Michelle Malkin: Cruel Castro's Death Exposes Canada's Trudeau as "Baby-Faced Commie Apologist"

By Rick Pearcey • November 30, 2016, 11:00 AM

Mild-mannered Michelle Malkin writes:

For more than a year, the liberal Canadian prime minister enjoyed drool-stained global press coverage as the "hot hipster" and "dreamy sex symbol" with great hair and a tribal Haida tattoo. He basked in Ryan Gosling-esque memes about his commitment to feminism and touched off "Trudeau-mania" with a series of shirtless selfies and photobombs.

But this weekend, the sane world saw the baby-faced Commie apologist for the naked twit he truly is.

 What happened? This, says Malkin:

Mourning the death of repressive dictator Fidel Castro, Trudeau hailed his longtime family friend as a "larger than life leader" who "served his people for almost half a century."

Actually, El Comandante ruled with an iron fist and firing squads -- serving himself to all of the island's land, private businesses and media, along with his own private yacht, private island, 20 homes, fleet of Mercedes limos and bevy of mistresses.

"Trudeau's ridiculous mash note to the 'legendary revolutionary and orator' caused the social media backlash of the year," Malkin continues. "The hashtag #TrudeauEulogies erupted to mock Trudeau's soft-soaping of tyranny."

 Twitterlutionary blowblack included tweets like these, as Malkin writes:

"As we mourn Emperor Caligula, let us always remember his steadfast devotion to Senate reform" one Twitter user jibed in Trudeau-speak.

"Although flawed Hitler was a vegetarian who loved animals, was a contributor to the arts & proud advocate for Germany," another joked.

"Kim Jong Il will always be remembered fondly for his leadership and contributions on climate change," another chimed in.

"Stung, the Canadian tundra hunk's office announced Monday that he will not attend services for his beloved Uncle Fidel, who had served as a pallbearer at his former Canadian PM father's funeral," Malkin notes. "But if Trudeau thinks the damage to his celebrity brand is temporary, he has another thing coming."

CDC Study Says Teen Virgins Are Healthier

By Rick Pearcey • November 29, 2016, 01:50 PM

Glenn Stanton writes today at the Federalist:

A new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the first ever of its kind, examines a large and diverse array of high school students' health behaviors according to their self-reported sexual activity.

What makes this report particularly interesting, beyond its categorization by sexual activity, is it examines widely varied safety and health behaviors from bike helmet and seat belt use to substance abuse, diet, doctor's visits, exercise, and even tanning bed use. The report's two major conclusions are quite stark:

  • The virginal students rate significantly and consistently better in nearly all health-related behaviors and measures than their sexually active peers.
  • Teens who have sexual contact with the same or both sexes have remarkably lower percentages of healthy behaviors overall than their heterosexually active peers.

Consider, for example, the significant contrast regarding experiences of "Dating Violence." Opposite-Sex Active (OSA) "teens are 260 percent more likely to experience some form of physical violence in dating relationships than virginal peers," Stanton writes. By contrast, same-sex/bisexual active (SS/BA) "teens are 683 percent more likely than virginal peers" to experience this negative outcome.

In the category of "Felt Sad or Helpless," "OSA teens are 48 percent more likely to report feeling so sad or helpless almost every day for two or more weeks in a row that they stopped doing some of their usual activities, compared to virginal peers," Stanton states. "SS/BA teens are 181 percent more likely than virginal peers."

Here's how Stanton concludes: "Our children should know there's very compelling scientific evidence on so many levels showing how saving the precious gift of their sexuality for the safe harbor of marriage is nothing about old-time moralism or unhealthy sexual repression.

"Just the opposite is true. Chastity is related to so many substantial measures of human health and well-being that it should be strongly appreciated by parents and health and education professionals as one of the most important health-boosting factors for our nation's young adults."

Gloria Estefan on Castro: "Indiscriminate Jailing of Innocents . . . State Sanctioned Terrorism"

By Rick Pearcey • November 28, 2016, 10:11 AM

Mark Judge reports at CNSNews.com:

Shortly after the death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro on November 25, singer Gloria Estefan took to Instagram express her thoughts.

Estefan, whose mother and father fled Cuba for the United States in 1960, criticized Castro's "destructive ideologies" which she writes led to "the annihilation of those with an opposing view, the indiscriminate jailing of innocents, the separation of families, the censure of people's freedom to speak, state sanctioned terrorism and the destruction of a once thriving & successful country."

In English and then Spanish, here is the complete Estefan post at Instagram:

Although the death of a human being is rarely cause for celebration, it is the symbolic death of the destructive ideologies that he espoused that, I believe, is filling the Cuban exile community with renewed hope and a relief that has been long in coming.

And although the grip of Castro's regime will not loosen overnight, the demise of a leader that oversaw the annihilation of those with an opposing view, the indiscriminate jailing of innocents, the separation of families, the censure of his people's freedom to speak, state sanctioned terrorism and the economic destruction of a once thriving & successful country, can only lead to positive change for the Cuban people and our world.

May freedom continue to ring in the United States, my beautiful adopted country, and may the hope for freedom be inspired and renewed in the heart of every Cuban in my homeland and throughout the world.

And in Spanish:

Aunque la muerte de un ser humano es raramente causa para celebrar, es la muerte simbólica de las ideologías destructivas que el patrocinó que, en mi opinión, están llenando al exilio Cubano de esperanza renovada y un alivio que ha tardado mucho en llegar.

Y aunque el agarre del régimen Castrista no se aflojara de un día para otro, el deceso de un líder que supervisó el aniquilamiento de aquellos con puntos de vistas opuestos al suyo, el encarcelamiento de inocentes, la separación de familias, la censura de la libertad de expresión, el esparcimiento de terrorismo sancionado por su gobierno y la destrucción económica de un país exitoso que prosperaba, solo puede llevar a cambios positivos para el pueblo Cubano y el mundo.

Que la libertad siga viva en los Estados Unidos, mi bello país adoptivo, y que la esperanza para la libertad crezca y se renueve en los corazones de cada Cubano en mi tierra natal y a través del mundo.

