Whoopi Goldberg actually makes a good point

Whoopi Goldberg -- yes, that Whoopi Goldberg, the same Whoopi Goldberg of "The View" fame who often-um-make-that-always trots out all the far-left talking points and feigns outrage at even the existence of conservatives -- actually came out in defense of, get this, supporters of President Donald Trump. Indirectly. But it still counts. Published September 5, 2019

As many as 11 suspicious deaths have occurred at the Veterans Affairs hospital in West Virginia in recent years, including two in April of 2018 now ruled as homicides. And here we are, more than a year later, and what has the investigation got to show for itself? Published September 5, 2019

Walmart’s gone weak in the knees on guns

Walmart's CEO has decided to stop selling handguns and certain types of ammunition, and has also called on customers to please, please, please stop openly carrying their firearms. Yep.

Lori Lightfoot’s thin-skinned Chicago hysterics

Sen. Ted Cruz remarked on Twitter, "Gun control doesn't work. Look at Chicago." And that was all it took for the left-leaning mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, to go off the deep end. Liberals hate truths. But my, do they love throwing hissy fits. Published September 3, 2019

Tech giants and the web they’ve weaved

Devin Nunes, the ranking Republican on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said he's "very concerned" about the "tech oligarchs" and the influence these left-leaning social media execs will have on the upcoming election -- on the whole state and fate of free speech, of conservative speech.

James Comey’s smug skirt of spirit of law

James Comey just skated prosecution, but instead of wiping his brow, breathing a sigh of relief and saying his hail Marys a thousand times or so, took to Twitter to mock President Donald Trump -- along with anyone over the past few months who've dared challenge his Boy Scout image and question his political motivations.

Alibaba Chief Executive Jack Ma said at the World A.I. Conference in Shanghai that technology was moving along at a rapid enough clip that one day, humans could very well max their work week at 12 hours -- and moreover, they should. Easy there, Ma.

A federal court ruled that a group of atheists demanding the right to deliver the invocation at the opening of legislative sessions in the Pennsylvania House are simply out of luck, and they'll have to take their secularist so-called prayers elsewhere.
