Gawker reported Sunday that its staffers created a parody account designed to mock Trump's bid for the White House in ...
Ex-CIA and NASA Bigwig Drops Enormous Bombshell on Trump Campaign

Ex-CIA and NASA Bigwig Drops Enormous Bombshell on Trump Campaign Donald Trump is making a lot of big promises on the campaign trail, and there are some pretty interesting implications that go with them too. For example, if Trump were elected, the rest of the U.S. government would have to follow his orders, no matter how outlandish or unwise they may seem. Or would they? If you stop and think about it, you’ll quickly realize that it’s not out of the realm of reality that certain members of the government could simply dig in their heels and tell Trump “no” if he enters the White House. Look no further than Ex-CIA and NASA head Michael Hayden’s comments for ...

Nancy Reagan, one of the most high-profile and influential first ladies of the 20th century, has died. She was 94. The cause of death was congestive heart failure, according to her rep Joanne Drake, a spokeswoman with the Reagan Library. "Mrs. Reagan will be buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, next to her husband, Ronald Wilson Reagan, who died on June 5, 2004," Drake wrote in a statement. "Prior to the funeral service, there will be an opportunity for members of the public to pay their respects at the Library." "It is a very sad day," former Ronald Reagan Chief of Staff Ken Duberstein told NBC News. "Every ...

In an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Reagan administration veteran-turned-Democratic senator from Virginia turned short-term presidential candidate Jim Webb said twice that he could not support Hillary Clinton if she won the Democratic nomination for president. “No, I would not vote for Hillary Clinton,” Webb said.

Neocon Armchair Warhawks Panic Over Trump Foreign Policy

The neocons are renowned for their courage on the battlefield. There is no keyboard they are afraid to finger. No pen they won’t commandeer. When the battle cry is sounded, they unhesitatingly push the “on” button at their computers and saddle up for battle. Off with the loafers and under the desk! “Caution to the wind! Bring in a wine spritzer, dammit, I’m off to waaar!” While this Institute and this column most definitely do not take a position on any candidate and in fact your correspondent views voting itself with disdain in today’s corrupt US political system, it is impossible to avoid viewing with extreme amusement the collective neocon hysterical ...
Hillary Clinton’s False Hopes
Post Date: 2016-03-03 07:09:57 by Ada

Surely, Hillary Clinton hopes for the happy conclusion to the maddening string of primaries and caucuses that have exhausted her. Surely, she hopes to be the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party this year. And surely, she hopes to be elected president. These hopes are realistic probabilities in her own mind. But if she is hoping for the end to her legal woes, that is a false hope – and she knows it. The relentless barrage of bad legal news for Clinton, which has been relegated to below-the-fold stories because of the primary news position of the presidential primary contests, must keep her and her lawyers up late at night. While her husband has been arguing with military ...

Trump Just Lit Up the Internet with This Brutal One-Liner about Obama Regardless of where you stand about Donald Trump, one thing is certain, he sure can ruffle the feathers of liberals more than most conservatives. Mr. Trump has never been shy about sharing his feelings, and he rightly believes Political Correctness belongs in the garbage bin next to the Socialist philosophy. So, it should come as no surprise, but slightly amusing, that when Mr. Trump weighed in about President Obama skipping the funeral of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, liberals had a fit. According to Western Journalism: Donald Trump took to his favorite form of social media Saturday morning and once again ...

“The main problem in any democracy is that crowd-pleasers are generally brainless swine who can go out on a stage & whup their supporters into an orgiastic frenzy— then go back to the office & sell every one of the poor bastards down the tube for a nickel apiece.” ― Hunter S. Thompson Politics today is not about Republicans and Democrats. Nor is it about healthcare, abortion, higher taxes, free college tuition, or any of the other buzzwords that have become campaign slogans for individuals who have mastered the art of telling Americans exactly what they want to hear. Politics today is about one thing and one thing only: maintaining the status quo between the ...
GOP Makes Shocking Announcement about SCOTUS Appointment

GOP Makes Shock Announcement about SCOTUS Appointment Screen Shot 2016-02-23 at 4.48.41 PM Conservatives have had plenty of reason to complain abut the GOP over the past few months (and years). One of those things when Paul Ryan hosed conservatives by passing a huge billion dollar Omnibus bill, then there was what they did to allow Obama to keep the ACA in place. There’s also how they’ve failed to keep Obama accountable on the VA scandal; and the list goes on. However, when Justice Anton Scalia passed away the liberals started to chomp at the bit to get a liberal appointee in place. Initially the GOP stalwarts in the Senate said they’d resist any appointment. And, in a ...