Limbaugh: "True Story of Thanksgiving" Is a Rejection of Socialism

By Rick Pearcey • November 25, 2016, 12:33 PM

Jeff Poor reports at Breitbart:

Wednesday on his nationally syndicated radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh continued his annual tradition of telling the "true story of Thanksgiving" that he had originally detailed in a passage of his 1992 book, “See, I Told You So.

According to Limbaugh, the story had been mischaracterized over the years and the true success story of the Pilgrims stems from their rejection of socialism to ultimately become a thriving settlement.

Go here for the audio and transcript of Limbaugh's annual telling of the "True Story of Thanksgiving."

Robber Fails Because Bank Closed -- And the Moral of the Story Is?

By Rick Pearcey • November 23, 2016, 11:07 AM

AP reports:

Austrian police have arrested a man who they say tried to rob a bank in Vienna -- but arrived too early.

Police spokesman Patrick Maierhofer says the 45-year old suspect entered the bank foyer Tuesday armed with a gas pistol and with a hood drawn over his head but 15 minutes before opening time.

Maierhofer reportedly "says that passers-by alerted police after the man hid his weapon under newspapers and paced nervously as he waited for the main doors to open."

AP reports that the "man wasn't identified in line with Austrian privacy laws. Police say his planned getaway vehicle was a stolen scooter."

Moral of story: Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Obama Admin Fines Police Department for Not Hiring Non-Citizens

By Rick Pearcey • November 22, 2016, 11:20 AM

Blake Neff reports at the Daily Caller:

Denver County's sheriff office has been slapped with a fine by the Department of Justice (DOJ) because it refused to hire non-citizens as deputies.

From the beginning of 2015 through last March, the Denver Sheriff Department went on a major hiring binge, adding more than 200 new deputies. But those jobs ended up only going to citizens, because the department made citizenship a stated requirement on the job application. The department admitted as much in a new settlement with the U.S. government, which requires it to pay a $10,000 fine.

"Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, employers are required to give equal treatment to non-citizens with valid work permits, unless state, local, or federal law explicitly requires certain jobs be open only to citizens," Neff writes. "More than 40 U.S. states currently have laws that in some capacity restrict non-citizens from being police, but Colorado is not one of them. The department says it was simply unaware that limiting employment to citizens was a violation of federal law."

Comment: The post-Constitution, post-Declaration federal government is totally out of control and riding roughshod over "We the American People."

Washington must decrease if Americans are to increase. Drain the swamp. Kick the monsters out. And let freedom ring. Make America free again.

By Rick Pearcey • November 21, 2016, 09:14 AM

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 81% of Likely U.S. Voters favor a plan that calls for mandatory deportation of illegal immigrants who have been convicted of a felony in this country. Just 13% are opposed.

Horowitz: Steve Bannon -- Civil Rights Hero

By Rick Pearcey • November 18, 2016, 08:26 AM

David Horowitz writes at Frontpagemag:

Many have called school choice -- the movement to liberate African American youngsters from the failed schools that don't teach them -- the "civil rights movement of the 21st Century."

Donald Trump is one of those who do, but it was Steve Bannon, the CEO of Trump's presidential campaign, who put it on Trump's radar and made it a centerpiece of Trump's "New Deal for Black America."

I happen to know this because I was responsible for drawing Bannon's attention to it in the first place. I bring this up now, not to draw attention to anything I have done, but to defend a man who has been viciously and baselessly portrayed as a "white nationalist" and "racist," who has put himself on the line for black America in a way that few others have.

"The attempt by desperate, hysterical and malicious voices on the left to isolate, stigmatize and silence Steve Bannon as a 'white nationalist,' is despicable, not least because that is the very last thing he is," Horowitz writes.

In fact, Horowitz concludes, "school choice is now a presidential priority. It could never have happened without Steve Bannon. It could never have happened without someone in a position like Steve's who cared about what happened to inner city children and who was willing to put his weight behind a program this ambitious, which no other Republican would touch."

Horowitz predicts: "When the history of the 21st Century civil rights movement is written Steve Bannon's name will have a special place in its pantheon of heroes."

David Horowitz Defends Steve Bannon Against Anti-Semitism "Witch Hunt"

By Rick Pearcey • November 17, 2016, 11:29 AM

Jason Devaney reports at Newsmax:

The controversy surrounding President-elect Donald Trump's top advisor Steve Bannon is merely a "witch hunt," conservative writer David Horowitz told Newsmax Tv.

The claims Bannon is an anti-Semite are rubbish, Horowitz told the "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Wednesday.

"I tell you, what we are witnessing here is the biggest witch hunt in American history -- this witch hunt of Steve Bannon and anybody really who supports Trump," Horowitz told Malzberg.

"The New York Times uses my quote, my headline against Bannon. They couldn't find a single thing he said that was anti-Semitic," Horowitz said, according to Newsmax.

"This Bannon thing is completely invented, totally out of whole cloth," Horowitz continued. "It's just a bunch of sore losers who want to tar and feather, stigmatize the Trump administration and will fight it every step of the way -- never look at its actual programs or what it's actually doing as in this case, supporting Israel and the Jews."

Trump's Steve Bannon and Israel's Netanyahu

By Rick Pearcey • November 16, 2016, 02:53 PM

As media land finds itself in the midst of a meltdown over the naming of Steve Bannon as chief strategist and senior counselor to Donald Trump, perhaps we would do well to consider video remarks from Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Trump on the occasion of the president-elect's stunning November 8 election victory.

As this video documents, Netanyahu warmly congratulated Trump on being elected to the highest office in the land. Netanyahu said:

President-Elect Trump, my friend, congratulations on being elected president of the United States of America.

You are a great friend of Israel. Over the years you have expressed your support consistently, and I deeply appreciate it. I look forward to working with you to advance security, prosperity, and peace.

Israel is greatful for the broad support it enjoys among the American people. And I am confident that the two of us, working closely together, will bring the great alliance between our two countries to even greater heights.

