Get
Ready for President Trump
By
Wayne Allyn Root
The
stock market is crashing, the economy is in reverse, Sarah Palin is back in the
headlines, and Hillary Clinton is in freefall. All the ducks are falling in
place for Donald Trump. The latest poll shows Trump leading 42 to 12 and
establishment favorites Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and John Kasich
are all in single digits. It’s all over folks. Get used to Donald Trump
as your GOP nominee. Keep in mind, Trump hasn’t spent any serious money yet.
What happens when he drops $500 million on the race? What about $750 million?
How about a cool billion? Could Trump’s 42 percent rise to 52 percent? Or even
higher? [more...]
Hollywood
Celebrities Launch Trump Attack
By
James
Hirsen
When
members of the far-left in Hollywood are using the same script as the editors
of National Review, we know we are
living in very surreal times. “Stop Hate, Dump Trump” is a new slogan that has
been adopted by a group of Hollywood liberals in the hopes of derailing Donald
Trump’s campaign bullet train. In an almost simultaneous effort, National Review has devoted almost every
page of the most recent issue of its magazine to essays that urge voters to
withhold support from the GOP frontrunner - something that most likely would
have appalled conservative icon and magazine founder William F. Buckley Jr. Hollywood’s assault on Trump emanates from
decidedly left-winged individuals, most of whom work in the entertainment
business. [more...]
47
Cents a Gallon
By Michelle Seiler-Tucker
Last
Sunday, a few lucky Americans got to pay 47 cents for a gallon of gas. A few
years ago, when fuel was topping $5 a gallon, this would have seemed impossible. Now, it might just be a sign of things to
come. A few gas stations in northern Michigan found themselves in a brief, but
newsworthy, price war. One location dropped prices to 95 cents, another 77
cents, and two gas stations offered 47 cent gas. Monday, the market corrected
itself, and those few audacious gas stations brought prices back to $1.46 and
$1.47 a gallon. Gasbuddy.com, which tracks gas prices across the country, now
lists the average price per gallon in the U.S. at $1.89. [more...]
The Problem with Bernie
Sanders Voters is They Don’t Actually Vote
By Daniel Greenfield
You
keep hearing about how well Bernie Sanders is doing. But Bernie does best with
people who don't necessarily vote.
Only including voters who previously
caucused in their party's most recent competitive caucus, Cruz is neck-and-neck
with Trump, with 30% for Cruz to 28% for Trump. The Sanders campaign
could very well be headed for a crushing defeat in Iowa. He's dependent on
young, hipster voters, while Hillary Clinton took the minority part of the
Obama coalition. Unfortunately for them, the core Democratic voting bloc is
older and whiter than the Obama coalition. By dividing the coalition, Bernie
Sanders is left with the hippest, but most unreliable part of it. [more...]
GOP
Establishment Piles on Trump
By
Joe
Messina
We
are so busy attacking Trump that we are not paying attention to the issues; we
are not dealing with the issues as a party. Trump wouldn’t be able to make any
headway if we had the right candidates and if people trusted the mainstream
Republicans. Over 60% of Republicans feel betrayed by their party. They believe
the party doesn’t care or listen to them except at election time. Republican
rank and file wanted the Republican elects to vote against funding Planned
Parenthood, illegal immigration benefits, refugee relocation money, a $1.7
billion dollar interest payment to Iran on $200 million owed. In these cases
(and so many more) Speaker Ryan and McConnell ignored the will of “We the
people.” [more...]
ISIS’s
Barbarity and Leftist Feminists’ Callous Heart
By
Joseph
Klein
ISIS’s
brutality knows no bounds. Early medieval style beheadings, crucifixions,
enslavement and rapes of women and young girls are ISIS’s calling cards. They
have slaughtered or abducted thousands of civilians and have committed
systematic genocide against Yazidis and Christians. Yet when reports of such
acts of barbarism began to emerge in 2014, the progressive left either ignored
the worst demonstrations of pure evil in our time or pooh-poohed them. For
example, the far left feminist Naomi
Wolf, pretending to be an objective journalist, has demanded proof of
ISIS transgressions. She questioned whether the videos of beheadings by ISIS
jihadists were real. “So much about ISIS seems hyped/spun,” she said on her
Facebook page in August 2014. In response to accounts of ISIS jihadists’ sexual
exploitation of women, she bizarrely warned us to “remember the fake accounts
of ‘the HUN’ raping Belgian women that drove everyone else into World War One.”
Recall that Naomi Wolf has argued in the past that Muslim women veiling themselves are doing so as an expression of
their own free choice. [more...]
We are Witnessing the End of
the House of Clinton
By
John
LeBoutillier
There
is the stench of political death around Hillary, Bill, Chelsea and the
entire House of Clinton. You could feel it when Republican frontrunner Donald
Trump hit back - hard - over the "penchant for sexism" charge by
basically calling Hillary Clinton an enabler in the former president's sexual
shenanigans. When have we ever seen the Clintons back off? But they did. Then
came further reports about an expanded FBI probe of her handling of secure
information; the nexus of State Department favors for donors to the Clinton
Foundation; and the story that Hillary Clinton or her staff might have lied to
FBI agents in this probe. [more...]

