Forget Russia - Lobbyists Are The Real Influencers of U.S. Elections

Forget Russia - Lobbyists Are The Real Influencers of U.S. Elections There is plenty of real collusion in Washington, but it has very little to do with Russia. It's the unholy alliance between lobbyists and politicians that have caused the most damage to America's democracy. Lobbyists and special interest groups openly try to influence our elections for their own gain to the detriment of the country and yet there has never been an investigation.

Leftist Rage Over Citizenship Question

Leftist Rage Over Citizenship Question Left-wingers have been throwing an extended temper tantrum across the nation after the Trump administration announced it plans to ask individuals responding to the 2020 U.S. Census if they are American citizens. Racist. Sexist. Xenophobic. That’s what you are if you dare to believe it is perfectly reasonable in a Census questionnaire to ask respondents if they’re citizens of this country, according to Democrats.

New Strzok-Page text indicate coordination between Obama WH, FBI, CIA, Harry Reid at launch of Probe

New Strzok / Page texts indicate coordination between Obama WH, FBI, CIA, and Harry Reid at the launch of Russia probe It's getting hard to keep track of all the lies Democrats have told about the investigation into supposed "Russian collusion" with the Trump campaign. From the origins of "the dossier," to the FISA application, to the whole wiretapping scandal the falsehoods, half-truths, and untenable innuendo has been piling up for over a year. To keep track of them all, you'd need one of those crazy conspiracy theorist walls with red string connecting all the players.

The DDD (Dirty Dog of the Day)

The DDD (Dirty Dog of the Day) Remember how George Bush was demonized by the Left/Media with daily body count updates of the war? Remember how he was considered some kind of hayseed for some of his remarks? The same thing happened with Dan Quayle with his spelling of potato (even though he was actually saying what he saw written on the spelling card by the teacher)?

Former FBI agent is second person charged in crackdown with leaking classified information

Former FBI agent is second person charged in crackdown with leaking classified information Actually the rules on the handling of classified information apply to everyone, even Hillary Clinton. At least in theory they do. In practice almost no one is ever charged with the leaks, which is why they go on constantly, and federal employees, contractors and members of Congress toss around leaks like dinner rolls to serve their ideological or personal agendas.

Switched off

Julian Assange has had his Internet access cut off and the world knows about it, although obviously not from him. He has made the use of the Internet his tool or weapon to spread information that others don't want spread and this has made him a number of enemies but seemingly few friends. With the spread of so much fake news there is a need to spread real news even if it is confronting, although there have been concerns that he may have endangered a number of people as well.

California’s Sanctuary Treason

California's Sanctuary Treason In California, the City of Los Alamitos has declared that they refuse to abide by California's sanctuary status. Therefore, they have chosen to opt-out of California's sanctuary law (A.B. 54). Other cities, and Orange County, are hearing the call, and have decided to follow suit. California cities and counties not only have every right to opt-out of the State's ill-conceived and unconstitutional sanctuary State status, they are obligated by law to do so.

What Easter Means to Me

What Easter Means to Me I look at my life before Christ and I am struck by the fact that it doesn’t seem like my life. I was born again on Palm Sunday in 1980. I was thirty years old. That has been thirty-eight years ago. When I was first saved, I mourned for all the years I had spent wasting my life trying to do it on my own. I remember praying and asking God to give me as many years to serve Him as I had wasted denying Him. Now, that is just one of the answered prayers in my life.

Small Business Reaction to 2018 Ontario Budget

Small Business Reaction to 2018 Ontario Budget TORONTO – The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is disappointed that the provincial government missed another opportunity to directly offset the rising payroll costs for small business as a result of the recent minimum wage hike and labour reforms. Instead, the province has decided to embark on a pre-election spending spree, abandoning any spending restraint and fiscal discipline.
