James Younger, 7, the next victim of LGBTQ insanity

James Younger is a little 7-year-old boy whose mother, Anne Georgulas, believed he wanted to be a girl -- mostly because he liked the Disney princess movie, "Frozen." But James' father, Jeffrey Younger, thought otherwise. So off to court the divorced couple went. And unbelievably, jurors found in favor of the mom. Published October 24, 2019

Republicans bare their teeth

Republicans, upset by Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff's secret hearings on impeachment, stormed a closed-door session of Schiff's secret hearings on impeachment -- effectively putting a halt to Schiff's secret hearings on impeachment.

Lynching, smynching: Who cares

So Trump called the leftist-fueled attempt to impeach him a lynching. And now the political world's on fire, seeing images of trees and dangling ropes and hanging blacks and so forth and so on, and drawing conclusions of this president's inherent racism and hatred toward blacks. Oh, please. It's called figurative language, folks. Published October 23, 2019

Boston mulls banning b-word after woman cries of hurt feelings

A Democrat serving Boston has successfully pushed forward for vote a bill aimed at banning use of the b-word -- rhymes with ditch, hitch and, Happy Halloween to the kiddies, witch. Well now, at the risk of leading the city of the original freedom fighting tea partier down another path of censorship -- holy sh--. (Rhymes with twit.) Published October 22, 2019

CAIR spins bogus anti-Trump web, as Nigerian boys suffer Islamic abuse

A few weeks ago, authorities in Nigeria uncovered hundreds of cases of horrendous abuse of boys at so-called Islamic reform schools, "Almajiris" -- abuse so wicked it was described by one local law enforcement official as tantamount to "modern slavery. But don't expect CAIR National to do much about it. Published October 22, 2019

Mitt Romney’s pathetic ‘Pierre Delecto’ shame

Mitt Romney, once upon a time -- once upon a Massachusetts time when his barely Republican credential stood apart from the multitude of liberals as something of a fresh difference -- used to have a political career. Now he's the butt of jokes. And honestly, this is something he's brought upon himself. Published October 22, 2019

Adam Schiff, old ‘shifty’ eyes, facing GOP censure fire

House GOPers are forcing a vote on Rep. Adam Schiff's censure. What good will that do? Likely: Little. The House is Democratic-controlled and honestly, censuring someone as "shifty" as Schiff, as Rep. Jody Hice calls him, would have about as much effect on controlling his anti-Donald Trump behavior as pelting him with marshmallows. Published October 21, 2019

Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, listens during a Democratic presidential primary debate hosted by CNN/New York Times at Otterbein University, Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2019, in Westerville, Ohio. (AP Photo/John Minchillo)

Tulsi Gabbard may be anti-Hillary Clinton, but she’s still far-left fringe

Democratic candidate for president Tulsi Gabbard, in a widely watched Twitter-posted YouTube video, condemned the "rich, powerful" gang of elites who surround Hillary Clinton and demand Democrats either "toe the line" or stay silent. That's good. But let's remember: Gabbard is a far-left progressive; no friend of conservatives. Published October 21, 2019

Lindsey Graham speaks the obvious — and the press goes nuts

Sen. Lindsey Graham said "sure," he'd support impeachment of Donald Trump -- if in fact it were shown the president had committed an impeachable offense, that is. And from that, all the anti-Trumpers in the media went: One of Trump's biggest supporters wants to impeach! This is a classic example of bias masked as news. Published October 21, 2019

NBA losing money — and well it should

The NBA's commissioner Adam Silver said that China had pressed for the firing of Rockets general manager Daryl Morey -- for the crime of publicly supporting freedom-fighting protesters in Hong Kong -- and that the league, as part of the fallout for siding with the reds over the red, white and blues, has been losing money.

Barack Obama’s hypocritical endorsement of ‘blackface’ Justin Trudeau

Barack Obama just gave his official, formal, all-the-weight-of-a-former-U.S.-president endorsement to Canada's prime minister, Justin Trudeau, who's seeking reelection. You know, the guy who just weeks ago acknowledged donning blackface and brownface as recently as 2001? Published October 17, 2019

Chicago teachers: for themselves, not the children

Teachers in Chicago, where their median pay is $75,000, have called for a strike for more money, lower health care costs and smaller class sizes -- all while leaving 300,000 district school children in limbo. This is not about "justice," or the students. This is about teachers, at the promptings of union heads, getting more for themselves. Published October 17, 2019

Democrats huff, puff, bluff and blow, but impeachment falls down

Democrats, who've done nothing but call for impeachment since 2016, who've done nothing but stage an "impeachment inquiry" that allows them to skirt normal processes of transparency while keeping the "I-word" alive and fresh in the press, have suddenly decided they don't need no stinkin' vote.

Atheist ad during Democrats’ debate mocks ‘burning in hell’

In between the first and second hour of the Democratic Party's presidential debate in Ohio was a brief commercial from the Freedom From Religion Foundation calling for watchers to remember that secularism was a founding father plan for America's government from the get-go and that those who say differently are, well -- uninformed.

Democrats swing big at CNN’s ‘impeach Trump’ softballs