The
Supreme Court will rule on President Barack Obama's decision to defer deportation
for as many as five million undocumented immigrants, agreeing to hear the
administration's appeal on one of the most contentious issues of his
presidency. But what are the common sense solutions to the threats illegal
immigration is having on our national security - the threats posed by America's
unprotected borders?
Illegal
immigration is arguably the hottest topic of this coming election - of grave
concern to many Americans. Donald Trump is not the only one to hit a nerve when
bringing this issue to the forefront of the debates. In Great
News for America, now climbing the charts on Amazon
as a go-to book for information on the election, Dr. Gerard Lameiro emphasizes
that first and foremost, to be a sovereign nation, a country must have borders
and those borders must be clearly delineated and readily enforced.
One
common sense solution that the newly elected president can take is to completely
shut down America's borders for a "cooling off period" of two years.
This means no new immigrants (legal or illegal) will be permitted to enter and
stay in the U.S. This gives the new administration time to seal the border off
from illegal immigration completely - physically with fencing, electronically
using advanced tracking technology, and militarily with appropriate law
enforcement and military support. [more...]

Benghazi Film Set to

By

Poised
to make its impact on the first presidential primaries of 2016 is a compelling
major motion picture about the 2012 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi,
Libya. Michael Bay’s “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” contains
content that is likely to test the nerves of those who are working for
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton while simultaneously pleasing
those who are supporting Hillary’s chief opponent, the currently surging Bernie
Sanders. Despite the fact that the movie never once mentions Hillary by name,
her presence is felt at key points in the drama that unfolds on the screen. [more...]
Majority of Iowa Caucus Dems Call Themselves
Politically Correct Socialists
By Daniel Greenfield
Meet
the new Democratic Party. It's like the Communist Party, but it hasn't picked out its own snappy
uniforms yet. If Bernie Sanders wins Iowa, it will be in no small part because
Iowa Democrats describe themselves as
Socialists more than supporters of free enterprise and human freedom. As
Reagan said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from
extinction." We're seeing a
reminder of that here and now. [more...]
SOTU Fiction
By
Joe
Messina
“Anyone
claiming America’s economy is in decline is pedaling fiction. What is true and
the reason Americans are so apprehensive is that the economy is changing in
profound ways...” stated the President during the State of the Union. Profound
is an UNDERSTATEMENT. The secret word is
“profound.” It should scare you to death - like “fundamentally change,” “hope
and change,” and “forward.” First of all, 2015 ended its worst ride since 2008.
The DOW and S&P finished down and even though the NASDAQ finished up 5.7,
it had finished in double digits the prior 3 years. Jump ahead to the first few
weeks of 2016. Strap yourself in; it’s going to be a rough ride. The markets
opened the year with the worst start since The Great Depression. [more...]

