Would you rather date an MS-13 gang member or someone who supports President Donald Trump? That's what Daily Caller reporters Stephanie Hamill and Julia Nista asked young people on the streets of Washington, D.C. Stunningly, a majority of respondents said they would rather date a member of the brutal gang, which operates by the motto "kill, rape, control." When asked why they wouldn’t date a Trump supporter, people said those who back the president "weren't for them" and they would "never" do it.

The most remarkable thing about the subtitle of this column, “A Cornell student presents her senior thesis in her underwear,” is that not one reader will think it’s a joke. That, my friends, is further proof of the low esteem in which most Americans hold our universities. The Left has rendered our universities, in the description of Harvard professor Steven Pinker, a laughingstock. As reported in the Cornell Daily Sun and then around the world, this is what actually happened last week at Cornell University, one of our “Ivy League” universities: Letitia Chai, a Cornell senior, presented a trial run...

President Trump announced on Twitter Thursday that he'll give a full pardon to conservative author and documentary filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, who pleaded guilty in 2014 to a campaign finance violation. "Will be giving a Full Pardon to Dinesh D'Souza today," Mr. Trump tweeted. "He was treated very unfairly by our government!"

President Obama was probably very, very confident Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 election. Nevertheless, he took unprecedented steps to stump for his former secretary of state. In the end, he couldn’t drag her over the finish line. She went down in defeat. It was one of the biggest political upsets in American history. It was a punch to the mouth of liberal America. The rural voter had his/her revenge. The urban elites were silenced. The irony is this tribalism, this electorate, was not the one Obama was trying to nurture or preserve; he wanted to change our politics, remember? Did...

Democrats mistakenly tweet 2014 pictures from Obama’s term showing children from the Border in steel cages. They thought it was recent pictures in order to make us look bad, but backfires. Dems must agree to Wall and new Border Protection for good of country...Bipartisan Bill! We have put a great team together for our talks with North Korea. Meetings are currently taking place concerning Summit, and more. Kim Young Chol, the Vice Chairman of North Korea, heading now to New York. Solid response to my letter, thank you! “This investigation involved far more surveillance than we ever had any idea...

Hundreds of far-right protesters descend on Whitehall after Tommy Robinson arrested for 'breaching the peace'

In his newly released book, Sen. John McCain admits he knew the anti-Trump dossier that he infamously passed to the FBI contained “unproven accusations,” “mostly raw, unverified intelligence” and allegations about which the senator “had no idea” if “any were true.” Yet McCain maintains he had an “obligation” to pass the wild charges against Donald Trump to FBI Director James Comey and he would even do it again. “Anyone who doesn’t like it can go to hell,” McCain exclaimed. In the book The Restless Wave, McCain provides an inside account of how he says he came across the dossier. He...

Here is the video of British anti-Islam activist/journalist Tommy Robinson getting arrested on Friday outside Leeds Crown Court. He was peacefully reporting about the case of a number of muslims who had gang raped hundreds of young English girls, some as young as 11. The UK police farce swooped in, and arrested him for "suspicion of breaching the peace." They then hauled him off in the back of a van, tried him, sentenced him, and imprisoned him...all within a matter of hours. He is set to serve 13 months in prison. Last time the authorities threw him in prison on...

...According to the Social Security Administration, Melania saw a dramatic increase in popularity last year, rising from the 1,650th most popular girls' name in 2016 to 930th in 2017. The 720-spot rise in rank was the fifth-largest increase among girls' names last year, falling behind Ensley, Oaklynn, Dream and Oaklyn. The Associated Press said the surge is "likely influenced by first lady Melania Trump."

A Democrat receiving his third jail sentence? Not surprising. A Democrat giving up on America? There are plenty of those, although few will actively say it. A former Democrat congressman giving up on America because he just received his his third jail sentence? Now that’s a humorous way to end the week. Yes, former U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds, a veteran of our country’s penal system, is going back to the hoosegow for six months after being convicted of failing to pay taxes. According to Fox News, Reynolds, 66, declined to pay anything to the IRS on $400,000 of consulting work...

Police released a video Tuesday showing a former financial adviser to Hillary Clinton getting involved in a heated, profanity-laced confrontation with several officers. "You may shut the f--- up!" the woman, Caren Z. Turner, 60, shrieks at an officer at one point. Most recently, Turner has been a commissioner with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and was chairwoman of its ethics committee, Politico reported. She was forced to resign last week because of the interaction with police during Easter weekend. “The Port Authority has zero tolerance for ethics violations,” PA spokesman Ben Branham told the website....

They still can’t get over it. They can’t. The talking heads for the Democratic Party say let’s move on from 2016, but Hillary Clinton, her inner circle, and the Democratic National Committee keep bringing us back there. In the process, they reopen the wounds of 2016, the internal campaign strife, the rift with the progressive Left, and the most delicious fact: Hillary Clinton will never be president. Still, the tantrum continues with this lawsuit filed by the cash-strapped and virtually bankrupt DNC that alleges the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians and Wikileaks to tilt the election (via WaPo): The...

New York State plans to restore voting rights to about 35,000 New York felons on parole who previously were barred from casting a ballot until they completed their parole, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Wednesday.

An article in The New Yorker magazine scorns the popularity of Chick-fil-A, the fast food chicken chain with Christian values, in New York City, calling it "creepy pervasive Christian traditionalism." The author says its presence is "awash with cash, Christ, and evangelizing Cows." "The brand's arrival here feels like an infiltration, in no small part because of its pervasive Christian traditionalism," writes Dan Piepenbring, overlooking the fact that its first store opened four years ago. The article seeks to "warn" New Yorkers that Chick-fil-A's corporate purpose "still begins with the words 'to glorify God,' and that proselytism thrums below the...

Gun rights activists rally at state capitols nationwide Yahoo News Photo Staff April 14, 2018 Gun rights supporters gathered at the state Capitol in Atlanta for one of dozens of rallies planned at statehouses across the U.S. According to The Associated Press’ count, more than 135 attended the rally Saturday, and more were arriving. Most of them were armed and some held signs as they listened to speeches. A few people wearing “Black Lives Matter” T-shirts made videos, but didn’t interact with the ralliers. The rallies come less than three weeks after hundreds of thousands marched in Washington, New York...

Proof the media is controlled, has the same uniform messages.

The White House said Tuesday night that President Trump planned to deploy the National Guard to the southern border to confront what it called a growing threat of illegal immigrants, drugs and crime from Central America after the president for the third consecutive day warned about the looming dangers of unchecked immigration. Mr. Trump’s advisers said on Monday that he was readying new legislation to block migrants and asylum seekers, including young unaccompanied children, from entering the United States, opening a new front in the immigration crackdown that he has pressed since taking office. But in remarks on Tuesday that...

At about 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, 22 March, 2018, in St. Paul, Minnesota, a 39-year-old man arranged to meet a man to purchase an iPhone X. The “sale” turned out to be a pretext for an armed robbery.
