On Wednesday morning, Rep. Steve Scalise and two Capitol Police were shot as members of Congress gathered to practice for a charity baseball game. The shooter was soon identified as James T. Hodgkinson, a Bernie Sanders supporter and outspoken critic of President Donald Trump. Then, moments later, a U.S. Senator revealed who was on the baseball field the entire time as shots rang out and chaos erupted.

Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) was at practice on Wednesday morning when Scalise was seriously injured, and he had brought his 10-year-old son with him to help the team fetch balls. The young boy witnessed the horrifying ordeal unfold as his father’s colleague was shot in the hip and subsequently tried to drag himself off the field to safety.
It was Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) who very well might have saved the 10-year-old’s life. According to The Gateway Pundit, Flake was not only a witness to the shooting on Wednesday morning but turned out to be a hero as well. He quickly grabbed Barton’s son and hid him under the dugout bench to protect him from gunfire.

“I poked my head up at one point and saw the shooter behind the backstop behind the fence–he still had a line of shot, a line of fire into the dugout,” recounted Sen. Flake. “He was firing around but he still could have fired into the dugout. That’s why I kept everybody down.” The heroic Senator added, “Joe Barton’s boy was here, a 10-year-old just shagging balls and we got him into the dugout and stuffed him under the bench.”
It’s going to be really difficult for the mainstream media to spin this one. The shooter was a Trump-hating leftist who broke existing gun laws in order to obtain an AR-15, and, without regard for the life of an innocent young boy, began firing at Republican lawmakers who had spent their morning preparing for a charity event.

The press is definitely ringing their hands right about now over the fact that Hodgkinson wasn’t a right-wing gun nut who they could use to paint Republicans as the party of hate and lobby for further gun control.

I thought liberals were supposed to be all about “acceptance” and “tolerance”? Well, Hodgkinson was apparently so tolerant of other viewpoints that he would kill politicians who don’t happen to agree with him, even risking the lives of their children without remorse.

Although the left has been using the recent shooting in Virginia as an attempt to take away even more rights from the American people, it’s clear that not everyone shares their sentiments. In fact, liberals and their lapdog, leftist media have been working hard to hide what President Donald Trump did just moments after the shooting – but the secret was just blown wide open.

As most of the world is aware, Republicans were practicing for an upcoming charity baseball game in Alexandria, Virginia, when gunshots rang out. When the dust had settled, the shooter, James T. Hodgkinson III, had shot and injured 5 people including Rep. Steve Scalise before he was killed by Capitol Police.

Since then, the left has been responsible for an inappropriate and unacceptable amount of vitriol, not only expressing their belief that Republicans “got what they deserved” but that “Trump should have been shot” as well. Along with that, Democrats are trying to use the tragedy to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights.

As one would imagine, leftist propaganda networks like CNN and MSNBC have been working tirelessly to spin the events in a way that can benefit their liberal agenda. Making matters worse, they’re also making sure to ignore aspects of the story that aren’t convenient or will implode their narrative entirely.

In fact, one such instance has just come to light which involved none other than President Trump himself. As it turns out, the president made sure to do one thing after the shooting – and the leftist mainstream media does not want you to know about it.
According to The Daily Caller, the secret is now out that “Donald and Melania Trump made an unannounced visit to the Washington hospital where Rep. Steve Scalise is being treated Wednesday night after he was gunned down during a congressional baseball practice earlier that day.” Now, we all know that networks like CNN and MSNBC want to demonize Trump at every turn, but the president is surely giving them a run for their money on this one.

The pool report indicates that the president and first lady were spotted with bouquets of flowers at the MedStar Washington Hospital Center. In all, they spent about half an hour speaking to the victims and even stopped by to thank the Capitol Police who were injured as well. Their departure from the hospital was captured on video and later shared by Red State Watcher.

