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.

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
Louie Gohmert blasts Robert Mueller: He’s an ‘anal opening’
Rep. Louie Gohmert, Texas Republican, called out Robert Mueller, the former special counsel for all-things-Russia-collusion -- or, make that all-things-no-Russia-collusion -- as an "anal opening," just days before he's due to appear before the House and answer questions about his investigation. No, really, Rep. Gohmert. Tell us how you really feel. Published July 2, 2019
Gay marriage backlash — and it’s about righteous time

George Soros, Charles Koch bringing another U.N. in America’s gates
If George Soros is the billionaire guy all the ideologically right types love to hate, and Charles Koch is the billionaire of Big Business adoration -- the guy leftists left love to hate -- what's up with their partnering for an "anti-war" Quincy Foundation think tank? Answer: Because Soros and Koch are cut from the same globalist cloth. Published July 1, 2019
Hong Kong strong: Freedom — the spirit that can’t be killed
Protesters in Hong Kong have amassed by the hundreds to set the government on notice and make clear: We don't need no stinkin' Communism. It's rather a sight for freedom-loving eyes. Published July 1, 2019
Health care for illegals just won’t cut it — or why socialism fails
Democrats think they can gift their way into the Oval Office. But after a while, even the most unaware of voters will start to wonder: How are you going to pay for this? That's one key to socialism's failure, right there. Published June 29, 2019
Voters see Democrats as outside the mainstream: Rasmussen poll
A new Rasmussen poll, taken just as the debates were due to kick off, finds voters think Democrats are more liberal, more extreme, more outside the mainstream than the general public. Published June 28, 2019
Boston’s ‘Straight Pride Parade’ critics have no cause to cry
Boston authorities gave the thumbs-up to an event application to hold a "Straight Pride Parade" in the city, sparking tensions among the LGBTQ community and prompting critics to call out the organizers as homophobic. Yet another example of the left's famous tolerance for all, right? Published June 28, 2019
Democrats and their depressingly dreary visions of Big Government
There were few surprises on the second night of the Democratic Party's first televised presidential debates -- and that's what's so sad. It was all about the give-away. What a depressing time to be an American. Published June 27, 2019
Bernie Sanders, out of the gate, slams Donald Trump as ‘pathological liar’
Five minutes into part two of the Democratic Party's presidential debates, and already the attacks on President Donald Trump were a'comin'. Kudos for Sen. Bernie Sanders, called to defend his socialism, for striking first and hard. He had to; his socialist brand can't withstand scrutiny, so his only choice is to distract with attack.

Cory Booker ‘splains funny debate face
Sen. Cory Booker, reacting to widespread laughter at the facial expression he wore while fellow Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke broke into Spanish mid-debate, said he was smiling 'cause he was strategizing. Published June 27, 2019
Facebook ‘stalking’ never quits — and it’s about to get worse
Facebook insists it doesn't listen on private conversations, and then use the content of those discussions to generate targeted advertisements to the user. But here's the thing: It doesn't have to. Facebook has so many other ways of tracking, recording, surveilling, etc., that it doesn't need ears. Published June 27, 2019
Thomas Homan, former ICE chief, dings Democrats for border deceits
Thomas Homan, President Donald Trump's pick for "border czar," weighed in on the Democrats' first presidential debate with harsh words that accused the left of selling a deceitful message about the cages used to house children at the border to open America to all crossers -- legal, illegal, whatever. And he's right. Published June 27, 2019
Democrats’ glaring blind spot
The Democratic Party's own internal polling shows that likely voters are sick and tired of the impeach-at-all-costs talk and would rather hear what their legislative leaders are doing on, say, health care. The fact that Democrats need a poll shows just how blinded by partisanship and self-interest their party has become. Published June 27, 2019
Democrats, debating, don’t disappoint: They’re still loons
Democrats and their ideas haven't changed much over the months of campaigning. Kudos for the consistency. Democrats, after all these months, still show as the party of loons. Published June 26, 2019

Beto O’Rourke, Democrats break into Spanish during debate
Beto O'Rourke, the guy who once had an abundance of media love and Democrat adoration, pretty much put a stop to his presidential aspirations during the opening moments of his party's first televised debate when he suddenly, inexplicably, broke into Spanish while answering a question from NBC host Savannah Guthrie. Even Cory Booker, down two podium to O'Rourke's right, was like, what the freak, man? Published June 26, 2019
