Savage exposes how Bernie Sanders and other anti-American Democrats must be defeated by American patriots. He calls for an investigation into Sanders' background and his visits to the Soviet Union. Savage discusses Sanders' radical proposals and the growing influence of leftwing groups like Antifa, calling for it to be labeled a terrorist group. He speculates as to why there is a resurgence of socialism in the Trump era. He then warns that the United Kingdom is bellwether for what could happen to America. Listeners tell Savage how London, Munich, and other European cities have been transformed by communists using radical Islamists.

Following the ruling by the Supreme Court in England, Prime Minister Keir Starmer now says that trans women (aka men) are not women.  For years, Starmer maintained that men who say they are women are indeed women.  Perhaps Starmer's new outlook will soon be shared by American Democrats. The state of Maine continues to defy the Trump administration by allowing boys to compete against girls in girls' sports.  The DOJ will now be stepping in. #BobbyEberle #ProtectWomensSports #CommonSense

Last November, Democrats lost the popular vote for the U.S. presidency for the first time in 20 years against a divisive Republican candidate who had nearly been barred from politics for life over his alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection. That defeat shocked the Democratic Party and its supporters, and some analysts say that Democrats today remain in a state of traumatized paralysis even as President Trump rapidly pursues a highly controversial partisan agenda. American liberals split even further in recent weeks, after some Senate Democrats backed a heavily Republican budget in order to avert a government shutdown, a move criticized by the more progressive wing of the party. The center-left defends that decision, however, arguing that a shutdown would have made the current American crisis even worse. Watch the above 33-minute video of America Speaks as pollster and political analyst Dr. Frank Luntz asks American Democrats to share what they think is wrong with their party, how they can correct course for the future, and how to resist what they say is the dictatorship of Donald Trump.

It's episode 33 and James is just back from British Columbia and rambles about his shows in Salmon Arm, Penticton, Vernon and Kelowna and what he has watched including Wrestlers, Mr. McMahon and the new Netflix series about the tragic JonBenét Ramsey case. He also covers Trudeau (Senior and Junior), lying, corruption, American Democrats, anarchy, Joe Berlinger, Heart Bones by Colleen Hoover, Musk and Twitter and communities. Oh and he finally finishes his indiscreet Tom Hiddleston anecdote. You're welcome! Questions for next week's episode should be emailed to: comedy@jamesmullinger.com Learn more about James

