Lessons for the U.S. from EU’s courts of P.C.

The European Court of Human Rights just ruled that a woman who was convicted in a Vienna court and fined for disparaging a religion -- Islam -- after she called out Mohammed as a pedophile did not, as she argued, have her free speech rights infringed. Americans, take note. Lessons can be learned here. Warnings should be heeded. Published October 29, 2018

Megyn Kelly, a victim of despicable, deceptive P.C. police

This is not a defense of Megyn Kelly. This is a defense of sanity. If you've not watched the six-minute or so segment that's the heart and soul of what's being used to show Kelly as a racist, stop reading, go back and watch -- because the headlines and stories and criticisms that have come like pelting hail upon her head have little to do with truth and everything to do with misinformation.

Donald Trump executive order to stop caravan? Great idea

President Donald Trump is mulling an executive order that would stop the caravan in its tracks and send the thousands and thousands of people trying to cross America's borders back to their homes. That makes perfect sense. Published October 26, 2018

Christians can indeed close borders and still be biblical

Christians, listen up: It's quite OK to advocate for tough border controls. It's quite OK to look at this caravan of thousands of people now walking from points south toward America's borders and say to them, "hey, you're not a citizen, you don't have the right to come to this country." Go ahead; God won't get angry. Published October 25, 2018

Nationalist is not an n-word

President Donald Trump, in a speech in Texas, told the adoring crowd he not only considered himself "a nationalist," but also wanted Americans to consider themselves one, too. "Use that word," he said. Indeed. Citizens most decidedly should. Published October 25, 2018

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, George Soros, CNN mailings mark trail to civil war

Federal authorities are investigating suspicious packages that were just sent to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama -- and this is news that comes the same week it was reported a suspicious package containing a suspected bomb was sent to the residence of George Soros. And so the country moves a step closer to civil war. Published October 24, 2018

Thousands of Central American migrants resumed an arduous trek toward the U.S. border Monday, with many bristling at suggestions there could be terrorists among them and saying the caravan is being used for political ends by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Caravan clash is coming — and the left can’t wait

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a televised press conference that the thousands of people walking from Central America to the United States would not be allowed to cross. No, not under any circumstances. And because he means it -- and because this long trail of unruly, unconcerned-with-law people mean to cross -- the end result, in the eyes of common sense, means a clash is coming.

Robert Mueller’s sinking Russian collusion ship

A curious report from Bloomberg and Zero Hedge that was then picked up by Rush Limbaugh puts special counsel Robert Mueller in an uncomfortable light -- one, in fact, that shifts investigative eyes his way and suggests his team may have improperly indicted a Russian company during his quest to tie President Donald Trump to collusion. Well, this is a twist in the Russian investigation the left wasn't exactly expecting, isn't it? Published October 23, 2018

Transgenderism is a political figment, not biological truth

Transgenderism may be on its last legs due to President Donald Trump's reported decision to shutter the previous administration's policy of regarding boys as girls and girls as boys and pretending as if God-assigned sexes are as changeable as attire. It's about time we get back to the truth on this issue. Published October 23, 2018

Donald Trump’s rising numbers suck wind from anti-GOP polls

President Donald Trump's favor with the people has jumped in recent days to a point that places him higher than even what media-fawned, leftist-loved Barack Obama could brag in the lead-up to the midterms. This, as polls, pollsters and pundits keep predicting doom and gloom for the Republicans this November. Published October 23, 2018

George Soros and his ‘rented evangelicals’ outed by Christian leaders

A new video from the American Association of Evangelicals reveals how George Soros, through his many funding ventures, has been busily infiltrating the Christian base in America to divide, and ultimately conquer, the religious minded within the Republican Party. Truly, with the left, political wars know no bounds. Published October 22, 2018

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the socialist likens climate change to Nazi fight

Today's fight against climate change is yesterday's fight against the Nazis -- at least, that's how socialist legislative wanna-be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez puts it. This is what the Democrats are bringing to the table for the midterms, a House candidate who ties climate change to evil murderers in a potatoes, potahtoes kind of way? Published October 22, 2018

Blue wave, schmue wave, polls are almost always wrong

Listen to the Democrats, and what's coming this November is a so-called blue wave of tidal proportions that sweeps out all those riff-raffy Republicans and ushers in a marked majority of left-leaning liberals in both House and Senate -- and it's a takeover they say is clear backlash to Donald Trump. Grain of salt, meet prognosticators. Published October 20, 2018

Polio-like paralyzing disease hits hundreds — but don’t call it polio

The United States was declared "polio-free" in 1979, a feat the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says is "thanks to [an] effective vaccine." But now it's back -- or is it? The government says no, the condition that's been inflicting hundreds with polio-like symptoms is not, in fact, polio. It's polio-like. It's polio-pretty much. But it's not polio.

DARPA turns to psychology to create machines with common sense

When it comes to building artificial intelligence with good old-fashioned common sense, elusive is thy name. Many have tried. Many have failed. DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, aims to rectify that by bridging technology with -- get this -- psychology. Published October 18, 2018

Hillary Clinton’s dwindling power

Hillary Clinton, never one for the conservatives, has now managed to isolate -- nay, tick off -- even the hardest core of her supporters. What's come from her fans in the media in the last few hours could very well signal the end of Clinton's long-standing, long-running reign in political courts. Published October 18, 2018

Donald Trump vows U.S. military to ‘CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER’

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
