Reindeer massacre casts dark shadow on Christmas
Apparently, more than 100 reindeer in Norway have been killed over the last few days. This certainly doesn't bode well for Santa believers. Or, for holiday spirits, for that matter. Published November 27, 2017
Susan Sarandon: ‘Hillary people’ wished I was ‘raped’
Susan Sarandon, the 70-year-old Hollywood actress who just made national headlines for saying she was glad Hillary Clinton didn't win the election, says she's been subjected to death threats for her political views. My, how the Democrats hate a dissenter. Published November 27, 2017
America on fire, as love for God cools
America was built on Judeo-Christian principles, steered into existence by Founding Fathers who believed -- yes, even the less religious ones -- that this republic could not survive absent a moral, virtuous people. My, how wise the founders. That was then. This is now: Roy Moore. Al Franken. Published November 22, 2017

Trump rips Marshawn Lynch, U.S. anthem sitter, Mexico anthem stander
Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch decided to stand during the playing of the national anthem in the leadup to Sunday's matchup against the New England Patriots, and for that, President Donald Trump sent out a scathing tweet, soundly criticizing him. Oh, did I forget to mention it was Mexico's national anthem that played in the background? Published November 20, 2017
Sex study shows Brit teens going wild
A new study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health has found today's British teens are taking a more creative approach to sex than their parents, experimenting with more -- trying out new "trends" in sexual practices. And now experts say schools need to teach all this new sex as normal. Published November 20, 2017
Ralph Shortey, Oklahoma pro-Trump Republican, also a child sex trafficker
Former Oklahoma state Sen. Ralph Shortey, a Republican who actually headed up President Donald Trump's campaign in that state, agreed to plead guilty to a charge of child sex trafficking. If Americans learn nothing else from this, it should be this: Evil comes in all forms, even cloaked in Christian conservatism. Published November 20, 2017
Al Franken’s astonishing pardon — from a feminist, no less
Kate Harding, a feminist writer who's penned the book "Nasty Women: Feminism, Resistance and Revolution in Trump's America," said that Sen. Al Franken should do penance for his sexual assault -- you know, the one captured in part on camera -- but not resign from political office. Harding's logic? He's a Democrat and his political voice is needed in Washington, D.C., she said. Astonishing. Published November 18, 2017
Brian Kilmeade, Fox Radio, on latest Roy Moore allegations: ‘I would kick his head in’
Here's a bit that's bound to ratchet all the fiery commentary surrounding Roy Moore even more. During discussion with Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma about a woman who alleged Alabama's Moore called her high school to ask her for a date -- at a time when Moore was in his 30s -- Brian Kilmeade, on his Fox News Radio show, went this side of blunt and said: If that were my daughter, I'd kick Moore in the head.

Al Franken’s days are numbered
Sen. Al Franken, who was just outed on a photograph wearing a big smile and groping the chest of a journalist while she slept, is now facing growing calls -- many, from within his own liberal-minded ranks -- to resign. This, as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Charles Schumer both agreed to put Franken before the ethics committee fires for review. His days are numbered.

Chelsea Handler apologizes to Juanita Broaddrick: ‘I believe you’
Chelsea Handler, leftist activist-slash-comedian, issued an apology to Juanita Broaddrick, the woman who accused Bill Clinton years ago of rape, and said -- prepare to gasp -- "I believe you." The left's long line of defense for all-things-Clinton is finally crumbling. Published November 16, 2017

Roy Moore — for the good of conservatism, it’s time to go
America affords each and every citizen the right of due process, the presumption of innocence over guilt, the constitutional right to stand before one's accusers and face the courtroom music. And that includes Roy Moore. But for the good of the Republican Party -- for the good of the conservative cause -- it's time he stepped aside and let another fill his shoes. He simply can't be effective any longer. Published November 16, 2017
Nikki Haley quite rightly rocks U.N. boat on Venezuela
Human rights matter -- that's the message a resolute U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley just sent the Security Council's way, reminding that Venezuela, land of the socialists, shouldn't be allowed to skate on civil abuses. This is why Haley rocks. She's unafraid to take the high ground on behalf of America, even when world players disapprove. Published November 16, 2017
Roy Moore? How about Joe Biden
If Roy Moore has a seedy past when it comes to sexual improprieties with underage and young girls -- at least, allegedly -- and should therefore drop his aspirations for higher political office, then so, too, should Joe Biden. Published November 15, 2017
Mark Levin to Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan: ‘Resign’
Conservative radio star Mark Levin sent a blunt rebuke Republican leadership's way, calling on Sen. Mitch McConnell and Rep. Paul Ryan to step away from their offices and resign.