Friday,
January 9th, Rolling Stone Magazine released an interview between actor Sean
Penn and drug lord Joaquin Guzman, better known as El Chapo. Penn interviewed
the infamous cartel boss in October of 2015. Rolling Stone waited until El
Chapo’s capture to publish Penn’s story and interview. Penn’s celebrity comes
just as much from his social activism as it does his films – but interviewing
El Chapo seems to fall into neither category. It seems Penn’s article reads
part Hollywood action movie, part morning TV fluff-piece. I
understand good journalism requires a look at all sides of an issue, but some
issues simply don’t have those other sides. Penn asked questions that allowed El
Chapo to give empty answers, akin to what a politician might give, or a guest
on Good Morning America. The actor fails to ask any real follow-up questions
letting El Chapo blame the proliferation of drugs on its consumers, not the
suppliers. Penn also lets Guzman say his organization is not a cartel, and,
when asked if he uses violence, Guzman says “all I do is defend myself, nothing
more. But do I start trouble? Never.” Penn seems fine with this answer. [more...]

Wayne
Allyn Root will deliver the Tea Party response to the State of the
Union this week, eschewing the Tea Party Express's tradition of inviting a
well-known politician in favor of a political outsider. "2016 has become
the year of the outsider as the public continues to show strong support in the
presidential contest for candidates that eschew connections with the Washington
establish. So it is appropriate for the Tea Party Express to select a
Washington 'outsider' who has had a remarkable career," the group's
co-founder, Sal Russo, said in a statement. "[Root] is a perfect
representative of the Tea Party and is always an articulate spokesperson for a
positive agenda for our country’s future." [more...]
Mourning
in America
By
Lowell Ponte
Obama's
seven years have produced mourning in America and a widespread pessimistic
feeling of loss, despair and grief. Millions now feel that something essential
to our success and well-being has died here – that we are sad witnesses to the
death of the American Dream. A new poll published January 5 by Esquire Magazine and NBC News finds that
52 percent of Americans now believe that the American Dream was “once true but not
anymore.” Another 11 percent now believe that it “never held true.” [more...]
Ricky
Gervais Makes Golden Globes a Politically Incorrect Event
By
James
Hirsen
The
most interesting thing about the 2016 Golden Globe Awards was not the highly
predictable winners but rather the highly predictable barbs thrown Hollywood’s
way by contentious host Rick Gervais. After referring to the audience as
“disgusting, pill-popping, sexual deviant scum,” Gervais announced the
following: “I’m going to do this monologue and then go into hiding. Not even
Sean Penn will find me... snitch.” The brash Brit launched an early attack at
the television network that aired the program. [more...]
No
Need to Fear the Refugees?
By
Joe
Messina
Over
Christmas and New Year’s, Germany had a rash of rapes and assaults. The numbers
were shocking as they have never seen this kind of crime spree against women.
Over 100 “filed complaints” of rape and assault over the new year and police
believe there are over 1,000 male refugees involved. Rapes were conducted by
“rape gangs” and women were beaten and raped in public. The mayor of the German
city, Cologne, where many of the assaults took place suggested it was the fault
of the women! Let that settle in. [more...]
Public
Unions on the Precipice
By
Dave
Bego
Unions representing employees in the public sector have
been dominant in politics since 1977 when the U.S. Supreme Court decided the
case of Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, and, in so doing, eliminating
public employees’ rights to decide if they wanted to be part of a union or
finance its policies and politics. The 1977 decision bolstered public sector
unionism. In making its decision, the court affirmed the constitutionality of a
Michigan law requiring public school teachers who are not dues-paying union
members to pay “agency” or “fair-share” fees. The practical effect has been the
allowance of forced unionism of public employees by the union bosses, resulting
in 35.7% of public employees to be unionized vs. just 6.6% of private sector
employees today. The lack of free choice has done unmeasurable damage to the
First Amendment rights of millions of government employees since the decision
39 years ago.

