A former Democratic National Committee chairman says President Barack Obama and the party’s congressional leaders should immediately come up with a process to identify a potential successor candidate for Hillary Clinton for the off-chance a health emergency forces her out of the race.

“Now is the time for all good political leaders to come to the aid of their party,” said Don Fowler, who helmed the DNC from 1995 to 1997, during Bill Clinton’s presidency, and has backed Hillary Clinton since her 2008 presidential bid. “I think the plan should be developed by 6 o’clock this afternoon.”   Continue reading “Former DNC chairman calls for Clinton contingency plan”

“Decius,” lead author of the Journal of American Greatness, retired from the field of valor when the JAG website mysteriously shut down a few months ago. Since then, fans created an homage webzine, titled American Greatness, featured mostly standard mainstream conservative commentary—until it published the triumphant return of Decius himself: a long tour de force entitled The Flight 93 Election. It may simply be the best article written on this election to date, and is certainly the most humiliating indictment of Conservatism Inc.:   Continue reading “AMERICAN GREATNESS’s Decius To #NeverTrumpers: 2016 Is The Flight 93 Election”

Emphasizing diversity has been the pitfall, not the strength, of nations throughout history.

The Roman Empire worked as long as Iberians, Greeks, Jews, Gauls and myriad other African, Asian and European communities spoke Latin, cherished habeas corpus and saw being Roman as preferable to identifying with their own particular tribe. By the fifth century, diversity had won out but would soon prove a fatal liability.   Continue reading “Diversity: History’s Pathway to Chaos”

The spirit of Robin Hood is alive and well in the United States, and some US politicians aren’t happy about it.

Invoking the name of the famous fictional (and possibly real) hero of medieval England, these contemporary rebels have, for a decade, set about righting wrongs not with arrows, but with coins.

Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday rejected legislation to increase the sales of smart guns, saying the measure would make the state “inhospitable” to legal gun ownership.

Christie, a Republican, conditionally vetoed the measure that would have required state gun retailers to keep an inventory of smart guns, which can be fired only by authorized users. He sharply criticized the Democrat-led Legislature, which sent him the bill for the second time this year in June. He had previously pocket-vetoed the measure.   Continue reading “New Jersey governor vetoes bill requiring smart guns be sold”

Congress passes the Communist Control Act in response to the growing anticommunist hysteria in the United States. Though full of ominous language, many found the purpose of the act unclear.

In 1954, the Red Scare still raged in the United States. Although Senator Joseph McCarthy, the most famous of the “red hunters” in America, had been disgraced earlier in the summer of 1954 when he tried to prove that communists were in the U.S. Army, most Americans still believed that communists were at work in their country.

Donald Trump may or may not fix his campaign, and Hillary Clinton may or may not become the first female president. But something else happening before our eyes is almost as important: the complete collapse of American journalism as we know it.

The frenzy to bury Trump is not limited to the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House. They are working hand in hand with what was considered the cream of the nation’s news organizations.   Continue reading “American journalism is collapsing before our eyes”

The Justice Department plans to end its use of private prisons after officials concluded the facilities are both less safe and less effective at providing correctional services than those run by the government.

Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates announced the decision on Thursday in a memo that instructs officials to either decline to renew the contracts for private prison operators when they expire or “substantially reduce” the contracts’ scope. The goal, Yates wrote, is “reducing — and ultimately ending — our use of privately operated prisons.”   Continue reading “Justice Department says it will end use of private prisons”

A preacher was making his rounds on a bicycle when he came upon a little boy trying to sell a lawn mower. “How much do you want for the mower?” asked the preacher.

“I just want enough money to go out and buy me a bicycle” said the little boy.

After a moment of consideration, the preacher asked “Will you take my bike in trade for it?” The little boy asked if he could try it out first, and, after riding the bike around a little while, said “Mister, you’ve got yourself a deal”.   Continue reading “Just keep working at it Preacher…”