Famous Magazine Editor Makes Alarming Claim about Gun Industry’s Desire For Dem President Screen Shot 2016-02-19 at 5.23.17 PM Ever since Obama came into office back in 2008 we’ve seen gun sales spike. It makes sense, people are afraid to see their second amendment rights decimated, so when a legitimate challenger to the second amendment takes office there’s a knee jerk reaction to the threat. Obama himself has said he’s done more for gun sales than anyone else. That’s fair. Ultimately though, people buy guns with Obama in office because they’re afraid they’re not going to be able to get them later… However, even if he wasn’t in office ...
The Constitution and the Standing Army

The U.S. Constitution can reasonably be seen as a massive tax and mercantilist trade-promotion program. However, there’s a third leg to this stool. It was a national-security program as well – almost a proto-PATRIOT Act. Indeed, these three elements formed an integrated project: it gave the new central government independent power to raise revenue by taxing individuals directly and to establish an army and navy in order to advance, by force if necessary, American trade. This, I submit, was not exactly a libertarian project. It let a terrifying genie out of the bottle ostensibly in order to contain it. Or, as James Madison put it, “You must first enable the government to ...

Three-time candidate for president Ron Paul said Wednesday he does not like any of the remaining GOP candidates in the 2016 race, and would not support Donald Trump if he were to win the Republican nomination. Trump has been able to tap into the anger and fear of a large "minority" of voters, Paul told CNBC's "Squawk Box." He said the billionaire businessman acts like he has all the answers but "zero" realistic solutions to the problems facing the nation. "I hear the ability of politicians to capitalize on the worries," the libertarian Republican continued. "They're able to use the blame game." Paul served 12 terms as a U.S. ...

There is only one possible choice: a brilliant economist and historian, a long- time public servant (no quotation marks needed), an expert on government, a life- long outsider and opponent of the establishment, and–among many other virtues–a man who would bring theoretical rigor to your inchoate non-interventionism. I have only one question: would Ron Paul take it? If not, Fed chairman is another possibility. UPDATE From Jay Stephenson: Ron Paul would be gold (no pun intended), but if the rumors turn out to be true and he picks Joe Scarborough, I honestly think that would be a winning ticket. I’m not a fan of Scarborough, but it would be apolitically smart choice. ...

All politics is staged ‘reality’ Posted on February 26, 2016 by Bob Livingston audience at CNN Democratic debate Politics is not what the people assume it to be. American voters these days are actively working to elect someone who will right the sinking ship of state. They go to the polls in good faith. They vote in good faith. They caucus and they volunteer to work for campaigns in good faith. But they believe a lie. Politics is staged. It’s not reality. To the establishment, politics is both a game and a livelihood. Politicians, consultants, pollsters and campaign operatives are in the game for the money and power and prestige. They have no core values. This applies ...

Put aside the capable former Supreme Court litigator, who polls say can beat Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz. What is happening to the Trump story? Stories are appearing with facts hard to ignore, even for Trump supporters. Something in his story is beginning to not ring true. Trump offers three things that appeal – bluntness, political incorrectness, and self-claimed business acumen. The ...
With Donald Trump Looming, Should Dems Take a Huge Electability Gamble by Nominating Hillary Clinton?

Many Democrats will tell you that there has rarely, if ever, been a more menacing or evil presidential candidate than Donald Trump. “Trump is the most dangerous major candidate for president in memory,” pronounced Vox‘s Ezra Klein two weeks ago. With a consensus now emerging that the real estate mogul is the likely GOP nominee, it would stand to reason that the most important factor for many Democrats in choosing their own nominee is electability: meaning, who has the best chance of defeating the GOP Satan in the general election? In light of that, can Democrats really afford to take such a risky gamble by nominating Hillary Clinton? In virtually every poll, her rival, ...

