Dick Dale, a Great American Original, RIP

The king of surf guitar transformed music (and himself) in a quintessentially American way.Dick Dale was born in Boston in 1937 as Richard Anthony Mansour, but he died on Saturday as "The King of the Surf Guitar." His life encapsulates so much that is great about America, especially our part-mythic, part-real ability to invent and re-invent who we want to be. It's fantastic, and totally to-be-expected, that a son of the Middle East and Central and Eastern Europe ended up creating one of the most purely "American" strains of popular music. That's worth pondering, especially in a moment when xenophobia is on the rise. Dale was Lebanese on his father's side, ...

Arlington County's free-speech-trampling sign code forbids businesses from depicting the goods they sell on exterior muralsBoth commercial freedom and creative freedom suffered a devastating blow in Arlington, Virginia, this past week. County officials have forced a local pizza joint to paint over a mural that adorned the outside of the restaurant. In November of last year, local favorite Goody's spruced up the exterior of its Clarendon location with a mural depicting pizza alongside various common toppings, such as mushrooms, tomatoes, and olives. The idea was to "get a little more attention from people walking by," owner Glenda Alverez tells the local news site ...

I know I’m going to get criticized from my friends in the progressive movement for being on Fox News. My response is that, if we’ve learned anything from the 2016 election, it is that we can’t have a country where we don’t talk to those who disagree with our ...

The source asked TGP for anonymity to speak freely about the behinds the scenes maneuvers: The original complaint came from Bret Baier’s team. Bret saw an opportunity to make Fox News acceptable enough to the left, so he could get himself a job of hosting the Democratic Debates. ...

Former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul decried the public corruption case brought in Iowa against three of his 2012 campaign staff members. Grant Rodgers/The Register DES MOINES, Ia. — The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal of the felony convictions of three top staffers on Ron Paul's 2012 presidential campaign. Campaign chairman Jesse Benton, campaign manager John Tate and deputy campaign manager Dimitri Kesari were convicted in 2016 of causing false records and campaign expenditure reports to be filed to the Federal Election Commission. Prosecutors say the trio tried to hide $73,000 in payments to former Iowa Sen. Kent Sorenson for his endorsement of ...

According to former news anchor Sam Donaldson, the thoughts inside your head and those posted on social media and the web will take down America. Donaldson believes thought and the natural right to speak, publish, or post such thoughts is a crime. "This is vulgarity. This is hate speech. This is homophobic speech," former ABC News anchor Sam Donaldson says of audio tapes of Fox News' Tucker Carlson. "This is the kind of speech that, if left unchecked, will change this country forever." https://t.co/ZK2uoifw6J pic.twitter.com/rl8tTfJ6oi — CNN (@CNN) March 13, 2019 Media Matters (operated by Democrat partisan David Brock) scoured the internet’s dark ...
Are libertarian Republicans misreading the political climate? [Full Thread]

All it took was a noncommittal response to generate a little 2020 buzz. "I would never rule anything out," Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) told CNN's Jake Tapper earlier this month when asked if he would run for president as a libertarian. "That's not on my radar right now, but I think that it is important that we have someone in there who is presenting a vision for America that is different from what these two parties are presenting." Far from a declaration of candidacy, this was not a Shermanesque statement, either. "Sounds like a platform," Tapper replied when Amash talked about the principles that unite Americans. Despite President Trump's tax ...

Another Murderous AGW

If you are among those who think the Glendale, AZ Taser Sadist is a lone bad apple, not representative of the breed – here’s another horribly similar example of the breed. A Texas AGW by the name of Dezi Rios – who put one man in a wheelchair (permanently) and threatened to put another one six food under. Rios shot the first man eight times under very suspicious circumstances, which appear to have been covered up by his fellow AGWs. A man was dropping off his wife’s cousin at her place of work when Rios – who was later determined to be drunk – aggressively confronted him. Rios was in his personal vehicle and not on duty. Within moments, the other man ...

Bexar County, TX — In December 2017, the Free Thought Project reported on the tragic death of 6-year-old Kameron Prescott whose life was stolen from him when police opened fire on an unarmed woman suspected of stealing a car. In June, the mother of the little boy who was gunned down by police found out that the cops who killed her son all went back to work. And this week, the family has found out that none of the officers responsible for the death of her son will face charges. Last year, the Bexar County District Attorney provided the department with clearance letters, allowing the deputies to report to full duty after being on administrative leave during the investigation. After a ...

