One day, as his show was ending and the happy theme music was playing, Uncle Don reminded his loyal, sweet   ... MORE

Words Matter In ‘ISIS’ War, So Use ‘Daesh’

Islamic State Promises Crucifixion, Lashing for Unbelievers

by Adam Kredo.    But so far, no threats of waterboarding.

Tammy Bruce: How Democrats Broke The Spirit Of America

Jobs, ISIS, Ebola and Obamacare.   These four words explain why Democrats have lost the confidence of the American people: jobs, ISIS, Ebola and Obamacare.
