Perris, Calif., shackling of kids case of pure evil

A Perris, California, couple who have been accused of shackling their 13 children to their beds and imprisoning them in filthy, dark, disgusting conditions were -- according to the grandmom -- good Christians who were simply living out their faith by having so many kids. Nope. God had nothing to do with this evil. In fact, this couple gives God a bad name. Published January 16, 2018

Fearful Democrats preemptively strike State of the Union

Democrats must be shaking in their Birkenstocks. How else to explain their many, many and many more preemptive strikes at President Donald Trump's State of the Union speech -- a speech that doesn't even take place until Jan. 30? Published January 16, 2018

Democrat Tulsi Gabbard says U.S. to blame for North Korea nukes

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a Hawaii Democrat, took to "This Week" on ABC to say that it's America's fault North Korea has nuclear designs. This is typical Democrat logic -- defending chaos and evil at all costs and pointing fingers at any source that detracts from leftist, progressive culpability. Published January 15, 2018

Blacks can be racist, too

Charles M. Blow, a black New York Times columnist, just wrote a piece for his newspaper that's bluntly titled, "Trump Is a Racist. Period." He arrives at that conclusion by simply saying it -- as if saying something conclusively makes it so. Published January 15, 2018

Jeff Flake angling for White House run on anti-Trump wings

Jeff Flake, who's retiring from the Senate at the end of his term, is obviously positioning himself to be the Republican challenger to President Donald Trump in 2020. His platform? Like the Democrats, it's simply this: I detest Trump. Published January 15, 2018

Borders aren’t racist, and some countries are sh—holes

Some countries truly are sh--holes -- and that's why the citizens who live there want to come to America so badly. But America's government has a responsibility to secure the future of its own citizens first -- and sorry, so sorry, anti-Trumpers of the world: That's. Not. Racism. Published January 13, 2018

Donald Trump haters have their next distraction

Democrats this morning are on a mass tantrum, taking to the media to outdo themselves with the best shock and awe impression they can muster over President Donald Trump's "sh--hole" comment -- the same comment Trump now denies, via Twitter, saying. Thing is: Democrats really don't care what Trump said. They only care about how they can use what they said to attack him politically. Published January 12, 2018

Luis Gutierrez, go home

Rep. Luis Gutierrez took to national television to call out President Donald Trump as a neo-Nazi and KKK leader. Gutierrez should go home. And not to the cushy, cozy home of his fellow anti-American elites in Illinois, but rather to Puerto Rico, his home of descent, the home he oh-so-proudly hails from while making political points against conservatives -- the home he mentally channels while dinging the president as a racist and a bigot and an enemy of the poor.

In this Jan. 9, 2018, file photo, President Donald Trump listens during a meeting with lawmakers on immigration policy in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington.

Donald Trump’s ‘sh—hole’ remark reason he was elected

President Donald Trump reportedly suggested the United States shouldn't take in immigrants from Haiti or other "s---hole countries" because they do little to bolster an America First agenda -- and now the world is on fire, tittering about racism and vulgarities and the foul-mouthed impoliteness of this White House commander-in-chief. But really folks, this is why Trump was elected in the first place. Published January 12, 2018

7-Eleven siege, as ICE raids for illegals

There's this 7-Eleven in Northern Virginia where scores of illegals hang, waiting for day work that may or may not come -- staring at and intimidating women who cross the parking lot. But now, thanks to federal immigration officers and the get-tough-on-borders approach of President Donald Trump, there are 98 fewer 7-Elevens across the nation this morning that are facing this same issue.

PolitiFact dings ‘Fire and Fury’ for poor sourcing, emotion-driven narratives

PolitiFact, a web-based watchdog of sorts for political reporting -- and hardly an entity that can be called a cover for the conservative movement -- issued a scathing assessment of Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" that no doubt will go far in solidifying the administration's line that the book is nothing but claptrap and lies, through and through.

Robert De Niro, mentally unstable, unleashes on Donald Trump

Robert De Niro, 74, slammed President Donald Trump in a recent interview as a "blatant racist," and "jerk-off-in-chief" and other things, yada, yada, yada -- proving, once again, why it's those on the left, not this commander-in-chief, who need psychiatric assistance. Published January 10, 2018

Steve Bannon, Breitbart part — and hounds, vultures go in for kill

So Steve Bannon's out at Breitbart, the somewhat natural next chapter in the "Fire and Fury" saga that brought -- well, fire and fury from the White House for his book-noted criticisms against President Donald Trump and family. But do the vultures have to circle so quickly? Published January 10, 2018

DACA stays, as judge hands Barack Obama feather for his cap

A federal judge in California ruled that President Donald Trump's move to end the Barack Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program was misguided and therefore must remain in place. And Obama, whose pet DACA program has been a thorn in the side of control border types for years, just won another feather for his cap. Published January 10, 2018

Pope Francis admits: Not all migrants good, not all border limits bad

Pope Francis made a somewhat eyebrow-raising remark the other day -- eyebrow-raising because it's such a 180 from his normal progressive talk -- and it's one that went like this: Not all migrants are in the migrant move for the job opportunities. They're not all honorable in intent. Some, he said, may have less than praiseworthy intentions. Published January 9, 2018

Cliven Bundy case highlights what Ronald Reagan warned

It was Ronald Reagan who famously warned of the dangers of government -- who said "the most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' " Now, more than three decades later, it's the Cliven Bundy family who underscores that sentiment. Published January 9, 2018

Oprah Winfrey speech powerful, but not presidential

Oprah Winfrey gave a good speech at the Golden Globes -- a rousing, pertinent, timely and even touching speech. But that's not the same as saying it was presidential. And it's certainly not the same as accepting Winfrey herself would made a good presidential candidate. Published January 8, 2018
