Speak for yourself, Joe . . . On today’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough claimed “we all know” that President Trump is being “blackmailed” by Vladimir Putin. Here’s Scarborough: “Donald Trump sat there, and was obsequious to Vladimir Putin . . . We all know that Vladimir Putin is holding something over Donald Trump. We do not know what it is. But we know it must be something extraordinary, because no rational politician, no rational president would act this way if he weren’t being blackmailed on some level . . . I know that even Donald Trump supporters know by this...

Media darling and Democrat Senator Kamala Harris tweeted on Monday about the power of the Supreme Court. Kamala Harris: Two decades after Brown v. Board, I was only the second class to integrate at Berkeley public schools. Without that decision, I likely would not have become a lawyer and eventually be elected a Senator from California. That’s the power a Supreme Court Justice holds. There’s just one problem — Everything about that tweet is a lie.

Opposition research being sent around about President Trump’s second nominee to the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, accuses him of calling Hillary Clinton a bitch 21 years ago–in a private setting among friends where he was allegedly seen to mouth the b-word but not actually say it. The fate of Kavanaugh’s nomination to the high court apparently depends on whether this is seen as a resume enhancer or a nomination killer. The Washington Post’s Robert Costa tweeted several days ago about a snippet from a book by former conservative journalist turned Democratic Party activist David Brock about a gathering he attended...

When a liberal WaPo columnist urges red-state Dem senators to confirm President Trump's Supreme Court pick, you know the fight is over . . . On this evening's Hardball, liberal, pro-choice, Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus urged red-state Dem senators to vote to confirm President Trump's SCOTUS nominee. Marcus said it would be a "suicide mission" for red-state Dems to vote Trump's pick. That's how you know confirmation is a done deal. Marcus said she'd be "stunned" if any Republican senator, including pro-choicers like Collins or Murkowski voted against Trump's pick. Continued Marcus: "why would Democrats in those red states go...

HISTORY’S BAD IDEAS ARE AN INSPIRATION FOR PROGRESSIVES, Victor Davis Hanson writes: Yet 19th-century nullification is the font of the current “sanctuary city” law adopted by nearly 500 American cities that declare federal immigration...

Cook County Circuit Judge William Hooks is a bigger scumbag than the four scumbags who kidnapped and tortured a learning disabled man in Chicago In January of this year in Chicago, two black men and two black women kidnapped a learning disabled white man, imprisoned him, tortured him, cut off part of his scalp, forced him to drink from the toilet, demanded ransom from his parents, and posted part of the torture as a video on Facebook. They also called him racial slurs, which puts this into the hate crime category.Well, one of these scumbags has just been sentenced to probation...

The Trump supporters pointed the racists to the exit. There was a MAGA rally today in Louisville, Kentucky. Alt-right racists showed up and were quickly shown the door. Amazing video via :

A Boynton Beach man was punched and dragged down the street by a Democrat driver in a car for having a Trump flag in his yard. Thanks Maxine. WPTV reported: A fun night of fireworks was ruined for a Boynton Beach man. Jeff Good says he was attacked for having a President Trump flag in his yard. Good said he was watching fireworks in his driveway when someone drove in front of his house and started yelling at him about President Trump. “He was saying vile things about our president,” said Good. The driver of the car then told Good...

Looks like the two sides of the North Korean nuclear crisis have their wires crossed. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo led two days of talks with the Kim regime and offered a positive take on progress as he left Pyongyang. The North Koreans disagreed: BREAKING: North Korea Foreign Ministry says talks with Pompeo 'regrettable,' accuses US of unilateral demands for denuclearization.— The Associated Press (@AP) July 7, 2018 North Korea says high-level talks with a U.S. delegation led by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were “regrettable” and has accused Washington of trying to unilaterally pressure the country into abandoning...

The Humanization of Animals From the beginning of domestication, our ancestors in their great wisdom worked hard to erect a barrier between animals and humans in order to avoid falling into the trap of animal humanization and the very damaging sentimentality that accompanies it, as much for animals as for humans. Since animals are not inert objects that can be exploited at will without any risk of illness, injury, and environmental damage, it was necessary for reasons of common sense to take precautions to avoid the worst. PETER SINGER But for the past fifty years or so, animal advocates, such...

