  In a hard hitting investigative interview on CNN, Hillary Clinton demonstrated her “alternate nostril breathing” technique as one method she used to deal with her loss to President Trump. I’ll tell you….this is some serious reporting going on. No questions about her releasing her new book on the Anniversary of Benghazi. Nope. No questions on… Continue reading From the Desk of John Rourke – September 14th, 2017

Note: Just found this post failed to publish – so here it is quite late. I think the “rabbit apocalypse” is well underway. This entire summer I have seen hundreds of rabbits.

  Trump made a 77-minute speech in Arizona. I listened to some of it and while predictable – it was very good. Outside law enforcement was pelted with rocks and water bottles. That was also quite typical as the snowflakes began to melt. Also at the “protest” in Phoenix, the John Brown Gun Club showed… Continue reading From the Desk of John Rourke – August 24th, 2017

  So – “white nationalist” is now the preferred term of the MSM over “white supremacist”. Don’t be fooled folks. This is just another way of the media to invoke a belief that Trump supporters – or anyone who takes pride in their country and would call themselves a Patriot – are bad and racists.… Continue reading From the Desk of John Rourke – August 15th, 2017
