NYTimes Bans "Killing the Deep State" From Bestseller List

By Rick Pearcey • March 30, 2018, 01:29 PM

Newsmax reports:

Jerome Corsi's red-hot new book "Killing the Deep State: The Fight to Save President Trump" is a runaway bestseller -- but you'd never know that from reading The New York Times.

"Killing the Deep State" debuted last week at No. 10 on the non-fiction hardcover list compiled by Nielsen BookScan, the book industry's only nationally recognized sales tracking list.

And yet, the influential New York Times Book Review inexplicably has not listed "Deep State" on its hardcover bestseller list, despite the fact it outsold many of the books that did make its list.

"For example," Newsmax continues, "going by sales reported by Nielsen, 'Killing the Deep State' should have landed at No. 4 on the Times' April 1 list of its Top 15 print hardcover bestsellers, right after Tara Westover's 'Educated' (Random House).

"But instead, the Times' No. 4 spot is held by 'I'll Be Gone in the Dark,' by Michelle McNamara, (Harper) even though it sold hundreds of copies less than 'Deep State,' did."

According to Newsmax, "'Killing the Deep State' also sold substantially more copies than the 11 other books on the list, including such titles as 'Obama' by Pete Souza, 'Leonardo Da Vinci' by Walter Isaacson, and 'Born a Crime' by Trevor Noah."

Submissive Sharia Canada: Police Investigating After Ex-Muslim Rips Qur'an

By Rick Pearcey • March 28, 2018, 10:56 AM

Robert Spencer writes at Frontpagemag.com:

Global News reported Sunday that "Peel Regional Police say they are investigating an incident as 'hate-motivated' after a woman can be seen on video at a Mississauga Islamic centre appearing to tear the pages of a Qur'an and putting the pages on cars while calling the religious text 'Satanic.'" So apparently now it's a crime in Canada to rip the Qur'an, and even to think ill of it.

This is not the most effective way to call attention to the exhortations to violence and hatred that are within the Qur'an. It allows the Muslims at the Dar Al-Tawheed Islamic Centre, where this incident took place, to play the role of the victim, which they are doing to the hilt in the wake of this incident, and which we have seen that Muslim spokesmen are all too eager to play -- victimhood, after all, is currency in today's society. . . .

Is tearing up a book a crime? Is leaving paper on someone's car a crime? The only crime here is that the woman who did this, an ex-Muslim named Sandra Solomon, is protesting against a protected victim group that is eager to seize upon anything that it can portray as a "hate crime," so as to buttress its claims to be victims of widespread "Islamophobia," persecution and harassment, and thus in need of special consideration and accommodation.

"So -- Sandra Solomon was rude and obnoxious," Spencer continues. "She called the Qur'an a 'Satanic, evil book.' She said other Islamic books were 'garbage.'

"This is all reported in this article as if it is evidence of a crime," Spencer notes. "But is thinking negatively about the Qur'an and Islam really a crime in Canada? It may be: after the passage of the 'anti-Islamophobia' motion M-103, there is no certainty that Canada guarantees the freedom of speech."

O Khanada: "But disliking the Qur'an and Islam, and tearing the Qur'an, are actually only crimes under Islamic law," Spencer writes. "Is Canada now adopting Sharia blasphemy laws? We shall see, in the way Canadian authorities treat this case."

Tennessee Passes Bill: "In God We Trust" in Every Public School

By Rick Pearcey • March 26, 2018, 01:22 PM

Michael Chapman reports at CNSNews:

The Tennessee legislature has passed a bill that would require all public schools in the state to display the words "In God We Trust" in a prominent location. The governor, Republican Bill Haslam is expected to sign the legislation into law very soon.

The bill, HB 2368, was sponsored by state Rep. Susan Lynn (R). According to the website of the Tennessee General Assembly, the "National Motto in the Classroom Act" would require "each local education agency to display the national motto, 'In God We Trust,' in a prominent location in each school."

"Our national motto is on our money," said Rep. Lynn. "It's on our license plates. It's part of our national anthem. Our national motto and founding documents are the cornerstone of freedom and we should teach our children about these things."

"Placing the motto on American currency was established by Congress in 1864," Chapman reports. "

"The first coins with 'In God We Trust' inscribed on them were the one- and two-cent coins in 1864, "Chapman continues. "Since 1938, all U.S. coins bear the motto, according to the Treasury Department. Congress declared 'In God We Trust' as the nation's motto in 1956."

