    White farmers are being murdered and thrown off their land in massive numbers at the behest of their government. There is mass starvation in Venezuela. People have to eat their cats and dogs just to stay alive. In Myannmar, they're murdering Christians. They're also mass murdering Christians in India, as well as Sikhs, Muslims, Dalits, Assamese, Bodos, Manipuris, Dalits, and others. China is rounding up Muslims and forcing them into concentration camps, where they disappear, reminiscent of the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews. They're also burning down churches and persecuting Christians. They previously expelled the Buddhists from Tibet. And throughout...

    The limousine that was set on fire by social justice warriors during the inauguration is owned by a Muslim immigrant. The driver was hospitalized. I hope the scumbags who did this will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.The driver was sent to the hospital. I guess when these thugs smash windows and set things on fire, it never occurs to them that their damage of property might also cause damage to people. Or maybe it did occur to them, and they just didn’t care. Or maybe it did occur to them, and they actually thought it would be...
  • Rand Paul reveals the real reason why Trump should have revoked John Brennan’s security clearance

    The Blaze ^ | August 18, 2018 | Chris Enloe
    Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) suggested last month that President Donald Trump revoke the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan over his potential to profit from his privilege despite no longer holding an official government position. Trump agreed, and revoked Brennan’s clearance on Wednesday, more than a month after Paul’s suggestion. And while officially Trump acted because Brennan used his status “to make a series of unfounded and outrageous allegations” and “wild outbursts” about the Trump administration, Paul explained on Fox News Thursday that Brennan’s clearance should have been revoked for “cause” — if that wasn’t the reason, at...

    Below is an encoded quote from one of our favorite great Americans. The code is a simple, all capital, letter substitution - like the Cryptoquote in the newspaper. No numbers are used. It's the result of a JAVA program I wrote, and I'll be happy to do more if there's an interest. If you need a hint, I'll post one.

    The Danger of Hitler Comparisons: Part 2 By Philip CottrauxClick here to read part 1. After I wrote about why it’s dangerous to compare your political enemies to Hitler (which is an epidemic right now), I thought I was done with the subject. In fact, last week I moved on to something else. But I started thinking more about it and realized that I still have much to say. While the first blog was about why it’s both dangerous and intellectually lazy to categorize a politician you didn’t vote for as “the next Hitler,” this week I want to explore...

    Trying to figure out the real reason Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez bans reporters from her town hall events The New York Times reports that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has banned the media from two of her town hall meetings.Ocasio-Cortez tweeted the following explanation for the ban:“Our community is 50% immigrant. Folks are victims of DV, trafficking, + have personal medical issues.” “This town hall was designed for residents to feel safe discussing sensitive issues in a threatening political time.” “We indicated previously that it would be closed to press.”Ben Jacobs, a reporter for The Guardian, responded with the following tweet:“And how does the presence of...

    The case that Bob Mueller has brought against Paul Manafort has nothing to do with Donald Trump or the 2016 election. It is irrelevant to any significant political issue. But Democrats worry that Mueller’s prosecution of Manafort for years-ago tax evasion may fail, thereby making a laughingstock of the special counsel investigation in which they have invested so much. What happens when Democrats are afraid they may lose a political battle? Things get nasty. Politico reports on the latest, shocking developments in the Manafort trial: Paul Manafort’s trial will stretch into a fourth week, as jurors headed home Friday without...

    Even with google, it’s hard to find examples of assaults on reporters by right wing protesters I just did the following two google searches. The first search was for reporters assaulted by left wing protesters. The second search was for reporters assaulted by right wing protesters. The only difference between the two searches was whether I used the word “left” or “right.”Here’s the link for the first search:https://www.google.com/search?num=50&biw=1600&bih=763&ei=VVd3W5uAGoeZwgSj46uQAQ&q=reporters+assaulted+by+left+wing+protesters&oq=reporters+assaulted+by+left+wing+protesters&gs_l=psy-ab.3…53848.55548.0.55651.9.9.0.0.0.0.93.670.9.9.0….0…1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.3.214…33i10k1j35i39k1.0.AUi-zi8SIoMAnd here’s the screen capture for the first search.

    Nothing is quite as traumatic as hearing about innocent children being neglected, abused, or exploited. That’s exactly what makes sharing this update with all of you so hard for our writers here at United Voice. Authorities in Amalia, New Mexico, have removed 11 children ranging in age from just 5 to as old as 15 from what they believe was a clandestine and extremely dilapidated extremist Muslim compound run by 39-year-old Siraj Ibn Wahhaj. • Local police forces were alerted to the compound after an unknown source phoned in a tip stating that people were “starving to death” inside. Upon...

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez falsely says “that upper-middle class does not exist anymore in America” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said:“They [national Democrats] were campaigning most when we had more of an American middle class. This upper-middle class is probably more moderate but that upper-middle class does not exist anymore in America.”The Washington Post responded with the following:“… the upper-middle class has actually grown. In a 2016 paper published by the Urban Institute, Stephen J. Rose documented that the upper-middle class has grown substantially, from 12.9 percent of the population in 1979 to 29.4 percent in 2014.”The same Washington Post article also included this chart:...

    Let's get something straight: Antifa is the fascist arm of the Democratic Party. If you want to know where the party is headed, look where its youths are. Antifa speaks for all Democrats when it chants, “No border, no wall, no USA at all!” Think not? People in the 1970s blew off the Weather Underground as radicals who had nothing to do with the party. But whom did Democrats nominate in 2008? And who was his political mentor? And who was his religious mentor? And who was the communist he put in charge of the CIA? This was no accident...

    Let’s follow the trail...... Here's what it looks like when all the pieces are sewn together. It smells like conspiracy and treason. Everyone needs to read this. Slowly, and patiently, because it’s very important...... From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation. A Grand Jury had been empanelled. Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”. Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared. Hmmm, now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out. Guess who took over this investigation...

    After Ben Shapiro invited Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to appear on his show for a discussion, she falsely equated his invitation with “catcalling” Conservative Ben Shapiro said he would give $10,000 to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign or favorite charity if she appeared on his show for a discussion.She responded with the following tweet:“Just like catcalling, I don’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions. And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one.”Shapiro responded to that by saying, among other things:“Have you met me? Have you seen me? Do I seem like the kind of guy...

    Trump is going to win in a landslide... So he should announce he is running on the Libertarian Ticket in 2020. Get all his supporters to switch to Libertarian the next day. Relegate the eGOP to third-party status overnight. They are just a bunch of feckless wiener-heads anyway, and part of the swamp-dweller class.
