The government of Hungary is poking billionaire globalist George Soros and the European Union again. On Tuesday, the government announced on its Facebook page that it is launching a new media campaign with the message that Soros and the EU are in favor of unchecked illegal immigration into the EU states, including Hungary.

Against the backdrop of an image showing a grinning Soros and EU President Jean-Claude Juncker, the post reads: “The government is launching an information mission on the Brussels plan for immigration. Everyone has the right to know the current proposals that are fundamentally endangering Hungary’s safety.” (Facebook translation from the original Hungarian)   Continue reading “Hungary Launches New Ad Campaign Aimed at Soros and EU Immigration Policies”

For decades, voters have been lied to by politicians promising to crack down on immigration. We vote and we vote and we vote, and nothing ever changes. Wage-lowering, culture-destroying policies manage to appear in every bill Congress passes.

We finally got sick of it and voted for Trump. He promised to build a wall, deport illegal aliens and end the anchor baby scam. No matter how much the establishment screamed at him, he never backed down.    Continue reading “Trump’s Failing. Don’t Ask Me To Lie About It”

The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a win Wednesday to a former heroin addict who argued that Indiana’s seizure of his $42,000 Land Rover amounted to an excessive fine for a drug conviction.

In a unanimous holding, the justices for the first time incorporated the 8th Amendment’s protection against excessive fines to the states. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who delivered the court’s opinion, wrote that the safeguard is “fundamental to our scheme of ordered liberty.” Continue reading “Supreme Court says states can’t impose excessive fines”

Legendary cowboy actor and all-American tough guy John Wayne has posthumously infuriated social justice types, after a 1971 interview resurfaced in which the ‘True Grit’ actor criticized racial equality and homosexuality.

Speaking to Playboy magazine almost 50 years ago, Wayne unleashed a series of statements that would have him fired, sued, tarred and feathered if he uttered them in 2019. Wayne referred to “healthy, lusty sex” between a man and a woman as “wonderful,” but called homosexuality “perverted,” dismissing the Oscar-winning ‘Midnight Cowboy’ as “a love story about two f*gs.”   Continue reading “John Wayne posthumously bashed for 1971 ‘white supremacist’, ‘homophobic’ Playboy interview”