Joe Crowley did a Hillary Clinton, when he took it for granted he was going to win. Democratic primary winner for New York’s 14th district Democratic primary winner for New York’s 14th district Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was a surprise, but youth is showing that she isn’t a Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Not calling for unity of the people, she is listening to what she may believe is mentoring, but her words are not the ones that the Creator, nor the non humans of this planet want to hear. A politician who really dosesn’t know the planet she lives on or the people...

The Democratic Socialists of America supports the same policies that have destroyed Venezuela’s ability to feed itself The New York Times just published this article, which is titled “The Millennial Socialists Are Coming.” The article talks about the growing popularity of socialism among Millennials, and points out several examples of socialist candidates beating long term Democrats in primary elections.The New York Times article includes this link to the constitution and bylaws of the Democratic Socialists of America. Here is a brief excerpt from it (the bolding is mine):“We are socialists because we reject an economic order based on private profit, alienated...

Get the hook! Joe Scarborough needs to find a new shtick. His routine of endlessly repeating a given word to make his point is wearing–very–thin. On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough’s word ‘o the day was “unhinged.” Have a look at my YouTube mash-up. By my count, Scarborough used “unhinged” 21 times during the opening segment to denounce House Republicans and President Trump.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

For the reporters who are putting their faces all over Youtube, and calling out the Trump administration for the crimes of the Obama/Clinton/Bush administrations. Trump didn’t create the wars that have displaced millions from their home countries. Trump administration didn’t set up the immigration centers! Trump administration wasn’t responsible for the missing tax dollars that are said to be funding these nonprofit organizations that need to be audited! While most of the world is googling over the wide ass of a Kardashion or one of the many kidlets they are popping out, you don’t see any of them taking the...

Vice reported: The co-owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, has had a hell of a time since she decided to 86 Sarah Huckabee Sanders from her restaurant on Friday, coming under attack from an army of Trump supporters. But despite all the backlash she’s gotten from the right, Stephanie Wilkinson says she doesn’t regret a thing. “I would have done the same thing again,” she told the Washington Post. “We just felt there are moments in time when people need to live their convictions. This appeared to be one.” When Sanders came to the Red Hen with...

More blame-the-victim from the MSM. On Saturday, we noted Politico accusing Sarah Sanders of an “attack” for having tweeted about being kicked out of the Red Hen. Maggie Haberman of the NYT/CNN did something similar on CNN this morning. She shrugged off the restaurant owner’s ejection of Sanders, while accusing Sanders, by tweeting, of doing something “very, very dangerous.” Haberman:MP> “It’s about as civil a form of incivility as you could have seen . . . Using a government account to tweet to three million followers about the name of the restaurant feels very, very dangerous.”Get the rest of the...

George Will has been writing columns for a long, long time, and has been considered a highly influential columnist on the right. But I never have read him much; I'm not sure why, but he just never appealed to me.You'd think he would appeal to me. After all, when I experienced my political change, I considered myself (and still do consider myself, in certain ways) to be a relatively moderate conservative. Will was supposedly a moderate as well. But I found his writing boring and uninsightful for the most part.Just now I wondered whether I just wasn't remembering correctly. Maybe...

Please, Nancy Pelosi: take Donny Deutsch’s advice. Accuse half of America of being Nazis . . . Donny Deutsch thinks that the way for Democrats to win hearts, minds and votes in 2018 is to tell Americans that if they support Trump, they’re like “Nazis.” On today’s Morning Joe, Deutch proposed that Democrats adopt this as their 2018 strategy: “If we are working towards November, we can no longer say, Trump’s the bad guy. If you vote for Trump, you’re the bad guy . . . If you vote for Trump then you, the voter, you, not Donald Trump, are...

Following Melania Trump weighing in on the emotionally charged debate about border separations, trashy washed up comedian Kathy Griffin lost her mind on Twitter, calling the First Lady a “feckless complicit piece of s–t.”

If the average citizens were saying the things that judges, politicians, many of the millionaires, and most of the billionaires are, they would already have lawsuits against them for defamation of character and slander. How long can a crime continue to be publicized and not be spoken about? Where is the news…there owned by sore losers who wanted Hillary to win. Retaliation? Get their paid puppets to generate fake news, ask stupid questions, and keep the President from want he really wants to do. How long will the attacks verbally go on? Two responses to President Trump’s reaction to being...
