Most of the media will not change because they don’t care about anything but the Democrat agenda. There was a horrific story out yesterday about violence in Colorado; I saw it on a few shows on Fox News, but it didn’t make ABC nightly news. My guess is it also didn’t make NBC or CBS News. It is not on Yahoo, Drudge Report, or Washington Post as of writing this. The story is that 14 Venezuelan migrant gang members in Aurora, Colorado kidnapped and tortured two other migrants for four hours. They pistol-whipped the man, and even pulled out all...

In the September debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Trump said something so ludicrous that many viewers must have dismissed it out of hand. “She did things that nobody would ever think of,” Trump said, while rattling off a list of some of the vice president’s most radical “Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison.” The idea that the vice president “wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison” seemed so patently absurd that The New Yorker’s Susan Glasser cited it in...

The United States managed to arrest Mexico’s most-wanted drug lord, but Mexican prosecutors — and the president — now say they are considering bringing treason charges against those who handed him over. It’s part of the long, strange trail of Sinaloa cartel leader Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, who unexpectedly appeared on a flight that landed near El Paso, Texas in July. That private plane flight was arranged by another drug capo who decided to turn himself in. U.S. officials say Joaquín Guzmán López — a son of imprisoned cartel leader Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán — flew to the United States...