When it comes down to it, this instance is a disaster for the left no matter how hard they try to spin it. Not only did good guys with guns take out a liberal terrorist, but Trump is going above and beyond the duties of his office in a way that wouldn’t have been seen during former President Barack Obama’s tenure.

It’s a tradition for the first family to bring a new dog into the White House which is different with each president. The Obamas had a pair of black Portuguese water dogs, Bo and Sunny, one of which infamously swatted at Sasha and Malia Obama’s teen friend. The girl was left with a bloody gash at one of her final visits to her friends in the White House before they moved out. While that unfortunate and shocking event was overlooked or even excused by liberals, they’ve saved their energy to freak out over what Barron just brought into his new D.C. home as the first family pet.

It’s been since the Kennedys were in the White House that a first son has lived there, since other president’s sons were old enough to be out of the house and there was a series of just daughters among recent Commanders-in-Chiefs. With this new history-making event comes new traditions built on existing ones, considering boys often like different kinds of pets than girls, and Barron is no exception.

The first son has already made himself at home since officially moving into the White House over this past weekend. One of the first and perhaps most exciting parts of living in this special new place is that he gets to have a pet and is a major part of picking it.

The Trumps didn’t have a pet in their New York City home at Trump Towers, so moving to 1500 Pennsylvania Ave is monumental for Barron in a number of ways – including getting a dog should the family agree on this new addition. Every single president over the past 150 years has adopted a White House dog but the Trumps have yet to do so. Instead, they are doing things their own incredible way that works best for them which is really respectable, unless you’re a liberal with something negative to say about it.

“The Trump family, as far as is publicly known, does not own any animals. Unless something changes, that means that Donald Trump could become the first president in 150 years who does not have a pet,” the Washington Post reports. However, Lois Pope says she holds the pet that will soon be Barron’s sidekick after what happened at the Trump’s recent Thanksgiving event held at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago.

In the current year, there’s really no reason, other than the weather, for anyone to want to live in the failed state of California.

The state might as well be called Neo-Mexico, considering the fact the overwhelming majority of the population is from there.

The sad thing is, the invasion and Mexican reclamation of California has been made possible by left-wing politicians, all because they see it as a strategy to secure votes fro themselves.

And since Trump became president, lawmakers from the state have only become emboldened in the pursuit of their treasonous policies.

However, Trump is using the power of the federal government to turn the screw on the nation’s most disgraceful state, by making it more difficult for them to protect illegals.
As reported at Right Wing News, buried deep within Trump’s budget proposal, you’ll find strategic cuts targeting government subsidies to states that house prisoners who are not in the US legally.

For California, this is a huge loss, considering the large proportion of illegals that are inmates.
Cutting this program was tried unsuccessfully over 20 years ago, and even then, California’s governor at the time, Pete Wilson, whined about how unfair it was.

“The intent of federal law is unequivocal. The federal government must either reimburse the state at a fair rate for the incarceration of any undocumented inmate which it identifies or… take the burden of incarceration off the state’s hands,” Wilson said.

Boo hoo. How bout you leftists stop encouraging them to infiltrate the country in the first place.

Cutting this single program will save $210 million, and even better, make it more difficult for states to continue housing illegals, which will force them to hand them over to the feds for deportation.

California’s state government received $44.1 million in the 2015 federal budget year, according to Justice Department data.
Add to that another $12.8 million that was paid directly to California counties, with the largest local subsidy being the $3 million paid to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which is known for its protection of illegals.

Over a third of the entire program’s budget went to California, with no other state coming anywhere close to that.

Essentially, California’s obsession with left-wing ideology is costing taxpayers a ton, and not only that, it’s providing a sanctuary and gateway to invaders that hurt the US in many other ways.

Cutting this program is a giant middle finger to the state, and it should only be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Trump’s reprimands of the California circus.

Over the past year, the Left has been pushing the “fake news” meme as a means to discredit news stories that don’t align with the liberal narrative.

This has, in turn, initiated an ideological information war, with the both sides of the political spectrum fighting to gain the trust of the public.

