NY parents horrified by drag show at school talent show

By Hayden S. Nicholson

I think we can all agree that there are certain things children shouldn’t be subjected to.

For instance, a drag show at their school.

About 200 families had gathered for an evening talent show to showcase student art and writing exhibits from schools across a Manhattan school district. Parents sat through performances by children who played the drums and sang.

Then…the “special surprise performance” took the stage.

From the New York Daily News:

Families at a Manhattan public school talent show got an unexpected lesson in human sexuality when a grown man took the stage in a black, sequined dress and flaming red wig and performed a raunchy drag number where he grinded the stage and spread his legs.

The official public school Learning Expo held May 25 in an auditorium at the Museo del Barrio was billed as a talent show for students from across Manhattan’s District 4 to show off what they learned in school.

But at the end of the two-hour event, parents and kids as young as 5 were shocked when a man identified as Public School 96 Parent Association President Frankie Quinones took the stage and did an explicit lip-synch performance of a song by the campy 1980’s Puerto Rican music sensation Iris Chacón.

At that moment, Quinones, who parents said performs in drag clubs around the city, took the stage in a sparkly black dress and pumps and began to shake his hips as a slinky Iris Chacón mambo blared from the public address system.

Parents said families’ laughter turned to disbelief and then dismay as Quinones opened his mouth and exercised his tongue in a suggestive manner while lip-syncing the Chacón number.

Oh, and there’s video in case you feel the need to watch it and be horrified.

I have several issues with this situation, but in the interest of your time and mine, I’ll highlight the obvious ones.

First, there is absolutely no reason that a grown man who performs drag shows should’ve EVER been allowed to perform at a school. You want to perform drag shows? Go to a gay bar or drag club. Not an elementary school.

Second, if I was a parent who had a child at that show, I’d be furious. How dare you think it’s acceptable to subject my kid – or any other kid, for that matter – to something like that? Kids grow up way too fast and learn way too much now because of their access to information. 

When I finally do have kids of my own, I want to be the one who explains things like that to them at an age when it’s appropriate to do so. I don’t need their school deciding when the time is right.

Lastly, is this really where we are? As a society, have we become so quick to accept everyone and everything out of fear of being called a bigot, some kind of phobic or a hate-filled human being? In a way, we’ve almost become conditioned to see something like this and say, “Good for you” and move on.

That’s not the right response. Outrage is the right response. Disgust is the right response. Shock is the right response. And you know what? If that’s your response, it doesn’t mean you’re a phobic, an ism or a hater. It means you’re a rational human being with a working brain. Congrats!

Kathy Griffin isn’t a First Amendment martyr

By Hayden S. Nicholson

Don’t be fooled by Kathy Griffin – she’s not even remotely close to being a First Amendment martyr.

She’s an idiot who made a choice (an incredibly poor one), took some heat, lost her job and then cried during a press conference asking us all to feel sorry for her.

In case you’ve been living under a rock or just avoiding the news this week, Griffin posed for a photo shoot holding a severed and bloodied head that was intended to resemble President Donald Trump.

The photos hit the Internet Tuesday morning and people on both sides condemned them, saying she went too far. Griffin took so much heat that she issued an empty apology around 5 p.m. Tuesday. She begged for forgiveness and acknowledged that she took things too far.

In a surprising turn of events, CNN fired Griffin from the New Year’s Eve show she hosted with their beloved Anderson Cooper.  

Griffin apologized to save face and keep her job. When that didn’t happen, she held a press conference with her lawyer, Lisa Bloom. With a straight face, Bloom looked at a room full of reporters and said:

“The message is clear – criticize the president lose your job and that's what happened to Kathy and more. As a result of the First Family’s bullying of her and of those she does business with, Kathy has been vilified, she’s been receiving a lot of death threats, she’s had her personal website and social media channels shut down, been fired from multiple jobs and had multiple events cancelled. The Secret Service has reached out to her. The Secret Service has reached out to a comedian. She’s had to retain a criminal attorney. For the first time in history, that we are aware of, the President of the United States and his family is personally attempting to ruin a comedian. This has been a living nightmare for Kathy.”

