I've really gotten to know former President Donald J. Trump over the past six years since he came down that escalator. I was the first to predict he'd be the next president of the United States (at Fox News on the day Trump announced in June of 2015). I was the first to compare him to Ronald Reagan and predict Trump would become the greatest conservative president ever. I was the first to predict he'd create the most jobs in history for black and Hispanic Americans (in a Fox News editorial before he was elected). I was the media personality...

Don't get me wrong. I love the Super Bowl. I don't love the politics of the "social justice" kneelers who play the game. But I've loved NFL football for 50 years now, since I was a little boy and my hero Roger Staubach was winning Super Bowls. I can't wait to bet on the big game; that's the real reason most of us love the NFL. We love betting on the games. But I can wait a week longer, or two, or three. We can play the Super Bowl in March. Because there's something much more important at stake here......

Thursday wasn't a good day for President Joe Biden. First, the Supreme Court shouted "LET'S GO BRANDON" by killing his prized private-employer vaccine mandate. Then Democrat Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema destroyed his dreams of banning voter ID to ensure one party rule in America. After hearing all that bad news, I'm guessing Biden put a lid on it and headed for the White House basement where his wife prepared baby food, fed him milk from a bottle and then tucked him in with his favorite blankie. But we can't afford to rest because of two short-lived victories. We...

It's so easy to win a debate with an ignorant liberal. They have no facts. They have no brilliant oratory. Just name-calling. After my national TV interviews last week explaining why I believe the COVID-19 vaccine is killing and injuring thousands of Americans, I received an email from an intensive care unit doctor. He called me a "moron." Below is my reply filled with common sense, logic, facts and most importantly, SCIENCE about the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccine. Needless to say, the doctor never replied. Dear David, First, I read and answer all my own emails. I'm answering you...

Yes, it's true. I beat COVID-19 in 48 hours with ivermectin. Before I get to that story, I have more news guaranteed to make liberals' heads explode. I was married last week. That has to enrage liberals. The Left hates marriage. But they really hate it when a man who knows he's a man marries a feminine woman who knows she's a woman. I married the stunning, beautiful, sexy, Cindy Parker. This was truly a Republican wedding. My new wife is on the Board of Directors of many Republican organizations in Nevada. We had a large wedding with 200 guests...

I'm one of the few white conservatives in America who grew up in a majority-black urban city and attended an all-black middle school and an all-black high school. So, I grew up with an understanding and appreciation of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and his extraordinary ideas and strategies -- in particular, civil disobedience. King was against any form of violence. So am I. But he understood that civil rights for black Americans would never be achieved without pushing the envelope. So, King inspired protests, strikes, boycotts, sit-ins and other forms of civil disobedience to get the attention of the...

Vice President Kamala Harris referenced the television show Cheers to explain the migrant crisis on Wednesday. Harris explained most people in Central American countries do not want to leave their homes where they are familiar with the language and culture.

Dear fellow FReepers, please include me in your prayers today; I am experiencing a dental emergency that I'm praying will be dealt with this morning and will not be overtly painful. Peace like a river, O Lord God. I know You are with me. Amen!

I've been calling this presidential election the "Michael Dukakis election of 2020" for months now — all through the summer, when Joe Biden was up by double digits, just like Dukakis. That was before Rudy Giuliani announced he had Hunter Biden's infamous laptop with a treasure trove of emails that appeared to implicate Joe Biden in a massive pay-for-play conspiracy and identify Biden as "the big guy" — a partner in business with the Chinese Communist Party. That was before Hunter Biden's former business partner Tony Bobulinski announced he can prove Biden had a piece of all the dirty deals....

I've been talking about this on my national radio show for months. Don't believe a single poll. They're all fake. Trump is winning. I don't even think it's close. I keep saying President Trump is on his way to an electoral landslide. But that was before President made the most brilliant chess move in the history of politics over the weekend. Trump signed Executive Orders to defer payroll taxes for middle class Americans for the rest of the year...and defer student loan payments for the rest of the year...and to offer eviction protections to both renters and homeowners...and if all...

Trump is not getting thrown out of office. Not with his remarkable record of economic success for the average American worker. Not going to happen. 63 million Trump voters will insure that never happens. We have your back, Mr. President. President Trump has the highest approval rating among Republicans in history. 95%. No one is impeaching this president. Now, let’s discuss why this is happening. Trump touched the third rail of Democrat/Deep State/DC Swamp politics. He asked Ukraine’s President to investigate massive Democrat corruption and theft of taxpayer money. Suddenly alarm bells went off at the DNC. I believe Trump...