But the Left’s near complete control of all things media has made it very difficult for conservatives to combat the claims that their news is “fake.”

However, the way to beat the Left at their own game is to fight fire with fire by pointing out their rank hypocrisy and lies.

As reported at the American Lookout, despite claiming that fake news is threatening democracy, one CNN reporter recently changed his tune about its existence after Trump called them out for their propaganda.
On Tuesday, Trump tweeted, “Fake News is at an all time high. Where is their apology to me for all of the incorrect stories???“

Resident CNN clown, Chris Cillizza, responded, “Name a story that is “fake” or “incorrect.”
“You can’t just make a blanket assertion without ANY specifics.”

Well, Chris, how about these few examples:

1. Comey wasn’t granted more resources for investigation (he never asked for them)

2. Trump is going to live tweet during Comey hearing (he didn’t)

3. Trump pulled the MLK bust out of White House (he didn’t)

4. Trump dossier is true (it was a fabrication)
5. Flynn is spilling the beans on Trump (patently false)

And these are just the tip of the iceberg.

The liberal media has been assaulting Trump with fake news stories daily, trying to turn the public against him.

After all his hand-wringing about conservative propaganda and fake news, Cillizza, one of the many purveyors of the Left’s lies, has the audacity to suddenly pretend this phenomenon doesn’t even exist.

How convenient.

So it appears that fake news is a problem until the president punches back against the slanderous lies being written about him.

Then, it’s just Trump being insecure and unable to take media criticism. They can’t have it both ways.

But that’s exactly how the Left always tries to have it.

This fake news nonsense is out of control, as is the liberal media’s betrayal of America.

Unless you’re a dishonest, partisan hack, it’s obvious that on many occasions, Obama violated the Constitution.
Whether it was his executive actions and his opening up our border for invasion, or his use of federal agencies to target conservatives, the man sullied our nation’s founding document.

The man, and the Left as a whole, think they’re above the rule of law, and with their near complete control of the court system in the US, it allows them to break it with impunity and manufacture oppressive laws of their own.

But thanks to Trump’s election, the highest court in the land is still in the hands of conservatives, and that court has issued a repudiation of the lawlessness of the Obama administration.

As reported at Swamp Drain, the Supreme Court has ruled that Lafe Solomon, an Obama appointee, illegally served as the acting general counsel for the National Labor Relations Board for three years.The Senate refused Solomon’s nomination back in 2011, so Obama instead circumvented Congress, giving him the title “acting” general counsel.

According to Chief Justice John Roberts, Obama did an “end-run around” the Constitution in the process by giving him a title change.

In a 6-2 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that President Obama violated the Constitution when Solomon maintained an acting agency appointment after the Senate refused to confirm him.

Solomon, who already violated the agency’s ethics rules in the past, was supposed to vacate the position in accordance with the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 (FVRA) once the Senate refused to take up his nomination to serve as Obama’s permanent general counsel.

“We cannot cast aside the separation of powers and the Appointments Clause’s important check on executive power for the sake of administrative convenience or efficiency,” the majority ruled.

David Phippen, a management-side labor attorney, said the decision clarifies the meaning of the FVRA.

“The decision … appears to make it somewhat more difficult for Presidents to put ‘her or his people’ into important agency positions unilaterally, i.e., without approval of the Senate.”Which is a good thing, as it prevents presidents from handing these positions over to their lackeys and donors.

Five years previously, the Supreme Court ruled that Obama violated the Constitution for almost the same reason, which was his recess-appointment of 2 leftist attorneys as NLRB board members while the Senate was still in session.

So in Solomon’s case, he just decided to cut Congress out altogether, which was still a violation of the Constitution.

There are plenty of examples where Obama clearly violated the Constitution, but was never officially called on it like in these examples.

But what was ever done about it? Nothing so far. Not a slap on the wrist, not repudiation by the media, no public outrage, nothing.

The man trampled on our nation’s laws and has been allowed to get away with it.

