Among other things... If you illegally enter someone’s house, refuse to leave, and hand them a list of 13 demands, a few things will happen. If you aren’t immediately shot for breaking and entering, you’ll be told to get the hell out. Then, your demands will be mocked, ridiculed, and refused. Finally, the police will be called and you’ll be forcibly removed. You won’t be coddled, indulged, or comforted. You’ll be jettisoned with extreme prejudice. On the other hand, if you illegally enter the United States, you’ll find an army of liberals who are willing to forgive your initial crime,...

Thus making it easier for cops to protect themselves against threats For awhile there, cop-hating liberals and libertarians had themselves a loophole that made it easier to come down on cops who used force in self-defense. According to the so-called “provocation doctrine,” if police had made their way into a situation without satisfying every legal technicality (such as entering a home without a warrant), then they were not necessarily allowed to use deadly force to defend themselves even if another party threatened them with deadly force. In the case in question, police had indeed entered a home without a warrant...

Unconstitutional nature of Nicolas Maduro’s administration, its unwillingness to hold democratic elections and its systematic violation of human rights A key Venezuelan opposition leader is accusing Wall Street investment bank Goldman Sachs of “aiding and abetting the country’s dictatorial regime” by purchasing its government-issued bonds. The allegation, of course, is completely accurate and comes after two months of bloody unrest caused by the failing socialist economy presided over by President Nicolas Maduro. The amoral agenda-setting elitists of Goldman Sachs reportedly purchased $2.8 billion in Venezuelan debt. That apparently includes an $865 million transaction involving debt from state-run oil company PDVSA,...

Nice try, diehards. As you might expect, Kathy Griffin’s lovely little video on TMZ has been met with the sort of universal condemnation you’d expect, with even the most strident anti-Trump Democrats expressing in no uncertain terms that it’s way, way, way, way over the line. Which they should. Because it is. Kathy Griffin has never been funny to begin with, but I guess being paired with Anderson Cooper on New Years Eve gives her a modicum of credibility for reasons entirely unknown to me. For the most part, Griffin’s entire schtick has always been to simply be so annoying...

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now went bankrupt in 2010 after 40 years of systematic voter fraud, corruption, and theft Members of the infamous community organizing outfit ACORN are behind an ambitious, well-funded $80 million anti-Trump network funded by radical currency speculator George Soros.

No amount of land in Arab or Muslim hands is enough. Any amount of land in Israeli/Jewish hands is too much. The narratives would have it: Expansionist Israel! The Jews stole Palestinian land! The Jews Will Take Over the World by Next Thursday the Latest! The next time someone raises the idea of a “Greater Israel” or that the jews are taking over the world, ask them to find Israel on the map. “When the Arabs are doing the killing and the Jews are doing the dying, all is well and good with the world. When the Jews are doing...

If you enjoy these "Democrats shooting themselves in the foot" type stories, then permit me to point you toward the Anwan brothers, who worked for many Democratic members of Congress over a twelve-year period If the idea, or argument, or reality has become that if you wish to disobey the law, if you wish to be above the law, then you must seek political office—then only those with the worst motives will end up with the most power over us. And for any rational, decent, moral human being that is an unbearable situation.—Stefan Molyneux “The Truth About Seth Rich” This...

The media, political establishment, and bureaucratic deep state will stop at nothing to derail the Presiden The media smells blood in the Potomac River. They sense the President they hate could be removed from office. Never mind that he won a landslide, winning electoral votes in 31 states. The media hate the President’s agenda and they hate that he defied their wishes and expectations by winning last November. What has happened since his election is the equivalent of an attempted media coup d’état. According to the Media Research Center (MRC), 89% of the coverage of President Trump by the network...

We should remember it because it was one of the first acts of serious domestic terrorism” Long before Osama bin Laden’s lieutenants flew a hijacked commercial airliner into the Pentagon on 9/11, Muslim terrorists carried out an attack in the heart of Washington, D.C. This week in 1977 armed Islamic militants invaded three Washington, D.C. buildings and took almost 150 people hostage, radio station WTOP reminds us. During the three-day siege that took place on March 9, 10, and 11, a few weeks after Jimmy Carter was sworn in as the nation’s new president, Hanafi Muslims killed two men and...

