TRENTON, N.J. – New Jersey residents hoping to emulate anti-‘stay at home‘ protests in other states including Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Utah, Wyoming and Virginia were thrown a curveball on Thursday when Facebook shut down their event page. The “Open New Jersey” rally – planned for Tuesday, April 28th at the Trenton War Memorial – was informed by Facebook that its event page violated the social media platform’s community standards. Specifically, Facebook warned that it was “coordinating harm and promoting crime.”

This is a list of current NFL sponsors along with contact information for most of them. I will complete the missing info soon. If you are upset about the disrespect some NFL players have been showing toward our flag and the support they've gotten from their teams and the NFL itself, you can contact their sponsors and let them know how you feel.

excerpt... Additionally, I am concerned that Mr. Combetta may have made an attempt to delete relevant posts, including the post mentioned above, from his reddit.com username just hours after reports initially surfaced on September 19th, 2016, about his request for assistance on deleting email addresses from archived emails. This raises significant concerns that materials directly related to the Committee's investigation and responsive to its outstanding requests are being actively destroyed in an attempt to conceal relevant information from coming to light. These posts are being destroyed despite a lawfully issue congressional subpoena served on your client, Platte River Networks, requiring...

Analysis of polls shows that Clinton peaked on August 14th and Trump has been gaining ever since. The 4 national tracking polls that report daily results (LA Times/UNC, UPI/CVoter, PPD, Reuters/Ipsos) show the race has essentially been tied for the last 5 days. Trump has lead in all 4 of these polls at some point over the past week. I will keep this page updated as new polls are released.

An average of the 4 national daily tracking polls (LA Times/UNC, UPI/CVoter, Reuters/Ipsos and PPD show that Trump has been gaining since about August 14th and the race is now tied. I've put all of the polling data into a couple of graphs, one showing the state of the race based on the daily tracking polls, and other other showing an overall trend based on all polls. The linked page will be updated whenever new polls are released. This page shows the real data and filters out the sleight of hand used by the media and the RCP averages.

Here is the list of polls currently being counted in the RCP average along with the Clinton lead in each. I threw out the NBC News/SurveyMoney poll since it's not even a scientific poll. Live Telephone Surveys ABC News/WaPo: 8 IBD/TIPP: 7 McClatchy/Marist: 15 NBC News/WSJ: 9 Fox News: 10 CBS News: 6 CNN/ORC: 9 Avg: 9.1 Internet/Robo Surveys LA Times/UNC: 2 Reuters/Ipsos: 4 Economist/YouGov: 3 Rasmussen: 4 Avg: 3.25 There is a theory floating around among some pollsters that there is a sizable hidden Trump vote which is revealed in automated (internet/robocall) polls, but remains hidden in live telephone...

If I'm not mistaken, CNN did a poll immediately following Trump's speech last week, which by the way showed that people who watched the speech viewed it very favorably. So my question, where is the poll for Hillary's speech? Are the CNN pollsters on vacation this week or maybe they decided they need to give the public a day or two to soak up the Hillary love fest in the MSM before polling them? I think it's safe to say, if the results were good they would have been published.

Drop a frog in boiling water and he'll jump out, but put him in a pot of lukewarm water and slowly raise the temperature and he’ll just sit there and slowly cook. WE ARE BEING SLOWLY COOKED BY RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM! There have been at least 10 Islamic terror attacks over the past month and 5 in the past 5 days alone. The jihadists are pressing their attack in all parts of the world and especially in Europe. The response of Western leaders is to downplay the Islamic link and pretend we can’t figure out the motivation for the attacks....

It seems some enterprising young liberal has taken it upon himself to single handedly vanquish the evil tea party movement. He’s created a new website called crashtheteaparty.org. The purpose of this group as stated on their homepage is “To dismantle and demolish the Tea Party by any non-violent means necessary.” Apparently they intend to do this by infiltrating the tea party and attacking from within. It gets better. Again from their homepage, the group describes themselves thus. A nationwide network of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents who are all sick and tired of that loose affiliation of racists, homophobes, and morons;...