Bloom went on to call all of this the “beat down of Kathy Griffin.”

From the beginning, Griffin presented herself as a martyr and great defender of free speech.

“This is America, and you shouldn’t have to die for [a joke.] The death threats I’m getting, they’re constant, and they are detailed, and they are serious, and they are specific. Today it’s me, and tomorrow it could be you.

"If I don’t stand up and say this, I’m afraid there’s gonna be some 12-year-old nerdy girl like me in Oak Park, Illinois, who’s gonna maybe be watching me to see what I do. And this bully, this president, of all people, is gonna come after me? ... I'm not laying down for this guy."

Seriously? Boo-freaking-hoo.

A quick thought exercise. Let’s pretend it’s 2009 and universally hated conservative commentator Ann Coulter has decided to do a photo shoot holding a severed and bloodied head resembling then President Barack Obama. People would’ve lost their minds and called her the world’s biggest racist.

Sometimes, as adults, we made bad decisions that come with consequences. And sometimes those consequences don’t lead to sunshine and roses for us.

That’s the situation here. Griffin made a poor decision, it caused a stink and people got mad. She’s is an idiot if she didn’t think there would be some type of reaction.

Liberals attack LSU mascot because it’s racist

By Harper Hawkins

I wish I had a dollar for each time a social justice warrior decided someone or something was racist.

I’d have enough money to retire and live comfortably for the rest of my life.

Earlier this week, someone created a petition on Change.org calling for the removal of LSU’s (Louisiana State University) mascot, the tiger. Why? Well, BECAUSE IT’S RACIST, of course. 

From the petition:

Louisiana State University named their mascot the Tigers, and they named it during the height of Jim Crow South. This was a time when black men feared for their lives, and were treated as sub human. This symbol is the most prevalent confederate symbol in the United States.

These powerful white males choose the Tiger as a symbol to honor a confederate regiment called Louisiana's Tigers. They were known for their propensity for violence on and off the battle field. They were just as violent to the black slaves they owned, and later even more violent once those slaves were set free. 

The creator, who goes by LaMallori LSU and lives in Baton Rouge, used quotes from an alumni newsletter written by Dr. Charles Coates, an LSU administrator from 1893-1939.

In the newsletter, Coates explains why the school decided to choose the tiger as its mascot. He fully acknowledges that the name was taken from the Louisiana Tigers who represented the state during the Civil War.

Spoiler alert: it wasn’t because they hated black people and loved slaves. It was because they were known for “getting into the hardest part of the fight and staying there.”

From the newsletter:

The following year, 1895, we scheduled a game with what was supposed to be the Tulane team, but as there were not enough football men at Tulane they played anybody they could get hold of. We again employed Simmons to coach our team. We won this game.

It was the custom at that time, for some occult reason, to call football teams by the names of vicious animals; the Yale Bulldogs and the Princeton Tigers, for example. This is still the vogue. It struck me that purple and gold looked Tigerish enough and I suggested that we choose “Louisiana Tigers,” all in conference with the boys. The Louisiana Tigers had represented the state in Civil War and had been known for their hard fighting. This name was applied collectively to the New Orleans Zouaves, the Donaldsonville Cannoniers, and to a number of other Louisiana companies sent to Virginia, who seemed to have the faculty of getting into the hardest part of the fighting and staying there, most of them permanently. One company I knew of went in 200 strong; only 28 returned and many of these were wounded.

The petition alone is ridiculous but when you couple it with the recent monument removals in New Orleans, a much deeper problem presents itself. We are desperately trying to sanitize our history and pretend certain things never happened simply because people are offended by it.

Civil War monuments are being removed and in some states buildings and streets are being renamed. Should we celebrate slavery and the culture in the south at that time? Absolutely not. Should we rush to remove all traces of it because people don’t like what it stands for? Absolutely not.

Folks, our country’s history isn’t pretty. But we have a responsibility to remember that history.

The second we start removing all traces of it because people got their feelings hurt is the second we open the door to forget what happened. We shouldn’t celebrate past atrocities but we absolutely cannot forget them.

