For Hillary Clinton and Democrats, Not ALL Lives Matter

Have you noticed that in 2016, not ALL lives are created equal? At least, not according to Hillary Clinton, President Obama, the Democratic Party, and their knee-jerk, sycophantic sock-puppets in the mainstream media. In fact, there’s a color-coded, religion-specific pecking order to determining which lives matter most.

President Obama, Attack Terrorists, Not Strawmen

In the direct aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks – out of the simmering ashes of the Twin Towers and the smoldering remains of so many of our loved ones – America was momentarily united.

It Wasn’t Trump who First Defied the Judiciary

With apologies to Mr. Taylor, there absolutely was a U.S. president in “recent memory” who outright defied the judiciary. In fact, his misconduct generated global headlines and triggered a constitutional crisis, which ultimately led to his impeachment.

It’s Time for Conservatives to Consolidate for Trump

Trump is not a philosopher-king conservative. He’s not a purist. Instead, he’s a mercurial, Machiavellian executive who sidesteps obstacles, cuts corners, manipulates loopholes, gouges eyeballs and leverages positional assets to achieve what he wants.

Rushing into Oblivion: Underpaid and Unappreciated, Backs Look for Daylight in Pass-Happy NFL

It used to be one of the true glamour positions in all of American sports. Coveted and prized—its elite players enjoyed prestige, power, and respect. It commanded top-dollar and gave us the Heisman pose, for crying out loud! In the 1980s and 1990s, the Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints both paid a king’s ransom for just one of ’em (Herschel Walker and Ricky Williams respectively). Ah… what used to be.

Kid Dynamite First Exploded in a Boxing Ring 30 Years Ago

On March 6, 1985, a stick of (Kid) Dynamite was tossed into the professional boxing ring at the Empire State Plaza Convention Center in Albany, New York.
