Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he would strike a peace deal to end the Ukraine war “within 24 hours” if he were commander-in-chief.“Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if I were in the White House, and what’s going on there is a horror show,” Trump said during an interview on Salem News Channel’s America First with Sebastian Gorka. The 45th president shared his belief with Gorka that the media are drastically underreporting the number of deaths in the war.“Those cities are being leveled, I mean, they’re being leveled. I’ve looked photos and aerials of cities where there’s not...

This female judge (Rosemarie) is presently performing for the CAMERAS in the hopes to have a movie made about HER in the future. WHAT A disgusting ham!The guy is guilty ................. but this female judge is a Judicial Showboater................ and is an embarrassmentHow GROSS!

TRUMP’S TRUMPERY I’m feeling better about Trump mania. It’s obviously too soon to tell for sure, but I think we’ve reached Peak Trump. Still, vigilance is required. And on that note, I’d like to raise a gripe about what is supposed to be Donald Trump’s greatest strength: his vaunted un-PCness. There’s a consensus out there — among friends and foes alike — that Donald Trump’s success stems from his willingness not to abide by political correctness (that and his willingness to build a wall the Mexicans will pay for). This alleged bravery has managed to convince a great many people...

How long has Congress been mulling over some sort of amnesty plan for illegal immigrants? A long time, certainly under several presidents, whether it’s called “amnesty” or whether euphemisms are used to substitute for the word. But there’s a reason Congress hasn’t done much about it in a long time, and that’s because the American people don’t want it and Congress is at least somewhat responsive to the people, despite the fact that many politicians and those who give them money are more interested in amnesty than the general public is. Presidents have understand that, too, and have also understood...

Bill O'Reilly objects to "bloviating," which I think means giving opinions not based on fact. So what should we make of his claim that "I believe there is overwhelming evidence that the Syrian tyrant Assad did gas civilians, including children." Where is the "overwhelming evidence?" One day earlier, O'Reilly had claimed, "The evidence is strong that Assad violated the Geneva Convention by using poison gas to kill civilians." So in the course of one day, the evidence had gone from "strong" to "overwhelming." On what basis did this occur? O'Reilly doesn't say. I submit that O'Reilly is engaged in bloviating....

I have watched Fox News since 1998 and have seen alot of ups and downs with Bill O'Reilly, but tonight's talking points memo of "The Factor" were so full of falsehoods and misconceptions that I need the banglist gang to write in to this pinhead. O'Reilly's talking points was on the 2nd Amendment, Guns, and Murder. He generally made some good points on the purpose of the 2nd Amendment and the fact that gun control doesn't work. However he went WAY off the reservation and bought into the liberal journalist LIES of the misconceptions between legal, semi-automatic firearms, and their...

My husband and I took our seats for the long flight home after another visit with the family. The rental car return, security screening and fight for the overhead bins had all gone surprisingly smoothly. I sighed and relaxed. Then it started. Two rows behind us a man started talking. No, not talking. Bloviating. Loudly. He started holding forth and dispensing wisdom to his seatmate. Subject after subject, the plane was treated to his immense store of knowledge and experience. My husband and I turned to each other and simultaneously mouthed, "Blowhard." This fellow was a textbook example of a...

Trying to reassure allies and rivals, President Barack Obama billed himself Saturday as "America’s first Pacific president," promising the nations of Asia "a new era of engagement with the world based on mutual interests and mutual respect." Turning tough, Obama also said that the U.S. "will not be cowed by threats" from North Korea, which he said for decades "has chosen a path of confrontation and provocation, including the pursuit of nuclear weapons." In a slap at President George W. Bush, Obama spoke of the importance of "multilateral organizations [that] can advance the security and prosperity of this region." "I...

Who is George Soros and why is he saying such awful things? Most Americans do not know this billionaire investor, but, using his vast wealth, he has become a force in left-wing political circles. In some ways, he is the litmus test for Democratic politics.     Mr. Soros usually concerns himself with foreign affairs, pointing out what he considers the failures of the Bush administration. In interviews with the press, Mr. Soros claims President Bush's war on terror "is really exploitation." Moreover, he urges European leaders to adopt a stance different from the United States.     Writing in the London-based Independent, Mr....

Dam you officer...I am SOOOO much more important than this fire and emergency and I will gladly step over the dead bodies if need be!

"WASHINGTON – Islamic websites yesterday posted a "last warning" warning by Rakan Ben Williams, who describes himself as an "al-Qaida undercover soldier" in the U.S., threatening two major operations designed to bring Americans "to your knees." " "The threat suggests the attack will be far greater in magnitude than Sept. 11, 2001, because following this one, "there will be no one to analyze and investigate, because the mind and the heart will be unable to comprehend it. ... This will not be a single operation, but two; one bigger than the other, but we will begin with the big one...

Let's have some fun with statistics, shall we? In the senate judiciary committee hearings this morning, Ted Kennedy clumsily attempted to make use of a Cass Sunstein "study"... Writing for National Review Online two days ago, Byron York pointed out in advance that, with all its caveats, qualifications, and disclaimers, Sunstein's report is useful "to prove virtually nothing." Well, it does prove that if a bloated liberal senator gives Cass Sunstein enough money, in a very short time that scholar of unimpeachable credentials will produce a study of sufficient rigor to convince the bloated senator that what the bloated senator...

Personal Message: Since you seemingly care more about parodies of the DU (I personally really like them, great work) and simplistic sensationalist headlines than you do about the realities of the harsh international world that we live in - I bid Freep farewell. I do, however, leave you with this... The religious right has officially become as unhinged as the moon-bat anti-war activists on the left. Furiously and stubbornly refusing to relinquish propaganda sentiments in favor of clear and unbiased logic has unfortunately rendered a portion of our party intellectually irrelevant. Just as the followers of Howard Dean can bring...

Ok, I haven't watched Bill O'Reilly in a loooong time as I tired of his bloviating. Switching around channels tonight I accidently came across his show. I was surprised. He was calm, articulate, and actually made sense! When did he get this new persona, I like it. I must say his appearance has changed somewhat since I last watched. I like the new personality and the new look. It's good to have an O'Reilly I can stomach!