May God bless America, may God bless Israel, may God bless our enduring alliance.

This statement comes to us in the midst of accusations -- echoed near and far -- that Steven Bannon is a "white nationalist" and anti-Semite -- accusations that have been countered here, here, here, and no doubt elsewhere.

The point here is to note that the Prime Minister of Israel likely has the best interests of his country at heart, no doubt has been aware of Bannon's strategic role in the Trump victory, and yet in Netanyahu's statement of congratulations to Donald Trump, the prime minister is clearly thrilled at the prospect of Trump as president.

In both tone and content, there is nothing in Netanyahu's statement that suggests any concern whatsoever about about Steve Bannon or white nationalism or anti-Semitism. Netanyahu seems thrilled -- dare say, existentially relieved -- he'll be dealing with Trump (and not with Hillary Clinton).

I expect many more meltdowns. The dysfunctional, post-Constitutional establishment (both Democrat and Republican) does not and will not like having its power over people, and its comforting delusions for themselves, stripped away by everyday Americans.

In present and future circumstances, I recommend we make sure to listen with a grain of salt when the Reactionary National Media try throwing "information" our way. They chose sides, and they lost. And now it seems they're doing everything they can to win it back.

They and their mental slaves may never realize what hit them. That is very unfortunate.

Intelligence Revolts Against the Less-Than-Zero-Credibility National Media

By Rick Pearcey • November 15, 2016, 09:15 AM

Cameron Cawthorne writes at Freebeacon.com:

CNN anchor Brianna Keilar claimed on Monday that she witnessed Tea Party protesters spitting on African-American members of Congress and calling them racial slurs when she previously covered the Tea Party as a reporter in 2010.

The incident that Keilar alluded to allegedly occurred on March 20, 2010, when thousands of Americans arrived in Washington, D.C. to protest House Democrats preparing to vote for Obamacare.

"While many reporters said they witnessed the incident, Breitbart News debunked it and found there was no video evidence that it ever happened," Cawthorne reports.

"In April 2010," Cawthorne continues, "Breitbart offered a reward of $100,000 to the United Negro Fund for audio or video evidence to prove that that Reps. André Carson (D., Ind.) and John Lewis (D., Ga.) were called the 'N-word' as they were entering the Cannon House building on Capitol Hill. However, nobody claimed the reward, Breitbart reported." Read more here.

Update -- Additional Comment From FB: The liberal media today has zero credibility. Less than zero. It's in negative territory like a sinkhole devouring trustworthiness.

I, for one, am not interested in a member of this power establishment expecting me to take at face value anything he or she or it might claim to "report."

Why? Because these folks and this machine have taken sides. Instead of offering evidence to support their reporting, they provide a massaged "news" that is virtually immediately accompanied by a host of opinion people telling everyone what it all means.

You. Shall. Think. This. Way.

And, of course, you are a racist if you happen to think for yourself and therefore do not immediately fall down and worship their unbelievable excellence. "Please, please run my life and do my thinking and choosing for me."

A critical thinker, therefore -- a self-respecting human being, therefore -- no longer respects today's "news" as a source of reporting on real-world events. That well -- that source -- has been poisoned.

And if the anchors and achorettes want to do a news story on who did the poisoning, they might begin by looking in the mirror.

Healthy human beings do not allow dysfunctional systems to abuse them world without end.

Rather, engaging this, ahem, "news coverage" is really much more accurately described as performing opposition research on those who seek to do you in.

Media-viewing is therefore research into seeing what lines of attack and what lines of story-telling elitist, ruling-class interests (Democrat and GOP) and globalist interests and I-want-to-control-you interests are currently swinging at you to advance their agenda and to defeat their opposition's agenda.

In other words, folks: It's not news. It is not news.

It's sales and marketing, it's propaganda and war.

And it's a battle the human being as human being -- unalienable rights and all -- endowed by our Creator with tremendous worth and dignity -- yes, it's a battle the human being as human being must fight and win.

Intelligence revolts.

For the Record: When Enlightened People Laughed at the Idea of Trump Actually Winning the Election -- Videos

By Rick Pearcey • November 14, 2016, 02:01 PM

"Enlightened" and settled opinion regarding the then-yet-future-but-no-doubt-certain fact that Donald Trump could never ever in a million years win election to the U.S. presidency is on view in the video "When People Laughed at the Idea of Trump Actually Being Elected President."

Said enlightenment is brought to you by the likes of Seth Myers of SNL, CNN's "Reliable Sources," "Ron" Reagan, Jr., Fox News, "Real Time With Bill Maher," Obama, MSNBC, Jeb Bush, George W. Bush, Nate Silver, NBC's "Meet the Press," and more.

As this footage documents, settled consensus would meet objective fact as the American people mobilized "to set things aright" on E-Day, Nov. 8, 2016. (Hat tip: The Outlaw Josey Wales)

Thus CNN's Wolf Blitzer announced skirmish after skirmish, battle after battle, as citizen warriors for freedom fanned out across this land. Allied forces had indeed landed on the beaches of everyday America and were making remarkably rapid progress inland toward liberating a people groaning under foreign occupation.

For additional historic footage of E-Day, Nov. 8, 2016, see this "Trump Won't Win" video provided by the American resistance.

Once again, absolutely rock-hard elite opinion was felled by the stubborn facticity of a people in revolt against their oppressors. 

This second video features figures such as Obama, Charles Krauthammer, CNN's Fareed Zakaria, Karl Rove, Jeb Bush, CBS's Bob Schieffer on "Face the Nation," John Kasich, Mitt Romney, Marco Rubio, The goils of "The View," Jorge Ramos of Univision, and more.

And once again, by the video's conclusion, there goes Trump winning the dang election.

When it comes to settled "truth" these days, much that elite society claims to know just "isn't so" (Hat tip: Ronald Reagan).

Perhaps politically correct society could use a heavy dose of critical thinking. Not the pretend kind that's in vogue in Washington-controlled government schools. But the real thing.

