DACA, DACA, yes Trump, you hafta
President Donald Trump, the guy who promised to drain the swamp, is instead sinking fast into its muddy waters, one wrong DACA move away from drowning. Published September 15, 2017
Ben Shapiro, 1 — but First Amendment falling fast
Ben Shapiro just scored what today is becoming a major win -- a podium at a major university where police only had to make four protest arrests. Yes, that's sarcasm. It's also a sad commentary on the state of the First Amendment. Published September 15, 2017
Sheriff David Clarke, how right you are: Berkeley thugs need a whoopin’
Talk about hitting the nail on the head. Sheriff David Clarke, speaking Thursday on "Fox & Friends," told his three hosts that Berkeley protesters already gearing to sideline conservative speaker Ben Shapiro need their butts kicked. Published September 14, 2017
XXXTentacion’s race-baiting rap shows white boy being lynched
A black rapper, XXXTentacion, just released a new music video that features an image of a white boy being lynched as a black boy stands and watches. So far, so mum, as far as the left goes. Where's the denouncement of racism now, Democrats? Published September 14, 2017
Antifa: Yes, the violence is necessary
Antifa thugs say their violence is necessary because their goals are aimed at fighting "Nazi" ideologies, and the ends therefore justify the means. The ends justify the means -- such a powerful persuader. Published September 14, 2017
Donald Trump, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer DACA deal no cause for alarm — yet
President Donald Trump reportedly has struck a DACA deal with Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi. And already, the left is crowing, the right is gasping, and the media is spinning madly. But let's lower the eyebrows for a moment and take a breath. This is hardly cause for conservative alarm. Published September 14, 2017
Thomas Jefferson under attack: Next up — the Declaration of Independence
Black Lives Matter protesters gathered 'round the Thomas Jefferson statue that stands in front of the rotunda at the University of Virginia and shrouded the Founding Father's face, demanding "justice" as they draped a sign that read, "Black Lives Matter -- F--k White Supremacy" over the monument base. Mark my words: First Robert E. Lee. Then Jefferson. Next up will be the Declaration of Independence and America's founding and governing documents. Published September 14, 2017
Facebook’s new anti-hate monetizing rules an eyebrow raiser
Facebook, in just-released guidelines, announced it would no longer allow videos deemed hateful in content to become monetized. Only problem is: What defines hate? Published September 13, 2017
Satanists and Planned Parenthood — a match made in hell
Missouri has seen a resurgence of abortion clinics of late, thanks in large part to concerted pressures from Planned Parenthood, which sued -- successfully -- to overturn state laws requiring medical providers performing the procedure to be possessed of hospital admission privileges. And, thanks to the Satanic Temple. Published September 13, 2017
Psychiatrists-slash-witch doctors pen anti-Trump book
Real psychiatrists are probably squirming in their office chairs at this -- but 27 of their professional colleagues have come together to write a book about President Donald Trump. Surprise, surprise, they find: Trump's an "antisocial" idiot with "malignant narcissism," and he's going down -- big time. And this is such a surprise because Trump, as these quack analysts acknowledge, isn't even their patient. Published September 13, 2017
Paul Ryan tips RINO: Nobody really wants a wall
Speaker Paul Ryan reportedly said during a private dinner earlier this year that nobody but nobody in Congress wanted a border wall -- well, nobody except "one member," Breitbart reported, citing a one-on-one with the former congressman, Tom Tancredo. And with that, the establishment raises its head once more. Published September 13, 2017
Egyptian TV anchor mocks 9/11 ‘American wailers’
A video from the Middle East Media Research Institute shows an Egyptian television news anchor, on the eve of September 11, bluntly mocking Americans. Published September 12, 2017
Senate, led by frightened GOP, passes worthless anti-KKK resolution
Senators on Capitol Hill passed this week with both speed and unanimous voice a resolution that condemns white supremacist groups and that suggests President Donald Trump ought to do the same. This strikes as a frightened, "Hail, Mary" move to save their own political seats. Published September 12, 2017
Pizza Hut manager, drunk on power, tells Irma workers: ‘You cannot evacuate’
A Florida Pizza Hut manager, apparently drunk on the power of his pie-making position, threatened his employees with a chilling notice that stated those who evacuated would be punished. Talk about a guy who needs to get a life. Published September 12, 2017
Christians outpace FEMA in aid to hurricane victims
Faith-based groups -- Christian nonprofits, specifically -- have been busy bees of late, providing more aid to hurricane victims than even FEMA, the federal agency that's supposed to swoop to the scenes of natural disasters, assess the situation and speed the recovery and rebuilding process. Just goes to show: Where charity exists, government is not needed. Published September 12, 2017
Stifling free speech, one Pamela Geller-Robert Spencer-Michael Savage at a time
Conservatives of the country, take note: Voices are being squelched. Viewpoints are being stifled. Free thinking is being vilified. The First Amendment is being choked. And it's all being brought about by a leftist's favorite tool -- controlling in the name of protecting. Published September 12, 2017
Steve Bannon-CBS takeaway: Swamp creatures are winning
Steve Bannon, in an interview with Charlie Rose on "60 Minutes" on CBS, said elites in the Republican Party have been steadily working to "nullify" the results of the 2016 election, and cast President Donald Trump to the side. It doesn't get any clearer -- or more honest -- than that. Published September 11, 2017
‘Trump betrays everyone’: Republican strategist goes hypocritical
Republicans aren't reacting so well to President Donald Trump's step across the political aisle to Democrats -- something that came about, if truth be told, only after the GOP failed time and again to work with the White House on long-promised agendas, like Obamacare. Published September 11, 2017
Upset about Trump’s Harvey debt-ceiling deal? Republicans, you brought this on yourselves
Republicans on Capitol Hill are said to be reeling from President Donald Trump's reach-out to Democrats on fiscal matters. But they have nobody to blame but themselves. Published September 9, 2017
Maxine Waters, unfiltered: Alt-right wants ‘to kill me and others’
Rep. Maxine Waters, the California Democrat known best, perhaps, for her repetitive calls for impeachment of President Donald Trump, has found a new schtick, and it goes like this: The alt-right is coming to kill me. Published September 8, 2017
