by Chris Black We just got word of yet another guilt-ridden, feel-bad flick from our enemies in Hollyweird, this time a so-called western dubbed “Hostiles.

by Michael Snyder This story has not been published anywhere in the world yet, and so you are getting to read this before anyone else does.

By Robert Carbery America’s massive $20.5 trillion debt will never go down if the federal government continues spending at the rate it has been over recent decades. No amount of tax increases will close the gap between what our government takes in and what we spend on our ridiculously bloated bureaucracy in Washington DC. We … Read more
by Mark Angelides In what must be the most ridiculous interview ever carried out on CNN, Chris Cuomo (no fan of The Donald) speaks with LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, the UCLA basketball player arrested in China.

by Mark Angelides A pervasive anti-Conservative attitude has long been present in awards shows and ceremonies, but the exclusion of women who do not lean full tilt for the “progressive” ideology is more damaging to society than most.
