Black journalists demand CNN submit to ‘civil rights audit’
CNN, land of the liberals, where diversity and tolerance supposedly reign, has been accused of keeping out blacks from its upper-media ranks -- the level that reports directly to company President Jeff Zucker -- and placed on a "special media monitoring list" by the National Association of Black Journalists.

Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton fingered by former adviser for nepotism, revenge politics

Democrats suddenly find their copies of Constitution
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler said he was concerned President Donald Trump was trying to be a dictator, and Democrats simply couldn't stand for that.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the ‘twit’ sensible Democrats will soon flee
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is emerging, for the Republicans, as the gift that keeps on giving. How so?

Rose McGowan’s bragging abortion moment
It's one thing to believe in a woman's right to choose. It's another thing entirely to crow about having an abortion, as if it were the best decision ever made, right up there with picking the proper college or volunteering free time for Habitat for Humanity or something. Published March 4, 2019
Jim Jordan on point: ‘No collusion’ — except maybe for Clintons
Rep. Jim Jordan, the top-ranking Republican on the House Oversight Committee, put out a tweet that said bluntly: "There was no collusion." And on that, he's got the pulse of most of the politically aware of the nation. Published March 4, 2019
Bernie Sanders, Democrats court 2020 black votes with 1620 messages
Sen. Bernie Sanders kicked off a presidential rally in Chicago with a rousing singing of the national anthem by a black singer, followed by rousing speeches from various notables from the black community, followed by a rousing reading of a list of young black men killed in police shootings in recent times. Overcompensate much? Published March 4, 2019
Democrats and their race and gender card antics
Democrats have this annoying habit of seeing race in places where race isn't even an issue. It's called identity politics, it's one of the left's favorite means of politicking, and it's damaging to America because it immediately stifles all sane debate. The left does it with gender, as well. Published February 26, 2019
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s latest rant nothing but deception
Another day, another Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delusional rant. This one, this time, comes in response to a Fox News discussion about the congresswoman's decision to pay a minimum of $52,000 for her office staffers. Published February 25, 2019
Melting the racial glaciers in America
Sens. Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren just made national headlines for pushing the idea America needs to provide reparations for blacks to account for slavery. What folly.

Joe diGenova’s advice to patriots: It’s a ‘civil war’ — ‘I buy guns’

Barack Obama deserves props for ‘twerking’ talk
Grudging as it may be, Obama deserves some props for speaking bluntly to black youth of America and offering them a message that should resonate with us all -- and that we should carry back to our own families, our own communities, and remember to teach to our own children. What is it? The worth of a person is not in the external. Published February 21, 2019
Eric Holder, Barack Obama merger means more chaos at the polls

The folly of focusing on ‘Socialism’ with a capital ‘S’
Raise the red flags on socialism -- warn about the rising acceptance of socialism as based on polls and surveys -- and soon, a media pundit or scholarly spokesperson will point out to a worried America that this is not a real socialism we're talking about here. Well, so what? Socialism is Big Government and that's all that matters. Published February 21, 2019
Democrats in deliciously difficult spot with ‘Green New Deal’
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is poised to get Democrats on record with the "Green New Deal" by forcing a vote. It should be interesting.

Bernie Sanders already branded a liar

China’s duplicitous call for ‘arms race’ controls on A.I.
China, according to a report from the Center for a New American Security, is warning that global controls and international agreements on artificial intelligence are needed, or else a technological "arms race" will soon enough lead to world war.