I set out today to discuss the Conservative Party leadership election here in the UK and the implications of our new Tory leader. However, as events have unfolded across the Atlantic, my initial plan feels a bit trivial in light of the bigger picture. Like many, I presumed—perhaps naively—that the American election would head in a different direction.Yet, here we are: Donald Trump has won.While the outcome of the Conservative leadership contest certainly holds significance within British politics, it pales in comparison to the potential ramifications of Trump's return to power. The issues we face with certain Tory figures, however controversial or disagreeable they may be, cannot compare to the scale of dismay surrounding Trump. Unlike Conservative leaders, Trump openly denies climate change, has a history of convictions and accusations of sexual assault, and is embroiled in controversies ranging from mishandling state secrets to even more shocking accusations. Despite any criticism one might level at Kamala Harris or the American Democrats, the contrast in leadership styles and values between the two parties is stark.Certainly, I have my qualms with the American Democrats. They aren't truly left-leaning, and their pro-Israel stance, particularly regarding the ongoing Gaza conflict, is far from something I align with. Nonetheless, whoever they put forward—whether it's Biden, who many argue is too old, or Harris, with her policy positions that I can't support—is fundamentally better for democracy than someone with Trump's record. Here is a man who openly admits to behaviour many would find repulsive, has mused about using military force against his political opponents, and has even chosen a running mate who has questioned the voting rights of childless women. It's a surreal scenario, almost like something out of a dark political satire.When Trump lost the last election, he didn't just concede quietly; he attempted a coup.The images of him hoarding classified documents in his bathroom, allegedly sharing secrets with foreign powers, paint an astonishingly grim picture. Meanwhile, figures like Elon Musk and other so-called ‘crypto bros' are aligning themselves with Trump, seeing in him an easily manipulable figure who could serve their interests. It brings to mind the oligarchs in 1990s Russia, only this time it's in America, with the ultra-wealthy vying to consolidate power.Some might try to dismiss this outcome with the assurance that it's only four years, and people will see reason in time. Yet, America's political landscape doesn't work that way.The politically appointed Supreme Court is already stacked in the Republicans' favour, and within the next four years, Trump could appoint additional justices. This would likely solidify a hard-right majority, capable of dismantling rights and protections long held dear by many Americans. Even if something were to happen to Trump, his influence would remain entrenched in the judiciary and the Senate for years, shaping policy far beyond his own tenure.What's particularly staggering is that this time, Trump might even have won the popular vote, a feat he didn't achieve in his first election. It's baffling to think that so many could support a figure who openly disregards democratic principles and exhibits disdain for so many groups within his own voter base—women, non-white citizens, and immigrants, to name a few. It's enough to make Brexit seem like a minor hiccup in comparison.While I still hold the belief that people are generally decent, albeit sometimes misled, today has sorely tested that faith. Watching the outcome of this election unfold, I find myself deeply concerned about what lies ahead. America's leadership doesn't only impact its own citizens but has a ripple effect on global issues—especially the climate crisis and conflicts in places like Ukraine.In any case, here we are on November 6th, faced with an unpredictable and turbulent path ahead. Perhaps, when the dust settles, I'll muster the energy to revisit the topic of the Tory leadership. But for now—well, let's just brace ourselves. This is a public episode.

American Democrats had long prided themselves on taking the high road in the face of insults and mockery from the right. But over the past week, their tone—and the vibes of the presidential campaign—have shifted. Since Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee, she and other top democrats have begun calling their Republican opponents just plain "weird" and sometimes "creepy".The response to it from the right has been fascinating. And Harris certainly appears to have wiped out the deficit she inherited from Joe Biden and brought the race even again. Why has "weird" worked so well? How has the race actually changed on the ground? What will define the final few months of the campaign?GUEST: Aaron Rupar, American political journalist, founder of Public Notice We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Vice-President Kamala Harris has attracted the support of enough Democratic delegates to become the party's nominee for president.  Harris said she was "proud" to have secured "broad support" and looked forward to formally accepting the nomination. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Ethan Kushner, Chair of American Democrats in Israel, about the prospect of a Harris Trump presidential contest.

American Democrats are rallying behind Vice President Kamala Harris after President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential election on Sunday. Harris still needs to be confirmed as the official candidate of the Democratic Party by the party convention in mid-August. But she already has endorsements of high ranking Democrats and support of more than a half of the party delegates. What are her chances of defeating the Republican candidate Donald Trump?Guest: Alexander Kliment - analyst at Eurasia Group, senior writer and editor at GZERO Media and editor of GZERO Daily a newsletter about global politicsČlánek a další informace najdete na webu Seznam Zprávy.Sledujte nás na sociálních sítích X (Twitter), Instagram (linkuj: https://www.instagram.com/zaminutusest/) nebo Threads (linkuj: https://www.threads.net/@zaminutusest).

