Democrats’ double standard on racism
Don Lemon, by another name, would be vilified by the left, fired by CNN and relegated to the scrap heap of has-been celebrity-ism. But Lemon furthers the left's narrative against the right -- the one that says President Donald Trump is racist. So he's safe. Published October 12, 2018
Christine Blasey Ford’s bogus ‘bravery’ award nomination
Christine Blasey Ford has been nominated for the University of North Carolina's highly esteemed alumna award for speaking publicly about the allegations of sexual assault she hurled then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's way. What a bogus award -- what a bogus nomination. Published October 11, 2018
Lindsey Graham, a GOP giant who’s finally awakening
Something's happened to Sen. Lindsey Graham. He's gone full court, full steam ahead conservative, fully on the same side as President Donald Trump. And have to say, it's not only about time. It's refreshingly, cheeringly, notably high-fives-all-around time. Published October 11, 2018
Michael Bloomberg, man of all parties, no principle
This is why nobody in their right minds buys into politicians as examples of principled people. Michael Bloomberg, who's changed his political party affiliation three times, is a Democrat once again. Published October 10, 2018
Rand Paul’s right — ‘someone is going to be killed’
Sen. Rand Paul hit the nail on the head in an interview with Kentucky radio host Leland Conway when he predicted this hotly charged political atmosphere was going to move from mayhem to murder. Remember Rep. Steve Scalise? It already very nearly did. Published October 10, 2018

Google’s disturbing DeepMind: Potatoes, potahtoes, A.I. could kill or could save
A few months ago, Google's DeepMind department discovered that in a gathering game over Who Can Get the Most Apples, vying artificial intelligence systems wouldn't hesitate to go aggressive and shoot to injure, stop or even kill, if need be. That's a bit of problem, given the push to integrate A.I. into nearly all aspects of humanity. Published October 9, 2018

Colin Powell, who served in the lead spot at the State Department under George W. Bush, took a nationally televised opportunity on CNN and turned it into hit job on President Donald Trump. Again. Published October 8, 2018
Democrats could use a good party cleansing
Democrats, at one time, when JFK was president, for instance, may have been able to make a sensible case for serving as a party that puts its people first, its country at the forefront, and its compass fixed directly on helping the downtrodden and forgotten of society. But those days are long gone. Published October 6, 2018
Brett Kavanaugh protesters anti-American, tilting toward mental illness
It's one thing to exercise a First Amendment right to assemble and petition the government for redress -- to "peaceably" gather together for a protest, as the exact language of this particular Bill of Right specifies. It's another thing entirely to chase senators through the halls of Congress. Published October 5, 2018
Robot sex doll brothel slimes toward Texas
A brothel of robotic sex dolls set to open shop in Texas this month hit a snag after local authorities, fueled by a field of concerned petitioners, found a building inspection gig and put a temporary stop to KinkySDollS' plans.

Sons of America, beware

U.N. court, laughably, orders U.S. to dump sanctions
You had me at the headline."U.S. ordered to lift some Iran sanctions by International Court of Justice," blared NBC News, above its Associated Press story. Ordered is a pretty funny word, given U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton's recent takedown of another global judicial body, just last month. Published October 3, 2018