Evil Rules: Trump Just Kept One of Hillary Clinton's Darkest Campaign Promises

By Rick Pearcey • March 23, 2018, 05:49 PM

Peter Hasson reports at the Daily Caller:

President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans broke their promise to conservative voters by giving Planned Parenthood approximately $500 million in taxpayer funding in the omnibus spending bill that Trump signed into law on Friday.

Trump, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and other Republican leaders promised their voters for years that they would defund Planned Parenthood if given the chance to govern. . .

Fulfills Hillary Clinton's Promise: "The spending bill breaks Trump's campaign promise to his voters, but it does fulfill a promise that his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, made on the campaign trail in 2016," Hasson writes.

"Clinton promised to continue funding Planned Parenthood’s funding if elected president, while Trump assured his voters that he would defund the abortion giant if he won," Hasson reports.

According to CNSNews, "The latest annual report of Planned Parenthood, for 2016-17, shows that it performed 321,384 abortions in its fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2016."

Rasmussen: 68 GOP House Seats at Risk

By Rick Pearcey • March 22, 2018, 11:21 AM

Mark Swanson reports at Newsmax:

House Republicans are at risk of losing 68 seats in November in a potential bloodbath that could mirror their own wave in the 2010 midterms, according to political anaylst Scott Rasmussen.

Democrats need to flip just 23 seats to regain the majority in the House, his analysis shows.

Austin Serial Bomber Unmasked

By Rick Pearcey • March 21, 2018, 10:58 AM

Bradford Betz and Elizabeth Zwirz report at Fox News:

The serial bomber who terrorized Austin, Texas for three harrowing weeks was identified Wednesday morning -- just hours after he blew himself to bits with his own device as cops closed in.

Mark Anthony Conditt, 24, was named as the bomber, an ATF source told Fox News. A picture of Conditt in 2013 from his mother's Facebook page was authenticated by The Austin-American Statesman.

Conditt was killed near the motel he was traced to by authorities using surveillance footage from a Federal Express drop-off store and cell phone triangulation technology, according to The Austin American-Statesman.

He died after fleeing the motel in a car, with police hot on his tail. He drove into a ditch, sparking the fatal confrontation . . .

Abortionist: I Cut the Vocal Cord So the Baby Can't Scream

By Rick Pearcey • March 20, 2018, 09:06 AM

Michael Chapman reports at CNSNews.com:

Dr. Leah Torres, an OB/GYN in Salt Lake City, Utah, said that when she performs certain abortions she cuts the vocal cord of the baby so "there's really no opportunity" for the child to scream. She also described herself as a "uterus ripper outer" because she performs hysterectomies.

Torres made her disturbing comments on Twitter on March 11, in response to a question.  

As the tweets show, @ZarbaNotZorba asked Torres about the aborted babies: "Do you hear their heartbeats when you lay down at night? Do you hear their screams?"

Torres replied, "No. You know fetuses can't scream, right? I transect the cord 1st so there's really no opportunity, if they're even far enough along to have a larynx."

"I won't apologize for performing medicine," Torres says, according to CNSNews.

Perhaps lost on the good "doctor" is that killing patients or innocents is not medicine, it's an inhumane and monstrous barbarism that contradicts humanness and love.

Real physicians are aware, of course, that hysterectomies are performed to save women, not to kill them.

First, Torres rips apart the language, then she rips apart the human being. I ask you, O Executioner, how long have you been a member of the Mengele Society?

74% of Americans: Deep State Exists

By Rick Pearcey • March 19, 2018, 02:28 PM

John Nolte writes at Breitbart:

With the news that 74 percent of Americans believe a Deep State exists, a Monmouth University poll reveals just how little influence the disgraced national media have over public opinion and perception.

The Deep State, which is correctly defined in the polling question as "a group of unelected or appointed government officials who have too much influence in determining federal policy," has been a national issue since the rise of President Donald Trump. Ever since this conversation started, though, the media have been slashing away at the discussion as a fevered conspiracy ginned up by conservatives.

The media pushback has obviously failed because there is no notable partisan distinction in the poll. Monmouth reports, "This is a worrisome finding. The strength of our government relies on public faith in protecting our freedoms, which is not particularly robust. And it's not a Democratic or Republican issue. These concerns span the political spectrum."

