New York Times: America’s Best Days May Be Behind It

Eduardo Porter of the New York Times writes that the United States saw a dramatic increase in its standard of living during the half century before the 1960s but hasn’t in the 50 years since.From the New York Times:Take a look back at some of the most popular TV programs of the mid-1960s — “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” “Bewitched,” even “The Beverly Hillbillies” — and what do you see?Like today, middle-class Americans typically had washing machines and air-conditioning, telephones and cars. The Internet and video games were not yet invented. But life, over all, did not look that different.There were TVs and radios in most homes. Millions of people ...
Selective Outrage: National Review Trashes Trump, Rallies Behind Ryan
Post Date: 2016-01-23 08:28:43 by cranky

A little over three months ago, National Review endorsed Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) for Speaker of the House. In doing so, National Review helped place a man with a two-decade history of pushing open borders immigration policies in charge of the Republican Party’s entire legislative agenda. Ten weeks after that endorsement helped Paul Ryan secure the Speakership, Ryan proceeded to swiftly pass an omnibus spending bill that funded and expanded President Obama’s immigration agenda. Ryan’s bill provided funding for sanctuary cities, illegal alien resettlement, illegal alien tax credits, and visa issuances to nearly 300,000 (temporary and permanent) Muslim migrants over the next 12 ...
Witless Ape: The Director's Cut

If you're in the New York-Washington corridor this weekend, Miss Jessica Martin and I have the perfect musical accompaniment. ~This is a droll line from Professor Glenn Reynolds: If Obama had 2 more terms, he'd have to build a wall to keep Americans in. ~National Review's initial reaction to Donald Trump's entry into the presidential race appeared a few hours after he launched his campaign under the headline "Witless Ape Rides Escalator". Their condescension has got a little subtler since then, and it's now gone long-form with an entire issue dedicated to the singular proposition: "Against Trump". I've received a ton of emails today asking me what ...
Limbaugh: ‘Undiluted, Concentrated Liberal Destruction’ and GOP Failure to Respond Led to Trump
Post Date: 2016-01-22 20:19:01 by cranky

Friday on his radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh offered his analysis on why supporters of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump tend to overlook his past liberal positions. According to Limbaugh, seven years of liberalism led by President Barack Obama and the seeming unwillingness of Republicans in Congress to take on Obama with their legislative powers are in part why Trump has this diehard support. Transcript as follows: So here’s Dana Bash on CNN last night, and she’s saying Trump was outspokenly pro-choice. He has been outspoken in his history in a book that he published, wanting single payer universal health care system, and much of the conservative ...
Bulldozing Monuments and the War on American History

Editor’s Note: The following is a debate with Timothy Sandefur of the Pacific Legal Foundation over the New Orleans City Council’s December 17, 2015 decision to remove four monuments relating to the Confederacy. Read Sandefur’s article here. On December 17, the New Orleans City Council voted to remove four Confederate statues from the city, using obscure “nuisance” laws to strip these over 100-year-old historic monuments from their places of display. Mayor Mitch Landrieu said it was a “courageous decision to turn a page on our divisive past and chart the course for a more inclusive future.” Of course, the plan to remove the statues is itself divisive as a ...
Kevin Drum, assisted suicide and ... me

I normally send our readers to stories which are either interesting, entertaining, enraging or at least – hopefully – informative and applicable to topics of import in the conservative sphere. Today I would direct your attention to one which may or may not fall into any of the above categories and most certainly isn’t entertaining. It’s a lengthy article by Kevin Drum at Mother Jones which will likely be very hard to read because it deals with a touchy subject, relating directly to Kevin and his family… assisted suicide. California recently passed an end of life law along these lines (which I wrote about at the time) and it has a lot to do with this story. This is ...

