Megyn Kelly, Donald Trump and the Tweet of Frustration

August 8, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

On Friday afternoon at 4:43 PM I Tweeted what to me was just a *funny* Tweet about Megyn Kelly, Donald Trump and the first 2016 GOP debates. But nearly 24 hours later it is still getting tweets, re-tweets, messages, shares, and favorites and it doesn’t seem to be slowing at all. Despite that I thought it was just a throw away Tweet, it has revealed a deep cynicism about the media (including Fox News) and a frustration with the Republican Party that has proven to be a major problem that I think will doom any Republican candidate in 2016.

So, on Friday evening I threw out this Tweet about Megyn Kelly’s slap at Donald Trump in the debates on Thursday…

Now, let me get my own intentions explained. To me, I just thought this was an amusing statement of irony. I often post funny quips or photo memes just to get a rise out of people and to see what sort of impact I can make. To me this was just a funny juxtaposition. While Megyn was attacking Trump for being sexist, here she was objectifying herself in these photos. It was just a quick comment on Kelly wanting to have it both ways.

I have nothing against Kelly. She seems to do well enough on her show and her ratings are very good (note I don’t much watch TV news so I have never seen a full episode of her show). It does appear from the clips I’ve seen that she is a tough interviewer. I don’t want her fired and I see no reason to have her kicked off future GOP debate programs–as many do (see this petition demanding Kelly be fired from future debates).

To Recycle or Not to Recycle, Mixed Messages in California

August 5, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

As California looks to initiate a “no waste” policy, a look at the statistics of landfills in and around the San Bernadino area shows that many have either seriously slowed their garbage intake for burial or only increased it slightly. That is, all except the landfills operated by Athens Services, all of which seem to have exceedingly high growth in landfill use. Now some residents are worrying that, unlike the other waste disposal companies, the Athens landfills are burying items that could otherwise be recycled in accordance with state and local laws.

At the same time this is happening, some California counties are aiming at what they call a ”no waste” policy, meaning that practically all garbage will be recycled somehow or another. Despite this far-fetched concept and the unlikely hood of reaching such a goal, most of the state is still slowly edging toward less and less use of landfills.

Certainly, most residents don’t think about garbage after it’s tossed. But, with large tax dollars being spent on waste disposal, residents across the country should look at their service providers.

Here’s why: Athens Services, a West Covina garbage service, seems to be going in the opposite direction of all the others in the area by increasing landfill use and residents want to know why this is happening.

Obama Admin Decides Not to Force FBI to Get Warrants for Email Data

August 3, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Despite the pressure brought to bear by the public and efforts by Congress, the Obama White House has announced that it will not demand that the FBI get warrants to access email data.

The current law for electronic communications is an ill-fitting scheme that forces law enforcement to get a warrant for emails and other electronic communications that are up to six months old. But for any data older than that the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) only requires a subpoena. But these rules don’t take into account the fact that data can be stored on line for far longer than six months.

The original rules written back in 1986 assumed that such data would be harder and/or expensive to store and might be erased sooner than data is today.

Many Americans want these old, outdated rules changed so it is a bit harder for law enforcement to access American’s electronic communications. Pursuant to that a petition demanding that law enforcement, particularly the FBI, get a warrant for any email data it wants had been turned in to the administration as far back as 2013. Last week the Obama administration finally responded to this petition saying that it won’t require the FBI to change its process for accessing electronic data.

Yes That Black Panther Party Historical Marker in North Carolina MUST Come Down

August 1, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Did you know that there is a historical marker in Winston-Salem, North Carolina celebrating the founding of a chapter of domestic terrorists and hate group the Black Panther Party? Now there is a petition demanding that the city remove the marker celebrating the hate group.

The marker, situated at the corner of Fifth Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard in Winston-Salem, N.C., was erected in 2012 and celebrates the fact that the state’s fist chapter of the racist group formed on that spot in 1969.


This photo by Bruce Chapman depicts the 2012 unveiling of the historic marker.

The marker hasn’t caused much fuss, really, but after racist black groups have spent the last few months defacing decades old Confederate monuments all across the country and have been demanding that all Confederate history be erased from existence, now there is a move to do the same to this marker celebrating the founding of the city’s racist Black Panther Party chapter.

