China’s chilling pre-crime prison indoctrination system
BBC News, equipped with cameras, went inside one of China's village reeducation camps -- and emerged not just with footage that would make a freedom-loving American gasp and gag, but also with prescient proof of why runaway Big Tech is bad for the Constitution. It's called jail first, ask questions later. Published June 25, 2019
Holocaust Museum’s subtle slap at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
The United States Holocaust Museum issued a statement making clear that comparisons of Nazi concentration camps with other matters of historical record or modern-day news are inappropriate.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s missed opportunity to shine

Jack Keane, retired general, salutes Donald Trump’s ‘strategic’ Iran offense
Retired military Gen. Jack Keane said on national television that President Donald Trump is to be commended for his past few days of foreign policy regarding Iran -- specifically, for heading up "the first administration in 39 years to be on the strategic offensive with the Iranians."

Joe Scarborough’s ludicrous attempt to school ‘lying’ Mike Pence on Christianity
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough ripped into Mike Pence during a recent televised rant, calling out the vice president as a liar, a fake Christian and a guy who simply sits idly by and smiles as little kids get tortured. There's just too much to unwind there to get it all in one sentence. But let's start with "L" for Ludicrous. Published June 24, 2019
America’s great divide: ‘Peace Cross’ versus Satanic Temple
Two headlines of major interest rocked national news at very nearly the same time this week -- the first, from CNN, "Supreme Court rules 'peace cross' in Maryland can remain," and the second, from the Associated Press, "Alaska government meeting opens with 'Hail Satan' prayer." The battle lines just don't get clearer than that. Published June 22, 2019

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. The Democrats' best hope for the presidency -- according to polls, anyway -- wants to use fictional characters exalted on Hollywood's big screens to hone our nation's Second Amendment.

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. And if they think they're winning the hearts and minds -- and votes -- of the American people with this rhetoric, they should think again. Published June 20, 2019
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s legislative days coming to end: Poll
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
Trump’s ‘personal pastor’ Paula White hits at ‘demonic networks,’ goes bold in ‘name of Jesus’
Paula White, dubbed in 2016 as Donald Trump's "personal pastor," kicked off the president's reelection campaign with an opening prayer that referenced the "demonic networks" that have aligned to destroy this White House. She wasn't just talking about CNN. LOL. But the key takeaway from her prayer was this: White said "Jesus." Published June 19, 2019
Climate change’s newest alarmism: It’ll eat your flesh
Five people in the last two years have been admitted to the same New Jersey hospital for treatment of the same flesh-eating bacterial infection, Vibrio vulnificus, tied to the same Delaware Bay -- and now scientists say it's maybe, or maybe not, but very possibly maybe, definitely likely maybe, due to climate change.

Harvard’s takedown of a little kid
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. Hmm. Monkey see, monkey do. Monkey thinks Harvard's full of poo. Published June 17, 2019
Beto O’Rourke blows Jake Tapper interview
In the course of just a couple minutes on CNN, struggling Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke went from "umm, I don't know" to "umm, yes, I think so" to "hmm, no, nope, not at all" on an issue that, in this point in the game, he ought to have a stand. It's like host Jake Tapper was his position whisperer or something. Published June 17, 2019
Meaningless polls and the media-driven art of the hype
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.
