week.They are muddling the sequence of events that got us to the present impasse: Trump ran against the corrupt back-scratching, log-rolling society of the OBushintons—the Clinton pay-to-play schemes, the Biden sales of influence and access, the semi-disguised socialist racism elitism of the Obamas, and the flabby sameness and ineffectuality of the Bush–McCain–Romney–McConnell–Ryan Republicans. Trump sensed the people were dissatisfied with the bipartisan Swamp, and he ran as strenuously against the Bushes and McCain and Romney in 2016 as he did against the Clintons and Obamas. The anti-Trumpers of both parties, in the most legally questionable presidential election in U.S. history,...

TheHill.com House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said “the country is in danger of imploding” while weighing in on the Buffalo, N.Y., shooting and the mood of Black voters in a wide-ranging interview published Friday. “It’s just a mystery to me that we’ve become so tolerable of these kinds of incidents,” Clyburn told The Washington Post in an interview published in its Early 202 newsletter, referring to last weekend’s shooting in a predominantly Black neighborhood that left 10 people dead and three injured.

The conservative majority on the Supreme Court is potentially poised to take down one of the nation’s oldest and most restrictive gun-control laws this summer. New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen will be the court’s first major Second Amendment case in more than a decade and happens to be coming amid rising national gun violence and an uptick in gun sales in recent years. What the justices decide could unravel laws across the nation restricting who can carry guns in public. Here’s what’s happening. The case: Can New York place severe restrictions on who can carry a...

Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) on Monday called on Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to schedule a vote on a domestic terrorism bill this week after a gunman opened fire at a grocery store in Buffalo, N.Y., killing 10 people in what authorities are calling a hate crime. In a statement on Monday, Schneider pushed for a vote on the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, which calls for creating domestic terrorism offices in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI that would watch for and examine domestic terrorist activity. Schneider specifically referenced several recent shootings around the country....

“He was definitely into video games - shooter games,” a classmate observed about the Buffalo grocery-store mass murderer. A British tabloid reported this truth about the tragic massacre, while liberal American media hid this crucial detail from their one-sided accounts. Classmates confirm his devotion to online streaming video games, but internet trolls quickly shouted down anyone suggesting this link. Even a black former lineman for the Green Bay Packers was forced to delete a tweet pointing out the obvious similarity between what happened in Buffalo and the shooter video games. In a rare split a decade ago between Supreme Court...

American Voters: "We're concerned about the prices of milk, eggs, baby formula, and gas." U.S. Government: "So you're saying we should spend tens of billions more on a proxy war against Russia and ban oil and natural gas drilling here at home?" American Voters: "No, listen: inflation is making it impossible to afford groceries. Our businesses are dying." U.S. Government: "You want us to talk more about transgenderism and the legacies of slavery? Maybe throw in some free sexual grooming advice for your children?" American Voters: "Pay attention! We'll talk slowly for the remedial learners in Congress. In every way...

This Tuesday voters have decisions to make in the Republican Primaries. Will it be Madison Cawthorn or President Xi in North Carolina? Will it be Kathy Barnette or Globalism in Pennsylvania? Will it be Doug Mastriano or the RINO Establishment here in the Keystone State? Will it be MAGA Janice McGeachin or the China First Republican Governor Brad Little in Idaho? If there isn't unity behind one candidate in the crowded GOP Primary fields the China First Republicans win. In Idaho Glenn Beck for example gave a lot of attention to Ed Humphreys alongside McGeachin. A split vote leaves Little...

Residents of rural Conklin, New York were stunned Saturday by the news the gunman accused in the Buffalo supermarket attack was a teenager who lived in their town. Payton Gendron, 18, allegedly drove his parents’ car over 200 miles from Conklin to Buffalo Saturday to massacre 10 people in a racially motivated mass shooting he live-streamed on Twitch. Conklin is a sleepy community of about 5,000 people on the Susquehanna River just north of the Pennsylvania border in Broome County and 10 miles south of Binghamton. The population is 95.7 percent white, according to Census estimates. Photos from the shooter...

I'm baffled by men, particularly white men, who enthusiastically support the most extreme politicians from the unhinged Democrat Party.Is there any platform that this party offers that actually benefits white men? Or are Democrat-supporting white men just sadomasochists? A severe case of cognitive dissonance?

A critical responsibility of our nation’s Commander in Chief is to uphold the constitutional rights of all citizens, regardless of age, race, socioeconomic status or background. This includes protecting our natural born right to self-defense guaranteed under the Second Amendment. Unfortunately for Americans today, resident Biden is proposing more failed policies at the expense of Americans’ right to protect themselves and their families. His recent unveiling of a new regulation aimed at so-called “ghost guns” coupled with his nomination of anti-gun politician Steve Dettelbach as the next director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), are the latest...

Constant conflict is actually often good politics, because the more you can inflame your supporters, the more likely they are to show up at Election Day," Clinton told the National Community Pharmacists Association convention Orlando, Fla., on Monday, CNN reported. "And if they're more inflamed than the other side, even if the other side has more people agreeing with it, you'll win because your crowd will show up."

Violence is on the rise across this country. Murder rates are up dramatically during the pandemic. Most people associate gun violence and rising murder rates with urban areas that are disproportionately African American or Latino. But violence is not color-coded. If it were, the war between Russia and Ukraine would be labeled white violence.

Alec Baldwin has decided it’s a good idea for him to weigh in on the Second Amendment in America Baldwin has been accused of allegedly shooting and killing Halyna Hutchins in a tragic event while filming the movie “Rust.” The weapon the actor was holding was loaded with live ammo and the subsequent shot killed the young woman. Despite the fact you’d think he would never want to publicly discuss weapons given the situation he’s in, it turns out he doesn’t mind calling for gun control for other people! a Friday morning Instagram post, Baldwin wrote, “The very childhoods of...

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the Biden administration's oilest, slipperiest, most mendacious cabinet member, was put through the congressional wringer Wednesday and Thursday, over his "turnstyle" border policies as he well should have been. He put on the same bee ess show in a hearing before Congress, apparently to seek a bigger budget, handing out the usual tropes that have followed from his earlier claims that there is no crisis at the border: The border is under "operational control." He's just doing what the law tells him. He's not dumping unvetted illegals from 157 nations throughout the country in the...

Violent crimes like murders have plagued the U.S. over the last two years, and many experts blame the fallout from the pandemic and 2020’s summer of protests and riots following the death of George Floyd. The New York Times recently argued that 2020’s skyrocketing increase in legal gun purchases has also contributed to the spikes, an explanation experts are pouring cold water on. "First off, let's go back 30 years," the Heritage Foundation’s Charles Stimson told Fox News Digital in a phone interview this month. "For the last 27, 29 years, our country has had a dramatic decrease in violent...

Cook County prosecutors rejected felony charges against a man who allegedly admitted he was involved in a Near North Side shootout in which dozens of shots were fired Sunday evening. Anthony D. Newman, 20, of Old Town, was charged only with a misdemeanor for having a gun without a valid FOID card, Cook County court records show.

Oh, dear. Self-proclaimed leftist darling, David Hogg, has taken issue with the inefficient & expensive processes generated by … Leftist policies? He’s starting to sound a bit like a capitalist, doesn’t he know his social media leftist goon reputation is on the line? Sure, there was the failed pillow venture, but that could be waived off as an opportunist’s stab at opposing right-wing wacko and Trump supporter, Mike Lindell. Never mind that imitation is a form of flattery. Sorry, it didn’t take off Davey.