Salvadoran Officials Panic As Trump Sends Slews of Criminal Alien Gang Members Back Home

By Brittany M. Hughes

President Donald Trump is booting so many illegal alien gang-bangers back to their home countries, their motherlands are starting to freak out over getting all their criminals back.

According to the Washington Post, Trump’s penchant for weeding out illegal alien gang members, like the MS-13 cult that roams across a good chunk of our coastlines, has sent Salvadoran officials into an outright panic as they try to figure out what to do with all the convicts being sent back to El Salvador.

This year the U.S. government has deported 398 gang members to this country, compared with 534 in all of 2016, according to Salvadoran government statistics. This sharp increase in the rate of gang deportations — and the prospect of more gang roundups in the United States — has prompted Salvadoran authorities to hold emergency meetings and propose new legislation to monitor suspected criminals who are being sent home.

This clearly affects El Salvador. We already have a climate of violence in the country that we are combating,” said Héctor Antonio Rodríguez, the director of the country’s immigration agency. “If gang members return, of course this worries us.” 

Never mind, of course, that a bunch of violent gangbangers known for hacking people up with machetes has been worrying those of us in America for a good long while, particularly as MS-13 infested communities continue to find the dead bodies of teenage girls lying in ditches. It’s totally fine that Americans stumble upon the dismembered bodies of high schoolers in public parks – just don’t send the perps home. 

Or at least, that’s how the Washington Post seems to want us to feel, given their apparent tack that all things deportation are inhumane and evil. Observe:

 Law enforcement officials in Los Angeles and other U.S. cities have launched raids recently to capture dozens of MS-13 and other Latino gang members. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced this month the arrest of more than 1,300 gang members across the country in what it described as the largest anti-gang crackdown in agency history.

Salvadorans are dreading the return of those captured in the U.S. raids.

“Probably we won’t feel the symptoms today or tomorrow or the next week. But probably in six months or a year we’ll be feeling the symptoms of what these deportations are causing now,” San Salvador Mayor Nayib Bukele said in an interview.

The United States has had a sad history of releasing criminal aliens back into American communities after their home countries have refused to take them back. Back in 2015, a Haitian criminal with a rap sheet as long as the Mississippi butchered a 25-year-old Connecticut woman only six months after being released from prison. According to immigration officials, Jean Jacques had been given the all-clear to walk free after Haiti refused to take him back three separate times, despite his being in the United States illegally. 

And it happens all the time.

But in between the stark black-and-white lines of the Washington Post’s article is a clear message: the United States is causing trouble for an already troubled nation by sending their nationals home – nationals who, by any legal definition, shouldn’t even be in America in the first place.

You’ll pardon me if I don’t plan to have a good cry over this one.

Gloria Steinem is an idiot

By Harper Hawkins

Sometimes people leave me genuinely speechless. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it’s for very good reason.

Feminist icon and rabid Planned Parenthood supporter Gloria Steinem recently did an interview with Refinery 29 where she explained that climate change could’ve been prevented if only more women had aborted their children.

I’ll let that sink in.

From her interview:

Listen, what causes climate deprivation is population. If we had not been systematically forcing women to have children they don't want or can't care for over the 500 years of patriarchy, we wouldn't have the climate problems that we have. That's the fundamental cause of climate change. Even if the Vatican doesn't tell us that. In addition to that, because women are the major agricultural workers in the world, and also the carriers of water and the feeders of families and so on, it's a disproportionate burden.

Basically, people who faced unwanted or unplanned pregnancies and chose to have that child instead of killing it are to blame for “climate deprivation.” You know, because continuing to populate the earth is what caused climate change.

If you’re keeping score, that’s about the eleventy billionth unproven claim regarding climate change and the cause behind it.

Steinem goes on to discuss a number of feminist ideas such as masculinity “killing” men, equal pay for equal work and comparing Ivanka Trump’s maternity leave policy to policies implemented in Nazi Germany.

