Remember when we used to have such high hopes for Paul Ryan? Back in 2012, we cheered Mitt Romney for picking him as his running mate. Yay! Paul Ryan was bringing some much-needed conservative bona fides to the ticket, all is well. Fast forward five years, and many of us look on in bemusement as the once golden boy becomes more and more of the problem. Take today, for instance. The now Speaker of the House is preparing for a CNN town hall in Racine, Wisconsin, the focus of which will undoubtedly turn to the events last weekend in Charlottesville...

The bike helmet guy comes up and challenges either the cameraman or the reporter to a fight. Then, he assaults the cameraman right in front of police officers while being filmed. That's just too much goodness in one video. But, it gets better. The police come over and arrest the man... who claims "self-defense."

Friday evening’s Donald Trump rally in Chicago was broken up by a foul-mouthed mob that infiltrated the hall and forced the cancellation of the event to prevent violence and bloodshed. Brownshirt tactics worked. The mob, triumphant, rejoiced. Friday night cried out for moral clarity. What we got from Trump’s rivals was moral mush that called to mind JFK’s favorite quote from Dante: The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in time of moral crisis maintain their neutrality. As news outlets have reported, Friday’s disruption at the University of Illinois-Chicago auditorium was a preplanned assault. Behind it were...

Violence broke out over the weekend at several Donald Trump campaign rallies. Leftwing thugs battled with police in Chicago and St. Louis. One unhinged lunatic tried to storm the stage at a rally in Dayton, Ohio. He was stopped by Secret Service agents. Heaven only knows what he would’ve done had he gotten a hold of Mr. Trump. To be clear – what happened over the weekend was not just an attack on Mr. Trump. It was an attack on the First Amendment. But instead of condemning the professional hooligans -- the political chattering class condemned Mr. Trump. A despondent...

During President Obama's speech in Maryland today, a student yelled "You're a liar!" from the crowd when the President accused Republicans of causing the recession. He was immediately shoved and cursed out by the crowd of supporters. At 0:27 seconds into the video a large man shoves him very hard from behind.

Allende: The Untold Story By Humberto Fontova FrontPageMagazine.com | December 14, 2006 To read the mainstream media lately you'd think Augusto Pinochet's villainous henchmen, while twirling their pointy black moustaches and snickering maliciously, overthrew a Chilean "President" (Salvador Allende) somewhere on the order of Jimmy Carter. Then they lined up 3000 harmless sociology professors and innocent leftist parliamentarians and shot them, for the sheer heck of it. The real story, as you might imagine, is a tad more complicated—despite the media/academia Black Legend regarding Chile. Upon Stalin's death in 1953, Chilean Communists held a "Homage to Stalin" in Santiago's Baquedano...

There are plans to appoint senior Zimbabwe military officers to the ruling Zanu-PF's top decision-making body, the politburo, Zimbabwe's The Standard newspaper has revealed. President Robert Mugabe appears intent on forging ahead with plans to militarise all state institutions ahead of his retirement. The militarisation of the ruling party will also see its central committee having a large representation of retired army officers. Mugabe, according to sources close to him, is in favour of a heavily militarised post-Mugabe era. The military is gradually assuming a significant role in the running of the country, with serving and retired soldiers serving on...

Microsoft giant Bill Gates should pick up stakes and move to the Peoples Republic of China. Gates should relocate to the world’s next superpower because that’s where his loyalties seem to be. In a gaggle of business moves that underline allegiance to Communist China, Microsoft has now erased the popular Anti-Blog. Bloggers, who broke the story of the American giant and its deals with Beijing, are picking up the interest of the mainstream media