For a bunch so addicted to "orientations," ruling class elites have somehow missed one of the most important orientations of all: reality orientation.

Hillary Snubbed as Trump Names Priebus Chief of Staff, Bannon Chief Strategist

By Rick Pearcey • November 13, 2016, 06:50 PM

Fox News reports:

President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday appointed Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus as his White House chief of staff.

Trump also announced that campaign CEO Steve Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News, will be his chief strategist and senior counselor.

All indications are that Hillary Clinton has be shut out of this process, receiving no pay-to-play bribes or other gifts in return for her role in elevating the proflies of Priebus and Bannon.

Gohmert: Trump's Wall Will "Get Done," and There Are "Billions" Available for It

By Rick Pearcey • November 11, 2016, 04:01 PM

Lauretta Brown reports at CNSNews.com:

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) appeared on "Fox & Friends" on Friday morning to discuss President-elect Donald Trump's campaign promise to "build a wall along the southern border."

Gohmert assured host Steve Doocy that the wall "will get done," arguing that in the past "there's been billions of dollars appropriated for a virtual wall," but "Janet Napolitano head of Homeland Security, she just said, you know what, I don't want to do that, and we let her get away with disobeying the law."

Doocy asked Gohmert if he thought Trump would run into a wall with Congress in delivering on his promise to build a wall.

"He may have trouble with some," Gohmert replied, "but I've been thrilled the way our Republican leadership this week has just gotten all excited about Trump. You know, as my friend Paul Ryan said, gee he was hearing voices none of the rest of us heard. Well actually, Steve, some of us were hearing those voices, and we were telling them, but apparently they weren't listening.

"It will be awesome to have a president and a cabinet that will follow the law," Gohmert said, according to CNSNews.com.

Election 2016: The Dream Called America Dodges a Bullet -- Now What?

By Rick Pearcey • November 9, 2016, 07:23 PM

We dodged a bullet last Tuesday. A bullet directed at the heart of the American dream.

In the timely defeat of Hillary Clinton and in the stunning victory of Donald Trump and Mike Pence, a significant battle has been won. Much, however, remains to be done -- at levels strategic and foundational -- if we are to carry days beyond this day.

As a matter of strategic import, we must restore the real-world governing centrality of the U.S. Constitution, as written and not as killed by secularists and their dead "living" "Constitution" -- which they then mangle to make it say and ratify whatever it is they want to do to have their way with the American body politic.

It is a simple fact: The freedoms so central to a humane life here in the U.S. cannot be sustained, and are not being sustained, by mere lip service to a bunch of words on a piece of paper called the Constitution. This is what the presidential oath of office has been reduced to -- just a perfunctory act on Inauguration Day, the content of which is denied all the other days by that massive non-Constitutional monopoly of establishment power that is the federal government, its eyes and tentacles reaching and probing every aspect of our individual lives.

That is not freedom. That is not human dignity. We are made for better than this.

And so we can be thankful that Hillary Clinton's defeat derails what clearly would have been a successful effort to radicalize the Supreme Court by inserting extremist activists pretending to be justices. Pretenders -- not judges, but partisan operatives. Not justices, but political hacks. Using their position to legalize brutality, empower the executioners, and create "law" out thin air. What an inhumane disaster an anti-Constitutional Clintonized court would have been.

Also as a matter of strategic and foundational import, we must restore the Declaration of Independence -- to which the Constitution is inextricably linked. To which it is wonderfully and ingeniously linked. Such that to delink these two foundational documents is to occasion great harm and sorrow. It is to strike at the heart of that liberating dream and beckoning land which is called America.

In fact, if we allow political elites -- whether Republican or Democrat -- to alienate the Constitution from the principles of human freedom and human dignity set forth in the Declaration rooted with practical realism in an actually existing Creator -- well, let's just say that's how tyrants can use the "form" of the Constitution to deny its liberty and thereby impose an authoritarian, centralized power regime upon "We the People." 

What a gross and outrageous offense to the human being. We bearers of publicly actionable unalienable rights endowed by the Creator are made for better than this.

Thus the disaster of Washington elites so alienated from the American people of today -- in very large measure because these elites are already so alienated from those "magnificent" words of the Declaration and the Constitution, to quote Martin Luther King, Jr. Were it not for those magnificent words, there would have been no Martin Luther King. And never could there have been that shining, bright light of cultural advance displayed in the magnificent words of his epochal speech "I Have a Dream."

And so, because of the electoral outcome last Tuesday, we live to fight another day. We live to face down the spiritual terror aching to be unleashed yet more by extremists against the Constitution and Declaration -- by yet more aggressive figures to arise and attack in the mold of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

These are the soft-spoken suit-and-tie totalitarians. The professionally aggrieved pantsuit propagandists.

They call it "transforming America" -- in reality, it's an attack on America. An attack on the indispensable foundations of human freedom and human dignity. An assault on the heart of the American body politic that is rightfully so challenged, and so uplifted to the challenge, by magnificent Constitutional and Declarational words conveying liberating principles that speak to the very center of every human being.

To add insult to injury, and offense to indignity, this attack is so extremely dishonest.

They call it "liberation." They call it "equality." "Diversity." Words and slogans whose hidden purpose is to dominate and control, to elevate into power an elite "more equal" than "We the People," and to impose a phony diversity the better to divide -- that the controllers might more easily conquer and rule.

What dishonesty, how inhumane, and such disrespect. We the human beings are made for so much more than this.

So, yes: Congratulations, O America. We live to fight another day. America lives to fight another day.

Let us make the most of who are. Let us make the most of what America as America always can strive to be. A walking dream from the mind of the Creator. A land of light, liberty, and humanity.

No perfection, it is true. And yet enough of a marvel to draw the people of the world to the beacon of our borders and the shining of our shores.