US President Joe Biden worked to calm senior Democrats and staff on his campaign on Wednesday, as reports suggested he was weighing his future after his disastrous debate with Donald Trump last week. Biden held a closed-door lunch with Vice-President Kamala Harris at the White House as speculation mounted over whether she would replace him as the party's candidate in November's election. Questions have been swirling around whether the 81-year-old will continue with his campaign following the debate with Trump, which was marked by verbal blanks, a weak voice and some answers which were difficult to follow. It sparked concern in Democratic circles around his fitness for office and his ability to win the election. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Ethan Kushner, chair of American Democrats in Israel .      See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To keep democracy's head above water in 2024 the Democrats need what's called a trifecta - meaning the Presidency, the House and the Senate - and keeping the senate is going to be a tough slog because Democrats have what's called a “bad map”. So today, instead of talking about the must win swing races we hear about all the time, we're going to discuss two Senate races that almost no-one is paying attention to. Two Senate races practically no-one is investing in, because it's assumed they've already been won by Republicans when the truth is they haven't. American Democrats often function in this weird defeatist culture where we keep fighting over the same 6 states and seeding other states to Republicans with the assumption they're lost and no Democrat can ever win there. It's not fair to the people who have different opinions in those states. It's not fair to the people who lose their rights thanks to Republican policies, and it's not democratic. People should have a candidate to vote for, and that candidate should have the opportunity to win. So today's episode includes two women, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (or DMP) from Florida and Katrina Christiansen from North Dakota. We're going to hear their stories and remind ourselves that no state should be written off. That everybody deserves a chance to be represented in America and with so much on the line, we need to support every Democrat running. The party might not be focusing on these two races, but We the People, should be. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

EPISODE 65 | Acronyms for Satan - CERN, LHC, WWW & More Ever since its very beginning, wild speculation has circulated about the LHC at CERN. That it causes shifts in reality, leading to the dreaded Mandela Effect. That it actually sucked the earth into a black hole (where we now presumably reside). That it creates antimatter. That it is a secret temple to the dark lord of the underworld, SATAN, and it trying to open a portal to the Netherworld. That its spacetime bending properties were harnessed by American Democrats to steal the 2020 presidential election (this despite it being in Switzerland).  So it's time now to take a look at this organization and its complex at the edge of Geneva, and the 27km in circumference tunnel ring and see what it is and what they get up to in there.

Paxton is leading the pack! 00:00 - Sam's Introduction for Tuesday, June 07, 2022. 00:27 – Sam, Chuck & Tom – 8 min – Opening Segment where the boys talk about Cicilline accidentally using the term “right to life” and rating hotel soaps. 08:06 – Ken Paxton – Texas Attorney General – 9 min – The discussion started out with the statistics on Ken Paxton’s primary run-off victory. AG Paxton then talked about the law suits that he has been putting forward against the Big Tech companies. The most recent suit was about the use of Bots to deceive advertisers into paying more for the platform than it is worth. He also talked about the border crisis as it relates to human trafficking and fentanyl overdose. https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/texas-ag-investigation-twitter-fake-bot-accounts 17:18 – Jessica Colon – Republican Strategist – 13 min – Sam and Jessica talked about The Democrats reaction to 80% of Americans polling the economy being bad, the running of the November elections and local lies from the Judges. There was only 1 day where crime was lower in Houston than last year, and Mayor Turner used that 1 day to say that murder rates are down. 29:59 – Ret. Lt. Col. James J. Carafano – Heritage –11 min – Sam and JJ reviewed the movies “Top Gun; Maverick”, and “The Guardian.” They then went on to discuss the Red Flag Laws that are being proposed by the Democrats. Specifically, they talked about the shortcomings of lack of due process, protection of property rights, lack of mental health considerations and the lack of evidence that the laws have accomplished their objectives where they have been implemented. JJ said the red flags are actually false flags that do nothing but infringe on the right to bear arms without contributing to public safety. He states that American Democrats are literally following in the footsteps of Stalin and Mao. Mr. Carafano then pointed out that George Soros is now spending more money to buy “Hispanic” media companies without understanding that each Spanish speaking country sees itself as a separate nation, and not all of them see eye-to-eye. 41:27 - CloseSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we celebrate May Day, we're asking: Why do things keep getting worse for so many workers around the world?

In 2018, she published Leftism Reinvented: Western Parties from Socialism to Neoliberalism, which analyses the history of four parties in particular: the Swedish Social Democrats, the British Labour Party, the American Democrats and, of course, our very own German SPD.

