Marianne Williamson’s hot mic a-ha moment
Democratic presidential contender Marianne Williamson let slip during a hot mic moment in her interview on "America This Week" with host Eric Bolling that conservatives -- and gasp, even Fox News conservatives -- were nicer to her than the leftists and liberals in her own political camp. This is such a significant a-ha moment. Published September 12, 2019
Declaring war would keep us in peace
If America declared war, America would never be at war. Well, maybe not never. But hardly ever. If Congress didn't cede its constitutional authority to declare war to the president, and to the president's influencing powers, we'd at least have clarity on the conflicts we currently face, and know when to get in, when to get out.

Jennifer Aniston’s InStyle ‘blackface’ brouhaha
Hollywood girl-next-door favorite Jennifer Aniston, billed on this month's cover of InStyle as "Babe Eternal," has ignited a social media firestorm over her retouched magazine photographed face among those who think she looks too black for her little white good. Honestly, this is one brouhaha that doesn't need to be. Published September 11, 2019
Pete Buttigieg’s twisted Bible teaching on abortion
Mayor Pete Buttigieg ought to crack open the Bible, turn to Psalm 139, and read how God formed humans "fearfully and wonderfully" -- and after, take a second look at his views on abortion and repent, said his brother-in-law, Rhyan Glezman, an evangelical pastor from Michigan, on Fox News. Good advice. Published September 11, 2019
New York Times glorifies kiddie drag queens
The New York Times just published a story that was headlined, "Sashaying Their Way Through Youth" and billed for readers to "[m]eet the rising drag stars of America. They're tweens." On a Richter Scale of Horrors, with one being a slight gasp and 10, a blood-curdling scream, this piece hits at an 11. Published September 10, 2019
Rashida Tlaib’s ‘political revolution’ is treason masked as justice
Rep. Rashida Tlaib called for a complete transformation of America's government -- a "political revolution" and "economic" overhaul to change the capitalistic system and, as she framed it, to put the people, not the corporations, back in power. This is treasonous. It's treason wrapped in a social justice ribbon. Published September 10, 2019
Free speech in a mentally deranged age
The thing about trampling individual rights is knowing when to stop -- knowing when to put on the brakes before the trampled, swept by surges of self-empowerment or insanity or a combination of the two, turn around and start trampling the trampers. Sen. Kamala Harris just got caught up in this very conundrum. Published September 10, 2019
Google, Facebook investigations bound to lead nowhere
Free-market purists may not like it, but when it comes to reeling in Google and Facebook and putting them in their conservative censoring places, recently announced antitrust investigations may prove the hook. Then again, maybe not. It's not like we've not been down this investigative road before. Published September 9, 2019
Democrats seize on LOST-like ‘Blue New Deal’ to control oceans
If you thought the Green New Deal was bad enough, wait. Democrats, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have now turned lustful eyes toward the oceans, hoping to create the same type government regulations over water with a "Blue New Deal" that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's now-famous Green New Deal imposed over land. Published September 9, 2019
Corporations upsetting the Constitution

Cannibalism: Scientist says eating humans could save earth
A behavioral scientist from Sweden named Magnus Soderlund argued in a recent presentation that the way to combat climate change, save the planet and secure the earth for scores of upcoming generations is to -- get this -- eat people. This guy's whacked. Published September 6, 2019
Sharpie-gate is the new Russia
Well move over Russia collusion, Russia obstruction of justice, Russia conspiracy. And move over race card, gender card and all that President Donald Trump hates the immigrants type of messaging. There's a new scandal that's seized Washington, D.C. It's called -- Sharpie-gate. Published September 6, 2019
Jemele Hill pens racist call for blacks to leave white colleges
Jemele Hill, the ex-ESPN star who famously slammed President Trump as a "white supremacist" on Twitter, has a piece coming out in October in her new place of employment, The Atlantic -- and if hating on Caucasians is your thing, it won't disappoint. The title? This: "It's Time for Black Athletes to Leave White Colleges." Published September 5, 2019
Whoopi Goldberg actually makes a good point
Whoopi Goldberg -- yes, that Whoopi Goldberg, the same Whoopi Goldberg of "The View" fame who often-um-make-that-always trots out all the far-left talking points and feigns outrage at even the existence of conservatives -- actually came out in defense of, get this, supporters of President Donald Trump. Indirectly. But it still counts. Published September 5, 2019
San Francisco’s brain dead deem NRA ‘terrorist organization’
San Francisco's brain dead city government has decided, in all its members' brain dead glory, to formally label the National Rifle Association a "domestic terrorist organization." Stupid is as stupid does. Published September 5, 2019
Our veterans deserve better
As many as 11 suspicious deaths have occurred at the Veterans Affairs hospital in West Virginia in recent years, including two in April of 2018 now ruled as homicides. And here we are, more than a year later, and what has the investigation got to show for itself? Published September 5, 2019
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s baffling tweet to Dan Crenshaw
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fired off a flippant tweet Rep. Dan Crenshaw's way, telling the Texas congressman he ought not lend his guns to his friends because they're "likely" to have "abused their spouse or have a violent criminal record," she wrote. What? Published September 4, 2019
Walmart’s gone weak in the knees on guns
Walmart's CEO has decided to stop selling handguns and certain types of ammunition, and has also called on customers to please, please, please stop openly carrying their firearms. Yep. Walmart's gone weak-kneed. As if stopping legal gun buyers and legal firearms' carriers would stop gun-related crimes in its tracks. Published September 4, 2019
Lori Lightfoot’s thin-skinned Chicago hysterics
Sen. Ted Cruz remarked on Twitter, "Gun control doesn't work. Look at Chicago." And that was all it took for the left-leaning mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, to go off the deep end. Liberals hate truths. But my, do they love throwing hissy fits. Published September 3, 2019
U.K. boy blinded by bad eating is product of bad parenting
A teenager in the United Kingdom went deaf and blind because he ate nothing but potato chips, french fries, white bread, processed meat and similarly low-to-no nutrition junk foods, for more than a decade. This is the caretakers' fault. They're the ones, after all, who had the power of the purse when it came to food. Published September 3, 2019
