The private jet ownership is despite his efforts to campaign against climate change in his songs. With song lyrics that include: "[They’re] talkin’ bout how the weather’s changing / the ice is melting / like the world is ending," you would think he would try to live a low carbon lifestyle, but alas. Drake has gotten himself a gigantic plane. – Via Daily Caller – The superstar rapper showed off his plane, called “Air Drake,” on Instagram Friday, and it’s downright absurd. The interior is absolutely massive, and he points out that it’s not a “timeshare” or “rental.” It’s just...

The Acting Secretary of Defense has approved the movement of USS Arlington (LPD-24) and a Patriot battery to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) as part of the command’s original request for forces from earlier this week. These assets will join the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a U.S. Air Force bomber task force in the Middle East region in response to indications of heightened Iranian readiness to conduct offensive operations against U.S. forces and our interests. The Department of Defense continues to closely monitor the activities of the Iranian regime, their military and proxies. Due to operational security, we...

This will be a weekly post. Count is now 104 judges confirmed. 63 District Court judges 39 Circuit Court judges 2 Supreme Court justices The two judges confirmed were for the 2nd circuit, the New York circuit!! There will be two more vacancies after June as two judges take senior status. If Trump fills these seats the 2nd circuit will flip to majority Republican appointees! Have you noticed better rulings from the 9th circuit lately? This is due to Trump appointees. And there are currently three more nominees pending in the Senate (two on the floor, one in committee). And...

“One of my idols!…I can’t tell you how enormously inspiring you (lifelong Stalinist Angela Davis) have been to me throughout my life…We collectively must make sure that we are dismantling all systems of oppression…we’re the party of love, the party of compassion.” (Ilhan Omar expressing her lifelong adoration for Angela Davis, lifelong devotee of a system that conquered, enslaved, tortured and murdered many more human beings than Hitler’s Nazis.)“It is about time that we stepped up to defend those who represent our political vision (i.e. Ilhan Omar) on the front lines of struggle. I feel particularly motivated to join this amazing group.”...

For more than two years, the Democrats have used every dirty trick possible to take down President Trump — but their desperate all-out obstruction campaign has only managed to strengthen his support.Based on these results, perhaps the Democrats should continue to just be themselves.According to a new Gallup poll, President Trump’s approval rating just hit an all-time high of 46 percent, even higher than President Obama’s approval at the same point in his presidency.While the success of Trump’s America First policy agenda has undoubtedly played a major role in strengthening his support, the juvenile antics of congressional Democrats have...

Over the past week, two events occurred involving my kids that made me realize that America is failing our children. We are raising what might be the most closedminded and indoctrinated generation ever to grow up in this country. If we cannot course-correct and start teaching our kids to be open-minded, get informed and always be civil to those they oppose, then the current civic war rifling through our politics and social media lives will only grow worse as this generation comes to power. Let me explain. The first event occurred in California when my daughter and I were touring...

Hillary Clinton is the gift that just keeps on giving to President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. She will not leave the political stage and continues to keep herself in the public eye. After completing a rather unsuccessful speaking tour with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, in which ticket prices were slashed dramatically to fill empty seats, Hillary Clinton decided to visit New Hampshire, the site of the first presidential primary in 2020. Not only is Clinton not ready to endorse any of the almost two dozen declared Democratic presidential candidates, she is still flirting with a third...

This Saturday May 11th will mark the 26th straight week of Yellow Vests protests in France coming within weeks of the European Parliament elections set for Sunday May 26th. President Emmanuel Macron's policies are the impetus for the protests with Macron hoping to improve his political position with a win in the upcoming vote.....

With a robust economy, most people would think it would be nearly impossible to defeat an incumbent president – and it should be under normal circumstances. But circumstances we are living under today are unfortunately far from normal. President Trump – whose frequently criticized conduct and lies have become part of our daily lives – and his administration are giving Democrats a gift like we’ve never seen. That gift is something that was lacking during the 2016 election cycle, when Hillary Clinton got over 3 million more votes than Trump but lost the election as a result of his victory...

Leftists outside of a Philadelphia rally refuse to denounce Democrat Brian Sims for his recent antics. 12 minute video.

When it comes to the issue of guns, well, much like his not so ambiguous pro-segregation stance, Joe Biden's stuck in the past." –Colion Noir In 1994, "Boom Boom Joe" shepherded through the Senate a ban on AR-15s, America's most popular rifle. It was something he worked on for six years. And he stuck it in under the cover of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which he took to the Senate floor to call black youth: Joe Biden: "Predators on our streets. They are beyond the pale, many of those people. Beyond the pale." In his effort...

On a spring night in 2018, I stood on a Manhattan sidewalk with friends, reading Shakespeare aloud. We were in line to see an adaptation of Macbeth and had decided to pass the time refreshing our memories of the play’s best lines. I pulled up Lady Macbeth’s soliloquy on my iPhone. “Come, you spirits / That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,” I read, thrilled once again by the incantatory power of the verse. I remembered where I was when I first heard those lines: in my 10th-grade English class, startled out of my adolescent stupor by this woman...

“This year’s summer will be warmer than usual for most of Europe,” read the headlines in major mainstream media. Yet, the summer has started off with a “Polar Plunge.” This past weekend, thousands in Europe were forced to stay indoors because of below average weather conditions in what was supposed to be a pleasant early summer weekend. Though this is a weather phenomenon caused by Arctic winds, it makes us question the claims of global warming alarmists who had predicted—and continue to predict—contrasting weather conditions. Is freezing the new warming? I still remember how I spent my “bank holiday weekend”...

“Apocali Now!” is a cheeky lampoon of the political left’s many predictions of environmental doom—and the serial failures of those predictions. The book is funny, on-target, and effectively turns the tables by using Saul Alinsky’s 5th rule (“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon“) against the left. But “Apocali Now!” does not mock environmentalism—it mocks the left’s particular brand of frenzied, eschatological environmentalism."

Rudy Giuliani, President Trump's personal attorney, said Friday on "Fox News @ Night" that he will not be traveling to Ukraine as previously announced. Giuliani, a former Republican mayor of New York City, said that he believed he would be "walking into a group of people that are enemies of the president, and in some cases, enemies of the United States and in one case, an already convicted person who has been found to be involved in assisting the Democrats with the 2016 investigation. "There was a great fear that the new [Ukrainian] president would be surrounded by, literally, enemies...

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for a "full combat posture" as state media yesterday released photos showing missiles being fired during a long-range strike drill conducted by Pyongyang. The photos came a day after it tested two short-range missiles. Analysts said the regime may have developed a new missile that is easier to hide, harder to strike down and capable of hitting all of South Korea.

“Perhaps the most disappointing finding from our studies — at least from our point of view — is that there are no known fixes to this problem.” The Mueller report was supposed to settle, once and for all, the controversy over whether the Trump team colluded with Russians or obstructed justice. Clearly, it has not. Reactions to the report have ranged from “Total exoneration!” to “Impeach now!” Shouldn’t nearly 700 hundred pages of details, after almost two years of waiting, have helped the nation to achieve a consensus over what happened? Well, no. As Goethe said in the early 1800s,...