Trudeau's Canadian Fascism Is a Bigger Threat to America Than Putin Putin has sent has 100K+ troops into the fake separatist regions of Ukraine, and that's bad. But the morphing of Canada into a fascist state before our eyes is exponentially worse. A garbage elite on our border – with the disgraceful support of 65% of American Democrats – has declared war upon the working class, outraged that mere peasants are refusing to submit to their betters. Due process, free speech, not beating the brains out of old ladies with walkers – these basics have gone by the wayside and... View Article

In this week's episode of We Love Outdoors with Rich Davenport, your humble host decided to release this podcast a day early, as he will be traveling next week, and wanted to make sure the audience has the updated true information and news that has happened in the past week NYS has announced that the 2021 hunting season was the safest in recorded history in NY, as 9 Hunter Related Shooting Incidents occurred, with one sadly, being fatal. This despite more hunters in the woods, new hunting opportunities, lowering the hunting age from 14 to 12 and expanding big game hunting hours by 30 minutes on the beginning and end of each day. Two of the HRSIs were self-inflicted, one happened during pheasant hunting, and none of the incidents occurred during the new hunting hour periods. No youths were involved in any of the incidents, again, as it appears complacency is the cause, as the shooters all had at least 40 years of hunting experience. Elevated Hunting Incidents, former treestand incidents, came in at 10, with one being sadly fatal. All but one incident shared the common theme of no safety harness, and the one where the hunter did have a harness on, it wasn't attached to the tree. In other news, comment periods for Access and Public Use plans for Canadaway and Hanging Bog WMAs close March 2, 2022, while comments on the updated State Forest Management plan closes March 4. Submit your comments and participate in this! And DEC has also released another propsal, amendment to DEC Campground and day use areas to address aquatic invasive species. Some of the language in the press release seems pretty offensive, as recreational vessels do not introduce the invasives, that would be foreign shipping vessels! Recreational watercraft can certainly help spread them once they are introduced. The inaugural Chautauqua Lake Ice derby wraps up today at high noon, with entries accepted until 1:00 PM. Weather during the last part of February softened the shore ice to the point where it was nearly impossible to get on the lake. A cold spell coming up could tighten everything up for some March fishing. However, in a preview of open water fishing, Connor Cinelli, son of charter captain Chris Cinelli, has won the Roger Toby steelhead tournament with a 12.58 lbs beast! Congrats young man! And in record catch news, bass tournament angler Stephen Tyson, Jr. caught a monster striped bass while fishing an Arkansas Bass Fishing league tournament on Hamilton Lake near Hot Springs. He released the fish before weighing it and it was most likely a new Arkansas state record. The one that got away! In other news, more propaganda is being peddled concerning eagles and lead bullets. Your humble host gives you the actual truth of this, as the claims eagles are being poisoned by hunter's lead bullets when eagles scavenge shot, and unrecovered carcasses, is pure bunk and emotion. Many sources of lead contamination exist, and inorganic solid lead is not toxic. Atomized, colloidal and alkylated, or organic lead is what presents the problems! This is another continuation of anti-hunter, anti-2nd Amendment efforts with great emotion and deception being played yet again. Push back folks. And the news gets worse for offshore wind, while today's anti-American Democrats double down on stupid, completing a bid on the NY Bight and roughly 400,000 acres of ocean bottom to 6 wind developers for $4.37 BIL. Sets up a circle jerk of money laundering for sure, to get nothing, while conducting no environmental impact studies and ignoring lawsuits moving through the courts.

Charlie analyzes the latest updates on the ongoing saga in Canada as it continues its descent into totalitarianism as Trudeau lambasts those brave MPs who oppose his use of the Emergencies Act for “failing to trust the Canadian federal government.” And yet despite Trudeau's naked seizure of power from everyday citizens and the suspension of civil liberties, a shocking new poll demonstrates that both a majority of Canadians and American Democrats support Trudeau's fascist power grab. Will this inclination doom the US Trucker Convoy before it really gets started? But do they know what's really happening amongst the protesters, or is the regime media blocking the truth from most Canadians and many Americans? Charlie welcomes citizen journalist Drew Hernandez, host of the new TPUSA LIVE show “Frontlines,” to break down why the antidote to corporate gatekeeper media is regular people capturing reality on their iPhones.

