Fresh off her tour of Asia, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) touted China as “one of the freest societies in the world.” While speaking with NBC “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, Pelosi emphasized the importance of her bipartisan trip to Taiwan, that was met with threats from the Chinese Communist Party. The speaker also described China as a “strong democracy.”

During and after the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, the white 18-year-old accused of murdering two white men and injuring another, one could hardly keep track of the insanity based on falsehoods recklessly peddled by media and politicians. In Chicago, the Rev. Jesse Jackson marched in the front line of a group of protesters where some chanted, "When black lives are under attack, what do we do?" Black lives under attack? Rittenhouse is white, as were the two men he shot dead and the man he injured. In September 2020, presidential candidate Joe Biden posted a video that included a picture...

A Democratic candidate in West Virginia was an active leader in pagan witchcraft for years and instructed others. Lissa Lucas wrote two books on occult practices, including a how-to book for casting spells. Lucas... doesn’t think voters will care about her ‘spirituality’ because they’re not ‘religious bigots.’ A Democratic candidate for the West Virginia House of Delegates was an active leader in pagan witchcraft, Lucas’s campaign has raised more than five times as much money as her Republican opponent, thanks in part to national media attention that has left out Lucas’s witchcraft. She authored two books on casting pagan spells,...

Before Hurricane Harvey even made landfall on the Texas coast, what Sean Hannity calls the “Destroy Trump Media” was already condemning President Trump’s handling of this natural disaster. No doubt Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords will soon be blamed for this and every other natural disaster. As Salon shrieked: Hurricane Harvey is predicted to be the first major storm in a decade -- and Trump just tweeted a useless promotional ad in preparation. According to the White House, Trump was briefed on the government’s hurricane preparation efforts earlier this month, but his campaign-style commercial -- fitted with a...

Remember Bad, Bad Leroy Brown? He was "Badder than old King Kong and meaner than a junkyard dog." Junkyard dogs are good in a fight, mean and nasty when provoked. They're often docile when treated decently, with respect and kindness. But don't poke them with a stick or kick them unless you want to be attacked with bared teeth and a nasty bite. President Donald Trump is a junkyard dog. Raised in New York City, he spent his entire working life dealing with N.Y. politics, graft, regulations, backstabbing, and aggressiveness. A true junkyard. It's not the lunch room at Bergdorf...

Congresswoman Maxine Waters, aka Welfare Queen Maxine, held her second town hall. This woman has taken out-of-touch insanity to a whole new level. She still demands the impeachment of our President, even though the fired FBI Director admitted that he was leaking classified data to the press, and both sides of the aisle now acknowledge (Republicans knew it all along) that Trump and Russia never colluded to fix the election. But that has not stopped Waters from lying repeatedly to her constituents. Nor has she stopped taking on the moniker of “Auntie Maxine” to wayward Millennials. They realize that Barack...

A New York school district has launched an investigation into a student art show that included profane references to President Trump.The art show at Shen High School featured a dozen drawings of the president’s face. Above the drawings was a sign that read, “Draw on Me.” On a nearby table was a box filled with markers.Let’s just say, the youngsters did not hold back.“Burn in Hell, Trump,” wrote one person. Another person scrawled the word, “a**wipe.”One of my readers sent me a photograph of the art display. Click here to see the hateful rhetoric for yourself.“I think it’s horribly...

The radical Left is so incensed and horrified by the advent of a Trump presidency that it has been driven to adopt what it considers to be the tactics of a grassroots movement it abhors and accuses of being racist, homophobic, anti-government, anti-woman, nativist, and Islamophobic along with the array of other epithets reserved for conservatives and flag-waving Americans. Led by five former Democratic congressional staffers, the recently birthed progressive organization Indivisible admits to modeling its strategy to "resist" the Trump administration after the tactics employed by its perceived nemesis: the Tea Party. Operating from the conviction that presidential power...

RUSH: Yesterday on this program, ladies and gentlemen… And I have to tell you, I want to thank everybody who sent me notes. I had more favorable response to the segments yesterday on insurance — what it is, how it is related to health insurance and preexisting conditions. I seriously had more email thanking me for doing that than I’ve had on anything in a long time. I’ve even had a couple of people say it was brilliant, and it was so good that I should repeat it, because more and more people need to hear it. Now, it took...

In the first 100 days since Felonia von Pantsuit was not inaugurated, the goofy collection of commie traitors, coastal snobs, and crack-pot weirdoes that hilariously styles itself “#TheResistance” has only managed to successfully resist success. Oh sure, they and the catamite media tried their darnedest but, as Yoda said, “Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.” And, as Yoda also said, “Chelsea Clinton is best Democrats can do, say you? Kidding me, you are.”Yeah, after 100 days President Trump has reintroduced the world to Alpha America after eight years of Barack’s fussy betaism, gutted a Schumer-ton of...

