Walsh’s Challenge to Trump Shows GOP ‘Never-Trumpers’ Like to Lose

By Karen Kataline

At first, I couldn’t muster much interest in the relatively irrelevant news that Joe Walsh plans to mount a primary challenge to President Trump in 2020. Au contraire. It serves as a great example of what seems to motivate the anti-Trump Republicans in our midst. Walsh, a one-term Congressman from Illinois (2011-2013) made his announcement on “This Week” with George “Step-on-all-of-us,” using old, tired Democrat talking points to explain why he despises Trump. He added his own blend of hubris in speaking for the entire Republican party despite reality and facts: [more...]

'Overcomer' Lights Up the Box Office

By James Hirsen

Executives at Sony Pictures and its faith-based unit Affirm are no doubt elated over the box-office performance of the big-screen release “Overcomer.” Alex and Stephen Kendrick’s most recent film opened in 1,700 theaters this past weekend and brought in a higher than expected $8.2 million, the third largest opening for a movie from the faith-based filmmaker brothers. The film secured a third place slot in the weekend box-office line-up, just behind the major studio releases “Angel Has Fallen” and “Good Boys.” [more...]

Enemies of the Electoral College

By Lowell Ponte

Our Constitution's framers created the Electoral College to prevent demagogues and political power junkies from seizing the presidency. Demagogues and power junkies have ever since been trying to abolish or circumvent the Electoral College, most recently through the so-called National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Thus far, 15 states plus the District of Columbia have agreed to cast their Electoral votes for the winner of the national popular vote, even if some of these states' voters prefer the other major candidate. These 15 states + D.C. control 196 Electoral votes - nearly 3/4ths of the 270 Electoral votes needed to elect a President. Sixteen of the Democratic presidential candidates favor ending the Electoral College, thereby giving more political power to the largest cities in large Democratic states. Is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact a way to steal the "national popular vote" via one or two big states such as California - and thereby to steal the presidency? [more...]

'Trans Kids,' Gay Kids and Child Drag Queens?

By Karen Kataline

The Left is openly targeting children with sexual messages, forcing “LGBTQ” sex practices on grade-schoolers without their parents’ consent and mass marketing “trans-kids,” gay kids and child drag queens. Gender is fluid, don’t you know, but being gay is not. But why?  Why would they actively push a gay agenda on children who aren’t yet old enough to know about "the birds and the bees?" Thrusting children into premature sexuality and confusing them with adult sexual messages, be they gender-bending or not, used to be an undisputed social taboo. We still prosecute child sex traffickers and child pornographers, and we don’t allow children into R-rated movies, but child drag queens and forced sex education is "forward-thinking?" [more...]

Getting PBS Hate Out of the Classroom
By Daniel Greenfield

Every time that there is any talk of cutting the PBS budget, the massive organization rolls out Sesame Street as its puppet shield. Cutting the PBS budget is tantamount to killing Grover, Elmo, and Big Bird. Except it isn’t Republicans who have been killing Big Bird. The greed of PBS executives was doing that. While PBS has plenty of money to throw at its top executives and its lefty causes, its licensing payments only covered 10% of Sesame Street’s production costs. That’s why the Sesame Workshop took first episodes of its series to HBO. Meanwhile the PBS leadership got another in a series of huge raises. [more...]

The Trump Trade War

By John LeBoutillier

On the latest edition of REVOLUTION_The Podcast... we discuss the state of the Trump Presidency, the Trump trade war, and the campaign to defeat Trump in 2020. Why is Trump behaving even more erratically than usual? Why are White House insiders leaking to the media tales of Trump's deteriorating behavior? What's going on inside the White House and the Trump campaign? [more...]

