Professors propose ‘privileged identity’ training for traveling whites

A couple of Canadian professors say white students shouldn't travel abroad without first receiving training on their "privileged identity."

Pope Francis has once again trotted into political territory, calling on the masses to not just feed and clothe but also open border doors and shelter strangers from lands far and away. His words? European nations, all the developed nations, need to welcome more migrants. Well, isn't that special. Now what about Vatican City? Published September 28, 2017

NFL ratings fall as fans make clear: Quit the politics

So NFL players have a right to kneel during the national anthem -- true. But NFL fans have a right to buy or not buy tickets, and watch or not watch games. And it's the latter that's speaking loudly now. Soon enough, fans -- not spoiled players -- will win this political brouhaha. Published September 27, 2017

NFL politics, a test for the media — and a solution

If NFL players have a right to on-field free expressions of speech, then that means pro-life players can take a knee during the playing of the national anthem to show solidarity with all the babies who could have been, save for America's legal rubber-stamp of abortion. Published September 26, 2017

"Somebody's Gotta Do It" host Mike Rowe said, "I think there's something in there with gun control and the whole conversation around guns." (Associated Press/File)

Donald Trump: Deliciously impolite

Politeness is so overrated. President Donald Trump's naysayers have come out in full force in recent days to blast his tough-talk speech to the United Nations as bombastic, and his Twitter firings at North Korea's Kim Jong Un as dangerous. But the truth is: Keeping the world powers on its collective toes is good for America. Published September 23, 2017

Jimmy Kimmel, elitist pro-Obamacare mouth, is at it again

Jimmy Kimmel, the Hollywood comedian who turned into a pro-Obamacare mouthpiece a few months ago by speaking emotionally of his son's medical condition, is at it again -- this time, snarking it up on the televised stage how stupid Republicans are, how stupid the Obamacare repeal effort is and how very, very "phony" is the "little creep" from Fox News, Brian Kilmeade.
