I recently came upon an excellent montage that undeniably lays bare the scam-in-a-suit that is Sean Hannity. The first half of the clip shows Hannity shilling at the top of his lungs on Fox News for the PATRIOT Act/NSA surveillance in the post-9/11 panic that included, among many other Orwellian provisions, wiretapping of U.S. citizens with no probable cause as required by the Constitution. The second half shows Hannity turning on a dime once Obama is in office, suddenly developing a deeply-held belief in 4th Amendment protections: “As law-abiding U.S. citizens, you have a right to privacy.” (I recognize and...

Since Rush's passing I have found it very hard to find a substitute to listen to. Rush is irreplaceable but searching the Internet I have come across some people that I look forward to watching every time they post something. The most popular one I have found is Mark Dice. He has some really cutting humor much as Rush was capable of delivering on a daily basis. He has some great insights as well. The sleeper that I have found is Brittany Hughes on MRC-TV. She is brilliant. She is the mother of two and the wife of a soldier....

Universal theories can have a certain tidy attraction. In science, they can result in revolutionary breakthroughs — Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity comes to mind. In the messy realm of human affairs, however, universal theories have a tendency to fall apart. Ruy Teixeira, of the leftist Center for American Progress, provides a textbook example of a brilliant man developing a theory for determining the course of politics in America. In the 2002 book, The Emerging Democratic Majority, Teixeira and coauthor John Judis asserted their theory that minority voters who prefer Democrats grow as a share of the electorate by 2...

The other matchup that jumps out at me is the possibility of Jennifer Rubin matching up with her Washington Post teammate Max Boot with the Final Four on the line.This is a parody. This is not meant to reflect any beliefs or statements of ESPN or the personalities named in this parody, nor any of the actual mannerisms of such people. Scott Van Pelt: So one of the most eagerly awaited moments of the 2020 election year has finally arrived. The selection committee revealed its brackets for the Comfortably Smug #LiberalHack tournament, sponsored as always by the private equity firm...

Well, the American voters know that the spoken words of prediction from the American media, pollsters and pundits ain't really worth a plug nickel, these days, at best. Shucks, maybe we should begin judging the outcome of elections by sizing up and rating the political rallies that abound across the entire country. Common sense would reveal that if we measured the attendance & performance at Republican Political Rallies against the Democrat Political Rallies, we could come up with what the future will hold or deliver to we, the American people. Nah...we can't do that, The Trump political rallies are massive...

Listening to the TV Media CNN, MSNBC, FNC & FBN, this morning is really something to behold. None of them, and I mean not a one, has a clue as what will go down, tomorrow, Tuesday, Mid-Term Election Day, November 6, 2018. They are all hedging their bets. Boy....they all were so smug and sure of themselves in 2016. Now they are all playing the CYA game to the hilt!!! Sickening sites, predictions and words from all of them!!! So, Mr & Mrs & Ms, American voter, you are all on your own, because your thoughts, facts and ideas as...

The iconic political panel show, "The McLaughlin Group" is set to return to the airwaves on Jan. 7, according to an announcement by Washington, D.C., ABC affiliate WJLA. Tom Rogan, a mentee of the late legendary host John McLaughlin, will be taking over as moderator. Longtime panelists Eleanor Clift, Pat Buchanan and Clarence Page will also be returning to the program. "Rogan, in his early 30s, has been working in Washington DC as a respected political journalist and national TV commentator, and is not shy about expressing his opinions on major issues of the day," according to the WJLA announcement....

Massive unchecked democrat party voter fraud, false, inaccurate political poll numbers, pundits, reporters, commentators, who rant & spew endless lies, and deceptive politics, from the Democrat and Republican Establishment, and the mainstream media. America haters on the loose. Solution, politically destroy the Democrat and Republican Establishments in the upcoming Mid-Term elections of 2018. Support POTUS, Donald J. Trump and MAGA!!! It is as simple as that.

The basic formula for every breaking Trump/Russia story is essentially as follows: 1. The New York Times or Washington Post releases an article that at first blush appears extremely damning. 2. Anti-Trump pundits and Democrats react reflexively to the news, express shrieking outrage, and proclaim that this finally proves untoward collusion between Trump and Russia — a smoking gun, at last. 3. Aggrieved former Clinton apparatchiks *connect the dots* in a manner eerily reminiscent of right-wing Glenn Beck-esque prognostication circa 2009. 4. Self-proclaimed legal experts rashly opine as to whether the new revelation entails some kind of criminally actionable offense. (Recall the...