That would be Morris Dees, whose bio was even wiped clean from the SPLC’s Web site. It’s all mysterious so far, but things like this are usually eventually explained by somebody who is good at “following the money.” The SPLC is one of the many professional propaganda arms of the Democrat Party whose job is to smear critics of the Party of Leftism and Marxism as “haters,” or worse. That of course is 100% illegal for a “nonprofit” 501 (C)(3) organization like the SPLC which is tax exempt because of that designation. It was also reported this week that the SPLC has more than a half a billion dollars in assets that it is sitting on, ...

Olivier Douliery/Pool/GettyPresident Trump issued a bizarre, indirect warning Monday that his supporters could get “tough” on his political enemies at a “certain point,” in a clip of a Breitbart interview spotted Thursday by The Toronto Star. “You know, the left plays a tougher game, it’s very funny,” the president told Breibart’s Matthew Boyle. “I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher. Okay? I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump–I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough—until they go to a ...

LIVONIA, MI (WXYZ/CNN) - A Michigan woman was arrested on multiple misdemeanor charges after she allegedly went on a “tirade” over a burger she claimed had been made incorrectly the day before. Police say 34-year-old Porsha Tyler returned to a Burger King in Livonia, MI, on Jan. 27, the day after she bought a burger. She demanded to get her money back, saying the burger had tomatoes on it, but she didn’t order it that way. "The clerk was more than kind to her and offered a refund of her food, of other food items, etc. Porsha wasn’t having that. She obviously didn’t get it her way that day, and she went on a tirade,” Police Capt. Ron Taig said. In a ...

Hawaii Congresswoman and Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard recently appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where instead of the light, jokey banter about politics and who she is as a person that Democratic presidential candidates normally encounter on late night comedy programs, the show’s host solemnly ran down a list of textbook beltway smears against Gabbard and made her defend them in front of his audience. Normally when a Democratic Party-aligned politician appears on such a show, you can expect jokes about how stupid Trump is and how badly they’re going to beat the Republicans, how they’re going to help ordinary Americans, and maybe ...

Of Two Minds – by Charles Hugh Smith The promises cannot be met, and so society decays into warring elites and competing constituencies. There is a grand, majestic tragedy in the inevitable collapse of once-thriving states and empires: it all seemed so permanent at its peak, so godlike in its power, and then slowly but surely, too many grandiose, unrealistic promises were made to too many elites and constituencies, and then as growth decays to stagnation, the only way to maintain the status quo is to appear to meet all the promises by creating money out of thin air, i.e. debauching the currency. This political expediency works most wonderfully for a time: people don’t ...

Hollywood actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin and a slew of chief executives are among 50 wealthy people charged in the largest college cheating scam ever prosecuted by the U.S. Department of Justice, federal officials said Tuesday. Those indicted in the investigation, dubbed "Operation Varsity Blues," allegedly paid bribes of up to $6.5 million to get their children into elite colleges, including Yale, Stanford, Georgetown and the University of Southern California, federal prosecutors said.

On Monday, a Manhattan appeals court gave billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s former alleged partner in crime, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, until March 19 to establish good cause as to why documents detailing the scope and size of their international child sex trafficking operation should remain sealed. Failing to do so would mean these documents will be made public. “We’re grateful that the court ruled the summary judgment papers are open and they are moving to expedite having them unsealed,’’ said Sanford Bohrer, the attorney representing the Miami Herald. “This is very unusual for a court to do this.” The Herald reports ...

The Drive to Tame the ‘Administrative State’ While Senate Democrats and much of the public have spent the past two Supreme Court confirmation battles obsessing over abortion, judicial conservatives quietly have been laying the groundwork for an assault on the “administrative state.” That is the buzz phrase to describe the nameless and faceless bureaucracy responsible for most of the rules that now govern America. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch went out of his way as an appeals court judge to call attention to the issue, and Justice Brett Kavanaugh has given indications that he, too, is willing to re-examine court precedents that have helped grow the power of ...

St. Petersburg, FL — A deputy with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office was allowed to quietly resign last month amid an investigation into his retaliatory actions against an innocent family. Deputy Lance Chambers was caught on video throwing nails into a family’s driveway over a feud and a series of complaints they filed against him. Documents released from the sheriff’s office last month show that Chambers submitted his resignation notice to Sheriff Bob Gualtieri on February 8, while the investigation was still underway. Resigning during an investigation is common tactic among police officers attempting to escape accountability—because it often works, as the ...
