America is still reeling from the on-air execution of Alison Parker and Adam Ward. While doing their jobs, both were slain by a devout racist and former colleague of their. The thoughts and prayers of everyone at PolitiStick go out to the families of these victims. It’s a senseless crime and it’s natural to try and make sense of such heinousness. The shooter, a homosexual black man, authored a 23-page manifesto clearly explaining his racial motivations for killing the two straight white people. And though America became engulfed in a rage of race-obsessed hysteria after the Dylann roof shooting, few...

FULL TITLE: Father Pavone’s Abolishing Abortion hits bookshelves today – Pro-life manifesto calls upon the Church and State to protect unborn children Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life and a long-time pro-life activist, has long said he’s not just fighting abortion, he’s working to end it. His new book, Abolishing Abortion: How You Can Play a Part in Ending the Greatest Evil of Our Day (Thomas Nelson, HarperCollins Christian Publishing), released today, outlines a strategy to end abortion in the United States. In the book, Father Pavone explores biblical, moral, historical, and legal reasons Christians belong in...

Oklahoma City, OK - A great time. Most of us got our picture taken with him, too at no extra charge. What a great deal! Steve and I attended the round table discussion. Mark Thomas of Canadian County asked him if he thought he could keep his principles while serving in office (my version of the question). Cruz said yes, he could. Steve Byas asked Cruz about TPA/TPP. Cruz spent a good deal of time on this answer. He said he voted for TPA because every President had had TPA until Harry Reid killed it. Cruz said all this does...

AS I have scrolled around the web absorbing information about the school shooting in New Town, CT., I have noticed a glaring absence of understanding of what motivated Adam Lanza to kill his mother and a class full of kindergarteners. There is an answer, but nobody seems to want to express it. I, for one, am unafraid to speak to this issue, as I see it. The real cause of this massacre has nothing to do with the proliferation of guns, nor does it have anything to do with a lack of mental health. The real cause of these kinds...

Just days after the Labor Department announced zero job growth for the month of August, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D.-Fla.), the chair of the Democratic National Committee, said that the economy is “continuing on the upswing" and that every economist "worth their salt" acknowledges that this is the result of the economic stimulus signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2009. When Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February of that year, the national unemployment rate was 8.2 percent. As the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last week, the national unemployment rate was 9.1 percent this...

Okay, now that Helen Thomas is going back "home" to Lebanon in shame we need a new pic, who will Helen Thomas's replacement be? The winner will receive dinner and a movie from their favorite Fox News Babe (or hunk if you're a woman).

Here was the headline New York Magazine just ran, about the current First Lady at the Christmas tree lighting ceremony: MICHELLE OBAMA WORE CLOTHES TO LIGHT THE CHRISTMAS TREEHere’s a screen grab of the post because we’re sure they’ll scrub it:

** EXCERPT ** The powerful clay work shows Mrs Obama in the style of an African Queen, wearing large hooped earrings and an "afro pick" comb in her Egyptian-influenced hairstyle. An American flag is tattooed across her naked chest and the comb is decorated with pearls, the traditional garb of a First Lady, and an American Eagle. The work, by controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards, is clearly a nod to both Mrs Obama's ethnic roots and her position at the heart of American culture and politics. As her husband, Barack Obama, battles to win the next US presidential elections, she has...

Demanding News 21 June 2008 By Rev. Michael Carl It’s time. Right now it’s time that the American people seize the initiative and demand that the networks actually report the news. Last week a story surfaced claiming that ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz slanted the results of some interviews she did about the presidential preferences of the soldiers serving in Iraq. The controversy over Raddatz’ reporting was started by an email written by someone claiming to be related to a soldier serving in Ms. Raddatz’ security detail. The writer alleged that her niece she called “Katelyn” overheard Ms. Raddatz’ sixty...

WASHINGTON (AFP) - In Washington, where professional women's style statements are pointedly conservative, Hillary Clinton's cleavage has suddenly burst into one of the hottest topics of the Democratic presidential race. The normally very conservative dresser's slightly low neckline during a July 18 campaign debate on education mostly went unremarked at first, until Washington Post fashion writer Robin Givhan took notice and branded it a "small acknowledgment of sexuality and femininity." "There was cleavage on display Wednesday afternoon," the Pulitzer Prize-winning Givhan wrote. "It belonged to Senator Hillary Clinton." Clinton wore "a rose-colored blazer over a black top. The neckline sat...

1: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid cleared by Senate Ethics Committee. After carefully reviewing all the evidence, the Ethics Committee determined that Mr. Reid had "inadvertently" failed to report on his financial disclosure statement that he had secretly become majority stock holder of Caesar's Palace, the Golden Nugget, the Bellagio, the Venetian, Harrah's, the Mirage, MGM Grand and the Hotel at Mandalay Bay. "They were all just friendly "handshake" deals between me and several new friends of mine," the senator said. The fact that these forgotten deals had increased the Reid family's net assets from $812.37 to $3.7 billion was...

Enron and the Clintonites The Clintonites may have been more accommodating than the Bushies. by David Brooks 01/21/2002, Volume 007, Issue 18 ON JULY 5, 1995, Enron Corporation donated $100,000 to the Democratic National Committee. Six days later, Enron executives were on a trade mission with Commerce Secretary Mickey Kantor to Bosnia and Croatia. With Kantor's support, Enron signed a $100 million contract to build a 150-megawatt power plant. Enron, then a growing giant in energy trading, practically had a reserved seat on Clinton administration trade junkets. Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, who egregiously linked political donations to government assistance, accompanied ...

I'm wondering how many have been in a public school lately, to see the awful mess they have become. Or to see, first hand, what kind of children we have coming up who will be running things one day. I teach at a public high school in a large south-central metro area. I started here this year. Before this, I had been teaching in the military system, which I now realize is very different from the regular public schools. The difference being that where parents actually have something to lose, they WILL control their children. I want you to know...