It’s disgraceful and un-American how our nation’s leader treated our founding document like trash.

The damage he’s done is catastrophic, so much so, that it will be a miracle if Trump is able to clean up the mess.

Cable network CMT is reportedly exploring a revival of Tim Allen-starring sitcom Last Man Standing one month after the highly-rated show was cancelled by ABC.

The network is in preliminary discussions with 20th Century Fox TV, the studio behind Last Man Standing, for a possible seventh season, though insiders told the Hollywood Reporter that a deal could be difficult to reach due to the veteran show’s hefty price tag.

ABC cancelled Last Man Standing in May despite the show drawing an average of more than eight million viewers across its sixth season, good enough to make it the network’s second-highest-rated comedy and an impressive feat for a long-running sitcom airing on usually weak Friday nights. The network moved its fantasy series Once Upon a Time and its new Marvel series Inhumans to Friday night this fall instead.

ABC entertainment chief Channing Dungey said last month that the network cancelled the show for business and scheduling reasons, and added that it wanted to turn Friday nights into a destination for sc-fi and fantasy. But fans were quick to accuse the Disney-owned network of cancelling the series for political reasons; the show — which starred Allen as sporting-goods store marketing director Mike Baxter and followed his career and family life with his wife and three daughters — was one of the few conservative-leaning series on television, and Allen is himself politically conservative.
In March, Allen told late-night host Jimmy Kimmel that conservatives in Hollywood need to be “careful” when talking about President Donald Trump, or else risk backlash; the actor attended Trump’s inauguration in January.

A Change.org petition launched shortly after the cancellation had collected 397,000 signatures in one month.

“Last Man Standing stands out in the sea of network television sitcoms. It is a show that appeals to a broad swath of Americans who find very few shows that extol the virtues with which they can identify; namely conservative values,” the petition read. Some social media users also called for viewers to boycott ABC until the show was renewed.

CMT already airs re-runs of Last Man Standing, so it could be a natural fit; the cable network already previously revived one cancelled ABC show, the country music drama Nashville, though a partnership with Hulu. According to Deadline, the studio could move to pick up the options on the actors’ contracts, which reportedly expire in two weeks. Still, the outlet reports the deal is considered a “long shot.”

In the wake of the disgusting attack on Republican Congressmen, perpetrated by a hateful and deranged liberal, it is important to note that the left has been spewing violent rhetoric against conservatives at an alarming rate.

Liberal celebrities, from washed up “comedian” Kathy Griffin, senile Robert De Niro, loopy Mickey Rourke, several outdated rappers, and a host of other D-List losers have recently voiced their desire to harm President Trump and his supporters.

Many of these celebrities have attempted to rejuvenate their stagnant careers by constantly harassing President Trump and his family, while seemingly competing to outdo each other in their indecency and hate.

At what point do these people take responsibility for tragic events like the intentional targeting and shooting of Republicans?

With a large platform, these celebrities have encouraged violence, and have sowed the seeds of hate among many people.

Now, their efforts to spur violent action against conservatives is coming to fruition.

These celebrity instigators have blood on their hands.

After 8 years of seeing our governmental agencies used as a weapon on behalf of the Left, they’re finally under the control of people with actual integrity.
The IRS deliberately targeted conservative groups at the behest of Obama, but now the agency has the Clinton’s in its sights.

The Clinton family mafia is now under fire for their connection to a for-profit university, something that leftists are constantly moaning about.

This is all part of the investigation into the long-time allegations that the Clinton Foundation is nothing more than a pay-to-play enterprise.

As reported at Read Conservative, Laureate International Universities, the world’s largest for-profit college conglomerate with several ties to the Clinton Foundation, named Bill Clinton its “honorary chancellor” and paid him nearly $18 million while its affiliated nonprofit received millions in grants from Hillary Clinton’s State Department.Bill was placed on Laureate’s payroll in 2010–and over the next 5 years, was paid $17.6 million, according to the Washington Post.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “made Laureate part of her State Department Global Partnership,” reported ‘Clinton Cash‘ author and Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer.