Thank You, Donald JAN 18, 2016 | By WILLIAM KRISTOL Writing in mid-June, a couple of days after Donald Trump announced his candidacy, we offered the judgment that he should not be our next president: “We're not Trump enthusiasts. We're not even Trump fellow travelers. We're closer to Trump deriders." And so we unapologetically remain. It would be ungracious not to acknowledge Trump's remarkable standing in the polls six months later. But we see no reason to alter our conclusion that Donald Trump shouldn't be president of the United States. Indeed, Trump's behavior over this period has confirmed our judgment. If back in June we wrote that the rest of the ...
Black Lives Matter: We Saw It Coming, Now Here’s What’s Coming Next

Breitbart News has given #BlackLivesMatter more detailed, deep, and honest coverage than any other media outlet on the planet in 2015, and for good reason. From covering every major protest they did to exposing the cop killer that the group worships to revealing the secret funder behind the movement to Milo Yiannopoulos’s complete shredding of activist Shaun King, Breitbart News has been the go-to source for original reporting on Black Lives Matter. Why is Breitbart News so on top of the Black Lives Matter movement? Easy. We saw it coming. Not everyone liked what we saw either. In August 2012, the magazine American Conservative did an article on the film Occupy Unmasked. That film was ...
Former Trump Aide: He’s Doomed (total collapse)

Photo Illustration by Emil Lendof/The Daily BeastWhy a former political adviser to the Republican frontrunner believes Trump’s candidacy is closing in on a total collapse.If this scenario plays out, Nunberg doesn’t “see a pathway to the nomination—he certainly wouldn’t be the frontrunner anymore.”Look at the polls, and Donald Trump is crushing his Republican opponents. But from the perspective of Sam Nunberg, a political adviser who worked for Trump until earlier this year, The Donald’s campaign is losing—and is just a couple months from total disaster. “What I’m worried about is, I don’t know what his inner circle is telling him.

It’s Time to Rally Around Donald Trump [Full Thread]

Brent Bozell has called on conservatives to rally around Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for the Republican presidential nomination. Ted Cruz is a good man and a fine candidate — my own second choice — but I believe GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is the candidate for American patriots to rally around. Bozell states that Cruz is the one candidate who will return the United States to “her Constitutional foundations and Judeo-Christian values,” explaining: On every issue of crucial importance to conservatives—defunding Planned Parenthood, ending the Obamacare nightmare, reducing the size of government, opposing amnesty—Cruz is not only with conservatives, he’s led the ...

Rome became great by ruining her neighboring cities, and by freely admitting strangers to her privileges and honors.

“Crescit interea Roma, Albæ ruinis.” Those who desire a city to achieve great empire must endeavor by all possible means to make her populous; for without an abundance of inhabitants it is impossible ever to make a city powerful. This may be done in two ways; either by attracting population by the advantages offered, or by compulsion. The first is to make it easy and secure for strangers to come and establish themselves there, and the second is to destroy the neighboring cities, and to compel their inhabitants to come and dwell in yours. These principles were so strictly observed by the Romans, that, in the time of the sixth king, Rome had already eighty thousand ...

Somebody correct me if I am wrong,but isn't Chicago his hometown,and Illinois his home state? Seems to me like he was elected to local office in Chicago,and then to state office in Illinois,and ran for the office of President as a US Senator from Illinois. So......,WTF is he doing taking all these expensive vacations in Hawaii? Has this goober EVER been back to Chicago,where he STILL owns a mansion in a white neighborhood,since he was elected as President? Poster Comment:Why is the press ignoring this?

2008 and again in 2012, real Americans knew we were being lied to about Barack Obama and that the media covered for him. Fortunately those days are over. In next year's election against Donald Trump all that has been whispered, smothered, lost and hidden about Hillary Clinton will be blasted out by Trump. The media will have no choice but to help him because he owns them. By March Trump will be coasting to the Republican nomination. In the past such early success has been a problem for Republican candidates. The media used it as an excuse to stop covering him. Rules about matching funds and not starting too soon have also hampered Republicans while Democrat PACs have openly ...
Imagine If Donald Trump Ran As A Democrat — It’s Not Too Hard To Do [Full Thread]

Imagine for a moment if Donald Trump made the decision to run for president as a Democrat instead of as a Republican. As Trump-mania continues to dominate the Republican presidential primary, it’s not hard to envision an alternate reality – one where the real estate billionaire is taking the country by storm as a Democrat. In many ways, it would have been easier for Trump to enter the Democratic primary than the Republican primary. Trump was registered as a Democrat from 2001 to 2009 and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid over the years. (In fairness, he has donated a lot of money to Republican candidates as well.) ...