Why We Need Baldwin-Hawley Currency Reform Now

By Jeff Ferry

In his recent article, "How Not to Restore American Industry," David P. Goldman criticizes the Baldwin-Hawley bill, also known as the Competitive Dollar for Jobs and Prosperity Act, which was introduced into the Senate earlier this month.  The bill would provide the Federal Reserve Bank with a third mandate, achieving and maintaining a current account balance (trade balance) through exchange rate management. Goldman’s article is thoughtful and entertaining, yet he misses several crucial points about how the modern global economy operates, and this leads him to overlook the importance of currency. It is also notable that Goldman is a columnist for Asia Times, a newspaper based in Hong Kong which has managed its exchange rate for decades. [more...]

Did Trump Just Defend or Offend Jewish People?

By Karen Kataline

The latest faux outrage in a news cycle which is getting tougher and tougher to keep up with, concerns President Trump’s re-tweet of a comment reportedly by Wayne Allyn Root, proclaiming Trump as “King of the Jews” and (I still can’t find this one) “the Second Coming of God.” The secular media propagandists love to spin things like this particularly when they think it will offend Christians who are their primary target.  Sadly, American Jews who support Trump are a minority within an already tiny minority. I believe that it is virtually impossible to deny that President Trump has been a spectacular President for Israel and the Jewish People and frankly, for all groups that the Left has come to think of as their own personal mascots. Those who still deny this are certainly more focused on that river in Egypt. [more...]

Question to Cummings - Where Did the Billions in Missing Federal Money Go?

By Matthew Vadum

President Trump went after purported congressional watchdog Elijah Cummings recently, slamming the Democrat congressman for failing to improve his troubled Baltimore, Maryland, district despite the inflow of billions of dollars in federal aid during and in the years leading up to Trump’s administration. “Baltimore’s numbers are the worst in the United States on crime and the economy. Billions of dollars have been pumped in over the years, but to no avail,” the president wrote on Twitter July 29. “The money was stolen or wasted. Ask Elijah Cummings where it went. He should investigate himself with his Oversight Committee! Baltimore, under the leadership of Elijah Cummings, has the worst crime statistics in the nation. 25 years of all talk, no action! So tired of listening to the same old bull... Next, Reverend Al will show up to complain and protest. Nothing will get done for the people in need. Sad!” [more...]

A President Harris Would Mean Good-bye to Private Insurance

By Sally Pipes, President & CEO of the Pacific Research Institute

Since announcing her candidacy for the Democratic nomination for president, Senator Kamala Harris hasn't been able to make up her mind about whether she wants to eliminate private health insurance. At a CNN town hall in January, she voiced support for nixing private insurance, stating, "Let's eliminate all of that. Let's move on." Then, in May, she said she was misunderstood and pushed for supplemental private coverage. A few weeks later, during the first set of Democratic presidential debates, Harris raised her hand when the moderators asked who on the stage would eliminate private insurance. Hours later, she said she misheard the question, and reversed course. Now, she claims to have a plan that will supposedly provide health coverage for everyone while "preserving a role" for private insurers. Don't believe it. Harris is bent on killing off private insurance and pushing all Americans into a one-size-fits-all, government-run health plan - at an annual cost of trillions of taxpayer dollars. [more...]

Trump and the Greenland New Deal

By Lowell Ponte

President Trump said he canceled his trip to Denmark after a “nasty” comment by the country’s prime minister about the U.S. president’s interest in buying Greenland, which is the world's largest island, 80 percent of which is covered with ice. Does he know that in year 986 the Viking Erik the Red began selling Greenland to settlers by claiming it was green and offered them rich farmland? Just as with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, the label "green" has been used to fool people. The Little Ice Age in the North Atlantic destroyed Viking settlements in Greenland. We appear to be at a similar point in a climate cycle, with another brief once-in-a-thousand-years period of warming that began in 1850 now about to end. The island is rich in mineral wealth, but if its ice melted, this could raise global sea levels by 23 feet and submerge Miami. [more...]

Ilhan Omar Accuses Those She Hates of Being 'Phobic'

By Karen Kataline

In response to the media storm involving her on-again, off-again trip to Israel with fellow freshman Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, Rep. Ilhan Omar said that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has "aligned himself with Islamophobes like Donald Trump." This statement would have been entertaining if it hadn’t been so deadly, dangerous and sad. With this comment and others, Omar has implied that if only - Benjamin Netanyahu in this case - didn’t suffer from "Islamophobia" there would be peace in the Middle East. [more...]