To make the scheme even more obvious, the State Department then funneled tens of millions in funds to the International Youth Foundation, which is a nonprofit that’s chaired by Laureate founder and CEO Douglas Becker.

This is yet another example of Hillary using her position at State and her foundation to enrich her family and shell out taxpayer money as a thank you.

According to an analysis by Bloomberg: “In 2009, the year before Bill Clinton joined Laureate, the nonprofit received 11 grants worth $9 million from the State Department or the affiliated USAID.”

“In 2010, the group received 14 grants worth $15.1 million. In 2011, 13 grants added up to $14.6 million. The following year, those numbers jumped: IYF received 21 grants worth $25.5 million, including a direct grant from the State Department.”

The Clinton’s abuse is staggering.Hillary used her position to send our money to her cronies, and in return, her family received millions.

It’s enraging that such clear-cut evidence exists of their crimes, yet they’re still living lavishly and galavanting the world while daring to criticize Trump for made up controversies.

They’re laughing at us all in private, thinking we’re all so stupid and that they’ll never get punished for their abuse.

And so far, they’ve been correct in their assessment.

Tensions in North Korea continue to ramp up after the rogue nation tested their long range artillery and a new spy vehicle.

South Korean officials have confirmed that they recovered a North Korean drone that was deployed to spy on the American-built Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THADD) System in South Korea (via CNN).
The drone was recovered by South Korea after the unmanned vehicle ran out of gas and crashed. The drone had a SONY digital camera attacked.

The SONY camera contained hundreds of photos from South Korea, including at least ten aerial pictures of the THADD system. Some of the pictures were taken barely a mile from the ground.
The THADD system is currently deployed along the border of South Korea to defend against a potential ballistic missile strike from North Korea.

America is financing the defense system in the hopes of protecting our ally from the neighboring rogue state. North Korea is exceptionally dangerous, despite barely being able to launch a drone.

North Korea is like a toddler with a rifle. A backward and starving nation, North Korea poses little threat beside their ballistic missile arsenal which, increasingly, is becoming capable of facilitating nuclear weapons.

THADD is still currently deployed on a small golf course on the coast of South Korea. Completion of the installation of the system is scheduled to be completed soon.

Kim Jong-un is not the most efficient or capable leader, however, his country possesses technology that would be devastating in even the least experienced hands. The problem is that North Korea was allowed to pursue nuclear weapons unchecked for too long.

President Trump has referred to North Korea as the largest security threat facing our great nation. The longer the despotic government is in power, the closer the rogue nation comes to reaching our continent with long-range ballistic missiles.

However, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson achieved a major American victory against North Korea recently when the communist nation agreed to release Otto Warmbier, one of their four American political prisoners.

Back in July 2015, devout Muslim Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez carried out an act of terrorism shooting up two military recruiting offices in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that left four of our U.S. Marines and one Sailor dead. His motives for the mass shooting were crystal clear, as he kept an online blog about his thoughts on Islam and was radicalized in the Middle East months leading up to the terror attack. Now bombshell information is surfacing about the sickening thing that Barack Obama and FBI director James Comey did to cover up the act of terror, in a sick act of collusion that will make you absolutely furious.
Leading up to the incident, Abdulazeez traveled to the Middle East and lived in Jordan for 7 months where it’s believed that he became radicalized and began formulating his plan to assassinate off members of our military. Following the attack, U.S. authorities immediately began to look into Abdulazeez’s travels to the Middle East, and also began investigating the Muslim killer’s online blog, where just two days before the mass shooting, he made a post sharing his radical thoughts about Islam.