Obama has abused the republic and the constitution by using Executive orders. In this same fashion I see Trump undoing everything Obama did with just the same orders and hopefully more. I would love to see Trump(or next president) erase Obama's damage one EO at a time. I must say it would be give me hope that Amerika had a chance. I want Trump to be a bull in the progressives tearoom making a big freakin mess of everything these POS have pushed on Amerika! basically payback is a bitch in heat!

His name is Paul Wolscht. Paul is a 52-year-old pervert, a “transgender” activist, and a “trans consultant” from Canada who was recently given a glowing profile in a gay news site whose name and web address I will not promote. He is, just like every other “transgender,” a homosexual cross dresser and clinical narcissist who wears skirts and makeup because he finds it sexually stimulating (underscored in this case by the fact that his chosen girl name is, I’m not kidding, ...
This Is How Fox News Brainwashes Its Viewers

2016 presidential primary season is in full swing, which means, among other things, that Fox News’ ratings are skyrocketing. Fox News has been the most watched cable news network in the country for 12 straight years, regularly pulling in more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined. During the first Republican primary debate of this season, Fox clocked its most-ever (24 million) viewers, making the two-hour show the highest-rated non-sports cable telecast of all time. Over the last ten years, everyone I know has lost a friend or family member or mentor to Fox News. Like me, they have watched helplessly as people they love have become part of the conservative ...

A Simple Proposal MR.President,we hear you ranting and raving about gun control,yet here you are,surrounded by people carrying concealed guns,some of which are even machine pistols,24 hours a day,7 days a week. My suggestion Mr.President is for you to lead by example by swearing a public oath today to move back to Chicago once you leave the White House,and not to your mansion in a rich white neighborhood. Move to a black neighborhood in the city itself,and make the move without any bodyguards whatsoever. Take a pledge today Mr.President that you will live like you want the rest of us to live,dependent on your local police department to show up in time to save you if attacked. Swear that ...

In the wake of the San Bernardino jihad slaughter, Obama’s jihad denial took a malevolent and tyrannical turn. The day after a horrific ISIS rampage, Obama’s Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, pledged to an Islamic supremacist lobbying group that she would prosecute anyone who used “anti-Muslim” rhetoric. Lynch declared: “When we talk about the First Amendment we [must] make it clear that actions predicated on violent talk are not American. They are not who we are, they are not what we do, and they will be prosecuted. My message not just to the Muslim community but to all Americans is: we cannot give in to the fear that these backlashes are really based on.” If ...
SAN BERNARDINO SHOOTERS A LOT LIKE OTHER MASS SHOOTERS

As I went to press with this column, the San Bernardino shooters were unknown, but I had a pretty good inkling they weren’t white men. Days earlier, in response to Robert Dear Jr.'s murder of three people at a Colorado Springs shopping mall last week, The New York Times exulted: "Even as politicians and those in Congress pump up public fears at the supposed threat of refugees fleeing Syria, every day in America people -- mostly white men -- are walking into movie theaters, restaurants, churches, grade schools and health care centers armed to the teeth, determined to take as many people out as they can." Mostly white men??? I know it didn't happen here, but is the ...

Fascism A Socialist Leftwing Ideology: Communism, Fascism, Labor Unions, Workers And Students Exploiting ‘Crisis’ “We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions.” — Adolf Hitler, from speech delivered on May 1, 1927 As I have frequently contended, the fascism of the Nazis (as well as “fascism” in general) was a species of socialism – and socialism, as the ...
