Hillary 2020 - "She's full of energy!" It’s a really simple question. “If Hillary Clinton is up for another presidential run, would that be a good thing for your party?” That’s about as easy a “yes or no” softball as you’re likely to see. A first year poli-sci major would know enough to answer “Sure! We’re a big party with a wide array of diverse voices. Debate is always welcome. If she’s up for another run, we’d love to have her in the mix.”

The media fools telling you that simply don't know how the tax code works. For the past 18 hours or so, the mainstream media has joined online lefty sites with the seemingly big news that the 10-year Trump budget plan contains a $2 trillion “math error” that makes the premise of the entire thing totally laughable. What they’re telling you is that the White House counted the same positive numbers twice - once assuming that economic growth would render tax rate cuts revenue neutral, and then counting the same economic growth as the cause of an entirely different $2 trillion...

The Good the Bad and the Gowdy When Trey Gowdy’s name was mentioned as a possible replacement for fired FBI Director James Comey, I scoffed. Floating Gowdy was a smart play from the White House, since they know the base loves him, but I didn’t buy it for a second. There are several reasons for that, but at the top of the list is “why would he want to do that? Congress is a nice cushy gig.” Gowdy currently sits on the Oversight Committee, where his brutal interrogations make for riveting YouTube gold. Clips of him grilling the players in...

The globalist elites are running out of time because Jeff Sessions is onto them and will not stop until their sinister plan to destroy America is exposed and they are defeated. LOCK THEM ALL UP! James Comey’s stunning televised judgment against prosecuting Hillary Clinton was not a decision to protect the Clinton crime family or Comey’s personal and family involvement with the Clintons over decades. It was a battle tactic designed to protect Barack Hussein Obama - the globalist elite’s presidential puppet on a string. Barack Obama is not the prime mover of anything - he is a malignant narcissist...

Black magic goes up in flames when we pray. I put a prayer on you, “I-put-a-spell-on-you-Mr-President Diana Wagman. My prayer is not meant to harm you, but only to keep you and thousands of witches from succeeding at their task of spell-binding, through black magic, the President of the United States of America. Prayer is so much more powerful than “A Spell to Bind Donald Trump and All Those Who Abet Him” under each waning crescent moon at midnight, and very much worth it. People who pray, don’t need itty bitty orange candle stubs when speaking directly to the Almighty....

Terrorism is only “part and parcel” of urban life for elitist politicians who have no plan or desire to put a stop to criminal corruption, violence, criminal activity or terrorism Apparently feckless, neutered police are also impacting safety and security in the United Kingdom, and not just on California college campuses. The horrific Manchester bombing at the Arianna Grande concert Monday evening, which killed at least 22 and injured more than 150, might have been prevented if politically correct fecklessness within government wasn’t so rampant. Adding to the fecklessness and politics, London Mayor Sadiq Khan said terrorism is “part and...

The time for talk is over. The time for mindless platitudes is over! The time for action is way past due. God forgive me. I was enjoying a rare respite from my work yesterday, when my senses were suddenly assaulted with the news of yet another terrorist slaughter — this time of at least 22, mostly young people and little children, at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. Here we go again! How many families, how many children, how many brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, mothers, and fathers need to die in senseless mass murders before the political class will...

ISIS calls the now-aerosolized bomber a "soldier of the Caliphate" Islamic State has taken responsibility for the suicide bombing yesterday of the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, that left at least 22 people dead and 59 others wounded, reports John Rossomando of the Investigative Project on Terrorism. Many of the dead and injured are young girls. Islamic State, also known as ISIS, ISIL, and Daesh, boasted Tuesday about its involvement in the Muslim terrorist attack, referring to the now-aerosolized bomber as a “soldier of the Caliphate.”

Their message to Americans: You can't do anything for yourself, and you will die if the government doesn't provide for you Did you know you will not have anything to eat if the government doesn’t give you something? Did you know there’s no way to get health care if the government doesn’t provide you with insurance? Did you know that you will be thrown into poverty if you’re not the beneficiary of a government welfare program? Did you know all this? Neither did I. Because it’s all nonsense. But now that President Trump’s full budget proposal is out, House Democrats...

