Cowboys For Trump, a group of horseback riders carrying flags supporting the president, are riding through the Washington D.C. area today after starting their journey from Cumberland, Maryland on Feb. 15.
“Cowboys for Trump is an organization founded upon like minded Americans who are concerned about the direction of our country,” the group posted on their Facebook account. “We believe that the liberal progressive agenda is drastically moving us away from the identifying principles that make us proud to be American.”
Earlier this morning, the group arrived at the Arlington National Cemetery, on their way to the White House.
According to a post on the group’s Facebook account, the purpose of the ride is to show support to President Trump and the nation. The group said their three main concerns are securing the nation’s southern border, protecting the unborn and preserving the Second Amendment.

Capitalism in socialist Seattle.
Via Fox News:
David Holston is not your typical teen.
The 18-year-old entrepreneur who started a landscaping business in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho last spring made more in four days than many make in a year after a lucrative trip to Seattle with his truck and a plow just when the Emerald City got hit with historic levels of snow — 10 inches in some parts of the city.[…]
Holston was visiting his mom on her birthday while she was recovering from surgery. But, before he left, his friend tipped him off that there would be a foot of snow in Seattle, which the area wasn’t prepared for. So he drove his truck and plow there and worked 12-to 15-hour days, starting around 2 a.m.
In Idaho, he typically charges $125 an hour. But in Washington State, he put an ad on Craigslist and charged up to $500 to $750 an hour.
Holston’s phone was ringing off the hook the entire time he was plowing. In total, he ended up plowing driveways and parking lots for businesses, apartment complexes, and other locations.

That’s going to drive her bats.
Via Daily Wire:
Job Creators Network, the group behind a New York City billboard criticizing socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), trolled the 29-year-old congresswoman with a second billboard after she lashed out at the group’s first billboard.
The first billboard, which criticized Ocasio-Cortez for sinking Amazon’s move to New York City, stated:
25,000 Lost NYC Jobs
$4 Billion in Lost Wages
$12 Billion in Lost Economic Activity for NY
Thanks For Nothing, AOC!
Ocasio-Cortez responded with a tweet, writing: “Few things effectively communicate the power we’ve built in fighting dark money & anti-worker policies like billionaire-funded groups blowing tons of cash on wack billboards (this one is funded by the Mercers). (PS fact that it’s in Times Sq tells you this isn’t for/by NYers.)”

Who are the ones spreading hate again?
Via Fox News:
Conservative activists are calling on the University of California, Berkeley to take action against a campus employee who praised an alleged assault on a student who was recruiting at a table.
The university employee, Yuvi Panda, cheered the alleged assault – which campus police said happened on Tuesday — on Twitter on Wednesday night.
He tweeted: “OH MY GOD THE MAGA PEOPLE ON UC BERKELEY CAMPUS YESTERDAY GOT PUNCHED IN THE FACE BY SOMEONE THIS MAKES ME FEEL EMOTIONALLY SO MUCH BETTER.”
Panda thanked the apparent attacker, who has yet to be identified, for punching conservative activist Hayden Williams and “not letting it go unchallenged.”
“Hope you aren’t in too much trouble,” he added, before adding an expletive addressed to Turning Point USA, the organization which was recruiting at the time.

Predictions for when she’ll be done? Hair today, gone tomorrow.
Via Daily Caller:
Presidential hopeful and Democratic Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar once ate her salad with a comb after a Senate aide accidentally dropped her fork, according to a New York Times report.
A staffer prepared a salad for Klobuchar to eat during a flight to South Carolina in 2008, however, the aide dropped the senator’s fork and was unable to find a new one prior to take off, The Times reported Friday. Since the flight was so short, the airline was not able to provide any supplemental utensils.
After Klobuchar learned that she was forkless, the Minnesota senator first castigated the staffer, then she took out a comb from her bag and began using it to eat her salad. When she was finished, she demanded that the staffer clean the comb.

Republican leadership in the Virginia legislature says efforts to form a bipartisan committee to investigate rape claims made against Democratic lieutenant governor Justin Fairfax have been stalled by Democrats.
House speaker Kirk Cox told the Washington Post on Thursday that he has asked his Democratic colleagues to join him on a 10-person investigative committee, with five members from each party, arguing that accusers Vanessa Tyson and Meredith Watson “deserve a voice.”
“We need to work on a process to do that,” Cox says he told the Democrats. “And I would like for you to come alongside us.”

