Boy Scouts of America fall on tough moral-compass times
The Boy Scouts of America used to be the place to send sons to reinforce godly behaviors, provide proper moral compasses, instill common courtesies and help raise the next generation of men in the value-driven way they should go. Now? They've fallen a bit in ye olde traditional leanings, and even the atheists are apparently gunning for them. Published June 12, 2018
Princeton pressing psych chats to turn men into little girls
Princeton University is now pressing male students to participate in a bi-weekly discussion group on "healthy masculinity," led by a licensed psychologist, no less. Group organizers want men to cry more, it seems. Published June 11, 2018

The mad money rush to market self-driving cars
With self-driving vehicle technology, big bucks are on the line. And in the words of at least one mechanical engineering expert, the rush to produce -- the rush to profit -- is both real and dangerous. Truly, the real winner of this autonomous car race will be the one who forgoes the short-term IPOs for the longer-term of consumer confidence. Published June 9, 2018
‘No Gays Allowed’ sign gives Christianity a bad name
Dear Mr. Jeff Amyx: Tear down this sign. Amyx, a Baptist minister and the owner of a Tennessee hardware store, has reportedly decided to celebrate the Supreme Court's recent ruling regarding a cake baker who refused creative service to a gay couple by putting up this sign in the front window: "No Gays Allowed." He shoudn't. Published June 8, 2018
Ding, dong, the Obamacare witch is — almost — dead
Lawyers for the White House said they wouldn't take the federal government's side and defend an Obamacare suit that's being waged by 20 attorneys general from Republican-dominated states. And with that, sounds the final bell on Obamacare. Published June 8, 2018
CrossFit, the latest example of raging, rabid leftist intolerance
An executive at CrossFit put out on Twitter that he was happy a local gym decided to cancel a workout session in honor of LGBTQ Pride Month because, in his view, "celebrating 'pride' is a sin" and "the intolerance of the LGBTQ ideology toward any alternative views is mind-blowing." For that, he was fired. And bam, his point's underscored Published June 7, 2018
George Soros election plot for California goes down in flames
So billionaire George Soros poured tons of dollars into different district attorney races in California, hoping -- no, expecting -- big wins for the progressive left, just as he and his liberal cronies had scored in similar campaigns in New York. But the effort failed. Went down in flames, really. Published June 7, 2018
Bill Clinton, a gift for the GOP that keeps on giving
Bill Clinton, hereafter to be known as the Tone Deaf President, has had a heck of a week trying to shove his lecherous affair with a young White House intern into a #MeToo box, as if the two could ever fit together as one. But for Republicans, this is all good. Published June 7, 2018
Miss America swimsuit segment IS pretty stupid
Aside from men and lesbians, there really aren't going to be that many beauty pageant watchers who miss the swimsuit portion of Miss America. The whole ogle-fest is just that -- an antiquated means of determining which woman among a crowd of women has the best body. It's good Miss America's giving it the boot. Published June 6, 2018
Bulletproof backpacks for school kids — the left’s next hysterical move
Students at St. Cornelius middle school in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, were handed out "ballistic shields" to place in their backpacks as part of their graduation ceremony to high school. Bulletproof backpacks. Way to spike the hysteria, guys. Published June 6, 2018
Regulatory Memorial madness: Every 3 hours, a new rule
Congress and the federal agencies may give the impression of being a do-nothing entity, but the numbers don't lie, and what the numbers are saying is that feds pushed through 54 new and finalized rules in the last week. That's on average a new rule every three hours, according to one watchdog nonprofit. Published June 5, 2018
Hillary Clinton not off the hook just yet

America’s moral compass worst it’s ever been: Poll
Americans say the country as it stands today is worse off morally than in past years -- and worse off, morally speaking, to a tune that's never before seen. Can't say this is surprising. It's not rocket science, people. Published June 5, 2018
Terry McAuliffe, Clinton money man, makes ludicrous stab at morals
Terry McAuliffe, the power broker of Bill Clintondom, was out and about this past weekend telling MSNBC news watchers how immorally and horribly his old presidential pal treated Monica Lewinsky. Well, isn't that special. But McAuliffe speaking of morals is like watching O.J. pull on a too-tight leather glove. Something is painfully amiss. Published June 4, 2018
Iran’s call to fight ‘bullying’ Donald Trump a diplomatic boon for America
Iran has called on the countries of the world -- the ones that care, anyway -- to stand up to that big ol' bad bully Donald Trump and join forces to save the nuclear deal from the trash heap of U.S. history. Good. Now America can see clearly who's friend, who's enemy and who wants to play pussyfoot with a rogue, despotic nation over a principled, free America. Published June 4, 2018
Raging social media idiots of the left
It's no shocker to say the left, as a whole, needs a good mouth-washing with soap. But it's not just politicians who are affected by the left's vicious and vile vocabulary. It's anyone with conservative leanings who dares post conservative thoughts on social media. Published June 2, 2018
Samantha Bee, Keith Olbermann and a stunning shaming from CNN
CNN's Brooke Baldwin weighed in on the controversy surrounding comedian Samantha Bee's calling of Ivanka Trump a "feckless c--t" by slamming -- get this -- Bee. And then she slammed the vile Keith Olbermann. And the left, for hypocrisy. It was a stunning slap-down, in and of itself. But it was all the more eye-opening given Baldwin's affiliation with mainstream media. Published June 1, 2018
David Hogg, the anti-gun extortionist with Al Sharpton style
David Hogg, one of the students from the Parkland, Florida, shooting incident who's now gone punch-drunk on anti-gun juice. He's using a shakedown style of First Amendment-ing. It's what made Al Sharpton much of his money. Published June 1, 2018
Mitt Romney voted for his wife, not Donald Trump, for president?!
Mitt Romney, failed presidential candidate and former governor of Massachusetts, finally revealed the name of the person he selected for commander-in-chief at the ballot boxes in 2016 -- his wife.
