If you're going to harass Ivanka Trump, her husband and children to the point where you get kicked off the flight, it's probably best not to brag about it on Twitter. Because when you do, everyone knows who you are. "Your father is ruining the country. They ruin the country now they ruin our flight!" said Dan Goldstein to Ivanka, on a Jet Blue flight. Both the gay couple and the Kushner-Trumps had their children with them. Lasner also suggested Ivanka and her family should be on a private...
Kanye West and Donald Trump discussed more than just "life" Tuesday morning. After their meeting at Trump Tower in New York City, Donald Trump nominated Rapper Kanye West to be the nation's 23rd Under-Secretary of the Interior. No one we spoke to is entirely sure what Secretary of the Interior actually does. So the fact that West is a musician who dropped out of Chicago State University to pursue music, is no barrier. "West knows many of the players in Hollywood, where he does massive deals,"...
The outgoing president will sign an executive order reversing President Richard Nixon's 1970 order, listing Marijuana as a Schedule One Drug, forbidden at all times. This is said to have been a jab at 1960's "Hippy Culture." President Barack Obama, who wrote of experimenting with marijuana as a young man, will legalize marijuana on his way out of office. He will make pot a Class II drug, legal under Federal law with a doctors prescription. States will be able to continue to outlaw marijuana, if...
California has the toughest building and safety codes in the world. Why didn't authorities enforce them against the Ghost Ship's operators? This is the obvious question from the Oakland fire which has killed at least 36 people. The Washington Post has finally explained why: They didn't want to be seen as politically incorrect, forcing their way into an LGBTQ "safe space." The deaths struck at the heart of a flourishing community of artists united by the Bay Area's underground electronic music...
Engel & Volkers rents a storefront office on Montana Avenue (as if you might drop in and buy a $4 million house in 90402, then proceed a few doors down to Starbucks). I guess it paid off for them. They just announced the highest sale of the year, and the third highest residential sale in Santa Monica history. "We respect our clients confidentiality, but I can say that the buyer is an avid golfer, loved the architecture, view and of course La Mesa is an iconic street," said Sandra Cook, Engel &...
Jill Stein received just under 1% of the national vote, and demanded recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio. Hillary Clinton's Presidential Campaign filed joinders to Stein's effort, and by some accounts, directed donations to her political action committee. But why? Recounts historically have never changed the outcome of a State's presidential election outcome. They are costly and tedious, as they must be observed by campaign representatives. One theory is that Stein is simply hoping to...
The Washington Post was singularly anti Trump throughout the campaign. Examining the factors behind Trump's victory has lead them to the conclusion that the Russians were to blame. There is no little irony in this conclusion, since Reagan's Republican party thrived on confrontation with the old Soviet Union. Some on the right view Trump has the successor to Reagan, an outsider who wants to tackle old problems with new solutions. In fairness, the Russians did hack the DNC and supported Wikileaks....
The left has been railing against the election of Donald Trump for two weeks now. They have called for passive resistance and not so passive resistance. But seriously, you can't make this stuff up. The man who is famous for being married to Kim Kardashian, the woman who is famous for being famous; Kanye West was under observation at a Los Angeles area hospital late Monday after the remaining dates of his national tour were abruptly canceled, multiple authorities familiar with the case told NBC...
Michigan computer scientists believe they have found a way to reverse the US Presidential Election results, and elect Hillary Clinton after all. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign will participate in and join the recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, says a lawyer for the Clinton campaign, the Washington Post reported Saturday. "Because we had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology, we had not planned to exercise this...
On October 31, 2016 Hillary Clinton's campaign requested permission to shoot off two minutes of fireworks. But at 3 pm the day before Election day, Monday November 7, 2016, the Clinton Campaign abruptly cancelled a planned Election Night "victory" fireworks display, The New York Post reports. It's clear that she knew she would lose that afternoon. Otherwise, why would she cancel a paid for and already approved fireworks display? The Clinton campaign had contacted the Coast Guard last week for...
Professor Noam Chomsky has been blamed more than any other single person, for the wave of political correctness that has swallowed academia. Now, in an interview with Truthout.org, Chomsky fought back against the man elected by Americans as the antidote to his philosophy. http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/38360-trump-in-the-white-house-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky "On November 8, the most powerful country in world history, which will set its stamp on what comes next, had an election,"...
Several colleges try to comfort students upset by Donald Trump's victory. In some colleges, exams have been cancelled or postponed, while at Cornell, students held a cry in on the quad. At Berkeley, the administration let upset students march on campus, or play with Playdoh or crayons. I'm not making this up. Colleges have become the least liberal places in the world when it comes to free speech. Seriously, you can speak your mind more easily at a North Korean Communist Party convention, then...
"The worst-case scenario of a Trump presidency: Women lose their reproductive freedom. There are mass deportations. There is a religious test for entry into America. Denying climate change becomes official policy and we exit our agreements. Our international alliances are effectively terminated. The orientation of economic policy-making is rooted in yesterday's industries and does not account for the rise of robotics and intelligence. Trump governs as an autocratic strongman instead of the...