Trump and the Greenland New Deal

By Lowell Ponte

President Trump is talking about the possibility of buying Greenland, the world's largest island, 80 percent of which is covered with ice. Does he know that in year 986 the Viking Erik the Red began selling Greenland to settlers by claiming it was green and offered them rich farmland? Just as with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, the label "green" has been used to fool people. The Little Ice Age in the North Atlantic destroyed Viking settlements in Greenland.

Katy Perry's #HeToo Problem

By James Hirsen

Just as our country continues to grapple with the serious issues that have been brought to light as a result of efforts on the part of individuals, groups, and movements such as #MeToo and #Time’sUp, along comes an unexpected twist to the societal plotline. Alleged incidents involving sexual misconduct by one very famous celebrity have Hollywood once again in a social conscious quandary. Mega star Katy Perry is currently suffering through an unfortunate “life imitates art” moment related to her hit song “I Kissed a Girl.” [more...]

What American Jews Don't Understand About BDS

By Daniel Greenfield

There’s no place on earth that boycotters of Israel like visiting more than... Israel. Omar Barghouti, the Qatari founder of the BDS movement, has been living in Israel for 25 years. And the activist who helped introduce the boycott of Israel to the world has spent many of those years arguing that he should be allowed to live in Israel, attend Israeli schools, and shop for Israeli products. Earlier this year, the United States refused to allow Barghouti to enter this country, either due to his support for terrorism or the tax evasion case. The boycotter had finally become the boycotted. And boycotting BDS is the best way to beat it. [more...]

'Medicare-for-All' Would be Hazardous to the Health of Seniors

By Sally Pipes, President & CEO of the Pacific Research Institute

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., had a run-in with the Greatest Generation on Aug. 12. Roberta Jewell, a resident at the Bickford Senior Living Center in Muscatine, Iowa, told the Democratic presidential hopeful to "leave our health care alone." Like many Americans, Jewell is reluctant to embrace the "Medicare-for-all" plans Harris and several of her Democratic colleagues have proposed. The Iowan is right to be wary. Medicare-for-all would destroy Medicare as we know it -- and make it harder for seniors to access care. [more...]

David Horowitz: Left Seeks to 'Exterminate'

While claiming "America is a society that has moved beyond racism," author David Horowitz on Newsmax TV said it is also one where liberals fantasize about "exterminating" people who do not agree with them. "This is a fantasy that liberals have of killing their opposition," Horowitz told "Newsmax Now," rejecting Universal Picture's upcoming movie release "The Hunt," which features a plot of slaughtering "deplorables" – Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign term for supporters of President Donald Trump. [more...]

We Must Protect our God-Given Right to Self-Defense

By Karen Kataline

Only people who intend you harm are threatened by your right to defend yourself. The state of Texas knows that and that’s why they are not strengthening gun laws but loosening them. This is heretical to the average Democrat who is not moved by the “good guy with a gun” argument because he sees no difference between a good guy and a bad guy.  The Left also demonstrates almost daily, their belief that anyone who disagrees with them is already bad - especially since the 2016 Presidential election. Texans know that more guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens is a deterrent to such atrocities as El Paso and Dayton. That’s why “Red Flag” laws are such a disaster. These laws desensitize the average citizen to gun confiscation without due process. They violate other constitutional rights like the right to privacy, the right against uncompensated takings of property, the right to a jury trial and to confront one’s accusers. [more...]

How Trump Started a Civil War Between Hamas and a UN Agency

By Daniel Greenfield

Even within the United Nations, a sprawling multinational bureaucracy linked by luxury dining, corruption and complicity in terrorism, the UNRWA stands out for waste, corruption and terror. The UNRWA’s abbreviation leaves out its full title, United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, and its heavy focus on Gaza. The UNRWA classifies 1.4 million or 73% of the people living in Gaza as “refugees” even though it’s an independent territory run by Hamas. There are really two UNRWA agencies.  [more...]