Why do you turn off the lights when you leave a room or buy a more fuel efficient car? There are two basic reasons for reducing energy consumption, the first is to reduce your energy bills and the second is to conserve a ‘limited’ resource which in many people’s eyes will help save the planet. Trying to reduce your energy costs, whether in a personal or business setting, is generally a good idea for obvious reasons, however, the idea of conserving energy because it is limited resource is sheer folly and will probably do more harm than good to the...

Fast forward the clock by a year or two, or maybe three. After many years of discussing, arguing, finger-pointing and general inaction by the West, the Islamic regime in Tehran has achieved their greatest goal, they have built and tested a nuclear weapon and they now hold the world hostage. How will Washington deal with a nuclear armed Iran and how would the Obama Administration respond to an Iranian nuclear attack against a US or Israeli target? First, consider the blackmail scenario. Iran does not actually detonate a nuke; instead they use it as leverage to achieve their geopolitical goals....

Since taking office in January, 2009, President Barack Obama has seemingly gone out of his way to damage the US relationship with many of our allies around the world. Obama has sold out key allies such as the UK, Israel, Poland and the Czech Republic and he has insulted others such as Australia, by canceling his trip there so he could save his own political hide back home. This is ironic since Obama ran on a platform of reconnecting the US with the rest of the world after the so-called ‘cowboy diplomacy’ of the Bush years. Whether intentionally or simply...

There is nothing more despicable than using the misfortune and tragedy of others for your own personal gain, and yet we are subjected to this type of crass spectacle all too often by our very own elected representatives. The latest example is the terrible coal mine accident this week in West Virginia where at least 25 miners were killed and hope is fading for several others who are still trapped. With the nation riveted on the rescue efforts and prayers going out for the families of those lost and the men still trapped, several of our esteemed members of Congress...

President Obama and his liberal cohorts in the Congress have come up with an ingenious new twist on the age old liberal principle of tax and spend. They realize that higher taxes would be politically unpopular and so have concluded a frontal assault on the American taxpayer would not be wise. Instead they have embarked on a bold plan to spend more money than any other Congress in the history of the United States; money we don’t have. After racking up a massive debt and driving the nation to the brink of bankruptcy the trap will be sprung. They will...

President Obama is about to demonstrate once again a complete lack of understanding of how the world works and of the effective use of US power. According to the New York Times the President will announce tomorrow a new nuclear strategy that would “substantially narrow the conditions under which the United States would use nuclear weapons, even in self-defense.” The President will essentially tie one hand behind our back and invite our enemies to be more aggressive because they will no longer face the threat of a nuclear response from the United States. As with several of his other policy...

In order to track the progress of the massive government stimulus program passed last year and to convince the masses their $787 billion was being spent wisely the Obama administration dreamed up a new employment statistic affectionately known as “jobs created or saved”. Never mind the fact that it’s impossible to measure and most serious economists have basically laughed it off as a political gimmick. If the economic gurus in the White House believe this number is meaningful then that’s good enough for us, and in keeping with the new and creative way of counting jobs in America we now...

The liberal news media has been hard at work trying to take the edge off of a very bleak unemployment picture. With each passing month they attempt to put a positive spin on the news in an effort to convince people that things are not so bad. Tell that to the millions of long term unemployed in this country who have no prospects of getting a job anytime soon. The media bias in reporting the unemployment numbers is shameless but not unexpected. Let’s look at some facts to put the whole thing in perspective. The official unemployment rate stands at...

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will announce a new set of procedures for screening US-Bound air passengers which will use a more comprehensive profile of each passenger to determine who will receive enhanced searches and screenings. These new procedures will replace existing methods which use a more broad brush approach requiring enhanced screenings for all passengers from 14 mostly-Muslim nations. This is clearly a step in the right direction and most likely reflects an implicit admission by the Obama administration that current methods of ensuring secure air travel simply do not work. According to the Wall Street Journal...

The list of US companies announcing charges against earnings to cover the costs of Obamacare continues to grow. New arrivals include Boeing, Goodrich, Lockheed Martin, Ingersoll-Rand, ITW and Xcel Energy. Will Congressman Waxman haul the CEOs of all of these companies before his committee for an in-depth examination as well? When the dust settles Mr. Waxman is likely to be a very busy man considering many of the S&P 500 companies will probably announce some sort of charge related to Obamacare. Total announcements so far add up to more than $1.7 billion. See the latest up to date list of...
