"Cindy Hyde-Smith has been lying to the Mississippi voters, telling them that she can't debate because of her schedule, when in reality she's not doing it because she lacks the ability to answer difficult questions about her years as a DC lobbyist and her Democrat past" Conservative candidate Chris "Remember Mississippi" McDaniel comments on the Special Election campaign for a US Senate seat in Mississippi In 2014 veteran Washington insider Senator Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi) was forced into primary runoff with State Senator Chris McDaniel. The younger more conservative McDaniel looked like a winner but the dirty tricks were rolled out...

As the hard-hitting questions remain about the Russia probe, and the way the FBI, special counsel, and the DOJ handled the investigation, Rod Rosenstein sits before the House of Representatives. When Trey Gowdy was given his time, Trey Gowdy owns Rod Rosenstein during the latest Congressional hearing. Representative Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.) criticized Justice Department investigators for prolonging their investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election during a tense House Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday.

Western banking met Islam many decades ago, but only began to sleep with her a few years ago. Since then, it is has become a wanton and open affair. The implications for the West, and especially for the U.S., are staggering. Because all Islamic banking products must be created and offered according to strict Sharia law, global banks are doing for Islam what it could never do on its own: Give legitimacy to Sharia and infiltrate it into the fabric of Western society.

This brilliant article by technocracy expert Patrick Wood highlights the advances coming down the pike with so-called smart cities. The U.N. has made a push in recent years to bypass national governments and implement global governance through cities [Recall how when President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the U.N. Paris Climate pact the mayors of many major U.S. cities said they would ignore his decision and proceed to comply with U.N. regulations, not U.S. laws]. Also remember that the UN biosphere project seeks to drive ranchers and small farmers off their land and push more people into cities.

I don’t think Trump knows all that much about the Brotherhood’s history, tactics or deceptive, two-pronged strategy of using both terror and peaceful political warfare against the enemies of Allah. He was simply responding to the global rise in terrorism that was coinciding with a mass population shift from the Islamic world into the Western democracies. Western Europe, which has seen the most Muslim migration over the past couple of decades, has experienced the most terror attacks, sexual assaults on women and clamp-downs on the free speech of non-Muslims. Trump saw that and, rightly, wanted to stop it from coming...

An empty chair for the victims of "gun violence"? Puh-lease. Here's five much better uses for the chair 0bama had at his STFU address last night: 5) The approx. 4000 babies murdered daily at Planned Parenthood, Obama and the Democrats' favorite baby butchery factory, and other clinics. 4) The thousands of men, women, and children who have been beaten, raped, enslaved, burned, drowned, blown up, and any other way murdered by radical Muslims throughout the world, including right here in the United States. Directly, it is inarguable, due to the policies of POSUS himself. 3) Non-blacks who have been murdered,...

Senator Edward Kennedy is a murderer. He should not be celebrated as an elder statesmen who has done wonderful things for our country (Go back and see some of his landmark bills and what they have done to this country). July 18, 1969 should be remembered for the loss of life to Mary Jo Kopechne. Mary Jo was what was called a “Boiler Room Girl” for working in, well, boiler room conditions on Robert Kennedy’s 1968 presidential campaign. She was part speech writer, part secretary, but from all accounts a nice girl who believed in Robert Kennedy and his causes...

Texas teacher named Heather Holland, aged 38, died of complications from the flu after she decided to give up medical treatment because she considered the 116 dollar Tamiflu "too expensive." The complications from flu-like disease led a 38-year-old teacher to the hospital where she died after a septic shock. The cost of the medicine that was prescribed is $116. Heather Holland, of Weatherford, Texas, reportedly fell ill last Monday and two days later was diagnosed with the flu. According to Fox News, doctors prescribed Tamiflu, an antiviral drug that costs approximately $116. However, according to a statement by Holland's husband...

But that chain of authority is often not so clear in the church world, especially amongst non-denominational evangelicals. If a man or woman steps up behind a pulpit and speaks to us authoritatively on matters of theology, why do we automatically accept this authority? Is it because we like what we hear? Or do we validate the authority because the pastor’s interpretation of the Bible jives with our own understanding? But who are we to even make that judgement? Why is our interpretation of the Bible any better than the person sitting next to us on the pew? And if...

Another day, another extremely false “academic” study. More like “epidemic” study. An epidemic of false information and bias. We’ve often talked about the efforts of the left to push an agenda by fabricating factoids. But this is just rich. This new study wants us to believe 1/3 of Californian teens are queer. Of course, it’s from California. Researchers out of the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law and the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research analyzed data from the 2015-2016 version of the California Health Interview Survey, which collected data from 1,300 households.

