So are any of you watching "The Five" now? What's with the Biggot Juan Williams? Early in the show, Kimberly was forming her opinion, giving us the facts about ISIS and Obama,and Juan decides to start talking Five Seconds Later! and kept trying to make Kimberly look like a buffoon on live TV. Its a wonder FOX hasn't fired Juan yet! He frequently interrupts every host as they take their turn to speak. Seems like Juan is getting paid by some Liberals to talk over all of the hosts As Much As Possible!

Lockheed Martin has been given the green light to build its radical hybrid airship that will launch in 2018. The US Federal Aviation Administration has this week approved a certification plan developed by the company, taking it one step closer to starting commercial deliveries. Lockheed says the airships can transport heavy cargo to remote locations, burn significantly less fuel than conventional aircraft and land on any flat surface, including sand, snow and water.

Micro-Prepping: Final Call. If you're reading these pages, you know it's coming. You probably also think it's close -- very close.

In a profit warning that sent its stock down as much as 7% Thursday, UnitedHealth Group Inc. said that not enough people are signing up under the exchanges set up by Obamacare and that it was considering withdrawing from them. But there was another factor behind the lowered outlook from the nation’s biggest health insurer: people signing up after the open-enrollment period that have higher claims. Or, less charitably—people are gaming Obamacare. In UnitedHealth’s UNH, -5.44% words: “We have identified higher levels of individuals coming in and out of the exchange system to use medical services.” This isn’t supposed to...

INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) - Former Subway sandwich chain pitchman Jared Fogle on Thursday was sentenced to 15-1/2 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to child pornography and sex charges. Fogle, who became famous after losing weight on a diet that included sandwiches from the fast-food chain, agreed in August to a deal with prosecutors under which he would plead guilty to charges of child pornography and traveling for illicit paid sex with minors. Fogle agreed in court on Thursday to avoid pornography, get sexual disorder treatment and will be a registered sex offender. U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt also...

I was listening to a podcast last night of Savage's show, which was broadcast yesterday. Savage was discussing the ongoing Muslim invasion of Europe and the U.S. At one point, referring to Obama, Savage said, "G-d only knows who he represents". Later Savage was discussing the amazing fact that recently, before US planes attacked ISIS fuel trucks, leaflets were dropped (by the US) to warn the ISIS truck drivers, allowing them to escape "to fight another day". Savage, then said, "Why would you leaflet the enemy before bombing then"? "I personally think", Savage said, "he's fighting for the other side"....

American Christians are under constant attack by the Government. In schools, at official events and in our day to day business operations, we are called intolerant and forced to abide by a set of rules which are not Constitutional.

A war is being fought in Europe and not a single shot has been fired. The Muslims are winning. This is what happens when government takes away your firearms. The citizens of each country are defenseless. Could this be why our Muslim in Chief wants to take away our guns?

As Americans are shocked and horrified by the carnage of another extremist Islamic attack in Paris-this one far worse than the Charlie Hebdo and Kosher market massacres-one of America's most popular rifles is once again on the frontline in the war against terror. And it's not a gun familiar from the nightly news. That gun is a nearly 30-year-old variant of the Ruger Mini-14 called the Mousqueton A.M.D., the latter is an abbreviation for Armement Moyen de Defense. The veteran rifles from Ruger have appeared on broadcasts around the world in hands of helmeted French police. And the guns are...

While the media fixates on supposed Republican disarray—the Washington Post recently declared breathlessly that the GOP is “on the verge of ceasing to function as a national political party”—Republicans are actually quietly wielding (and consolidating) more political power than either party has held in decades. Democrats currently hold the presidency, and are exercising its powers energetically. But outside of the White House, as the liberal stalwart Matt Yglesias notes in a perceptive piece for Vox, the Democratic Party’s position is extraordinarily weak: The presidency is extremely important, of course. But there are also thousands of critically important offices all the...

Soucheray: It's time to pound your fist, Obama. And mean it. Pioneer Press POSTED: 11/18/2015 12:01:00 AM CST | Joe Soucheray: Those booms, that smell - it's always something After the carnage in Paris, French president Francois Hollande, acting against stereotype, launched what was called a ferocious assault by air of targets in Raqqa, Syria, the Islamic State's de facto capital. French warplanes dropped 20 bombs on facilities used by ISIS, including a command center, a military training facility and an arms depot, the French military said. A group of anti-ISIS activists in Raqqa, as they are wont to do,...