Our Purple Principle series on Hollywood Presidents would not be complete without a stroll back in time through that show of all Potus shows, The West Wing, featuring Martin Sheen as President Josiah “Jed” Bartlet. We speak with award-winning West Wing writer, Paul Redford, a former Shakespearean actor turned screenscribe, who recalls: “West Wing came along and...filled a need that nobody knew was there… a need to believe again.”  Canadian writer and cultural critic, Luke Savage, thinks the show gave American Democrats a little too much of what they wanted to believe. One of his prominent critiques is entitled, “How Liberals Fell in Love with The West Wing,” describing it as “a series of glittering illusions to be abandoned.” In our TPP interview, Savage points to the smugness of the show, as well as naivete regarding possibilities for bipartisanship, as two of the more obvious weaknesses.  Redford concurs that The West Wing was created at a less partisan political time. In fact, following that show, he went on to write for two TV series deploying fictional independent Presidents to reach a wider audience -- Madam Secretary starring Téa Leoni and Designated Survivor starring Kiefer Sutherland. And regarding Designated Survivor, Redford agrees with the show creator David Guggenheim (TPP Season 2, Episode 12) that this was an effort to make an anti-West Wing, with not a lofty Bartlet but an everyman figure as President.  Our third guest, the Greece-based media scholar Dr. Betty Kaklamanidou, sees not so much distinction as similarity among The West Wing, Madam Secretary, Designated Survivor and Commander in Chief (starring Geena Davis as independent President Mackenzie Allen), whose creator, Rod Lurie, was featured in TPP Season 2, Episode 11, the kick-off to this series.   “It doesn't matter whether they are Independents, Republicans or Democrats,” observes Dr. Kaklamanidou, co-editor of Politics and Politicians in Contemporary US Television. “They are idealists. They want to do the right thing, irrespective of political games.” Is the lofty idealism of West Wing a relic of the past or part of a cycle coming back into play? Dr. Kaklamanidou feels political idealism will always find new forms and variations. But looking back over two decades of polarizing tumult, Paul Redford is not sure a West Wing reboot could sustain a large audience today. Still, he argues that it's not for political leanings but dramatic tension that West Wing has resonated so widely for so long. And he credits the show's creator and principal writer, Aaron Sorkin, for this enduring appeal.   “Honestly, I think it ultimately came from Aaron and his vision for the show, because his constant demand from the other writers was, I need an argument,“ Redford recalls of Sorkin. “[G]ive me a good argument, I can write a scene.“ Tune in for a good argument among three uniquely informed guests on the iconic TV series The West Wing, and other TV Potuses, in: Hollywood Presidents for a Partisan Nation (Part 4): Romance, Grandeur & Smugness on The West Wing.

American Democrats’ Thrill Over Taking Senate Premature Chamber Filibuster Rule Will Make Passing Biden Agenda Difficult February 7, 2021 – American Democrats’ rejoice over a Georgia Senator’s win last month, giving them control of the Senate, is being tempered by a chamber filibuster rule that leaves them ten votes short shy of passing President Biden’s legislative agenda. Veteran Washington Post congressional correspondent Paul Kane explained the rule on the Retail Politics Podcast with Gerry Shields. Under Senate rules, any member can filibuster legislation, which requires 60 members to end debate and vote. Democrats have 50, leaving them significantly shy of pushing their agenda, Kane said. “Legislation is still protected, or hindered depending on where you’re coming from, by this 60-vote hurdle,” Kane said. # # #Listen to the Paul Kane Retail Politics Podcast with Gerry Shields interview on Apple, Spotify, and retailpoliticspodcast.com