American parents might well rue the day that they refused to listen to us libertarians about the importance of dismantling the Cold War-era, dinosaur-like national-security establishment, or what President Eisenhower called the “military-industrial complex.” That’s because they might well see their daughters seized by the federal government, taken involuntarily to military boot camp, taught how to unconditionally obey orders barked at them, and killed or maimed in the defense of South Korea, Montenegro, Poland, or some other nation that the United States is automatically committed to defending as part of its many collective-defense treaties. Two members of the Joint Chiefs ...

After Jeb Bush Tweets Picture Of His Pistol The Most Upsetting Thing Happened Screen Shot 2016-02-17 at 8.11.16 PM The anti-gun press never wastes a single opportunity to defame gun owners, do they? Every time there’s a shooting (typically a mass shooting) it’s us, the gun owners’ desire the second amendment not be curtailed to blame. Not the violent criminal or their typical reliance on psychoactive pharmaceuticals. And their most recent attempt to besmirch gun owner’s is reprehensible. See, this is what happened. Jeb Bush went and toured the FN factory to help endear himself to gun owners. Truly Jeb needs all the help he can get. While there FN gifted him with ...

Donald Trump Believes That He'll Face Hillary Clinton in the General Election Donald Trump said Monday night that he believes Hillary Clinton will likely get away with her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state. But the GOP front-runner quickly revived the visibly disappointed Las Vegas audience by promising that as president, he would be sure to prosecute Clinton. Fox News' Sean Hannity asked Trump in front of a live Nevada audience if his attorney general would go after Clinton should an investigation find she broke the law while serving in the Obama administration. "I think you have to do that," Trump responded, delivering some of his ...

The best of the country’s military might—nine infantry companies, four artillery batteries, nine platoons and two military orchestras—will march past the president, dignitaries and honorable guests, presenting all types of weaponry at Estonia’s arsenal, both U.S. and Soviet-made.

Something Trump Said about Muslims Was Actually Proven Right In NH Liberals thought when Donald Trump said he was going to be tough on Muslim immigrants his belief was nothing more than something teetering on the fringe. They couldn’t for the life of them think the rest of America thought that way. However, what happened in NH earlier this week proved to liberals Trump was hitting on the rawest of nerves, a nerve that was open and aggravated and needed someone who would honestly tend to it. Whatever do we mean? Take a look at the video below. Some two-thirds of Republican voters in New Hampshire expressed support for a ban on Muslims entering the United States, an idea espoused ...

Obama promises to raise human rights questions on his trip to Cuba Olivier Knox Chief Washington Correspondent February 18, 2016 President Obama on Thursday promised to raise human rights concerns when he makes a legacy-defining visit to Cuba in March, as the White House tried to beat back Republican charges that the trip will hand an important symbolic victory to the authoritarian government in Havana. “We still have differences with the Cuban government that I will raise directly. America will always stand for human rights around the world,” the White House announced on Obama’s official Twitter feed. Obama had told Yahoo News in an exclusive interview in December ...

Obama Makes Shocking Announcement Concerning Scalia’s Death The battle for Scalia’s seat is under way. Since Obama is in office for another 10 months, he has the ability to appoint a justice in Scalia’s place. Of course conservatives won’t want to approve his appointee, so there’s a bit of tension. However, in light of Scalia’s death one would think the President would do his best to attend the Judge’s funeral; considering he’s not going to be out of town you’d he’d make it. But he’s not, and that’s pretty lame. NBC writes: President Barack Obama will not attend Justice Antonin Scalia’s funeral Saturday, the White House ...
Why Are Neocons So Desperate To Rescue al-Qaeda in Syria?

Reading Dennis Ross and David Ignatius is a good reminder that the neocons live in a different world than the rest of us. They do not conform their analysis to reality, but rather they conform reality to their view of the world. Where most people would be encouraged to read that Aleppo in Syria was about to be liberated from its 3.5 year occupation by al-Qaeda’s Syrian franchise, the neocons see a disaster. On the brink of al-Qaeda’s defeat in Aleppo, the Washington Post‘s Ignatius is furious that, “President Obama won’t approve military tactics that could actually shift the balance.” Yes, he wants to shift the balance toward al-Qaeda because like the other ...
