Big Pharma and D.C., joined at the lobbying hip
Ask people which special interest drops the most lobby money into D.C. and most would guess attorneys or environmentalists, or perhaps even unions. But it's none of the above. It's actually Big Pharma. And that explains a lot -- namely, why America has become a nation of pill poppers. Published October 29, 2019
Halloween’s too political, not as fun
Halloween used to be all about the free candy -- and staying out late, with flashlights -- and wearing cool stuff that could scare the neighborhood kids and disgust the neighborhood parents. Now? It's too political. It's too controversial. All the fun's being killed by the politically correct pinheads. Published October 29, 2019
Millennials: 7-in-10 say socialism, not capitalism
Seventy percent of polled millennials say they'd vote for a socialist politician, YouGov/Victims of Communism reported. And 50 percent see capitalism in a negative light. Yay, American public schools. What a testament to failure you've become. Published October 28, 2019
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the left’s beloved ‘religious scholar’
And in what will go down in American history as the most ridiculously ridiculous news headline, The Washington Post reported the death of ISIS terror leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as the end of an "austere religious scholar." Published October 28, 2019
America’s public servants need to be served up some humble pie
There are far too many politicians and public servants who have been forgetting their proper station in American life in recent times. And this is becoming one of the biggest headaches for those who value freedom, in the way the framers intended freedom to be in this country. Published October 26, 2019
Nadler, Schiff have no standing to whine of ‘political revenge’
Reps. Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff -- two of the leading voices behind Russia collusion, Russia obstruction of justice, Ukraine quid pro quo, impeach, impeach, impeach! -- have turned coattails away from the Games of Politics they oh-so-normally love to play to tweet disparagingly about, get this, the DOJ taking "political revenge." How delicious. Published October 25, 2019
Charles Barkley: It’s you, not Mike Pence, who should ‘shut the hell up’
Former NBA player Charles Barkley unleashed some harsh words against Mike Pence, telling the vice president during a pregame conversation on TNT that he ought to "shut the hell up" and let the China money roll. It's never a good look when an American citizen sides with a communist country over America's government. Published October 25, 2019
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lays First Amendment snare for Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg went to Capitol Hill to answer questions from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, about free speech -- and it went pretty much as could be expected. Explaining the concept of freedom of speech to a socialist is about as fruitful as commanding a brick wall to move. But for America, this is a good teaching moment. Published October 24, 2019
James Younger, 7, the next victim of LGBTQ insanity
James Younger is a little 7-year-old boy whose mother, Anne Georgulas, believed he wanted to be a girl -- mostly because he liked the Disney princess movie, "Frozen." But James' father, Jeffrey Younger, thought otherwise. So off to court the divorced couple went. And unbelievably, jurors found in favor of the mom. Published October 24, 2019
Republicans bare their teeth
Republicans, upset by Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff's secret hearings on impeachment, stormed a closed-door session of Schiff's secret hearings on impeachment -- effectively putting a halt to Schiff's secret hearings on impeachment. Go, GOP. Title this: the day the GOP Bared Its Teeth. Published October 23, 2019
Lynching, smynching: Who cares
So Trump called the leftist-fueled attempt to impeach him a lynching. And now the political world's on fire, seeing images of trees and dangling ropes and hanging blacks and so forth and so on, and drawing conclusions of this president's inherent racism and hatred toward blacks. Oh, please. It's called figurative language, folks. Published October 23, 2019
Boston mulls banning b-word after woman cries of hurt feelings
A Democrat serving Boston has successfully pushed forward for vote a bill aimed at banning use of the b-word -- rhymes with ditch, hitch and, Happy Halloween to the kiddies, witch. Well now, at the risk of leading the city of the original freedom fighting tea partier down another path of censorship -- holy sh--. (Rhymes with twit.) Published October 22, 2019
CAIR spins bogus anti-Trump web, as Nigerian boys suffer Islamic abuse
A few weeks ago, authorities in Nigeria uncovered hundreds of cases of horrendous abuse of boys at so-called Islamic reform schools, "Almajiris" -- abuse so wicked it was described by one local law enforcement official as tantamount to "modern slavery. But don't expect CAIR National to do much about it. Published October 22, 2019
Mitt Romney’s pathetic ‘Pierre Delecto’ shame
Mitt Romney, once upon a time -- once upon a Massachusetts time when his barely Republican credential stood apart from the multitude of liberals as something of a fresh difference -- used to have a political career. Now he's the butt of jokes. And honestly, this is something he's brought upon himself. Published October 22, 2019
Adam Schiff, old ‘shifty’ eyes, facing GOP censure fire
House GOPers are forcing a vote on Rep. Adam Schiff's censure. What good will that do? Likely: Little. The House is Democratic-controlled and honestly, censuring someone as "shifty" as Schiff, as Rep. Jody Hice calls him, would have about as much effect on controlling his anti-Donald Trump behavior as pelting him with marshmallows. Published October 21, 2019
Tulsi Gabbard may be anti-Hillary Clinton, but she’s still far-left fringe
Democratic candidate for president Tulsi Gabbard, in a widely watched Twitter-posted YouTube video, condemned the "rich, powerful" gang of elites who surround Hillary Clinton and demand Democrats either "toe the line" or stay silent. That's good. But let's remember: Gabbard is a far-left progressive; no friend of conservatives. Published October 21, 2019
Lindsey Graham speaks the obvious — and the press goes nuts
Sen. Lindsey Graham said "sure," he'd support impeachment of Donald Trump -- if in fact it were shown the president had committed an impeachable offense, that is. And from that, all the anti-Trumpers in the media went: One of Trump's biggest supporters wants to impeach! This is a classic example of bias masked as news. Published October 21, 2019
Dear Democrats, time to make like an REO Speedwagon and ‘fly’
When are the low-pollers going to exit, stage right -- while they still have even a smidgen of self-respect left? Published October 19, 2019
NBA losing money — and well it should
The NBA's commissioner Adam Silver said that China had pressed for the firing of Rockets general manager Daryl Morey -- for the crime of publicly supporting freedom-fighting protesters in Hong Kong -- and that the league, as part of the fallout for siding with the reds over the red, white and blues, has been losing money.

Barack Obama’s hypocritical endorsement of ‘blackface’ Justin Trudeau
Barack Obama just gave his official, formal, all-the-weight-of-a-former-U.S.-president endorsement to Canada's prime minister, Justin Trudeau, who's seeking reelection. You know, the guy who just weeks ago acknowledged donning blackface and brownface as recently as 2001? Published October 17, 2019
