With all of the concern over fake news, one would think people would be pointing accusatory fingers at Al Gore, who to date, has propagated the biggest fake news story of the 21st century. I speak of course of global warming/climate change, or whatever the fashionable sobriquet of the day is for the movement to force all of us unrepentant sinners into cold dark caves to atone for our wicked fossil fuel addictions. Although Al Gore's 2005 documentary, An Inconvenient Truth made him and all those involved in it many millions of dollars and won them a Best Documentary Oscar and the adulation of the liberal Hollywood elites, the proles, he shockingly discovered, were willing to shell out $8 to be terrified by his droning monotone predictions of doom and gloom, but had no interest in becoming converts to the church of Global Warming. While the masses apparently found some entertainment value in watching the nerdy fat ass with the funny voice tell them how the world was doom...

ISIS can still recruit followers to their terrorist organization on social media sites, but Breitbart tech editor, Milo Yianopoulos is banned from Twitter because he said Leslie Jones looks like a man (and honestly, raise your hand if you disagree). This was the first shot across the bow in the war on alternative news, which in the face of the MSM liberal colossus, has become the default voice of the right/libertarians. Now, however, government has decided the warning shots didn't work, if anything it only seemed to provoke those pesky free speech advocates demanding their Constitutional rights. So how to get around the First Amendment or Canada's less stringent, but still constitutionally protected right to free speech? The answer has become 'fake news.' Originally the government (i.e former U.S administration under Obama, state and local governments and federal, provincial and municipal governments in Canada) had tried to suppress free speech under hate laws. Thi...

They said Trump wasn’t conservative. Now he’s already batting nearly a thousand Lawrence Solomon  |  January 23, 2017  | Last Updated:  Jan 23 8:00 AM ET More from Lawrence Solomon  |  @LSolomonTweets “Trump is not a true conservative,” #NeverTrumpers charged for months, even after Trump won the Republican nomination for president. Maybe not. But no conservative can be dismayed by the agenda Trump has begun to roll out today, his first Monday on the job following his inauguration. As far as true conservatives are concerned, Trump is pretty much batting a thousand. Believe in small government? The Trump team plans to unveil a budget in the next 100 days that will propose more than US$10 trillion — yes, trillion with a “t” — in cuts over 10 years. Based on the Heritage Foundation’s Blueprint for Reform, the Trump team — peopled by some of the very same researchers who drafted Heritage’s blueprint — have gone beyond anything Republican...

Donald Trump signs orders advancing construction of Keystone, Dakota pipelines Jennifer Jacobs, Jennifer A. Dlouhy and Meenal Vamburkar, Bloomberg News  |  January 24, 2017 1:57 PM ET More from Bloomberg News President Donald Trump took steps to advance construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, marking the start of an era with fewer constraints on the oil industry to the chagrin of environmentalists who have bitterly fought the projects. The moves, among Trump’s first actions since taking office, are a major departure from the Obama administration, which rejected TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone proposal in 2015 and has kept Dakota Access blocked since September. Environmentalists, concerned about climate change and damage to waters, land and Native-American cultural sites, now face an executive branch that’s less sympathetic to their efforts. For the oil industry, it heralds more freedom to expand infrastructure and ease transportation bottlene...

It took all of five seconds for the media to accuse President Trump of plagiarizing Bane's speech from Dark Knight rises. That's right, major media was all a twitter that Trump used a similar phrase to Bane's, one phrase out of 1100 words. The contentious phrase was giving power back to the people, but instead of accusing Trump of trying to emulate Jeffersonian democracy, they went with Bane, and no one is surprised... at all. Get used to it, this what the next 4-8 years will look like, the MSM combing every Trump utterance  for any misstep, misspoken word, or just outright criticism. What they don't realize is people are sick of it, despite the obvious backlash of media coverage for the 2016 Presidential election, and the confessed bias of major media outlets, they haven't learned, outside of their bubble it's going to fly, and thus they continue to hasten their own demise. Pinning their last hope of salvation on a government regulation branding everyth...

Charles Krauthammer: Obama’s last acts reveal him as the hard-left activist he’s always been Charles Krauthammer  |  January 21, 2017  | Last Updated:  Jan 21 7:00 AM ET More from Charles Krauthammer JIM WATSON/AFP/Getty Images Former President Obama waves from the helicopter he departs the US Capitol after inauguration ceremonies in Washington, DC, on January 20, 2017.   Twitter   Google+   Reddit   Email   Typo?   More Barack Obama did not go out quietly. His unquiet final acts were, in part, overshadowed by a successor who refused to come in quietly and, in part, by Obama’s own endless, sentimental farewell tour. But there was nothing nostalgic or sentimental about Obama’s last acts. Two of them were simply shocking. Perhaps we should have known. At the 2015 White House correspondents’ dinner,  he joked  about whether he had a bucket list: “Well, I have something that rhymes with bucket lis...