Obama’s Homeland Security Chief Says Terrorism is NOT Caused by Islam

July 30, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

This is why we are failing to stop Muslim terrorists. If we can’t identify who the enemy is, how can we fight him? The question is pertinent since this week Obama’s Secretary of Homeland Security insisted that Islam is not the cause of any terrorism in the world today. How can he say that? Because he claims that terrorists aren’t really Muslims. Oh, you heard that right, America.

DHS secretary Jeh Johnson was recently at a security forum where he flat out refused to identify terrorists as Muslims. Then he went even further to claim that anyone who says that terrorists are Muslims are insulting Islam.

Sec Johnson was asked why he and Obama steadfastly refuse to call the terrorists “radical Muslims” or identify terrorists as Islamists.

“I believe strongly – and I hear this over and over again from Muslim leaders in this country – that to refer to ISIL as ‘Islamic extremism’ concedes too much. It dignifies them as occupying some part of the Islamic faith, which is about peace. And so if you call it ‘Islamic anything,’ uh, we are dignifying this terrorist organization with occupying a part of the Islamic faith which Muslims in this country I know, push back very strongly on,” Johnson said. “So If I went into these [Muslim] communities calling it ‘Islamic extremism,’ I’d get nowhere.”

When the host of the event pointed out that most people feel this is just blatant political correctness, Sec. Johnson replied, “I could not disagree more.”

Pure Media Bias: Liberal Media Smears Mitt Romney With Death of Cecil The Lion

July 29, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

For the last few days the left-wing media has been losing its tiny collective mind over the death of Zimbabwe’s Cecil the lion. Well, today the liberal Washington-based political newspaper The Hill published a story breathlessly informing the world that the man who shot the lion donated to Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign. And then, in a perfect example of media bias, the left-wing newspaper Tweeted a photo of the dead lion next to an image of Romney!

This is little else but the yellowest of yellow journalism. What does Romney have to do with the death of Cecil the lion? Nothing. But for some reason The Hill wants to link the death of the beloved lion to Romney!

Here is the Tweet that the far left, non-journalists at The Hill sent out on Wednesday:

Charlie Hebdo: A Perfect Example of Why Liberals Should be Hated

July 28, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Ed Morrissey reminded me today that I wanted to say something about this foolish cave in to Islam perpetrated by the Charlie Hebdo magazine folks. And the long and short of it is that the people running this magazine are proof that modern liberalism is venal, ignorant, stupid, and evil and should be eschewed by any logical, caring, thinking person.

The whole world came to the side of the Charlie Hebdo folks after Muslims came and killed 12 members of the magazine’s staff. These 12 people were murdered because the magazine indulged in the ages old western right of freedom of speech without which we simply cannot have a growing, dynamic western culture.

These 12 people were murdered because they dared to make fun of the “Prophet” Mohammad–hate and death be upon his name. Immediately after the murders the remaining staff of Charlie Hebdo said that they were not going to back down and that their freedom of speech was sacrosanct.

That was as it should be, of course. If they would have stuck with that they should have everyone’s respect. No westerner should succumb to what is known as the “assassin’s veto.” Meaning that a killer will have the final word through his threat of murder thereby shutting down free expression.

VIDEO: NBC Talking Head Says FCC Should Fine Media That Refuse to Use the Correct ‘Transgender’ Label

July 27, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Revealing her inner fascist, another far left-wing NBC talking head went on TV today to say that if you don’t use the proper “transgender” term being bandied about this week you should be fined by the government and charged with “misgendering” people.

This is the perfect example of how the well-worn phrase “scratch a liberal and you’ll find a fascist underneath.” It is evidence that all liberals are fascist authoritarians. They claim they love “freedom” but their love of YOUR freedom stops as soon as you do something they don’t like.

The wacko in question this time is one Danielle Moodie-Mills who was identified as an “NBC Black Contributor” on MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry Show this morning.

In June John McCain Defeated a Move to Arm Our Solders at Recruiting Centers and Bases

July 24, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

In June, Nevada’s Republican Sen. Dean Heller tried to get the Pentagon to change its practice of banning arms from our soldiers on bases and in recruiting centers here in America. Unfortunately for our soldiers, John McCain was the principle foe of the move and helped to defeat the arming of our soldiers, a decision that recently had deadly consequences in Tennessee.

Last week Nebraska Senator Dean Heller appeared spoke to radio host Kevin Wall on KKFT AM in Carson City, NV, to talk about his amendment and noted that John McCain himself defeated the move to arm our soldiers.