Trump Wins and the Democrat National Media Loses Its Mind

By Rick Pearcey • November 9, 2016, 11:41 AM

Brittany M. Hughes writes at MRCTV.org:

The front page of the left-leaning Huffington Post didn't shy away from what its publishers thought about Tuesday's election. Stark, bold letters emblazoned on HuffPo's homepage screamed, "Mourning in America: NIGHTMARE: Prez Trump . . . America Elected A Man Who Said 'Grab Them By The Pu**y' Over The First Female President . . . Party Ends In Tears . . ."

Poor HuffPo seemed downright stunned that any voter would choose Trump over Clinton and her "history-making story arc."

"HuffPo was just one of a slew of liberal media outlets losing their minds over Republican presidential nominee -- and now President-elect -- Donald Trump's victory over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton on Tuesday night in an upset that shocked many liberal and conservative pundits alike," Hughes writes.

When "Voting Your Conscience" Is an Ethical and Inhumane Disaster

By Rick Pearcey • November 8, 2016, 02:46 PM

Some people seem to think that "voting my conscience" absolves them of their ethical responsibility regarding the on-the-ground reality their votes help create after this election.

But merely "voting your conscience" is truncated ethical voting -- a form of privatized spirituality more Greek and secular than Judeo-Christian and humane.

In addition, going 3rd party in Election 2016 potentially enables into vast power a Hillary Clinton -- a well-practiced destroyer of foundations. You can see the the problem.

"Voting my conscience" is useless if not outright dangerous if it does not include love of neighbor within its scope of application.

Go ahead. Swing at Trump. Be alerted, however: Your neighbors may well be a bit upset if your swing at Trump ends up hitting their families.

Which is what will happen if "conscience" voters elevate a wrecker like Clinton to the most powerful elected political office in the world.

These remarks, slightly edited here, were first published on FB.

WikiLeaks Exposes Rigged "Reporting": Of Course CNN & the DNC Were Colluding on Questions for Republicans

By Rick Pearcey • November 7, 2016, 12:26 PM

Robert Eno writes at CR:

If there is one thing that has been laid completely bare for the world to see, it is the fact that the mainstream media and the Democratic Party are in lock step and collude on coverage.

Any claim to objectivity the media have has gone completely out the window. The latest evidence was released last night by WikiLeaks.

In the second [Democratic National Commiittee] email dump of the campaign, it was shown that CNN was asking the DNC for questions to ask at least two GOP presidential candidates during interviews. (emphasis added)

The DNC of course was all too happy to join in. 

"In an email on April 28, 2016, the DNC research director Lauren Dillon asked her staff to compile questions for CNN to ask Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas," Eno notes.

"In the email, Dillon makes it clear that CNN was asking for help. The email stated, 'CNN is looking for questions'," Eno writes.

Eno goes go on to cite additional examples of collusion -- between the DNC and CNBC, Politico, and the Boston Globe, for example.

"No matter who wins the election tomorrow, it is now clear that the media are a propaganda arm of the Democratic National Committee," Eno concludes.

Hence, let me suggest: The Democrat National Media -- not to be trusted as reliable sources of information, comment, and anlaysis. And that includes their "polling." For the "mainstream" media well has been poisoned by politicized passions.

These "journalists" pose as umpires, but they are really secretly committed to one team defeating the other.

That's rigged, and these purveyors of corruption and rigged "knowledge" should be escorted off the field.

These false umpires aren't just lying about some recreational sports enterprise -- which would be harmfully immoral in and of itself. Their cheating bespeaks war between enemies, not play among friends.

No. Whether we are talking about counterfeit money, sham deals, lying politicians, or pretend journalists, false and misleading information always has the potential to harm and destroy -- not just individuals but also communities.

A just, healthy, and humane society will not put up with this. It is a sickness that must be removed so that the body can be restored to health. Then life once again can be lived and enjoyed to the fullest. Imagine that.

Election 2016: 3rd Party and Hillary Clinton's "Spiritual Terror"

By Rick Pearcey • November 5, 2016, 09:11 PM

We stand on the eve of one of the most profound moments in our nation's history. I mean this, and I affirm this, with all of my heart, soul, strength, and mind.

That is what Election Day 2016 is. For good or for ill, E-Day Nov. 8, 2016, presents us with a choice that will decisively impact every single one of us on the very deepest of levels of who we are.

The results of this day will affect us immediately in the concrete realities of our daily lives -- reaching even into matters of life and death. Even more, the results of E-Day will immediately and decisively affect the very structure and direction of who we are as a people and as a national community, whether we shall stand for great good and beauty or for great ill and ugliness.  

To help clarify the gravity of this election, consider "The Parable of the Three Firefighters":

As dusk approached, a mother and father were working together in their garden. They heard shouts and saw smoke and firelight coming from a direction that could only mean their home was on fire and their three children at risk.

They dropped their gardening tools and rushed home to hear voices say, "Mom! Dad! Help us!" The father rushed toward the home to save the children, but collapsed before entering, so hot was the blaze. He was pulled to safety.

Two firefighters appeared on scene, one slightly earlier than the other, both ready to work. Because of logistics, only one firefighter with truck and crew could be positioned to quell the flames.

The first firefighter arrived and said truck and crew were ready and that fire hoses could be deployed to put out the fire, save the children, and keep the house from burning down. This firefighter was long-approved by pillars of the community. The only problem was that this firefighter's fire hoses would be filled with gasoline.

The second firefighter was gruff and disliked by some of the neighbors. But his truck and crew were ready and his fire hoses could be deployed immediately to save the children and keep the house from burning down. And there was water in the hoses of his fire truck.

A third firefighter and his fire truck were on the way. Some said he was the best firefighter the community had ever known. "It would be best to wait for him," they said. But he and his crew were many miles away and there was little chance he could arrive in time to put out the fire, save the children, and keep the house from burning down.

The mom and dad almost allowed the first firefighter and crew put out the fire. But the parents smelled the gas in the nick of time and discovered the fire hoses were filled with gasoline, not water. So they said no to the long-approved firefighter because they loved their children and knew the result would be a disaster.

The mom and dad liked the third firefighter and listened when neighbors said, "It would be best to wait for him." But the parents understood that the third firefighter and his crew were many miles away and there was little chance they would arrive in time to put out the fire, save the children, and keep the house from burning down.

