My internet reading goes all over the place when I read articles, because I am never happy to just be told something; I have to get to the source. I drive my friends and family crazy, because when they tell me something they heard, I always demand a source and they usually don’t know. So […]

I think the number one source of animosity on Ricochet is when someone is accused of “abandoning their principles” for whatever the current argument might be. You voted for the guy, you didn’t vote for the guy, etc. I admit I am guilty of doing it, and the length of the list of those to whom I have said it makes me uncomfortable. I also admit that the hairs on the back of my neck stand straight up when someone accuses me of this, and I guarantee you that I am immediately ready to fight.

So when someone said to me, “Remember, no one cares more about morals and character than all the Republicans indicting Clinton, that is until it is their guy and their shot at power that is on the line, then its Fake News all the way down.”

When I was in the Army, the Commander-In-Chief was a guy named Jimmy Carter, and everyone hated him. However, you couldn’t admit it in a very loud voice, because trashing someone in your chain-of-command will get you – not might get you – will get you in a lot of trouble, up to and including […]

This story came out of nowhere, and I knew immediately that the good people of Ricochet would be happy to hear it: Court-Ordered Deportations Surge After Trump Ends Obama-era Delay Tactics

Government data shows the Trump administration has already shifted the “culture” of immigration attorneys, who used to have more tools under the Obama administration to delay court decisions on whether to remove illegal immigrants, but are now being forced to push for a final verdict more quickly. Under Obama, immigration attorneys were more likely to leave cases for illegal immigrants in limbo, thus preventing them from ever ruling on whether they needed to be removed from the U.S. An official from the Executive Office for Immigration Review explained to the Washington Examiner that attorneys would push for an administrative closure, or a pause in the proceedings before an administrative judge.

I see Stad has already posted a nice post on this subject, but I wanted to be a little more upfront about it. To honor all Veterans, the NFL — which I believe is being disrespectful to our veterans (and America in general) — needs to be sent a serious message.

Twitter is alive with word of the Veterans Day Boycott of the NFL. Today, tonight, and tomorrow night, turn off the TV. Tear up your tickets. Don’t talk about “your” team — they aren’t “your” team any more. It’s now just a bunch of guys who are unified in taking pride in spitting in your eye.

When I wrote “Don’t Hate. Grow Up And Accept Reality” back in June, I had the feeling I would be writing more follow-ups. This whole thing revolves around my own saying, “Hate makes you ugly” – Katy Perry was a great example of this being true. Preview Open

Last year, after the Clinton Machine was dismantled by a newcomer, the airwaves were filled with the discussion “Democrats look for leadership after stunning loss” – it was a non-stop conversation. It caused me to think about it a lot, and the conclusion that came to me in the end was this: On a national […]

I felt like doing something different as part of my Anniversary Celebration Week posts. So I went back to Monday, The Day Before The Clinton Machine Was Destroyed, and grabbed the news. I found it quite interesting. I remembered some, and didn’t others. Picking what to post here was actually kind of difficult, but I got it down to three, all from CBS.

I’m going to continue yesterday’s “News Feed” idea as today’s Anniversary Celebration Week posts. Today’s is all about the day of the Election, when the MSM was practically bursting at the seams with excitement about their Queen becoming President. It’s funny, this was supposed to be the great day of victory for the Left, but […]

Recommended by Ricochet Members Created with Sketch. Celebrating One Year Of No Clinton Machine

 

The weekend is over and now starts the week of celebration of one year without the Clinton Machine in any kind of power. The highlight of the week will be Wednesday’s Scream Night for Snowflakes, but every day is a holiday for me. I encourage everyone to post this week about The End of the Clintons. So, let’s start this off right tonight with a great video.

If you want to see a leftist, hardcore, Obama-loving MSM reporter have a Trump breakdown live on camera, here you go. This was the day after the election, November 9, and the reporter has a night of disbelief, crying jags, and losing control written all over her face.

Take a moment and imagine the outrage, the front-page headlines, the call for frog-marches, the Rush-Limbaugh-blaming, and the tears flowing in the streets, if a Democrat was physically attacked at their home by a registered Republican. Just imagine.

That’s exactly what happened to Kentucky Senator Rand Paul on Friday. How many of you have heard this story? I hadn’t; I saw it in my Twitter feed. To be fair, I didn’t watch any TV today, but as much as I have been on the internet, you would think it would be easily noticed, right? Not if it’s a Republican. Well, here is the story. This happened at about 3 in the afternoon on Friday — just a guy out mowing the lawn…

There is an unexpected group fighting the Republican tax cuts. The thing that bothers me here is that I don’t think the vast majority of Americans buy a home for their family so that they can deduct the property tax that comes along with it.

I moved into a new home in December and I never gave the property tax a second thought as a deduction. I wanted a home, a piece of the American Dream!

I don’t know what to make of this. It sounds like something I would post as a hilarious joke, and it is truly hilarious, but the guy who wrote it, while admitting he likes to make people laugh and to like him, insists that it is a completely serious event. You decide: Thousands To ‘Scream Helplessly At The Sky’ To Mark Anniversary Of Trump Presidency

Thousands of Americans angered or disappointed by Donald Trump’s ascension to the White House plan to vent their frustration by screaming helplessly at the sky on the anniversary of the 2016 presidential election.

“Join us … as we enjoy a collective cathartic yell into the heavens about our current political establishment,” organizers for the event to be held in New York City on Nov. 8 wrote on social media.
