2016 just keeps getting weirder. After Donald Trump caved on gun rights and indicated support for restricting ownership base on the federal government’s various terror watch lists, the NRA has also seemingly given in on the right to due process. That alone is enough to make the situation bizarre, but the fact that the American Civil…

Donald Trump has flipped on gun control and is now parroting a liberal policy point that jeopardizes all of our rights.

A video making its rounds on the internet shows Hillary Clinton spouting off some Trump-like rhetoric about immigration. The video is older; judging from Clinton’s haircut, it was probably during her time serving as a Senator from New York or perhaps shortly before she ran. In the video Clinton sharply decries illegal immigration, calls for…
Donald Trump admits he was for the Libyan intervention just like Hillary Clinton by Joey Clark Donald Trump is a “riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma” which is a nice way of saying he’s honestly full of horse dung. Yet, it seems a large segment of the American people is quite ready to…
