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

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. And 'lest you laugh -- Hawking was regarded by many as the smartest guy in the world. Published October 16, 2018

Comedian Joy Behar told her audience on ABC's "The View" that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton resorts to "whataboutism" when asked about the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Oct. 15, 2018. (Image: ABC, "The View" screenshot)

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. Shockingly, even Joy Behar of "The View," thinks Hillary's gone out on a lonely limb to defend her husband with this. Published October 15, 2018

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.

#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

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

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.
