“Scarlet Letters: The Ever-Increasing Intolerance of the Cult of Liberalism Exposed"
The Lie That Launched Black Lives Matter
September 13, 2016 | AmericanThinker.com | by Jack Cashill
The Black Lives Matter movement began as a hashtag in July 2013 immediately after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Although the movement would be reinforced along the way by any number of lies—“Hands up don’t shoot” comes quickly to mind—not enough attention has been paid to the original lie, one that may eventually launch a thousand riots before it burns itself out, namely that Trayvon Martin was an innocent little boy. . .

Trump Was Right on Ayers-Obama Book
September 21, 2016 | WND.com | by Jack Cashill
"Birtherism wasn’t the only conspiracy he pushed,” reads the subhead of a Huffington Post article this week by senior politics editor, Sam Stein.
The “he,” of course, refers to Donald Trump. The “conspiracy” that Stein rediscovered was Trump’s claim in 2011 that retired terrorist Bill Ayers helped Barack Obama write his esteemed 1995 memoir, “Dreams from My Father.”. . . [more]

Media Meltdown as Hillary “Overheats”
September 15, 2016 | WND.com | by Jack Cashill
This past weekend we learned what a conspiracy theory is, namely a set of facts that has yet to drop kick the media in the teeth.
To think of this fact-set as a “conspiracy theory,” the media must first know that some group, almost always from the ranks of the “deplorable,” believe it to be true. . . [more]

Hillary's Health is a Media Scandal
September 13, 2016 | AmericanThinker.com | by Jack Cashill
The Politico article on Hillary’s health scare begins with the line, "Hillary Clinton’s health – long the obsession of conspiracy theorists – emerged Sunday as a legitimate campaign issue."
A Washington Post column by Chris Cillizza struck a similar note. Writes Cillizza, talk of Hillary's illness "was largely confined to Republicans convinced that Clinton has long been hiding some sort of serious illness. I wrote dismissively of that conspiracy theory in this space last week."
As this incident makes painfully clear. . . [more]

We're All Conspiracy Theorists Now
August 31, 2016 | WND.com | by Jack Cashill
I must say I was disappointed by Hillary Clinton’s now notorious speech in Reno last week. Hillary savaged Donald Trump for endorsing “dark conspiracy theories drawn from the pages of supermarket tabloids and the far reaches of the internet.” Several of these theories she noted specifically, but none of them had I written about or investigated at any depth. Alas, Hillary slighted me, and I think I. . . [more]

It has been four weeks since my book, TWA 800: The Crash, The Cover-Up, The Conspiracy, debuted. Despite a two-week media hiatus due to the conventions, I continue to receive one or two new leads a day, many from inside the investigation.
I would encourage those with information to share to contact me in confidence through my website, Cashill.com. As one new source told me, he never knew before where to turn.

“Is it still over, are we still through? Since my phone still ain't ringing I assume It still ain’t you,” sang Randy Travis in his country classic, a song I found myself humming this past weekend.
The “you” in question in my case is the major media and their timid acolytes in the respectable conservative media. This past weekend any number of media covered the twentieth anniversary of TWA Flight 800’s destruction. . . [more]

Twenty years ago this Sunday, TWA Flight 800, a 747 bound for Paris, exploded off the coast of Long Island, killing all 230 people on board.
In the last few years, researchers have unearthed an astonishing treasure trove of CIA documents, secured a confirmed video of a Long Island missile launch five days before TWA 800’s demise, and persuaded numerous witnesses and whistleblowers from inside the investigation to come forward.

An Encouraging Look at Missouri’s Primary Numbers

In the twentieth century, no state better predicted the outcome of a presidential election than Missouri.

Although the state has been drifting right in recent years, it still has a Democratic senator and governor. . .

Da Noive! President Barack Obama has chosen to nominate United States Appeals Court Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court.

