Hillary Clinton Plans Executive Action to Exceed Obama on Gun Control

by AWR Hawkins Even before Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee on Tuesday, Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was looking toward the general election and planning to use executive action “go further than Obama” on gun control. In fact, implementing more gun control is “at the top of her to-do list.” The Washington Post sums up the generalities of this gun control focus by reporting that Clinton wants to “to broaden requirements for background checks and narrow loopholes that allow largely unrestricted trafficking of guns online.” On January 5 Breitbart News reported Obama’s use of executive gun control to… View Article

Against ‘essential principles’: Hollande says France rejects TTIP

For now, France is saying “No” to the all-encompassing TTIP trade deal with Europe, as it goes against its “essential principles,” President Hollande has said. The French trade minister has also criticized Washington’s reluctance to budge on many points. “We will never accept questioning essential principles for our agriculture, our culture and for the reciprocity of access to public [procurement] markets,” Francois Hollande said at a meeting of left-wing politicians in Paris, according to AFP. “At this stage [of talks] France says ‘No.’” Speaking the day after negotiation papers were leaked by Greenpeace, France’s trade minister, Matthias Fekl, called...

Putin signs bill to oust MPs for missing parliamentary sessions

The Russian president has signed into law a bill that allows the Lower House to oust its members for systematically failing to appear at the sessions or committee meetings. The exact formula used in the act reads that from now on State Duma deputies can lose their positions for at least 30 days of leave without a valid excuse, both from State Duma sessions and from the gatherings of parliamentary committees which the lawmakers are members of. The list of legitimate reasons for failing to attend includes standard ones such as holiday, illness or death of relatives, and more...

Bill Clinton visits Louisville, ‘literally serves fried chicken to black people’

As the first black president, Bill Clinton knows *every* black person likes fried chicken. Why else, during a visit to Louisville, Kentucky, would he make an unannounced stop at Franco’s Home Cooking, and get behind the counter to serve food. But it wasn’t just any food, and it wasn’t just any crowd. As Saturday Morning Solutions, a weekly black radio show, reported, “Bill Clinton came to the hood in Louisville and LITERALLY served fried chicken to Black people.” Bill Clinton came to the hood in Louisville and LITERALLY served fried chicken to Black people pic.twitter.com/6DoJVAPSB7 — Sat.

CIA Analyst Drops Bombshell Revelation About Clinton Responsibility for Benghazi

Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has been under fire for both her use of a private server to host confidential emails and her corrupt behavior surrounding the Benghazi terrorist attack in 2012. These scandals have been kept separate, for the most part, among critics, but one major CIA analyst recently revealed how the two could very likely be related. Ray McGovern has pointed out that the former secretary of state’s private, unsecure server could have been hacked into by our enemies, tipping them off about Ambassador Stevens’ lack of security at the Libya consulate and leading to the infamous attack that killed four Americans. “If there...

Commander of USS Cole May Be Fired After What He Just Said About Obama and Al Qaeda

By: Wilmot Proviso President Barack Obama’s Guantanamo Bay clearance sale has been a national disgrace. Everything must go, according to the president — no matter what crime the terrorist being detained there was accused of committing. Kirk Lippold knows the pain more than most. A retired commander in the U.S. Navy, he was the man in charge of the U.S.S. Cole when it was bombed on Oct. 12, 2000. Seventeen of the men in his charge were lost in the Al Qaeda-linked attack. Mashur Abdallah Ahmed al Sabri was one of the men authorities believe helped commit the sick attack. He...

After Trump Win, Huckabee Announces His Future With GOP: “I Will Be…”

By: V Saxena The morning after Sen. Ted Cruz suspended his campaign for president, thus making GOP front-runner Donald Trump the presumptive nominee, former candidate Mike Huckabee dropped a post on his website regarding his future with both the Republican Party and its likely nominee. “I will be all in to help him defeat Hillary Clinton and I call upon all fellow Republicans to unite in defeating Hillary and abandoning and repudiating the hapless ‘Never Trump‘ nonsense,” the former Arkansas governor wrote.

The 5 Stages of Political Death by Donald Trump

by Matthew Palumbo The phenomenon that is Donald Trump and the Trump candidacy is historic. It has created an election and an atmosphere that we could go another century without seeing again. Given that Donald Trump is the Haley’s Comet of American politics, no political science playbook or textbook or game plan exists on how to handle this phenomenon. From day 1, Donald Trump has baffled pundits, experts, strategists, analysts; and just about everyone else paying attention. The efficacy of the Trump campaign to this point is attributable to Mr. Trump’s unpredictability and unconventionality. They call the study of politics… View Article

Remember That “Taxation Without Representation” Thing? It’s Happening Again

By Nick Bernabe Everybody remembers learning about one of the central rallying cries of the American Revolution: “No taxation without representation!” Yes, the settlers in early America thought the idea of being forced to pay taxes without having a say in the decision-making of their overlords was very problematic. In particular, the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back was a small tax on tea imports on the colonies, who did not have representation in the British parliament; this led to the infamous Boston Tea Party. Seems pretty minuscule compared to today’s 74,608-page tax code, right? Fortunately for modern-day...

Brussels to fine countries €250,000 for EVERY REFUGEE refused entry

BRUSSELS is set to slap EU states with eye-watering fines of €250,000 for every refugee they refuse – twisting states’ arms into accepting controversial migrant quotas. By Joey Millar The financial penalty, which would see countries who wish to retain control of their own borders fined hundreds of millions of euros, is expected to be unveiled tomorrow. With countries including Hungary refusing to accept quotas of migrants issued by the European Union, the huge financial threat has been introduced to prevent states from choosing who to accept in their countries. The deliberately high fine of €250,000 per asylum seeker...
