowd of elected officials, public and private planners, contractors, builders and other concerned citizens took part of the workshop, co-sponsored...
