Julie Carr

  In an exclusive interview Wednesday morning on The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy – broadcast on Nashville’s Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC weekdays from 5:00 am to 8:00 am – host Michael Patrick Leahy spoke with Dr. Manny Sethi in-studio to discuss his background and reasons he is running for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate in Tennessee. Sethi told Leahy that, if elected and sworn in as a Republican United States Senator, he will not vote for Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as Senate Majority Leader. “Right now, we’ve got Mitch McConnell up there, and this guy just shuts everybody down. And the career politicians, the establishment, they just run the day. But that’s why we need folks up there who come from outside the government, to change things,” Sethi said. “Mitch McConnell, if the Republicans maintain control of the Senate, he will still probably be the Majority Leader,” Leahy said. “He won’t have my vote,” Sethi responded. “He won’t have your vote?” Leahy asked. “I will not vote for him. I don’t know who I’ll vote for, but I won’t vote for that guy,” Sethi said. “You just made some news here,” Leahy noted. “If you…

Carol Swain Commentary: Will Ronald Reagan’s Legacy Survive the Social Justice Era

Admin

by Dr. Carol M. Swain   Ronald Reagan’s legacy as a great president is facing a new and unexpected challenge.  Students at The King’s College, a Christian liberal arts school in New York City, live in ten residential houses named after Ronald Reagan, C. S. Lewis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Corrie ten Boom, Queen Elizabeth I, Margaret Thatcher, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Winston Churchill, and Clara Barton. According to the college, these figures were selected by students fifteen years ago “because they embodied certain ideals that students wanted to manifest.” But recently unearthed audio of a conversation between Reagan and President Richard Nixon has led some students to call for the Reagan House to be renamed. In a taped phone conversation from October 1971, then-Governor Reagan told President Nixon, “Last night, I tell you, to watch that thing on television as I did. . . To see those, those monkeys from those African countries—damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes!” Reagan was incensed that the United Nations General Assembly had voted to admit the People’s Republic of China to the Assembly and to expel the Republic of China, the fledgling democracy in Taiwan. Reagan’s remarks were indeed racist, but they are…

Commentary: No, James Comey, America Doesn’t Want Your Help

Admin

America is a dangerously divided nation. Democrats, unable to accept the results of a presidential election three years ago, would now undo the constitutional expression of American voters by pushing a half-cocked impeachment inquiry. Democratic presidential candidates offer outlandish ideas such as free healthcare to illegal immigrants and subsidized gender reassignment surgery for inmates while Democratic voters fret their field of candidates is too old, too left-wing, and too sluggish to oust Donald Trump in 2020.

Julie Carr

  Special guest Michelle Malkin joined The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy on Monday morning’s broadcast on Nashville’s Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC. Leahy spoke to Malkin about her new book Open Borders, Inc. and discussed how so many conservatives are being de-platformed, disappeared, or de-personed on social media. “And so this social media which is so critical to helping the Tea Party succeed is now being rigged by its owners and CEO’s and many of the social justice warriors inside the company,” added Malkin. Near the end of the segment, Malkin talked about a chapter in her book that describes how billions of dollars are being used and leveraged by the United Nations and transnational organizations, and NGO’s in Europe and Africa to dump hundreds of thousands of refugees not only into Tennessee but also in flyover country. Leahy: Welcoming our good Michelle Malkin. Welcome, Michelle. Malkin: Thanks for having me. Leahy: First, I have to say some very good things about you. The author of Open Borders Inc. We’re going to talk about that in a bit. When the Tea Party launched in February of 2009 no one did more to promote it and to…

Commentary: Why Do CEOs Make So Much Money?

Admin

Certain politicians and social critics would have us scandalized that the annual income of CEOs of large corporations is often several times that of the employees who work in those companies. Is it unfair that executives make substantially more than a middle manager, an executive assistant, or an assembly-line worker? How are those salaries determined? Is significant income disparity unjust? To consider these questions, let’s take a look at the unique role and responsibilities of a chief executive officer.

Commentary: It’s Patriot Trump Versus Leninist Impeachment Pushers and America’s Future Hangs in the Balance

Admin

Should President Obama have been impeached for giving cash and assets worth as much as $150 billion to Iran by executive order? Or for lying about Obamacare? No, because that kind of punishment even for these injustices would have trivialized the grave constitutional purpose of impeachment and conviction. Clearly, it would have fulfilled a legitimate partisan purpose, though one which is more appropriately resolved through elections.

Tlaib Doubles Down on Detaining Trump Officials, Says ‘Serious Conversations’ Happening

Anthony Gockowski

  Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI-13) doubled down on her claim that Democrats are considering how to detain White House officials who defy congressional subpoenas in a recent interview. As The Michigan Star reported, Tlaib told her constituents during a town hall in Detroit that she and her colleagues were looking at arresting White House officials who ignore subpoenas. “Do you know this is really unprecedented? This is the first time we’ve ever had a situation like this,” she said. “So they’re trying to figure out—no joke—they’re trying to figure out well is it the DC police that goes and gets them? Where do we hold them?” “I will tell them they can hold all those people right here in Detroit,” she added. “We’ll take care of them and make sure they show up to the committee hearings.” Tlaib received widespread criticism for her comments from Republican colleagues and was called a “fascist” by the Republican National Committee. But she doubled down on the comments in a Saturday interview with Deadline Detroit. “If they were to detain someone, where would they go and have them detained so that they can comply with the subpoenas?” Tlaib told the outlet. “There have been…

Commentary: So, About That Che T-Shirt…

Admin

Let’s say that all you knew about Adolf Hitler was that he painted scenic pictures, postcards, and houses in Vienna, loved dogs and named his adorable German Shepard “Blondie,” and frequently expressed solidarity with “the people.” You might sport a T-shirt adorned with his image if you thought such a charismatic chap was also good-looking in a beret. But your education would be widely regarded as incomplete.