Teaching men and raising boys to understand women’s rights:

Tell them the masculine realm is killing them. It's [in their] self-interest. Men would live quite a few years longer without the masculine realm. And not only that, but they're deprived of their kids — they don't get to see their children, or they aren't raised to raise children, which is how they get deprived of their humanity. Women usually become whole people by being active outside the home. Men become whole people by being active inside the home.

On equal pay for equal work:

Also, we need to think about what's called ‘comparable worth.’ The classic example is that people who park cars get paid more than people in childcare centers. It isn't that we care for our cars more than our babies. It's that one group is men, and the other group is mostly women.

And Ivanka Trump’s maternity leave policy:

I saw her being interviewed by Cosmopolitan, and she was asked about her maternity leave policy, but it's only if you physically give birth. It's not for adoptive parents, not for fathers. That happens to be the same policy as every authoritarian regime on Earth that I know of, including Hitler's Germany. I'm not saying that she knows this, but [the Nazis] were paying women to have children. By accident, perhaps, that's her policy.

 This is why most rational people think feminists are insane.

Where was the ‘special counsel’ for all of Obama’s scandals?

By Harper Hawkins

Unless you live under a rock, I’m sure you’re familiar with the scandals that have plagued President Donald Trump’s first five months in office.

Because, as we all know, there is nothing liberals love more than making a mountain out of a molehill. And when the media helps you, it’s an added bonus.

We’ve heard all about the firing of national security advisor Michael Flynn, who was fired for misleading Vice President Mike Pence, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and Press Secretary Sean Spicer about conversations he had with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

And we’ve watched for weeks while liberals have cried over former FBI Director James Comey, who was fired in early May. We’ll just overlook the fact that the same liberals who turned Comey into a martyr for their “resistance” against Trump also wanted him gone last year.

Then, of course, who can forget the great Russia scandal. You know, the one that “proves” Queen Hillary should’ve won the election and would’ve if it wasn’t for those darned Russians? And, if you buy into the liberal agenda, the firing Flynn and Comey is proof that he’s trying to hide something.

Liberals are so mad over this that they put together a special counsel to investigate any ties Trump has to Russia.

Just one question: where was the special counsel for the myriad of scandals linked to the Obama administration? The short answer: THERE WASN’T ONE.

From Sean Hannity, here is a list of scandals tied to Obama that never received a special counsel:

BENGHAZI – 4 Americans killed, countless others affected.

IRS SCANDAL - The IRS intentionally targeting conservative organizations.

FAST & FURIOUS - The illegal sale of guns to drug dealers, resulting in the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

HILLARY'S EMAILS - The former Secretary of State's mishandling of classified information.

BOWE BERGDAHL - Released for five Taliban prisoners under suspicious circumstances.

IRANIAN PRISONER SWAP for $400 million cash payment.

HILLARY PAY TO PLAY during her tenure at the State Department

VETERANS ADMINISTRATION - Long wait times and poor conditions that resulted in the deaths of countless veterans.

LORETTA LYNCH and her tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton.

UNMASKING of private American citizens for political purposes.

SOLYNDRA- The funneling of funds by Obama administration to private companies.

SECRET SERVICE prostitution scandals during presidential overseas trips.

HURRICANE SANDY relief funds that never found their way to New York and New Jersey.

OBAMACARE WEBSITE that cost over $600 million and didn't work.

For what it’s worth, the Russia scandal has also received more airtime by major networks and news outlets than almost all of the above mentioned Obama scandals. But, who cares about any of that…because Russia!

While Terrorists Blow Up Little Kids, Katy Perry Says We Should All Just ‘Co-exist’

By Brittany M. Hughes

Just one day after an ISIS-inspired suicide bomber/terrorist scumbag blew himself to smithereens in front of a concert venue in Manchester, U.K. – an act that subsequently killed 22 innocent people, including some kids, and injured 59 more, mind you – pop star Katy Perry wants us to know that the answer is just to all get along. 

Seriously, you can’t make this junk up if you tried.

Perry told the hosts of the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show Tuesday, “I think that the greatest thing we can do is just unite and love on each other. No barriers, no borders, we all just need to co-exist.” 

