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
A.I. that halts thieves — before they steal
The customer is always right -- except when artificial intelligence says the customer isn't. That's sort of the message being sent by new technology aimed at catching crooks before they commit their crooked acts, anyway. Published April 16, 2019
Bernie Sanders, a capitalism success story, still can’t say how he’d pay
Bernie Sanders went on Fox News to talk about his presidential run and tell why his particular brand of socialism, the so-called democratic socialism, is best for America -- but once again failed to explain how he'd pay for Medicare for All, free college tuition and so on and so forth in a way that brings long-term economic stability. Published April 16, 2019
‘Climate refugees’ — Democrats’ new tool to kill U.S. borders
The left has a new tool to bring illegals to America -- to wedge border doors a bit wider in defiance of law and order -- and it goes like this: climate change. The weather. The weather is making people flee their countries and come to America. Wow. This is a new low even for the left. It's U.N.-speak, pure and simple. Published April 16, 2019
Mayor Bill de Blasio’s police state measles order mucho un-presidential
So New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio may run for the presidency. But he's recently OK'd the forced vaccinations of everyone who lives within the geographical boundaries of four ZIP codes heavily infected with measles. Is this the type of police state governance that belongs in the White House? No. Heck no. And no again. Published April 15, 2019
The return of the politicking pastors
Today's churches are filled with leaders who worry too much about maintaining their IRS tax exemptions, or about offending their tithe-paying members, than about delving too deeply into the pressing political affairs of our time. But ceding the political ground has not served America well. Published April 13, 2019
Medicare for All terrible, deceptive and un-American
America was founded on principles of limited government and individual freedom, where rights come from God, not government. Then came the left's message that health care is a right, a basic human right, and slash went the Constitution. Medicare for All, as Sen. Bernie Sanders is pushing, is about as un-American as policy can come. Published April 12, 2019
Julian Assange’s U.S. charges a ‘say what?’ moment
Let's hold the phone on the conviction and sentencing of Julian Assange for a moment. Exactly what did Assange do that, say, journalists protected by credentials from big corporate media entities don't commonly do during the course of pulling threads of information from their sources? Published April 11, 2019
Texas Republican’s crazy anti-abortion bill
A Texas Republican has re-introduced a bill that would criminalize and ban abortion and classify it as homicide, opening doors for women who terminate their pregnancies to face imprisonment and even sentences of death. And their little abortion doctors, too. Wow. There's pro-life. And then there's this: Crazy pro-life. Published April 11, 2019
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s costly Amazon misstep
Freshman lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was slammed by the majority of voters in her district who told pollsters she was wrong for driving away Amazon and its promised 25,000 highly paid job openings. Such is the thinking of a socialist: On paper, hitting hard at Big Business can seem noble. But the people still have to eat. Published April 11, 2019