Here are some more vintage Crazy Bernie vids.
Via Fox News:
Presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has never shied away from his embrace of a hard-left agenda, but the democratic socialist is facing renewed scrutiny over a catalog of comments he made in the 1980s praising the Soviet Union, offering advice to Nicaragua’s socialist government — and even saying breadlines in communist countries are a “good thing.”
Videos of those comments have recirculated online at a furious pace ever since Sanders jumped in the 2020 race Tuesday, this time as a putative front-runner rather than the underdog he played in 2016 against an establishment favorite. With his increased stature, and role in pulling the entire field to the left, has come a tougher look at his long record talking up socialist governments.
“It’s funny sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is because people are lining up for food. That’s a good thing,” he said in one vintage video unearthed by conservative activists. “In other countries, people don’t line up for food, rich people get the food and poor people starve to death.”
The clip is one of a number where Sanders is seen extolling the supposed benefits of Marxist and socialist governments, while casting aspersions on the U.S. government. After a trip to the Soviet Union in 1988, he held a press conference, along with his wife Jane, and said he was “extremely impressed” by the USSR’s public transportation system.
“The stations themselves were absolutely beautiful, including many works of art, chandeliers that were very beautiful, it was a very effective system,” he said in a clip unearthed by conservative group The Reagan Battalion.
He also said he was fond of the USSR’s “palaces of culture,” which he told an audience were much better than anything the U.S. had mustered: “I was also impressed by the youth programs that they have, their palaces of culture for the young people, a whole variety of programs for young people, and cultural programs which go far beyond what we do in this country.”

You knew that was coming, right? But in this case, it might even be true, because he was getting drugs from Abel Osundairo.
Via Daily Wire:
The “hate hoax” story that has gripped the nation’s attention for the past few weeks continues to add new wrinkles. The latest: that embattled “Empire” star Jussie Smollett allegedly told police when he surrendered himself on Thursday that he has an untreated drug problem.
The report comes from TMZ, which has been tracking the twisting and turning celebrity “hate crime attack” saga from the beginning. The police report on the alleged hate hoax appears to back up the premise, specifying that Smollett, “on several occassions,” obtained drugs from one of the co-conspirators.
“Jussie told police, during his arrest, he has a drug problem … one for which he’s never been treated,” TMZ reported in an update on its report on the Smollett charges Thursday. “That could become relevant later in the case because, as we reported, cops say Jussie bought ecstasy from Abel. IF he were convicted, a drug issue could be a mitigating factor that gets his sentenced reduced.” TMZ also notes that Smollett “answered ‘no’ to alcohol or mental health problems.”
In the bond report released Thursday, Chicago PD provided the following description of Smollett’s relationship with Abel Osundairo, one of the alleged co-conspirators (emphasis added):

Via Daily Caller:
Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy reminded Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday that she better get started on her walk from Washington, D.C., to Austin for South by Southwest’s (SXSW) 2019 conference in an apparent nod to the Green New Deal’s net-zero greenhouse gas emissions goal.
“Hey [Ocasio-Cortez], glad you’ll be joining in Austin in #Tx21 for [SXSW] — but if you want to get there timely, you gotta start walking!” Roy tweeted.
The self-proclaimed Democratic socialist was added to the list of SXSW speakers in January to discuss “privacy, mass surveillance, foreign influence campaigns and the spread of propaganda,” according to the conference’s website. SXSW is held annually in Austin, Texas, where it celebrates “the convergence of the interactive, film, and music industries.”
Ocasio-Cortez is a frequent critic of climate change and is notable for her rhetoric on the issue.

Sen. Kamala Harris, who once labeled the Jussie Smollet attack claim an “attempted modern day lynching,” spoke out on Thursday after Smollett was charged and arrested with disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report.
The California lawmaker tweeted a statement expressing her sadness, frustration, and disappointment on the same day Smollett, who’s been released from jail, appeared before Cook County Judge John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr.
“When anyone makes false claims to police, it not only diverts resources away from serious investigations but it makes it more difficult for other victims of crime to come forward,” Harris wrote.

Socialism at its finest.
Via Daily Mail:
One person has been killed and 12 are injured after Venezuelan troops opened fire on civilians trying to keep a border checkpoint open for aid deliveries.
Troops arrived at a checkpoint set up by an indigenous community in Kumarakapai, on Venezuela’s southern border with Brazil early this morning.
But when civilians tried to block a convoy of tanks, soldiers opened fire killing a woman named as Zorayda Rodriguez, 42, and wounding 12 others. Gran Sabana Mayor Emilio Gonzalez said soldiers fired rubber bullets and tear gas and the injured people were taken for medical treatment.
The villagers are believed to have been trying to keep open a section of the border so that aid could be moved into the area from Brazil – after President Nicolas Maduro ordered the border with the country shut yesterday.
Maduro is closing off his country to the West as his opposition rival Juan Guaido attempts to claim power having declared himself interim president and vowed to bring in US humanitarian aid on Saturday.
Russia has accused the US of using aid deliveries to Venezuela as a ploy to carry out military action against Maduro’s government. The Kremlin’s Foreign Ministry said America had deployed special forces and equipment near the South American nation and accused Washington of an instigating a ‘dangerous provocation’.
It comes after dramatic footage emerge of a clash between Maduro’s troops and supporters of Guaido. The clip shows trucks trying to ram through a checkpoint in Mariara, northern Venezuela, as security forces loyal to Maduro stand in its path.

