The woman is a cancer-breeding and cancer-killing machine. – Think about it: How many people have you ever heard of who have had lung cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer and liver cancer over a span of less than a decade and lived to tell about it? That’s the record that the extraordinarily enduring Ruth Bader Ginsburg has now racked up in recent years. Today, she announced that she has been receiving treatments for liver cancer since May and the Supreme Court has managed to cover that little fact up until now. She also claimed that her hospitalization earlier this week...

Good John Roberts showed up for court today. – The Supreme Court issued a decision today that could have huge implications for the November elections. On a 6-3 vote, the Court refused to reconsider a lower court ruling that prevents Florida from restoring the voting rights of convicted felons who have not satisfied all the terms of their convictions, including fines and other financial penalties. Liberal Stephen Breyer voted along with the very unreliable “conservative” majority. Plaintiffs had sued the state for denying the vote to felons who had served their time but failed to pay up. Under Florida law...

DOJ Spokeswoman Kerri Kupec was on Fox News with Bill Hemmer this afternoon. During the course of her interview, she told Hemmer that her bosses expect a “report” from U.S Attorney John Durham and his investigation of ObamaGate by the “end of summer.” Or…maybe not. Here’s a clip, followed by a transcript: Transcript: Hemmer: John Durham – when will there be news on that? Kupec: Well, we hope to see a report by the end of summer. Obviously, this is a criminal investigation – the goal is not a report, it’s a criminal investigation. But certainly, there is a story...

Hat tip to @ByronYork on Twitter, who provided this information this morning: You could never make this stuff up. So, here we have a federally-paid-for museum – a part of the Smithsonian museum complex – handing out propaganda that is unambiguously racist by any definition of that word. And it isn’t just the racism at play here that is so repugnant, it is the effort behind this propaganda to convince Black Americans that they should reject examples of “white culture” like: – having both a father and a mother at home; – the value of hard work; – the value...

Liberal writer/editor Bari Weiss is now not “woke” enough to work at the former newspaper that still calls itself the New York Times. Finding herself out of step with increasingly radical left staff at the Times and no longer willing to toe the line of the daily narratives that Times editors coordinate with the Democratic Party, Weiss tendered her resignation with a letter that will leave the pants of the organization’s honchos smoldering. The letter is a work of written art, and completely revealing of the internal cancel culture that is dominant at the Times, and why no one should...

I came across the oddest thing yesterday: A group of conservative opinion/news sites engaged with an aggregator site that is raising money for Black Lives Matter. That aggregator site calls itself Mixi.Media, and at least pretends to be an aggregator specializing in promoting conservative viewpoints. It offers traffic-exchanging partnerships for blogs and websites that sign up and execute a reciprocal advertising agreement. If you go to Mixi.Media’s home page you will see that it looks like a typical news aggregator site, providing logos of its partners (and non-partners as well) and links to their articles. If you establish a login...

[Note: I received this in an email from a friend and great American in Washington, DC today. As we head into the July 4 weekend during this difficult time for our country, it touched me, and I hope it touches you as well.] INSCRIPTIONS OF A NATION In 1994, my good friend Clint Ensign, Vice President of Sinclair Oil published a small book containing the inscriptions from the major memorials, historic buildings and structures in the nation’s capitol. He titled it: “Inscriptions of a Nation – Collected Quotations from Washington Monuments”. It was the culmination of years of effort on...

Dick Cheney was trending on Twitter today, so I had to go figure out why. So often, a famous person’s name trends on that social media platform when they say something stupid or die, and either was certainly possible with the ex-Vice President, who has dealt with major heart issues for twenty-plus years. As it turned out, Cheney was trending due to this presidential tweet: Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump These horrible & politically charged decisions coming out of the Supreme Court are shotgun blasts into the face of people that are proud to call themselves Republicans or Conservatives. We...

Reuters reported this morning that the Department of Justice will propose legislation that would remove exemptions from anti-trust laws enjoyed by big tech firms like Google and Facebook, after Google was revealed yesterday to be engaging in very clear anti-trust behavior in its efforts to de-platform two conservative news sites. From the Reuters piece: The U.S. Justice Department will propose legislation as soon as Wednesday to try to remove protections that big tech platforms like AlphabetÂ’s (GOOGL.O) Google and Facebook (FB.O) have had for decades, a department official said on Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity. President Donald Trump, who...

