Miss America swimsuit segment IS pretty stupid
Aside from men and lesbians, there really aren't going to be that many beauty pageant watchers who miss the swimsuit portion of Miss America. The whole ogle-fest is just that -- an antiquated means of determining which woman among a crowd of women has the best body. It's good Miss America's giving it the boot. Published June 6, 2018
Bulletproof backpacks for school kids — the left’s next hysterical move
Students at St. Cornelius middle school in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, were handed out "ballistic shields" to place in their backpacks as part of their graduation ceremony to high school. Bulletproof backpacks. Way to spike the hysteria, guys. Published June 6, 2018
Regulatory Memorial madness: Every 3 hours, a new rule
Congress and the federal agencies may give the impression of being a do-nothing entity, but the numbers don't lie, and what the numbers are saying is that feds pushed through 54 new and finalized rules in the last week. That's on average a new rule every three hours, according to one watchdog nonprofit. Published June 5, 2018
Hillary Clinton not off the hook just yet
As Robert Mueller continues his special counsel investigation to nowhere, at least one government watchdog group is keeping up the pressure on Hillary Clinton. Published June 5, 2018
America’s moral compass worst it’s ever been: Poll
Americans say the country as it stands today is worse off morally than in past years -- and worse off, morally speaking, to a tune that's never before seen. Can't say this is surprising. It's not rocket science, people. Published June 5, 2018
Terry McAuliffe, Clinton money man, makes ludicrous stab at morals
Terry McAuliffe, the power broker of Bill Clintondom, was out and about this past weekend telling MSNBC news watchers how immorally and horribly his old presidential pal treated Monica Lewinsky. Well, isn't that special. But McAuliffe speaking of morals is like watching O.J. pull on a too-tight leather glove. Something is painfully amiss. Published June 4, 2018
Iran’s call to fight ‘bullying’ Donald Trump a diplomatic boon for America
Iran has called on the countries of the world -- the ones that care, anyway -- to stand up to that big ol' bad bully Donald Trump and join forces to save the nuclear deal from the trash heap of U.S. history. Good. Now America can see clearly who's friend, who's enemy and who wants to play pussyfoot with a rogue, despotic nation over a principled, free America. Published June 4, 2018
Raging social media idiots of the left
It's no shocker to say the left, as a whole, needs a good mouth-washing with soap. But it's not just politicians who are affected by the left's vicious and vile vocabulary. It's anyone with conservative leanings who dares post conservative thoughts on social media. Published June 2, 2018
Samantha Bee, Keith Olbermann and a stunning shaming from CNN
CNN's Brooke Baldwin weighed in on the controversy surrounding comedian Samantha Bee's calling of Ivanka Trump a "feckless c--t" by slamming -- get this -- Bee. And then she slammed the vile Keith Olbermann. And the left, for hypocrisy. It was a stunning slap-down, in and of itself. But it was all the more eye-opening given Baldwin's affiliation with mainstream media. Published June 1, 2018
David Hogg, the anti-gun extortionist with Al Sharpton style
David Hogg, one of the students from the Parkland, Florida, shooting incident who's now gone punch-drunk on anti-gun juice. He's using a shakedown style of First Amendment-ing. It's what made Al Sharpton much of his money. Published June 1, 2018
Mitt Romney voted for his wife, not Donald Trump, for president?!
Mitt Romney, failed presidential candidate and former governor of Massachusetts, finally revealed the name of the person he selected for commander-in-chief at the ballot boxes in 2016 -- his wife. WTFreak. This is everything conservatives hate about the Republican Party and the elitism of establishment-minded politicos. Published May 31, 2018
CIA, deep in Deep State brouhaha, faces new disgrace
A former CIA officer named Kevin Mallory, 60, is now on trial for allegedly selling secrets about American "human assets" -- read: spies -- and other sensitive data to the Chinese. This is not the type of P.R. the agency needs right now. Published May 31, 2018
How atheists benefit from religious freedom
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has announced a gathering of "like-minded" political counterparts from foreign nations to discuss ways to advance religious freedoms around the globe. Atheists will no doubt scream, criticizing the openly, unapologetically Christian-believing Pompeo for daring to tie foreign policy to what they see as a figment of imaginations, God. But they shouldn't. Published May 31, 2018
George Soros, buying a district attorney near you
George Soros, the billionaire of progressive-slash-socialist and globalist causes the world over, has been busy buying his way into local district attorney campaigns in the United States. Talk about trying to turn the judicial system into an activist camp for the left. Published May 30, 2018
Donald Trump is to Roseanne Barr like Barack Obama is to Kathy Griffin
Roseanne Barr mistakenly fired off a racist tweet aimed at Valerie Jarrett and now the left is crowing, "See? See? This is what happens when you have Donald Trump in the White House." Stuff and nonsense. Trump is not to blame for Barr -- just as Barack Obama, say, can't be faulted for Kathy Griffin. Published May 30, 2018
Maryland researchers say they discovered ‘Holy Grail’ of machine learning
A team of researchers from Maryland say they've invented a general artificial intelligence way for machines to identify and process 3-D images that doesn't require humans to go through the tedium of inputting specific information that accounts for each and every instance, scenario, difference, change and category that could crop up. The "Holy Grail" of machine learning, in other words -- in their words, in fact. Published May 29, 2018
Chelsea Clinton, a perfect example of why left is Not Real American
Chelsea Clinton, daughter of the president who was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, nonetheless found the nerve to tell an overseas newspaper, The Guardian, that Donald Trump is not only less than presidential -- but he's also less than American. He's not a real American, she suggested. Published May 29, 2018
God-given, not government granted, guides Second Amendment
Patrick Ryan, a Democrat running for Congress in New York, told a CNN audience that one of his political platforms is to put into effect strict limits on the Second Amendment because the First Amendment comes with limits, so why not the second, as well? Well, sorry, Mr. Ryan. The Second Amendment, like the First, is God-given, not government granted. Published May 29, 2018
Spying, schmying, fact is — perception is reality
Former intel guy James Clapper told Joy Behar, co-host of "The View," the FBI was not spying on then-candidate Donald Trump, but rather only Russians, and that yada yada, there's nothing to see here folks, go home. But let's hold up the horses, just a bit. After all, in dictionary-speak, a spy's a spy's a spy. Published May 26, 2018
Alexa? Why are you recording me, Alexa?
A husband in Oregon recently received a strange telephone call from his boss that went like this: Unplug your Alexa. You're being hacked. Except he wasn't being hacked. His Amazon Echo device had actually recorded conversations between the man and his wife, and then sent them along to the man's boss as audio file attachments. Published May 25, 2018
