Obnoxious, ignorant teens now demand curbs on guns
Teens across the nation, fed up with school shootings, are planning marches, media events and three-minute demonstrations at the White House in order to get across their messages of frustration with the Second Amendment and to demand lawmakers take immediate action. Now if only they weren't so dang entitled, snarky and obnoxious. Published February 19, 2018
Barack Obama’s border mess, mayhem, madness rage on
What a fine mess this country is in right now regarding border control. And with a Republican-dominated government, no less. Published February 17, 2018
Utah: U.S. flag shredded; ISIS flag raised
Somebody in Utah just ripped down an American flag flying at Hurricane High School, shredded it and tossed it into the streets, then raised what appeared to be a banner used by ISIS on the pole in its place. This is how the culture views our country? This is how society rates America? Published February 16, 2018
Cancer findings a bit of a joke
A new study of 100,000-plus French adults has found that those who eat a lot of processed foods and drink a good deal of sugary drinks are more likely to develop a variety of cancers than those who, say, eat healthy food. What? You don't say. Published February 16, 2018
Playing God? AI murky on what’s truly ‘conscious,’ what’s not
A funny thing happened at a press conference with a group of internationally renowned scientists who were asked about the potential for artificial intelligence to become their world's equivalent of playing God. They couldn't define "conscious." Published February 15, 2018
Nikolas Cruz arrested: Can teachers carry guns now?
Nikolas Cruz, a 19-year-old former student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida -- a former student who was expelled for disciplinary reasons -- was arrested for the shooting deaths of 17 students. Can teachers, staffers and administrators concealed-carry on school grounds now? How 'bout now? Published February 15, 2018
Opioid regulation not the way to fight ODs, cure addiction
The country's gone head-over-heels nuts on opioids, the drug of effectiveness for long-time pain sufferers. As if cracking down on producers, distributors, insurers and sellers will cure the underlying roots of addiction -- the psychological and emotional factors that lead to a practice of self-destruction.

Omarosa Manigault-Newman accused of proposing sex for money with Piers Morgan
Omarosa Manigault-Newman, the woman who just made national headlines for her abrupt departure from the White House -- and then again, for her 180-degree flip in support for her once-upon-a-time fawning for President Donald Trump -- has made the news once again, this time, for a seedier, sexual matter. Gotta say: Not surprised. Jesus to the rescue, right? Published February 14, 2018
Berkeley resists Donald Trump and declares self pot smokers’ safe haven
Berkeley, home of the leftist amnesty lover, has found a new way to become a thorn in the side of this White House -- by declaring itself a sanctuary city for marijuana smokers. Congrats, Berkeley. You've found a new way to show your immature resistance to law and order. What, immigration wasn't enough for you? Published February 14, 2018
Why Baltimore detectives’ racketeering convictions are not ‘shocking’
Two Baltimore detectives serving as part of the Gun Trace Task Force were just convicted on robbery and racketeering charges. Shocking? The Washington Post thinks so, blaring a headline that outright characterized the trial and charges just that way. But it's not. Published February 13, 2018
#VanessaTrump peppered with leftist hate — but love conquers
They say love overcomes all -- but at #VanessaTrump, the Twitter hashtag that started in response to Vanessa Trump's receipt of an envelope of white powder, the adage is really being put to the test. Look at this lovely post, from Amanda Butler, @sweethunni1976: "It was cornstarch for the love of god. Probably sent it to themselves to deflect from all the real bs going on in Washington. #VanessaTrump." Nice. Published February 13, 2018
Michelle Obama finally ‘grateful’
Former first lady Michelle Obama is finally humbled, honored and -- get this -- grateful. It only took an unveiling of her official portrait at the National Portrait Gallery to bring her to that state. Published February 13, 2018
Barack Obama’s portrait — a real ‘what is that!’ moment
Barack Obama's official portrait unveiling just went forth at the National Portrait Gallery -- and boy, was it a WTFreak moment. Was that a giant fern in front of which Obama was seated? It reminded of his interview with Zach Galifianakis of "Funny or Die" fame and the "Between Two Ferns" chat. Published February 12, 2018
Media go ga-ga on North Korea in gag-me Olympic lovefest
It's not entirely unusual for the mainstream media to be slammed as little more than a mouthpiece for the left. But loving on the dictatorships? That's exactly what some seem to be doing, with all the heaping of praise that's been piled on Kim Jong-un's sister, who's attending the Olympics -- or, as The New York Times would put it, in this glaring headline: "Kim Jong-Un's Sister Turns On the Charm, Taking [Mike] Pence's Spotlight." Published February 12, 2018
Ruth Bader Ginsburg: 2016 campaign too ‘macho’ for Hillary Clinton to win
Hillary Clinton has spent most of her days, post-election, pining about her loss and blaming it on the deplorables who followed President Donald Trump -- the co-called sexist, misogynist atmosphere she perceives as marking her race to the White House. Well now, here comes Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, tossing the same gender card. And not for the first time, either. Published February 12, 2018
Macy’s selling hijabs — and all the crazy feminists go yay
Macy's recently launched a clothing line for Muslim women, including a collection of hijabs, the scarf-like head coverings used as a show of modesty around men. But why are feminists happy about this? Published February 10, 2018
Omarosa Manigault-Newman on voting for Donald Trump again: ‘God no, never’
Omarosa Manigault-Newman, who used to be one of President Donald Trump's biggest fans, apparently now can't stand the sight of him. What's changed? Well, she was pressured-into-leaving-slash-quit her cushy White House aide job, for one. Published February 9, 2018
Welfare for refugees — my, how the U.S. taxpayer does pay
Taxpayers in the United States are shelling out a reported $867 million each year to support refugees who've been resettled in this country. In the overall federal budgeting scheme, that's maybe small potatoes. But at the same time, if we're talking welfare -- and we are -- then it would seem the more American thing to pay for those already in-country, already legal citizens, before paying for those who are simply visitors.

Quincy Jones brags of dating ‘motherf——-‘ Ivanka Trump
Quincy Jones, a legend in the music industry, has just called Ivanka Trump a "motherf-----." What else to say -- except maybe, where are all the screaming feminists and pink-hatted anti-President Donald Trump protesters now? Published February 8, 2018