Moreover, only 21 percent think the Deep State does not exist.

Just as concerning is this, from Monmouth: "Fully 8-in-10 believe that the U.S. government currently monitors or spies on the activities of American citizens."

Something's Wrong: Ohio Student Suspended for Staying in Class During National Walkout Day

By Rick Pearcey • March 16, 2018, 05:49 PM

Caleb Parke reports at Fox News:

An Ohio high school student said he tried to stay apolitical during the National Walkout Day over gun violence but was suspended for his choice to remain in a classroom instead of joining protests or the alternative, going to study hall.

Jacob Shoemaker, a senior at Hilliard Davidson High School, said he didn't want to take sides in the gun-control debate consuming the country. If he went outside for the walkout, he said, he would be supporting gun control. If he stayed in the common area of the school, he said, he would be seen as supporting gun violence and disrespecting the 17 lives lost in the Parkland, Fla. High school shooting the month before.

Jacob had met with the school's principal on Tuesday, a day before the rally, for about an hour to find out what exactly the walkout was supporting. But he said the principal reportedly told him it was for the "students to express themselves."

"This left Jacob wondering if it was a memorial for the lives lost or a show of support for gun control," Fox News continues.

The senior student "decided, instead, to stay in class for about 20 minutes doing homework after his teacher and fellow classmates left and locked the door," Fox reports. But "when they returned, he was slapped with a suspension."

Trump Sanctions Russian Nationals for Meddling in 2016 Presidential Election

By Rick Pearcey • March 15, 2018, 12:53 PM

Saagar Enjeti reports at the Daily Caller:

President Donald Trump’s administration will sanction 19 Russian nationals for meddling in the 2016 presidential election, multiple senior national security officials told reporters Thursday morning.

The sanctions will also target Russian nationals and entities for cyber attacks on the U.S. energy grid along with other U.S. based companies and persons.

"The sanctions include new authorities granted to the U.S. government under the Countering America's Adversaries Act, passed by Congress over the summer," the DC continues.

"Officials stressed that the announced sanctions are not the only actions the U.S. government will take in response to Russian activity," Enjeti reports. "The sanctions come as the U.S. joined the heads of European security agencies in calling out Russia for a nerve agent attack in the U.K."

Hillary Failing: Democrats Lose Patience After Clinton Comments Trashing White Married Women

By Rick Pearcey • March 14, 2018, 03:02 PM

Brooke Singman reports at Fox News:

Democrats who typically fall into the Clinton camp are trashing the two-time failed presidential candidate for singling out white female Trump voters, blaming their ballots cast in 2016 on "pressure" from male figures in their lives.

From Democratic senators to even her former campaign manager, there is a seeming consensus across the board that even "sugarcoating" her comments this week [doesn't] make them any easier to swallow.

"During former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's appearance in India over the weekend, she claimed she lost the 2016 presidential race in part because white women didn't stand up to the men in their lives pressuring them to vote for Donald Trump," Singman writes.

"We do not do well with white men and we don't do well with married, white women," Clinton said," according to Singman. "And part of that is an identification with the Republican Party, and a sort of ongoing pressure to vote the way your husband, your boss, your son, whoever, believes you should."

Disney Bigots Strip "Wrinkle in Time" of Christianity and It Bombs

By Rick Pearcey • March 12, 2018, 05:12 PM

John Nolte begins at Breitbart:

The trailer for director Ana Duvernay's A Wrinkle In Time looks awful -- empty and bloated. According to Rotten Tomatoes, most mainstream reviewers of the Disney flick, those predisposed to give a black, female director like DuVernay every benefit of the doubt, found the movie to be a diet of empty calories.

Thanks to alternative media, the reason for this might come from Disney's decision to strip Wrinkle of its central theme -- Christianity.

Nolte's concluding words:

Normal Americans do not care about skin color. We are over it and see no reason to celebrate something as middle-aged as "diverse casting." Christianity, however, is timeless.

Moreover, to remove Christianity from the movie, most especially when it is so integral to the original story, is not an act of inclusiveness, but rather another bigoted and hostile act from an increasingly provincial and small-minded entertainment industry.

