Gratuitous Hatred Is Destroying Republicans — Just as It Did the Ancient Israelites By Dennis Prager — March 1, 2016 I have been a radio talk-show host for 33 years, nationally syndicated for 18. I have never experienced anything similar to what I am experiencing now. Until recently, the only hate mail I ever received was from a small number of people on the left. The major reason for this, I am convinced, is that I don’t yell at callers and I treat callers who disagree with respect. Reading my e-mails these days is a brand-new experience. I receive hate...

Donald Trump’s distinctive rhetorical style — think of a drunk with a bullhorn reading aloud James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake under water — poses an almost insuperable challenge to people whose painful duty is to try to extract clarity from his effusions. For example, last week, during a long stream of semi-consciousness in Fort Worth, this man who as president would nominate members of the federal judiciary vowed to “open up” libel laws to make it easier to sue — to intimidate and punish — people who write “negative” things. Well. Trump, the thin-skinned tough guy, resembles a campus crybaby who...

It upsets some liberals to say this — and it persuades no Trump supporters — but Donald Trump is a liberal Republican. He would be the most liberal Republican nominee in at least in 20 years. Here are seven reasons why that's true. 1.) Trump's voters are at the left end of the GOP 2.) He supports subsidizing Planned Parenthood 3.) Trump's endorsers are liberals 4.) Trump wants to crack down on free political speech 5.) Donald Trump believes along with the liberal SCOTUS majority and the liberal New York Times that eminent domain for corporate gain is marvelous 6.)...

Donald Trump has promised to make Americans great before, and as multiple lawsuits allege, it didn’t work out so well. Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has vowed on the campaign trail to use his personal prowess and business savvy to help set the country on a better path. But he’s made similar promises in the past, which have not appeared to come true, multiple lawsuits claim. And now those accusations may come back to haunt him in his race for president. It’s possible that Trump will have to take a break from the campaign trail before the final primaries in...

WATCH THE VIDEO - No mater where you stand on Trump, it is a great analysis of how he's become the front runner. When you think of the 2016 Presidential campaign, one name comes to mind - TRUMP. Every day, news stories come out about his inflammatory comments, his stubborn, unapologetic debate strategy...and that's EXACTLY the way he wants it. Trump is no traditional politician; his tactics come from somewhere else, and that place is REALITY TV. Trump's long history in reality television has given him the perfect strategic edge in the political arena, and so far he's winning the...

One of the more stunning things about Donald Trump’s victory in Saturday’s South Carolina primary was the fact that he spent only $1.78 million to win. By contrast, second-place finisher Marco Rubio spent $4.71 million on television advertising and third-place finisher Ted Cruz spent $2.34 million. In addition, Rubio and Cruz had more than $11 million in total Super PAC support, while Jeb Bush—who suspended his campaign after a disappointing finish in South Carolina—received a whopping $13.7 million in Super PAC support himself. Trump received none. So how did he win? Because he has the unwavering support of the nation’s...

A great summary of Trump's positions in his own words. https://youtu.be/rcUCLwWCihE

Three suspects are now in custody for the theft of a rare $5 million violin, and one of the suspects has ties to US Congresswoman Gwen Moore’s (D-Wis.) son Sowande A.

Reince Priebus, Chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party, is running for RNC Chairman.

The advantage to making things in Asia has always been that their labor is cheaper. Now they have another advantage, one that is worrying some big names in American business: Their factories are smarter. The newest and possibly best example is the factory in western India that has begun building the Tata Nano, the world's least expensive car. Sticker price in India: $2,500. Tata Motors Ltd. won't say how quickly it will offer a version that meets U.S. standards, nor has it announced a U.S. price. But it does expect to sell a version of the sedan in America eventually,...

Whistleblower Mark Klein tells in his new book of how he was ignored. He spoke with IDG News. July 17, 2009 (IDG News Service) They sometimes call national security the third rail of politics. Touch it and, politically, you're dead. The cliché doesn't seem far off the mark after reading Mark Klein's new book, "Wiring up the Big Brother Machine ... and Fighting It." It's an account of his experiences as the whistleblower who exposed a secret room at a Folsom Street facility in San Francisco that was apparently used to monitor the Internet communications of ordinary Americans.

Racine County McCain Co-Chair Joshua Kuehn caught a pair of sign thieves in his yard last night. I'll let him tell the story... I was going out to my truck to get my laptop, all of a sudden I see this guy running through my yard. He grabs a hold of the Women for McCain sign from my front yard. I yelled to him " Hey want to go to jail?" The guy looks at me and starts running across the street. When I rounded the house (in my bath robe, mind you) I noticed a white jeep. I left...

October 13, 2008 Racine schools hand out textbook with 15 page Obama love-fest... This comes from the mother of a Racine Unified School District 8th grader. She has asked to keep her name out of this but frankly I can't add much to what she has said here but I do have one question. Did the teacher give equal time and a fair discussion about John McCain and his "life of service"? I think I already know the answer to that question. This is not education folks, this is indoctrination. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! ______________________ My 8th grade son is in...

UPDATE: Army shuts down warfare game At the request of Summerfest officials, the U.S. Army on Tuesday removed a virtual urban warfare game that allowed fest-goers as young as 13 to hop into a Humvee simulator and fire machine guns at life-size people displayed on a computer screen. "We're determining it's probably not something that we want to have shown at Summerfest," said John Boler, vice president of sales and marketing, said before the decision was made to request removal of the game, called Virtual Army Experience. The game drew criticism from Peace Action Wisconsin, which called it "totally inappropriate...

RACINE — You’ve heard of “Pimp My Ride,” right? Now try “Pimp My Cart,” the Racine Public Library’s take on the popular MTV car-customizing show. But the library’s attempt to reach out to the hard-sell teenage crowd has some in the community cringing at their vocabulary. “I think it’s a laudable goal, what they’re trying to accomplish, but when I look at a library I see it as a bastion of culture whose job is to transmit and communicate culture,” said Lou D’Abbraccio. “For them to embrace the negative culture that that word connotes, I thought was inappropriate. I don’t...
