California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye leaves GOP — good riddance
So Tani Cantil-Sakauye, the chief justice of the Supreme Court of California, has left the Republican Party, in part, because of the backlash from all the sexual allegations that swirled about Brett Kavanaugh, newly confirmed U.S. Supreme Court justice. Well, goodbye and good riddance. Published December 14, 2018
Democrats shaken by the Donald Trump-fueled fight
Poor Democrats. They just aren't used to being treated this way. They just aren't used to the fight. Published December 14, 2018
Mika Brzezinski by a different name would be fired
Mika Brzezinski of "Morning Joe" fame made a tasteless joke about Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as possibly a "wanna dictator's butt-boy" during an MSNBC segment with Sen. Dick Durbin. And much as she apologized, fact is: If Brzezinski were named, say, Tucker Carlson, or Sean Hannity, or Laura Ingraham, today's mainstream media would be filled with expressions of outrage.

Chuck Schumer and his ‘petty campaign pledge’ shows penchant for lying
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer chastised President Donald Trump for his "petty campaign pledge" of building a border wall -- and bam, that's what's wrong with today's batch of elitist politicians. Campaign pledges aren't "petty." Published December 13, 2018
The censorship of the American mind
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education found in its recent "Spotlight on Speech Codes 2019" that across the country, at 466 of America's so-called "top colleges and universities," students are not allowed to fully exercise their First Amendment freedom of speech rights. My, how the pendulum has swung far from the 1960s. Published December 13, 2018
The left and its national security problem
For whatever reason, Democrats don't give the impression of caring a whit about the state of national security -- which, if you carry that to its natural conclusion, would mean they don't care much about the safety and security of American citizens, either. How else to describe their dug-in resistance to the border security America so desperately needs? Published December 12, 2018
Caravan migrants show selves to be bunch of blackmailers
A bunch of migrants from Central America reportedly sent a list of demands to the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana that went like this: Pay us $50,000, and we'll go home. Don't pay us, and we'll stay. Oh, and in the meantime, speed up the asylum process so more of us can enter America. Does this scenario end well, in anybody's imaginations? Published December 12, 2018
A.I. experts warn of loss of free will, need for morality
Pew Research Center asked 979 technology experts, business and policy leaders, scientists and science-minded activists and the like just how they thought artificial intelligence would impact humans by the year 2030 -- and while 63 percent waxed positive, another 37 percent warned of the negatives. That's a sizable percentage. Published December 11, 2018
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s weak whine on Paul Ryan
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went on a bit of a whine fest on Twitter, calling out the country for its so-called "double standards" of giving Rep. Paul D. Ryan high marks for getting elected at a young age while calling her a "fraud" for doing the same. Thing is: Ryan's not a socialist. Published December 11, 2018
Merry Christmas — make way for the satanists
A sculpture from the Satanic Temple's Chicago chapter was just installed at the Illinois Capitol. Merry Christmas. Make way for the mocking. Published December 11, 2018
John Brennan’s rip of Donald Trump forgets this one crucial fact
Former CIA director and loud-mouthed hater of all-things-this-White House John Brennan ripped into President Donald Trump with an angry tweet that crowed about the "trouble you are in" and cheered the fact that "you will never have the opportunity to run for public office again." Except that's wrong. Published December 10, 2018
Michael Savage at White House: Jews at ‘high water mark of their existence in America’
Talk radio icon Michael Savage, in an invited Hanukkah appearance at the White House, told President Donald Trump that Jewish people and minorities, under his administration, had hit "the high water mark of their existence in America," he said. This is hardly how the media and left portray it. Published December 10, 2018
Democrats still regurgitating, after all these years
After two years of President Donald Trump, a midterm election and a Russia collusion investigation that's led nowhere, you'd think Democrats would've found a new rally call. But nope. It's "impeach Trump" in 2016, before he even took office; it's "impeach Trump" in 2018, just as the clock's about to strike 2019. Published December 10, 2018
Heather Nauert: Success stems from America First, bold and brave
Ninety percent of Heather Nauert's job will be done if she only stands tall in the face of all the globalized hand-wringers of the world -- if she only, for instance, does what outgoing Ambassador Nikki Haley has done, what former Ambassador John Bolton once did. Published December 7, 2018
Secret Service chills with facial recognition by White House
The U.S. Secret Service is testing a new facial recognition program at the White House, supposedly simply to identify their own volunteer agents in the public areas in the vicinity of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Well, what comes next? That is indeed the question. Published December 6, 2018
Welfare for immigrant households drain on economy — and spirit
The latest Census Bureau numbers find that more than seven of 10 households headed by immigrants in California, and nearly the same amount in Texas, are on the taxpayer dole. So much for the Democrat sheep who bleat that concerns of immigrant-tied drains on welfare are simply rooted in racism and hate. Published December 5, 2018
A.I. robots good for Walmart — not so much for space station
Walmart just announced 360 janitor robots with data-collecting capabilities will make their debuts at select stores before the end of January. Let's hope these 'bots do better than the ones sent to help astronauts at the International Space Station. Published December 4, 2018
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slams private health care for ‘death panels’
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just tweeted: "[W]e have for-profit 'death panels' now: they are companies + boards saying you're on your own bc they won't cover a critical procedure or medicine." Talk about a twist on truth. Published December 3, 2018
Tuberculosis and chickenpox and AIDS, oh my
Democrats like to swoon over the sad plights of the suffering masses making their way to U.S. borders right now, saying the poor people of points south are only trying to do right by their families, find suitable jobs and safe homes and so forth. But they do so from the safe distance of Washington, D.C. Published December 1, 2018
Mike Huckabee unleashes on Jeff Flake — and it’s oh so true
Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor and ex-presidential candidate, took to Twitter just recently to let loose on Sen. Jeff Flake -- and oh how so, so true. Published November 30, 2018
