Democrats descend into Wonderland-like lunacy

If Democrats are Alice, and the rabbit hole represents a descent into Wonderland-like lunacy, then those on the left have certainly been picking up speed in their fall to the bottom for some time now. Watch out, Mr. Hatter. There's competition for that there madness. Published October 12, 2019

Donald Trump talks freedom, Democrats push communism

Riot police were called to the scene of President Donald Trump's rally in Minneapolis to stem the surge of violence the left unleashed against MAGA hat wearers -- and journalists -- and public and private properties. And all while in the background waved flags from communist countries. That really says all that needs to be said. Published October 11, 2019

Fox News’ ‘Impeach Trump’ poll a bit on the schizo side

A widely reported poll from Fox News puts national favor for an impeachment of President Donald Trump at 51%. But this same poll then asks participants to name their favorite among a list of people -- to express either favorable or unfavorable opinion of each -- and guess who wins in a field of nine? Trump. Schizophrenia, anyone? Published October 10, 2019

Ukraine ‘alignment’ with Hillary Clinton began in 2013: Politico flashback, 2017

A nearly insignificant reference on the U.S.-Ukraine Business Council's webpage, under the heading of Washington Watch No. 4, reads this way: "Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire -- Kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost Clinton." That's interesting. Published October 10, 2019

Joe Biden campaign, facing New York Times fire, panics

Joe Biden's campaign team has all the markings of entering panic mode. And really, why shouldn't Team Biden feel that way? It's like 2016 all over again, when heir apparent Hillary Clinton thought she had a cake walk to the White House. Biden's approach on the campaign trail has been similarly self-entitled.

STD surge shows national need for the Bible

It's not a popular message for an increasingly secular country. But it's an important one. Read the Bible. Get back to biblical principles. It's the one message that could actually and ultimately cure the country's STD problem. Published October 10, 2019

This Nov. 8, 2017 photo released by NBC shows Matt Lauer on the set of the "Today" show in New York. A woman who worked with NBC at the Sochi Olympics claims she was raped by former anchor Lauer at a hotel there, an encounter the former "Today" show host says was consensual.  The woman made her claim in Ronan Farrow's book, "Catch and Kill," a copy of which was obtained by Variety. Lauer was fired by NBC in 2017 for what it called inappropriate sexual conduct.

Matt Lauer’s rape accuser not exactly the stuff of airtight

This is a curious claim for Brooke Nevils to make; a rape by Matt Lauer that led to a longer term romance, and all. But no matter who's telling the truth, who's not, there are lessons here that can be learned. Particularly, for women. Published October 9, 2019

Demario Davis, NFL’s Saints, breath of fresh ‘Man of God’ air

In a world of drug-using, steroid-cheating, wife- and girlfriend-beating, alcohol-abusing obnoxious, entitlement-minded professional athletes comes New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis, with a talk the talk, walk the walk example of how to go bold for -- get this -- God. Gotta love this. He's a John 1:5 in action. Published October 9, 2019

PETA’s monkey love leaves humans in medical lurch

Nobody wants to kill Bambi. But then again, if it came down to a choice between the life of Bambi or the life of a loved one -- a loved human one, that is -- sorry, so sorry, sad to say, but Bambi's got to go. And most sane people would see similarly. Not People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Published October 8, 2019

Elizabeth Warren’s newest dance around the truth

Sen. Elizabeth Warren has doubled down on her claim that she was fired from her first teaching job because she was visibly pregnant. The takeaway from that sentence is the phrase "doubled down." Whenever a candidate for political office has to double down on something, it's a sign of doubt in the air. Published October 8, 2019

Donald Trump, today’s ‘Peter Pumpkinhead’ of politics

In 1992, the British band XTC released a song called "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead" that was described by singer Andy Partridge as an ode to truth -- a cynical-but-realistic look at somebody on Earth who ticked off the powers-who-be by outing their secretive, wicked deeds. Someone, circa 2019, very like President Donald Trump. Published October 8, 2019

Ilhan Omar files for divorce — but questions persist

Rep. Ilhan Omar has filed for divorce from Ahmed Hirsi, the father of her three children. And all the rest of the country goes: What's going on with this Muslim Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota, anyway? Her personal life doesn't just seem a mess. It's also, legally speaking, a curious mix of question marks and asterisks. Published October 7, 2019

Donald Trump flips tables on foes Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff

President Donald Trump, in a late Sunday evening Twitter rant, did what he does and continues to do and with just a few short characters spread over a few short tweets, utterly slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Adam Schiff. This is why Trump's "poll numbers are defying the impeachment mess," as CNBC recently wrote. Published October 7, 2019

Democrats, please don’t eat the babies

Far leftists are so bent on saving the environment, they actually see abortion and the destruction of precious human life as A-OK. So in the end, what's a little baby eating, right? Published October 5, 2019

Brennan, told the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that he had "encountered and am aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between Russian officials and U.S. persons involved in the Trump campaign." Special counsel Robert Mueller apparently found no such contacts. (Associated Press/File)

John Brennan’s not-so-subtle sows of sedition

John Brennan put out a call to arms on Twitter for anyone with information of unlawful activities that may have been conducted by President Donald Trump to come forward and report it. Nice. Kind of like calling for a whistleblower movement, right? Published October 3, 2019

Nancy Pelosi pivots to gun control

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in brief remarks, told reporters that Democrats were bound and determined to pass gun control legislation, regardless of how long it takes, regardless of what else is taking place in the political world, regardless of how many stones Second Amendment supporters throw into the way. Take this as a threat. Published October 2, 2019

Pope Francis warns of barbaric artificial intelligence

Pope Francis warned that artificial intelligence could one day, if humans aren't careful, lead to a world where the weak are suppressed and outright ruled by those with the technological mostest, leading to a barbaric society. And as left as this pope typically leans when he speaks of policy and politics, on this, he's got a point. Published October 1, 2019
