    I don’t think it helps his case because — it’s sort of like, I always used to say, when the president calls out fake news, I don’t think it helps.'' Spicer was most critical of what he considered Trump’s lack of specificity. ''Similarly, if he sees an instance in Pennsylvania or Nevada, and this particular thing happened, then call it out. But saying that ‘voter fraud’ — I don’t think — it’s not specific,'

    We the media have “fact-checked” President Trump like we have fact-checked no other human being on the planet—and he’s certainly given us plenty to write about. That’s probably why it’s so easy to find lists enumerating and examining his mistakes, missteps and “lies.” But as self-appointed arbiters of truth, we’ve largely excused our own unprecedented string of fact-challenged reporting. The truth is, formerly well-respected, top news organizations are making repeat, unforced errors in numbers that were unheard of just a couple of years ago. Our repeat mistakes involve declaring that Trump’s claims are “lies” when they are matters of opinion,...

    There’s nothing the American right likes better than skewering the crazy libs, and oh boy do they have some content on their hands today. As reported by the Wall Street Journal, three leftist scholars decided to prank academia by submitting satirical papers to very real academic journals in the topical vicinity of something called “grievance culture.” As it turns out, they were phenomenally successful. Read, if you will, the description of this paper by “Helen Wilson” about rape culture among dogs, and note that it was actually published in a journal called Gender, Place, and Culture: The author admits that...

    A group of high school 'mean girls' have admitted to targeting and falsely accusing a boy of sexual assault because they 'just don't like him'. A 26-page federal lawsuit was filed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the eve of October 3 - also known as Mean Girls Day in tribute to the 2004 cult classic - against a clique of five girls at Seneca Valley High School. The boy's parents describe the clique as 'mean girls' who 'conspired in person and via electronic communication devices to falsely accuse [their son] of sexual assault on two occasions.'

    I was not born a constitutionalist. I did not live my life with an inherent understanding of liberty and what is necessary to defend it. I was not raised a Christian. For some, these things will be a stumbling block, so you need to know from me. I was raised a Democrat. The only thing more evil than Satan was a Republican in my home. There were no choices to be made in voting … straight Democrat Party line was the only choice.

According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the former White House aide was shopping in Black Swan Books when another patron came called him a “piece of trash.” Nick Cooke, who owns the store, then reportedly asked the woman to leave, which she refused.

    At least one group is organizing an anti-Trump rally to be held outside the 6,600-seat arena while the president is inside to campaign for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Matt Rosendale against incumbent Democrat Jon Tester. The vast majority of attendees are expected to be Trump supporters in a state that chose him over Democrat Hillary Clinton by 20 percentage points in the 2016 presidential elections.

    An overwhelming majority of likely American voters prefer a free market over a socialist economic system, according to a Rasmussen poll. The poll, which was conducted at the beginning of the month, revealed that 74 percent of the people surveyed support a free market. Conversely, only 13 percent of people questioned would prefer a socialist economic system. Another 13 percent said they were undecided.

    Barring a zombie apocalypse, alien invasion or Hillary being indicted for her crimes by the Obama-run DOJ (which is about as likely as the first two), Donald Trump is not going to be the next president. Even if Hillary’s horrible cough turns out to be a symptom of some fatal disease, Trump still won’t be elected because whoever her vice president turns out to be will still beat him.

    Lexington is a politically blue spot surrounded by a sea of red. It went with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the 2016 president election by a 2-1 margin. As the burial site of Confederate Gens. Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, Lee-Jackson Day festivities stoke strong emotions and debate. “I believe this city is losing its identity,” said Simon Islam, a senior at Washington and Lee University, which is in Lexington. “It’s become too liberal, and it’s had a negative impact.” John Findlay, executive director of the Republican Party of Virginia, showed up with a roll of Trump 2020...

    f the Muellerites lose the discovery litigation and are faced with having to disclose sensitive intelligence about the case and their investigation, should they withdraw the indictment against Concord? And, if they drop the charges, are they prepared for the resulting public relations disaster? Bottom line: how did such a purportedly smart bunch of lawyers get themselves into this fix?

    The Stream ^ | August 2017 | Michael Brown
    During a TV interview in 2011, I quoted the words of a Christian lawyer who said that just as gay activists were once put in jail, they now want to put us in jail. For making this comment, I was vilified by Right Wing Watch, mocked by gay activists, and ridiculed by others. I wonder what those critics are saying today in light of a recently proposed California bill that would send nursing home caregivers to jail for “misgendering” their nursing home patients. As a Daily Caller headline announces, “California Could Start Jailing People Who Don’t Use Transgender Pronouns.”
