Oprah Winfrey’s despicable ‘ShoutYourAbortion’ advocacy

A few days ago, in an appearance on "Washington Journal" on C-SPAN, I said in answer to a caller's question that I didn't know any woman who went cheerily toward an abortion, happily off to the operating table, in some sort of "let the suction begin!" type of trance. Then came Oprah with her "Shout Your Abortion" magazine feature. Published August 22, 2018

America is Venezuela with Democrats in charge

Venezuela is in crisis mode, its currency tanking, its oil-rich vastness a waste of socialist rule, its peoples desperate for even the most basic of human necessities. And this is where the young Democrats and progressives of America would like to head. Published August 21, 2018

Bill Maher, HBO’s resident liberal, rips left for chilling speech

Andrew Cuomo’s ‘total meltdown’ very un-JFK

Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York, made what's called in the world of politics a suicidal step by saying, for all the country to hear, that America's not that great -- that the notion of American exceptionalism is pretty much ridiculous. Or, at least, his comments would've been political suicide, in a day and age of Democrat reason. Published August 16, 2018

A.I.-equipped police: They’re watching, they’re listening — they’re Big Brothering

There aren't many in America who would begrudge police the tools to protect themselves -- to avail themselves of whatever technological devices are at their disposal to rid the streets of criminals, keep citizens safe and at the end of the shift, head home healthy and unhurt to their families and loved ones. But not at the expense of the Constitution. Published August 16, 2018

‘Hate speech’ is sneaky leftist censorship, not law

The left's censorship argument dangles precariously on the meaningless claim that in America, there's no room for hate speech. And I say meaningless because first off, nobody can define what constitutes hate speech and second off, even if they could, there are no criminal laws against speaking one's mind in this country -- except in cases of inciting riots.

Laura Ingraham run through shredder of lying national media

Fox News host Laura Ingraham sparked massive backlash around the country when she opened a monologue by calling for the lynching of all black people, the gunning down of illegals at the border, the ripping of little brown-faced babies from their mommas -- "not gringos," she called them -- and the chicken cage incarceration of any documented citizen that couldn't produce proof of membership in either the KKK or the NRA.

Title VII solution for social media censorship

All this social media censorship talk that's been fueling conservative angst in recent months has had the distressing effect of putting the ideological right exactly where the left wants it -- in a regulatory box with nowhere to go. The solution? The ideological right needs to create a new battlefield. How about Title VII of the Civil Rights Act? Published August 9, 2018
