Donald Trump haters have their next distraction
Democrats this morning are on a mass tantrum, taking to the media to outdo themselves with the best shock and awe impression they can muster over President Donald Trump's "sh--hole" comment -- the same comment Trump now denies, via Twitter, saying. Thing is: Democrats really don't care what Trump said. They only care about how they can use what they said to attack him politically. Published January 12, 2018
Luis Gutierrez, go home
Rep. Luis Gutierrez took to national television to call out President Donald Trump as a neo-Nazi and KKK leader. Gutierrez should go home. And not to the cushy, cozy home of his fellow anti-American elites in Illinois, but rather to Puerto Rico, his home of descent, the home he oh-so-proudly hails from while making political points against conservatives -- the home he mentally channels while dinging the president as a racist and a bigot and an enemy of the poor.

Donald Trump’s ‘sh—hole’ remark reason he was elected
President Donald Trump reportedly suggested the United States shouldn't take in immigrants from Haiti or other "s---hole countries" because they do little to bolster an America First agenda -- and now the world is on fire, tittering about racism and vulgarities and the foul-mouthed impoliteness of this White House commander-in-chief. But really folks, this is why Trump was elected in the first place. Published January 12, 2018

7-Eleven siege, as ICE raids for illegals
There's this 7-Eleven in Northern Virginia where scores of illegals hang, waiting for day work that may or may not come -- staring at and intimidating women who cross the parking lot. But now, thanks to federal immigration officers and the get-tough-on-borders approach of President Donald Trump, there are 98 fewer 7-Elevens across the nation this morning that are facing this same issue.

PolitiFact dings ‘Fire and Fury’ for poor sourcing, emotion-driven narratives
PolitiFact, a web-based watchdog of sorts for political reporting -- and hardly an entity that can be called a cover for the conservative movement -- issued a scathing assessment of Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" that no doubt will go far in solidifying the administration's line that the book is nothing but claptrap and lies, through and through.

Robert De Niro, mentally unstable, unleashes on Donald Trump
Robert De Niro, 74, slammed President Donald Trump in a recent interview as a "blatant racist," and "jerk-off-in-chief" and other things, yada, yada, yada -- proving, once again, why it's those on the left, not this commander-in-chief, who need psychiatric assistance. Published January 10, 2018

So Steve Bannon's out at Breitbart, the somewhat natural next chapter in the "Fire and Fury" saga that brought -- well, fire and fury from the White House for his book-noted criticisms against President Donald Trump and family.

DACA stays, as judge hands Barack Obama feather for his cap

Pope Francis admits: Not all migrants good, not all border limits bad
Pope Francis made a somewhat eyebrow-raising remark the other day -- eyebrow-raising because it's such a 180 from his normal progressive talk -- and it's one that went like this: Not all migrants are in the migrant move for the job opportunities. They're not all honorable in intent. Some, he said, may have less than praiseworthy intentions. Published January 9, 2018

It was Ronald Reagan who famously warned of the dangers of government -- who said "the most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'

Democrats. party of lies, sex and rape, nonetheless press Donald Trump as the unstable one
There's an old biblical principle that goes like this: Don't try and pull the speck from another's eye without first removing the log from your own. Democrats, on an all-courts-press to paint President Donald Trump as a mental nutcase, would do well to remember this adage. Published January 9, 2018

Oprah Winfrey speech powerful, but not presidential