Yep. In the wake of a suicide bombing that reportedly left nails and shrapnel lodged in children’s faces, Perry actually had this to offer: “We’re just all loving on each other and we should just stay loving on each other.”

Love. Unite. Co-exist. 

In response to a violent ideology that screams death to the West and delights in blowing up little kids in the name of some bloodthirsty god, Katy Perry actually thinks that one global round of Kum-Bay-Ya will solve our little ISIS problem. 

Then again, this is the same airheaded bimbo that claimed she had PTSD after Donald Trump’s election, because he reminded her of her childhood trauma, or something. So it makes sense that she’d want to launch National Hug a Radical Day to try and cuddle the fuzzies into violent religious extremists so they won’t blow up the local Walmart. 

Which probably wouldn’t be so irritating if she weren’t helping to spearhead Hollywood’s anti-Trump “resistance,” which unfortunately means that a) she’ll probably keep annoying us for a good while with her vapid ponderings, and b) some people are actually listening to her.

No, Christian Schools Shouldn’t Punish Students Who Get Pregnant

By Brittany M. Hughes

Heritage Academy, a private Christian school in Hagerstown, Md., has reportedly banned a pregnant teen from participating in the school’s graduation ceremony this year because she had sex outside of marriage in violation of the school’s code of conduct.

According to local reports, 18-year-old Maddi Runkles was suspended for two days and eventually banned from walking in her class’s graduation ceremony after she discovered she was pregnant back in January. She told school officials the baby’s father didn’t attend Heritage Academy, which has a strict school policy against sex outside of marriage. 

Maddi, who says she has a 4.0 GPA, is one of only 15 graduating seniors at Heritage. After telling the school that she was pregnant, she was also forced to step down from all of her leadership positions at the school, including her position as student class president. She said she accepted these consequences, but now feels she’s being shamed further, this time publicly, by not being allowed to walk across the stage and accept the diploma she earned.

For their part, school officials said they reached the decision to ban Maddi from the academy’s graduation event after “much prayer and discussion,” adding Maddi was lucky they even let her continue her classes.

All this brings up two important questions. Firstly, does the school have a right to restrict female students who get pregnant from walking in their graduation ceremony? Absolutely. 

Should they? No.

It bears mentioning that it’s perfectly understandable for a school, particularly a private Christian one, to have a policy against sex outside of marriage. That’s a pretty common standard for many Christian schools, including colleges and universities whose students are often well into adulthood. In fact, it’s almost odd to find a faith-based school that doesn’t include some stipulation against extramarital relations.

So perhaps all of this would be a non-starter, had the school caught Maddi and her boyfriend fornicating behind the bleachers during lunch. But that’s clearly not the issue here.

It’s incredibly important, it’s absolutely vital, that in times like these, we who tout the label of pro-life remember that the eyes of a secular world are continually upon us, watching at every turn to see how we treat women like Maddi. Do we truly believe in forgiveness? Do we truly believe in love?

Do we truly believe in life?

It’s pretty clear that Maddi could have chosen another route. In Maryland, women can easily obtain abortions for less than about $400. Planned Parenthood even offers high school-aged women reduced-price abortions if they can show a school I.D. card. In fact, women under the age of 18 can obtain an abortion without parental consent in Maryland, provided a doctor determines the woman is “mature” or has a good reason for not telling anyone. Seriously. Look it up.

Maddi was enrolled at a private school where she knew sex outside of marriage was a massive no-no. Her father was on the school’s board. Her pregnancy would be out there for everyone to see. She’d be a giant walking billboard for cautionary tales. She could have easily aborted her child and avoided this whole thing, and likely none would be the wiser.

But she didn’t. 

Faced with an unintended pregnancy with a guy she didn’t plan to marry and zero ability to turn back time, Maddi chose life for her baby. Maddi chose rightly. And her story created a wonderful opportunity for pro-life advocates to show compassion and support for a young lady who chose life, a choice that should be commended as the epitome of love and sacrifice.

So what message does it send when a Christian school punishes a young woman for making the very choice they claim to promote? What does it say to vulnerable terrified women teetering on the edge of abortion, when the very pro-life community that purports to love them punishes those who choose life? What does this tell women who are already afraid of coming forward with an unintended pregnancy, when they know doing so will label them a pariah?

