Donald Trump entering Caution Zone by taking oath for Robert Mueller
President Donald Trump sent a bit of a shockwave through the media on his way to Davos, Switzerland, when he told reporters gathered at the White House that yes, he was willing to speak with special counsel Robert Mueller, under oath, no less. This is a 50-50 scenario for the president, at best. In the hands of the media, the spin from this interview would be anti-Trump news fodder for weeks. Published January 25, 2018
San Francisco boots Columbus Day, chipping U.S. DNA further
San Francisco's Board of Supervisors just voted to rename Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples day. But why? Many in America already celebrate Native American Heritage Day, the Friday after Thanksgiving. San Francisco's board vote seems designed not so much to recognize Native Americans, as much as it is to erase Christopher Columbus from America's DNA. Published January 25, 2018
Rasmussen: Half of U.S. voters see FBI as crooked
Roughly half of Americans of all political walks -- 49 percent, to be exact -- want a special prosecutor appointed to investigate the FBI for crooked and partisan dealings in their look-sees into Hillary Clinton and President Donald Trump. Published January 24, 2018
FBI’s missing messages wouldn’t fly for Joe Q. Citizen
The FBI is saying "misconfiguration issues" tied to software updates brought about the loss of five months' worth of text messages between a pair of anti-President Donald Trumpers. Can you imagine if the average Joe Q. Citizen tried the same line of excuse with, say, the Internal Revenue Service and a request for tax records for an audit? Published January 24, 2018
Chuck Schumer stokes DACA fires with attacks on Donald Trump, tea party
Sen. Chuck Schumer took to MSNBC and told hostess Rachel Maddow that the tea party, the precursor to President Donald Trump, has always been anti-immigration. This, of course, is a blatant lie. And it does nothing to advance the supposed diplomatic approach Republicans and Democrats are committed to achieving on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Published January 24, 2018
Mike Pence, in Israel, angers Arabs — oh well
Vice President Mike Pence touched down in Israel to announce at the Knesset that yes, indeed, not only was America moving its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, but also that America was moving its embassy to Jerusalem in jig time -- before the end of 2019, in fact. Make way for the angry birds. Published January 23, 2018
Democrats’ DACA blink long overdue lesson in humility
The Democratic blink on DACA, led by none other than Sen. Chuck Schumer, was a long-time-coming lesson in humility for the left. And, it's one that's going to end up emboldening President Donald Trump further, much to Democrats' dismay. Published January 23, 2018
Robert Mueller, shut down this sham Russia-collusion investigation into Donald Trump
It's time for the Russia collusion investigation into President Donald Trump to come to a halt. It's a sham; it's a web of deceits. And the American people are just not that stupid that its continuance can be justified any longer. Published January 23, 2018
‘Impeach Trump’ parties proving the rave for radical left
Feb. 17 -- mark your calendar. That's the day all those on the far-left will emerge from their parents' basements to rub weary video-gamed-out eyes and take to the streets for some no-doubt wild "Impeach Trump" parties. Published January 22, 2018
FBI’s curious loss of 5 months’ messaging of Peter Strzok, Lisa Page
The FBI has lost about five months' worth of text messages that were exchanged between two staff members who share a common denominator: They are tied to the Russia collusion investigation of President Donald Trump -- and they're rabidly anti-Trump. Oh, and one more tie: They were having an affair. This doesn't look bad or biased at all, now does it? (Insert sarcasm here). Published January 22, 2018
Barack Obama, a desperate go-to for doomed Democrats facing Trump economy
Democrats are desperate -- dang desperate, calling out Barack Obama to hit the campaign trail. But that could well backfire on them, as it did in 2016. Published January 20, 2018
Deep State unraveling, as GOPer sees jail for DOJers, FBIers
This whole Russia collusion thing that's been pinging President Donald Trump since before he even physically took over the White House is crumbling as we speak. Published January 19, 2018
Carl Higbie resignation a golden egg for anti-Donald Trump media
Carl Higbie, the chief of external affairs for the Corporation for National and Community Service, just resigned after CNN found evidence of offensive remarks he had made in the past. Never heard of Higbie? Doesn't matter. CNN found an audio of him in June 2013 saying this: "I just don't like Muslim people. Well people are like, 'well, you can't hate somebody just for being Muslim.' It's like, yeah, I can." Suddenly, in the eyes of the media, he's been one of Donald Trump's best friends for years.

Mahmoud Abbas, man of peace, to Donald Trump: ‘May your house be destroyed’
Mahmoud Abbas, leader of the Palestinian Authority, the guy who's frequently touted by both left- and right-leaning politicos as a moderate who wants nothing but peace with Israel, went on an shocking rant against the Jewish state and the United States in recent public remarks, ultimately unleashing a curse on President Donald Trump that went like this: "May your house be destroyed." Either Abbas has gone rogue or he's showing his true anti-West colors. The smart money's on Option B. Published January 18, 2018
Democrats overplaying anti-Donald Trump ‘racist’ hand
There comes a point when calling a spade a spatula becomes a bit worn and wearying and the public starts to catch on and actually notice and say, hey, that's a spatula, not a spade. In other words: People start to doubt the message is actually true. Published January 18, 2018
Donald Trump’s ‘Fake News Awards’ red-face moment for media, riot for right
The results are in and a top winner of the 2017 "Fake News Awards" goes to -- drumroll, please -- The New York Times for a Paul Krugman story that predicted a dire outcome for the economy because of President Donald Trump's win of the White House. Published January 18, 2018
Illegal charged with cop-killing: ‘Wish I had killed more’
An illegal immigrant facing murder charges for the killing of two law enforcement officers in Northern California went off the rails during his court hearing and said, with a grin on his face, "I wish I had killed more," Fox News reported. This is what the sanctuary-loving left wants to shelter from the deportation storm? Published January 17, 2018
Justice Department, Jeff Sessions petition Supreme Court to end DACA
The Department of Justice is petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a federal judge's ruling on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a rare intervention that could finally hand the White House a win on the Barack Obama-implemented program. Good. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is right to wage a fight on this. The idea that a former president's executively issued command that wrongfully skirted Congress is now hard and fast U.S. law is a bit much to stomach. Published January 17, 2018
Jesus followers being wiped out worldwide by ‘Islamic oppression’
The Bible tells Christians to beware, that to follow Jesus paves the way for a life of challenge, mocking and persecution -- that specifically, as Matthew 10:22 states, "you will be hated by all for [His] name's sake." Well, according to a new report from Open Doors, a nonprofit that supports the spread of the faith in even the most hostile of areas, that ain't no joke. Published January 16, 2018
Puerto Rico newspaper columnist blames ‘the Jew’ for island ills
A columnist for one of Puerto Rico's largest circulation newspapers, El Nueva Dia, wrote in a recent piece that the reason the country is still struggling, post Hurricane Maria, and its citizens, living in disastrous conditions is because of Jews in America. Yes, that is what Wilda Rodriguez put forth in a piece titled, "What Does 'The Jew' Want From the Colony?" Published January 16, 2018
