The Clinton campaign’s “October surprise” appears to be the coordinated release of a decade old audio tape of GOP nominee Donald Trump’s boorish locker room yapping about women. Since its release the left and the media — but I repeat myself — have been suitably outrageously outraged. But it all brings one to ask, how can the left be so morally outraged, how can they be more upset at Trump’s trash talk than they can about 40 years of Bill Clinton’s rape cases and Hilary’s anti-woman actions in response to them?
Right off the bat, though, I need to note that I find such locker room talk distasteful. I personally never engage in it. You could ask just about anyone who knows me to pinpoint a time when I trash talked a woman and they won’t be able to think of one I can assure you. I know many people feel the same way about this sort of behavior.
However, I know an awful lot of men who I otherwise respect and trust who DO talk like this among other men. It’s braggadocios and ill-mannered, but it is extremely common among those with testosterone flowing through their bodies. No man who has ever left his house and walked into a bar, a gym, a locker room, a conference room or anywhere other men are gathered has not heard talk like this. Would that such talk could be eschewed, but the fact that some engage in it doesn’t automatically make them evil human beings.
So, do I wish Trump hadn’t said these sort of things? Sure. Does the revelation that he has said such things mean he should be thrown overboard? If it did we’d likely have to throw half the men we all know overboard for the same reason.
And don’t give me that “but Trump is supposed to be a leader” line, either. If we are to be outraged that Trump said it, we need to be just as outraged when our plumber, co-worker, or golf buddy says such stuff. A standard isn’t a standard if only some people are held to it.
This whole controversy began on Friday afternoon. The 2005 tape recording of Trump bragging about trying to have sex with a woman (and failing to swing the deal) was published by the Washington Post on October 8. Naturally, almost immediately the outrage machine sped up to its highest RPMs.

How is Trump’s Trash Talk Worse Than Bill Clinton Actually Committing Rape?”
The Wikileaks release of over 2,000 emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta reveals some of the vicious things Team Clinton was saying about Democrat candidate Bernie Sanders as well as the bulk of the American people. In one communiqué, for instance, Americans were called “illiterates” and Bernie Sanders was accused of employing Nazi tactics to beat Hillary in the primaries.
Aside from the obvious fact that the national media is working overtime to get Hillary Clinton elected–including some in the so-called conservative media–evidence is growing that Hillary and her party are well on the road toward cheating their way to putting Hillary in the White House.
The one impression America came away with as the first and only vice presidential debate ended on Tuesday night, October 4, was that Democrat candidate Tim Kaine was more like a yip-yapping Chihuahua instead of the Pitbull that a second chair running mate should be. But he also figured as the perfect running mate for the biggest liar and crook ever to run for the White House because he threw one lie after another at his opponent.
During the season premiere of the CBS series “NCIS: Los Angeles,” as the team conducted a stake out one of the agents found a battered and barely concealed Donald Trump Piñata in a garbage can then jokes “oh, he deserved it.”
As they desperately seek to enlarge their voting base, one group that Democrats are diligently working to cultivate are convicted felons–both those who have been released after serving their sentence and even those still sitting in jail.
Many #NeverTrumpers are claiming they won’t vote for Donald Trump because he supposedly said he didn’t want the vote of conservatives. But what #NeverTrumpers are really doing is acting like liberals by putting their feeeeelings above the best interests of the country. In this equation, it is the #NeverTrumpers who are the problem, not Trump.
It’s obvious that most articles about guns in the media are biased against our Second Amendment rights, certainly. Many are at least biased in that their facts and terminology are so badly garbled that incorrect analysis results. But a recent piece in a British newspaper is the most blatantly biased I’ve seen in some time.
It has been 13 years since that horrible day in 2001 when terrorism hit America with a vengeance. But many want to forget and pretend it never happened and we already have a generation of kinds just about to, or soon to enter into their teen years who can’t remember what happened on September 11, 2001. It is up to us to keep the memory of that day alive lest we allow it to be repeated.
This year at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), I was fortunate enough to get some time to interview one of the most redoubtable conservative activists in the nation, 
The news media has been all a twitter over the small group of ne’er-do-wells, government leeches, and has-beens who claim to have been Republicans in the past but who are now nonetheless supporting Hillary Clinton for President. But those who pretend at being Republican and support Hillary need to be ostracized and cast out of the center right coalition, not because they are traitors merely to the Republican Party but because they are traitors to the entire country.
This week redoubtable conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg noted that the conservative movement must “John Birch” the Alt-Right, meaning we need to destroy them and kick them out of the center right tent. But Jonah is being ridiculous. In reality we need to go back to ignoring this group of loudmouthed misfits because they are insignificant.
THIS is what the left has wrought, folks. We have as the left would define it “a protester” — but who should really be termed “a criminal rioter” — telling the media exactly why he and his pals are setting Milwaukee on fire… it’s because, you see, “the rich people, they got all this money and they not like, you know, tryin’ to give us none.”
Listen, I get it: Trump is not a conservative It is just that simple. But continuing to oppose him even after he has fairly won the GOP nomination is self-defeating for conservatives–no matter if Trump wins OR loses. Here’s why.
One of the many reasons anti-Trumpers say Donald Trump is unsuitable to be our president is that he is an authoritarian and might make for a sort of dictator in the oval office. But whatever Trump’s tendencies, it seems pretty clear that this fear is an absurd one.
Federal prosecutors filed “hate crime” charges against an Ohio man for beating a black man citing the suspect’s Confederate flag tattoo as evidence of his racial animus towards blacks, a report says.
If the election were held today, Donald Trump would beat Hillary Clinton by upwards to 10 points according to polling guru Nate Silver.
If you are a true, constitutionally minded American, you really are left without a party or even a faction. It really is that simple. 
Only a day before three police officers were shot and killed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, reports circulated that the militant New Black Panther Party started up a new chapter in the city.
The duly elected leader of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, seems to have survived a coup attempt spearheaded by members of his country’s own military that may have been alarmed by the Islamist direction their president is taking the country. But whatever caused it, the subsequent attacks on innocents at the hands of Turkish Muslims is a perfect example of why Islam is dangerous.
As the nation shakes its collective head with the full understanding that the law does not apply to Bill and Hillary Clinton and that their corruption knows no bounds, another story slipped under the radar that proves that from the highest federal office to the lowest, local state official no Democrat cares a whit about law and all have simply decided to do anything and everything they want regardless of what the law says.