Today on The Leaders' Brief - Eleven states have backed the US government's complaint that Alphabet-owned Google has acted unlawfully to maintain its dominance as a search advertising platform on the internet. Google is also undergoing a separate antitrust inquiry by State Attorney Generals into its advertising technology and web search. The company is seeing trouble in Europe and Asia, with the EU investigating its data collection, although Google has coughed up $10 billion in three fines since 2017 US President Donald Trump recently tweeted that he has “officially nominated Poland for entry into the Visa Waiver Program.” While experts opine that the Polish government has in the past and continues to ignore the American Democrats, they believe that the possibility of a Joe Biden victory will not have a substantial effect on American-Polish relationships. Several Arab trade bodies have announced the boycott of French products following President Emmanuel Macron's comment about fighting “Islamic Separatism.” The Dahiyat al-Thuhr association, Qatar-based Wajhah Dairy and Meera Good Company, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have decided to boycott French goods.  About egomonk: Website | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedInegomonk is a global intelligence platform delivering asymmetric outcomes by bringing organizations closer to the communities they want to serve and the leaders they wish to influence.

“Nothing can do men of good will more harm than apparent compromises with parties (political) that subscribe to anti–moral and anti–Democratic and anti-God forces. We must have the courage to detach our support from men (and women) who are doing evil. We must bear them no hatred, but we must break with them.”The straightforward, uncompromising words of former Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, no longer among us. Archbishop Sheen had his own television program some decades ago. It was avidly watched by Catholics and indeed some non–Catholics as well. Sheen was powerful, straightforward, deeply concerned with right and truth and a real champion of the Roman Catholic Church. This powerful institution, not really what it once was, needs more men, more leaders, men and women for that matter to truly champion the truth, the right and all things moral. It, like all religious institutions, needs men and women like Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.Here his profound and straightforward words again:“Nothing can do men (and women) of good will more harm than apparent compromises with parties (political) that subscribe to anti–moral and anti–Democratic and anti–God forces.”Sheen was deeply concerned with compromise. If there is truth, absolute truth, it can NOT be compromised. It is what it is, it speaks for itself, it cannot be interpreted and it must be fully observed and respected. And if, said Archbishop Sheen, there comes a political party which “subscribes” to anti–moral, anti–Democratic and anti–God forces, all Roman Catholics, and in fact all people of faith:         “MUST BREAK WITH THEM.”And there has come that time, that party in our beloved America. It is here, and it is now. They are the progressives, the radicals, the anti–Americans who continue to call themselves:         THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.Former Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Baines Johnson and Jimmy Carter among others would be stunned, shocked and disengaged from the conduct, beliefs, platforms and promises of the current Democrat party. That led one Catholic political pundit to state:          “This (the Democrats) is no longer your daddy's democratic party.”And is that ever an understatement. It is nothing at all, absolutely nothing like the pro American Democrats of old. Anti–Catholicism existed at the very beginning of the immigration of Catholics to America in the early 1800s. There was, to be sure and unfortunately so, considerable bias against them. Not as people are human beings, but because they were Roman Catholic. Prejudice was everywhere. But, through the decades, it ameliorated and although there were always differences between Protestant and Catholic, and of course people of other religions and faiths, and there are today, a gentle tolerance replaced hostility and animosity and those differences were confronted peacefully, with discourse and dialogue, with charitable conduct and not, NOT with hostility or political attacks. And then came Obama in 2008. Barack Hussein Obama and Joe Biden (remember him?) came to power in 2008 following the lazy years of the George W. Bush Administration with influence and control over the House and Senate, Obamacare, THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT was passed and became the law, the medical law of our great country. Many think and many more know that this law as implemented was an absolute disaster and continues to be so. But the law and its nefarious provisions were aggressively implemented by Obama and company and no matter the effect, forced upon all Americans. It was supported by political untruths (if you like your present medical coverage, you can keep it) and implemented by those who were anti–capitalist and most importantly, anti–religion. They cared little or nothing about the First Amendment and the so called first freedom:         FREEDOM OF RELIGION!Obamacare mandated that employers provide contraceptives to their employees as part of medical insurance. Abortive fasciant – contraceptives were required and the right of all employees who wished to take advantage of them, so said Obama and company. The rules for such were developed by the Departments for Health and Human Services, the Labor Department and the Treasury Department. Contraceptives were required free of charge and abortion–causing drugs were fully legal and to be paid for by insurance. Many millions objected but few if any stood up. EXCEPT, of all things Catholic Nuns. These nuns were known as:         THE LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR SAINTS PETER AND PAUL