Here is the audio of Heller’s visit to KKFT:

New York’s New School Rules for Transgendered Kids Would Allow Boys to Play on Girls Sports Teams

July 23, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

If things go as planned by advocates of the few so-called “transgendered” kids in the state of New York’s school system, boys will be able to join girls sports teams if those boys are pretending to be girls (and vice versa).

The new rules would essentially make kids sports entirely meaningless at least as far as records and wins goes. The rules do so by upending the natural limits on physical abilities inherent in sports when you keep boys and girls segregated by gender.

Worse, the new rules won’t even require the purportedly transgendered students to supply much by way of documentation to prove they are serious about being transgendered.

Advocates say that the whole state needs to be inconvenienced because there are maybe as many as 12 transgendered students in the whole state.

The new rules would also allow these kids to simply decide on their own which locker room they want to use.

Obama Takes Pledge to Defend the USA Out of Oath of Allegiance for New Citizens

July 22, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Obama has decided that newly naturalized Americans will no longer have to pledge to defend the USA against enemies. So, he’s taken out the part of the pledge requiring new citizens to bear arms on behalf of the United States or perform noncombatant duties in the armed forces in times of war.

This month Obama’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ruled that effective on July 21 of this year, candidates for naturalization will be able to skip the services clause while taking the oath to become Americans.

So that means that in an age when people are streaming here to pretend to become Americans in order to commit acts of terror, now Obama won’t even ask them to mouth the words that as newly minted citizens they will defend the USA against foreign enemies.

Obama’s Answer to Terrorism Against Our Troops: Have Them Remove Their Uniforms

July 20, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

On the heels of a terrorist attack on two military recruiting offices in Tennessee by a Muslim immigrant, the Obama administration announced a policy change to help prevent future attacks. Was it to finally arm our soldiers? Nope. It was to have them take off their uniforms. No really!

According to the Military Times, Obama’s weak-kneed Defense Secretary Ash Cater approved the decree that recruiters should take off their uniforms while performing their recruitment duties from now on.

So, now recruiters will be wearing…. what, shots and a t-shirt? Or better yet, maybe a burkah or maybe some turban-styled head covering. All in order to cringe in front of Islamic terrorists while pleading, “oh, please, please, Mr. terrorist, don’t kill us.”

Gun Banning Group Proposes Gov’t Use its Gun Buying ‘Power’ To End Run the Constitution

July 18, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

On Friday a group of left-wing “ministers” in some little-known “social justice” organization was given the platform of The New York Times to flog their ideas on how to ban guns. Their idea was to use the “buying power” the US government ostensibly has to force gun manufacturers to toe the gun banning line or face a reduction in federal guns and ammo purchases. Essentially, these purported ministers want to use the federal government’s buying status as a way to make an end run around the courts and the Constitution.

For the Metro Industrial Areas Foundation–a group that claims its goal is to “build power for social change”–authors the Rev. David K. Brawley, the Rev. Otis Moss III, the Rev. David Benke and Rabbi Joel Mosbacher had a novel if insidious idea on how to beat the courts, the Constitution, and force their ideas about guns on the country in a totally unaccountable manner.

They want their activist ideas implemented through the back door by having the US government force changes in the gun industry using its billions per year in guns and ammo purchases as a big stick to beat the industry into submission.

This would be no less than the federal government interfering in commerce on a massive scale.

MSNBC’s Mitchell Claims TN Terrorist Killed Because He’s a Southern Gun Nut, Not Because He’s Muslim

July 17, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell was so desperate to absolve Islam as a motive for yesterday’s terror attack by a Tennessee Muslim she tried to get a classmate of the murderer to say that the killer liked southern culture, guns, and hunting like other southerners do. Because, you know, conservative southerners are more prone to terror than Muslims are, right?

Mitchell was interviewing one of id’d murderer Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez’ classmates about what other kids thought of him when he was at Red Bank High School in Red Bank, Tennessee–a city just across the river from Chattanooga.

Mitchell launched into an odd line of questioning about Abdulazeez, a line of questioning that confused the killer’s classmate. Mitchell wanted to know if the killer was “part of small-town Tennessee activity” like shooting and gun culture.

“Were guns a big part of activities—social or other activities?” Mitchell asked the young woman who went to high school with the killer..

