Terry McAuliffe, Clinton money man, makes ludicrous stab at morals
Terry McAuliffe, the power broker of Bill Clintondom, was out and about this past weekend telling MSNBC news watchers how immorally and horribly his old presidential pal treated Monica Lewinsky. Well, isn't that special. But McAuliffe speaking of morals is like watching O.J. pull on a too-tight leather glove. Something is painfully amiss. Published June 4, 2018
Iran’s call to fight ‘bullying’ Donald Trump a diplomatic boon for America
Iran has called on the countries of the world -- the ones that care, anyway -- to stand up to that big ol' bad bully Donald Trump and join forces to save the nuclear deal from the trash heap of U.S. history. Good. Now America can see clearly who's friend, who's enemy and who wants to play pussyfoot with a rogue, despotic nation over a principled, free America. Published June 4, 2018
Raging social media idiots of the left
It's no shocker to say the left, as a whole, needs a good mouth-washing with soap. But it's not just politicians who are affected by the left's vicious and vile vocabulary. It's anyone with conservative leanings who dares post conservative thoughts on social media. Published June 2, 2018
Samantha Bee, Keith Olbermann and a stunning shaming from CNN
CNN's Brooke Baldwin weighed in on the controversy surrounding comedian Samantha Bee's calling of Ivanka Trump a "feckless c--t" by slamming -- get this -- Bee. And then she slammed the vile Keith Olbermann. And the left, for hypocrisy. It was a stunning slap-down, in and of itself. But it was all the more eye-opening given Baldwin's affiliation with mainstream media. Published June 1, 2018
David Hogg, the anti-gun extortionist with Al Sharpton style
David Hogg, one of the students from the Parkland, Florida, shooting incident who's now gone punch-drunk on anti-gun juice. He's using a shakedown style of First Amendment-ing. It's what made Al Sharpton much of his money. Published June 1, 2018
Mitt Romney voted for his wife, not Donald Trump, for president?!
Mitt Romney, failed presidential candidate and former governor of Massachusetts, finally revealed the name of the person he selected for commander-in-chief at the ballot boxes in 2016 -- his wife. WTFreak. This is everything conservatives hate about the Republican Party and the elitism of establishment-minded politicos. Published May 31, 2018
CIA, deep in Deep State brouhaha, faces new disgrace
A former CIA officer named Kevin Mallory, 60, is now on trial for allegedly selling secrets about American "human assets" -- read: spies -- and other sensitive data to the Chinese. This is not the type of P.R. the agency needs right now. Published May 31, 2018
How atheists benefit from religious freedom
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has announced a gathering of "like-minded" political counterparts from foreign nations to discuss ways to advance religious freedoms around the globe. Atheists will no doubt scream, criticizing the openly, unapologetically Christian-believing Pompeo for daring to tie foreign policy to what they see as a figment of imaginations, God. But they shouldn't. Published May 31, 2018
George Soros, buying a district attorney near you
George Soros, the billionaire of progressive-slash-socialist and globalist causes the world over, has been busy buying his way into local district attorney campaigns in the United States. Talk about trying to turn the judicial system into an activist camp for the left. Published May 30, 2018
Donald Trump is to Roseanne Barr like Barack Obama is to Kathy Griffin
Roseanne Barr mistakenly fired off a racist tweet aimed at Valerie Jarrett and now the left is crowing, "See? See? This is what happens when you have Donald Trump in the White House." Stuff and nonsense. Trump is not to blame for Barr -- just as Barack Obama, say, can't be faulted for Kathy Griffin. Published May 30, 2018
Maryland researchers say they discovered ‘Holy Grail’ of machine learning
A team of researchers from Maryland say they've invented a general artificial intelligence way for machines to identify and process 3-D images that doesn't require humans to go through the tedium of inputting specific information that accounts for each and every instance, scenario, difference, change and category that could crop up. The "Holy Grail" of machine learning, in other words -- in their words, in fact. Published May 29, 2018
Chelsea Clinton, a perfect example of why left is Not Real American
Chelsea Clinton, daughter of the president who was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, nonetheless found the nerve to tell an overseas newspaper, The Guardian, that Donald Trump is not only less than presidential -- but he's also less than American. He's not a real American, she suggested. Published May 29, 2018
God-given, not government granted, guides Second Amendment
Patrick Ryan, a Democrat running for Congress in New York, told a CNN audience that one of his political platforms is to put into effect strict limits on the Second Amendment because the First Amendment comes with limits, so why not the second, as well? Well, sorry, Mr. Ryan. The Second Amendment, like the First, is God-given, not government granted. Published May 29, 2018
Spying, schmying, fact is — perception is reality
Former intel guy James Clapper told Joy Behar, co-host of "The View," the FBI was not spying on then-candidate Donald Trump, but rather only Russians, and that yada yada, there's nothing to see here folks, go home. But let's hold up the horses, just a bit. After all, in dictionary-speak, a spy's a spy's a spy. Published May 26, 2018
Alexa? Why are you recording me, Alexa?
A husband in Oregon recently received a strange telephone call from his boss that went like this: Unplug your Alexa. You're being hacked. Except he wasn't being hacked. His Amazon Echo device had actually recorded conversations between the man and his wife, and then sent them along to the man's boss as audio file attachments. Published May 25, 2018
FDA’s pitiful, politicized press to pull baby teething meds from market
The Food and Drug Administration issued parents some stern warnings about teething medicines for their babies, and simultaneously told manufacturers and retailers that if they didn't "voluntarily" stop selling the product to the tiny toddler demographic, they would face legal action from the feds. Voluntary compliance -- gotta love the federal definition of that, yes? Published May 25, 2018
Roger Goodell gets one right
Roger Goodell, NFL commissioner, has sparked some players' union backlash by announcing those who want to bend knees during this season's game-time playing of the national anthem may do so -- but from the locker room, not the field. But really, Goodell got it right. Finally. Published May 24, 2018
Donald Trump vows not to sign border bill without ‘real wall’
President Donald Trump, speaking to Fox News' "Fox & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade in an exclusive interview, vowed border-related bills weaving through Congress that don't include provisions to fund and build a "real wall" won't meet with his approval, and ultimately, won't pass his White House desk. Take a memo, Democrats and soft-on-border-control Republicans. Published May 24, 2018
Democrats, desperate, face doozy of election fight
Democrats, according to recent polls, face what could kindly be called an uphill election-time battle. Kindly. More to truth, they're facing a Chimborazo climb, so dubbed in recognition of the world's highest peak -- yes, higher even than Mount Everest. Published May 24, 2018
Tomi Lahren assaulted — and even Kathy Griffin rises to her defense
Tomi Lahren, Fox News contributor and bold-to-the-point-of-brash political pundit, was verbally assaulted and physically hit with the contents of a drink by a bunch of angry brunchers at a Minneapolis restaurant. And get this: Even Kathy Griffin says that's not "cool." Published May 23, 2018
