one of the biggest schemes we’ve tracked is the Deep State’s shadow operations, orchestrated by one of the most influential puppeteers in the Swamp: Norm Eisen. If there’s a major effort to take down President Trump, Eisen is almost always lurking in the background, pulling the strings. Time and time again, he’s played a central role in the left’s biggest hoaxes and political warfare, and yet, most people have no idea who he really is—or just how deep his influence runs. .. The good news is that President Trump just yanked ol’ Norm’s security clearance—a huge win for decency and...

The Deep State is scrambling. As President Trump prepares to take back the White House, their one goal is simple: survival. And part of that “survival plan” is to protect the key players who trampled the law, shredded the Constitution, and turned America into a pseudo-North Korea hellhole—all to destroy Trump and his powerful political movement. One way they’re looking to pull this off is through a series of blanket pardons for the bad guys—people like J6 scam artist Liz Cheney and COVID mastermind Anthony Fauci. Joe Biden kicked off this scheme by pardoning his crooked, crackhead son. And when...

Climate alarmists have reacted to hurricane season with predictable hysteria, seeing in every storm further confirmation of their worst doomsday fears. A case in point is Jan Wondra, writing for Ark Valley Voice, who suggests that Hurricane Helene proves no place on earth is immune from the effects of global warming and may be a harbinger of an impending “climate breakdown.” Wondra even goes so far as to cite the 2004 apocalyptic climate thriller “Day After Tomorrow” to warn readers their direst fears are true and the end is indeed nigh. The “ominous signs are everywhere,” she writes, and even...

Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that she had to kill her dangerous dog, adding that President Joe Biden’s dog “has attacked 24 Secret Service people.” Partial transcript as follows: MARGARET BRENNAN: Okay, so you don’t agree with Mr. Trump’s statement there. I want to ask you again about the book. I- I know you know, this question is coming, because there’s been such an enormous backlash about your revelation that you shot and killed a Wirehair Pointer or named Cricket, who was 14 months old. You say in the book, she came from another...

The #Oj jokes that got Norm fired from #NBC, if only he could of waited it out he'd be having a field day of the #news #Ojsimpson dead at #76

Ultimately, they want to take down red America – duh. This thread from Nate Hochman is very long, very disturbing, and a total must-read. Yeah, we know, the words ‘MUST-READ-thread’ can sound sorta clickbaity but this time around, it’s just us being honest. It’s easy to take a red state for granted because in a red state you can typically make some general assumptions, especially a red state like South Dakota. Except folks, that’s not always the case. Grab a snack, get comfy, and take a gander at this: A powerful, well-funded coalition is working to bring the transgender movement...

Almost five decades into his celebrated, Texas Radio Hall of Fame career, legendary Dallas sports radio host Norm Hitzges is hanging up his microphone. He made the announcement shortly after 10:35 a.m. on Thursday during his "Norm & D Invasion" show that he co-hosts with Donovan Lewis on Sportsradio 1310-AM/97.6-FM The Ticket each weekday from 10 a.m. to noon. His last day on the air will be Friday, June 23. When he turns off his mic that day, it will mark the end of a remarkably storied career. Hitzges has worked 48 years as a sports commentator in North Texas....

My God this guy was funny. When asked about this appearance later, he didn't remember doing it. That makes it even funnier.

Norm Macdonald, the deadpan comedian, actor, writer and “Saturday Night Live” star, has died after a battle with cancer, Variety has confirmed. He was 61.

The recent cave in by Speaker Boehner in funding Obama's amnesty executive order has brought attention to a PAC that calls itself the ''American Action Network'' and claims to be ''center right''. The PAC is headed by moderate liberal former GOP establishment US Senator Norm Coleman and run by a board consisting of close allies of John Boehner and Mitch McConnell. It had been involved in the GOP primary in NC's 7th Congressional District last year, where it ran some particularly nasty and dishonest attack ads against the more conservative primary candidate, former State Senator Woody White. With Boehner's cave...

The Constitutional rights of an entire town were violated Friday, April 19, 2013. The Constitution was put out of order, deactivated by an undeclared state of exception, -- complete with "papers please" searches and seizures and military hardware and weapons all over the streets.

ST. PAUL, Minn.—Former Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman is getting behind Mitt Romney in the GOP presidential race, and gaining a role within the ex-Massachusetts governor's campaign. Romney's campaign announced Wednesday that Coleman would come aboard as a special adviser on policy. Coleman joins former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty as a Romney backer.

Scottsdale, AZ --(Ammoland.com)- We American gun-owners need to become more familiar with the process of “norming.” The “norm” of civilian disarmament already surrounds our country and has the potential to nullify our Second Amendment right. When global firearm-prohibitionists speak about “norming,” they are actually discussing the process wherein society becomes increasingly hostile to the possession of arms in the hands of civilians. This standard, or ‘norm,’ was deliberately created during several decades of lies about the safety and use of firearms, their benefits to society, and the kind of people who possess them. And yet, we gun-owners remain unaware of...

For all the turmoil, the spectacle, the churning — for all the old bulls slain and fuzzy-cheeked freshmen born — the great Republican wave of 2010 is simply a return to the norm. The tide had gone out; the tide came back. A center-right country restores the normal congressional map: a sea of interior red, bordered by blue coasts, and dotted by blue islands of urban density. Or to put it numerically, the Republican wave of 2010 did little more than undo the two-stage Democratic wave of 2006 to 2008, in which the Democrats gained 54 House seats combined (precisely...

Former Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman reportedly is considering a run for chairmanship of the Republican National Committee and has begun talking to associates about taking on Michael Steele should the embattled current chairman seek another term in January. Coleman plans to attend the RNC's summer meeting next month in Kansas City, Mo., in part to be on hand for a tribute to longtime New Jersey Committeeman David Norcross, who is stepping down from his party post. But senior Republicans say Coleman's appearance will allow him to meet the party members who will pick the next chairman and signal to them...

In fact, it took Franken, the DFL-endorsed candidate for the U.S. Senate, roughly 15 seconds before he was taking his first verbal roundhouse at Coleman, the Republican incumbent. In response to a question from an ag journalist about energy independence, Franken said, "Norm Coleman is in the pocket of Big Oil. He's received more contributions from Big Oil than any politician in the history of Minnesota.'' There was a hush in the massive tent at the annual Farmfest, which is being held near Morgan, about 100 miles west of the Twin Cities. One minute, people had been strolling through the...