Nancy Pearcey Speaking at Heritage Foundation

By Rick Pearcey • March 9, 2018, 01:37 PM

Nancy will be speaking on her new book Love Thy Body next week March 13 at the Heritage Foundation. The event will be live streamed.

From the announcement at the Heritage website:

Many people absorb pre-packaged media mantras on watershed moral issues without being aware of their hurtful real-world implications.

In Love Thy Body, best-selling author Nancy Pearcey goes beyond politically correct talking points to examine the dehumanizing secularist ethos that shapes critical moral and socio-political issues of our day.

Formerly an agnostic, she argues that secularism denigrates the body and destroys the basis for human rights.

In Love Thy Body, Pearcey sets forth a holistic and humane alternative available to all -- one that offers reality-oriented solutions that embrace the dignity of the human body and provide a sustainable basis for inalienable human rights.

The event is hosted by Becky Norton Dunlop, the Ronald Reagan Distinguished Fellow at the Heritage Foundation.

SS University: Campus Fascism on the March

By Rick Pearcey • March 7, 2018, 05:42 PM

At the NYPost:

Another day, another campus fascist assault, this time aimed at squelching the speech of center-right Christina Hoff Sommers.

Sommers, an American Enterprise Institute scholar, argues that much of modern feminism betrays the movement's founding ideals. The lefty kids think that's violence.

She was invited to speak Monday about trigger warnings and safe spaces at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Ore. But the space didn't prove safe for her.

Read more about this ugliness and apparently pathetic "law" "school" here and then consider: "It's time for Congress to start withholding federal funds from colleges that don't adopt clear rules to protect free speech -- and punish those who disrupt it."

Campuses have become seedbed of fanaticism. If you don't want secularist-religious-political fanatics running our country -- and turning it into more of an intellectual, social, and ethical hellhole than certain parts of it already is -- then it really is time for people of good will and sound principles to step up and end the utter stupidity and inhumanity that passes for learning and education at far too many campuses across America today.

Lions 700, Christians 0: What Marx Got Right -- and What the "Religious" Get Wrong

By Rick Pearcey • March 6, 2018, 12:26 PM

I committed strategic analysis on my Facebook page yesterday. Here's proof:

Why do some people (who call themselves Christians, and I suppose at some time understood they're still human) insist on living inside a "spiritual" closet the Biblical information knows nothing about?

The knowable and publicly actionable Creator gives us fields, bodies, minds. He creates a world, not a closet.

No rock, plant, dog or human is supposed to live in there.

Marx said, "The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it." This emphasis is partly why the cultural Marxists are winning.

Despite having an inhumane philosophy, Marxists etc. nevertheless are out there changing the world. Their "change" encompasses people AND structures.

In contrast, many Christians are stuck inside their spiritual closets. There is much activity in there. And some of it is very good. But by and large too many are neglecting the still-operative Creator-endowed human-calling to change the world.

So instead of changing the world, they're changing the closet.

They're making "disciples" and then sticking those folks inside the closet to be spiritual until they die.

Perhaps a variety of religious opiates comforts them. Because it is painful for humans to try live inside a tiny, inhumane closet instead of running outside to incarnate the wholistic and liberating information given in the Biblical data.

Meanwhile, if I'm a secularist, I try to keep this strategic arrangement unnoticed and in play until the cows come home.

After about one quarter of this football game, the score's 700 to 0 -- it's a little bit easier to win when you're the only team on the field. It's not that difficult to defeat a team that stays in the dressing room. Even if it's deeply engaged in spiritual activities in there, with lots of goosebumps.

Yes, the secularists have their setbacks. The natives get restless, as it were.

But strategically -- culturally, politically, educationally, and across the society -- by and large, for Marxists and other secularists, it's the smell of victory in the morning.

"Stop Blaming White People" Sign Causes Stir at N.J. Post Office

By Rick Pearcey • March 5, 2018, 02:24 PM

Well, for one thing, the sign was way too uppity. As Taylor Tiamoyo Harris reports at nj.com:

USPS Postal Inspector Greg Kliemisch said Friday afternoon the sign, which read "March is national stop blaming white people month! Accept responsibility for your own bad choices. Hug a white person!," was put up sometime Thursday. It was taken down in the afternoon by employees, he said.

That message was way too uppity.

So what can we do?