Lunatic left-wing commentator, or something, Keith Olbermann, used the whole dustup between the President and Sen. Running-Off-At-The-Mouth as his smokescreen for “ending all political commentary in all venues.” In other words, Olbermann, who has been fired so many times by so many media outlets it’s hard to count, was most likely fired by his only current outlet, the dying GQ Magazine. In a farewell Tweet, the former bad sports newsreader for the also-dying ESPN had this to say: “After “Pocahontas,” Trump’s an ex-president waiting to happen – imminently. So this will be the last episode of #TheResistanceGQ. If you’re a...

Sunday’s Required Reading – The Daily Caller has a great piece this morning by Michael Bastach, chronicling many of the innumerable “the end is near” predictions made over the last 30 years by the frauds in the Global Warming alarmist community. It’s a great read, and a good reminder of just how wrong all these projections have been. Of course, the point of the Global Warming scam is not to be right, it is to frighten the public into accepting collectivist political policies as the only “solution” to a problem that most likely doesn’t exist. Speaking of collectivists running scams...

Student deejays of the “Deplorable Radio” show at University of Minnesota-Morris were shut down in mid programming this month after one said the word “tranny” on-air – a word the student program manager called a “hate slur” and a violation of FCC rules when barging into the studio with campus police to pull them off the air. The weekly radio show is now facing cancellation; however, school administrators are hard at work searching for a crime to blame for permanently pulling the show off the airwaves. As it turns out, the word “tranny” is not in violation of FCC rules...

As we all know, crimes like shoplifting are punished harshly by Chinese authorities, especially when committed by foreigners. The previous administration allowed Americans to languish in horrific foreign prisons for crimes far less egregious, yet President Trump wasted little time to bring up the accused UCLA players with expeditious, definitive results. Of course, the black activist left will never acknowledge President Trump's intervention in what could have been a long, drawn-out State Department negotiation that normally leaves the detained Americans in nasty jails for weeks, months, or worse. They'll probably insist President Trump was simply doing his job and probably...

Be honest, you’ve thought it for a long time: The owners of teams in the National Football League are, as a collective group, not very bright. The ham-handed way they and their mouthpiece, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, have handled the ongoing player protests of the National Anthem proves that their group decision-making skills rise no higher than those of that herd of cattle out on Farm Road 888. It’s not that they lack intelligence – they are, as individuals, mostly highly intelligent people. Yes, some – like the Luries, the Maras, the Irsays, the Halases and the Krafts – are...

An open lecture at Scripp’s College in Southern California ignited a firestorm of anti-Muslim sentiment last month when a group in the audience challenged the lecturer about his views on Islamic terrorism and President Trump’s immigration policies. Hussam Ayloush, Executive Director of the Los Angeles chapter of the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA), addressed the Scripps’ audience on the subject of American-Islamic Relations and xenophobic rhetoric in the wake of the 2016 presidential election. The lecture, titled, “Muslims Not Welcome: The Political Ramifications of Islamophobia,” came as part of the school’s Tuesday Noon Academy speaker series held in conjunction with...

On November 8, 2016, the man I had been rooting for, and arguing for, and educating anyone who would listen to me for, was elected the 45th president of the United States. It might as well have been a football game I was watching as I cheered and yelled, rooting for my guy as the states were called. When Trump took Florida, I knew it was over. My guy was winning. Against all the odds and all the naysayers and all the protesting degenerates, and the Hollywood elites’ multi-million dollar fundraisers for Clinton, my man Trump was taking this thing all the way to...

If the headline infuriates you, then you are feeling a bit of what I’m feeling after hearing DeBlasio, Cuomo and the Commish telling New Yorkers, “Hey, we’re New Yorkers! We’re tough and won’t back down to the terrorists killing people off in this city. Halloween will go on as planned!” I’m furious.

A Muslim man in the UK was sentenced to six years in prison Thursday, Oct. 5 for attempting to radicalize two elementary school brothers by showing them Islamic State beheading videos and other terrorist propaganda. Zameer Ghumra, 38, was a pharmacist in Oundle, Northamptonshire up until his arrest at Birmingham airport in September 2015 for disseminating terrorist propaganda and is said to have been in the process of setting up a madrasa (Islamic school). Evidence submitted in the case included a seized computer with 1,600 search results for terms including, “survival knives” and “bushcraft” – a popular term for wilderness...
