Donald Trump is winning — that’s why the left is unraveling
President Donald Trump rode into office on the wings, in part, of a promise to clean up the Deep State, drain the swamp and boot from places of influence those who've worked behind the scenes to undo America's greatness, one unconstitutional usurpation at a time. It must be working. How else to explain how nuts the left's been acting of late? Published April 17, 2018
Thomas Jefferson statue smearing as ‘Racist + Rapist’ despicable and revisionist
Thomas Jefferson was a complicated guy. So smearing his statue, as vandals just did, with the red painted words of "Racist + Rapist" at the University of Virginia, the college he actually founded, fails to take into account the complicated twists and turns of his beliefs, the pragmatic nature of his political leanings, the ultimate efforts he made to ban slavery from a significant portion of America.

Nancy Pelosi’s off-the-wall ‘Mueller to be fired’ fundraiser
Nancy Pelosi is pleading for money based on President Donald Trump's firing of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Only thing is: Trump has no intention of firing Robert Mueller. Published April 16, 2018
Donald Trump, with all his baggage, still wins with evangelicals
Evangelicals have been taking quite a hit in the media for standing by President Donald Trump. But why should they? Published April 13, 2018
James Comey tell-all strikes as revengeful rip of Donald Trump
It's not that the nation doesn't already know of James Comey's utter contempt for President Donald Trump. But there's something about putting hatred to print that makes it all the more vicious. And that's what Comey seems to have done with his new tell-all book, poised to hit bookstores across the country. It's his way of getting the last word with the president -- his way of exacting a revenge for being fired. Published April 13, 2018
Killer robots and the Pandora’s box they’d bring
Lest you think the idea of killer robots scouring the planet in search of targets to terminate is simply the stuff of science fiction, think again. Published April 12, 2018
Newt Gingrich goes there — compares FBI’s raid of Michael Cohen to Nazis
Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the House, ripped into the FBI for its raid on President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, comparing the federal action to the Nazi regime. And insofar as the rather ridiculous raids on Cohen's files go -- he's got a bit of a point. These are moves that ring more of Gestapo, less of constitutional America -- more of police state, less of republic, land of the law. Published April 12, 2018
Rush Limbaugh’s right: Firing Robert Mueller ‘worst thing Trump could do’
Rush Limbaugh said during a recent talk show segment that firing Robert Mueller is the "worst thing" President Donald Trump could do. That's true. Firing Mueller would play right into the Democrats' hands. Published April 12, 2018
John Boehner’s new, hypocritical marijuana money-making gig
John Boehner's got a new gig -- and it's tied to selling marijuana. How nice. Look at this headline from Quartz: "420,000 people were arrested for selling marijuana while John Boehner ran Congress. That speaks volumes, but can all be summed in a single word just the same: Hypocrite? Published April 11, 2018
Mark Zuckerberg’s misguided turn toward AI to define ‘hate speech’
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told members of Congress -- as well as a rapt TV audience -- that "hate speech" is tough to define, but within a few years, he expects artificial intelligence to assume a greater role in sifting the nuances of social media content on the company's pages and begin red-flagging and booting posts deemed hateful and hate-filled. This is hardly comforting. Published April 11, 2018
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Robert Mueller’s right-hand man
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, told members of the joint Senate meeting of the committees of Commerce, Science and Transportation and of Judiciary that yes, he is helping Robert Mueller with his special counsel business. Does anyone else find this a bit unsettling? Published April 11, 2018
Mark Zuckerberg: Please explain why pro-Donald Trump Diamond And Silk are ‘unsafe’
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is headed to Capitol Hill to testify about some social media matters, and answer questions from Congress about privacy and election interference and such. Good. Maybe at the same time he can explain why his site's censor gods think the black pro-President Donald Trump duo Diamond And Silk are considered a danger to society. Published April 10, 2018
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

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!’

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
