Open Letter: Conservative Leaders Urge Congress to Confirm Judge Kavanaugh Before October 1
September 20, 2018 Washington, DC As the Senate Judiciary Committee wrestles with the 11th hour character assassination of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, we strongly urge Republican senators to keep the confirmation process on track and proceed...
A Little History of the NFL
by Rod D. Martin September 20, 2018 A little (very recent) history of the NFL: * In 2012 the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling for each game to pray. They also had an issue with Tebow wearing John 3:16 as part of his eye-black to avoid glare, and made him take...
Blue Wave? GOP Takes Texas Senate Seat That’s Been Democrat for 139 Years
by Rod D. Martin September 19, 2018 Note that I'm having to post this from a local news outlet. A Republican newcomer beats a Democrat former state and U.S. Rep. in a Texas Senate district that's been blue for 139 years. Wow. That's kind of a big deal. And that's a...
Senate Update: Sept. 19, 2018
by Rod D. Martin September 19, 2018 I sounded the alarm yesterday about the House. A large majority of Republicans believe the Democrats won't win this fall, which means they may become complacent, which will surely result in the Democrats winning the House this fall....
RNC Internal Poll Finds GOP in Danger
by Rod D. Martin September 18, 2018 Now this article from The Hill is exactly what I've been warning you about all year: "Fifty-seven percent of people who identified as strong Trump supporters said Democrats don’t have a chance to win big, while 37 percent believe...
The Weather Channel Fakes It Again
by Rod D. Martin September 16, 2018 On camera, this Weather Channel "reporter" was struggling to stand upright, bracing against the storm that was threatening his life and about to blow him away. He was a hero -- much like Cory Booker the other day -- braving certain...
Paul Manafort’s Guilty Plea
by Rod D. Martin September 14, 2018 So in an effort to avoid the 300 years of jail time Mueller is seeking against him, Paul Manafort just pled guilty to two crimes that have absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump or with the 2016 election. When Mueller got Cohen...
Trump Is Right: The Claim That 2,975 People Died in Puerto Rico is #FakeNews
by Rod D. Martin September 13, 2018 The claim that 2,975 people died in Puerto Rico's hurricane is absolutely fake. And Donald Trump is right to say so. 64 people died in Hurricane Maria. Sixty-four. Democrats didn't like that number, so they cooked up a "computer...
Happy Rosh Hashanah: Trump to Close PLO Washington Office
by Rod D. Martin September 10, 2018 Happy Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year)! The Trump/Pompeo State Department announced today that the administration is closing the PLO office in Washington because the Palestinians have steadfastly refused to negotiate any peace...
House Update: Sept. 5, 2018
by Rod D. Martin September 5, 2018 Rasmussen today has the Generic Ballot at D+4 (46-42). This is within the safety zone -- Republicans historically win the House even at D+5. But it's worth noting that it's also part of a worrisome trend. Rasmussen had the race dead...
Democrats Jettison Their Superdelegates: What’s Next?
by Rod D. Martin August 27, 2018 ICYMI: Over the weekend, the DNC stripped superdelegates of their right to tip the scales in the Democrat nominating process. For my entire lifetime, unelected insider delegates have held the balance of power, and they handed a...
Russell Moore and II Chronicles 7:14
by Rod D. Martin August 25, 2018 I was reading today in Jeremiah, and I thought of Russell Moore (and a decent number of his followers). For Fourth of July (of course), Russell tweeted that II Chronicles 7:14 does not apply to America. This point seems to be cheered...
Erickson: Trump Supporters Are Hypocrites on Cohen
by Rod D. Martin August 24, 2018 NeverTrumper Erick Erickson is out this morning with a piece condemning all Trump supporters as hypocrites (big shock): “If Hillary had done this, you know you’d be screaming for impeachment.” Well no, Erick: I would not be “screaming...
The Sham Cohen Plea Deal
by Rod D. Martin August 22, 2018 I've thought a little about the sham Cohen plea deal. It is very interesting to me that, when the prosecutors announced the deal, they highlighted all of the matters to which Cohen pled guilty...except one: the alleged campaign finance...
Quick Takes on Manafort and Cohen
by Rod D. Martin August 21, 2018 Quick takes on Manafort and Cohen: Manafort was found guilty of...stuff that had absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump, or even the 2016 election. This is a sick joke. Cohen was threatened by Mueller with about 300+ years in...
Clapper Admits Trump Has the Power to Revoke Mueller’s Security Clearance
by Rod D. Martin August 21, 2018 James Clapper points out correctly that the President could pull Mueller's security clearance: "The President does have the authority to exercise here if he so chooses." That pretty much eviscerates John Brennan's lawsuit threat, of...
Bill Nelson’s Surreal Russian Hacking Claim Falls Apart
by Rod D. Martin August 21, 2018 Update on soon-to-be-former U.S. Senator Bill Nelson's bizarre claim of Russian penetration of Florida voting systems (denied by every Florida election official, including the Democrats), just posted by Gov. Rick Scott. I have more to...
The So-Called Trump Circus
by Rod D. Martin August 19, 2018 I love the Wall Street Journal, but sometimes they -- like a lot of Republicans -- completely miss the ever-lovin' point. Take this paragraph: "The Trump Administration’s regulatory rollback continues to be overshadowed by the White...
Chelsea Clinton: Abortion Has Added $3.5 Trillion to Our Economy
by Rod D. Martin August 17, 2018 My old and dear friend Ky Harrod posted an article on Facebook -- at which he was and you should be horrified -- in which Chelsea Clinton ludicrously claims that "abortion has added $3.5 trillion to our economy." He rightly notes that...

So Who’s Going to Win the House in November?
by Rod D. Martin August 9, 2018 So who's going to win the House in November? And for that matter, who's going to win the Senate? The Wall Street Journal makes a good case for a big Republican defeat this morning in "The Red Wave Illusion". They have history on their...