HOMEin Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When Pennsylvania tried to force these sweet little ladies, as Joe Biden calls them, to provide contraceptives and abortive fasciants to their employees, the nuns objected and refused, God bless them. They sued the once great state of Pennsylvania. They got to the Supreme Court, which took their case, the landmark case known as:LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR SAINTS PETER AND PAUL HOME v. PENNSYLVANIAThe fight was on for morality, freedom and all things pro Christian. The plaintiff LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR are a group of Catholic nuns who sacrifice all worldly possessions to care for the sick and elderly. This uncompromising Catholic group, began their fight with the government in 2011 when the Affordable Care Act required employees to cover all FDA approved contraceptives in their PRIVATE health plans. Religious groups like THE LITTLE SISTERS were not exempted even as churches were. The Sisters asked the U.S. Supreme Court to respect their right to moral and religious freedom. Again, the Supreme Court took the case. The case was heard in its own right and also as a result of the Trump Administration putting forth regulations in 2017 and 2018 which expanded EXEMPTIONS for employers with good faith objections, religious and moral based objections, founded upon the First Amendment to furnishing and paying for all such. Ministers had been exempt but not other legitimate organizations which had sincerely held moral or religious objections to the Obamacare abortive fasciant – contraceptive mandate. Now, they were under the new Trump Administration regulations. Both the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey objected and aggressively entered in to the litigation, defending their objections that no such exemption was legal or constitutional.Then came the decision from the nine Supreme Court Justices. Seven Justices, joining in an opinion by Justice Clarence Thomas and others, ruled that the exemptions for religious organizations and for businesses with “SINCERE MORAL” objections were in fact exempted from the mandate and could not be forced to provide the coverage required by the Affordable Care Act. With the liberal–skewing current bent of the Supreme Court, it is indeed amazing or perhaps even divinely inspired that the Court came to this conclusion and with such a large majority. Normally predictable liberal-skewing Justices Kagan and Breyer sided with the five other so called Justices Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch in favor of this exemption for religious organizations and for businesses with “sincere moral objections.” There are two liberal, ultra–liberal Supreme Court Justices who vote virtually 100% of the time for radical liberal results in virtually every case, namely Justices Ginsburg and Sotomayor. They often appear on record as crusaders rather than jurists. They were completely against the opinion, really the opinions of the majority seven. But the LITTLE SISTERS won, a major victory for these sweet little ladies (Biden) who really had more muscle and political clout than old Joe realized. All of us, and all organizations, and all businesses who hold these SINCERE MORAL BELIEFS should be absolutely delighted with the results and we should thank these Catholic Nuns and those who represent them for pursuing this legal victory since 2011 (9 long years), at least for now. If Biden wins the presidency and the Democrats win House and Senate, you can be certain that this exemption will be done away with either by legislation or executive order and back they go, these LITTLE SISTERS to court. The hostility on the part of DEMOCRATS for anything religious, for any beliefs or convictions sincerely and morally held is palpable and will become the full law of the land as the Democrats will. It is hard to believe that any person of faith, especially Catholic, could vote for the Democrats knowing what they stand for and what they feel about and will do to anything RELIGIOUS. These are scary times. If you like we believe in the Constitution and the freedoms of the First Amendment including and especially Freedom of Religion, you should be deeply concerned should the Democrats win. But there is a matter of six weeks to make sure that doesn't happen and to abide by the pungent and poignant words of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen referring to anti–moral and anti–God parties and politicians, like modern day Democrats:         “WE MUST BREAK WITH THEM!”And we must break with these modern–day Democrats if we wish to preserve our First Amendment rights to Freedom of Religion. WE MUST!Today, the Catholics. Tomorrow, Evangelicals, and Jews, and perhaps finally Muslims although they would be last, and then all people of faith. It is the avowed goal of Democrats to excise religion from the public square, out of politics and out of power. It is happening and it will continue to happen, of that you can be sure. So I say to you my fellow Americans, my fellow Christians, and all people of faith, you cannot and you should not vote:         DEMOCRAT.That of course is a blunt, aggressive, highly opinionated point of view but one which I believe to be extremely accurate, based on current fact, and an understanding of what the democratic party platform will yield and what its aggressive, anti–constitutional politicians and leaders will do if in power, and especially FULL POWER. It would be the end, THE END my fellow Americans of the freedoms we have enjoyed for 240 years and so often taken for granted. THE END!So I reiterate the words of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen with which I most fully agree describing without knowing the current Democrat Party 2020:         WE (THE PEOPLE OF FAITH) MUST BREAK WITH THEM!That means don't vote for them. That means keep them out of power and let them do no further harm to our Constitution and our religious way of life. For, under their control and power, those freedoms will be lost, and once lost:         GONE FOREVER!

