Greta Thunberg, a parent’s nightmare
Greta Thunberg, bless her heart, must be a real saint to live with -- and yes, that's the Southern meaning of "bless her heart." Published September 24, 2019
Bernie Sanders has the teachers in his wallet
If teachers are funding Sen. Bernie Sanders, and professors at higher places of learning are donating to socialists, then you can be sure the students they teach aren't learning anything positive about America -- or negative about socialism. Published September 24, 2019
Bill Weld moves impeachment bar — to ‘death’
Bill Weld, the former governor of Massachusetts who's making a run against President Donald Trump for the Republican ticket to the White House, managed to move the old impeachment call a bit further down the delusion scale by reminding MSNBC audiences that the punishment for treason is "death." Go big or go home, right? Published September 23, 2019
Donald Trump’s got his U.N. priorities straight
President Donald Trump has decided that instead of sitting through yet another -- yawn -- climate change meeting at the United Nations, he's going to discuss something that really matters, that's truly important, that's actually crucial to the world at-large: religious freedom. You go Trump. This is what matters. Published September 23, 2019
Big Business helps keep America free
Sens. Elizabeth Warren and others on the left have made entire political careers out of denouncing Big Business. But America should go slow on ye olde "Hate Business" path. Not only do companies bail out plenty in need. But they also help keep America free by taking on costly responsibilities that would otherwise fall to Big Government. Published September 21, 2019
U.N. staff call on U.N. to practice what it climate preaches
More than 2,000 employees of the United Nations have called on their own U.N. bosses to practice what they preach when it comes to the environment and reduce their own carbon footprints. Gasp. Might that mean the global elite would have to give up their cushy-albeit-carbon-heavy private jet travels? Indeed. Published September 20, 2019
Michael Savage’s ‘hot dog summit’ with Donald Trump
Move over, beer summit. This president, Donald Trump, doesn't drink. What he does do is eat hot dogs -- and aboard Air Force One, he shared one with none other than talk radio icon Michael Savage. As far as memories go, that's a pretty cool one. Published September 20, 2019
Dick Durbin to fellow Democrats: Enough impeachment already
Sen. Dick Durbin, speaking about the impeach, impeach, impeach mentality of his fellow Democrats, said it's high time his fellow Democrats stepped away from the impeach, impeach, impeach mentality. Finally. A Democrat who can see the 2020 writing on the wall. Published September 17, 2019
Robot priests, A.I. gods transforming the world of worship
Mindar is the name of a new priest tasked with delivering sermons and overseeing religious ceremonies at a 400-year-old Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. Mindar is not human. Mindar is a robot. And it's just the latest sign of A.I. creeping into religions around the world. Published September 17, 2019
Democrats, on Brett Kavanaugh, trying to frighten future judicial picks
Here's a question: If President Donald Trump nominated you to the U.S. Supreme Court -- or to any high-ranking judicial office, for that matter -- would you seize the moment and say yes? After watching the takedown of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, both Part One and now, the emerging Part Two, no doubt for many, the answer would be no thanks. Published September 16, 2019
Brett Kavanaugh impeachment call a grotesque media-Democrat smear
Two reporters for The New York Times wrote that one of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's former Yale classmate allegedly saw him "with his pants down" at a college party. And that was all campaigning Democrats needed. Away they went; impeachment, they cried. Published September 16, 2019
Democrats still lack chops to beat Donald Trump
Democrats, ten of 'em, took to the ABC News stage for their third debate to offer up the best and the brightest and the most of their mostest to defeat Donald Trump in 2020, and they came up with this: The president's a racist. Really? Let the congratulatory parties for Trump's reelection begin now. Published September 14, 2019
Joe Biden’s teeth took away all his political bite
If Joe Biden even had a chance in Thursday evening's debate, it was swallowed up in his on-air struggle with his teeth. Poor Joe. He thinks he's the heir apparent who simply has to show up and voila, all the ballots will waft gently to his feet. This was Hillary Clinton's mistake. Published September 13, 2019
Beto O’Rourke hands GOP, NRA golden ticket
Thanks, Beto. "Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47," he said, on television, on the Democratic Party debate stage, for all to hear and see. "We're not going to allow them to be used against fellow Americans anymore." It doesn't get any clearer than that. Published September 12, 2019
Elizabeth Warren’s gasp-worthy slap at the rich
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, on the stage and answering questions about her visions of health care, slipped in a rather significant -- and somber -- remark about the rich in this country that goes to the heart of socialist delusion. She said, in essence: the rich don't work. The rich don't work hard. Published September 12, 2019
Muslim kids in Philly dance to chopping heads jihad song — and we still don’t know why
In April, a group of kids at the Muslim American Society Islamic Center in Philadelphia were captured on camera dancing and lip-syncing to a happy little ditty of chopping heads and leading armies of Allah and torturing enemies and other Islamic political and religious principles. And the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations announced an investigation. Investigation indeed. Now: Where are the results? Published September 12, 2019
Democratic debates offer good drinking games
Perhaps the most interesting aspect that's emerged about the Democrats' third debate has nothing to do with candidates or policy, and everything to do with an email ABC sent to the party, warning the FCC frowns on televised drops of f-bombs and the like. And that, of course, opens doors wide to drinking game opportunities. Published September 12, 2019
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
