Things got testy at a State Department media briefing when a spokesman was pressed for details Thursday on the reported “secret exemptions” given to Iran in the controversial nuclear deal. State Department spokesman John Kirby said a joint commission had given Iran “guidance” on specific parts of the agreement. But when pressed by Reuters reporter Arshad Mohammed on the “consensus” […]

Killing and selling babies makes a lot of money. In the wake of nine videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s lucrative organ harvesting business, many Americans are probably wondering how anyone could tear a baby apart and then sell their body parts for profit. But if you found out that Planned Parenthood’s top employees make over a quarter of a million dollars […]

This post by Jihad Watch tech expert Marc offers extraordinary insight into how Google skews its presentation of information in order to manipulate people into accepting half-truths and falsehoods that serve the Left’s agenda. He explains how Google deliberately manipulates its results when one searches for the word “jihad” — and doubtless this is just one of countless examples of […]

A black pastor who is best known for tweeting a cartoon of Hillary in blackface is now blaming racism because the media found out that he lied about his biography.

On Friday, just before a long holiday weekend, the FBI released the notes from its interview with Hillary Clinton over her e-mail scandal. The revelations couldn’t be more problematic. Even NBC News couldn’t defend Clinton: Documents reveal that Clinton, who as secretary of State bypassed her State Department email and installed a private email server at her home in Chappaqua, […]

Donald Trump can’t stop waffling on his wall, or on his immigration policies as a whole. This week, the question of Mexico paying has been a hot one. From Trump’s denial that it came up in Mexico, to the Mexican President stating unequivocally that he told Trump Mexico would not pay, to Trump’s speech where he said they don’t know […]

When asked about G-d, Trump brags about himself, his deals, and his wealth. Since today Trump is all about church, I thought I would drudge up this little video of him answering the very important question, “who is G-d to you?” He brings all the intellectual gravity and theological profundity that we’ve come to expect from the Donald, and it’s […]

Turkey has once again threatened to tear up a controversial migrant deal and send hundreds of thousands of asylum-seekers to Europe if its citizens are not granted visa-free travel to the European Union within months. Mevlut Cavusoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, demanded the EU drop visa requirements for Turkish citizens by October. Meanwhile, Syrian children are being raped and abused inside and […]

Mollie Hemingway from the Federalist tweeted this out and I thought it’d be a perfect open thread for today. Plus, it’s very catchy: FREE BEACON – CNN confirmed live on air Friday that a Hillary Clinton aide destroyed some of the former secretary of state’s used mobile devices with hammers, affirming information contained in the FBI’s investigation of Clinton’s private […]

Trump has long said that Mexico would pay for the wall. When asked about how that would happen in the past, he suggesting making them pay for it through trade tariffs. Now he’s apparently mulling new ways to make Mexico pay for the wall, except it won’t actually be the Mexican government paying for it: FOX NEWS – While Donald […]

Online volunteers, who wish to help Don by making phone calls to potential voters, are required to sign this lengthy non-disclosure, non-compete, and non-disparagement agreement.According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, this is a first, […]

The media have spent weeks railing against anyone for asking questions about Hillary Clinton’s obviously questionable health. There’s been rampant speculation about everything from her ability to stand without a stool to her capacity to get into an SUV without an extra step. Her constant absence from the campaign trail and unwillingness to travel to campaign key spots like Louisiana […]

If Trump wanted to get Hillary Clinton elected, what would he do differently? In the past, he had staff shake ups that overshadowed all the Hillary news. When the FBI email scandal broke and people of all political persuasions were angry about it and distrust of Hillary was growing, Trump found a way to distract from it all. Every single […]

SO Trump’s Hispanic outreach is suffering a bit of a setback after HALF of his Hispanic Advisory Board says they’re resigning today: Politico got some reaction from the conservative Hispanics about why they’re leaving the campaign in disgust: Jacob Monty, a member of Trump’s National Hispanic Advisory Council, has resigned, and Alfonso Aguilar, the president of the Latino Partnership for […]

The IRS published a new rule Friday that said for tax purposes, it will interpret the term “husband and wife” as any two people who are married to each other, even if they are a same-sex couple.

Donald Trump delivered a speech on Wednesday sticking to his hard-line policies on immigration, but on Thursday morning the Republican presidential nominee said he’ll be “softening” his stance on the issue in a radio interview. “The line last week [was] you were softening on immigration, then you come out with a very specific, very pro-enforcement plan last night. Where’s the […]

I really thought this was a joke at first! George Soros ties… Goldman Sachs running his campaign… And now ‘Make Mexico Great Again’ hats? Following Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s visit to Mexico on Wednesday, two of the billionaire’s supporters were seen wearing hats with the words “Make Mexico Great Again Also.” Trump campaign surrogates Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) and […]

Immigrants who worked for the Trump modeling agency say they were made to break immigrations laws to do it. Here’s the report from Mother Jones: …the mogul’s New York modeling agency, Trump Model Management, has profited from using foreign models who came to the United States on tourist visas that did not permit them to work here, according to three […]

The rise of Donald Trump can mostly be attributed to the support he sees from those seeking a nationalist and populist candidate. The majority of his supporters believe in “America first”, that the United States should be the most important country and that any sense of globalism is anti-American. It will no doubt please them to know, then, that Donald […]

Sadly, it’s what we’ve come to expect from the Obama administration who seems to be more of an ally to Iran than to the US: REUTERS – The United States and its negotiating partners agreed “in secret” to allow Iran to evade some restrictions in last year’s landmark nuclear agreement in order to meet the deadline for it to start […]

We knew the Clinton Foundation relied on a variety of deep-pocketed donors, but did we realize that many of those donors included us? According to a shocking new report from Politico, Bill Clinton’s aides used taxpayer funds to subsidize the Clinton Foundation, an associated business, and Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Politico’s investigation found that American tax dollars went toward the purchasing […]

