BombThrowers

The Left’s attacks are getting personal

We have been treated to a year of rioting and violence over the mere hint that a conservative may speak at some college. The intolerant, fascistic, violent Left seems determined to demonstrate just how vicious and despotic its instincts are.

When wusses cave

Just a day after my Bombthrowers post entitled Wusses of the foreign policy establishment, the Europeans and the Iranians have already demonstrated the truth of my argument that contrary to the beliefs of the wussy foreign policy establishment (FPE) in the U.S., when the U.S. acts with strength and conviction in foreign affairs, we succeed.

Victory! Department of Defense purges SPLC information from its training material

The Department of Defense (DOD) has recently removed all its material related to extremist groups that came from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The DOD infamously used the discredited SPLC’s data, which led it compare Catholic and Protestant Christians to al Qaeda, as examples of religious extremism. CRC has extensively covered the left-wing bent of the SPLC that has prompted it to include mainstream, conservative nonprofits with legitimate hate groups with histories of violence.

No Susan Rice, Nikki Haley does not want to kill gay people

Former UN Ambassador Susan Rice re-tweeted a cherry-picked smear piece from the hyper-partisan George Soros-funded ThinkProgress (a project of the Center for American Progress Action Fund) that claims America endorses laws straight out the Hadith that condemn gay people to death in an "article titled: "United States rejects UN resolution condemning use of death penalty to target LGBTQ people.")

Social media hate for conservative victims of Las Vegas shooter

There was a time not so very long ago when a national tragedy would unite the country, if only for a short time. We would grieve the humans lost as humans lost, innocent people taken too soon with loved ones left behind. In the wake of the Las Vegas shooting, it is all too clear that those days are gone.

Donor rights, donor intent, rear their heads in lawsuit against DNC

There are plenty who take exception to Hillary Clinton’s self-pity book, titled What Happened, including Democrats and far-left progressives. “I’ve been a Democrat my whole life and I didn’t vote for her and it had nothing to do with Russia or Jim Comey,” said Elizabeth Lee Beck, one of the attorneys, along with her husband Jared Beck, representing 150 financial supporters of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, in a class action lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee and its ousted chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.).

The Soros dynasty: like father, like son

Alexander Soros, son of billionaire donor George Soros, has so far maintained a low profile in the nonprofit world. But now he appears to be following in his father's footsteps as a major donor for left-wing groups and politicians.

Why won’t the Justice Department pursue Lois Lerner?

The Department of Justice (DoJ) recently announced that it will not pursue a criminal investigation into Lois Lerner, the former director of the Exempt Organizations Unit of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), who admitted to targeting and aggressively harassing Tea Party groups. With Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s affinity for the IRS—and the recent news that he asked to use a military jet to ferry him and his wife on their honeymoon—raises questions about his influence on the DoJ’s decision not to pursue Lerner for her illegal actions.

Is anyone impressed when rich football players sit on their butts?

Although the late 70s are only a distant, hazy memory for me, a Generation Xer, it becomes clearer and clearer that we have gone back to those fun-filled days of racial anger and protests.

Trump speaks truth to the evil powers

It really goes without saying, but in these times is important to say nonetheless, that President Trump’s speech before the UN was an unqualified success.

America Under Siege: Antifa

Antifa is the third episode in the America Under Siege film series from Dangerous Documentaries (a project of the Capital Research Center) and Cohesion Films. Each episode profiles the influence of radical Marxists on various segments of American society.

Sopranos Democrats

Another dispatch from the dusty, dangerous political trail by Clint Carson When I last left y’all, I was explaining why Democrats always get away with it while Republicans always lose their strays. And since then, the Bob Menendez (D) trial began in New Jersey.

Threat of Antifa violence shuts down “Antifa” documentary premiere

The September 25 premier of America Under Siege: Antifa, the latest film from Dangerous Documentaries (like Bombthrowers, a project of the Capital Research Center), at Milo Yiannopoulos's Free Speech Week at U.C. Berkeley has been cancelled, in part due to security concerns stemming from members of the radical terrorist organization Antifa (short for anti-fascist action) — the very same group the film exposes.

The left's low power coup

The medium known as low power FM radio (LPFM) is, on the surface, hardly the stuff revolutions are made of. Yet this veteran medium is beloved of the free speech-hating Left because it offers a cheap buy-in with enormous gains. Since 2001, LPFM radio stations have rapidly developed in cities and regions across the United States. With an established network of leftist “free radio” groups ready to train, advise, and equip them, activists with no prior experience in broadcasting have the capability to organize people and spread their anti-American message.

The unbearable phoniness of Black Lives Matter

Like Holden Caulfield, I am always on the alert for phonies, and one of the biggest phonies to come out of the political/ideological realm these days is the so-called Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. According to BlackLivesMatter.com, BLM is “a chapter-based national organization working for the validity of Black life… working to (re)build the Black liberation movement…(and) a call to action and a response to the virulent anti-Black racism that permeates our society.”

SPLC won't label Antifa a hate group

Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) president Richard Cohen offered the Washington Examiner the SPLC’s views on Antifa, a violent, far-left movement responsible for many recent attacks on free speech.

Robert Spencer: Southern Poverty Law Center won't classify Antifa as 'hate group'

Of course. The SPLC and Antifa have the same overall goal: to destroy the freedom of speech and allow only Leftists access to the public square. The SPLC demonizes and tries to destroy dissenters (including foes of jihad terror) by lumping them in with the likes of the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis. Antifa, a genuinely violent and hateful group, doesn't make the list because it doesn't dissent from the Leftist agenda, it works to advance it.

Gorka goes, and Trump lets him

Dr. Sebastian Gorka, a deputy assistant to President Trump, and an aide to former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, has resigned (or was fired). This is totally expected, after Bannon resigned, but still tremendously unfortunate.

Republican spokesmen aren't very good Republicans

Since Inauguration Day, Republicans and (some) conservatives have decried the relentless media assault on the Trump administration. From Russia to Charlottesville, members of the Fourth Estate have almost without exception given this nascent presidency no quarter.

Obamacare penalties for uninsured are higher than ever

One essential aspect of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), better known as Obamacare, is the health insurance overhaul’s individual mandate. Under the 2010 law, Americans lacking health insurance coverage beginning in 2014 are required to pay a penalty. The Obama administration billed that penalty as a minor fine, but the numbers show otherwise.
