Abortion is not a ‘business’
It's a tad tinny-eared for 180 or so leading company executives to get together and sign a letter in The New York Times to say America's emerging abortion protections for the unborn are "bad for business." Yes? It's sort of in the vein of saying border laws were bad for Pablo Escobar's business. Published June 11, 2019
Alabama’s new castration law for child molesters a strong pro-child stance
Alabama's Republican governor, Kay Ivey, just signed into law a measure that allows the state to chemically castrate certain child sex offenders as a condition of their paroles. As imagined, the American Civil Liberties Union is aghast. But this is a good thing. The message is: Children matter. Published June 11, 2019
Impeach Donald Trump at civil peril
Democrats have set their 2020 course on Impeach Trump, Prosecute Trump, and frankly, this is how it's going to be the next several months. But this road, at its farthest point, doesn't end well. There is no way President Donald Trump's base will stand quietly as Democrats sacrifice all that's law and order for political gains. Published June 11, 2019
Male masquerading as female steals another female trophy
This weekend, yet another male -- defined as an individual who was assigned by God at birth as a boy, not a girl, the only other sex option that exists -- took home the top place trophy for his competition in the female hurdler event. The political powers expect this male to be called a female, as he wishes. But that would be a lie. Published June 10, 2019
Beto O’Rourke’s last gasp: Vote me — I’ll prosecute Donald Trump
Beto O'Rourke, one of the Democratic hopefuls for White House, 2020, landed on a new campaign message these past days, and it goes like this: Vote for me, and I vow to prosecute President Donald Trump to the fullest extent of the law. Blink. He's gone. Published June 10, 2019
Climate change to bring ‘25 Holocausts’ — and other stupid leftisms
The sheep on the left would have it bleated otherwise. But this whole global cooling, global warming, climate change debate is pure propaganda. It's not about clean air. It's a Democratic fight for control and dominance and wealth and power. Published June 8, 2019
Democrats go dumpster diving for William Barr contempt
So Democrats finally formally introduced what they've been threatening to introduce for weeks now: their latest lame-road attempt to derail President Donald Trump's presidency. They call it a contempt resolution. Published June 7, 2019
New York Times delusion: We’re ‘in no way anti-Trump’
One of the editors for The New York Times, Deputy Managing Editor Rebecca Blumenstein, said at a FT Future of News event -- the FT for its sponsor, the Financial Times -- that no way, no how is her Gray Lady paper unfairly biased against President Donald Trump. Delusional? Methinks so. Published June 7, 2019
George Will’s off-mark likening of GOP, post-Trump, as ‘cult’
Perennial anti-President Donald Trumper and prolific writer George Will has penned a new book, "The Conservative Sensibility" -- and guess what: It's about the dire direction the Republican Party has taken post-Trump. Once again, Will's off base, off mark, off the reservation. Published June 6, 2019
Nancy Pelosi’s ‘prison’ wish for Donald Trump just pigheaded politicking
If Democrats are supposed to be the party of tolerance and diversity and acceptance, then Speaker Nancy Pelosi isn't exactly the best rep. An example? Calling for "prison" for the president, for example, just doesn't seem in line with opening doors of communications to accomplish legislative agendas -- also called Doing Your Job.

The good news about America’s floundering morals
Gallup just reported that more and more Americans are seeing a society that's going to the pot, rotting away in a low-moral morass and that oh me, oh my, the times are only changing for the worse. In a way, that's good news. Published June 6, 2019
Mayor Sadiq Khan’s knife control ain’t looking so good
A woman in London has been arrested for stabbing to "death" a blimp mockup of President Donald Trump with what authorities believe was a small pair of cutting shears. And this is curious because London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim to take on a mayoral role in a major Western city, has banned the carrying of knives. Published June 5, 2019
Paul Manafort’s new Black Lives Matter friend
Paul Manafort, scourge of Robert Mueller's special counsel investigators -- a.k.a. Deep State anti-Donald Trumpers, in White House and political truth-telling circles, that is -- has been sent to Rikers Island, the place where prisoners go to be abused. The place where even BLM activist Shaun King says he doesn't belong. Published June 5, 2019
U.N. human rights mouth actually calls U.S. abortion laws ‘torture’
Talk about a low culture moment. Kate Gilmore, the U.N. deputy high commissioner for human rights, in an interview with The Guardian, called out America's restrictions on abortion as "torture" and examples of "extremist hate." Come again? "This is a crisis," she said. "It's a crisis directed at women." Oh. My. Gosh. Published June 4, 2019
Donald Trump shoo-in for reelection, says historian with record of being right
President Donald Trump is on a fast-track slide to a second administration, says one historian whose opinion matters because he's correctly predicted the outcomes of the previous nine White House runs. No wonder the Democrats are ramping up, rather than abandoning, the "impeach, impeach, impeach" rhetoric. It's panic time. Published June 4, 2019
Venezuela admits — finally — economic collapse
Venezuela, the country the left had loved to showcase as a good example of what socialism could be -- until it started crashing and burning, that is, and then suddenly, the message from the left was that Venezuela wasn't a socialist nation at all -- has now openly admitted its economy is indeed, crashing and burning. Do tell. Published June 4, 2019
Robert Mueller hits, Robert Mueller runs
In this whole theatrical performance called "Impeach, Impeach, Impeach" that the Democrats have been playing since heir apparent Hillary Clinton went down in flames to Donald Trump, Robert Mueller's special counsel report was the main act. It was to be the a-ha moment to unseat Trump from the White House. But it failed. Miserably. Published June 4, 2019
Twitter’s new ‘Fabula’ fake news finder hints at more anti-conservative bias
Twitter's bought a new fake news finder -- a machine learning tool devised by the London-based Fabula AI, a company co-founded by Imperial College of London scientist Michael Bronstein and by chief technologist Federico Monti. Heads up, conservatives. This may be the next big social media enemy. Published June 3, 2019
Target goes full speed LGBTQ with ‘Love my dads’ shirts for kiddies
Target, the object of long-running Christian group boycott -- because of its opening of bathrooms and dressing rooms to those of both sexes -- is selling "Love my dads" and "Love my moms" shirts. And donating $100,000 to the Gay, Lesbian Straight Education Network. Published June 3, 2019
Birtherism, smirtherism: Jared Kushner stands ground
Newsflash: Jared Kushner defends father-in-law Donald Trump during an interview with Axios that focused, for an eye-rolling bit of time, on the now-president's previous -- i.e., years previous -- questioning of Barack Obama's birth certificate. And all the mentally competent go, umm, how is that a newsflash? Or, in Twitter lingo, WTF. Published June 3, 2019
