Joe Biden’s silly ‘James Bond-style’ gun control fantasy

Joe Biden has a dream. He wants "James Bond-style" smart gun controls to protect and save America from all kinds of crime. Well, that's just great.

Democrats’ wild-eyed rhetoric will be their election downfall

Democrats and members of the left have been taking their mouths on some wild rides lately, calling out President Donald Trump as Hitler, characterizing his border control as concentration campy and such.

If polls mean anything -- and generally, they don't, except as glimpses in time, but this one's too happy to ignore -- then ding, dong, socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's legislative days may soon be dead. Ice cream cones for everybody. Make that, water bottles. Published June 19, 2019

Harvard, in a move that's supposed to be seen as predicated on principle, told Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor Kyle Kashuv, 18, that sorry, due to your use of the N-word when you were 16, your admissions' ticket has been yanked.

It's campaign season and the Democrats are scrambling for traction, so guess what, America, make way for the weekly, daily, hourly horse race of polls.

Abortion is not a ‘business’

It's a tad tinny-eared for 180 or so leading company executives to get together and sign a letter in The New York Times to say America's emerging abortion protections for the unborn are "bad for business."

Democrats have set their 2020 course on Impeach Trump, Prosecute Trump, and frankly, this is how it's going to be the next several months. But this road, at its farthest point, doesn't end well.
