NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio was accused in 2019 of improperly ordering his NYPD security detail to shuttle his son to Yale, a charge he denied

Amid the growing unrest in the world, our national security should be a top priority. The dangers from terrorists and nuclear weapons are growing. The Pentagon sits as the vital center of our nation’s defense. It would seem logical that we would need to spend more on our military as threats increase. Under Obama’s administration we saw moderate increases the first few years he was in office. Since then he has stopped pretending and continually cut spending or barely increased it. •Year: 2011—Military Spending: $721,285,000,000 •Year: 2012—Military Spending: $653,424,000,000 •Year: 2013—Military Spending: $633,918,000,000 •Year: 2014—Military Spending: $642,903,000,000 •Year: 2015—Military Spending:...

Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane was convicted Monday of perjury, obstruction and other crimes after squandering her once bright political future on an illegal vendetta against an enemy. Four years after Kane's election in a landslide as the first Democrat and first woman elected attorney general, a jury of six men and six women found her guilty of two counts of perjury and 10 misdemeanor counts of abusing the powers of her office.

The Massachusetts Legislature has approved a new law intended to bypass the Electoral College system, set forth in the Constitution. The system set up in the Constitution, requires that each state's electors, cast votes for the President and Vice President and present those votes to the President of the Senate for a final tally. What fouled this system up was that 48 States passed "winner-take-all " rules, meaning that if candidate X got 51% of the vote in the state, he is awarded all of that states electoral votes. This is why Al Gore lost the election to Bush in...

I like liberals. In fact I count liberals among my best friends. But when they get peeved, liberals can say the darndest things! I’m not bothered by the progressives’ sky-is-falling predictions or the off-key Mother Earth dirges. But when the environmentalists begin to call for disinformation campaigns, criminal prosecutions, and cold-blooded executions, I say, “Hold on a green minute, fella!” Before proceeding, I’ll give credit where credit is due, to Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma who has documented many of the jackboot tactics on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee website. The first tactic of the Climate Greenshirts...

When it comes to fiscal conservatism, George W. Bush failed us. He has angered fiscal conservatives in both parties. I don't spend much time defending Bush's fiscal record because there's really very little worth defending.   But Bush's failure wasn't because he cut taxes. Bush failed because he failed to cut spending.   P.J. O'Rourke defined fiscal conservatism as follows: "To a true fiscal conservative, tax cuts don't matter much, and neither does the national debt. That is because the real problem is spending. Even the best and most necessary public spending comes with a harrowing price: the percentage of...

NOTE: I cannot believe how long it took to do this project. We had no support of a big benefactor. We used our own funds and some small donations. For the record, again, I don't believe she will ever wear an orange jumpsuit. She is truly above the law. Let's hope the civil case of Paul v Clinton and the documentary film can change some minds in time to make a difference. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A SPECIAL SONG FOR HILLARY AWAITS HER ON YOUTUBE History will be made on Monday, Nov. 5, as the first ever documentary film of Hillary Diane Rodham...

Forgive me. But I never read Daily Kos until today. Well, now that I've read it, the first thought that came to me is how illiterate Kos is, just plain illiterate.

Debt crisis may force Labour to sell HQ HAMISH MACDONELL SCOTTISH POLITICAL EDITOR LABOUR is on the verge of selling off its Westminster headquarters in an attempt to head off a financial crisis. Senior party figures are close to agreeing a sale of the party's Old Queen Street building, which could bring in £6 million or more. With the party currently renting office space in Victoria Street, such a move would leave Labour with no real property assets in the capital. But the decision has been forced on Labour because of its huge debts, brought about by expensive election campaigns....
