David Brock’s brag of successful ‘resistance’ a bit misplaced

David Brock, leftists extraordinaire and one of Hillary Clinton's biggest fans, said the left's summer of "resistance" against all-things-President Donald Trump, all-things-Republican, is moving along with great success. Except the example he cited actually shows how the "resistance" movement is floundering and failing. Published June 8, 2017

Eric Holder slammed for ‘Fast and Furious’ obstruction

Eric Trump — rightly — slams vicious left as ‘not even people’

Eric Trump, following in his father's footsteps, issued some blunt talk about the very vicious left and its very vicious hatred -- and now, predictably enough, his comments are being a bit skewed, no doubt, in order to drum up some of that vicious leftist hatred to generate even more anti-Trump headlines. Sigh. It's such a cycle of hatred we live in right now in America. Eric Trump is right. Published June 7, 2017

Iran under siege as ISIS stages Ramadan terror

Joe Scarborough makes a deranged case for Donald Trump to go

Joe Scarborough just can't help himself when it comes to criticizing President Donald Trump. On his most recent show, the former Republican congressman suggested Trump was deranged, and that Congress ought to consider removing him -- an apparent hat tip to the long-running Democratic Party's call to impeach.

Bill Maher, the N-word and the hypocrisy of left

If Bill Maher were Tim Allen, he'd be toast right now. Why? Maher, who's a leftist, dropped the N-word on a recent HBO broadcast, sparked a firestorm, but apologized and all's right with the world. Had a conservative comedian like Allen done the same, the forgiveness wouldn't be so rapid in coming. Published June 6, 2017

U.S. rates among cleanest on UN’s own pollution list

Well, well, well, isn't this a bit embarrassing for the climate change crowd. The United States, it seems, isn't the big bad polluter of the world the leftists in the environmental movement would have believed. Nope -- not even close. Published June 5, 2017

2nd Amendment saves, as Oklahoman shoots babies’ would-be killer

Yes, indeed, the Second Amendment does save.

Reza Aslan, CNN’s go-to religious guy, tweets Trump’s ‘s—t’

This is religion, lefty style. CNN host Reza Aslan, the left's go-to guy for punditry on all-all-things religious, spiritual and Jesus in nature, took to Twitter to denounce President Donald Trump's reaction to the London terror bombings by calling the White House chief a -- wait for it, wait for it -- a "piece of s--t."

Portland protests show utter hatred of left

A rally in Portland, Oregon, aimed at showing support for President Donald Trump -- and for free speech -- turned nasty and violent after the anti-crowd turned out in full force, carting weapons, bent on creating chaos. And let the media spin begin. The Washington Post kicked it off this way, with a blaring headline that read: "Right-wing free speech rally draws massive counterprotests in Portland."

Why America won’t save the Christians

Saving Christians in overseas' spots from religious-based persecution and murder would require leaders in America to admit some hard political truths -- truths that ultimately would pit cherished First Amendment freedoms against the realities of Islam. Published June 3, 2017

Evergreen State College, racked by racism, shuts over threat

Evergreen State College, the Olympia, Washington, supposed place of higher learning that's been turned into little more than a playground for radical leftist activists, has been temporarily shut, after receiving a threat phoned in to law enforcement.

Kathy Griffin, of bloody Trump head fame, now plays victim

Kathy Griffin, the sometimes comedian who was just ousted from her sometime CNN hosting slot -- and fired from New Year's Eve broadcasting duties -- after she posed for pictures while holding a faux bloodied head of President Donald Trump, may have apologized for her outrageous behavior. But now? She's playing the victim. Published June 2, 2017
