Gun control? London’s Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan bans knives
London's Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim to assume a mayor's role for a major Western city, thinks he's found the cause of the uptick in stabbings his community's seen in recent times -- wayward knives. And as such, he's banned the carrying of knives in the city. Published April 9, 2018
John Bolton in, Michael Anton out, and the media moan and mock
John Bolton's start as national security adviser kicks off Monday -- and that means the members of the mainstream media are prepping for the rash of stories on why the world is about to blow. Published April 9, 2018
The godless, leftist nature of artificial intelligence
The fast-moving field of artificial intelligence development is a lucrative one -- a head-spinning one -- an oft-surprising and exciting one. But peer past the frenzy of media headlines announcing the latest discoveries and newest breakthroughs and it's sad but true, the world of science, including technology, is a field dominated by godless leftists, too.

Kellye Burke, councilwoman who screamed at MAGA girls, par for the liberal loon course
Kellye Burke, the Houston-area councilwoman who was outed by media for screaming obscenities at a group of girls in a cookie shop because one wore a "Make American Great Again" t-shirt, was just charged with disorderly conduct. The fact that this occurred at all only underscores how mentally unstable the left is. Published April 6, 2018
Geraldo Rivera scoffs ‘immigrant crisis’ as ‘manufactured’
Geraldo Rivera, in a Fox News interview about illegal immigration that spoke of the migrants moving north from Central America and of the rape statistics of women who try to cross into the United States, called the situation "manufactured," hardly a crisis. Published April 6, 2018
John Brennan’s anti-Donald Trump tweets scream ‘Deep State!’
And you wonder why conservatives in America, particularly the pro-President Donald Trump crowd, believe in the existence of a Deep State. Check out John Brennan's Twitter feed. Published April 5, 2018
Eric Holder anti-gun ‘Operation Choke Point’ redux hits New York
Remember when Eric Holder, Barack Obama's attorney general-slash-political-pitbull, went after gun sellers by going after the banks who did business with them -- the old Operation Choke Point moment in the so-called "scandal-free Obama administration" time? Well here comes New York with a similarly sly gun control scheme. Published April 5, 2018
IRS smackdown, as judge OKs $3.5 million to tea partyers
Oh, happy day. Once in a while, justice is served, the good guy does win and the Big Bad Wolf at the Little American's door gets the kick in the arse it deserves. The Internal Revenue Service was just smacked with a preliminary order from a federal judge to pay up $3.5 million in settlement monies to tea party and conservative groups. Published April 5, 2018
Private property rights still very much a fight, circa 2018
President Donald Trump, a guy whose business life obviously revolved around the invocation of personal property rights, may hold the nation's highest office in the White House, and Republicans may dominate in Congress. But that doesn't mean the little guy has won. When it comes to private property rights, the Republican-dominated Congress is letting the ball drop. Published April 5, 2018
Nasim Aghdam’s YouTube scrub and Donald Trump Jr.’s good question
Donald Trump Jr. sent out a blunt tweet about the scrubbing of YouTube shooter Nasim Aghdam's social media accounts, asking why her hate-filled rants were so quickly pulled, and wondering aloud if authorities would've acted with such speed had she been a member of the National Rifle Association member rather than a liberal activist and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals supporter. He has a point. And it's actually larger than the one he was making. Published April 4, 2018
Mike Lindell, MyPillow guy, puts to shame Laura Ingraham boycotters
Mike Lindell, of "MyPillow" inventing and founding company fame, put forth a bold message on his Twitter feed that, in just a few short words, smacked to shame-land the would-be fascists and wanna-be censors of the world who've been demanding Laura Ingraham's head on a Fox News platter. Listen up, all you boycotting businesses: This is how it's done. Published April 3, 2018
Parkland students, police state style, back in school
Parkland, Florida, students returned to school, post-shooting, to receive their newest mandated accessories: clear backpacks and identification badges, and a line of security checks. They're not happy about it. And they have a point. But then again, they don't. The clamp-down on freedoms these students are now suffering is pretty much what some of them have been trying to inflict on the entirety of America is recent weeks. Published April 3, 2018
Left will have to soften or self-destruct
The left has overreached on gun control -- on using the Parkland, Florida, shooting horror as a crisis political tool -- and the only way out is to walk back the tough talk and soften on anti-Second Amendment and anti-free speech rhetoric, or self-destruct. Published April 3, 2018
Larry Elder’s brilliant expose of David Hogg-Laura Ingraham hullabaloo hypocrisy
It's been several days since Fox News host Laura Ingraham offered an apology to student gun control activist David Hogg for characterizing him as whiney on Twitter. And it's been a couple of days since Hogg told Ingraham, via national television, sorry, your apology is unacceptable -- and now you must denounce your employer or face the continued wrath of calls for advertiser boycott. Well, the battle lines have been drawn anew. Published April 2, 2018
New York Magazine sideswipes Donald Trump with pig snout portrayal
No, really, New York Magazine, tell us how you feel. The April 2 edition of the magazine shows the broadly smiling face of President Donald Trump with a massive pig snout as a nose. Cue "Twilight Zone" music and imagine, if you will, a magazine cover of the broadly smiling Barack Obama with a huge pig nose. Is that OK? Just a sidebar to consider. Published April 2, 2018
Yes, there is a hell — and thank God for that
Yes, indeed, there is a hell, a place where unrepentant souls go for eternal suffering. And really, thank God for that -- because without a hell, there'd be no heaven. Published March 31, 2018
Army basic training, lame for years, finally poised to toughen
The Army is reportedly mulling a toughening of basic training standards so recruits are better equipped to face the rigors of combat. This is a good idea -- an about time idea, in fact. Published March 30, 2018
Fear factor or not, the robotic dentists are coming
A new survey says dental patients, by and large, don't want to see a white-coated robot wielding a drill any time soon -- but they will take a 'bot before human for certain procedures, particularly if it saves them money. A robot as dentist? Hmm. Not a bad idea -- unless, of course, you're one of the bazillions of the world who absolutely fears the dentist chair. Published March 30, 2018
Donald Trump’s rising popularity only confounding to elites
President Donald Trump's approval numbers have just jumped. And it's not that difficult to see why. This is the direct fallout of positive White House economic moves coupled with rebound resistance to the overreach of the media and political left to paint Trump as all that ails the world.

#ProLifeWalkout a tit for tat to the left
Move over left. And be silent and accommodating -- at least as accommodating as for the "March For Our Lives" walk-outs. A #ProlifeWalkout, started by a 17-year-old California student named Brandon Gillespie, is now set for April 11 at spots around the nation. Published March 29, 2018
