Former President Donald Trump is planning to execute a massive deportation operation against illegal aliens if he is re-elected to a second, non-consecutive term in office next year. According to the New York Post, an in-depth report from the New York Times says that a second Trump term would see illegals rounded up into large detention camps ahead of being forcibly removed from the country, with the goal being to send millions of illegals back every year to where they came from. In addition to the estimated 4 million illegals who have come into the country illegally since Joe Biden...

My Salem radio talk-show host colleagues and I went from city to city in "battleground" states to speak on the forthcoming elections -- specifically about how vital it is for the survival of America that the Left and its political party be defeated. (I went to Chicago and Burlington for other reasons.) Two reflections: one from Philadelphia and the other from Chicago: I then took an Uber to the venue. My driver was a black man, and as I almost always do with strangers, I engaged in conversation with him. He turned out to be particularly inquisitive about me and...

Bild am Sonntag, the Sunday edition of Bild, the best-selling European newspaper, declared today that the hatred of Jews by radical Muslims is “a shame for this country.” The editorial, written by the editor in chief Johannes Boje, followed what the newspaper described as “an aggressive antisemitic agitation against people of the Jewish faith – in the middle of Germany” (Wieder offener Judenhass auf Deutschlands Straben [https://www.bild.de/news/inland/news-inland/antisemitische-demo-in-berlin-wieder-offener-judenhass-auf-deutschlands-strassen-79861108.bild.html]) According to Saturday night’s report, some 600 people marched through Kreuzberg and Neukolln with Palestinian flags, openly denying Israel’s right to exist. They roared aggressively, “c...d killer Israel” and attacked journalists.

Former Assistant Treasury Secretary for Public Affairs Monica Crowley and WOR Radio host Mark Simone join ‘Kudlow' to discuss the web of lies by Sen. Richard Blumenthal. Kudlow: "Alright folks, I just have to ask this: How is this possible in America? Democratic Richard Blumenthal helping the Connecticut Communist Party celebrate their 102nd anniversary over the weekend...Connecticut Senator Blumenthal helping his Connecticut Communist comrades to celebrate. I think that is a remarkable story - and it deserves some visibility - and we're going to give it to him."

Former President Donald Trump told Fox News to dump Republican strategist Karl Rove in a statement from his political action committee Thursday. Rove wrote in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday when he noted a so-called "muted enthusiasm" for Trump following a straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference showed 68% said the former president should run again in 2024. "Never had much of a feeling for Karl, in that I disagreed with so many of the things he says. He's a pompous fool with bad advice and always has an agenda," Trump wrote in a statement from his...

...On Monday Bowe Bergdahl pleaded guilty to charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. He will be sentenced next week. To all but a mendacious Administration and its accomplices among the court eunuchs of the Obama media, the truth about this man was obvious from the day of his release by the Taliban three-and-a-half years ago.. Me on June 3rd 2014:In years to come, when archaeologists are prowling through the ruins of our civilization and wondering how it all happened, I would offer this snapshot. Here's the history of America's longest war in two anti-American losers, John Walker Lindh...

Country music legend Charlie Daniels isn’t in favor of people tearing any of the Confederate statues down and even compared the act to what ISIS is doing. “The Devil Went Down To Georgia” singer joined Rita Cosby on Newsmax on Wednesday to discuss the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend and the events that have followed since then. Daniels started off his argument about why the Confederate statues should stay standing by comparing those who mean to tear them down to ISIS. “That’s what ISIS is doing, There were pieces of history over there they didn’t like, they’re taking ’em...

Hundreds of scientists and policy experts sent a letter to President Donald Trump asking him to withdraw from a major United Nations environmental treaty ratified during the Bush administration. More than 300 eminent scientists signed the letter to Trump, delivered Thursday, arguing he should pull out of the UN Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) because it targets carbon dioxide — a gas essential for life. CO2 “is not a pollutant but a major benefit to agriculture and other life on Earth,” reads the petition, obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation. “Observations since the UNFCCC was written 25 years ago...

But this doesn’t matter. Dems prefer to think their opinions are all that matter. To them, it’s “my way or the highway.” But conservatives aren’t putting up with it anymore. It’s no accident that trust in the mainstream media is at an all-time low, amazingly even lower than Congress. People just aren’t willing to believe the lies any longer. It’s a backlash that’s growing. Some people question where this backlash came from. For years, conservatives claimed their numbers were actually larger than progressives’. Yet if there were indeed more conservatives than liberals, where on earth have they been for the...

