Donald Trump’s rising numbers suck wind from anti-GOP polls
President Donald Trump's favor with the people has jumped in recent days to a point that places him higher than even what media-fawned, leftist-loved Barack Obama could brag in the lead-up to the midterms. This, as polls, pollsters and pundits keep predicting doom and gloom for the Republicans this November. Published October 23, 2018
George Soros and his ‘rented evangelicals’ outed by Christian leaders
A new video from the American Association of Evangelicals reveals how George Soros, through his many funding ventures, has been busily infiltrating the Christian base in America to divide, and ultimately conquer, the religious minded within the Republican Party. Truly, with the left, political wars know no bounds. Published October 22, 2018
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the socialist likens climate change to Nazi fight
Today's fight against climate change is yesterday's fight against the Nazis -- at least, that's how socialist legislative wanna-be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez puts it. This is what the Democrats are bringing to the table for the midterms, a House candidate who ties climate change to evil murderers in a potatoes, potahtoes kind of way? Published October 22, 2018
Blue wave, schmue wave, polls are almost always wrong
Listen to the Democrats, and what's coming this November is a so-called blue wave of tidal proportions that sweeps out all those riff-raffy Republicans and ushers in a marked majority of left-leaning liberals in both House and Senate -- and it's a takeover they say is clear backlash to Donald Trump. Grain of salt, meet prognosticators. Published October 20, 2018
Pro-Trump comedians kick off ‘Deplorables Tour,’ Democrats in their sights
A handful of conservative comedians are going on tour to fight back against what they call the left's "stranglehold" on entertainment. Well, it's about time a voice or two arose to take on the Jimmy Kimmels, the Kathy Griffins, the Stephen Colberts of the comedy world. Published October 19, 2018

Polio-like paralyzing disease hits hundreds — but don’t call it polio
The United States was declared "polio-free" in 1979, a feat the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says is "thanks to [an] effective vaccine." But now it's back -- or is it? The government says no, the condition that's been inflicting hundreds with polio-like symptoms is not, in fact, polio. It's polio-like. It's polio-pretty much. But it's not polio.

DARPA turns to psychology to create machines with common sense
When it comes to building artificial intelligence with good old-fashioned common sense, elusive is thy name. Many have tried. Many have failed. DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, aims to rectify that by bridging technology with -- get this -- psychology. Published October 18, 2018
Hillary Clinton’s dwindling power
Hillary Clinton, never one for the conservatives, has now managed to isolate -- nay, tick off -- even the hardest core of her supporters.

Donald Trump vows U.S. military to ‘CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER’
President Donald Trump, in an early morning tweet, vowed to put a stop to the flow of foreigners making their way from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador into America by using U.S. military, if necessary, to close and protect the southern borders. And with that, Trump's poll numbers, among his base, no doubt flew skyward. Published October 18, 2018
Pastor Andrew Brunson puts focus back on what matters

Minnesota Republicans attacked in streets show true colors of left
A couple of campaigning Minnesota Republicans who were attacked in public -- one at a restaurant, the other when she asked why he kicked away her political sign -- aren't incidences of violence that simply show the signs of heated political times.

Michael Savage nails it: Antifa-type thugs the ‘brownshirts’ of Democrats
Radio talk show icon Michael Savage has hit the nail on the head -- again -- and called out the antifa-type thugs who wield baseball bats in the streets as the "brownshirts" of the Democratic Party. Hey now, walk like a duck, squawk like a duck, that makes you a duck Published October 17, 2018
‘First Man,’ the moon landing movie that omitted U.S. flag, falls short on sales
"First Man," the movie that was supposed to showcase the historical greatness of the first man to walk the moon, Neil Armstrong -- but that omitted the triumphant and patriotic planting of the flag of record from the very country that made this greatness possible, America -- has suffered a bit of a red face with its opening weekend ticket sales. Sales were projected at $21 million but came in short, at $16.5 million. Published October 16, 2018
Elizabeth Warren, the Boston Red Sox’s Bill Buckner pariah of politics
Elizabeth Warren, who took the puzzling step of announcing her DNA test results showing she was less Native American than most European Americans, has now come under fire from the Cherokee Nation. And how rightly so. Warren has become to politics what Bill Buckner has been to Red Sox fans for decades -- a pariah. Published October 16, 2018

Even Joy Behar of ‘The View’ thinks Hillary Clinton’s full of it
By now, everybody's heard about Hillary Clinton's denial that hubby Bill abused his presidential power by having an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, and denial that he should have stepped aside.

Amazon’s sexist A.I. reveals broader weaknesses of technology
Technology's only as good as its imperfect human programmers. That's why, in the end, the best A.I. should always be a partner to humankind, not a replacement. Published October 13, 2018
#MeToo ought to emphasize common sense, not just victimhood
#MeToo's an important crusade; sexual harassment, assault, attack are all blots on humanity, particularly against the female side of humanity, and ought to prosecuted to the fullest extent of applicable laws. But it'd be nice if #MeToo weren't simply a finger-point. It'd be nice if the campaign hit hard as an educational tool, as well. Published October 12, 2018
