Democrats need to control their freshmen
At the risk of being called racist -- Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley ought to retire to their congressional corners, crack open a copy of the Constitution and spend some quiet time reading. Maybe then they'd learn how the public servant class is supposed to operate in this country. Published July 15, 2019
Democrats, ‘Douglass Plan’ set course for more racial division
In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech imagining a time when his children "will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." Then, as now, the words ring powerful. But with Democrats at the helm, that dream will never come. Published July 13, 2019
Hillary Clinton’s people still insist it’s the woman thing
Jennifer Palmieri, the former communications director for then-presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, chalked up her candidate's loss to -- get this, it's broken-record-meet-deja-vu, ta da ta da -- sexism. Again with the freaking gender card. Seriously, now. Stop. It's making women -- all women -- look bad. Published July 12, 2019
Product lickers symptom of sick, selfie-obsessed nation
If there were no such thing as selfies, there probably wouldn't be as many of these sick product lickers out there. If social media weren't so targeted toward the lowest common denominator -- the low achievers who think 1,000 likes is akin to genuine accomplishment -- then product licking wouldn't be a thing.

George Soros’ son, wielding the hatchet at Tucker Carlson
The left, led by vicious anti-American forces, is on a wide-sweeping mission to stomp out any vestige of freedom -- or critical thinking -- in this country, so as to establish a collectivist, easily controlled system of governing. Published July 11, 2019
ICE raids ‘absolutely going to happen’
Whether the raids actually take place or not, at this point, doesn't even matter. Illegals have been set on notice. They've been sent the message. They've been warned, they're being watched, and they're as they should be: treading carefully, looking over their shoulders, worried they may have to face account for the laws they're breaking.

Left’s bizarre insistence on climate ‘emergency’
Sen. Bernie Sanders, on the presidential campaign trail, put out a video announcement of legislation he introduced with Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Earl Blumenauer declaring climate change as a national emergency. And that raises the very respectable, rational question: Do these people really believe what they say?

‘Ban Facial Recognition’ campaign kickstarts — but in futility
A group called Fight for the Future has just launched a campaign calling for a national ban on government's use of facial recognition technology. The call, at BanFacialRecognition.com, may be justified. But honestly, that's just one genie that's not going back into the lamp any time soon. Published July 9, 2019
Tom Steyer jumps in race, carting 1960s messages of dandelion love
Billionaire Tom Steyer, who wants to impeach President Donald Trump, acknowledged on Twitter that he was running for the high White House office. That's after insisting for some time that he wasn't. Published July 9, 2019
Jeffrey Epstein attorney shocks, shrugs off ‘rape’ as ‘statutory maybe’
Reid Weingarten, the lead attorney for Jeffrey Epstein, created a stir during his client's arraignment hearing by seemingly shrugging off the fact that some victims, simply because of their young ages, were regarded, in the eyes of the law, as raped. Eh, it's only statutory, he said, shocking the court. This is called Bad Lawyering. Published July 9, 2019
Taxing whites moves mainstream
Once upon a time, the idea of taxing white people for their skin color was the stuff and nonsense of satire -- or, at the very least, of the rantings of the radical left, mostly minorities, seeking payback for America's dark days of slavery and racism. Even then, it was dismissed. Published July 9, 2019
Soccer sucks anyway
The American women's soccer team just won its second straight World Cup after defeating the Netherlands over the weekend -- after which midfielder Allie Long dropped the U.S. flag on the ground to do a little dance with seriously Trump-hating teammate Megan Rapinoe. Soccer sucks anyway. Published July 8, 2019
Michelle Obama’s whiney sour grapes tell on Donald Trump
Michelle Obama, former first lady, finally dropped the big reveal on her thoughts during President Donald Trump's inauguration -- and guess what, they weren't complimentary. No. Really. You don't say. 'Cause all those rollicking eye-rolling stone-faced looks during the ceremony didn't give it away. Not. Published July 8, 2019
Kamala Harris, the candidate Donald Trump must beat
Team Trump, start your engines. Sen. Kamala Harris isn't just having a good post-debate bump in the polls. She's having a good presidential run and showing why she's the candidate to beat in 2020. This is no plug for Harris, it's a warning to prepare for the fight well. Published July 6, 2019
Men make better surgeons, doctors say — and female physicians agree
If one of the biggest challenges in Big Tech is to overcome inherent biases in the modeling systems -- then even a simple survey showing people automatically prefer men to women for their surgical needs takes on a new light. Published July 5, 2019
Donald Trump soars with July Fourth speech
Naysayers, critics, Democrats and mainstream media talking heads predicted President Donald Trump's Fourth of July speech would go over like a campaign rally, filled with self-congratulatory platform-type talk and grandiose -- well, grandstanding. They were wrong. And even some of the normal naysayers are even admitting as such. Published July 5, 2019
Fourth of July? Have a little Bible with that
Today is the Fourth of July -- and happy birthday, America: How about a little Bible with those celebrations. After all, America's DNA is firmly rooted in the book of Judeo-Christian teachings, in the tenets of the Ten Commandments, in the principles taught by -- gasp -- even Jesus Christ himself. Published July 4, 2019
Left’s disingenuous defense of Fourth of July
The left, as it's wont to do, has been busily pretending it's something it's not -- heartily defending the Fourth of July as a completely non-partisan, non-political celebratory time where America draws together in love of country, love of patriotism, love of liberty, while scornfully complaining that President Donald Trump's corrupting the day for personal gain. As if. As if the left, heavily corrupted by its socialist interest as it is, knows patriotism. Published July 3, 2019
Charlottesville drops Jefferson — so by logic, U.S. should drop Virginia
The problem with revising history and trying to blot out black facts and sugarcoat and forget is knowing when to stop. Charlottesville, Virginia, is facing just such a conundrum right now. And it's a conundrum that, by logical extension, could only be solved by erasing the entire town history of Charlottesville, the entire county history of Albemarle that encircles Charlottesville -- heck, even the entire state history of Virginia.

Edward Mosberg, Holocaust survivor, demands Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ouster for ‘stupidity’
Edward Mosberg, a Holocaust survivor who invited Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to tour the concentration camps in Germany with him has now shrugged off her refusal, called out her "stupidity" and demanded her ouster from Congress. The guy is 93 years old. If anyone would know "stupidity" when he sees it, he would. Published July 2, 2019