Chattanooga Shooter Identified as ISIS Terrorist and Not ‘A White Guy’

July 16, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

As the media rushed to report this morning’s attack on two military offices in Chattanooga, Tennessee some reported that the shooter was “a white guy.” But now we know that the shooter not only isn’t “a white guy” but he is a Middle Easterner likely caught up with the ISIS terror outfit.

Still, some of the earlier reporting on the shootings at two Tennessee military centers identified the shooter as “a white guy.” Many outlets rushed to report what a Muslim man in Chattanooga told the press–likely hoping that it really was a white guy who did the shooting.

The bad witness, one Mohamed Elbardissy–co-owner of the local Toscano Italian Grill–told the media that he saw the shooter and, “He was driving a silver, convertible Mustang” and was “a white guy.”

But it turns out it wasn’t “a white guy” at all. We now know it was a Muslim acting on behalf of the terror group ISIS or at the very least acting out his own little jihad.

Donald Trump is Jeb Bush’s Fault (Along with the REST Of the GOP Establishment)

July 13, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Let’s face it, Donald Trump has tapped into a very serious concern that most Americans have and that is illegal immigration. But the fact that he’s become a rising star in this GOP primary race at this time isn’t because he’s so great. It’s because the GOP is so damn bad on the issue. For Trump’s current success, the whole thing is Jeb Bush, John Boehner, and Mitch McConnell’s fault.

First off, let’s be frank. Donald Trump is not a conservative. He is a recent supporter of single payer healthcare, has claimed in the past that he supports blanket amnesty, and has been all over the map on such important topics as guns and abortion. So, please let’s stop pretending he is a conservative. He absolutely has no such track record.

But his denunciation of Obama’s failed–in fact dangerous–immigration policy is exactly what angers and frightens GOP voters along with a fair portion of Democrats.

Likely without doing the requisite research for statistics to prove the matter, Trump innately understands that what we have going on in immigration is a dangerous and wrong headed policy, one that seems to have a twin purpose: to destroy this country and to set up a permanent Democrat majority through creating automatic Democrat voters after a presidential amnesty.

Trump has been absolutely fearless in speaking out against this dangerous policy that is turning America into a third world nation. He has taken the fight straight to Obama on numerous occasions and that is exactly what Republican voters want to see.

5 GOP Governors May Refuse to Obey Obama’s Global Warming Rules

July 8, 2015 by

Five Republican Governors are cooperating in a 10th Amendment-styled, states rights bid to defeat Obama’s un-Constitutional global warming power grab. The five are saying that they may simply ignore his edicts and refuse to implement his rules. Is your governor joining them? If not, why not?

Two of the GOP governors rattling their sabers are presidential hopefuls, so this issue just might become a national issue during the upcoming primary season.

The five governors who are warning Obama that they will simply ignore his power grab are Mary Fallin of OK, Greg Abbott of TX, Mike Pence of IN, and presidential candidates Bobby Jindal of LA, and Scott Walker of WS are also part of the group.

Assuming The South Was ‘The Confederacy’ Is Built on a Lie

July 6, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

When people today say that “the south” were all racist “Confederates” during the civil war you can dismiss them as either historically illiterate cranks, or liars. That’s because there was no such thing as “the south” during the civil war. History is more complicated than that and we risk not understanding our own country if we ignore this fact.

When simpletons think about the American civil war they think of “the north” versus “the south.” But the truth is there was never any “the south” during the whole of the conflagration. Not for an instant was “the south” fully vested in the Confederate States of America. Instead, as “the south” fought the federal army in multiple places around the country there were vicious internal insurrections and mini civil wars going on all over the place as southerners who supported the U.S. government fought and killed southerners who supported the nascent Confederacy and this fighting was going on in the supposed Confederate states themselves, quite apart from the war proper raging on famed battlefields across the land.

The fact is, “the south” was never fully under the control of the central Confederate government in Richmond (and Montgomery, Alabama before that) and neither were the Confederate state governments able to completely control their own states because of constant internal resistance from their own citizens. There was internecine warfare going on in North Carolina, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas and other southern states throughout the civil war.

Even as the south was never fully vested in the Confederacy, the north was never paralyzed with such consternation. A key to proving this is to look at the volunteers who streamed to the armies north and south. In the north there is only one state, Illinois, that ever had any appreciable southern volunteers.

Red Skelton’s Pledge Of Allegiance

This Independence Day holiday is an excellent time to revisit one of Red Skelton’s most endearing works: his recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and what that pledge means.