Poster boy for Democrats immigration policy.
Via Fox News:
The illegal immigrant killed Sunday in a shootout with a California cop had been deported three times and arrested and released over ICE’s objection on several occasions — including cases involving the very department whose officer took him down in a dramatic exchange caught on her body cam.
In a graphic, 48-second clip released Wednesday, body camera footage from Sunday’s traffic stop shows Javier Hernandez Morales rolling down his window, grabbing a handgun and opening fire. Napa County sheriff’s Deputy Riley Jarecki narrowly avoided getting struck before running to the other side of the car, firing at least 15 shots into the red Honda.
Hernandez Morales, 48, died at the scene and the deputy was not seriously injured, officials said.
A second weapon – a loaded .22-caliber rifle – was found in the backseat of the Honda in addition to the pistol.
Immigration officials said Thursday that the shooting and the man’s death could have been prevented, but California’s state law prohibited them from arresting the Mexican citizen with a long rap sheet and multiple deportations.

Hide your yearbooks.
Via WJ:
The editor of USA Today apologized Thursday for an image portraying blackface that was published in the Arizona State University yearbook on her watch.
Nicole Carroll said in an editorial published in the newspaper that it was recently brought to her attention “that I was involved in publishing such a photo when I was in college.”
Carroll says she edited the 1988-89 ASU yearbook that included a photograph of two people, at a fraternity’s Halloween party, wearing black makeup as boxer Mike Tyson and actress Robin Givens.
It is horrible, and of course the photo should not have been published,” she wrote. “I am sorry for the hurt I caused back then and the hurt it will cause today.”
Carroll said the image was discovered during a review of yearbooks from that time by Gannett Co.’s USA Today and its newspaper network. She says she was shocked and had no memory of the photo.
the yearbook survey was launched after the recent disclosure that a photograph of one unidentified person in blackface and another wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood was published on the 1984 medical school yearbook page of Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam. The scandal involving Northam’s page has sparked calls for the governor’s resignation and has led to widespread reflection over the past use of blackface and other racist images in the United States.
USA Today reported that its extensive search of hundreds of yearbooks from the 1970s and 1980s around the country turned up photographs of students dressed in Klan robes and blackface, mock lynchings and other displays of blatant racism. Other photos show students saluting in Nazi uniforms or wearing Native American costumes.

Hood rules.
Via WBTV:
Chesterfield County School administrators are making changes at Cheraw High School after two fights broke out during an extended lunch period Wednesday.
A school resource officer called in Cheraw Police and Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Deputies for back-up after the fights took place. Now, five students are facing charges and discipline from the school district.
According to the Sheriff’s Office incident report, the first fight began just before noon. Students were in “Tomahawk Time.” According to the district, Tomahawk Time is a modified lunch period in which students can work on homework or get extra help from teachers.
Cellphone video shared online showed two girls fighting in a hallway with a large crowd of students around them. According to the incident report, the SRO yelled for the students to stop fighting, but due to the crowd pushing in, the SRO could not get in between the girls.
The officer deployed his taser, hitting one girl in the back. According to the report, he then gave the second girl a “drive stun” when she continued to hit the girl who had fallen to the ground.
Corinne Smith is the mother of one of the girls involved in the fights. Smith says she is not mad about her child fighting, but rather how the fight was stopped.
“It’s not even really about the fight, it’s about an officer tasing a 105 pound girl when all he had to do was break it up,” Smith said.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft on Friday was charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution at a Florida spa — and cops say there’s video.
Kraft, 77, is accused of paying for sexual acts at Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, located about 90 miles north of Miami. His name was among more than a dozen who were charged.
Police said they have Kraft, and others, on video receiving the sexual acts and that he participated in prostitution in Florida two separate times.
The spa had been shut down after a months-long investigation revealed women were participating in “sexual servitude,” TC Palm reported, citing arrest records. Nine other spas in Orlando, Palm Beach County and Treasure Coast had also been shut down as part of the investigation.

Via Free Beacon:
Ugo Okere, a Democratic candidate for Chicago city council, said Thursday he believes democratic socialism should have total control over how people live.
In a Thursday interview with the left-wing Jacobin, Okere was asked to define democratic socialism, and he gave a remarkably expansive answer.
“Democratic socialism, to me, is about democratic control of every single facet of our life,” he said. “Government is led by the people, not by big corporations, not by multibillionaires, and working people actually have control over who we elect to be our politicians, over how elections work, and over how our government is structured. People have the power.”