Just over a month after receiving the GOP’s nomination to be its candidate for president, a strong and growing majority of Republicans are concluding that it made a very bad decision. Seventeen candidates ran for the Republican presidential nomination this year. A majority of GOP voters now say that they wish they’d picked one of the 16 who weren’t Donald […]

To leftists, the American flag is racist… unless it’s a gay LGBTQIAPK rainbow flag. Owasso High School students contend officials turned them away from a school football game on Friday because they wanted to bring American flags into the event. The incident occurred on the same night that a South Carolina high school banned students from displaying American flags at a […]

Ted Cruz would have worked to abolish the IRS but so-called “conservatives” voted in liberal reality TV clown Donald Trump who supported Hillary Clinton. The IRS is not notifying taxpayers when their Social Security numbers are stolen, the agency’s inspector general said Tuesday, confirming an April admission from the agency’s top official. “The IRS has not established an effective process […]

Jerusalem – A member of the Joint List alliance of Arab parties in the Knesset has demanded that the State show “consistency” in its treatment of the Arab minority, and allow him to vote multiple times on a single piece of legislation, as it apparently allows him to maintain multiple wives, and he must therefore be more than one person. […]

Trump also gave Weiner $150 when he ran for the New York City […]

Rush Limbaugh, no matter his protestations otherwise, is one of the main reasons Donald Trump is the nominee for the GOP today. Like Fox News and other Republican media, he has cheered for Trump and Trump’s rhetoric and Trump’s rise all along. One of the things that so-called conservative media has cheered the loudest and with the most fervor, indeed […]

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has detected breaches in Illinois and Arizona’s voter registration databases, a U.S. official confirmed to multiple news outlets late Monday. Russian hackers are believed to be behind the leaking of voter records, which included citizens’ names, home addresses, driver’s license information and party affiliations. Officials have not disclosed when the compromises took place or the […]

Why would you need to protect this place from an airstrike if you’re doing what you promised? Right after the Iran Deal was signed by President Obama — who is the only person to have signed it, as the Iranian parliament passed an alternative version that calls for the end of Israel’s nuclear program rather than their own — Russia […]

Donald Trump’s current immigration policy would deport a laughably low number of illegal immigrants… that is, if he doesn’t cave or flip-flop AGAIN. Donald Trump’s statements throughout the last week about deporting illegal immigrants suggest that the percentage of illegal immigrants he wants to deport is tremendously low. The Republican presidential nominee’s statements in recent days have been inconsistent, but the […]

In a previously little-noticed video from February at the Clinton Global Initiative, former President Bill Clinton suggested that the U.S. use Syrian refugees to rebuild Detroit. “The truth is that the big loser in this over the long run is going to be Syria. This is an enormous opportunity for Americans,” Bill Clinton said about the Syrian migrant crisis. Detroit […]

Last week we saw CIA head John Brennan testify that ISIS has “a large cadre” of foreign fighters to serve in attacking the West, and also that ISIS was probably using refugee flows as a means of vectoring its agents into the West.  Now a former high-level intelligence officer claims that he has a source that gives a more specific figure. […]

This week, Donald Trump praised a possible challenger to Ted Cruz in the 2018 Texas Senate primary, even as he vindicated one of Cruz’s strongest arguments. Infamously, Trump weakened his stance on immigration — his signature issue — drawing the ire of none other than Ann Coulter, who just released a book titled “In Trump We Trust. Shortly after Cruz […]

Stephen Bannon, the chief executive of Trump’s election campaign, has an active voter registration at a house that is vacant. We seem to be All-Bannon-All-The-Time this morning (see these posts by by colleagues Susan Wright and Joe Cunningham), but this is just too good to let pass. Over the years, Trump campaign manager Steve Bannon’s alt-right advocacy site, Breitbart.com, has carried on […]

Hillary’s ‘charity’ connected to Nigerian-Lebanese donor Gilbert Chagoury, who donated $1 million. Hillary Clinton’s rendezvous with scandals during her tenure as Secretary of State has refused to subside yet again – this time linking her and the Clinton Foundation to a donor who allegedly has ties to Hezbollah. When the latest batch of emails sent and received from Clinton’s private […]

Gee wiz, ya think? Actions by Iranian vessels in several encounters with U.S. warships in the Gulf this week are cause for concern and increase risks of miscalculation, the White House said on Friday, according to Reuters. On Thursday, it was revealed that a U.S. Navy coastal patrol ship fired three warning shots at an Iranian ship that sailed within […]

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick remained seated on the bench during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the beginning of Friday night’s loss to the Green Bay Packers, while the rest of his teammates and coaches stood, according to CBS Sports. Why? Well, it wasn’t because he was tired or injured. After the game he told NFL.com, “I […]

Chris Christie got pretty defensive about whether a report was true that he was the source of Trump’s “softening” [on illegal amnesty]. I love how all of sudden Christie is shy about seizing credit for something. It’s probably because the brain-addled buffoon hasn’t actually figured out what his position is and Christie can’t tell if he’ll get the credit, or the […]

Two black males in Milwaukee walked up to the home of a white family, in a majority black neighborhood, and unleashed a hail of gunfire. A five year old white girl, Laylah Petersen, was murdered while sitting on her grandfather’s lap.

Piccard added that “he didn’t want the girls to go to school […]

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is selling pro-LGBTQ merchandise on the GOP nominee’s website. “Show your pride and your support for Trump with this exclusive equality tee,” reads the Trump shop’s description of the “Trump Pride Men’s Tee.” The 2016 Republican nominee’s outreach to the LGBTQ community is much different than any of his predecessors in the role. As part of […]