So the mom and dad decided in favor of the second firefighter, even though he was gruff and disliked by some of the neighbors. For his truck was ready and his fire hoses could be immediately deployed to save the children and keep the house from burning down. And there was water in the hoses of his fire truck.

And there was singing and great rejoicing as the children were saved and much of the house preserved, to be rebuilt better and stronger than before, because mom and dad acted wisely on the day when fire threatened the future of them all.    

In "The Parable of the Three Firefighters," the first firefighter represents Hillary Clinton. As the initial responder, Mrs. Clinton with her crew is ready to "put out the fire." Unfortunately, her fire hoses are filled with gas -- that is, applying her solutions to America will only make matters worse in our country, in fact, dramatically and potentially catastrophically worse.

It is important to grasp that what Hillary Clinton will unleash is a form of spiritual terror. Consider the spiritual terror of immigration chaos in a nation without effective borders. Common sense tells us that just as the human body needs skin to regulate what is allowed in physically, even so a nation needs a border to regulate what is allowed in nationally. As human skin is to the health and growth of a human body, even so national borders are to the health and growth of a humane nation. No skin, no body; no border, no nation.

A healthy body politic therefore respects strong borders to protect our domestic life against criminals, drugs, cartels, Islamic terrorists, and so on. A healthy nation rejects illegal immigration and carefully regulates legal immigration to ensure that only those who love what it means to be American are allowed the privileges of citizenship. To do otherwise is violence against the spirit of America and places the lives of our sons and daughters -- in fact, all of us -- in harm's way.

We have already seen how eight years of the Obama regime have brought home murder, sexual assault, drug abuse, Islamic jihad into America, and more. It's hard to see how any humane person could knowingly vote in ways that enable a Hillary Clinton to assume the office of the U.S. presidency.

Much the same could be noted in relation to the spiritual terror that a President Hillary Clinton would unleash regarding Islamic terror, which she refuses even to name. Imagine going to a doctor unwilling to name a life-threatening cancer, lest he be accused of being "cancer-phobic." Such a doctor would be a quack -- and a deadly one at that. Enabling the elevation of such a person to high office would be unconscionable. To the office of the U.S. president? Insane.  

But let us not fail to mention a deeper aspect of Clinton's spiritual terror, and that is the anti-Constitutional terror and anti-Declaration of Independence terror that will be unleashed across America in a Clinton regime should we allow her to occupy the office of president.

The core of America, that genius of America, that enduring mainstream of America, is located in the Declaration of Independence for all to see. It is that to which the next president will swear to "preserve, protect, and defend" when taking the presidential oath of office.

The core, the enduring mainstream genius, is the political vision that accepts the real-world, publicly actionable principle that an actual and real Creator, and not any merely human state, is the ultimate source and ground of human freedom and human dignity.

Hear these words, O America:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. -- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. . . ."

These principles express the ultimate core of what the next president is pledging allegiance to when taking the oath of office and swearing before America and the entire world political fidelity to the U.S. Constitution. A Constitution whose purpose is what? To enflesh the amazing liberating principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence. And thus is released a spiritual liberty into the world, to be expressed humanely and holistically across all of life, both publicly and privately, including political life.

But it is this spirit of liberty, O America, that Hillary Clinton does not want you to hear or understand or accept. She the secularist rejects the actual and real Creator of the Declaration and instead would impose her politically correct Trinity of Almighty Diversity, Totalitarian Tolerance, and Authoritarian Equality.

That she will unleash her spiritual terror is not a matter of speculation, for she is on record calling for the enforcement of her agenda. "Laws don't count for much if they're not enforced," she proclaimed at the sixth annual Women in the World Summit. What she calls "rights" "have to exist in practice -- not just on paper."

This proclamation is a warning. Hillary Clinton will use "law," law that stands in violation against the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Should Mrs. Clinton assume the White House, you can expect her to begin unleashing spiritual terror upon America and upon the world. Millions upon millions will be impacted grossly and inhumanely. And she will begin immediately.

Donald Trump is the second firefighter in "The Parable of the Three Firefighters." By his own recorded words, he can employ sexually gross language that is very offensive, and he can be gruff on the campaign trail. His flaws are not to be dismissed, and they are not to be minimized in any way.

To be balanced, let us also not dismiss nor minimize that he shows no track record of being someone who wakes up each morning thinking about advancing an extremist vision that is alien to the norms of human freedom and dignity. And for all his gruffness, note that Trump has taken positions that can help quench the flames that are currently threatening to engulf our nation.

On immigration, he wants good people in and bad people out, and he understands that nations without borders are not nations much longer. On destroying pre-born American citizens, he stands against partial-birth abortion. On the economy, he wants to lower taxes, which assists families by helping create jobs.

On the military, he wants to rebuild all branches of the armed forces, which decreases the likelihood of war because bad guys may be crazy but they're not stupid -- few want to take on a strongly armed opponent. "Peace Through Strength" is a valid principle of life, whether we're talking foreign or domestic policy.

Getting rid of Obamacare. Excellent. Getting rid of Common Core and returning education to state and local control. Excellent again -- and a primary strategic move toward breaking that bastion of propaganda currently known as the public schools. This is a generationally positive move that we need to see immediately, if not sooner.

The point is that the gruff firefighter disliked by some of the neighbors happens to be on hand with water in his fire hose. This marks him as qualitatively superior to Hillary Clinton, who has gasoline in her fire hose. With him, the children are saved and so is much of the family's home. With Hillary, the more she helps, the worse things get.

The third firefighter in our parable is Evan McMullin -- or someone like him. McMullin is a former CIA operative whom some people regard as a true conservative, a candidate who most matches their principles, and so on. An alternative to Donald Trump.

For the sake of discussion, let's grant that McMullin (or some other third-party candidate who has recently entered the race) is 100% of what we are looking for in a president.  On all levels, he's everything anyone could want.

