President-elect Donald Trump, in his first television interview since beating Hillary Clinton in a historic election, apparently no longer thinks Clinton is “crooked.”
After having immortalized the “Crooked Hillary” moniker he used to describe his Democratic opponent over more than a year of campaigning, Trump now says Clinton is a “very strong and very smart” woman. Continue reading “Trump now says ‘Crooked Hillary’ is ‘very strong and very smart’”
It’s only been two days since Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential election, but in that time, his position on numerous policies has changed. During his campaign trail, President-elect Trump promised his supporters that he’d repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (also known as “Obamacare”), as well as withdraw the US’ military support from South Korea.
48 hours after Hillary Clinton conceded the win to Trump, he’s changed his stance on both. The Independent reports that after Donald Trump met with President Barack Obama in the White House and the pair discussed the highlights of the Obama administration – particularly the fact that 20 million Americans have received healthcare with the Affordable Care Act (and 100,000 have signed up for Obamacare in the past 48 hours), Trump had a change of heart.

To William L. Stone, Esq.[1]
Quincy, 29 August, 1832.
Dear Sir:—Long, and, I fear, tedious, as you have found my last letter, I was compelled by a reluctance at making it longer, to compress the observations in it upon the intrinsic nature of the Masonic oaths, obligations, and penalties within a compass insufficient to disclose my opinion, and the reasons upon which it is founded.

The government in India has recently made a move to ban large currency notes, continuing the push towards a cashless society, an effort that the country has been working on for decades. 500 and 1,000 rupee notes were banned throughout the country, which may seem like large currency notes, but they exchange for just a few American dollars, and represent 85% of the cash transactions in the country.
The ban sparked a run on the banks in India this week, with customers forming massive lines at banks attempting to get cash notes out while they still could. Continue reading “Cashless Society: India Bans Currency Notes Sparking Chaos At Banks”

President-elect Donald Trump might not move too quickly to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and rip up the Iran nuclear agreement — two actions he promised during his campaign, a top adviser said.
Trump will instead focus on brokering an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, foreign policy adviser Walid Phares said. Continue reading “Trump adviser: He might rethink Israel, Iran plans”
In a world full of political correctness, safe spaces, participation trophies, and social justice, a whole bunch of Millennials just got a big, painful dose of reality.

SALEM, Ore. — Residents in eastern Oregon and Washington have discussed breaking away from their more liberal neighbors to form a new state for years, but a new twist has been added to the conversation: Why form a new state when the rural counties could just join Idaho instead?
An Oregon representative is expected to pitch the idea to state lawmakers during the current legislative session. Continue reading “Lawmaker to pitch idea to join eastern parts of Oregon, Washington with Idaho”

Reports are that Ammon and Ryan Bundy are still being held in a SEATAC facility near Seattle, Washington more than two weeks after the two brothers were acquitted on all charges in their protest at the Malheur Wildlife Reserve in Oregon back in December 2015-January 2016. The question is, why have they not been moved down to Nevada to face charges there from the 2014 Bundy Ranch Standoff?
Deb Jordan with The Pete Santilli Show posted on November 8 to her Facebook page, “Ammon and Ryan Bundy are still being held in the SEATAC Facility near Seattle in Washington State with phone privilege scarce and little to no contact with their Nevada Attorneys.” Continue reading “Why are Ammon & Ryan Bundy Being Continually Held in Seattle More Than 2 Weeks After Their Acquittal?”

During the third presidential debate back on October 19, then GOP candidate Donald Trump refused to say that he would honor the results of the Nov. 8 election if he were to be unsuccessful in gaining 270 electoral votes. “I will look at it at the time…. I’ll keep you in suspense,” Trump told moderator Chris Wallace.