Get ready for my confession. I'm white, male and Republican. I dislike the government. I believe in the Constitution. I demand a wall to secure our border. But I'm just getting started. I've watched violent TV shows and movies for my whole life. I don't watch unless it features cops versus bad guys, the military or the mafia. And I've owned guns for self-defense my entire adult life. I have a concealed weapon permit. I'm packing right now. I love to go shooting ... with my kids. I took my daughter shooting to celebrate her graduation from Harvard. We shot...

Forget the college cheating scam. The biggest scam in America is the Democratic Party. Its platform is based on legalizing cheating. I have no idea why anyone in America should obey the law anymore. Just ignore any law you think is unfair -- just like Democrats do. Just days ago, 13 parents, including famous Hollywood actress Felicity Huffman, agreed to plead guilty in the college admissions cheating scandal. Now, don't get me wrong. I hate arrogant, rich, entitled jerks as much as the next guy -- maybe more. I went to Columbia University with hundreds of these liberals. It was...

I actually started this post a couple of weeks ago and today I am compelled to finish it. It's been grinding my insides for some time. Mollie Tibbets. Kate Steinle. Sarah Root. Three young American women, dead at the hands of illegal aliens. I am freaking sick of it. Mollie Tibbets: The suspect in the murder of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts is a 24-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico who had been living in the area for up to seven years, officials revealed Tuesday.Cristhian Bahena Rivera was apprehended more than a month after the 20-year-old University of Iowa student disappeared, Rick Rahn,...

What a two-week period for President Donald J. Trump. They’re all rooting against him, thereby (by default) hoping America and the US economy and middle class jobs either fail, or fall short. And it’s not just Democrats. It’s virtually everyone in power, in government, in the establishment. Economists are rooting for Trump to fail. Democrats are rooting for Trump to fail. Ivy League eggheads are rooting for Trump to fail. The media is rooting for Trump to fail. Hollywood celebrities (like Bill Maher) are rooting for Trump (and the economy) to fail. The Deep State is rooting for Trump...

Our friend Howard Root attended the Trump rally in Duluth last night. This is his (fantastic) report along with photos he took at the event (at the top and bottom below): At least 25 percent of the audience was under the age of 30, and around 40 percent were women. The senior citizen percentage was less than 10 percent — the lowest I’ve ever seen at a Republican event. Other than the hundred or so party leaders, this was a vastly different crowd from the Minnesota Republican Convention that I attended in Duluth three weeks ago. None of the attendees...

December 21st is a day that will live in infamy. Remember that date. The world changed on December 21st and no one noticed. That will soon change. The great conservative talk host Michael Savage was the first to define liberalism as a “mental illness.” But it turns out liberals back then were relatively sane compared to today. Today’s liberals are frothing at the mouth, spitting, howling at the moon and threatening publicly to assassinate President Trump. One protestor at the Los Angeles women’s march this past weekend carried a sign that said, “Kill Donald Trump, Kill Mike Pence. It’s guillotine...

[clip] In other words, Trump’s EO targets pretty much everyone, anywhere in the world. If you participated in any form of corruption or human rights abuses, we’re coming after you and seizing all your assets. Who should be sick to their stomachs right now? A) The entire DC swamp. B) Every lobbyist in DC who has ever aided a foreign entity in doing any business that hurt American taxpayers. C) Hillary Clinton and anyone ever involved with the Clinton Foundation. D) Any and all donors to the Clinton Foundation- including foreign donors, who got any favor in return. E) Specifically,...

President Donald Trump is scheduled to publicize his administration’s national security doctrine on Monday, two years after then-President Barack Obama released his own strategy document, which emphasized global warming as a major threat to global security. The new doctrine, laid out in a 70-page document, includes significant departures from past American policy on the Middle East, including the Israeli-Arab conflict and the influence that conflict has had on Middle East stability. According to the Associated Press, which obtained a draft of the new national security document, the president is expected to emphasize that Israel is not the cause of the...

Update: Apple has acknowledged the issue and is working on it. Statement and workaround below. Wow, this is a bad one. On Macs running the latest version of High Sierra — 10.13.1 (17B48) — it appears that anyone can log in just by putting “root” in the user name field. This is a huge, huge problem. Apple will fix it probably within hours, but holy moly. Do not leave your Mac unattended until this is resolved. The bug is most easily accessed by going to Preferences and then entering one of the panels that has a lock in the lower...