I’ll tell you what it says. It tells an unbelieving world that we are more concerned with protecting our own immaculate reputations than we are with protecting life and supporting those who choose it. 

Other national pro-life groups have also criticized Heritage Academy for banning Maddi from graduation. Students For Life, for example, argued against the school’s decision and praised Maddi for choosing to carry her baby to term. Autumn Lindsey, a teen spokeswoman for the group, even issued her own response to Heritage Academy in defense of Maddi and her baby.

In the end, it all comes down to this: During his ministry, Christ opened his arms to prostitutes who had utterly wrecked their lives through a lifetime of sin, extending grace, compassion and forgiveness, even when society did not. 

So surely a Christian school that purports to bear His image can show that same compassion for Maddi.

Twitter slams Amy Schumer’s latest bomb

By Harper Hawkins

Big surprise – Amy Schumer’s new movie Snatched is awful.

Thankfully, the Internet told me this so I didn’t have to watch it. Although, I was pretty sure it would be worse than a root canal with no anesthesia because, well, I have eyes. Now, I’m sharing the information so you don’t have to sit through it either.

Here’s the synopsis: the movie starts with Schumer getting fired, losing her boyfriend and trying to find someone to go with her on a non-refundable trip to Ecuador.  Enter her mom, played by Goldie Hawn, who agrees to go with her.

I think they drink a lot, go to a bar and get kidnapped. I lost interest in the synopsis a few sentences ago. But, here’s a great review of the movie by some poor soul who saw it so we wouldn’t have to. God bless you, sir!

Apparently, other people actually paid money to this crapshow. and they had a lot of unkind things to say about it on Twitter.

My favorite Tweet: I'd rather have my eyelids ripped off than take my mom to that movie.

Schumer is no stranger to terrible movies that bring in bad reviews. Her Netflix special, The Leather Special, was released in March, which was also met with dozens of one-star ratings and several comments about how terrible it was.

The Federalist noted that of the 900-plus reviews, more than 700 reviewers gave the “comedy” special one star. Some even gave it zero stars.

From The Federalist:

Schumer will probably regret doing this special after she sees it has an average rating of one star (out of five) a week after it debuted on Netflix. Of the 860 reviews the special has received thus far, here’s the gist of what viewers had to say.

‘This is as Funny as an Autopsy’

This is as funny as an autopsy. . . as graphic and as funny as I would imagine a public beheading to be. Rating: 1 star

‘Amy is 1 Special Away From Being Broke and Homeless’

Absolutely horrible. Amy is 1 special away from being broke and homeless. Female comics are the best! Amy is not. . . . . . Rating: 1 star

‘Now I have to Look at Amy Schumer in Full Leather Every Time I Log In’

Not only was this terrible. . . now I have to look at Amy Schumer in full leather every time I log in. Please take this off the banner. This special was an insult to stand up. Amy use to be pretty funny but i couldn’t make it past 10 minutes. Rating: 1 star

‘What the Eff Happened, Amy??’

What the eff happened, Amy? Wife and I were actually upset at over how how unfunny and actually kinda sad this was, and we consider ourselves fans, I mean we saw Trainwreck at the theater and bought the blu-ray. This was painful.

So, you get the drift. It’s probably worse than her new movie.

When these reviews started pouring in by the hundreds, Schumer’s response was to blame the “alt-right, conservatives and trolls” who are just too dumb to get her comedy.

Yeah, that must be it. As someone who is actually funny, I get humor. And I hate to burst her bubble, but Amy Schumer just isn’t funny.

I can’t wait to see who she blames for bad reviews this time. My money is on the Russians. After all, that’s the liberal scapegoat, right?

Chrissy Teigen has ‘crippling anxiety’ and wants Trump to pay for it

By Hayden S. Nicholson

Hollywood’s crybaby elite is still managing to find new ways to throw temper tantrums about the 2016 Presidential Election.

