President Trump’s Unmasking of the Establishment

by

Since President Donald Trump took office, he has been consistently strategic in working to dismantle the radical, leftwing legacy of his predecessor. – Newt Gingrich

Change – even sudden change – can appear almost subtle when viewed on a day-to-day basis.

Think about these questions:

How do you see the Democratic Party?

How do you see the Republican Party?

What is your opinion of various GOP Congressional members?

How do you view Congressional Leadership?

How do you regard the major Federal Agencies and Departments?

How do you see the Mainstream Media?

How do you feel about Hollywood?Continue Reading

Mulvaney’s CFPB Oversight & Pocahontas’ Panic

by

Whenever Democrats work themselves into a lather, a question is always worth asking:

What are they trying to hide?

Case in point, Elizabeth Warren’s frantic rants over President Trump’s appointment of Mick Mulvaney (Director of the Office of Management and Budget) as Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has a nice sounding name that hides a darker agenda.Continue Reading

Negative Rights, Healthcare & Dream Homes

by

The Constitution is a charter of negative rather than positive liberties – Judge Richard Posner

One of my favorite childhood sayings comes to me from my father:

Liberalism is like baby fat. It melts away as you grow older.

Sadly, I don’t find that statement to be as true as it once was. Shifting demographics play a part. Our failing schools are deserving of greater blame.

Most adults fail to understand that our Constitution is a Charter of Negative Rights – and the crucial role Negative Rights play in our lives.Continue Reading

Contortions over Clinton

by

It must have been a strange week for the Liberal set.

The scandal over Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore has now morphed into a competition of which Liberal could throw Bill Clinton under the bus – the hardest and fastest – while simultaneously defending Democrat Senator Al Franken.

Jake Tapper summed it up nicely:Continue Reading

Shepard Smith Ignores Damning Facts in Uranium One Scandal

by

Uranium One is back in the news thanks to Shepard Smith, who laid out his version of events relating to Uranium One. From Smith’s monologue:

Here’s the accusation. Nine people involved in the deal made donations to the Clinton Foundation totaling more than $140 million. In exchange, Secretary of State [Hillary] Clinton approved the sale to the Russians, a quid-pro-quo.

That statement is inaccurate in a number of ways.Continue Reading

A Koi Feeding, the MSM’s Lies & Hard Truths from Glenn

by

I started my day with the ridiculousness of mainstream reporters in an uproar over President Trump feeding Koi with Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

What upset these shining beacons of journalistic integrity was a video of President Trump seemingly – and unceremoniously – dumping his entire box of Koi food into the pond.

Except that’s not what happened.Continue Reading

FOIA Documents, FBI Preservation Requests, the CFIUS & Uranium One

by

By now, everyone is aware – at least to some extent – of Hillary Clinton’s involvement in the Uranium One transaction. It ultimately generated almost $150 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation and resulted in the sale of 20% of U.S. Uranium to Russia.

It was a transaction that should never have been allowed to occur.

It turns out there may be much more to the story.Continue Reading
