State Rep. Justin Pearson has filed a federal lawsuit against the Memphis City Council alleging that he was unfairly banned from two upcoming meetings. Pearson had been punished for his role in last week’s massive disruption. Pearson claimed he was innocent — but failed to explain why he showed up in the council chambers with a bullhorn.

Fox News Channel is predicting a major disaster for the Republicans in the midterm elections. Honestly, this is journalistic malpractice. As I warned you, don’t listen to any of the attacks or the polls leading up to Election Day.

Marsha Blackburn’s team unleashed a new ad attacking Hatley’s character. Who are you voting for in the governor’s race?

Don’t believe a single poll out there, folks. There is a concerted effort among pollsters to demoralize Republican voters. All candidates should be campaigning like they are 20 points behind. And every Republican voter has an obligation to vote a straight party ticket. We must stop the Communist insurgency.

State Rep. Justin Pearson posted a message noting that he only celebrates “Indigenous Peoples Day.” President Trump described Pearson as one of the most radical Democrat candidates in the nation. We are curious as to why Pearson celebrates indigenous people who slaughtered their enemies and took slaves?

I have an observation for all the folks celebrating "Indigenous Peoples Day."

Now the media and the academic community would have you believe that the American Indian tribes all lived in peaceful harmony – dancing in the fields and frolicking with the bison.

It was all rainbows and unicorns until the white man showed up. At least that’s the far left’s narrative. But the reality is a bit different.

A good many of the so-called "Indigenous People" groups in America were savage killers who slaughtered women and children. And many of the American Indian tribes actually enslaved their enemies.

Take the Comanche for example. Historians say they slaughtered thousands of other "Indigenous People" and enslaved many women and children.

You don't hear much about that in public school classrooms or in the national media. They sort of gloss over all the killing and slave trading. Doesn’t fit their narrative.

And that's why when a university egghead wishes me a "Happy Indigenous Peoples Day," I politely invite them to blow it out their peace pipe.

It was 17 years ago that Nidal Hasan waged jihad on American soil. He slaughtered 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009. More than 30 others were wounded. On December 3rd, Hasan will meet his Maker.War Secretary Pete Hegseth announcing that the Muslim terrorist will be executed by firing squad. If carried out, it would be the first U.S. military execution since 1961 and the first by a military firing squad since 1945. Hegseth also announced the execution would be livestreamed.
That announcement brought widespread condemnation from many conservatives and religious leaders. Erick Erickson compared it to the pagan Roman Empire and suggested the Trump administration relished the public spectacle of executions. He quoted Proverbs and said we should not gloat when our enemy falls. I completely disagree with that assessment. The Bible clearly states that executions were to be public and communal to purge evil from the community and to serve as a deterrent. And there is a whole lot of evil that needs purging in America.
