I remember a time when Americans would by-and-large support the President regardless of party or person. Even up to Obama, there were many Americans who were deeply disappointed by his election, but were willing to give him a chance in the beginning of his first term. Hillary will NOT be given that chance if she is god-forbid elected. If elected, we the people must make it known that we are being governed against our will. This country is too divided and Clinton is such a criminal, that there is no time or room for any good-will for such a President-elect.

Conservative icon Sarah Palin quipped that paid anti-Trump protesters show presidential candidate Donald Trump is creating jobs even before taking office as she called them out for false accusations at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver, Colorado on Friday. “Like a golden wrecking ball [Trump] shattered walls in the good ol’ boys club. He knocked out the hypocritical intolerance that dare stymie freedom of speech with intimidation and those false accusations of sexism and racism just to stop debate,” said 2008 vice presidential nominee Palin. Alaska’s former governor pointed to the “silly protesters” at Trump rallies as those behind the...

Sarah Palin's family is bringing her plenty of happiness these days. The former Alaska governor gushed about daughter Bristol's recent surprise marriage to Dakota Meyer in an interview with Inside Edition from the set of the newly revamped game show Match Game. "That's the best!" she said. "Bristol and Dakota and their little baby girl Sailor – it's all good."

President Obama and the White House will honor the city of New Orleans as one of their more than 50 experimental projects where the federal government asked local governments to open their doors to mass immigration and refugee dumping. The White House announced today that it would “celebrate the success of the Building Welcoming Communities Campaign,” which asked localities to take on a flood of immigrants and refugees, all while helping them integrate into the area. Integration, as far as immigration lingo is concerned, is far different from assimilation. Integration is simply understood as getting immigrants and refugees signed up...

Against a grim backdrop of rising suicide rates among American women, new research has revealed a blinding shaft of light: One group of women — practicing Catholics — appears to have bucked the national trend toward despair and self-harm. Compared with women who never participated in religious services, women who attended any religious service once a week or more were five times less likely to commit suicide between 1996 and 2010, says a study published Wednesday by JAMA Psychiatry. It’s not clear how widely the findings can be applied to a diverse population of American women. In a study population...

A team from Davis University, California, has designed a processor with 1000* cores, boasting a throughput rate of 1.78 trillion instructions per second and containing 621 million transistors. As opposed to a number of other attempts, some reaching 300 or so processors, the KiloCore chip has been fabricated and run; it was built by IBM (who else) using its 32-nm PD-SOI CMOS technology (what else). The basic architecture used is MIMD (multiple instruction/multiple data) and each of the seven-stage-pipelined cores has a 72-instruction set, single instruction/cycle. None of the instructions is ‘algorithm-specific’ – setting the KiloCore apart from GPU-class devices....

The Republican National Convention opens in Cleveland — we are all witnesses — in exactly 16 days. That means that sometime over the next two weeks or so, we'll find out whom Trump has picked to be his vice-presidential running mate. Trump and his team have said all sorts of things about the timing of the announcement, including sometime soon and in the midst of the convention. Either way, it's coming. And coming soon. Trying to figure out a) whom Trump will pick or b) whom he is consulting in deciding whom to pick is, well, tough. But we do...

The Congressional Black Caucus is calling on its members "to be as disruptive to Speaker Ryan as possible next week" when the House returns for business on Tuesday. The Washington Examiner has obtained a memo sent to Democratic offices that states that CBC members are coordinating a "day of action on the floor in regards to gun violence."

Murray Energy Corp., the largest privately held coal miner in the U.S., has warned that it may soon undertake one of the biggest layoffs in the sector during this time of low energy prices. In a notice sent to workers this week, Murray said it could lay off as many as 4,400 employees, or about 80% of its workforce, because of weak coal markets. The company said it anticipates “massive workforce reductions in September.” The law requires a 60-day waiting period before large layoffs occur.

Luzerne County is one of seven counties in seven battleground states that can be viewed as bellwethers in presidential elections, according to a consulting firm that last month conducted a poll putting Donald Trump ahead by 17 percentage points in the county. The firm, Axiom Strategies, is run by Jeff Roe, who ran Ted Cruz’s Republican presidential campaign. It polled Luzerne County voters June 3 through June 5. The poll found 51 percent supporting Trump, 34 percent backing Democrat Hillary Clinton, 4 percent for Libertarian Gary Johnson, 5 percent for someone else and 6 percent undecided. Wilkes University political science...