A Black Actor Can No Longer “Win” An Oscar

My Eerie Scalia Premonition
February 15 , 2016 | AmericanThinker.com | by Jack Cashill
In the year 2000, my one and only novel was published, the then futuristic 2006: The Chautauqua Rising. Set as the reader might surmise in 2006, this political action thriller tells the tale of a grassroots insurrection in Western New York that in many ways anticipated the Tea Party insurgency of 2009-10. As an aside, those thinking of writing a book should be sure to give it a title that people can pronounce. I learned this the hard way. The county in question is pronounced sha-TAWK-wa . . .

Trump Draws Left's Ire, But Race-Baiting Sharpton Is OK In Their Book. The New York Daily News got it wrong. In truth, Sanders Is the “Zombie” and Sharpton the “Joker.”
February 15, 2016 | HNGN.com | by Jack Cashill
In the years that I have been following—and creating—political media, I have seen many a provocative headline, but none in the same ballpark as the New York Daily News’s post-New Hampshire slam on Donald Trump.
Mixing metaphors, the paper’s front-page shows Trump in Joker-style clown face alongside a screaming headline, “DAWN OF THE BRAIN DEAD.” Lest anyone miss the message, the subtitle reads, “Clown comes back to life with N.H. win as mindless zombies turn out in droves. . .

At speaking engagements I am often asked, “As an average citizen, what can I do?” For the last several years, I have been recommending that people get on Facebook and become disseminators of real information, mini-publishers in their own private universe.

Bully Boy Clinton’s Lip-Biting M.O.
January 6, 2016 | WND.com | by Jack Cashill
A long time columnist for the Kansas City Star, Mary Sanchez is old enough to remember and recount certain details of the Clinton presidency.
In a recent column, Sanchez scolded Donald Trump for his “vulgarity and brutishness.” Wrote Sanchez, “His modus operandi is to bully.” How dare he call out Bill Clinton for being “unfaithful to his wife,” she asked, especially given Clinton’s “stellar” record on women's issues.
Like so many liberal women, Sanchez has been unwilling to acknowledge Clinton’s history as a sexual bully. . .

The Outstanding Cultural Warriors of 2015
December 30, 2015 | WND.com | by Jack Cashill
In my newest book, “Scarlet Letters: The Ever-Increasing Intolerance of the Cult of Liberalism,” I document the left’s totalitarian urge to punish those individuals who challenge its ever-shifting ersatz morality.
The accusers insist that resistance is born out of hatred—of blacks, of gays, of immigrants, of Muslims, of women, of poor people, even, yes, of Mother Earth. And woe to that hater who publicly defies the orthodoxy du jour. . .
Media Science Whiz Tyson Learns It’s Okay to Mock Baby Jesus, But Not At All Okay to Mock BB-8
December 28, 2015 | HNGN.com | by Jack Cashill
A Yahoo News headline got it right: as Christmas 2015 approached, media superstar Neil deGrasse Tyson (left), an astrophysicist by training and a (selective) blasphemer by inclination, managed to “Annoy the Entire Internet.”

Clinton Crony and Sock-Stuffer Sandy Berger Lived in the Shadows and Died in the Shadows
December 7, 2015 | HNGN.com | by Jack Cashill
It seems somehow fitting that Clinton national security advisor, Sandy Berger, died the same day another event sucked all the air out of the news. The event in question, of course, was Wednesday’s Islamic terrorist attack in San Bernardino.
As it happens, major news events also obscured Berger’s most newsworthy day prior to his death. On March 31, 2005, the unfortunate Terri Schiavo died a much-publicized death in Florida. On April 2, Pope John Paul II would die. On April 1, the Department of Justice announced its plea deal with Berger for his role in stealing and destroying classified documents from the National Archives. . .

Once outside, Omar slapped the girl in the face and pulled her by the hair into his car. The police arrested him on suspicion of child abuse. Omar posted a $4,500 bond and was released. . . .

A headline on Wednesday’s Kansas City Star read as follows, “Kris Kobach rejects criticism for speaking at a ‘white nationalist’ conference.”

