He was trying to note how the Yankees were able to beat teams with good records but didn’t fare well against others with poor records. And then it happened: “The lousy teams are good this year,” Berra said in a true Yogi-ism. RELATED: YANKEES LEGEND YOGI BERRA… View Article

President Trump’s refugee quota: ‘ZERO!’

President Trump’s refugee quota: ‘ZERO!’ ‘It’s time to put Americans first’ by Leo Hohmann Donald Trump has issued very few specifics in how he would deal with the world’s refugee crisis, but on Tuesday his campaign manager offered a bombshell sure to score him points with the GOP’s conservative base. Corey Lewandowski said the United States “should take in zero” Syrian refugees. “This is very simple, the bottom line is we should take in zero,” Lewandowski said when asked by radio host John Fredericks what a President Trump would do about the refugee crisis. “And the United States, to be… View Article

Washington Post: ‘Prejudicial’ to Judge Islam’s 1,200 Year-Old Ideas

Washington Post: ‘Prejudicial’ to Judge Islam’s 1,200 Year-Old Ideas by Neil Munro The Washington Post’s sensitive editorial board writes it is “prejudicial” for a GOP candidate to judge the catastrophic record created by the 1,200-year-old Islamic ideology. The editorial’s headline, “Prejudice is on full display in the GOP presidential race,” was initially aimed at the two leading GOP candidates, outsiders Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson.

Here’s Why the Progressive Left Keeps Sticking Up for Pedophiles

Here’s Why the Progressive Left Keeps Sticking Up for Pedophiles by Milo Yiannopoulos Today, Salon gave a platform to a self-confessed pedophile to explain his urges in sympathetic terms. “I’m a Pedophile, But Not A Monster” reads the headline. It’s a long, self-pitying screed that ends with a call to be “understanding and supportive” of adults who crave sexual intimacy with children. Forgive me if I’m not first to start the standing ovation. In fact I’m pretty sure most people will find the existence on Salon’s website of this post both shocking and distasteful. The timing of Nickerson’s post, barely a week after multiple… View Article