There remains a huge problem. As the third firefighter, McMullin is too far away to reach the house in time, and relying on him to get there will result in the destruction of your home and in the irreplaceable loss of your children.

"The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it" (Prov. 27:12). Prudence sees the danger of waiting for McMullin, and prudence says avoid that danger, which can be done because the second firefighter is on hand to do the job.  

Applying this to elections, wise ethical voting means we are responsible not just for inputs (our vote) but also outcomes (the impact of our vote). Ethics is not privatized: It applies not merey to personal choices but also to public results.

With near mathematical certainty we know Hillary Clinton, if elected president, will seek to enact an extreme, inhumane, and harmful agenda. Our own family members may suffer, and perhaps die, as the direct result of her having been elected into office. Just think of inhumane disasters such as Obamacare, illegal alien crime, and Islamic terrorists parachuted into our neighborhoods as "refugees."  

In election 2016, it is clear that a McMullin has zero chance of winning. He's the firefighter "too far away." But by touting him, and encouraging others to do so, some people may thereby enable the election of Hillary Clinton, the firefighter with gasoline in her fire hose.  

It is a certainty that innocent human beings will be killed as the direct result of Hillary Clinton in particular being elected to office, because her inhumane, extremist set of political principles out of their inner essence allow and even encourage the use of human beings as so much meaningless political fodder to be consumed on the road to attaining, maintaining, and expanding political power. And that's just her vision. In addition, her biography includes a well-documented history of pursuing that power selfishly, criminally, and morally corruptly.

What a terrific shame, and what a sad irony, if evangelical Christians by their voting enable such a person to occupy the White House and be positioned to work her will, to have her way, with the American body politic.

Christians would thereby be agents enabling her to unleash spiritual terror not just upon Christians themselves but also upon the whole of America, with grave implications for the world beyond our shores. "Love thy neighbor" means caring how our vote impacts our neighbor's neighborhood, both at home and abroad.

As we stand on the eve of Election Day 2016, the unnatural disaster of a Hillary Clinton presidency is avoidable. I don't mind -- that is, it's understandable -- when people upset with Donald Trump take a swing at him. He's a big guy and seems able to take care of himself. I do mind it when that swing ends up hitting my family and hurting my loved ones.  

Let's vote morally wisely, protect our kids, and elect to live and fight another day. If that third-party guy is good, he'll be back in four years. And so will we.

Real Unemployment Rate Is 9.5%

By Rick Pearcey • November 4, 2016, 10:46 AM

Michael Chapman reports at CNSNews.com:

Although much of the major media are reporting the national unemployment rate for October as 4.9%, the "real unemployment rate," as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and which includes part-time workers and those marginally attached to the work force, is 9.5%.

"In other words," Chapman continues, "the real unemployment rate in the United States for October is nearly double the 4.5% rate reported by most of the media."

Election 2016: "Treason" -- Voter Wisdom Needed as Homeland Security Chairman Blasts Hillary Clinton Over Emails

By Rick Pearcey • November 3, 2016, 01:53 PM

Chuck Ross reports at the Daily Caller:

Hillary Clinton likely committed "treason" by using a private email server that U.S. intelligence sources have told Fox News were almost certainly hacked by five foreign spy agencies, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee said on Thursday.

Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, who chairs the Homeland Security Committee, made the hefty charge in an interview on "Fox & Friends" in response to news that two sources with knowledge of the FBI's investigation of Clinton's server say that there is a 99 percent chance that Clinton's server was breached.

"She exposed it to our enemies," McCaul, a Republican, said of the classified information found on Clinton's server.

"Now, our adversaries have this very sensitive information that not only jeopardizes her and national security at home, but the men and women serving overseas."

"This is a huge story," McCaul said. "It's far bigger than the accusations against Donald Trump. It goes to the heart of the fitness of character to serve as commander in chief."

Let me suggest that no one concerned about the national security of our nation -- which to the degree that it is compromised and threatened, to that degree places all of us and our families at risk of pain and death -- can vote in a way that enables Hillary Clinton to win the presidency.

This is not abstract. Nor is it speculation. A Hillary Clinton as president is not fixable. Instead, it would be a self-imposed unnatural disaster of potentially the highest order. The real-world pain and destruction is potentially incalculable.

Fortunately, this self-imposed unnatural disaster need not be, for we today are in position to avoid that outcome by simply voting morally wisely between now and November 8.

Rather concretely, that means voting Trump and not voting a third-party candidate. For me, Trump clearly has his weaknesses, and I expect there to be robust give and take on several aspects of his agenda.

On issues such as national security, however, Trump's positions are hardly those of someone who would sell this nation down the river. Unfortunately for us, Hillary Clinton may already have done so. And apparently seems to think all is well.

Let's not even begin to ratify such a grave betrayal by allowing her to capture the Oval Office.

Acting in ways that prevent unnatural disasters is crucial to living morally, wisely, and humanely in a broken world.

Let's keep the light on as much as possible so that we can clean this place up.

October Gun Sales See Massive Spike -- Yet Another Record

By Rick Pearcey • November 2, 2016, 12:34 PM

Stephen Gutowski reports at the Free Beacon:

The FBI's background check system for gun sales processed more than 2.3 million checks in October, setting an all-time record for the month.

There were 2,333,539 gun-related checks processed through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, known as NICS, last month, according to FBI I documents posted on Monday. That represents an increase of more than 350,000 checks over the previous October, itself a record. It’s also the 18th month in a row to set a record.

With two months to go, 2016 has already seen 22,206,233 NICS checks, making it the second highest year for checks in the history of NICS with only 2015 seeing more.

"Many gun rights activists believe that Hillary Clinton and President Obama's positions on gun control are driving sales," Gutowski writes.

My view is that people are awakening to their responsibility as human beings to safeguard their families and friends. This is especially so in an age of increasing terror -- a point made by former Navy SEAL Don Raso in this video, with particular relevance to the AR-15.

"Choosing to defend your home with an AR-15 is a commonsense choice that tens of millions of Americans are making, and our neighborhoods and communities are safer for it," Raso affirms in the video.