Conservative commentator Meghan McCain on Sunday criticized actress Meryl Streep's Golden Globes dig at Donald Trump, saying it shows that Hollywood doesn't understand the forces behind Trump's victory. "This Meryl Streep speech is why Trump won," McCain, the daughter of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), tweeted Sunday night. "And if people in Hollywood don't start recognizing why and how - you will help him get re-elected."

Captain obvious here again, but NeverTrump/NeverCruz is not the way. We all have our favorites, but don't lose sight of the mission. The mission on FR is to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our POSTERITY!! It's a lot bigger than you or me or our personal opinions or egos. It's about the very survival of our nation and the promise of freedom for future generations. Reagan said that freedom is never more than one generation from extinction and he was 100% correct. President Clinton or President Sanders means the end of freedom in America. Do not let...

After getting shut out at the Colorado conventions, Trump has been complaining that the Republican primary process is undemocratic and rigged. ...it’s true that some Republican votes are worth a lot more than others. “One person, one vote” — or the idea that every voter should have equal say in an election — is not the rule in the GOP primary system. The irony, however, is that Trump has benefited from this imbalance.... Trump has won a higher share of delegates than votes in 24 of the 35 contests studied (67 percent), most notably in winner-take-all contests. Winner-take-all statewide contests...

A seemingly exasperated Donald Trump announced on Wednesday, "I'm so tired of this politically correct crap," telling a crowd of South Carolina business leaders that he's still the straight-talking, shoot-from-the-hip kind of guy that surged to the top of the polls this summer. The Republican presidential candidate is suffering a bit of a slump, due to some slippage in the polls, a lackluster debate performance, and another round of negative headlines due to his refusal to apologize for not correcting a questioner at a New Hampshire town hall who insisted President Obama is a Muslim and not an American.

We all know that one of the prime motivating factors that leads to the early immigration to the United States of America was freedom – freedom from a monarchy and freedom from a societal class system that placed the working people at the bottom of the food chain. They fled to America for freedom to achieve whatever their intellect and industry was capable of, but most important of all, they came to America for the freedom to worship God in whatever way they chose. According to William Bradford, when the Pilgrims set foot on American soil, they “fell on their...

As April dawns, the latest edition of the Top 40 Conservative Websites reveals some major changes in the rankings.

Bill Maher called Chris Kyle of "American Sniper" a "psychopath patriot." Michael Moore called military snipers "cowards" who shoot people in the back. Howard Dean said "American Sniper" appeals mostly to angry Tea Party types. So what? Why do we conservatives give two cents about what these lefties and liberals say about "American Sniper" - or anything else? Nothing they ever say is surprising. Nothing they say ever adds to the debate, has any effect on anything or helps us find a solution to a serious problem. The predictable - and wrong -- things these liberals and others on the...

America is suffering from a lack of leadership. Obama isn’t a leader; he is Erebus eulogizing over America sans having anything kind or truthful to say about her. His manic supporters are selective in what they view as an example of leadership, none moreso than the hordes of blacks who suffer from willful “he’s black and therefore can do no wrong” syndrome. When they are unable to debate cogently (which is their one constant) they make excuses for Obama and/or wave off his need to be involved in the situation. Such has been the case pursuant to his handling of...

Since actress Stacey Dash has gone public with her conservative points of view — namely endorsing Mitt Romney for president last year — she’s come under a volley of criticism from the left. But that hasn’t shut her up.

The exact circumstances and timing of Greece’s ejection from monetary union no longer have any systemic importance for global finance. The damage has already been done. The precedent of EMU break-up is by now priced into the credit markets. Formalising it changes little. Central banks across the world are standing ready to shower markets with emergency liquidity. A dust-up in Athens is the excuse they need to launch a fresh blitz of stimulus as the global economy flirts with recession once again. Fed chair Ben Bernanke requires a crisis somewhere to outflank his own hawks and slip another round of...

Rush Limbaugh says Pres. Obama is turning into "the male Kim Kardashian." On his show today, Rush Limbaugh discussed two sweepstakes ads that the Obama campaign is running. One starring Anna Wintour, Editor of Vogue magazine; and the other with actress Sarah Jessica Parker. Each promotes a chance for two lucky winners to have dinner at Sarah Jessica Parker’s home in New York for an Obama fundraiser. “This is such a divorce from reality. So they’re having this big dinner party, for YOU. Two people…you could get chosen to have dinner so that Obama and Michelle and Anna Wintour and...