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz anticipates another vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court will arise in a matter of months. “I think we’ll have another Supreme Court vacancy this summer,” Cruz said at the Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday. “If that happens, as much as the left is crazy now, they will go full Armageddon meltdown because the next vacancy is where we’ll have the ability to act and restore basic constitution protections.” Though Cruz was not more specific, as a former law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist, he enjoys access to a network of former clerks privy to the...

Sorry, not sorry, Fauxcahontas. Elizabeth Warren allegedly rode something of a wave following her oh-so-nefarious “silencing” on the floor of the Senate. If the press was to be believed (they’re not) the decision to shut Warren down was a vile act of misogyny, and breach of decorum, a Nazi-like violation of the 1st Amendment, and a bad political play all rolled into one. It was, we were told, a defining moment that would generate sympathy and catapult her toward the highest office in the land.

'No evidence of criminal wrongdoing' Ever since the stories about Michael Flynn’s conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak heated up, the left has been in a tizzy. Just as they have a hundred times before, they’re thinking “this time we’ve got him.” As per usual, they probably don’t. However, they want to make it appear as though they do, and they want to maintain that perception as long as possible. It’s all part of knee-capping the new administration and de-legitimizing the President. So, the press has been burying the lead like a pirate with a chest full of gold.

We told you on Monday about the special challenge Republicans face in what to do about the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. It’s a totally out of control administrative agency gifted with immense powers by Dodd-Frank, and designed by its architect - Elizabeth Warren - to be almost impossible for a Republican to get a job at. Oh, and Congress is required by statute to fund it. CFPB’s director, left-wing zealot Richard Cordray? The president can fire him only “for cause,” and that’s a lot more complicated than at-will employment. Democrats designed the CFPB this way intentionally during the Obama Administration,...

Up-to-the-minute coverage! Just to bring you the very latest, it’s now six! I don’t want you to miss any updates. Not that you would, with NBC, the Washington Post, NESN and the New York Times all breathlessly covering this story in the past few days. If you’re a New England Patriot and you don’t want to go to the White House because you hate Trump, you’re very big news. Here’s the report the nation needs to fend off the fall of the republic, courtesy of The Hill:

Sad! I love this story. I don’t believe Tom Arnold (The Stupids, Golf Punks) for a second, but I love it. In the grand tradition of Fox Mulder, “I want to believe” that it happened. The idea that Hillary Clinton had a ‘Hitler in the bunker’ moment where she realized all was lost, and her last, great, hope was a desperate phone call to a possibly lying Tom Arnold? That’s a story so juicy and delicious that Mayor Bloomberg would have wanted it banned from New York restaurants.

Anyone who thinks that an Israeli withdrawal from essential territory and this type of Palestine will bring peace and harmony is delusional What is ignored by people advocating a two-state solution is the clear and present danger of Hamas in the West Bank. It is an inconvenient truth for international diplomats pressuring Israel to withdraw from the West Bank that Hamas has a growing presence there.

This woman is a teacher. Let that sink in. Meet Yvette Felarca. She’s a proud advocate of violent thuggery in the pursuit of shutting down speech that she deems unacceptable. If she decides you fit her definition of a fascist - a word she very clearly doesn’t have a handle on - she is in favor of using any and all methods to silence you. If that means assault, rioting, and vandalism, so be it. The irony is painfully obvious.

Throw a spotlight on the hide-y-hole wherever Barack Hussein is stealthily planning his revolution. Smoke him out! Radical Community Organizers should not be allowed to operate from the shadows On the landing page of the Washington Post this morning: “You obviously love great journalism. With special savings on our National Digital Edition, you’ll never miss a story.” The story you shouldn’t miss? ‘The Washington Post’s underhanded “Humbling of a president’.

Failure was the great promise of ObamaCare. Implosion was the plan. Democrats were counting on it Remember: All of this was by design. Failure was the great promise of ObamaCare. Implosion was the plan. Democrats were counting on it, with the intention that Hillary would be in office to pick up the pieces and march the nation over the single-payer cliff. That, of course, is where the plan fell apart.

Crumbling down around us Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard about the proposed merger between health insurance giants Aetna and Humana. It was big news throughout the last year. That plan has now disintegrated, and both companies are re-jiggering their plans as they move on separately. If you think ObamaCare is part of that scenario, think again. Last August, we learned of Aetna’s intentions for the ACA exchanges, and now we know Humana intends to follow suit.
