(snip) ...one writer about a year ago wrote a piece asserting 15 similarities between Reagan and Trump. That thing has been sent to me more often than I could count. It practically went viral. Enough is enough. Yes, it’s time. I can hear Trump supporters protesting me writing this now, insisting that it’s time to unite against Hillary and support their Donald. But Trump’s status as the presumptive nominee is a separate issue from the comparisons to Reagan, which seem to be picking up steam. The constant claims of Trump being “another Reagan” must be addressed and must be stopped,...

Good grief, could House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler be any more transparent with his intentions here? Knowing all eyes will be on the Senate impeachment vote at 4:00pm on the same day, Democrat Chairman Nadler schedules the House oversight hearing on FBI (FISA Misconduct) for 10:00am Wednesday, February 5th, to bury it.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings released Friday show that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) paid over half of her campaign’s spendings in the last quarter of 2019 to her alleged boyfriend’s political consulting firm. According to the filings, between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, Omar’s campaign paid a total of $217,000 to the E Street Group LLC for research services, digital advertising, fundraising consulting, travel, and other expenses. The firm belongs to Democratic consultant Tim Mynett, whose wife accused him in a divorce filing in August of having an affair with the congresswoman.

After more than three years of shock, hyperbole, bitter recrimination, political tomfoolery and, most of all, uncertainty, Britain is leaving the European Union today. Now a reality, Brexit feels like nothing so much as the final scene of the classic movie, “The Graduate,” where, after Katherine Ross jilts her fiance at the altar and flees with Dustin Hoffman, the two lovebirds hop on a bus, look around, and are utterly baffled about what to do next.

A common belief among conservatives is that Democrats have blundered in their impeachment trial argumentation, that they've shot themselves in the foot. Perhaps so. But we should remember that their goal cannot, logically, be to win over the Senate so President Trump can be ousted from office before November. It would have to be that they want to win the Senate for Democrats in November.

Constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley delivered a stinging assessment of the Democrats’ rushed impeachment process against President Donald Trump. The George Washington University Law School professor blasted Democrats during an appearance on CBS News for their second article of impeachment charging Trump with obstruction of Congress.

Democratic professors outnumber Republicans by an almost 9 to 1 ratio, a new study has found. The study, published Friday by associate business management professor Mitchell Langbert of Brooklyn College, and Sean Stevens, director of research at Heterodox Academy, reviewed the political registrations of 12,372 college professors and found that 48.4% were registered Democrats and just 5.7 % were Republicans, a ratio of 8.5 to 1.

Last week, liberal media outlets latched onto the latest horrific example of bigoted Christians forcing their morality on everyone else: a Christian school expelling a girl for posting a picture of herself wearing a rainbow sweatshirt and eating a rainbow cake on Facebook. According to the girl's mother, the Christian school rushed to judgment and expelled her daughter, who isn't even gay, over a birthday cake!

I was at the first Women’s March back in 2017, when the ladies wore pink p-ssy hats, and it was the beginning of the end for me. Or at least it was past the halfway point to the end for me. Lots of people were mad about the hats, white feminism, and vagina centrism. Women were getting thrown under the buses we chartered in favor of trans ideology. And that turned me from an enthusiastic marcher to a disillusioned former marcher.

Whether you like it or not, there’s plenty of evidence that the God of the Bible does not sanction same-sex relationships. You may not interpret the Good Book that way. Perhaps you’ve got reasonable theological reasons for it.

NBC NEWS: 'Meet the Press' moderator Chuck Todd joins TODAY to look ahead at what’s to come in Washington in 2020..... (snip) "It's pretty simple campaign strategy, gin up the base and try to scare independents from the Democratic nominee," Todd said. "It doesn't matter who the nominee is," Todd said of the Democratic candidates. "It is a strategy that depends on a middle of the electorate overlooking the president’s personal character and somehow getting him to reelection. I think it' a very uphill battle for him."

Youtube Video, follow the link. This guy says the CA Sec. of State, claims to have no obligation to ensure voters are citizens.

While Trump has continuously blasted the impeachment inquiry, calling it a “one-sided sham process” and blocking his highest-profile officials from testifying before a Democratic-dominated House, the president has also said he would "love" for his administration officials to testify in the Senate. “It will be fair in the Senate,” he said ahead of the first House impeachment hearing.

A simple stone shall take down the giants” – Kim Clemente The rule of law has gone to hell here in America. We have a sitting US Congressman rejecting even the most basic tenants of a trial by focusing his entire case on hearsay, which is not admissible in court. Make no mistake, an Impeachment is a court case and must be tried under rule of law. But Adam Schiff doesn’t care much about that, he’s too busy trying to hide the antics of deep state. Meanwhile, we have Roger Stone standing trial for several different charges all predicated on...

The Leftist propaganda machine is running circles around itself trying to prove that Bevin’s Kentucky loss is the first sign of a Trump Train derailment. As usual, the machine could not be more wrong. First of all, it is important to understand that the movement behind Trump is not actually about Trump and never was. Rather, Trump is a figure and person to whom this ragtag band of Americans known alternatively as the grassroots or Tea Party movement has chosen to support because he represents our frustrations and ideals with the very clearly broken American Republic and way of life;...

The more concrete the testimony in the impeachment inquiry, the more solidly Republicans are sticking with President Donald Trump. Witness after witness in closed-door House hearings is corroborating the core facts that Democrats say make a strong case against the president. Trump pressured Ukraine, an American ally, for an investigation of Joe Biden, his family and the Democrats. At the same time, the Trump administration withheld military assistance for the young democracy as it confronted Russian aggression.

During Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday night, President Donald Trump's campaign launched a seven-figure national ad buy -- a 30-second commercial touting his first-term accomplishments on terrorism, the economy and immigration. But the real key to the ad -- and the bit that you need to pay very close attention to -- comes in the final moments of the commercial, when the narrator says this: "He's no Mr. Nice Guy. But sometimes it takes a Donald Trump to change Washington." Those two sentences are hugely telling when it comes to understanding how Trump (and his campaign) are...

Presidential candidate Tom Steyer gave his most unequivocal backing yet for reparations in a video uploaded over the weekend. "In terms of reparations: I'm for reparations, just so you know," he said in the NowThis News candidate forum video. "Think about this for one sec: 400 years of legalized discrimination and unfairness did the deepest injustice. There's never been an apology. Think—I mean, it's amazing." The comments are a sharper commitment to the policy than remarks he provided in the summer. "And I was saying, look, there's no question that there has been injustice, there's no question that we should...

Former Vice President Joe Biden called President Donald Trump an "idiot" for saying Russian interference in US elections is a hoax, the latest barb between the potential 2020 rivals. The comments from the Democratic presidential candidate came during an interview on CBS' "60 Minutes" in which journalist Norah O'Donnell mentioned Trump's claim that Russian election interference is a "hoax." "He's an idiot -- in terms of saying that. Everybody knows this. Everybody knows it. Nobody doubts it," Biden said. The US intelligence community determined that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to hurt Hillary Clinton and help Trump. Despite that,...
