President Joe Biden on Monday lectured Americans about gun control after Hunter Biden admitted to firearm safety malpractice. “The Constitution, the Second Amendment was never absolute. You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed,” Biden said. “I think things have gotten so bad that everybody is getting more rational about it.”

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi lectured American Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a phone call Monday for the allegedly “hasty” American withdrawal from Afghanistan and warned him not to seek help from Beijing on the issue while working to “contain and suppress China.” Wang’s alleged comments surfaced in the Global Times, a Chinese regime media outlet, and contrasted significantly to the brief description of the conversation published by the U.S. State Department. “Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke today with PRC [China] State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi about developments in Afghanistan,” the State Department noted on...

President Trump should not be expected to “cheerfully, immediately” accept the outcome of the contested 2020 race and is “100 percent within his rights” to challenge the results, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a speech from the Senate floor on Monday. In his first remarks since Joe Biden was called the winner of the presidential election based on projections, McConnell defended Trump’s use of litigation to challenge vote counts in various states and blasted Democrats like Hillary Clinton for claiming Trump would try to steal the election.

That didn’t take long. White House spokesman Sean Spicer held his first official White House press conference today in Washington DC.   This was also the first working day of the Donald J. Trump administration.   The liberal media came out of the gates swinging and attacking the Trump team — on their first day of business.   Trump met with business leaders this morning. Trump met with union leaders. Trump has already saved and added 1.3 million jobs to the US economy before he came into office.   Despite this wonderful news the liberal media went on the...

Vladamir Putin lectured Obama this weekend on Islamist extremism during their phone conversation on the Boston Marathon bombings. Russia warned the US back in 2011 that bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a follower of radical Islam. CSM via Yahoo reported: The revelation that the main suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings were two Russian citizens of half-Chechen, half-Avar (Dagestani) ethnicity, has prompted Kremlin leaders to dust off a longstanding argument that the US should listen to Moscow’s warnings about extreme Islamist terrorists, whether they hail from Chechnya, or Syria, or anywhere else. The Russians say the US should turn away from...

In a White House appearance before reporters ahead of his meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Obama President reaffirmed U.S. commitment to the key Mideast ally, saying that America's would "always have Israel's back" and that the U.S.-Israeli bond is "unbreakable." Netanyahu, while appreciative of the president's comments, reminded Obama of a few things. "When Americans look at the Middle East, they know there is one reliable, stable and faithful ally to the United States and that is the democracy of Israel," he said. Iran, Netanyahu stressed, knows this and that Israel must be allowed to make its own...

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu lectured President Barack Obama in his own office, warning him not to chase "illusions" of Middle East peace and opening a deep rift in US-Israel ties. In a dramatic Oval Office appearance on Friday, after 90 minutes of talks, Prime Minister Netanyahu emphatically vowed Israel would never return to its 1967 borders and laid down a set of non-negotiable conditions for peace talks. The exchange, which left hopes for Obama's peace drive more remote than ever, came a day after the US president called on Israel to accept a return to territorial lines...

the well-known Imam of Munich’s Darul Quran mosque is in jail for beating one of his wives severely, in fact so bad that she sustained several broken bones. A police spokesman confirmed a report from the Bavarian broadcast (BR) on Tuesday evening in Munich.... the Islamic clergyman, who preaches publicly again and again against domestic violence and against jihad, was considered a gladly seen guest with the integration/multiculti-interfaith- rounds organized by well known social engineers . One week before his arrest he held a speech at the Catholic University Municipality of Munich.

Sheikh Abu Adam, 40, is now on remand in Munich while his wife, 31, is being guarded by police. She was allegedly assaulted so badly that she suffered a broken nose and shoulder and numerous cuts and bruises.Media reports claimed the woman, who has borne one of his ten children, wanted to live a more 'western' lifestyle and was allegedly attacked after telling her husband.

Does anybody remember back when psuedo-President Obama was on one of the first of his now-several-dozen educational info-deception speech tours touting the $780-Billion "Stimulus" package? This is the one that followed the TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) deception. Though I make a concerted point to never visit this "lies-as-disinformation" site, Wikipedia's description of TARP actually starts much as did the description we were being sold at its inception: "The Troubled Asset Relief Program, commonly referred to as TARP or RCP, is a program of the United States government to purchase assets and equity from financial institutions to strengthen its financial...

US Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) sent a letter to President Barack Obama last week criticizing the latter for his administration's heavy pressure on Israel to be the facilitator of the Middle East peace process. Reid noted that Israel has already met many of its peace obligations, while the Palestinians after 15 years have not fulfilled even their most basic commitments, namely to recognize the Jewish state's right to exist and eliminate the threat of anti-Israel Palestinian terrorism.

Outed CIA officer Valerie Plame has canceled her April 11 visit to the University of Florida. Plame, whose identity was revealed in a 2003 syndicated column by Robert Novak, canceled because she's still sorting out legal issues related to her upcoming book, according to Accent, the student-run speakers bureau that invited Plame. "She's pretty much still testifying in front of Congress and trying to resolve some legal issues with her book," said Andrew Brown, chairman of Accent. Plame testified before Congress early this month, and the scope of the testimony was heavily vetted in advance by CIA officials to ensure...

Liberal college students have once again illustrated their never-ending quest for tolerance and their vast ability to think critically about ideas in opposition to their own. Yes, I’m talking about yet another pie-throwing incident involving a conservative speaker on a college campus. The latest chapter in this pathetic story took place at Butler University on Wednesday, April 6. Conservative activist and President of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture David Horowitz was early in his lecture at Butler when he was struck with a pie. “There’s a wave of violence on college campuses, committed by what I’d call...

Nowthat the convetions are over, now that both candidates are out in "battleground" states, it is critical that we do not get over-confident in the commanding lead from our commander in cheif. I, like most of you are as bumped as I have ever been, but I am forcing myself to think of Bush as 10 POINTS DOWN! I am calling on all of you to take this stand and to work as hard as we possibly can to make sure that we close the deal on election day. On the day after the election, when we have "come back"...

After Serving Time, Executives Now Serve Up Advice By CHRISTOPHER S. STEWART Published: June 1, 2004 Corporate executives facing trials for misdeeds at work are grappling with the possibility of a long stretch in prison. But they can take comfort in the fact that business is booming for a few executives-turned-felons who have turned their stories into topics on the lecture circuit. From a former finance executive to a lawyer who specialized in civil litigation, some white-collar criminals are getting paid several thousand dollars to talk about their crimes to business schools, professional associations and corporations. "It's a powerful message,"...

Another episode of the CBS sit-com Becker, which stars the liberal Ted Danson playing a doctor in a one-man practice in New York City, airs tonight on CBS. In last week's episode, upset by the closing of a "residential life" home for the mentally- challenged, "Becker" went to see the city's Deputy Director of Social Services, who launched into a lengthy rant about the evils of how tax cuts have reduced the amount of money available to government and will lead to "crappy schools which will turn out yet another generation of voters who are too stupid and greedy to...