Through the 40s, 50s, and 60s, Red Skelton was one of America’s most revered funny men. He was everywhere in movies and all across the early TV. Skelton may be little known by today’s newer generations, but he is someone we should never forget for his patriotism and clean humor.

He made quite a splash in 1969 with his personalized pledge of Allegiance.

You don’t get patriotic entertainment like this anymore…

John Adams’ Reminiscences of the First Independence Day

July 4, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

John Adams was one of the truly indispensable men among our founding fathers. He was the man that wrote one of the first fully written out Constitutions in human history when he wrote the Constitution of Massachusetts. He wrote a seminal book on government that helped inform the founders of our nation, he was an ambassador to France and other European nations, he was our first vice president, our second president, and more.

In fact, Adams was at the center of one of the incidents that set the tone for our national character. When the Redcoats responsible for the Boston Massacre were put under arrest, John Adams stepped forward to represent the Redcoats in court. Many of his fellow patriots were amazed at this offer, some even incensed at Adams for doing so. But Adams said that the rule of law was far more important than merely making points with the home crowd and the Redcoats deserved to have competent representation.

239 Independence Days and Counting, But What Does it all Mean?

July 4, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Today America enjoys the celebration of 238 years of existence as a nation by noting the day we declared our independence from our Mother nation, England. Sadly, that celebration has, for too many, become the “July Fourth” holiday, a day of picnics, rote parades, “white sales,” and for some a day off work. Of course, we should not and don’t celebrate any “July Fourth.” We celebrate Independence Day, the day we formally separated from our parent nation and took those first unsteady steps into the world as a nation of our own.

So, what is this Independence Day all about? Well, for one thing we celebrate the gifts that our Creator has given us. That’s right, our Founding Fathers started this nation celebrating the gifts of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and those natural rights given to us by God, rights that no man can take away from us, rights no man can legitimately prevent us from observing.

Contrary to the God averse America we have devolved into, the Declaration mentions God, the Creator, or the divine multiple times and the Founders rested their entire claim of liberty and freedom on the claim that no government can legitimately take away the natural rights that mankind should and must enjoy.

Racist Actor George ‘Mr. Sulu’ Takei Calls Black Man a ‘Clown in Black Face’

July 2, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Is the out and proud gay Star Trek actor a racist for calling a black man a “clown in black face”? Usually the left attacks racists like this for this kind of hate speech? Of course, the left won’t attack in this case because “Mr. Sulu” just attacked Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a black man that the left claims “isn’t really black.”

Takei made his racist comment during an interview on a local Phoenix Fox News affiliate. He was on to talk about his views on gay marriage, an issue on which he’s become a loud national supporter.

Takei attacked Thomas for saying that slavery was “dignified” and then couched his discussion of American slavery by quoting a movie. Yes, a movie. Takei thinks movies tell us all we need to know about America history.

Here is what Takei said…

Chris Christie: Historical Illiterate

July 1, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

On Tuesday, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced that he was joining the other 75 or 80 candidates for the 2016 GOP nomination for president. But during his announcement, Christie seemed to prove that he is illiterate about American history.

One of Christie’s great themes during his announcement is that the nation needs a great compromiser in chief, a candidate who will “reach across the aisle” and work with “our friends the Democrats.”

But in touting his fealty to “compromise,” Christie made an analogy to the Founding fathers that was both clumsy, and completely incorrect.

A little less than half way through his comments, Christie delivered this paragraph:

And both parties. Both parties have failed our country. Both parties have stood in the corner and held their breath and waited to get their own way. And both parties have lead us to believe that in America, a country that was built on compromise, that somehow now compromise is a dirty word. If Washington and Adams and Jefferson believed compromise was a dirty word, we’d still be under the crown of England.

Firstly, when he said, “If Washington and Adams and Jefferson believed compromise was a dirty word, we’d still be under the crown of England,” this doesn’t even make any sense at all. None of these three founders “compromised” with England. Neither did any of the other founders. Once they chose separation and independence there was no longer any thought to compromising with the British government.

So, right there that line makes no sense at all.

An Example of How the Media is Lying About the Confederate Flag

June 30, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

The current flap over the Confederate flag has two very interesting features. One is that the debate over the flag is completely divorced from the incident that supposedly spawned it–the nine murdered in a Charleston church. And two, it is notable for the fact that the media is lying about the flag’s history by making the Confederacy out to be a “Republican problem” instead of more properly a Democrat one.

