'No Kings' sets leftist lies and lunacy on display

- The Washington Times

Tens of thousands of anti-Donald Trumpers took to the streets over the weekend for rallies against the president -- and sanity. Billed as "No Kings" events, the Internet was quick to point out the protesters have already got what they wanted. America hasn't elected a king since -- well, ever.

Democrats and their love affair with men's tampons

Maryland may be facing financial deficits and budgetary hardships, but that's not stopping lunatic Democrats from pushing to spend tax dollars on tampons for men. Next up: tax-paid Breastfeeding 101 classes for pregnant males? Perhaps Pete Buttigieg could be the featured speaker.

Free the lobstermen! Fire the bureaucrats

- The Washington Times

Frank Thompson, a fifth-generation Maine lobsterman, has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to put a stop to a federal policy requiring all licensed lobstermen to install GPS trackers on their boats so government entities can monitor their moves. Good Lord, government. Let the lobstermen go free, for crying out loud.

America's growing political elitism problem

- The Washington Times

Michele Tafoya, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota, said one way Americans could deal with rising gasoline prices is to "maybe" "take one less trip to Starbucks and so that gas goes a little further." Are Americans supposed to say thank you, Michele?

Iran's war on America is real

- The Washington Times

The chant from Iran for 40-plus years has been "death to Israel, death to America, death to the West" -- meaning, radical Islamism is not a regional threat, or a country vs. country threat, but rather a global assault on freedom, justice, equality, law and order.
