The Washington Post has published another one of their heartwrenching testimonial pieces designed to elicit sympathy for illegal aliens and highlight how terrible the Trump administration is. This one has a twist, however. Rather than featuring some illegal who is found and deported, separating them from their family, this is a goodbye note from an illegal alien who voluntarily decided to go back to Mexico along with his parents and siblings. The author is Ariel Rodriguez, who is described as, “a freelance journalist living in Mexico City.” Of course, that’s a rather recent update. For the past ten years, he...

The only thing richer than the Democratic Party’s history of sexual perversion is their astounding willingness to lecture others on the subject. On Friday, we learned of sexual assault allegations against casino magnate and RNC Finance Chairman Steve Wynn. The shocking accounts of his harassment, manipulation and worse paint the picture of the worst kind of cad — or a medium degenerate-level Democratic senator. Hours after the story first appeared in The Wall Street Journal, giddy Democrats were pounding the table and their shih tzu media was yapping about how the Republican National Committee needed to return all of Wynn’s...

Thousands of women Labour Party members will quit if men who believe they are female are allowed to join all-women shortlists, a leading party figure has warned. Labour veteran Linda Bellos – once notorious as the far-Left leader of Lambeth Council – spoke out as The Mail on Sunday revealed that her name was on a secret hit list of 32 party members targeted by transgender activists.

In different circumstances, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg might be on a valedictory tour in her final months on the Supreme Court. But in the era of Donald Trump, the 84-year-old Ginsburg is packing her schedule and sending signals she intends to keep her seat on the bench for years. The eldest Supreme Court justice has produced two of the court's four signed opinions so far this term. Outside court, she's the subject of a new documentary that includes video of her working out. And she's hired law clerks to take her through June 2020, just four months before the next...

A Clinton presidential campaign aide who was accused of sexual harassment in 2008 but never fired by Hillary, now faces fresh accusations from two more women. A young woman filed an official complaint against her boss Burns Strider in 2008 and against the advice of senior aides, Clinton reportedly refused to fire him from the campaign.

In a moment of woeful irony in the Obama-administration documentary “The Final Year,” UN Ambassador Samantha Power travels to Cameroon to offer photo-op comfort to families terrorized by Boko Haram — only to have her motorcade kill a 7-year-old boy. Greg Barker, director of this fan film, does his best to downplay the accident: It is discussed while we watch a clip of Power’s convoy moving at a crawl when in fact it was reportedly traveling at over 60 miles an hour when it struck the boy. Despite Barker’s intentions, the handiwork of the Road to Hell Paving Co. is...

On Tuesday conservative best-selling author and columnist Ann Coulter wrote her weekly column on Lindsey Graham and his disastrous record and complete insanity on immigration policy. snip Ann Coulter ought to be pleased to read that Senator Lindsey Graham was banned and booted from future White House immigration discussions. Independent Journal Review reported: The White House appears to have banned Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) from participating in immigration reform negotiations due to a recent strain between Graham and the Trump administration, as well as other Republicans in the House and Senate.

As we begin President Donald Trump's second year in office, the president's approval ratings are at the lowest level for any modern president at this point in his first term at just 39 percent. But that's only half the story. (Snip) That's when the news gets better for the president, a lot better. The latest poll of polls by the Huffington Post has Schumer's approval rating at a measly 26 percent, 13 points lower than President Trump. The same poll of polls has Pelosi's approval rating just a hair better at just under 29 percent. Perhaps the only other Democrat...

As our elected officials in Washington (notice I did not say leaders) bicker over any changes to our immigration system, they repeat quite often silly statements that have either no relevance to the discussion and/or are major distractions. Let’s address those ideas so that we might bring them into the modern era. It is high time that politicians from both sides of the aisle stop telling us of the “huddled masses” which their families were a part of more than a century ago when they came to this country. The statements are quaint, but have little or no relevance to...

Larry Schweikart is NYT’s #1 bestselling author. His analysis on the current FBI and DOJ scandals are outlined below in a series of fascinating tweets. Schwiekart begins his thread with a link to an article by the brilliant journalist (a dying breed), Sheryl Attkinson, that addresses how the walls are beginning to close in on the FBI. In a message to his followers, Schweikart admits his reluctance to have to dissect Attkinson’s article in a series of tweets or a “thread”. Schweikart tweets: “The last thing I wanted to do this morning was a thread, but alas, the situation requires...

The Russian government is bracing itself for mass protests in cities across the country. They have been called by anti corruption campaigner Alexei Navalny, who was barred from running in the upcoming presidential elections because of a dubious fraud conviction. Katya Gordon will be joining them. She told Sky News: "Once Putin said that he wants to be a president again, the election was finished and there is no chance, because the system is too powerful and it is made to work for the main idea that the powerful people should have their power and they don't care about the...

In September of 2015 we shared one of the overarching reasons why CTH would support Donald Trump for President. – SEE HERE – This week, the sentiment behind that reasoning showed up in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum; we could not be more proud. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross (Wednesday), Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin (Thursday) and U.S. President Donald Trump (Friday), collectively outlined how our new U.S. trade and economic policy would engage with the world. Many media voices (narrative engineers) will, and have, continue to obfuscate, spin, and make predictive declarations about U.S. economic policies based on their...

From @realDonaldTrump Twitter account: "I have offered DACA a wonderful deal, including a doubling in the number of recipients & a twelve year pathway to citizenship, for two reasons: (1) Because the Republicans want to fix a long time terrible problem. (2) To show that Democrats do not want to solve DACA, only use it! "Democrats are not interested in Border Safety & Security or in the funding and rebuilding of our Military. They are only interested in Obstruction!"

Zeman joined the Communist Party during the 1968 Prague Spring reforms. The short-lived period of greater freedom was brutally crushed by a Soviet invasion. Two years later he was purged from the party. Zeman joined the left-leaning Social Democratic party after communism fell, taking its helm in 1993. Five years later, he formed a minority government largely responsible for talks in the run-up to Czech EU accession in 2004. His failed attempt to replace Havel as president in 2003 -- in a vote won by Klaus -- led him to reconsider his priorities and retreat to a countryside house far...

Global elitists gathered Friday at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland gave a warm reception to President Donald Trump, and liberals could not be more tied in knots about it, according to an economist who helped develop the chief executive’s tax cut plan. Stephen Moore, who advised Trump on economic issues during the 2016 presidential campaign, said on “The Laura Ingraham Show” that American progressives are counting on Europeans’ remaining hostile to the president. "Liberals are hyperventilating now because Trump is becoming normalized in a way that terrifies them," he said. Moore said Trump's reception in Davos, Switzerland, could not...

Europe’s populist movement was given a shot in the arm on Saturday when Czech Republic President Milos Zeman, running primarily on an anti-migration platform, fended off a challenge from political neophyte Jiri Drahos. Zeman won 51.4 percent of the vote from the two-day runoff while Drahos won 48.6 percent. Czech Radio reports that Drahos won in most of the main cities, while Zeman scored big with smaller towns and the countryside, with analysts saying Zeman’s “common touch” made the difference.

In a move that will likely leave Congressional investigators aghast, the Justice Department handed over a batch of text messages exchanged between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page to special counsel Robert Mueller’s office and are unlikely to find out what the contents are — at least until the Russia probe wraps up. Once briefed on the texts, Mueller’s team directed the Justice Department to make redactions.
