Tech giants and the web they’ve weaved

Rep. Devin Nunes, the ranking Republican on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said he's "very concerned" about the "tech oligarchs" and the influence these left-leaning social media execs will have on the upcoming election -- on the whole state and fate of free speech, of conservative speech. And how right he is. Published September 3, 2019

Take back America — take back the schools

FILE - In this Feb. 15, 2018, file photo, President Donald Trump speaks in the Diplomatic Room at the White House, in Washington, about the shooting in Parkland, Fla. When shots rang out at a high school in Parkland, Florida last year, leaving 17 people dead, Trump quickly turned his thoughts to the need for more mental institutions. When back-to-back mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, jolted the nation earlier this month, Trump again raised the need for “building new facilities” for the mentally ill as a way to prevent mass shootings.

Alabama pastor’s unduly harsh condemnation of Trump voters

James Comey’s smug skirt of spirit of law

James Comey just skated prosecution, but instead of wiping his brow, breathing a sigh of relief and saying his hail Marys a thousand times or so, took to Twitter to mock President Donald Trump -- along with anyone over the past few months who've dared challenge his Boy Scout image and question his political motivations.

Alibaba Chief Executive Jack Ma said at the World A.I. Conference in Shanghai that technology was moving along at a rapid enough clip that one day, humans could very well max their work week at 12 hours -- and moreover, they should. Easy there, Ma.

Atheists slapped, as common sense, courage, come to court

A federal court ruled that a group of atheists demanding the right to deliver the invocation at the opening of legislative sessions in the Pennsylvania House are simply out of luck, and they'll have to take their secularist so-called prayers elsewhere. Finally. A court with courage to uphold the common sense aspect of the Constitution. Published August 29, 2019

Johnson & Johnson slapped with terrible ruling

Cleveland County District Judge Thad Balkman ruled Johnson & Johnson created an opioid crisis in Oklahoma by running a misleading marketing campaign and now must pay $572 million to the state.

Sen. Cory Booker, who still thinks he has a chance to win the White House, despite pulling a dismal 2.2% in a recent RealClearPolitics poll, just called his nephew "nie-phew" so as to not offend the kid, Avery, who identifies as non-binary. Delusion is in Booker's DNA. Published August 26, 2019

But the rest of the survey adds that for "most," it's not a critical issue when it comes to how they will vote. Published August 23, 2019