Freedom Daily has more:

The day after the shooting, Obama’s FBI Director James Comey was placed in charge of the case, where he was supposed to get to the bottom of the shooter’s motive. But in the next 5 months of Comey’s investigation, not only would he never get to the bottom of the motive of the shooter, but Abdulazeez’s online blog within that time would mysteriously be removed from the internet. In December, Comey they publicly stated that he and the FBI “still had no idea” what motivated Abdulazeez to kill our service men, thoroughly white-washing the case of all mention of Islam for Obama; the collusion that Obama no doubt wanted.

WSMV reported:

The public may never know what motivated a 24-year-old Chattanooga man to kill four Marines and a sailor in an attack on Chattanooga’s U.S. Naval and Marine Reserve Center last July.

Investigators have said Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez was a homegrown violent extremist but have not offered more details about what motivated the attack that began at a military recruiting center and ended when Abdulazeez was shot to death by police who followed him to the reserve center.

“We’re still trying to make sure we understand Abdulazeez, his motivations and associations, in a really good way,” FBI Director James Comey told reporters during a visit to Nashville’s FBI field office on Friday.

Comey said he understands the public interest in the shooting, but he did not know whether there would ever be a public report on it.

It has been established in an earlier post that Muslim’s were found to have a 30-year plan to take over the U.S. from the inside. It all started with a raid in Annandale, Virginia where feds discovered mountains of evidence of a twisted plot for Muslims to take control. Up until the raid, things seemed to be working out for them as more Muslims had come to the country denouncing Sharia Law. Now we know it is just a tactic known as “Muruna” where Muslims are able to violate Sharia Law in order to convince Americans that they are just like us. In addition to “Muruna”, their plans also included using political correctness to bully their way into positions of power across the country. You can thank the left for that!

Now that they have succeeded in these areas, they are on to the next phase, they have now taken over an entire U.S. town and are ramming Sharia down the throats of Americans. What’s worse is we can’t do anything about it. Well, there is one way, but that time is coming if this keeps up.

According to Freedom Daily:

After years and years of fighting, 39 public hearings, and even the involvement of the Department of Justice, Bernards Township in New Jersey has just lost their long fight with Muslims trying to overtake their town with the construction of a mega-mosque that was against city codes. So predictably, Muslims decided to fight it out in court through their local Islamic Society, while screaming they were discriminated against.

Disturbingly, not only did the Muslims win in court with suing the small town, but now Bernards Township will be forced to pay out a startling $1.5 million in damages to the Islamic Society and $1.75 million in attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses which will now conveniently cover the entire cost to build New Jersey Muslims’ mega-mosque, which will span over almost 4.1 acres of property.

Conservative Daily Post Reported:

“A New Jersey township that stopped an Islamic society from building a mosque will pay the group $3.25 million, ending a multi-year battle that spanned 39 public hearings and included allegations of anti-Muslim animus.

There’s nothing Michelle Obama loved more from her time as First Lady than getting to rub elbows with Hollywood A-listers. She proved that this is still her main priority on Tuesday night when she dropped everything to make a surprise appearance at the liberal-leaning Women in Film awards ceremony.

The Washington Times reported that both Michelle and Hillary Clinton made surprise appearances at the event, where they were instantly worshipped by out-of-touch Hollywood elitists. Michelle took the stage to introduce Lucy Award winner Tracee Ellis Ross, a sitcom star who is the daughter of Diana Ross. Michelle made it clear that she was trying to kiss up to the A-list family with her over-the-top speech about the actress.
“Your character on ‘Black-ish,’ Bow, is an inspiration for folks all across this country,” Michelle said, ignoring the fact that the majority of Americans are far more inspired by members of the military rather than sitcom characters.

Clinton unsurprisingly took a veiled shot at President Donald Trump, implying that he is a “disaster” when she said she hasn’t seen the new feminist movie “Wonder Woman.”

“Something tells me that a movie about a strong powerful woman fighting to save the world from a massive international disaster is right up my alley,” Clinton said.

The fact that Michelle and Clinton spent last night hobnobbing with the rich and famous reminds its once again of why millions of Americans are glad they are out of power.
