Well, sadly, it seems some people didn’t learn anything from that violent, deadly disaster. Meet the “Tenacious Unicorn Ranch,” another Antifa-armed commune out in Custer County, Colorado, where queer and trans radicals tried—and miserably failed—to build their own Marxist utopia. Of course, right on cue, leftist media swooned, hailing it as a stunning and brave progressive safe haven. And while the left was busy congratulating themselves for their “brave” new utopia, the ranch was busy cashing in on phony “right-wing threat” stories and stunts. They squeezed every dime they could out of Patreon, GoFundMe, and PayPal. Nothing like a fake...

The time for IMPEACHMENT has arrived.Today will go down in recorded history of the turning point in the ongoing destruction of America, America’s heritage and the conversion to Socialism and Pacifism.  We, the older generation who lived in the “old America” have had enough.  It’s time to bring back responsibility, traditional values, and all other means that required self-reliance, self-discipline and morality.  It has to stop here…TODAY!I watched in amazement, our timid, Muslim President spew forth verbal vomit in commenting on the Florida shootings.  He blamed guns for the massacre, not the Islamic hatred of America and all it...

Psychologists have shown humans are poor judges of their own abilities, from sense of humour to grammar. Those worst at it are the worst judges of all. You're pretty smart right? Clever, and funny too. Of course you are, just like me. But wouldn't it be terrible if we were mistaken? Psychologists have shown that we are more likely to be blind to our own failings than perhaps we realise. This could explain why some incompetent people are so annoying, and also inject a healthy dose of humility into our own sense of self-regard.

PARIS — The United States used to call wayward members of NATO back to the reservation with a whistle or a shout. It decided what was deviation from doctrine, and that decision was pretty much law. When the Obama administration stamped its foot this time, no one snapped to attention. Rather, Germany and France, meeting with Russia in Deauville, northern France, last week, signaled that they planned to make such three-cornered get-togethers on international foreign policy and security matters routine, and even extend them to inviting other “partners” — pointing, according to diplomats from two countries, to Turkey becoming a...

What happened to the bright dreams, the hope and change? A year ago, fate handed President Obama one of the most tantalizing political opportunities in history. His party enjoyed a blowout election. The Republicans were leaderless and devoid of ideas. The Democrats had hefty majorities in both houses of Congress. Obama had stratospheric approval ratings and the support of a nation profoundly fearful of the future. And then he threw it all away. He outsourced chunks of his job to a left-wing congressional leadership that has learned nothing and forgotten nothing for the past 35 years. What came next was...

A visit to North Korea by U.S. envoy Stephen Bosworth ended in failure Thursday to convince the North to return to multilateral nuclear disarmament talks. "We identified some common understandings on the need for and the role of the six-party talks and the importance of the implementation of the 2005 Joint Statement," Bosworth told reporters. "It remains to be seen when and how [North Korea] will return to the six-party talks." He added, "This is something that requires further consultations among all six of us." But Bosworth claimed he had "very useful" meetings with senior North Korean officials. Further bilateral...

Bush is turning this thing over to Bill Clinton... He is having Bubba take charge and take credit for the aid relief to those affected by Hurrican Katrina. It's unthinkable that Reagan would have turned over something so potentially popular and important as this to Carter. The Bushes are New England RINOS at their heart-- they have no idea how to stand tall in the saddle. That he would let Clinton (and Hillary by extension) seize the limelight shows what dupes they are. This is just the latest in a long line of disappoinmtments. Bush needs to figure out a...