While Democrats and their media lapdogs run around attacking the Confederate flag in support of the nine murder victims of the AME church in Charleston, the fact is the flag has nothing at all to do with the attack. Many have noted that the whole debate is a total distraction, certainly, but it is a distraction with a point and that point is in my second reason for this debate. Clearly the goal is to drum up a fake issue with which to attack Republicans.

One of the more fitting example of this effort to paint Republicans as the Party of the Confederacy is in a Monday piece by The New York Times’s Michael Barabaro and co-author Jonathan Martin.

The Monday piece is entitled, “5 Days That Left a Confederate Flag Wavering, and Likely to Fall,” and the entire article is a skewing of history in order to foist the controversy of the Confederacy upon the Republican Party–yes, the very party that fought against the Confederacy.

The most revealing paragraph is the article’s fifth.

Jeb Bush Calls Southerners and the Confederate Flag ‘Racist’

-By Warner Todd Huston

Jeb Bush has now told the entire south that he doesn’t want their vote by claiming that the Confederate flag and all who support it are racist.

Bush made his comments on Monday at a campaign stop in South Carolina.

He told the media in Charleston that he has felt that the flag and those who support it are racist since he took down the flag in Florida in 2001.

“The symbols were racist,” the Republican presidential candidate said during a campaign stop at a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant.

“If you’re trying to lean forward rather than live in the past, you want to eliminate the barriers that create disagreements, and so I did,” he added.

Notice that Bush used the liberal terminology “lean forward” here? Quite telling on how he thinks.

In Strike Against Racism S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley Has Banned Cotton Balls in South Carolina

Fresh off her PR victory of calling for the end of Confederate history, this weekend South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley called for the removal of cotton balls from the her state citing the long history of racism the product represents.

“Today we are here in a moment of unity in our state without ill will to say it is time to remove cotton balls from our state,” said the Republican Governor, the state’s first non-white governor, while flanked by a diverse group of South Carolina politicians.

“These balls, while an integral part of our past, do not represent the future of our great state,” Haley said. “We need to eliminate not just cotton balls, but all cotton products from our good state because of the racist history cotton has to a tiny, activist portion of our citizenry.”

Proponents said that lifting cotton balls from store shelves reminds African Americans too much of “pickin’ cotton,” and the constant reminder of tags in clothing that tell buyers that an item is made of cotton is racist.

Vatican Signs Peace ‘Treaty’ With Non-Existent ‘State of Palestine’

June 26, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Those criticizing Pope Francis as the “Red Pope” have yet another reason to rail against him with the announcement that the Vatican has signed a new peace treaty with the “state of Palestine” despite the fact that no such state exists not to mention that the Palestinians are a terror group whose chief goal is to kill all Jews–a goal the Palestinians have steadfastly refused to change.

The AP reports today that Vatican Foreign Minister Paul Gallagher signed a treaty with the terrorist state of Palestine in order to “help stimulate peace with Israel.”

Israel said that it regrets the move saying it would tend to discourage the Palestinians from returning to direct peace negotiations with Israel and warned that it would study the agreement “and its implications for future cooperation between Israel and the Vatican.”

‘King v Burwell’ Marks the Official End of the American Republic

June 25, 2015 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

As he exited the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was supposed to have told a bystander that the founders had given us a Republic, “if we could keep it.” Well this week’s latest Obamacare decision by the U.S. Supreme Court proves that we ultimately couldn’t keep it, Mr. Franklin. America is now a dead letter.

Of course, what Franklin’s possibly apocryphal reply meant was that we only had a United States system if informed citizens kept the government’s feet to the republican fires. We could only keep the system the founders gave us if we made sure the government stayed true to the system as handed down to us.

That system was one of a constitutional republic built on a rule of law, built on generations of tradition as evinced in the Common Law, and laid out with a system that had set parameters that were expected to remain virtually unchanged (though not unchangeable).

That system has been slowly eroded by parties and presidents who have had no fealty to our American way of life. Destroyers such as the Democrat Party, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, and the mewling fellow travelers of the GOP who have quietly supported the destruction, all have taken their toll on our republic. But it wasn’t until the advent of our most anti-American president yet in Barack Hussein Obama that the nation finally died a death not from revolution, but from neglect.

Thoday’s action by the opportunist Chief Justice John Roberts has thrown the last spade full of dirt over the grave of the American Republic.