Try this: "We could stop racism, evil, and whitey if we just outlawed and removed all pigmentative words from the human language. The UN could do it -- It really could!"

I posted the above on Twitter some 2 hours ago, and the UN has yet to act.  

I'll say this once and only once: I will not go back to the UN until they a) take up my Twitter recommendation for stopping racism and b) pass news laws to show they're serious about racism.

Think of it as word control. It goes without saying that letting a compassionate planetary government control our speech is worth it if just one person can be saved from ugly racism.

Don't make me go on CNN.

Gun Seller Calls Out Dick's Sporting Goods on AR-15s

By Rick Pearcey • March 2, 2018, 02:47 PM

Scott Morefield reports at the Daily Caller:

One gun seller isn't happy with Dick's Sporting Goods decision to agree to the demands of gun control advocates.

Palmetto State Armory, a Columbia, South Carolina-based firearms company, went on record in support of the Second Amendment on Thursday, issuing a statement calling out Dick's for referring to the AR platform as an "assault rifle" instead of the correct term — Armalite Rifle — and for caving to the demands of gun control proponents.

The Palmetto State Armory statement was a strong rejection of the propensity to blame the "tool" instead of the perpetrator, and included a call to "approach this negativity with humanity" with the hope that both sides can "have a civil and intellectual conversation that continues to make this amazing country better."

What follows is the Palmetto State Armory statement, as published at WCBD -- TV Channel 2 in Mount Pleasant, S.C.:

Palmetto State Armory [PSA] would like to go on record stating that we support the Second Amendment. While this may seem like an obvious statement, we as a company felt it necessary to make our opinion known to the general public. Palmetto State Armory also strongly supports the First Amendment which enables individuals to voice their opinions, even those in contrast with our own. We believe that a primary purpose of the Second Amendment is actually to protect the First Amendment.

In regards to the actions taken today by the CEO of Dick's Sporting Goods to no longer sell the AR-15 platform, while we do not agree with this decision, we recognize the fact that capitalism gives him the right to make this call. PSA however, does have an issue when misinformation is spread in the very next sentence by referring to the platform as an "assault rifle." AR stands for Armalite Rifle which pays homage to the company that originally created the platform.

To blame the rifle or a high capacity magazine for the actions of an evil man is illogical and is only applied when referring to firearms. Senseless acts of violence are a terrible plague on society that we all recognize we need to try and prevent as a community, but to blame a tool such as a firearm is at very best missing the point of the problem.

When a vehicle is used to commit an act of violence we as a society do not blame the car, we do not blame the speed, or the steering wheel, but rather the driver. It is our hopes that we can approach this negativity with humanity and both sides of the argument can come together and have a civil and intellectual conversation that continues to make this amazing county better.

"We are all in this together, and we all want the same thing," the Palmetto statement concludes. "Safety, happiness, and the 'American Dream'."

UTexas Students Launching "No Whites Allowed" Magazine

By Rick Pearcey • March 1, 2018, 01:51 PM

"A group of students at the University of Texas, San Antonio, plans to start publishing a No Whites Allowed (NWA) magazine," Mitchell Gunter reports at Campus Reform.

"White people are welcome to attend the launch party Thursday night, but while their support is 'appreciated,' the founders insist that 'it's a zine for QPOC and by QPOC [queer persons of color]'," according to Campus Reform.

Well, bless their little racist hearts. That's mighty "white" of them magazine starters, welcoming students who fail the QPOC color test and all. Will them white peeples hav to go out back to drink some water?

So what we have is a two-fer: Good old Racism (whites not allowed) and updated but still plain old-fashioned deviancy (queer persons).

Have you noticed how you can narrative this jive and cover a whole lotta sins by calling perversity diversity? Even more trans-rational magic drops when you hit a few licks about how this stuff boils down to "social constructs."

Smack in some "liberation" crack and, man, you've got yourself a cult that can go on forever and ever. Well, until you step outside and gravity hits. Confirming what all cultists know: "Facts are evil."

So if you want to embrace new and regressive forms of inhumane extremism beyond the KKK, the BBB (BlackBlackBlack) and the QQQ (QueerQueerQueer), certain students at the University of Texas at San Antonio may be just the folks for you.

Now there's no reason to get upset about this. It's just a little bit of cancer, and doctors are always saying that a little bit of cancer is no big deal.
