America Should Stand Up for Kurdish Independence
While America spent the weekend hotly debating the NFL & the National Anthem -- and as the world inched closer to possible war in North Korea and as millions of Puerto Ricans suffered the devastating effects of Hurricane Maria -- a small speck of land in the Middle East was about to send shockwaves through the international system. Today -- September 25, 2017 -- the Kurds of Iraq will likely… → Read More
Build The Memorial: Why The Global War on Terror Deserves a Memorial
The fallen veterans of the Global War on Terrorism deserve a national memorial. Sixteen years have passed since the vicious jihadist attacks of September 11, 2001. Sixteen years of constant war – the longest war in our nation's history. Sixteen years of deployments in some of the most hostile parts of the world – Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. And sixteen years of untold bravery and selfless… → Read More
77 Years Ago Today, Churchill Gave Defiant “We Shall Fight” Speech

Exactly 77 years ago today, the United Kingdom – through a series of miracles – had just escaped total defeat at the hands of the Nazis at Dunkirk. Winston Churchill's speech in front of Parliament on June 4, 1940, (called the → Read More
Trump is Right: Terrorists Are Evil Losers Who Worship Death

Taste of Turkey: Erdogan’s Thugs Attack Americans in the Streets of D.C.
[/embed] 2ND UPDATE: New footage has emerged (see the two videos above). As a brief refresher, on Tuesday evening (the same day as the Turkish President Erdogan met with Donald Trump) bodyguards of Erdogan attacked a small group of peaceful protesters that had gathered outside the Turkish Ambassador's residence in the District of Columbia. And now new video has emerged, provided by Voice of… → Read More
Ted Cruz: Not All Heroes Wear Capes. But None Wear RompHims.
Just yesterday, the Internet briefly united behind a fantastic new meme. The Washington Free Beacon shared the picture of a straight-laced & suited Tom Cotton, a coffee-holding & peace-sign-giving Chuck Schumer, and a gym-clothes-clad Ben Sasse hanging out on the Hill along with the caption “Caption Contest”, and the responses were truly a glorious sight to behold, uniting the Twitterverse in… → Read More

BREAKING: Congress Asks FBI for Comey Memos and Calls on Comey to Testify
In a day rocked by revelation after revelation – from President Trump's tweets defending his discussions with the Russians in the Oval Office to General McMaster's press conference, and from the controversy over the Trump administration's equivocation on whether the Western Wall is part of Israel (hint: it is) to the disclosure that the intelligence discussed by Trump with Lavrov & Kysliak… → Read More
BREAKING: President Trump Goes On Defense
Yesterday evening, the Washington Post released a bombshell story entitled “Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador” wherein they asserted that both current and former members of the intelligence community were telling them that, during their Oval Office visit last week, the President had provided the Russians with highly classified information… → Read More
BREAKING: “You’re Hired”? Leading Candidates to Replace Comey at FBI Report For Job Interview on Saturday
Ever since now-former FBI Director Jim Comey's abrupt firing that shocked Washington D.C., a number of questions have swirled: Why was Comey fired? Was Comey really asked to pledge his loyalty to the President? Why does the White House keep changing its story? Will this lead to some sort of independent commission or special prosecutor? And what does this mean for the variety of investigations… → Read More
After His Calls For Russia to Take Down Trump, The Resistance Should Resist Keith Olbermann Too
Keith Olbermann has a web video series hosted by GQ entitled “The Resistance with Keith Olbermann”. The show is reminiscent of the very worst parts (were there ever any good parts?) of his old MSNBC show “Countdown with Keith Olbermann”. These “Resistance” videos engage in the very worst excesses of political extremism, and each episode tends to range from bizarre to excruciatingly confusingly… → Read More
Leftists Literally Boo God and Concept of God-Given Rights at GOP Rep. Dave Brat’s Town Hall
Representative Dave Brat – the conservative favorite who ousted House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the Republican primary back in 2014 to represent Virginia's 7th District – held a town hall on Tuesday night, and the media narrative coming out of the constituent meeting was essentially universal. Congressman Brat is one of the most prominent members of the Freedom Caucus, helping block the… → Read More

In a letter obtained by CNN just a few minutes ago, now-former FBI Director James Comey – fired by President Donald Trump on Monday afternoon – released the following heartfelt farewell to the employees of the FBI, urging them not to focus on his firing but instead to continue to put their energies toward the safeguarding of our nation: To all: I have long believed that a President can fire an… → Read More

Le Pen Was No Trump and the French Election Was No Brexit: The Polls Got It Right This Time.
Donald Trump put out a gracious note to Emmanuel Macron on Sunday evening, congratulating him on his win over Marine Le Pen in his bid to claim the French presidency: “Congratulations to Emmanuel Macron on his big win today as the next President of France! I look very much forward to working with him!” Although Trump had words of support for Le Pen earlier this year, he had fallen well short of… → Read More
#CruzCrew One Year Later: We Still #TrusTed
“Iowa 80: The World's Largest Truck Stop!” the road sign read. Well, I thought to myself, I'm obviously stopping here. They probably could've called it “The World's Largest Tourist Trap!” too, but who cares – after 500 miles of driving down a dark wintry Midwestern highway, even the kitschy endless rows of “Iowa 80” trucker hats (one of which I bought because I'm an utterly shameless human… → Read More
Worse Than Bergdahl? An FBI Translator Married the ISIS Terrorist She Was Investigating. And The Government Hid It From The American People.
Credit where credit is due: CNN just broke a massive national security scandal wide open. There's just no other way of putting it. An FBI translator working on ISIS cases at the Bureau ended up fleeing the United States to marry a member of the very terrorist group she was supposed to be investigating -- a vicious terrorist group that has carried out countless bombings, advertised beheadings,… → Read More

Bill Nye the Science Guy’s Science Lies: The “Climate Change March” Edition
By now, most people have probably seen some of the viral videos from Bill Nye's new show – the cringe-worthy “Sex Junk” rap and the just plain disturbing “Ice Cream Cone Orgy” sketch – and you might think that's the worst of it. But you'd be wrong. In honor of the upcoming Climate Change March this weekend (not to be confused with the #MarchForScience last weekend apparently), I figured it would… → Read More
