University Bans Professor For “Siding With Christians In The Culture War”
Colin Kaepernick’s publicity-grabbing, America-hating stunts have blossomed during the past year. Dozens of NFL players have joined in, prompting reactions from both the President and Vice President that have added to the frenzy. Kaepernick’s distraction has been a spectacular success, at least for him (though NFL owners might see things slightly differently). Virtually nobody discusses how much… → Read More
MT Senate Race: Rosendale Shouldn’t Appease McConnell
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has long made it his mission to destroy conservatives in Senate primaries. He backed Charlie Crist over Marco Rubio in Florida, Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania, Trey Grayson over Rand Paul in Kentucky, David Dewhurst over Ted Cruz in Texas and Bob Bennett over Mike Lee in Utah. There are other examples, but you get the idea. When an… → Read More
Murkowski Should Lose Her Committee Chairmanship
Last Friday, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) joined two other “Republican” senators in tanking Obamacare repeal efforts. Prior to that, Donald Trump had huffed and puffed about Murkowski's earlier defections: His Interior Secretary, Ryan Zinke, called Murkowski to threaten her with the scuttling of federal programs in Alaska. Murkowski responded by giving Trump and his boy the finger. She… → Read More
White House C***blocking Isn’t Impressing Kim Jung-Un
Sometimes a swatted fly reveals more than a fly on the wall. From today's Washington Post: Trump’s demeaning of Priebus came through in other ways, too. At one point, during a meeting in the Oval Office, a fly began buzzing overhead, distracting the president. As the fly continued to circle, Trump summoned his chief of staff and tasked him with killing the insect, according to someone familiar… → Read More
Zinke’s Threats Against Murkowski Are a Charade
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke supposedly called Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) yesterday afternoon following her “no” vote on repealing Obamacare and told her there's gonna be hell to pay for Alaskans. Yeah. That’ll show her. Except for one thing. Murkowski stated for weeks that she was opposed to repealing Obamacare. So if Zinke’s threat was real, and he and his boss had really cared about… → Read More
If the GOP Continues Funding Planned Parenthood, Christians Should Defund the GOP
They told us to give them the House and they’d repeal Obamacare. We did that in 2010. Then they said they needed the Senate. We gave them that in 2014. Then they needed the White House. We got that for them in November 2016. Now they say they’ve hit a snag because Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, a hack appointed by Harry Reid (D-NV) in 2012, ruled that provisions of the Obamacare… → Read More
Will Trump Get Played By McConnell? Or is Trump Playing Along?
Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and most other Senate Republicans played conservatives for fools in 2015. As explained in detail by Patterico at RedState earlier today, a Senate vote in 2015 to repeal Obamacare was a farce – everyone knew Barack Obama would veto it and thus Republican senators got a free chance to mollify home state conservatives. Fastforward to the present. As Sen. Ron Johnson… → Read More
Don’t Let Senate Democrats Blue Slip the 2nd Amendment
Republicans prevented Senate Democrats from filibustering Neil Gorsush’s nomination, thereby enabling a simple majority of senators to seat a Second Amendment champion on the Supreme Court. But Senate Democrats are threatening to use a different Senate rule to defeat other pro-Second Amendment nominees. Democrats’ Use of Blue Slips Against Lower-Court Nominees Senator Michael Bennet (D-Colo.)… → Read More
The New York Times’ Absurdity is the Best Defense Against Palin’s Suit
Sarah Palin sued the New York Times yesterday over its editorial claiming that SarahPAC’s advertisements resulted in former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz) getting shot in 2011. The editorial was so absurd that the Times retracted it the following day: Nevertheless, the Times will have the upper hand in court. This is partly because Palin is a public figure for purposes of defamation law and… → Read More
SCOTUS Gives Christian Baker, & All Believers, Their Day In Court
George Orwell once said that “if you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.” In a few months, the Supreme Court will let Christians know whether the future has arrived. The Court just agreed to hear a case filed by Jack Phillips, who owns Masterpiece Cakeshop, a Denver-area bakery. As his attorneys explain, Phillips is not just a baker – he’s an artist:… → Read More
Video Shows Abortionists’ Savagery, So, Of Course, The Videographer & His Lawyers Must Be Jailed
Upton Sinclair published “The Jungle” in 1906. Within months, Congress enacted the Pure Food & Drug Act in response to the book’s exposure of the filth permeating Chicago’s meatpacking and livestock butchering industry. David Daleiden’s videos are exposing the filth of today’s human butchering industry. Daleiden is an undercover journalist who, as described by LifeSite News, produces undercover… → Read More
EXCLUSIVE: The Greg Gianforte You Haven’t Met
Virgil said that “...no day shall erase you from the memory of time.” Likewise, a momentary outburst does not erase a lifetime of enriching thousands of souls. Much of the nation’s introduction to Greg Gianforte consists of a ten-second audiotape recorded on Wednesday. But you probably haven’t met the Greg many of us in Montana have known for years. The one who, with his wife Susan, has donated… → Read More