In case you’ve been under a rock since January, they’ve cried, cursed, protested and created hashtags to show how butt-hurt they are over President Donald Trump’s defeat of their Queen Hillary.

Enter model Chrissy Teigen, wife of Grammy-winning artist John Legend and co-host of Lip Sync Battle. She’s so distraught over Trump’s victory, she decided he is to blame for her anxiety and wants HIM to pay for it.

Yeah, you read that right.

She took to Twitter last week (because, of course she did) and blamed Trump for causing her “crippling anxiety.”

So, it gets better.

Teigen wants to “up her dosage” to deal with this “dumpster fire administration” and had to have a tooth shaved down because her anxiety is so bad she’s grinding her teeth. 

“Today I had a tooth shaved down because crippling anxiety makes me grind and rock my teeth on one side. I blame trump.”

Bless her heart, she also had to get Botox in her jawline to “relieve tension from constantly clinching.” It wasn’t like this before Trump won, she continues, and finishes the tweet with: “Pay my bill, POS POTUS.”

Turns out, Teigen has been trolling Trump and complaining about him for years.

In a red carpet interview with USA Today in February, she admitted to trolling him for about seven years.

For your reading pleasure, a few tweets Teigen graced us with in October 2012.

“I am hate tweeting donald trump, aimlessly for no reason. I need a life.”

“I literally pose half naked for a living and u are still the biggest attention whore I know RT @realDonaldTrump Story will be released today.

In case you missed the 2016 American Music Awards, Teigen wore a dress that showed everything God gave her which, of course, led to a “wardrobe malfunction.” 

Yeah, clearly Trump is the attention whore in this story.

Yes, It Matters If Trump Lies

By Brittany Hughes

Conservative writer and political commentator Ben Shapiro, who currently heads up the Daily Wire, wrote a piece last Sunday criticizing President Donald Trump for touting a few falsehoods on his first day in office – primarily concerning irrelevant points, like crowd sizes and vote counts.

(As if we hadn’t yet reached a point in this political circus at which size doesn’t matter. Bridge crossed, anyone?)

A day later, John Nolte, also a writer at the Daily Wire, penned a fairly critical response to Shapiro’s analysis, entitled this: 

“Response to Ben Shapiro: Five Reasons I Don't Care If Donald Trump Lies.” I’ll let you read both aforementioned pieces for yourself, should you wish to. But here’s a quick summation of Nolte’s argument: It doesn’t really matter if or when Donald Trump is less than truthful, for several reasons. Firstly, Obama lied all the time and the media snoozed on the job of calling him on it, so what’s it matter if Trump employs the same tactics? As long as Trump is getting things done that will better the country, who cares if he fibs a bit on how many adoring fans showed up to his inauguration? It’s a little white lie about a non-issue.

Besides, politicians lie all the time. 

But it does matter if Trump lies. It unequivocally, absolutely matters. Full disclaimer: I haven’t historically been a big fan of Donald Trump. Back during the campaign, I was put off by his attitude and his rhetoric, and I still have some serious concerns about some of his proposals.

But even as a cautious skeptic, I’ve been impressed with many of the steps he’s taken not one full week into his term. I hate abortion. I like energy independence. I’m a fan of better border security. And I’m more than happy to support Trump’s successes, when he has them, because they mean success for our country.

Because I love my country, I would love nothing more than for Donald Trump to turn out to be the greatest president who ever lived.

But it matters if he lies. It doesn’t matter if the crowd was or wasn’t bigger than Obama’s. It doesn’t even really matter, at this point, whether Hillary Clinton’s popular vote margin was or wasn’t entirely accurate.

But it does matter if Trump lies about it. And it matters if he doubles down on “alternative facts” that have been debunked.

It matters because Republicans, who claim to champion conservative values, have historically touted themselves as the party of principle, the party of justice and fairness, and the party of liberty – all of which are based on the fundamental principle that honesty matters, and that the mark of a true, patriotic American is his ability to stand, unwavering, on the truth.

It matters because we – and, by extension, a president who bears our party’s stamp – claim to value inconvenient facts over comforting falsehoods. It matters because we criticize “snowflakes” for creating alternate, fictional worlds in which the truth is subjective, and pride ourselves on being the party that confronts reality head-on, guns blazing.

