Pray for peace, but be prepared for war
Martin Luther King Jr. said in his December 1964 Nobel Lecture that the further humankind goes in terms of material gain, the further humankind drifts on spiritual matters. Wise words. Relevant words for these times. Published November 3, 2018
Hondurans in caravan file ridiculous suit against Donald Trump
A dozen migrants heading toward the United States with intent to storm across its borders -- a la "we have a right to be here!" -- kicked off a lawsuit against President Donald Trump this week, alleging he's violating their Fifth Amendment due process rights. Really. Published November 2, 2018
Borders used to be borders for Democrats, too
Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton -- all these then-Senate Democrats voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006 authorizing, in the words of the legislation, "operational control over the international land and maritime borders of the United States." Published November 2, 2018
A.I. to stop religious wars misses mark with premises
Oxford University researchers have devised what they say is a new artificial intelligence program that will help predict and possibly prevent religious violence around the world. It's based on psychological programming that starts with the premise that all people are naturally peaceful. And that's where the software goes wrong. Published November 1, 2018
It’s not words, it’s morals
It used to be that sticks and stones would break bones, but names would never hurt. Apparently, to the left, though, words are worse than ISIS. Published November 1, 2018
Paul Ryan’s disingenuous denouncement of Donald Trump
Speaker Paul D. Ryan came out in the aftermath of President Donald Trump's widely reported claim to be in the works on an executive order to halt Anchor Baby Syndrome and said, hey you can't do that, followed quickly by this: Republicans got this. Except really, they don't. They haven't, despite the opportunities that have presented. Published October 31, 2018
Consumer confidence soars — and all the Democrats go, gulp
Consumer confidence just hit an 18-year high, from 135.3 in September to 137.9 in October. And all the campaigning Democrats go, gulp. Published October 30, 2018
Hey Barack Obama, Donald Trump’s got your pen and phone
With one quick flick of the writing hand wrist, President Donald Trump could very well put an end to one of America's most contentious, most divisive immigration practices -- anchor babies. Well, well, well, it's like the era of Barack Obama coming to bite Democrats in the butt, now isn't it? Published October 30, 2018
Lester Holt’s whiteface, Jimmy Kimmel’s blackface — it’s all good for liberals
Megyn Kelly came under fire by her NBC bosses for saying that blackface, during her growing up years, was barely a blink on the politically correct radar during Halloween time, and for questioning why a white woman who darkened her face while wearing a Diana Ross costume was assumed to be racist. But it's OK for NBC's nighttime anchor Lester Holt to wear a whiteface to mimic British pop star Susan Boyle? Published October 30, 2018
Sam’s Club paves path to A.I.-driven, human-free shopping
Shopping minus the cashiers -- minus the humans, even. That's where retail is headed, in large part due to the Walmart-owned Sam's Club opening of a new technologically savvy store that offers shoppers the option to check out without having to stand in line, without having to engage in human contact, without even having to remember what they came into the shop to buy.

McDonald’s murderous shooter stopped by armed dad
A dad with a gun put a stop to a shooter who opened fire and injured several -- including the father and one of his sons -- inside a McDonald's restaurant in Alabama. Once again: The Second Amendment saves. Published October 29, 2018
Lessons for the U.S. from EU’s courts of P.C.
The European Court of Human Rights just ruled that a woman who was convicted in a Vienna court and fined for disparaging a religion -- Islam -- after she called out Mohammed as a pedophile did not, as she argued, have her free speech rights infringed. Americans, take note. Lessons can be learned here. Warnings should be heeded. Published October 29, 2018
Megyn Kelly, a victim of despicable, deceptive P.C. police
This is not a defense of Megyn Kelly. This is a defense of sanity. If you've not watched the six-minute or so segment that's the heart and soul of what's being used to show Kelly as a racist, stop reading, go back and watch -- because the headlines and stories and criticisms that have come like pelting hail upon her head have little to do with truth and everything to do with misinformation.

Donald Trump executive order to stop caravan? Great idea
President Donald Trump is mulling an executive order that would stop the caravan in its tracks and send the thousands and thousands of people trying to cross America's borders back to their homes. That makes perfect sense. Published October 26, 2018
Christians can indeed close borders and still be biblical
Christians, listen up: It's quite OK to advocate for tough border controls. It's quite OK to look at this caravan of thousands of people now walking from points south toward America's borders and say to them, "hey, you're not a citizen, you don't have the right to come to this country." Go ahead; God won't get angry. Published October 25, 2018
Nationalist is not an n-word
President Donald Trump, in a speech in Texas, told the adoring crowd he not only considered himself "a nationalist," but also wanted Americans to consider themselves one, too. "Use that word," he said. Indeed. Citizens most decidedly should. Published October 25, 2018
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, George Soros, CNN mailings mark trail to civil war
Federal authorities are investigating suspicious packages that were just sent to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama -- and this is news that comes the same week it was reported a suspicious package containing a suspected bomb was sent to the residence of George Soros. And so the country moves a step closer to civil war. Published October 24, 2018
Caravan clash is coming — and the left can’t wait
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a televised press conference that the thousands of people walking from Central America to the United States would not be allowed to cross. No, not under any circumstances. And because he means it -- and because this long trail of unruly, unconcerned-with-law people mean to cross -- the end result, in the eyes of common sense, means a clash is coming.

Robert Mueller’s sinking Russian collusion ship
A curious report from Bloomberg and Zero Hedge that was then picked up by Rush Limbaugh puts special counsel Robert Mueller in an uncomfortable light -- one, in fact, that shifts investigative eyes his way and suggests his team may have improperly indicted a Russian company during his quest to tie President Donald Trump to collusion. Well, this is a twist in the Russian investigation the left wasn't exactly expecting, isn't it? Published October 23, 2018
Transgenderism is a political figment, not biological truth
Transgenderism may be on its last legs due to President Donald Trump's reported decision to shutter the previous administration's policy of regarding boys as girls and girls as boys and pretending as if God-assigned sexes are as changeable as attire. It's about time we get back to the truth on this issue. Published October 23, 2018
