I want to start this report by taking you back to a time past. In 2012, Susan Rice, Barack Obama’s national security adviser, lied on five news shows, saying that the attack on the Benghazi compound was “spontaneous” and the direct result of a “heinous and offensive video.” We all know now that was a deliberate lie concocted by President Obama and Hillary Clinton. We, also know that the Administration immediately knew it was a lie, but yet, they sent Rice to do her interviews by telling an outright lie to the world. Yet, no one spoke of banning Susan...

Brian Williams, once suspended NBC anchor, spent an entire segment of his MSNBC show The 11th Hour on President Trump's lying.Williams had Wisconsin radio host Charlie Sykes on to discuss his piece in The New York Times entitled "Why Nobody Cares About Trump's Lying."In his piece, Sykes wrote, "The cumulative effect of the attacks [on the mainstream media] was to delegitimize those outlets and essentially destroy much of the right's immunity to false information. We thought we were creating a savvier, more skeptical audience. Instead we opened the door for President Trump who found an audience that could be easily misled."Williams...

American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten is paid 10 times as much money as the average teacher, according to new federal labor filings. Weingarten earned nearly $560,000 in total compensation during the 2013-2014 school year, according to Department of Labor filings.That figure includes a total salary of $375,174 for the year, as well as more than $180,000 in additional benefits and expenses. The $50,300 she collected in “allowances disbursed,” which cover unnamed perks indirectly related to business, was just $6,000 less than the average teacher earned for the 2012-2013...

Marxist Hypocrisy on Display In California On December 6, 2016 upon the return of the Legislature and newly-elected members, Sen. John Moorlach, R-Costa Mesa, authored Senate Resolution 8, introduced to simply welcome newly-elected President Donald Trump and acknowledge the historical peaceful transition of power. SR8 said the Senate “hopes for the peaceful transition of power in the United States, that the incoming presidency will be a success, and that the president-elect will take his responsibilities seriously to ensure a strong and unified America.”

Do I sense a tad bit of hypocrisy in the acrid and smoky air above the cities as the violence accelerates and the liberal left Democrats go even farther out of their mind for their Marxist narrative? When the Tea Party was rallying peaceably in response to the election of Barack Obama in 2008, and continued their movement throughout the Democrat President’s two terms of office, they were labeled by the leftist political establishment and the liberal media as an anti-government hate group, and domestic terrorists or a domestic terrorist group. Even the Department of Homeland Security, under Obama’s watch,...

Is a 1994 trade deal with Mexico really as one-sided as President Donald Trump claims? Does Mexico benefit much more than the United States? A close look at trade between the two countries shows the answer is not cut and dried. ....The relationship is not as one-sided as Trump suggests... The U.S. has invested more than $90 billion in Mexico, millions of American jobs are tied to trade with the southern neighbor, and rising wealth in Mexico has actually curbed immigration from that country. A study from Pew Research, for instance, suggests that more immigrants have returned to Mexico since...

Mariah Carey and Sir Elton John were paid millions to sing at the wedding of a Russian billionaire’s granddaughter, reports say. The music icons were the centrepiece of the nine-hour celebration for Irene Kogan and Daniel Kenvey, both 19, who wed at London’s Landmark hotel on January 14, 2017.

ONLY two of the 20-plus reporters who covered the presidential campaign for The New York Times were black. None were Latino or Asian. That’s less diversity than you’ll find in Donald Trump’s cabinet thus far. Of The Times’s newly named White House team, all six are white, as is most everyone in the Washington bureau. Traveling to other departments, Metro has only three Latinos among its 42 reporters, in a city with the second largest Hispanic population in the country. Sports has one Asian man, two Hispanics and no African-Americans among its 21 reporters, yet blacks are plentiful among the...

The socialist essayist and novelist George Orwell by 1944 grew depressed that as a cost for the defeat of the Axis Powers the Allies had empowered an equally nightmarish monster in the Soviet Union. Since his days fighting for the loyalists during the Spanish Civil War, the left-wing Orwell had become an increasingly outspoken enemy of Communism. After the defeat of Nazi Germany, when Stalin renounced all his wartime assurances and steamrolled Eastern Europe, Orwell came to see state socialism under authoritarian auspices as the greatest threat to human freedom. It was not as if right-wing dictators were not equally...

Kim Campbell – the country’s former PM – warns Republican’s comments could mean troubling consequences for women across the US.

The EPA is without a doubt the most corrupt agency in the Obama Administration. That’s saying something when you consider the fact that there have been over a dozen scandals during his reign. Remember when the EPA accidentally dumped millions of gallons of toxic waste into the drinking water that was used by thousands of people? They’ve never been punished for it in a meaningful way and apparently that could change very soon. From The Daily Signal: “New Mexico and Colorado are both suing the EPA, and now the Supreme Court has asked the acting solicitor general of the United...

Hate mail that was sent to several mosques nationwide, including one in South Florida, is leaving the Muslim community on edge. The Islamic Center of Greater Miami has been left rattled after receiving the disturbing letter Monday. Members of the mosque are now speaking out, saying it is time for the community to come together... The interfaith community in South Florida is rallying behind the Islamic Center. The rabbi from the Bet Shira Congregation released a statement to condemn this letter.

November 27 Trump Won, but We're Not Done! By Lloyd Marcus Among eating Turkey, passing out, and eating more turkey, plus pumpkin cheesecake (a dollop of whipped cream on top), I caught the news on TV. It seemed the lead story of every broadcast was that Trump is an uncouth, two-faced SOB. The incredulous mainstream media is going to bombard us for the next four years, spinning every news story to further the left's despicable lie that stupid racist whites elected America's version of Hitler. The left has already begun doubling down on its efforts to demonize conservatism and block...

We all think we know what hypocrisy is: claiming to have certain moral and ethical standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform. But given the across the board hysterical response to Donald Trump's presidential win, it seems Octavio Paz's sentiment that hypocrisy can be a character trait applies. "When hypocrisy is a character trait, it also affects one's thinking, because it consists in the negation of all the aspects of reality that one finds disagreeable, irrational or repugnant."Hypocrisy is indeed a character trait of the American Left. For months, the Left has been predicting that if...

Jon Stewart did not have many jokes to make on Thursday about President-elect Donald Trump's election victory, but he instead offered empathy for some Trump supporters.

A 23-year-old woman who became an outspoken anti-bullying advocate after a brutal beating in high school is facing assault charges after cops say she shoved a 74-year-old man to the ground during a second night of anti-Trump protests in New York City. Cops say Clinton supporter Shacara McLaurin, who had once auditioned for “American Idol,” and the man got into a heated dispute about who should have won the election that boiled over as demonstrators gathered outside President-elect Donald Trump’s skyscraper in midtown Manhattan Thursday night. “She was yelling ‘Black lives matter’ and he started yelling ‘All lives matter’ and...

‘I Won’ The Left will not enjoy living with its own precedents. By Kevin D. Williamson — November 13, 2016 As the philosopher said: “Life comes at you pretty fast.” Ten minutes ago, somber progressives were lecturing Donald Trump over his “Make America Great Again” slogan. “America,” they sniffed, is already great. Five minutes later, out came the “F*** AmeriKKKa!” signs and American flags were being burned in the streets. Ten minutes ago, Democrats were fretting that Donald Trump and his partisans would refuse to concede defeat, and insisting that Trump must make a dramatic public commitment to personally working...

Perhaps I am missing something...

But was his campaign really more expansive than that of the black guy who won VA and NC and IN, 50%+ of popular vote (twice)...