Hillary’s Worst Crime Was Against the “Filmmaker”
October 26, 2015 | AmericanThinker.com | by Jack Cashill
It would be as ethically bankrupt for the Democrats to nominate Hillary Clinton after Benghazi as it would have been for the Republicans to nominate Richard Nixon after Watergate.
More bankrupt actually. No one died at Watergate, and the only people who went to prison were the ones who committed the crimes. At Benghazi, of course, four Americans died, and the only American who went to prison did so to help Hillary sell a lie. . .

The Campus Crusade for Conformity (or Else!)
October 21, 2015 | WND.com | by Jack Cashill
Wesleyan University sophomore Bryan Stascavage knew he would ruffle a few feathers when, just a week ago, he wrote an op-ed for the campus newspaper, the Argus, on the subject of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Although supportive of the movement’s goals, Stascavage summed up his painfully balanced piece with this idea: “If vilification and denigration of the police force continues to be a significant portion of Black Lives Matter’s message, then I will not support the movement.”. . .

Hillary’s “Genocide” Lie
October 15, 2015 | AmericanThinker.com | by Jack Cashill
“Well, let's remember what was going on,” Hillary Clinton told Anderson Cooper Tuesday night in Las Vegas in response to his question about the bombing of Libya. “We had a murderous dictator, Qadaffi, who had American blood on his hands, as I'm sure you remember, threatening to massacre large numbers of the Libyan people.”
Before going any further, we might want to note that In April 2009, Qaddafi’s son Mutassim had a cordial meeting with Secretary of State Clinton in Washington. .

Bernie’s Kosovo Lie

Granted, Kosovo is not a burning issue. If asked, the handful of people who watched the CNN Democratic debate on Tuesday would likely identify it as exotic vegetable.
Still, it was the one place on the map that Senator Bernie Sanders, a belligerent quasi-pacifist, thought best justified spilling American blood.

My Dinner with Secretary Reich
October 7, 2015 | WND.com | by Jack Cashill
Last week, I received an unusual invitation. Clinton-era Labor Secretary Robert Reich (left) was coming to Kansas City with a film crew, and either he or they thought it might be a good idea to stage a dinner in which the secretary interacted with people who did not share his opinions.
Being near the head of everyone’s list of those who might disagree with Reich, I got the invite, accepted, and lived to write about the experience. . .

Scarlet Letter Summer Ends on “I” Note

My new book, “Scarlet Letters: The Ever Increasing Intolerance of the Cult of Liberalism,” hit the bookstores in August.

No Film Will Revive Dan Rather’s Reputation

Soon to come to a neighborhood theater near you is a film that has the nerve to call itself “Truth.”

The Inevitability of Kim Davis
September 9 , 2015 | WND.com | by Jack Cashill
In monitoring the postings of my friends on Facebook and elsewhere, I sense a genuine surprise among the more benignly liberal that the federal government would actually send the county clerk of Kentucky’s Rowan County, Kim Davis, to jail for refusing to issue a marriage license to a gay couple.
Most of the supporters of same-sex marriage that I know are not political people. A fair share of them are bright and good-hearted. Most of those are female. More than a few vote Republican. . .

Free Kim Davis
September 8, 2015 | AmericanThinker.com | by Jack Cashill
"I'm glad the court sent a strong message that you have to follow the law," said Timothy Love of Kentucky, one of the plaintiffs in the Supreme Court case that legalized gay marriage. The strong message that U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning was to send Kim Davis to prison. Davis, the county clerk of Kentucky’s Rowan County, boldly refused to issue a marriage license to a gay couple.
Love’s comment raises at least two interesting questions. One is this: when did the left develop this affection for following the law? . . .

