Fireworks
at the GOP Debate?
Trump
is leading the Republican nomination race and because many candidates
are stuck in the single digits, we can expect big fireworks. This
might be some candidates' last chance to break out of their low polling
numbers. Expect candidates to argue vigorously against Trump. Expect some
candidates to pick fights with Trump. Expect that the Club for Growth's (a
group that seeks prosperity and opportunity through economic freedom) e-mail
letter will come up during the debate. Last weekend, they issued a
scathing attack on Trump. According to the Club for Growth: "The Club believes that Donald is the worst Republican candidate on
economic issues - plain and simple." [Go here for a complete analysis...]
Refugees
or Trojan Horse?
By
Joe
Messina
ISIS
flags are being found among the so-called refugees. A captured ISIS smuggler
confessed to bringing in over 4,000 ISIS fighters. How? Well, the Turkish
border is over 550 miles long and is almost never guarded. While authorities
are checking in the refugees and keeping peace in the cities, the borders and
other avenues into Europe are poorly or completely unguarded. Picture after
picture now shows these "refugees" coming in and fighting with
authorities, beating the police with ISIS flags. The Germans are floored! They
can't believe this is happening. One terrorist, posing as an "asylum
seeker," was arrested in Germany after he was found to be in possession of
boxes of fake Syrian passports for use by ISIS terrorists in Europe. Hungary
has matched pictures of "refugees" and "ISIS terrorists" on
the Internet. This is insane! [more...]
Obey
the Same Sex Marriage Laws or Face Jail Time
Kim
Davis is not an advocate for religious freedom. She is not an advocate for
traditional marriage. She is a delusional, low-level civil employee who broke
the law. On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the 14th amendment
requires all states to issue marriage licenses and recognize out-of-state
licenses for same-sex couples. Regardless of your opinion on same-sex marriage,
the law is the law. There are processes to change the law, but it is the duty
of no one to take the law into his or her own hands. Moreover, Kim Davis's job
was to file marriage licenses, not interpret the Constitution. Davis claims she
refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples because it contradicted her
faith – this is an impossible argument to uphold. By this logic, a Jewish
postman could refuse to deliver Christmas cards. It's ridiculous. Beyond the failed logic of
Kim Davis, she directly violated an order of the Supreme Court. [more...]
Trump
Dominates Late Night
By
James
Hirsen
Those
who have been following the 2016 presidential campaign thus far recognize what
a natural outlet late-night television is for Donald Trump. His first such
appearance since he announced his presidential bid took place at the end of
last week on the set of "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon. Ratings
for the Trump-featured broadcast were the highest Friday ratings in 18 months
for the infotainment program. According to Nielsen, the NBC late-night show
attracted 4.5 million viewers. In his "Tonight Show" appearance, the
GOP frontrunner was able to promote his campaign. In parallel fashion, he was
also able to display a talent over which few of the current presidential
candidates can presently claim, facile delivery of self-deprecating humor. [more...]
How Obama Bullies a Weak Republican Congress
Obama's
position has been straightforward, at least privately. He will do whatever he
wants and no one will stop him. He has repeatedly defied Congress and the
courts to do so. While he plays the game of giving speeches in which he demands
that Congress do X or Y, it's in practice shut out of the process. Here's how
it worked on the Iran Deal: Obama made it clear to Democrats in Congress that
he would implement the deal no matter what. The Republican leadership by now
has gotten the message. The message is that Congressional voters are
irrelevant. They don't affect policy unless the dictator-in-chief allows them
to. [more...]
Political Correctness is Ruining America
By
Dave
Bego
Many Americans are posing the question "Is America Too PC?" The
easy answer is, absolutely. The more important answer, however, is much more
complex. Do we want all people to be treated fairly and provided equal
opportunity regardless of their background and personal preferences and
beliefs? Absolutely.
Do we want America to be the land of opportunity for all? Absolutely. Do we want all
legal Americans to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as stated
in The Declaration of Independence? Absolutely.
Do we want people who desire to bring down the greatest country the world has
ever known, a country that has provided more opportunity for people and
advanced civilization and the standard of living more than any other country in
the history of the world to use "political correctness" to destroy
it? Absolutely not!