It matters that we win elections, yes. And it matters that we advance our agenda, achieve our goals and promote liberty. But because these goals carry such weight, and because truth is the very foundation on which we base our faith in these principles, it matters when we lie.

And it matters for Trump, as well.

Wendy Davis Thinks We Should Vote For a Uterus, and Not Much Else

By Brittany Hughes

Everyone remember Wendy Davis? She’s the Texas State senator who organized a one-hour filibuster back in 2013 to halt a Texas bill that banned abortion for pain-capable babies after 20 weeks. She also took a brave stand against making abortion clinics safe for women and requiring them to have admitting privileges to a local hospital in case a patient started hemorrhaging on an exam table. Because #patriarchy.

(If none of that rings a bell, Davis was also caught lying about her personal life when she ran for Texas governor against Greg Abbott, where she was buried in a 20-percent landslide after failing to get half the female vote.)

Now, predictably, the pro-abortion, anti-truth Davis is voting for Hillary Clinton, because apparently vaginas are more important than things like ethics and protecting living children. Davis tweeted as much on Tuesday morning at the start of Election Day, showing an emoji-like Hillary Clinton sporting a uterus-emblazoned sweater along with the misspelled hashtag “#ImWitHer.” Summed up, Davis manages to show her intellectual capacity is about as deep as a rain puddle while once again proving that Democrats value women based on their lady bits, and not much else.

Planned Parenthood, the country's largest mass murder machine, turns 100 this weekend. When do we say enough is enough?

No surprise here - Obama is more concerned about “climate change” than fighting terrorists here and abroad.

North Carolina vs. the NCAA & ACC

By Chuck Vipperman

The Atlantic Coast Conference announced Wednesday morning that it would move this year’s football championship game, along with seven other neutral-site title games, out of North Carolina. They are the latest entity to ride the righteous indignation wave fueled by vox populi, birthed by the ill-advised House Bill Two.

On Monday, the NCAA announced it is pulling seven championship tournaments, including the coveted first-round men’s basketball tournament games, out of North Carolina. This, because of the controversial House Bill Two which addresses public restroom use by transgender people.

I’ll reiterate my Libertarian stance on the issue. The ACC, NCAA, Bruce Springsteen and any entity that wants to take their marketable product out of the state of North Carolina because of HB2 is perfectly within their rights to do so. They should be under no legal compulsion to do business with anyone of anything whose views run contrary to their own. I just wish the same rights were afforded other groups – like, say, Christian bakers. But that’s not the point here.

So the NCAA and ACC are exercising the right NOT to do business with an entity that does not share their deeply-held beliefs. Hmmm…where have I heard that before?

It seems to me the entire basis of HB2 is an exercise in how government action usually leads to unnecessary complications. I am going to work from the safe assumption that transgender people have been using the restroom of the gender with which they have identified for years. Maybe there have been isolated cases where someone who looked like Lawrence Taylor in a dress raised some eyebrows entering the ladies room – but I’m reasonably sure it was not an epidemic. Live and let live. As it should be.

Ever-ready to fix a problem that did not exist, enter Charlotte City Council. Their measure last year would have codified a right that was already being exercised largely without issues. The bill would have also had the unintended effect of allowing actual miscreants a valid legal defense should they be caught where they did not belong.

In a classic example of government overreaction, the North Carolina General Assembly responded with the hastily-written, overly-broad and poorly-thought-out House Bill Two. Instead of addressing simply the bathroom issue, it also prevented localities from affording other more common-sense protections for the gay community in areas like housing and employment.

So what we’re left with is an unnecessary effort by a local government birthing a piss-poor counter-effort by a state government. Overriding all this, the Federal Government, and its faulty interpretation of Title IX to include protections for every group under the sun – regardless of whether they are written into Title IX.

It appears to me that “We The People” have done a pretty good job policing this issue before government began sticking their noses in it. Be it local, state or federal government, legislation is a usually a poor substitution for people working things out among themselves.
