Kamala Harris calls on Twitter to silence Donald Trump
Sen. Kamala Harris, on the campaign trail for the White House, told a CNN audience that Twitter's executives ought to boot President Donald Trump because he was using the platform to bully people and not inspire them. Nothing says U.S. president like a call for censorship of political dissent, right? Published October 1, 2019
Rule of law giving way to hyperpartisanship
Once upon a time, America was a recognized leader among the governments of the world for a colorblind system of justice that included due process, a presumption of innocence until proven guilty, and a basic common law, common sense right to face one's accuser in a court of law. We're losing those cherished rights. Published October 1, 2019
Robert De Niro’s f-bombing CNN meltdown over Donald Trump
There's hate -- and then there's Robert De Niro level of hate. On Sunday morning, on live CNN TV, on an interview with host Brian Stelter on "Reliable Sources," Hollywood's De Niro dropped a couple of f-bombs about President Donald Trump and Fox News. On a channel that even little children could regularly watch. Published September 30, 2019
‘Impeachment inquiry,’ a pre-crime for the ages
A 2002 movie called "Minority Report" featured a 2054 society where members of a specialized police force called PreCrime searched out and arrested suspects who were identified by psychics as poised to commit vicious crimes. This is how the Democrats' and Nancy Pelosi's "impeachment inquiry" into President Donald Trump rings. Published September 28, 2019
Donald Trump, enemy of the globalists
Donald Trump, like him or hate him, agree with him or disagree with him, fact is, when it comes to disrupting political norms, he's king. Trump's opened eyes onto a corrupt U.S. intel machine. Published September 27, 2019
Republican Gov. Phil Scott’s shameful anti-Trump, pro-impeachment inquiry stand
Phil Scott is the Republican governor of Vermont, and in a disgraceful show of political grandstanding, released a statement saying he supported the leftist-led impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. Shame. For shame. Published September 27, 2019
Elizabeth Warren, unabashed liar
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who's seen a bit of a boom in polls for president lately, came forward with a statement about President Donald Trump's whistleblower affair that if nothing else, serves as a classic textbook example of How Liars Lie. The unabashed ones, anyway. Published September 26, 2019
U.N. scientists find — drumroll, please — send money, the world’s dying
It's so hard to take these climate predictions with any ounce of seriousness. They keep recycling, only louder, with scarier deadlines for death, and with ever-increasing pressures to pay, pay, pay so the United Nations can save. Published September 26, 2019
‘Impeach Trump’ preceded even Donald Trump’s nomination
Democrats, along with others, have been talking about impeaching Donald Trump since before he even took office. Before he was ever the American people's elected one. And curiously enough, shockingly enough, before he was even the Republican Party's chosen one. Published September 26, 2019
Barack Obama, the real king of the quid pro quo
Funny how after eight years of Barack Obama quid pro quo-ing here, there and everywhere, it's only now Democrats care. It's only with President Donald Trump that they suddenly see corruption in politics, even when no corruption in politics exists. Published September 25, 2019
Democrats, on impeachment, put cart before horse
If Democrats truly believed they had a chance to impeach President Donald Trump, they wouldn't launch an impeachment inquiry -- they'd call for a vote. Right? But guess what. They did that back in July. And it failed. Published September 25, 2019
Donald Trump at U.N. calls coyotes ‘vicious’ — Impeach!
President Donald Trump, in a speech before the United Nations, called out those who smuggle illegals into America -- coyotes, as they're colloquially known -- as "vicious" individuals, bent on taking advantage both financially and sexually of the poor and downtrodden. And now he must be impeached. Published September 24, 2019
Greta Thunberg, a parent’s nightmare
Greta Thunberg, bless her heart, must be a real saint to live with -- and yes, that's the Southern meaning of "bless her heart." Published September 24, 2019
Bernie Sanders has the teachers in his wallet
If teachers are funding Sen. Bernie Sanders, and professors at higher places of learning are donating to socialists, then you can be sure the students they teach aren't learning anything positive about America -- or negative about socialism. Published September 24, 2019
Bill Weld moves impeachment bar — to ‘death’
Bill Weld, the former governor of Massachusetts who's making a run against President Donald Trump for the Republican ticket to the White House, managed to move the old impeachment call a bit further down the delusion scale by reminding MSNBC audiences that the punishment for treason is "death." Go big or go home, right? Published September 23, 2019
Donald Trump’s got his U.N. priorities straight
President Donald Trump has decided that instead of sitting through yet another -- yawn -- climate change meeting at the United Nations, he's going to discuss something that really matters, that's truly important, that's actually crucial to the world at-large: religious freedom. You go Trump. This is what matters. Published September 23, 2019
Big Business helps keep America free
Sens. Elizabeth Warren and others on the left have made entire political careers out of denouncing Big Business. But America should go slow on ye olde "Hate Business" path. Not only do companies bail out plenty in need. But they also help keep America free by taking on costly responsibilities that would otherwise fall to Big Government. Published September 21, 2019
U.N. staff call on U.N. to practice what it climate preaches
More than 2,000 employees of the United Nations have called on their own U.N. bosses to practice what they preach when it comes to the environment and reduce their own carbon footprints. Gasp. Might that mean the global elite would have to give up their cushy-albeit-carbon-heavy private jet travels? Indeed. Published September 20, 2019
Michael Savage’s ‘hot dog summit’ with Donald Trump
Move over, beer summit. This president, Donald Trump, doesn't drink. What he does do is eat hot dogs -- and aboard Air Force One, he shared one with none other than talk radio icon Michael Savage. As far as memories go, that's a pretty cool one. Published September 20, 2019
Dick Durbin to fellow Democrats: Enough impeachment already
Sen. Dick Durbin, speaking about the impeach, impeach, impeach mentality of his fellow Democrats, said it's high time his fellow Democrats stepped away from the impeach, impeach, impeach mentality. Finally. A Democrat who can see the 2020 writing on the wall. Published September 17, 2019