The media and you, the disconnect we experience that confuses the speaker and dumbfounds the listener.

This is just sad. The impact of Trump Trauma keeps getting worse. Now journalists who I respect are so desperate to stop the president-elect at all costs that they are putting their prestige behind a fringe movement. I wasn’t going to write about the cockamamie scheme to get the members of the Electoral College to deny Donald Trump the victory he won at the polls. The vote, which takes place Monday, is nothing but a technicality, with the electors expected to support the candidate who carried their state. Sometimes one or two cast a protest vote, but that’s it. But...

Leftists have reminded the world just how much they hated Phyllis Schlafly. As news of the conservative author and activist’s death spread, Twitter was deluged with tweets celebrating her death. While most of the tweets were from ordinary members of the public, many others came from columnists and commentators. Here’s Jeb Lund, a columnist for The Guardian.

All in attendance for a dinner meeting with president Obama before he took office. The post-meeting/dinner report in The New Yorker Magazine holds the following quotes told by the glowing participants of their time with President Obama: Richard Lowry:“the only presidential candidate from either party about whom there is a palpable excitement”. Charles Krauthammer: “Obama would be a president with the political intelligence of a Bill Clinton harnessed to the steely self-discipline of a Vladimir Putin”, who would “bestride the political stage as largely as did Reagan.” Bill Kristol:“I look forward to Obama’s inauguration with a surprising degree of hope...

Long before Donald Trump descended the grand escalator at Trump Tower to declare his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination last June, conservative pundits and nonpartisan clairvoyants alike had laughed off the possibility of the real-estate mogul turned reality TV star ascending to the party’s pinnacle, joining the ranks of Ronald Reagan, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. (And, to be fair, Mitt Romney, Alf Landon and John C. Frémont.) And for months, as Trump gained droves of followers and delegates, their laughter continued. They’re not laughing Wednesday. Hours after Trump routed his rivals in Indiana and all...

I watched The Trump rallies yesterday held in various cities & towns in Wisconsin, and get the feeling the average Joe and Jane primary voter are really upset and ticked off at the Media, the Pundits, the GOP (E), Ted Cruz, John Kasich, The DEmocrat Party Establishment, etc. and are about to send a "backlash" message to all these folks...that they have gone over the cliff in their hate and envy of Donald J. Trump. I shall follow events today and tomorrow as Trump, etc. continues his pro-active trek through the great state of Wisconsin, seeking its primary victory or...

The political class and pundits have been predicting Trump's political demise since his now-infamous speech launching his presidential bid last June, when his description of illegal immigrants as rapists and other criminals provoked a media backlash. Trump has been embroiled in controversy at seemingly every turn since. He has thoroughly confounded the pundits, who have declared numerous times that Trump had crossed some line that would be the final straw for Republican primary voters. Instead, Trump's blunt message of American exceptionalism and his distance from the political establishment continue to strike a chord with grassroots conservatives, who are fed up...

"I've resisted the idea that Donald Trump could and would become the Republican nominee," writes GOP strategist Alex Castellanos in an email assessment of the presidential race. "Unhappily, I've changed my mind." Castellanos, who once said flatly that "Trump is not going to be the nominee," writes "the odds of Trump's success have increased and been validated in the past few weeks."

After finally surrendering to the reality that Donald Trump is the certifiable leader in the GOP race for president, the "inside the bubble" D.C. pundits have moved on to his inability to win a November 2016 election against Hillary Clinton or some other Democrat. At first blush that seems a reasonable view. After all, the polling they rely on shows Trump with higher negatives than many of the other candidates in the Republican race. "He's too polarizing," say the experts. The conventional wisdom among most of the D.C. elite is that a Trump nomination would be disaster for a Republican...

Here’s another follow-up to my article about Jim Hoft’s dishonest tactics in promoting his bogus claim that officer Darren Wilson suffered a fractured eye socket in a purported struggle with teenager Michael Brown. As I pointed out in the earlier piece, Hoft posted a stock image of a CT scan of a fractured eye socket, but apparently erased the words “UNIV OF IOWA” from his copy of the image. Well, thanks to LGF readers @franklinftw and @loveheylola, I can now remove the word “apparently” from that description, because we have proof that Hoft (or someone who works with him) did...