PRINCETON, N.J. -- As the nation prepares to celebrate Independence Day, 52% of U.S. adults say they are "extremely proud" to be Americans, a new low in Gallup's 16-year trend. Americans' patriotism spiked after 9/11, peaking at 70% in 2003, but has declined since, including an eight-percentage-point drop in early 2005 and a five-point drop since 2013. Americans' declining patriotism is likely related to broader dissatisfaction with the way things are going in the U.S. In January 2004, when 69% were extremely proud to be an American, 55% of Americans were satisfied with the way things were going in the...

“Interdependence Day” (Galatians 6:1-10, 14-18) On July 4, 1776, the United States of America declared their independence from Great Britain. Ironically, just a few days ago, with its Brexit vote, Britain declared its independence from the European Union. What goes around comes around, I guess. But the point is independence. We don’t like other people, or nations, telling us what to do. “You’re not the boss of me!” we think about others. No, I’m not your boss. In fact, I’m your servant. And you know what? You’re called to be my servant, too. That’s how it works in the church....

July 01, 2016, 10:07 am Poll: 13 percent prefer meteor hitting earth over Clinton, Trump By Jesse Byrnes More than 1 in 10 voters say they'd prefer a giant meteor hitting earth over supporting Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. The left-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) offered the hypothetical "Giant Meteor" option in its latest survey. Forty-three percent picked Clinton, 38 percent picked Trump and 13 percent picked the Giant Meteor hitting earth. Another 7 percent were unsure. The Giant Meteor has support across the ideological spectrum, with 23 percent support among somewhat or very liberal voters, 16 percent among moderate...

Popular myth-busting website Snopes originally gained recognition for being the go-to site for disproving outlandish urban legends -such as the presence of UFOs in Haiti or the existence of human-animal hybrids in the Amazon jungle. Recently, however, the site has tried to pose as a political fact-checker. But Snopes’ “fact-checking” looks more like playing defense for prominent Democrats like Hillary Clinton and it’s political “fact-checker” describes herself as a liberal and has called Republicans “regressive” and afraid of “female agency.” Snopes’ main political fact-checker is a writer named Kim Lacapria. Before writing for Snopes, Lacapria wrote for Inquisitr, a blog...

One of the most controversial figures in British politics says he prefers Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton. George Galloway, the left-leaning politician who left parliament in 2015, wrote on Twitter Tuesday that he shared Susan Sarandon’s sentiments about the U.S. presidential election. The actress and Bernie Sanders supporter last week told The Young Turks that Clinton would be "more dangerous" than Trump as president, because his ideas had no chance of being implemented. “I believe in a way she’s more dangerous, except they’re both talking to Henry Kissinger apparently lately,” Sarandon said. "Her record — I mean, she did not...

On Independence Day, remember and pray for all American patriots, American soldiers, and American heroes who sacrificed their freedoms and gave their lives The American flag has been a symbol of pride, of hope, of freedom, of liberation, of exceptionalism, of courage, of inspiration, of strength, and of power. It pains me to see anti-American elements, the enemies of freedom, Islamists, communists, and other traitors burn it, trample it, tear it, trash it, and do unspeakable things to it. Our Stars and Stripes must be properly folded, stored, and disposed of. Yet the Rhode Island Veterans cemetery where Stan Sniezyk’s...

Editor’s Note: Conservatives know they are under assault. What many may not know (because the media hasn’t told them) is that they are the targets of a coordinated, well-honed campaign by the left to push conservatives entirely out of the political debate. The Intimidation Game is the first real telling of what happened at the IRS—how elected Democrats used that agency to muzzle tens of thousands of Tea Party members during two elections. It's the real story of how a liberal Wisconsin prosecutor used secret subpoenas and predawn raids to silence 30 conservative grassroots organizations in that state. It's the...

Podcaster and blogger Sonnie Johnson was having a pretty good time with this year’s BET Awards until Jesse Williams took the stage, as she told SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon on Friday’s Breitbart News Daily.“He gives this speech, a Black Lives Matter speech, and I wrote a responding article on Breitbart.com, entitled ‘OK, Do You Want to Talk About Freedom Now?’” Johnson said. (The current title of the article was expanded to include both Johnson and Williams’ names; it may be read here.) As Johnson pointed out, Jesse Williams has “a white mother and a black father – and that...

An ex-Navy SEAL who is running for governor in Missouri came up with a novel idea to get the word out about his campaign. Eric Greitens is selling "ISIS hunting permits" in an effort to raise money. The bumper sticker says that the permit expires "when we defeat this evil."Those who fork over $100 will get a sticker signed by Rob O'Neill, the former SEAL who fired the shots that killed Usama bin Laden. The combat veteran served four tours of duty, including in Iraq and Afghanistan. He received the Combat Action Ribbon, the Purple Heart, and the Bronze...