One of my conservative friends recently suggested that leftist professors should be prohibited from putting political posters and bumper stickers on their office doors. I strongly disagreed and told him I would defend the leftists if he ever tried to interfere with their political speech. But I wouldn’t do it for reasons of principle. I would do it because I enjoy the wealth of good writing material supplied by my more extreme left wing colleagues – most of them self-described feminists. A case in point is the recent MoveOn.org poster that is making its way onto so many faculty office...

Following a recent foreign policy dust-up between the White House and Britain over unfounded allegations of spying, the liberal media took it upon themselves to speculate the future of the long standing relationship. And during ABC’s This Week the network’s chief foreign correspondent, Terry Morgan mocked the Trump administration and argued that all of Europe was laughing at the expense of the United States. “He got an agenda in the world which is disruptive, like his agenda at home. They want to come to terms with it,” Moran stated, as he noted that Trump was sent by the American...

The election of Donald Trump has caused the political left to go stark raving mad. There is very little civility among today’s liberals. They were so certain that Hillary Clinton would win the presidency that they are unable to accept the reality of a Trump administration and agenda. In the Congress, there was so much anger that dozens of liberal Democrats boycotted the President’s inauguration. This was an unprecedented display of partisan bitterness. From that day forward, Democrats have refused to work with the new President, instead preferring obstructionism. In the Senate, Democrats delayed confirmation votes on the President’s cabinet...

I've heard that making sausage is a pretty messy, ugly, and unpleasant process to witness. Well, so is implementing real change in Washington, D.C. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I believe that God gave us Trump because I do not believe that a pro politician could pull off dismantling so many leftist sacred cow strongholds at the lighting speed at which Trump is moving. I remember Bahamian actor Sidney Poitier saying when he came to America that he simply pursued his dream, undeterred by supposed limits for blacks. Consequently, in 1964, Poitier became the first black...

They hate you. Leftists don’t merely disagree with you. They don’t merely feel you are misguided. They don’t think you are merely wrong. They hate you. They want you enslaved and obedient, if not dead. Once you get that, everything that is happening now will make sense. And you will understand what you need to be ready to do. You are normal, and therefore a heretic. You refuse to bow to their idols, to subscribe to their twisted catechisms, to praise their false gods. This is unforgivable. You must burn. Crazy talk? Just ask them. Go ahead. Go on social...

"No Trump! No KKK! No Fascist USA!". Damning. Morally righteous. A call to arms against darkness. This is how the new American left views itself and its opposition to President Donald Trump: a bulwark against a perceived tide of evil, where only leftists' pink hats and calls to #resist stand a chance to prevent a historic cataclysm from a caricature of an administration believed to embody all the elements necessary to be categorized as evil. After all, didn't senior counselor to the president Steve Bannon openly admit that "darkness is good"? Reaction to Bannon's quote exemplifies the emotional jockeying of...

We're barely a week and a half into President Trump's administration, and the left is in sheer panic mode. We've seen headlines blaring that Trump instituted a Muslim ban (he didn't). We've seen speculation that the Trump White House's failure to clearly inform the Department of Homeland Security how to implement his immigration executive order amounts to an attempted coup (nope). We've seen accusations that Trump will overthrow the judiciary, run roughshod over Congress and generally make a fascist nuisance of himself. This isn't good for the country. That's because if you think Trump is Literally Hitler, you're more likely...

President Trump issued an executive order on January 27th suspending indefinitely admission of refugees from Syria and halting all potential refugee immigration from six other Islamic countries for a period of 90 days, after which time a significant percentage of 50,000 refugees worldwide could be admitted annually from the Middle East. During this interval, a new process will be put in place to significantly tighten vetting of all refugees from this region while giving preference to persecuted religious minorities. One need only look at the numerous terrorist attacks in Europe over the past year, due almost entirely to their open...

On the day that President Donald Trump was inaugurated, barely over a week ago, many Americans flocked to our nationÂ’s capital to celebrate. And no small number showed up to protest. But there were also some more who mobbed in to destroy property, assault people and disrupt the orderly transfer of executive power. The next day, of course, the WomenÂ’s March on Washington brought in many more to protest. Those peacefully showing their support or opposition to the new president, whether we agree or disagree with their statements, signs or broader political agendas, are part of a proud American tradition...

As you know, the sisterhood of the ya-ya something (and their beta male sidekicks) marched on Washington after President Trump’s fair and balanced electoral college whooping got them all triggery. The point of their march?“...to show our presence in numbers too great to ignore. The Women’s March on Washington will send a bold message to our new government on their first day in office, and to the world that women's rights are human rights. We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us.We support the advocacy and resistance movements that reflect our multiple...