If "W" Had Been Trump - In 2004
September 2, 2015 | WND.com | by Jack Cashill
“The Republican nominee for president will be that candidate who best learns that there is no future in apologizing,” I wrote in the opening sentence of a June 10 WND article.
I had come to this conclusion after researching my new book, Scarlet Letters: The Ever Increasing Intolerance of the Cult of Liberalism. In the book I profile those individuals who stood their ground against their progressive oppressors and prevailed.
George W. Bush was not one of those people. As charming and congenial as he could be, Bush as president was civil to a fault. His political enemies saw that as a weakness and exploited it. . .

Potty-Mouth Leftists on Presidential Eligibility
(Part 2 in series)
August 19, 2015 | WND.com | by Jack Cashill
Last week, I wrote a column for WND titled, “Just Who Is Eligible to be President.” In it I raised the question as to whether Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Bobby Jindal, and Rick Santorum are “natural born citizens” and thus eligible to be president of the United States.
The article generated a fair amount of response. Some respondents thought my interpretation of the law too strict. Others thought it too lenient, but . . . .

I was driving in to work earlier this week, listening to a local talk show, when I did something I almost never do. I called in.
The subject was the decision by the governing board of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to allow openly gay adults to serve as den leaders, scoutmasters and camp counselors. How could I resist? I am an Eagle Scout, and I have a book coming out next week called Scarlet Letters that deals with this larger subject.

Why Is Rachel D Less “Authentic”

If the least attentive of news watchers this past month can identify only two people by sight, one of them is surely Rachel Dolezal (pronounced DOLE-uh-zhal).
Rachel (pictured left as an adult and child) of course, has spent the last decade passing for a black woman. And say what you will about her authenticity or lack of it, she, unlike other famous transitional types in the news, is not insisting we call her by a new name like, say, “Shamiqua”. . .

Largely to protect Hillary Clinton’s future, the media have been pestering Republican candidates with the question, “Would you have invaded Iraq?”

Why Marilyn Mosby Must Go
May 6, 2015 | WND.com | by Jack Cashill
The answer as to why Baltimore state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby (left) must go is simple enough: she has consistently shown herself unwilling or unable to put justice before race.
She has also conspicuously failed to grasp the idea that “justice” is due the accused, not the mobs howling for the heads of the accused.

On Tuesday of this week, April 28, an incident took place in a Houston Wal-Mart that should have made national news. It hasn’t. In fact, the story has scarcely left Houston.
The nature of the incident could not be more topical. Jeremiah Matthews, 23, attacked Houston Community College police officer, April Pikes, with a hunting knife while she moonlighted as a security guard. Matthews stabbed Pikes fourteen times, tried to pull her gun, and would likely have killed her had not store patrons intervened. As it is, Pikes had to undergo a six-hour surgery, remains in intensive care, and may lose an arm. Police have charged Matthews with attempted capital murder.

A professionally shot video of Barack Obama from 1995 has recently surfaced. Shot at the Cambridge Mass. Public Library, the video captures a skinny, youthful Obama promoting his then newly released memoir, Dreams from My Father,
In this hour-long presentation, Obama openly talks about his relationship with his mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a Communist and pornographer. Perhaps more importantly, Obama gives us a much clearer picture about who he was in 1995, on the cusp of his political career, than we had seen before.

No presidential candidate in History has raced to the White House with more baggage than Hillary Clinton. For those too young to remember—and those in the media too eager to forget—allow me to air some of that baggage out.

In the November 1994 mid-terms, Democrats lost fifty-two seats in the House and eight in the Senate. Mario Cuomo lost. House speaker Tom Foley lost. Popular Texas governor Ann Richards lost to underdog George W. Bush.

Would that the Dem’s only player of note had been a one-and-done, but wily veteran Hillary Clinton plods on to the bitter end, hoping that someone somewhere will finally draft her.

Many of us who did not vote for Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election found some solace in the notion that Obama’s presidency, if nothing else, would ease racial tensions.
The poll numbers suggested the same. In the month of Obama’s inauguration, 79 percent of whites and 63 percent of blacks held a favorable view of race relations in America, something of a high water mark in recent history.
Those paying close attention, however, saw reason to worry. . .