Shocker Early this morning, liberals were already doing the “this isn’t really Islam” dance. They were all over social media with the standard “don’t jump to conclusions” shtick, but a quick look at the news told you most of what needed to know. We’ve seen this same scene play out time and again. It’s an exhausting pattern we witnessed in Nice, The Bataclan, The Boston Marathon, etc. Then, when we learned they knew the identity of the terrorist, but weren’t releasing it, we had all the info we needed. It was only a matter of time before ISIS claimed responsibility...

Ahmed Mohamed and his "clock" The child exploited by CAIR and President Barack Hussein Obama to create the false impression that America is a seething hotbed of Muslim-hatred had his nonsensical religious discrimination lawsuit tossed by a federal judge in Dallas. I am referring to Ahmed Mohamed, the teenaged poster boy for “Islamophobia” whom the Council on American-Islamic Relations relentlessly pimped as a victim. In fact, Mohamed is a bomb hoaxer called Clock Boy by some.

So..the media is awful everywhere, eh? Oh. So, a solid understanding of the media’s bias, agenda, and reckless disregard for reality isn’t just a thing here in the United States? ...And here I thought we were the only people at odds with the blatant hackery of our press. Good to know it’s not just us.

Deep State is, in fact as old as greed, and as shallow as the lowest of political vices The concept of “deep state” is nothing new. While the origins of the term are often attributed to Turkish “derin devlet” (1990), cryptocracy was already known to ancient Romans and Athenians. Cicero came up with very contemporary-sounding questions: “To what length will you abuse our patience (Catiline)? How long is that madness of yours still to mock us? “, in 63B.C when a Roman senator used “status in statu” in his bid for power. The causes of conspiracy also ring a bell:...

Maximum CNN There’s a question that Democrats love to ask whenever they don’t control the White House. Kids are, as we’ve been told a thousand times, our most precious national resource. It takes a village to raise them. So, whenever they’re faced with the horrors of a Republican President, Dems want to know: What are the children thinking? Oh, woe. Woe to the children! They’re being forced to live through the Trump presidency! The guy has only been in office a few months, and already the scars are piling up. One wonders how they can even sleep at night, knowing...

Comey is an incompetent, lying slimeball far more interested in Washington politics and staying in the media spotlight than in doing the right thing. Good riddance President Trump is draining the swamp. On the advice of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and from Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, President Trump has terminated the employment of FBI Director James Comey, effective immediately. Here is thetext of the president’s letter to Comey:

Part 2: “Health is a basic American right,” makes for nice rhetoric but lousy policy. In the first post in this series I took Ben Stein to task for suggesting on “Your World with Neil Cavuto” that single-payer health care protects people with preexisting conditions. During his appearance, Stein also let this gem drop: “It is a basic American right to have decent health care. That is a basic right. We live in a very rich country…and the idea that any parent who sees his child born with a serious defect will think, ‘My God, I might not be able...

Persistence and truth, that's what. Hillary Clinton is still in denial as to why she lost the 2016 presidential election. She and other liberals are also in denial that President Trump and his administration are having a positive impact on this nation. As a result, Hillary has indicated she will be a part of the resistance. My question is resistance to what? What don’t they like about a positive tone from the top, business growth, shrinking unemployment, a shrinking federal bureaucracy, enhanced national security, a robust stock market, and coming soon, a robust growing economy?

According to the gun-control left, this never happens. The “good guys with guns” scenario is pure fiction. In fact, when someone tries to use their own gun to stop a bad guy, what usually ends up happening is that he ends up shooting himself! There is no end to the left’s ability to imagine virtuous, God-fearing Americans as completely inept clowns.

America needs a Hillary PAC like it needed a Hillary presidency. But foreign donors are less interested in giving Clinton Foundation money now that Chelsea is the heir to the throne. Chelsea has all the charisma of a drunken poodle As a poor black Southern Yankees fan who came under sniper fire in Bosnia, would anyone expect any less from Hillary Clinton? Talking to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour at the Women for Women International Luncheon, she announced, “I’m now back to being an activist citizen and part of the resistance.”

Thanks Obama. Thanks Kerry. Back when the Obama administration was doing the full court press in support of its Iran nuclear “deal,” we were told that, sure, some of the money would fund terrorism, but most of it would go into Iran’s economy. We knew this, because that’s what the trustworthy folks running Iran told us. As former Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken put it… “We know. We’ve seen it. We see what they’re saying. We see how they are spending it and what they’ve told us. But also what we see is that instead of going to the...