Conservatives mop up Labour Party opponents in British elections, led by prime minister Boris Johnson, an overwhelming endorsement of Brexit by UK citizens that helped lead to the announced resignation of Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn. What does this mean for American Democrats in 2020? Is Joe Biden right, that the party is in danger of going too far left - like liberals in Britain?

This Friday, the world’s leading economic powers will gather in Osaka, Japan, for the G20 summit, and though it won’t be on the official agenda, the rising tensions between Iran and the United States will loom large over the gathering. Since May, the Islamic Republic has carried out half a dozen acts of sabotage and violence against the U.S. and its allies. What is the story behind Iran’s escalating provocations? Is it looking for war? Is America? Earlier this week, Hudson Institute scholar Michael Doran offered a compelling account of the strategic thinking behind these recent Iranian actions. In “What Iran Is Really Up To,” published in Mosaic, Doran presents compelling evidence that Iran is seeking to sow fear among European governments in the hope that they will pressure the Trump Administration to reinstate two vital waivers that would ensure the continued viability of Iran’s nuclear weapons program. This is part of a long game, writes Doran, to revive the Iran Deal and preserve Iran’s path to a nuclear bomb. In our podcast this week, Michael Doran joins Jonathan Silver to explain his essay and its argument. He discusses why the revoked waivers are so important, why the Iranians believe their strategy will work, and why the biases of European governments and many American Democrats play right into Iranian hands. Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble.

We have been fed lies for more than two years now. Trump colluded with Putin to steal the American election in 2016 from Hillary Clinton. American Democrats, "never Trumpers", resistors, neocons, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CNN, CBS....they've all peddled this lie. Now, they must face a reckoning. I interview Sumantra Maitra, an we discuss the Russia collusion lie and the guilty parties that must now face a reckoning.

In my mind this piece encapsulates Liberal Communists or if you are an American Democrats

As if we needed more evidence that the left have contempt for America, a new poll shows just how much their love for our country depends on if they’re getting their way in the moment.

If you went to college in the United States and took a Western Civ class, you've probably read at least a bit of Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) and Thomas Paine's Rights of Man (1791). The two are so often paired in history and political science classes that they are sometimes published together. No wonder, really, because Paine's Rights of Man was written in response to Burke's Reflections. It's easy to understand why these two book are standard fare in college: arguably, Burke's and Paine's books are the intellectual well-springs of what we call the republican (with a small “r”) “Right” and the “Left.” Much of what American Republicans think can be traced to Burke; much of what American Democrats think can be traced to Paine. For this reason, Burke and Paine are–with the possible exception of J.S. Mill–the most important political thinkers in the modern Western republican tradition. And for all these reasons, Yuval Levin‘s wonderful The Great Debate: Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine, and the Birth of Right and Left (Basic Books, 2013) is very relevant today. Levin masterfully explains not only why Burke and Paine thought what they thought (that is, he provides the historical context for their ideas), but he also makes clear how their ideas matter today.
