Facebook fight, as ‘Warriors for Christ’ temporarily shuttered
Facebook temporarily shut down the page "Warriors for Christ." Why? The official corporate line is that the page violated the social media giant's community standards. But the Christ fighters have a few other thoughts -- namely, that Facebook is simply showing its pro-LGBT, anti-Christian bias. Published January 3, 2018
DACA illegals can’t speak English: Study
Fully a quarter of illegals who are eligible for the DACA program can't speak English at all -- 46 percent can only speak it a little. That's according to a new study from the Center for Immigration Studies. And you know what that means, don't you? It's not your imagination. Published January 3, 2018
Climate alarmists, desperate and cold, now say chocolate’s in danger
Climate change alarmists, apparently alarmed by the frigid temperatures that have gripped much of the United States, have deftly switched tactics and moved from warning about the warming to sounding alarms about -- get this -- chocolate. Yes, that is their play. That chocolate will soon disappear from the face of the earth. Published January 2, 2018
Baltimore’s ‘Bodymore’ murder monicker a lesson in liberal leadership

Donald Trump’s Pakistan tweet reminds: This is the new America

Donald Trump wrongfully fingered for failed race relations
Americans, fully 60 percent of them, say President Donald Trump's White House has ushered in a new state of worsened race relations around the country, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.

Jim Jordan’s subpoena quest for FBI, DOJ anti-Trump truths
Thank goodness for Rep. Jim Jordan -- yes? He's the Ohio guy on Capitol Hill right now really gunning for the behind-scenes on the whole Russia collusion so-far sham investigation into Team Trump to explain itself -- to explain why, oh why, all these uncomfortable federal investigators' biases keep on popping. And he's helping to prepare the subpoenas as we speak. Published December 20, 2017
Facebook’s facial ID technology — unnerving and creepy
Facebook, as many may or may not be aware, has launched a new facial recognition platform called Photo Review that gives an alert to those whose faces show up in new posts. Why? Or better yet -- remember PRISM? Published December 20, 2017
Columbia, S.C., on cusp of OK-ing useless bump stock ban
Columbia, South Carolina, Mayor Steven Benjamin, a Democrat, said city council members are poised to approve a new ordinance that bans bump stocks, the firearm add-on that critics say turns a semi-automatic into a fully automatic -- albeit without much control. Useless. Useless, useless and useless. Published December 19, 2017
Sorry, secularists, you ain’t killing Christmas
A new poll from Pew Research Center's Religion & Public Life finds most Americans see a decline in the religious aspect of Christmas, and that an ever-shrinking majority think the whole Jesus-Christ-born-in-a-manger reason for the season is just bunk -- fairy-tale fallacy. Well bah humbug to that. Let's say we kick the secularists to the curb on this one. Published December 19, 2017
Hollywood actresses to wear black dresses, to protest harassment — at black-tie affair
What courage, what bravery, what an unmitigated bold stroke of in-your-face protest -- Hollywood actresses attending the 2018 Golden Globes have agreed to don black for the event, to send a solidarity-sistah message around the world that goes like this: Thou shalt not sexually harass. Wait a moment, isn't this a black-tie affair, anyway? Published December 19, 2017
Luis Elizondo, ex-Pentagon UFO hunter: ‘We may not be alone’
A former Pentagon official who oversaw its highly secretive Unidentified Flying Object -- yes, UFO -- program said on CNN to host Erin Burnett that Americans may have been having visitors from afar for quite some time. And that the government has kept it quite on the hush-and-hush. Oh great, just what we need. With all the government Section 702 secrecy, all the government FISA court curiosities, all the government Russia collusion crap going on -- another government secret. Published December 19, 2017
‘Jingle Bells’ racist — and Rudolph’s a Commie
The age-old Christmastime favorite "Jingle Bells" is now racist, according to a Boston University professor, who claimed in a paper -- make that "Paper" -- that its first public performance was done with blackface actors. Poor Massachusetts. First Elizabeth "Pocohontas" Warren; now Kyna Hamill, theater historian. Published December 18, 2017
Linda Sarsour accused of sex abuse cover-up
Linda Sarsour, one of Islam's greatest propagandists and, oddly enough -- given the Muslim religion's overall doggy way of treating women -- one of Feminist World's emerging heroines, has been accused of bullying a sexual abuse victim into silence. Well now, isn't this a twist. Published December 18, 2017
U.N., give it up: Fighting Donald Trump’s Jerusalem declaration a lost cause
This is why the United Nations is virtually useless -- and anti-American. The U.N. Security Council is mulling a draft resolution that would overturn President Donald Trump's announced recognition of Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel. Published December 18, 2017
Adultery is not sexual harassment
Addie Zinone, a former production assistant for the "Today Show," has come forward to say she and Matt Lauer engaged in a consensual sexual encounter in the 2000 time frame -- but that she was a victim of his sexually harassing nature just the same. Maybe. But let's be clear. Adultery is not the same as sexual harassment. Published December 16, 2017
Catholic Church pressed to lift celibacy, dime out confessing abusers
The Catholic Church, as everybody knows, has a problem with its priests preying on little children, and with its higher-ups covering up the sexual abuse scandals. So a new report in Australia is recommending the church lift its celibacy requirements for the diocesan clergy -- the idea being that if these members of the church could have sex with, say, wives, they wouldn't be chasing after the choir boys. This makes practical sense. Published December 15, 2017

Rowling, the author of the "Harry Potter" series that was made into several movies, weighed in on the Alabama Senate election to say that Roy Moore, who spoke of how God was in control during his explanation to supporters about his refusal to concede, was indeed correct -- God was definitely in control. It was her next statement that raises eyebrows. Rowling, in a tweet, added: "What [Moore] didn't realise was, She's black." Published December 15, 2017

Doug Jones — and Donald Trump’s life just got a lot harder
President Donald Trump has been beating a dead horse in Congress for almost a year now, trying to pass his agendas legislatively through a Senate that's dominated by Republicans yet consistently falls to Democratic Party will because of an ever-looming threat of filibuster. It's only going to get tougher for Trump. Prepare for the stalled and even dropped legislation. Published December 14, 2017