Foreign Drugs Import Danger

By Sally Pipes, President & CEO of the Pacific Research Institute

The Trump administration announced it is taking steps to introduce a "safe importation action" pilot program authorizing states, wholesalers, and pharmacists to import drugs from Canada under one scenario and from other countries under another scenario. There is no specific timeline for implementation of a plan yet. According to the Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar, the goal of the initiative is to "lower prices and reduce out of pocket costs for American patients." It won't work. Instead, importing prescription drugs would put our lives in danger. [more...]

The Suspicious Death of Jeffrey Epstein

By Karen Kataline

Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire convicted pedophile with a Rolodex of rich and famous men, was found dead on Saturday morning. He was alleged to have hung himself in his jail cell.  Few people believe this was a suicide. Why? The legacy media has been exposed again and again for pushing false narratives to further their obvious leftist political agenda, and covering for people with whom they agree or want to help get elected. Just as names like “Steele dossier” and “Fusion GPS” were unfamiliar not only to Robert Mueller himself but to anyone who gets their news solely from ABC, NBC, CNN, the New York Times et al., what has become “common knowledge” about the Clintons has hardly come from the “legacy media.”  That’s just one reason for such a cynical public.

What the Heck is CBD and Can it Solve the Financial Pain of Our Farmers?

By John Frazier, America's Entrepreneur Advocate

By legalizing hemp, the 2018 Farm Bill sets the stage for a national and international trade in CBD that is expected to dwarf the market for THC products. CBD is the straitlaced cousin of marijuana’s more famous component - the THC that makes you high. CBD (Cocannabidiol), has no such intoxicating effects and is derived directly from the hemp plant, which is a cousin of the marijuana plant. Hemp and hemp derived products are legal under the Farm Bill, as long as their THC content is less than 0.3%. Even with all the hype of CBD, it cannot be overstated how beneficial this plant could be for U.S. farmers in the coming years. [more...]

2020 Dems Might Ruin Your Excellent Health Benefits

By Sally Pipes, President & CEO of the Pacific Research Institute

This month, 19 Democratic presidential candidates gathered in Las Vegas to court the union vote at a forum hosted by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the country's largest public-sector union. Some candidates took this opportunity to plug their plans for a government takeover of the nation's health care system, which AFSCME supports. But labor unions should be careful what they wish for. Union workers currently have some of the best health benefits around. "Medicare-for-All" would take those benefits away - and leave union members with long waits for poor-quality care. [more...]

Dayton Shooter Not Unlike Young Radical Democrats

By Lowell Ponte

Headline-seeking Democrat politicians and their comrades in the liberal-left media have unanimously and incessantly blamed President Trump for recent shooter killings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. The president, they claim, triggered both atrocities by being a “racist, a “white supremacist.” Political and media demagogues, however, give few details about the Dayton shooter, Connor Betts, who appears to have been a far-left radical, some days calling himself a Socialist and others a Communist. Betts supported the urban terrorist group Antifa and, like the son of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 running mate Senator Tim Kaine (D-Virginia), reportedly took part in Antifa-like leftist KKK-ish violence. He was also a Satanist and “displayed every trope” of today’s young radical Democrats. [more...]

Hollywood Stars of Tomorrow May Be Replaced by Actors of the Digital Kind

By James Hirsen

The advent of robots that are able to sub-in for many of the job positions that human beings currently hold has altered an economic calculus within our society and an important stability measure as well. Those who enjoy the status of being gainfully employed and those who dream of limitless future career possibilities are being forced to make some serious adjustments to their individual life plans. A future in which robot employees replace the human kind has thus far been seen in the food service, manufacturing, and financial industries. Interestingly, though, just like the rest of us, Hollywood presently finds itself in a stare-down with the Brave New World of tomorrow. [more...]