Islam: A Permanent World WarOn the evening of Friday November 13th 2015, Paris was shaken by a coordinated series of extremely brutal Islamic terror attacks that left at least 129 people dead and hundreds wounded. It is strongly suspected that the Jihadist group known as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) was behind these bloody attacks against multiple targets in the French capital.[1] This happened after the city had barely recovered from the Islamic massacre on the staff of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo some months earlier. image[Jihad attack in Paris, November 13 2015 On October...

Some say it's like something out of a science fiction movie, others say it's from another world. But the bizarre and dangerous sea creature a woman discovered washed ashore at Broadbeach along the Gold Coast of Australia is actually a blue dragon. Lucinda Fry came across the creepy, electric-blue sea slug in Queensland and captured video of the little sea creature, which Daily Mail Australia posted: [video at link] The nudibranch is not that big, measuring 1.2 inches at maturity, but it packs a punch. "I have handled them before and wasn't stung, but I would not recommend anyone pick...

In these dark and darkening days it is not the flowers that are floundering but those who wear flowers in their hair. This might seem counter-intuitive, considering that the hippy counter-culture, with its creed of "anything goes" and "do your own thing," appears to have triumphed in the corridors of power and in the formerly hallowed halls of the Supreme Court. Having had their wicked way, the children of the counter-culture have "progressed" from the killing of babies to the killing of marriage. Soon, perhaps, they may "progress" to the killing of Christians, which is where such "progress" in the...

WACO -- Tuesday was the sixth month anniversary of the Twin Peaks Shooting, one of the deadliest days Waco has ever seen. Around noon on May 17, 2015 nine bikers were killed and at least 18 more were wounded in the shootout at the Waco restaurant. Many believe not enough has been done in the past six months, while others say justice takes time. The time has been filled with lawsuits, conspiracy theories, threats, video leaks and rallies. A week prior, out of the 106 cases presented to a Waco grand jury, 106 bikers were indicted for engaging in organized...

In yet another tragic citizen shooting by police. This time a father was beat, tazed, maced and ultimately shot several times..for what crime you ask? For merely refusing to allow a deputy into his residence at 3:40 in the morning without a proper search warrant. Do our constitutional rights already mean nothing? It is beyond time to start holding these rouge officers responsible for their actions. In this and so many more just this month those actions look to be murder (at times even executions.) It is time for us to start demanding that the Sheriffs and Police Chiefs rein...

Many people here, and probably most people in the country cannot, for the life of them, understand why Trump is doing so well in the Republican Primary race, considering some of the things that Trump has said and done, such as his attack on Megan Kelly, his telling Republicans to "get over it" regarding gay marriage (I'm paraphrasing here, since I'm too lazy to look everything up), his crazy idea that Mexico will pay to have a wall built on our border, and many other things. But perhaps people are looking in the wrong places. Perhaps we need to look...

Okay, how many "refugees" is Saudi Arabia taking in? Egypt, Oman, Qatar, UAE, Algeria, Morocco, Tunsia? Jordan? All these countries are Arab speaking, Sunni, culturally and religiously similar to the vast majority of the "refugees" from Syria. We housed, fed, clothed, educated and pampered the Tsarnaevs. How did the purported refugees repay us? The worthless sons became terrorists, the mother and daughter shoplifting gimme girls, the father a shiftless alcoholic. When they were not taking vacations on our dime back in the land they allegedly had a "well founded" fear of persecution in. Let the Arabs take care of their...

It would seem to me that if a Paris type terrorist incident occurred between now and election day in this country, the overwhelming majority of voters (even brain-dead liberals) would vote overwhelming for the GOP candidate on election day.

In a new McClatchy-Marist poll, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) leads Republican candidate Donald Trump by a landslide margin of 12 percentage points, 53 to 41. In the McClatchy poll, Sanders also leads former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) by a landslide margin of 10 points, 51 to 41. The huge Sanders advantage over Trump is not new. In the last four match-up polls between them reported by Real Clear Politics, Sanders defeated Trump by margins of 12, 9, 9 and 2 percentage points. It is shocking that the data suggests that Sanders has a lead over Trump...
