Schiff’s disingenuous try at painting Trump as dangerous
For those who didn't have time to tune in to the House Intelligence Committee's hearing for the FBI's James Comey and the NSA's Michael Rogers, here's a hint of what you've missed: a Democratic take-down attempt of President Donald Trump. A Democratic ploy to showcase the president as dangerous to America's security. Published March 20, 2017

Trump wiretap claims? Well, Obama did secretly spy
Sen. Susan Collins, Republican from Maine, took to national television airwaves over the weekend to insist that President Donald Trump explain why he decided it was OK to accuse Barack Obama of wiretapping his conversations in Trump Tower.

U.N. says it’s International Day of Happiness — so smile, dang it
Today is the International Day of Happiness. That's according to the United Nations, which decreed the day back in 2013 and has used all its global might to enforce its provisions on an annual basis since. So go forth and be happy. Dammit. Published March 20, 2017
Cinco de Mayo canceled as Mexicans fear Trump deportations
A Cinco de Mayo celebration called El Carnaval de Puebla, held each year in Philadelphia, has just been suddenly canceled -- and in short order, it's due to President Donald Trump.

Marines, sadly, go soft for snowflakes
Marines, long regarded the tough guy fighting force of the United States -- the branch above politically correct reproach, the one able to withstand the progressive onslaughts that have permeated America's military in recent years -- have a new, tailor-made message for millennials. And it's a bit on the softy side. Published March 17, 2017
Anti-police ‘pig’ art must go — and stay gone
A federal judge is poised to issue a ruling any day now about the fate of a controversial piece of art in the U.S. Capitol that shows a policeman as a pig -- and the fact that this even has to go to court shows not just the power, but the utter ridiculousness, of the progressive movement in America, circa 2017. Congress should not be in the business of promoting the idea that police are pigs. Published March 17, 2017
Civil asset forfeiture reform rears again — thank goodness
Sen. Rand Paul and Rep. Tim Walberg, both Republicans, have re-introduced one of the most important pieces of legislation to come forward in decades that will secure the rights of Americans to be safe in their possessions and properties -- a rollback to civil asset forfeiture laws. Speedy passage is needed. Published March 17, 2017
Media spin be hanged — food stamps falling and that’s great
And leftists say there's no such thing as a left-leaning media -- that media bias is all in conservatives' heads. Well, look at this headline, from The Washington Post, about the drop in numbers of illegals applying for food stamp benefits: "Immigrants are going hungry so Trump won't deport them."

No, Julie Andrews, cutting ‘the arts’ does not kill Bert and Ernie
So President Donald Trump wants to abolish the National Endowment for the Arts -- and now the artsy world is in a panic, as if the White House proposal means the end of creativity everywhere. Listen up, Left: People painted before the NEA, you know. Published March 17, 2017
Travel ban rulings expose left’s hypocrisy, wickedness
Here's a question that's floating in the winds of judicial clamp-down on President Donald Trump's latest travel ban: Since when did anybody on the left, to include activist judges, consider Trump and his blunt style of speaking anything but clownish in the first place? Published March 16, 2017
John McCain jumps the shark — slams Rand Paul as Putin pet
Sen. John McCain, the Republican from Arizona, apparently facing a brief lull in all the television interviews he's given lately to attack President Donald Trump, took to the Senate floor to deliver a scathing verbal assault on a fellow senator, another Republican, this one, Rand Paul from Kentucky.

Doctors warn: Donald Trump’s climate change can kill kids
Seriously, is there any place climate change cannot go? In the creative minds of the left, the latest call-out for government intervention for the environment comes from the medical community -- the world of doctors and physicians. Published March 16, 2017
Obamacare repeal: Lying Congress and the lying anti-repealers
Congress isn't going to repeal Obamacare. That whole Republican-driven mantra that's been making the media wave since 2010 -- the one that blasted Barack Obama as a socialist for signing government health care into law and that vowed a concerted fight for repeal? Bunk. Bull. Boldface lie. Published March 16, 2017
MSNBC: Thank you — first for Rachel Maddow and now, Joe Scarborough
MSNBC, fresh off a red face from Rachel Maddow TV revelations that were tantamount to reporting, "hey, President Donald Trump paid his taxes," apparently tried a bounce-back of sorts with another host, Joe Scarborough, who attempted to prove his mettle by taking on a Top Trump Dog, attorney Michael Cohen, via Twitter. And in social media lingo? LOL. Published March 15, 2017
Chelsea Clinton feeds fire of own political run
Please, God, make it stop. Eight years of Bill Clinton. Two White House tries of Hillary Clinton. Four more years of Hillary at State. And now their child, Chelsea, seems to be positioning herself for some kind of political run, too? No, no, no, no, no. Published March 15, 2017
Rachel Maddow, done in by her own ‘fake news’ mouth

Nancy Pelosi’s Twitter feed: It’s still the repeal, stupid
Be careful what you ask for, as the saying goes. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi learned the hard way not to ask unfiltered, un-vetted constituents for their stories on Obamacare -- because what she heard back was hardly what she wanted. Published March 14, 2017
Sharia is not compatible in U.S. — and here’s why
Gotta love the Sharia. Our good friends in Saudi Arabia, the ones we dare not criticize for human rights issues because of strategic national security reasons, have launched a girls' council to help on the women's rights' public affairs front -- but unfortunately, it's Wahhabi style.