Shock! TSA Inspects Pastor's Bible -- And What Voter Wisdom Requires November 8

By Rick Pearcey • November 1, 2016, 06:13 PM

Todd Starnes writes:

The pastor of a Texas megachurch said he was stunned when a government agent stopped him at a TSA checkpoint so his Bible could be inspected.

"I couldn't believe it. I literally couldn't believe it," said Gene Lingerfelt, the pastor of Faith Christian Center in Arlington, Texas.

Situational awareness requires that no one in America today should be stunned that government officials are targeting the Bible and Christians for "special treatment."

Situational awareness also requires realizing that this is the kind of "America" we will get a millionfold if people vote unwisely this presidential election and Hillary Clinton ends up occupying the White House.

You may have noticed in the news lately (for a couple of decades), that there is an extremist, fanatical secularism quite at home in the corridors of power -- from the hollowed halls of Congress (yes, I mean hollowed) to the personally invasive TSA lines at American airports and to so many strategic sectors in American society (Hollywood, the media, academia, the corporate world, and so on).

And if you notice how these folks respond to honest questions, you realize that this secularism is rather cultist -- that is, it operates like the worst kind of anti-intellectual, authoritarian dogma set-up that thinking people and the Biblical information so properly reject.

At the top of the observable political heap of committed secularists stand the likes of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton -- people who are ideologically and politically committed to removing emancipatory Judeo-Christian thoughtforms and social norms from every single strategic sector of American life. These people understand what is at stake, and they move to defend and expand their oppressive vision by all means possible. 

Clinton, Obama, and their multitudes of organized, billionaire-funded followers will push and grab and inspect and take for themselves whatever it is we will allow them to take. They will grab your Bible just as they already are grabbing your money, your land, your children, your words, your conversations, your sermons, and your jobs.

In this comprehensive, visionary, principial, and strategic assault, if it's yours, they want it, they claim it, they take it. All must be inspected and watched and measured to ensure compliance with the endless commandments and regulations emanating outwardly from that monopoly of power concentrated in Washington, D.C.

They will exercise this oppression and inhumanity in the name of various secular mythologies advanced by soothing fables for the weak, such as  "church-state separation," the "right to choose," and "you hurt my feelings." Media and other secularist operatives will do so as well, in the name of blind, vengeful self-righteous obedience to the humanity-denying gods and goddesses of almighty Diversity, totalitarian Tolerance, and authoritarian Equality.

And as we approach November 8, this also needs to be said:

What we see today is nothing -- absolutely qualitatively nothing -- compared to what we may see if Hillary Clinton occupies the Oval Office.

For Mrs. Clinton and her army of allies have been committed for decades to advancing their vision -- which is so totally out of and alien to the American mainstream -- and she will enforce that alien vision with as much power as post-Constitutional political calculations will allow. For many people -- for our friends, our neighbors, our families -- the resulting pain will be incalculable.  

And if previous performance is a reliable guide, we can expect a President Hillary Clinton to strike against those who would defy her will and who have dared speak fact and wisdom to politically correct mythologies and their destructive impact upon everyday Americans.

It is important to realize that her extremist gods and goddesses of secularism demand obedience. They require, as deity substitutes, that all resistance be crushed, destroyed, if not driven out of the land -- first out of the public spaces, and then driven out to the ends of the earth. The U.N. and massive trade deals would be apt vehicles for that.

Thus far Hillary Clinton has been more than willing -- as a matter of fidelity to her idolatrous political ethos -- to sacrifice marriage, morality, freedom, science, and humanness on her journey to self-fulfillment, to secure her rightful place in history, to hold power above all power, and to stay out of jail. And to be the first "woman" president in a gender-identity world where "woman" no longer means anything in relation to objective reality.

It seems to me, therefore, that no thinking or compassionate person would knowingly cast a November 8 vote whose real-world result enlarges the possibility of a Hillary Clinton occupying the White House.

For if that eventuality comes to be, I say again, what we see today is nothing -- absolutely qualitatively nothing -- compared to what we may very well see if Hillary Clinton takes the White House.

If you think that suggests "vote Trump," I agree.

Trump is flawed, and that is not to be dismissed. It is not to be minimized. We must also not dismiss or minimize that he shows no track record of being someone who wakes up each morning thinking about how he's going to attack the foundations of the American republic.

In qualitative contrast, such a destructive commitment is required by Hillary Clinton's extremist secularist vision and politics. On the basis of that vision, a very ugly result out into our society is primarily a matter of her actualizing what are the practical real-world outworkings of the inner secular, post-Constitutional principles to which she is committed.

In the news virtually daily, we see that Hillary Clinton's biography includes a public, governmental record of advancing herself and her politics on the basis of her flaws, including gross criminality while holding high public office.

Perhaps most concerning of all for caring people, America as America simply cannot exist to the degree that someone like Hillary Clinton occupies the White House and is allowed to systematically inject her extremist and alien ideological secularism into the foundations of the American body politic.

Without those solid foundations, it is naive to think America as America can withstand the pressures of external or internal attack. A land once committed to human freedom and dignity in community with God and neighbor (see the Declaration of Independence) will be all too easily tossed by barbarians upon the ash heap of history.

As surely as day is eclipsed by night, to vote in a way that enables Hillary Clinton to land in the office of the presidency is to court profound disaster, beginning the very day the final election returns come in.

By contrast, to vote Trump is to give ourselves, our friends, families, communities, and nation a new day to struggle forward on behalf of human freedom and human dignity.

I say, "vote Trump" not because Trump is the answer -- he's good on some issues, not good on others -- but because the enduring American mainstream points the way (again, see the Declaration of Independence) and the defeat of Clinton buys strategic time to prepare for strategic victory.

Giving a humane American resistance time and space to organize, resist, and overcome is a morally good outcome. Voting against Clinton, against that which principially assures utter defeat if not effectively countered -- in this election and beyond -- is a morally good means to accomplish that morally good outcome.
