Jussie Smollett’s circle closes as Donald Trump sends in FBI, DOJ
Almost everyone thinks Jussie Smollett was handed a Get Out Of Jail free card after prosecutors slapped him only with the $10,000 he paid in bail and 16 hours of community service, but let go the whole false reporting of a hate crime thing.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, queen of annoying
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is about as annoying as they come. Given her socialist bent, it's already too much to expect Ocasio-Cortez to stay within the constitutional bounds with all her legislative goals. But it'd be nice if she could tone down the rants, rein in the hand-flinging. Published March 28, 2019

Mike Lee’s precious put-down of Green New Deal — and AOC’s hat-tip to despair
Sen. Mike Lee's shoot-down of the ridiculously bureaucratic and bloated Green New Deal? Classic. And nobody knows it better than its leading sponsor, the socialist-minded Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose smart-mouth reply to Lee tips to her growing awareness that she's simply bitten off more than she could chew. Published March 27, 2019
Barack Obama’s protective shield seems to be shattering
Now that the whole Russia collusion thing against President Donald Trump has been proven a media-hyped fallacy, politically savvy eyes are turning toward former President Barack Obama and wondering: What about all that sneaky surveillance stuff?

For Kate Steinle, the knife to the back twists harder
The suit that Kate Steinle's parents brought against San Francisco, alleging the city was negligent for failing to keep in jail the illegal immigrant who shot their daughter was tossed from court, deemed by a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to have little merit. And the knife to Steinle's back twists a little harder. Published March 26, 2019
Socialism is rooted in godlessness
In America, freedom and faith go hand in hand. Big Government cannot survive when the people don't rely completely on it for answers. Socialism crumbles in the face of self-reliance, in the insistence on independence, in the demand for recognition that individual rights come from God. Published March 26, 2019

The left-leaners in the media have trying their dang-dest to make sure this White House is blamed for the murderous atrocities that just took place in New Zealand -- so it's no wonder they largely missed it when a Muslim doctor went on CNN and told a watching world: Hey, President Donald Trump is no Islamophobe.

‘Witch hunt’ is right, 50 percent of Americans now say
A new poll -- or, depending on who's doing the reporting, a stunning new poll, anastonishing new poll, an incredulous new poll -- shows 50 percent of Americans think Robert Mueller's investigation of President Donald Trump is a witch hunt.

Mike Pompeo open to political future: ‘The Lord will’ guide me
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, in a recent visit to his home state of Kansas, sparked talk about his political future, which some see in the Senate, others in the governor's mansion, and still others -- himself included -- unsure.

This nation needs a course correction back to godlier times -- back to Judeo-Christian principles. Published March 18, 2019

Hijab hijinks on the high P.C. seas
Judge Jeanine Pirro of Fox News was just ripped across the media world for wondering aloud, on television, if a Muslim lawmaker who wears a hijab might be doing so in order to comply with the Koran, and if so, to what extent sharia law might one day supplant the Constitution as the governing compass.