North
Korea and Iran - The Nuclear Duo
By
Joseph
Klein
North
Korea conducted its fourth nuclear test on January 6th, which it claimed was a
hydrogen bomb. Despite some skepticism as to North Korea’s claim that it had
actually tested a hydrogen bomb, the Obama administration acknowledged that
North Korea had indeed tested some sort of nuclear device. The administration
condemned North Korea’s latest testing as a violation of a series of past
United Nations Security Council resolutions. "We do not and will not
accept North Korea as a nuclear armed state, and actions such as this latest
test only strengthen our resolve," declared Secretary of State John Kerry.
Mr. Kerry is a bit late with his declaration. North Korea has had an active nuclear
arms program for nearly a decade and has conducted three of its four nuclear
tests during President Obama’s time in office. [more...]

Those
who opt for the streaming of their entertainment, sports, and news fare are
about to be treated to an even bigger selection of choices in 2016. The
unpopular bundling model commonly used by the cable and satellite television
industries is going by the wayside. What has happened up until recently is that
bundling has created a situation in which far too many television viewers have
been forced to subscribe to a huge number of aggregated channels that they do
not need or desire to receive. Additionally, programming that may not have
otherwise survived has been subsidized by unwitting cable and satellite TV
customers. [more...]
Chicago’s Strict Gun Control Laws Didn’t Prevent Most Mass
Shootings
By Joe
Messina
Chicago has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation
and one of highest number of homicides and shootings. Rahm Emanuel, Barack
Obama’s former White House Chief of Staff, has been mayor of Chicago since 2011.
Emanuel shares many of Obama’s liberal anti-American agendas including the
desire to ban guns and disarm the citizenry. Like his mentor, Emanuel has done
everything possible to enact strict gun control laws in Chicago and like his
mentor, he claims that guns are the cause of gun violence and passing tough gun
control laws will lower gun violence and deaths in his city. However, his
strict gun control laws have done little to curb gun violence and deaths. [more...]
What
Makes the 2016 Presidential Election Historic?
By
Dr.
Gerard Lameiro
First
and foremost, American voters are angry, frustrated and upset with the
political parties and “establishment” politicians because they have largely
ignored voters and their demands to solve many issues facing America.
Americans are tired of sending people back to Washington to solve our top
problems and not having the problems fixed. Take Obamacare as one example: Americans
wanted it repealed in 2010 when it gave control of the House to another party
with 63 House seats changing hands. Americans wanted Obamacare repealed
again in 2014 when it gave control of the Senate to Republicans. In both
cases, Obamacare was not repealed. Other problems not adequately addressed
included the staggering national debt, now exceeding $18.8 trillion... not to
mention, the illegal immigration problem. [Go here for a complete analysis...]
2016
Economic Projections
By Michelle Seiler-Tucker
First
things first: Puerto Rico is turning into America’s Greece. The island
territory is laden with debt it can’t pay, and what’s worse, Americans are the
ones holding the receipts. About 50% of Americans over the age of 40 hold
Puerto Rican debt in some way in California, New York, and Florida; nearly 100%
of the over-40 population is exposed in some way. Puerto Rico’s debt comes from
a laundry list of issues: over 60% of its population is on Medicare or
Medicaid, importing energy is wildly expense, and, not unlike Greece, its
government can be rather stubborn. The way I see it, no one knows what Puerto
Rico will do, but the options are: 1) default (this is bad for everybody; 2)
The U.S. grants Puerto Rico the ability to declare Chapter 9 bankruptcy; or 3)
The U.S. gives Puerto Rico a $70+ billion bailout package. None of this will go
well for anyone, and frankly there is no way to tell what will happen; but we
will see a decision in 2016, and it could put a dent in the U.S. economy. [more...]

Pro-Israel Charities are Terrorists
By Daniel Greenfield
Forget
academic boycotts and protesting Israeli oranges in the produce aisle. The new
BDS targets are Jewish charities with a special focus on those that provide
services and support in ’67 Israel. Under its new Muslim boss, Amna Farooqi, J
Street U has been pressuring Jewish charities not to help Jews living in
territory which had been conquered and ethnically cleansed of Jews by the
invading Muslim armies during Israel’s War of Independence. Other groups,
including T’ruah, which had a prominent role at Obama’s toxic Chanukah party, have also made
Jewish charities into their target. [more...]
