    As we showed you earlier, a storm broke out at the very moment Sen. John McCain's casket was carried into the Capitol rotunda. This is how that looked on radar.

    If you are tired of Google and Silicon Valley censorship, I suggest that you do as I do: 1. For search, I use duckduckgo.com. You can add this as an app to your phone and use it on your PC as well. It acts like the old google search and claims not to track or show bias. 2. For my browser, instead of Chrome, Explorer or Safari, I use Brave.com. Again, no tracking and no bias that I am aware of. 3. For news, I go to realclearpolitics.com and its sister sites such as realclearworld.com. Here you will find links...

    US Marshalls Service code | 8-30-2018 | fightu4it
    It has come to my attention that "anyone over the age of 18 who is not a party to the case" can serve a federal subpoena. Now I am certain that the US Marshalls Service is very busy nowadays and could use a hand, and some extra funding. Here is the plan: With the blessing of the Marshalls Service some well meaning Americans will offer a lottery at $20.00 a ticket, no limits, with the proceeds going to the Marshalls Service. The winner of the lottery would get to serve Hillary Clinton her subpoena. (must be 18 to enter)
  • MDOT shares photos of motorcycle that drove into wet concrete as a reminder

    Bath Township, MICHIGAN (WJRT) - (08/21/2018) - The Michigan Department of Transportation tweeted out photos of a motorcycle on I-69 missing its driver. MDOT is using the photos as reminder of the importance of driving safety in work zones as the busy construction season is wrapping up. Their Facebook Post, which has generated thousands of responses and shares, asks if you have lost a motorcycle driving on I-69 in Clinton County Monday. One of the photos, which appears to show tire imprints in wet concrete, serves as a reminder of why it's not a good idea to use closed lanes...

    I was going to send flowers but have decided instead to send a contribution to Trump 2020. Even in your final days on this good earth you spewed anger and hate. Now I hear that Sarah Palin, a loyal VP running mate, is not invited to your funeral. Have a nice day.- Sincerely, just one of the millions who had no choice but to cast their vote for you in 08.
  • Vanity: Laura Loomer Asking Questions about the Strange Muslim NM Compound

    08/29/2018 6:32:47 PM PDT · by TigerClaws · 61 replies
    Something very weird is happening in New Mexico. This is going to sound crazy. But I think FBI is training jihadis with hopes that they attack Americans so that the Democrats call for more gun control. They destroyed the compound & are letting the suspects go. Think about it. 2:32 PM - 29 Aug 2018 Laura Loomer ‏ @LauraLoomer 4h4 hours ago Why would they destroy the compound? How did nobody notice a giant compound in the desert? How come Islamic suspects are getting away with planning an attack on Americans? How come the FBI won’t hold a press conference?...

  • Trump wins again....McSally & Ducey win primary election in Arizona.

    POTUS Trump endorsed candidates win in Arizona this evening. Republican, Martha McSally (Senate) & Republican, Doug Ducey (Governor) have easily won their primary races tonight. McSally will go on to be elected Senator from Arizona and, Ducey will be easily re-elected and maintain his Governor position. No Democrat "Blue Wave" in Arizona!!! Ducey will soon declare who he is appointing to serve the remainder of the Senate term of passed on, Senator John McCain. Hopefully he will appoint Ms. Kelli Ward to that assignment, rather then a McCain family member.

    YAKIMA, Wash. -- The Yakima Police Department is asking the public to help find the person who vandalized a department-sponsored mural in downtown Yakima. “This beautiful new artwork was recently graffiti’d on,” police said in a Monday Twitter post. Located at Sixth Street and East Lincoln Avenue, the mural was commissioned by several officers in the Yakima Police Department’s Gang Prevention Unit. It is the first piece of graffiti art to be commissioned by the city, and says “Yakima” in large purple letters. The mural was vandalized less than a week after it was highlighted in the Herald-Republic in a...

    During the Cold War, the USSR and the USA competed in every way. A secret road race was held with the only two entrants; the USSR and the USA. The USA car won handily. The official newspaper of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Pravda, (which means truth), had the following headline the next morning: "USSR finishes second, USA is next to last."Today, that would be the CNN headline.
  • Great thread about midterms

    Thread by @ThomasWictor: (1) I've spoken about this before, but let me give you a real-world example of what @realDonaldTrump and @GOPChairwoman are doing. On June 12, 2014, the Iraqi armed forces collapsed. (2) Over 30,000 men stripped off their uniforms and ran from 850 Islamic State terrorists, leaving behind all their weapons, including tanks and heavy artillery. (3) The Kurds took advantage of this collapse--and I mean MILITARILY took advantage--and seized the oil-rich city of Kirkuk. Kurdish peshmerga seize a chaotic victory in Kirkuk Police loyal to Nouri al-Maliki are powerless to stop looting after Iraqi Kurds gain control...

    Insanity: Despite the fact that you could bury the world’s trash in a minuscule portion of the Earth, Left-wing environmental wackos are hell-bent on getting as many modern conveniences banned or regulated as possible. In recent months they’ve managed to convince liberal lawmakers and policymakers that plastic straws will destroy the planet if they are not banned from at least some major cities. Now these same goofballs are coming after another party favorite: Balloons.
  • A "Trumpster" "Blue Collar" street guy scores big in Connecticut Senator Primary.

    Republican, maverick, Matthew Cory has been declared the winner of the Republican U.S. Senate primary in the great state of Connecticut, this evening. He will face, the boring useless, incompetent, do nothing, Trump hating, Democrat, Chris Murphy, who has been declared a "safe seat" for the Democrat Party. Mr. Cory is a blue collar worker, a building window washer and owner of a local bar. He has little money or funds for campaigning. Thus far, he has held local, small, little house meetings as best he could. But...I think folks in Connecticut have taken heed of this talented, self-taught, human...

    It's tempting to think of the beard as a kind of "return to our ancestral roots" (ironic), but it's not quite as simple as that. Don't kid yourself, hairy paleo diet dude who just can't squeeze a shave between CrossFit sessions. Cavemen plucked their beards with clam shells, Little Mermaid-style, exhibiting a degree of care and attention that so many men today seem happy to dismiss. Men throughout the ages have oscillated between beard-having and not-having, from Alexander the Great's shaven soldiers, to the bushy-chinned Victorians. If the men in my life are anything to go by, there are several...