Relax, Dems. It's not the end of the world. I'm old enough to remember Democrats upset at the 1980 election of Ronald Reagan over Jimmy Carter. Reagan, primarily known as an actor (despite 2 terms as California governor), had defeated a deeply moral, religious and intelligent man. Pres. Carter rode silently to Reagan's swearing in ceremony, with the old actor. Later, Carter said that Reagan had no interest in discussing world politics with him. He seemed to have no understanding or interest in t...
Republican Donald Trump has seen it necessary to call out Independent conservative candidate Evan McMullin. Former CIA agent McMullin is the darling of conservatives in Christian, Mormon, family oriented Utah. He is polling in the high 20's or low 30's, approximately even with Trump and with Democrat Hillary Clinton. This is almost unheard of in American presidential contests (though the results in New Mexico are somewhat similar, if you substitute in Gary Johnson for McMullin). It's been...
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's party will be at the Hilton Midtown. It will feature not only the Donald, but Melania Trump, Eric Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. Hillary Clinton will be less than 2 miles away, at the Jacob Javits center, for a party no doubt feature Jay-Z, Bruce Springsteen and Katy Perry, all of whom have stumped with her. Looks like Tiffany Trump wasn't invited to either event, however. Her publicist as confirmed that the woman sometimes compared to Jan Brady ("...
On Twitter, folks are asking why Antarctica is trending, but Hillary Emails aren't. Is it because liberal Democrat Mark Zuckerberg is trying to censor the news? "Obama has cancelled all campaign appearances," tweeted @agentsargaevna. @trumpsuperpac tweeted: "Trump was right again! August 2015, Trump said #AnthonyWeiner knows all about #HillarysEmails through Huma #hillary's assistant! #TheFBI" "FBI Director James B. Comey decided to inform Congress that he would look again into Hillary...
You've all seen the polls, and the election of Hillary Clinton is nearly a sure thing. Barack Obama leaves office as one of the most popular outgoing presidents in recent US history. Mrs. Clinton will take office as the most ethically challenged president elect ever--notwithstanding the fact that she has already hired a barge to sit in New York Harbor and launch fireworks on Inauguration Day. Sometime in late November or early December, we predict that he will issue a blanket pardon of everyone...
"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero-55BC We'll all miss this raucous election season, but isn't the bigger problem what priorities to set, rather than which personality to run it. Here's the five biggest problems, and s...
They've had it and they're not going to take it any more. Evangelical Christians and social conservatives always had a tenuous relationship with Republican Nominee Donald Trump. They are turning to a clean cut, former Navy Seal in such large numbers, that he has recently polled 20% of likely voters in the State of Utah. Trump polled 32% and Clinton 26% in the Monmouth University poll, released 10/13. Leaders of the Mormon Church have condemned Trump over the tape with Billy Bush released...
Hillary Clinton agreed to attend and to deliver a speech to a group of extraterrestrials at Area 51 in Nevada, Wikileaked e mails reveal. In exchange, the Aliens agreed to pay $12.5 million in bitcoin. The Aliens are believed to have renegotiated the deal when Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton showed up instead of Hillary. See photo "No matter what happens, she will be at Area 51 hosting the Space Aliens on May 5-7, 2015," Huma Abedin, a top Hillary Clinton aide, wrote in a November 2014 email...
'That's because you're fascinated with sex, Megyn," said the grey haired professor and republican strategist, to the beautiful blond TV personality. He was explaining why she (allegedly) spent 23 minutes covering 10 women who have accused the Republican candidate of sexual harassment, and less than one full minute on Hillary Clinton's secret desire to have open borders, as revealed in a speech last year to Brazilian bankers. Got all that? Good, because it's the best political moment of October,...
Houthi rebels fighting the Western backed government in Aden, have reportedly taken down something definitely not Islamic in nature. This from the local press: On Wednesday 19th of October after evening prayers, a large noise was heard in the sky followed by the sighting of an intense, large light heading from the west above a region east of the capital of Riyadh. Residents said the UFO did not look like a meteor. It was a blue green color, and was shooting out green flashes. One witness, a 40...
The election of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton as President will lead to higher interest rates, starting with a 25 basis point increase at the Federal Reserves December meeting. This according to CNBC and other sources. While the Fed has raised the overnight interest rate just once in 9 years, "Goldman Sachs economists now see a 75 percent chance of a Fed rate hike by the end of the year, with odds rising as Republican Donald Trump's chances of winning the White House have fallen."...
On her plane coming back from Las Vegas and Thursday night's debate, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton took reporters questions, something she has only very rarely done this year. "It's been a year and now we've finished our last debate and I'm feeling relieved and very grateful," Clinton said. http://www.theamericanmirror.com/hillary-laments-no-naps-final-debate/ "But I just wanted to come back and say hello. Some of you have been on the trail the whole time. No more debates. No more naps,"...
