Proof: “CNN is not a news outlet, it’s a super PAC running unregulated campaign ads 24 hours a day”

March 28, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Tucker Carlson has a great piece you can find here in which he proves that CNN as nothing more than an unregulated super PAC for the Democrat party. His proof? Collusion died over the weekend. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi immediately pivoted to health care. And so did CNN.

Justice Denied

Have you been following the machinations of the Justice System in Chicago? Tuesday the charges were dropped against Jussie Smollett. Prosecutors say to not take that to mean he’s innocent.

March 28, 2019 Steve MacDonald

JCN calls BS on AOC

March 28, 2019March 28, 2019 Jim Kofalt

“If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes truth.” While it’s unclear who originally said this (it is sometimes attributed to Lenin, sometimes to Goebbels); the unfortunate fact is that we’re seeing it in action on a daily basis. The left has become extraordinarily comfortable with outright fabrication, even after it has been proven … Read more

Supreme Court Considers Paring Back the Power of the Administrative State

March 28, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The current state of affairs often requires judges to side with the rulemaking power of the administrative state even when “they feel it has made the wrong call on a regulation.” But a case currently before them could change that.

MSNBC and CNN’s Ratings Flushed Down the Toilet With Fake Collusion Narrative

March 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

When your only trick for two years is Hating Trump, and suddenly the collusion sleight of hand trick doesn’t fool anyone anymore what do you do?

March 27, 2019March 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I’ll link the audio when I get more time, but this was too juicy to leave alone. Did you know that in 2008 a nearly identical Russian Collusion narrative arose during John McCain’s presidential campaign? Individuals associated with the campaign were believed to have a connection to Russia. What happened?

Democracy or constitutional republic?

March 27, 2019 Ian Underwood

The electoral college is in the news again. Some presidential candidates are calling for the Constitution to be amended to get rid of it. A growing number of states are taking steps to require the distribution of their electoral votes be determined by the national popular vote, which would amount to the same thing.

I just mention it because conversations about this topic frequently lead to someone proclaiming that we have a constitutional republic, and not a democracy, as if that’s a meaningful distinction.

My Gender Bender Bathroom Reboot of the Beatles ‘Let it Be’

March 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I confess that I am struck (at times) by the strangest sorts of inspiration. Take this little tangent for example. The song Let it Be is playing in the background. I’m listening to the words for the umpteen-millionth time and without invitation, the Left’s gender confusion bathroom obsession leaps to the front of my consciousness.

HB564 – Firearm restrictions in “safe” school zones. A bleg – who IS this guy?

March 27, 2019March 27, 2019 Skip

UPDATE: Several people have now told me that he is a Democrat “tracker” with American Bridge – a “gotcha operation” that was started by David Brock and it is only focused on Republicans and Conservatives. I guess my three years “off the circuit” ended up with a replacement for the guy we outed years ago. … Read more

Trump-Hating Porn-Star Lawyer Michael Avenatti Accused of Extortion, Embezzlement

March 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

This wouldn’t typically rise to the level of a story we’d cover. But Michael Avenatti (a Democrat) has been a product of much content creation on these pages. Some of it related to politics and the President.

Mueller Plus Nadler Equals Zero

March 27, 2019

BS by any other name smells just the same The charge that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election was a lie.