It’s 1937 in Berlin… – No, wait, it’s 2020 in New York City, and Mayor Warren Wilhelm – who changed his name to Bill de Blasio years ago for some odd reason – is doing this at the largest park in Brooklyn’s main Jewish neighborhood: Joel Fischer @JFNYC1 Yes. This is actually happening now! Bill de Blasio is Welding the gates at the biggest park in the Jewish community, (Borough Park, Brooklyn) So your child shouldn't try to break in. While Hundreds of thousands of people gathered yesterday at Brooklyn Museum.#deBlasioMustGo Embedded video 4,763 10:09 AM - Jun 15, 2020...

After a rare moment of actual honesty, the World Health Organization has now returned to its normal obfuscation and narrative engineering. Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s technical lead on the Wuhan Virus, created a firestorm on Monday when she went off-script and admitted publicly that asymptomatic people “very rarely” transmit the virus to others. That admission, which has become increasingly apparent over time to anyone really following the data trail on the virus’s spread, effectively meant that pretty much everything we have done as a society in response the virus has been wrong. It means that the right approach...

So many items of WINNING news today it’s hard to know where to start. How about this: The ADP private sector jobs report for May is in, and although it’s a big negative number, it’s still positive news in the context of this whole self-imposed Wuhan Virus recession. The ADP number for May came in at a net jobs loss of 2.76 million, which is obviously a depressing number. But – and it’s a big BUT – the consensus of projections by the so-called experts in this field had predicted a loss of 8.663 million jobs, almost 6 million more...

Guest Piece by Gregg Updike The current and ongoing “resistance” movement was spawned when the Democrats didn’t get their “inevitable” candidate elected to continue Obama’s third term. Many (ignorant of political and historical perspective) people who I know to this day still think Obama inherited a mess from Bush Jr. and did a “good” job getting us out of the terrible horrible Bush years. Most are securely employed government workers and were otherwise unaffected by Obama’s stagnant economy. For the most part, this pervasive mindset was driven by the MSM (D) where everything every Republican did was akin to Hitler...

Two days too late, news broke late this morning that Minnesota officials finally decided to arrest Derek Chauvin, the dirty cop who killed George Floyd earlier this week. Had the arrest been made on Wednesday, many Minneapolis/St. Paul businesses that have been burned in the meantime might still be open for business. Meanwhile, we’ve had all sorts of stuff come up this morning to talk about: Floyd and Chauvin actually worked security together at a night club for several years, according to multiple media reports quoting the club’s owner; The Minneapolis Police Department admits that Chauvin had had no fewer...

The only appropriate response to this request is “Hell, no.” – Generalissimo Gretchen Whitmer, the aspiring banana republic dictator who currently serves as Michigan’s brutish Governor, made a startling request of President Trump earlier today. In a letter e-mailed to the President, Herr Gretchen has the utter gall to request an extension under U.S. Title 32 to extend her use of the state’s National Guard at federal expense through … wait for it… JULY 31. I kid you not: The power-mad Whitmer already has this authority in place through June 24, 12 days after her current lockdown order is set...

The nation’s Declining Unfrozen Caveman Presumptive Nominee is losing his social filter. – Creepy Uncle Quid Pro China Joe Biden got himself into hot water today when his elder-abusing handlers pushed him out in front of TV cameras yet again. In his interview with radio host Charlamagne tha God, Biden at one point blurted out “You got more questions but I’ll tell you if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” Yikes. VDO.AI Twitter naturally went crazy for a few hours as an array of outraged black tweeters condemned Biden’s remarks...

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley is not a happy man. – The former Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is understandably irritated about the seemingly endless delays in the process of getting the report on FISA abuse from DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz released to the public. Grassley made his concerns known in a tweet issued Tuesday afternoon: ChuckGrassley ✔ @ChuckGrassley If FISA Inspector General Horowitz report doesn’t come out next week when they said it would then I will be very disappointed & left to wonder WHAT THE GAME IS?? Is someone at FBI or DOJ tying IGs hands?? 31.5K...
