President Trump’s Mount Rushmore speech on July 3 included these noteworthy lines: "There is now a resurgence of the communist menace in our land, including from newcomers to our country who embrace ideas totally opposed to our way of life and our great success. These are not mere political disagreements like differences over taxes or regulations. Communism is a mortal threat to American liberty. "It is the greatest threat to our country, including World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or even 9/11. Uh, we’re not gonna let this happen to us. Believe me, we’re not letting it happen....

The House Oversight Committee released some Jeffrey Epstein emails this morning, and, sure enough, Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files. Like a malignant ghost that haunts the President’s dreams, Epstein has risen from the great beyond to point his bony finger at Donald Trump, saying, “it was you all along.” Or has he? In an April 2, 2011 message to his associate and fixer Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein wrote “i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.” Then, the word VICTIM appears in a black box, followed by “he has never once been mentioned. police...

Adam Schiff: "If the cashier in South San Francisco at 10 o'clock at night believes that Democrats are a---h---s because the shampoo was locked up and my stuff got stolen out of the trunk, we've got a major problem that we have to address."

I've been following the YouTube reactions to Sound of Freedom. A week ago or so, the YouTube videos and reactions were endless. Now it seems like almost all of the videos referring to it are older than a week old. This is odd as there have been so many interviews with Cavezial and Ballard. Here's what comes up in a YouTube search when I search by most recent upload date: Song of the Dragon and Freedom/Light Guiding Ceremony/Prologue:Act 3 1 view 7 hours ago De Libertate: Sounds of Freedom and Hope from Ukraine [updated] 17 views 8 hours ago Concerning...

Because Empirically That Makes You Susceptible To Being A Republican."It in turn touted a study by a social work master’s student at Southern Connecticut State University purporting to find that there exists "a direct link between mental illness and support for President Bush."And how does the study's author explain the results? “If your world is very mixed up, there’s something...

LOS ANGELES — A new study by Harvard University and the National Institute of Mental Health (search) claims that 46 percent of all Americans will, at some point in their lives, develop a mental disorder.

Last week, I wrote a column about Jose Padilla, AKA the "dirty bomber." In order to avoid repeating myself, let me give short-shrift to my argument and sum up as briefly as possible. I argued then, and believe now, that the U.S. government has the right and, in this case, the obligation to run roughshod over many of Padilla's rights. Padilla is an enemy combatant.
