Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s baffling tweet to Dan Crenshaw
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fired off a flippant tweet Rep. Dan Crenshaw's way, telling the Texas congressman he ought not lend his guns to his friends because they're "likely" to have "abused their spouse or have a violent criminal record," she wrote. What? Published September 4, 2019
Walmart’s gone weak in the knees on guns
Walmart's CEO has decided to stop selling handguns and certain types of ammunition, and has also called on customers to please, please, please stop openly carrying their firearms. Yep. Walmart's gone weak-kneed. As if stopping legal gun buyers and legal firearms' carriers would stop gun-related crimes in its tracks. Published September 4, 2019
Lori Lightfoot’s thin-skinned Chicago hysterics
Sen. Ted Cruz remarked on Twitter, "Gun control doesn't work. Look at Chicago." And that was all it took for the left-leaning mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, to go off the deep end. Liberals hate truths. But my, do they love throwing hissy fits. Published September 3, 2019
U.K. boy blinded by bad eating is product of bad parenting
A teenager in the United Kingdom went deaf and blind because he ate nothing but potato chips, french fries, white bread, processed meat and similarly low-to-no nutrition junk foods, for more than a decade. This is the caretakers' fault. They're the ones, after all, who had the power of the purse when it came to food. Published September 3, 2019
Tech giants and the web they’ve weaved
Rep. Devin Nunes, the ranking Republican on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said he's "very concerned" about the "tech oligarchs" and the influence these left-leaning social media execs will have on the upcoming election -- on the whole state and fate of free speech, of conservative speech. And how right he is. Published September 3, 2019
Take back America — take back the schools
As Vladimir Lenin reportedly said, it only takes one generation of youth to transform the world. The left, in America, has had its generation. Time to take back and teach right. Published August 31, 2019
Alabama pastor’s unduly harsh condemnation of Trump voters
A Baptist church in Alabama got out in front of elections by posting a sign on its front-lawn billboard that said, "A black vote for Trump is mental illness." What is it with everybody these days thinking they're experts on long-distance determination of mental fitness? Published August 30, 2019
Neil Cavuto strikes one for freedom
Neil Cavuto, Fox News host, sent a scathing message President Donald Trump's way on national television, telling the White House chief that his cable company didn't work for him -- didn't work for anybody in the administration, in fact. It was a bold stand for the free press. Published August 30, 2019
James Comey’s smug skirt of spirit of law
James Comey just skated prosecution, but instead of wiping his brow, breathing a sigh of relief and saying his hail Marys a thousand times or so, took to Twitter to mock President Donald Trump -- along with anyone over the past few months who've dared challenge his Boy Scout image and question his political motivations.

A.I.’s lure of 12-hour work week a recipe for human disaster
Alibaba Chief Executive Jack Ma said at the World A.I. Conference in Shanghai that technology was moving along at a rapid enough clip that one day, humans could very well max their work week at 12 hours -- and moreover, they should. Easy there, Ma. Idle hands very often do lead to the devil's work. Published August 29, 2019
Atheists slapped, as common sense, courage, come to court
A federal court ruled that a group of atheists demanding the right to deliver the invocation at the opening of legislative sessions in the Pennsylvania House are simply out of luck, and they'll have to take their secularist so-called prayers elsewhere. Finally. A court with courage to uphold the common sense aspect of the Constitution. Published August 29, 2019
Bernie Sanders, blind and bonkers, buoys China’s economy over America’s
Sen. Bernie Sanders said in a recent interview that China has done more for poverty eradication than America -- more "than any country in the history of civilization," in fact. Wow. Talk about throwing America under the bus. And in such ignorant fashion, to boot. Published August 29, 2019
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s bizarre rant on diseases in frozen tundra, or something like that
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a bit of a reputation as being the, shall we say, dim bulb in the room. So in that respect, good news -- no harm, no foul, no reputation lost from this latest video she cut, calling out the dangers of climate change while overcooking macaroni and cheese.

Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj sign petition, yay for abortion
Roughly 140 of the world's most famous musicians joined Hollywood's most liberal in signing on to the Planned Parenthood-pressed "Bans Off My Body" campaign. Yay for abortion. It has a way of bringing the leftists out of their cobwebby corners and getting them to reveal their most despicable politics. Published August 28, 2019
Ilhan Omar: Just think, sharia stones to death for adultery
Rep. Ilhan Omar's made quite a splash around the scandals-in-politics circuit with her anti-Semitic comments, anti-Semitic innuendos and past blatant anti-Semitic tweets and social media messages. Now there's a new topic to talk up, courtesy The New York Post: adultery allegations. Published August 27, 2019
Johnson & Johnson slapped with terrible ruling
Cleveland County District Judge Thad Balkman ruled Johnson & Johnson created an opioid crisis in Oklahoma by running a misleading marketing campaign and now must pay $572 million to the state. Thank goodness for appeals. The case against Johnson & Johnson is about as flimsy as the cloth on Balkman's robe. Published August 27, 2019
Donald Trump’s MAGA dance irks Snooty McSnoot-Faces at G-7
President Donald Trump "confounds the world," gets "derailed by a smooth-talking Emmanuel Macron" and "leans into his chaotic style" at the Group of Seven summit in France -- according to the leftists and elitists in the media, that is. And now for a return to a more truthful assessment. Published August 27, 2019
Mosul — from 15,000 Christians to 40
Before ISIS, Mosul was home to 15,000 Christians. In July, Mosul was home to about 40. Any questions? It's called political correctness run amok. Published August 27, 2019

Trump’s murder rate, by CNN guest count, hits Stalin, Hitler, Mao levels
A psychiatrist went on national CNN TV to tell host Brian Stelter that this president, this Donald J. Trump president, may very well be responsible for more deaths than Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong. He's a busy guy, this Trump. Published August 26, 2019
