Greedy Grifters Barack & Michelle Obama Robbing Blind the Party That Made Them

Wake Up Call for all the OWS (Occupy Wall Street) activists: You can’t OCCUPY WALL STREET, because greedy grifters Barack and Michelle Obama are already squatting on it. It’s the same old story sung in the words of a song, “The rich get rich and the poor get poorer”.

White House Puts Offshore Resources Back in the Game

Wordplay: Where Are We . . . and Where Are We Going?

An essay in the opinion section of the NY Times dated 4/28/17 and titled "America, From Exceptionalism to Nihilism", set me thinking and suggested the title I assigned to my essay in response, the one you are now reading.

Trump’s America: 100 Days Later

Here we are folks, 100 days into Trump's presidency. My NeverTrump friends are still itching for Trump to betray us so they can say, "I told you so." Well, if Trump betrays us tomorrow, we are still winners; light years down the road to making America great again than where we would be had another Republican won.

DC swamp fights back: Jim DeMint reportedly out at Heritage

The great Jim DeMint is being given the bum’s rush at the Heritage Foundation for being a conservative in thought and deed, according to Politico. DeMint, formerly a Republican senator representing South Carolina, took over as Heritage president in April 2013.

ISIS fighters killed by wild boars

Excellent: Trump reverses Obama order limiting oil drilling in Atlantic, Arctic oceans

It seems like months ago now - wait, it was months ago - that the one-foot-out-the-door Barack Obama was pushing through as many executive orders as he could in an attempt to lock in liberal policies after he left office. One of the worst, which we reported at the time, put severe limits on offshore drilling in the Atlantic and Arctic oceans - and there was some question as to whether President Trump would have the authority to reverse the orders once he took office.

SAF, OTHER GROUPS FILE FEDERAL LAWSUIT v. CAL. MAGAZINE BAN

BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation, joined by several other groups and individuals, today filed a lawsuit in federal district court in California, challenging that state’s law prohibiting the possession, use or acquisition of so-called “large capacity magazines,” calling the ban “hopelessly vague and ambiguous.”

Netanyahu’s bold move against Europe

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu adopted a new strategy for managing Israel's diplomatic relations with the West. Long in the making and increasingly urgent, Israel's new strategy is very simple. Foreign governments can either treat Israel in accordance with international diplomatic norms of behavior, or they can continue to discriminate against Israel. If they act in accordance with international diplomatic norms, Israel will respond in a like fashion. If they choose instead to discriminate against Israel and treat it in a manner no other democratic state is treated, Israel will abandon diplomatic convention and treat foreign governments as domestic critics.

Latest shutdown showdown, or,,,how Mitch McConnell is letting Democrats continue to run the country

How, you ask, can we be at risk of a government shutdown? Republicans control the House, the Senate and the presidency. All the Republicans have to do is hold together and they can avert a shutdown, you reasonably assume.

Green Corporate Welfare is Growing

Here's a warning for taxpayers already frustrated with corporate welfare directed to the aerospace and automotive sectors: selected energy companies are also increasingly in receipt of taxpayer cash, and the reasons offered up are often environmental in nature.

There we go: Bernie joins the Obama speaking-fee pile on

I'm not sure why this took so long. Maybe the young, fresh, face of the Democrat Party, Bernie Sanders, is getting slow in his old age. Whatever the reason, the old socialist coot of the Senate dawdled while Elizabeth Warren was letting everyone know how 'troubled' she was. She was vexed, obviously, by former President Barack Obama's decision to accept a whopping $400,000.00 for one Wall Street speech.

U.S. Senators Demand Equal Treatment for Israel at U.N.

WASHINGTON - All 100 U.S. senators signed a letter asking U.N. Secretary General António Guterres to address and correct the unequal treatment by the United Nations against Israel.

Dismantling the 9th Circuit

In Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution the text states that Congress has the authority to "constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court.” In Article III of the U.S. Constitution, when referring to the inferior federal courts, it states that it is Congress who may from "time to time ordain and establish.”

The Left-Wing Takeover of Fox News

When Bill O’Reilly left Fox News he declared, “I am very confident the truth will come out and when it does I don’t know if you are going to be surprised, but I think you are going to be shaken as I am.” Some observers think he was referring not to the sexual harassment allegations against him, but to behind-the-scenes maneuvers by one of Rupert Murdoch’s sons, James, and his very liberal wife, Kathryn.

Obama scores another $400K speaking fee, and multi-millionaire Elizabeth Warren is ‘troubled’

Earlier this week, I pointed out the Barack Obama is a filthy one-percenter. That's nothing new, of course. He's been getting rich - by selling class warfare rhetoric and claiming the "rich don't pay their fair share" - for years. Still, considering what a big issue Hillary's speaking fees were in the last election, I wondered when we'd hear from Bernie Sanders.

Did Sean Hannity Unwittingly Tweet Out His Own Pink Slip?

It’s not Fox News co-president Bill Shine fans should be the most worried about, but the ‘Fair and Balanced to President Donald Trump’ Sean Hannity. In coming to the defense of Shine On Twitter today, Hannity warned that Shine’s dismissal dismissal would be the “End of FNC as we know it”.

ISIS ‘fighters’ abandoning their overlords as the caliphate collapses

Remember when it appeared that, contra a certain U.S. president and his "JV team" talk, ISIS was going to overrun the entire Middle East with virtually no resistance? Remember the harrowing stories of Iraqis gathering on a mountaintop waiting for someone to come and rescue them before ISIS showed up and set them on fire or committed some other murderous atrocity?

88 percent of Trump voters: The press is the enemy of the American people

Pro tip: At some point, every president thinks this thought. Bastards. The difference between President Trump and the others is that they don't think it would be wise to say so publicly - either because they think it will cost them politically or because they genuinely don't want to erode the public's trust in the free press.

Trump orders review of Obama-era land grabs
