Sheriff David Clarke had an emotional response to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Jesse Jackson's response to the Dallas police shootings and their race baiting rhetoric. To open fire on innocent people performing their job is despicable. Our country is quickly becoming no different than some of those countries in other places in the world with civil unrest. It seems to get worse each day and I for one am very nervous how this country will be in the years to come. Watch this terrific interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxJaP23SHUQI have several thoughts on how we got this way, and I know many...

So the FBI admitted that "only" 110 email chains contained "classified" material, and at least a couple contained higher than Top Secret. Why does Congress not investigate people like Blumenthol, who received and re-transmitted that Top Secret material? Plenty of precedence for such charges. We all know the reason that the FBI will not, that the DOJ prosecutors would not prosecute these cases. Buy why not Congress?

An "appalled" Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton said Thursday that police wouldn't have shot and killed Philando Castile if he'd been white and called for justice "with the greatest sense of time urgency." Castile, who was about to turn 33, was killed Wednesday during a traffic stop in Falcon Heights, a suburb of the Twin Cities. He died at a hospital after the incident, which occurred about 9 p.m. (10 p.m. ET) Wednesday. The Hennepin County medical examiner's office said in an autopsy report late Thursday that Castile, 32, died of multiple gunshot wounds. It classified his death as a homicide....

A Trump source, who described the meeting as a “mending of fences,” said the former rivals agreed to a rhetorical cease-fire and promised to work together on issues they agree. One such area is the courts: Trump asked Cruz to assist in cultivating a longer list of conservative judicial appointees, and once more, the Texas senator obliged him. Today Donald Trump met with Cruz privately, and it seemed their buried the hatchet, or so it seems. Cruz accepted a speaking role at the GOP convention in a couple of weeks. I guess my thoughts run to WHEN will he be speaking?...

Who is career criminal Hillary Clinton to talk about anything? This horrible woman allowed state secrets to be disseminated to everyone in the world through her incompetence when she was Secretary of State. She is an embarrassment to this country. If she had even a semblance of a conscience, she would disqualify herself from running for president. Here's a line she used trying to bait NJ Governor Chris Christie: “If your governor would start doing his job instead of following Donald Trump around holding his coat, maybe New Jersey’s economy would get going again.” Says the career criminal who stole millions...

The phrase “And Justice for All” just got another black eye. Hillary Clinton did a whole lot of wrong things with her State Department emails. But she won’t have to pay the price legally, FBI Director James Comey announced Tuesday. Clinton might be singing “Happy Days Are Here Again.” She almost got indicted once before — when she was first lady — for more than a dozen cases of fraud and perjury and whatnot.

Matt Damon praised Australia’s gun laws while promoting his latest gun-toting Jason Bourne film in that country. “You guys did it here in one fell swoop, and I wish that could happen in my country, but it’s such a personal issue for people that we cannot talk about it sensibly,” the diminutive star said while pandering his way through the former British prison colony. (VIDEO-AT-LINK) “Obviously, mass shootings aren’t going to do it. There have been so many of them at this point. Sandy Hook — when those children were murdered — if that didn’t do it, you know, I...

I just watched Ryan on the Kelly File show. He was very clear that he could not see the Trump "star" image that she was displaying on the screen, AND that he had not seen it previously. He said that IF it was an anti-Semitic image, it should not have been used, that he believes a "flunky"at the campaign selected the image, AND that they have to get better control of their social media operation. He then went on to say he absolutely endorses Trump over Hillary Clinton. So Ryan never saw the image (that's his claim at least) and...

The FBI has said it will not file any charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server while secretary of state. At a press conference Tuesday morning, FBI director James Comey gave a lengthy description of the investigation his staff had carried out, focused on whether Clinton has mishandled classified information, and concluded that "no reasonable prosecutor" would bring a case based on the evidence. That wording is particularly relevant given the partisan nature of the issue. Clinton is the presumptive Democratic nominee for president and Republicans have long hoped that her use of a private...

Much has been made of the fact that if the FBI is made to look like a laughing stock agents will leak info from the probe. What do you think?

In the moments following FBI Director James Comey’s announcement on Tuesday that Hillary Clinton should not face criminal charges for her private e-mail servers scandal, the cast assembled by ABC News hailed the “extraordinary decision” as “a momentous day” signaling that “a cloud is lifted” for Clinton to continue on with the presidential race and President Obama to give his own thoughts on the matter. Senior Justice correspondent Pierre Thomas dubbed Comey’s recommendation an “extraordinary decision” and blistering for Clinton but emphasized the early spin that “they looked at precedent and found no case like it where prosecutors would have...

Well, Now that we've had our FBI directory roll over and say "Can I please keep my pension", we have to look at what has happened. Basically, Clinton's biggest defense is "I was too incompetent to be guilty" of the crimes alleged. There's clear evidence she did a lot of things, illegal, wicked and dangerous. But, because she was too stupid to know that she was doing wrong, she isn't guilty. And THAT is who the Democrats want to be the next President of the United States. If she wins, the great experiment of America is over. Years ago, Benjamin...

And people thought that FBI Special Agent John Connolly was an "anamoly". Whitey Bulger, who's getting the last laugh, knows better...

Well America, what now? We know Clinton has broken every law that can be broken, told every lie that can be told, damaged more people lives than anyone knows, taken millions of dollars illegally. She should be in jail, so if anyone needed any more proof the political system is a dictatorship, and voting and laws have nothing to do with it. Hillary will be "installed" into the White House. This is what the new Globalist system does, they install leaders, voters have no rights. So what's it going to be? https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/750353319084843008 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/750352884106223616 Maybe the people need to show them we...

Has America spent the last few hundred years misunderstanding the Declaration of Independence? That's what Danielle Allen, a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ, believes. According to Allen, the paragraph beginning 'We hold these truths to be self-evident' has been misinterpreted thanks to a rogue period that was not in the original document. And that could completely transform our understanding of how the Founding Fathers viewed the role of government, The New York Times reported.The line as it is most commonly reprinted reads: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,...

“I used to be Republican until I had a wake-up call. I realized the fate of the nation was way less important than people liking me!” That’s one of my crowd-pleasing stand-up comedy jokes that is sadly funny because of how true it is. In front of mostly liberal audiences in New York and Los Angeles where I’ve performed, the only way to not be booed off the stage when talking about politics is for me to basically pretend being Republican is crazy. It’s essentially the same lesson Donald Trump supporters have learned. In a media environment that every day...

Hillary Clinton "really" loves to talk over drinks, according to a longtime confidante. Negotiating "over adult beverages" would be a feature over what the New York Times portrays as a Clinton presidential style that would resemble that of Ronald Reagan of Lyndon Johnson, both legendary schmoozers. "Her greatest strength is that she really listens to people, she understands what their political and policy needs are, and she tries to find that space where you can compromise," said Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress and a former adviser to both Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Way back in the early 70s, my mother's youngest brother (who was a seasonal worker for the US Army Corps of Engineers), as was his habit, brought his car over to our house while he was away on "the boat" (as we all called it). But this time he left something else . . . an very plain-looking, ordinary radio. Back in those days FM was still fairly exotic. AM was still king, and that's where most of the music and regular radio programming was. This little radio happened to have both AM and FM. But it had a third...
