Democrats + chaos = leftist control
Democrats aren't as stupid and short-sighted as they appear. For the far left -- and far leftism is what the Democratic Party of John F.

Diapers for dummies — or technology that shouldn’t be
Here's a thought: If you're a parent and can't tell when your baby's bottom is wet or soiled -- you might not be what's called "a good parent." You might want to stick with being a pet owner. Published January 11, 2019
Technology in your toothbrush, telling you how to brush
If CES 2019 tells anything, it's a story of how technology is moving into every aspect of human life, from driving to securing home and possessions to parenting to -- brushing teeth. Some of the artificial intelligence serves as an apt demonstration of overkill. Published January 11, 2019

Beto O’Rourke and his magic border beans
Beto O'Rourke -- or, as he was born, Robert Francis O'Rourke -- tweeted out a video response to President Donald Trump's border wall speech that in essence said this: There's nothing to see here, folks. Go home to your families, eat and be merry. The borders are safe, safe, safe. And then he clapped his hands, spun three times and threw down some magic beans and voila, the borders were indeed safe.

LAS VEGAS -- The Consumer Electronics Show, CES 2019, opened with a bit of embarrassment for Tesla, to put it mildly, when its self-driving model car ran over and "killed" an autonomous robot, Promobot. Making matters worse: It was a hit-and-run. Oh my, you just can't make this stuff up, people. Published January 8, 2019
Rush Limbaugh: ‘Why does Trump have to go it alone?’
Radio's Rush Limbaugh took to airwaves this week to condemn the Democrats who are stymying President Donald Trump's border agenda, as well as the media, filled with members who serve as little more than lapdogs and mouthpieces for the left's talking points. But he reserved his harshest points for the Republicans. Published January 8, 2019
Donald Trump’s border stance an inspiration, no matter what polls say
President Donald Trump has taken a hard-core stand for his long-promised border wall, and this has put him in a deep, deep dump with the American people -- so go the polls.

It's 2019 and if this new year should bring anything, it's a national reclamation of what makes this country the absolute best in the world -- the notion that here, in America, individual rights are recognized as coming from God, not government. There's a resolution worth keeping, wouldn't you say? Published January 5, 2019
Rashida Tlaib, Michigan’s newest Muslim lawmaker, sets Dem tone: ‘Impeach the mother—!’
Rep. Rashida Tlaib is Michigan's newest lawmaker on Capitol Hill, and because she's a Muslim woman raised in "southwest Detroit who didn't speak English," as she self-identified on Twitter, that makes her elevation to public office worthy of historic note. And then she crowed this, right after her swearing-in ceremony, about President Donald Trump: "Impeach the motherf--!" Published January 4, 2019
