Beto ‘don’t call me Howdy Doody’ O’Rourke unveils $5 trillion Green plan
Oh boy, oh joy, Beto O'Rourke, the once-upon-a-time golden star of Democratic politics, has a new Green plan, and yes, it'll cost $5 trillion, but at the end of the day, the world will be saved. That Robert Francis -- he's no Howdy Doody. No matter what all those people say. Published April 29, 2019
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defends her Christianity from Kellyanne Conway
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist lawmaker from New York, lashed out at Kellyanne Conway on Twitter, accusing the White House counselor to the president of unfairly and unreasonably questioning her Christian faith on national television. This is somewhat astonishing. Socialists, after all, aren't really known for their faith. Published April 29, 2019
On immigration, prideful politicians aren’t working for us
Gallup found in its most recent poll that Republican voters believe immigration is the "most important problem" facing America right now. This is how it's been for some time. Yet through the years, little changes. Why? Simply put, prideful politicians put their own interests first, and forget they work for voters. Published April 27, 2019
Joe Scarborough’s shameful attack on Franklin Graham
Joe Scarborough of MSNBC fame may need ratings. But attacking Franklin Graham and the evangelist's Christian views should be the red line -- and not the fake and flimsy type of red line Barack Obama drew with Syria's unleashing of chemical weapons on its own people, either. A real one. Published April 25, 2019
Joe Biden, 76, jumps in with ‘Trump is a racist’ guns blaring
Joe Biden jumped into the political race to the White House with a message of -- Donald Trump is racist? Not exactly the sort of inspiring call that brings you to your feet, hands a'clappin', feet a'stompin'. But OK, Charlottesville is good, too. Published April 25, 2019
Even Hillary Clinton waves caution flag on impeachment
Hillary Clinton, in an op-ed published in The Washington Post, urged her fellow Democrats to find a better path to the White House and full congressional domination than simply pressing for impeach, impeach, impeach. Democrats: You know you're off the rails when even perennial rail-rider Hillary Clinton phones in the caution. Published April 25, 2019
Bernie Sanders may have just bit the big one
This is the story of how Bernie Sanders, the socialist-minded senator from Vermont, took his crazy-minded socialism a bit too far and dropped a bomb right in the midst of his presidential campaign -- right in the middle of America's jail populations. Voting rights for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev? Even Cher goes, say what? Published April 25, 2019
Rush Limbaugh makes the case: Hillary Clinton ‘needs to be in jail’
Rush Limbaugh, on "The Story" on Fox News with Martha MacCallum, said it's not President Donald Trump who has anything to worry about when it comes to the whole Russia investigation thing -- it's Hillary Clinton. She should be in jail, Limbaugh said. And a whole world of political watchers go -- absolutely. Published April 24, 2019
Pete Buttigieg, hero to gays, enemy of truth
If Pete Buttigieg thinks the Bible is a book of personal interpretation, he's not just wrong. He's utterly blind. And by repeating that utterly blind message on his public platform, he's selling a deception to others. Published April 23, 2019
Democrats’ ridiculous race of giveaways
The larger the field of Democratic candidates becomes, the more Americans are treated to promises of free stuff. It's become a race of giveaways. Where will it end? Nobody knows. This is one merry-go-round that shows no signs of slowing. Published April 23, 2019
America’s growing fatigue with Mueller nonsense
Democrats are rapidly emerging as Republicans' best hope for 2020. Why? They're failing to see how fed up Americans are getting with the whole "Donald Trump did it" line of messaging from the left, despite the far more factual "Donald Trump didn't do it" special counsel report from Robert Mueller.

Bill de Blasio, the SUV-driving man with the fault-finding Big Green plan
Mayor Bill de Blasio, in an appearance on "Morning Joe" on MSNBC to explain his decision to go Green New Deal in New York City and switch entirely to renewable energy within the next five years, faltered when pressed on his own gas-guzzling SUV use. And such is the way of the radical environmentalist: Do as I say, not as I do. Published April 22, 2019
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton tip anti-Christian ‘Easter worshippers’ hats
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton avoided using the word "Christians" while commenting on Twitter about the horrific attacks on Christians on Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka that left hundreds dead and injured. Instead, the ex-prez and former secretary of state called the victims "Easter worshippers." Published April 22, 2019
Mueller investigation’s missed opportunities: FISA, law enforcement reform
Democrats have made it clear they're not going to let go the contents of Robert Mueller's report without giving it the full impeachment treatment. This is unfortunate. The Mueller investigation gives opportunities for the parties to come together -- on FISA and on law enforcement's treatment of innocent-until-proven guilty suspects. Published April 20, 2019
Pete Buttigieg: Just another climate alarmist extraordinaire
Pete Buttigieg, the Democratic presidential hopeful from the city of South Bend, Indiana, called out climate change as the "greatest security issue of our time" during his recent announcement speech. And if we don't fix it, we'll all die. He's yet the latest from the left to use climate change for political advantage by claiming the same. Published April 19, 2019
James Clapper, ‘least untruthful’ tool of left, sees impeachment in Mueller report
James Clapper, former director of national intelligence, said that Robert Mueller's special counsel report is "devastating" enough that it lays out a clear path of impeachment of President Donald Trump. What a tool. Clapper is the left's "least untruthful" tool to keep alive Democratic hopes of crumbling this president. Published April 19, 2019
William Barr speaks — and deaf, dumb Democrats go: #ReleaseTheReport
No collusion. No obstruction. No evidence of trying to stymy the special counsel's investigation -- those are the nuts and bolts of Attorney General William Barr's determinations regarding President Donald Trump and what can now be cavalierly called That Russia Thang. Guess what else is a big "no"? The chance for the left to let this go. Published April 18, 2019
America’s shifting demographics, and why GOP should smile
America, come 2020, will have for the first time more Hispanics eligible to vote in the election than blacks -- than any other racial or ethnic minority group, for that matter. And smile, Republicans. This is one minority voting block the Dems can't claim in their pockets. Published April 18, 2019
Tim Ryan, 2020 hopeful, bucks own party’s trend to socialism
Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan, Ohio, in recent comments on national television, said socialism is not the way America should go. Did you catch that? He's a Democrat. And he kind of denounced socialism. Publicly. This is one of those hurrah moments in political times. Published April 17, 2019
Laura Ingraham’s head on a platter, say all the riled-up rappers
Rappers like Snoop Dogg and The Game are angry with Laura Ingraham and want her to be fired. Isn't this like the 80th or 90th time somebody's called for Ingraham's booting from Fox News? In like, two months or something? Well, in like a year or so, really. Published April 17, 2019
