President Donald Trump, in an early morning tweet, vowed to put a stop to the flow of foreigners making their way from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador into America by using U.S. military, if necessary, to close and protect the southern borders. And with that, Trump's poll numbers, among his base, no doubt flew skyward. Published October 18, 2018
Pastor Andrew Brunson puts focus back on what matters

Minnesota Republicans attacked in streets show true colors of left
A couple of campaigning Minnesota Republicans who were attacked in public -- one at a restaurant, the other when she asked why he kicked away her political sign -- aren't incidences of violence that simply show the signs of heated political times. They go deeper than that. They show the pure evil that's driving the Democratic Party. Published October 17, 2018

Radio talk show icon Michael Savage has hit the nail on the head -- again -- and called out the antifa-type thugs who wield baseball bats in the streets as the "brownshirts" of the Democratic Party. Hey now, walk like a duck, squawk like a duck, that makes you a duck Published October 17, 2018
‘First Man,’ the moon landing movie that omitted U.S. flag, falls short on sales
"First Man," the movie that was supposed to showcase the historical greatness of the first man to walk the moon, Neil Armstrong -- but that omitted the triumphant and patriotic planting of the flag of record from the very country that made this greatness possible, America -- has suffered a bit of a red face with its opening weekend ticket sales. Sales were projected at $21 million but came in short, at $16.5 million. Published October 16, 2018
Elizabeth Warren, the Boston Red Sox’s Bill Buckner pariah of politics
Elizabeth Warren, who took the puzzling step of announcing her DNA test results showing she was less Native American than most European Americans, has now come under fire from the Cherokee Nation. And how rightly so. Warren has become to politics what Bill Buckner has been to Red Sox fans for decades -- a pariah. Published October 16, 2018
A.I. to take over world — or not: Whom to believe?
Stephen Hawking, world-renowned theoretical physicist and cosmologist, may have died in March but the warnings of his final book, published just this week, shout from beyond the grave as something like this: Watch out, humanity, artificially intelligent beings will soon rule.

Even Joy Behar of ‘The View’ thinks Hillary Clinton’s full of it
By now, everybody's heard about Hillary Clinton's denial that hubby Bill abused his presidential power by having an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, and denial that he should have stepped aside.

Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo and their shocking mocking of Tucker Carlson
CNN's Don Lemon and CNN's Chris Cuomo engaged in some mean-spirited banter about Fox's Tucker Carlson during a recent televised spot, showing in 42 short seconds just why they're the worst of the worst -- why nobody with an ounce of intellect takes the mainstream media serious any more. CNN: Painful to watch TV. Published October 15, 2018
Amazon’s sexist A.I. reveals broader weaknesses of technology
Technology's only as good as its imperfect human programmers. That's why, in the end, the best A.I. should always be a partner to humankind, not a replacement. Published October 13, 2018
#MeToo ought to emphasize common sense, not just victimhood
#MeToo's an important crusade; sexual harassment, assault, attack are all blots on humanity, particularly against the female side of humanity, and ought to prosecuted to the fullest extent of applicable laws. But it'd be nice if #MeToo weren't simply a finger-point. It'd be nice if the campaign hit hard as an educational tool, as well. Published October 12, 2018
Democrats’ double standard on racism
Don Lemon, by another name, would be vilified by the left, fired by CNN and relegated to the scrap heap of has-been celebrity-ism. But Lemon furthers the left's narrative against the right -- the one that says President Donald Trump is racist. So he's safe. Published October 12, 2018
Christine Blasey Ford’s bogus ‘bravery’ award nomination
Christine Blasey Ford has been nominated for the University of North Carolina's highly esteemed alumna award for speaking publicly about the allegations of sexual assault she hurled then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's way.

Lindsey Graham, a GOP giant who’s finally awakening
Something's happened to Sen. Lindsey Graham. He's gone full court, full steam ahead conservative, fully on the same side as President Donald Trump. And have to say, it's not only about time. It's refreshingly, cheeringly, notably high-fives-all-around time. Published October 11, 2018
Michael Bloomberg, man of all parties, no principle
This is why nobody in their right minds buys into politicians as examples of principled people. Michael Bloomberg, who's changed his political party affiliation three times, is a Democrat once again. Published October 10, 2018
Rand Paul’s right — ‘someone is going to be killed’
Sen. Rand Paul hit the nail on the head in an interview with Kentucky radio host Leland Conway when he predicted this hotly charged political atmosphere was going to move from mayhem to murder. Remember Rep. Steve Scalise? It already very nearly did. Published October 10, 2018
Nikki Haley, blunt-talking and bold, will be missed

Google’s disturbing DeepMind: Potatoes, potahtoes, A.I. could kill or could save
A few months ago, Google's DeepMind department discovered that in a gathering game over Who Can Get the Most Apples, vying artificial intelligence systems wouldn't hesitate to go aggressive and shoot to injure, stop or even kill, if need be. That's a bit of problem, given the push to integrate A.I. into nearly all aspects of humanity. Published October 9, 2018
