Cornell University students move to ban ‘hate speech’
A Latino student at Cornell University overheard somebody chanting, "build a wall," so now the student government passed a resolution condemning "hate speech." Whatever that is. Seriously -- what is hate speech? Published September 25, 2017
Alejandro Villanueva, hero of the NFL
When the Pittsburgh Steelers decided to stay their sorry selves in the locker room during the playing of the national anthem at Sunday's game, the entire NFL fanbase, minus the Friends of Colin Kaepernick crowd, gave a collective sigh -- a heavy, frustrated, "here we go again" sigh. Then came Alejandro Villaneuva. Published September 25, 2017
Donald Trump: Deliciously impolite
Politeness is so overrated. President Donald Trump's naysayers have come out in full force in recent days to blast his tough-talk speech to the United Nations as bombastic, and his Twitter firings at North Korea's Kim Jong Un as dangerous. But the truth is: Keeping the world powers on its collective toes is good for America. Published September 23, 2017
Jimmy Kimmel, elitist pro-Obamacare mouth, is at it again
Jimmy Kimmel, the Hollywood comedian who turned into a pro-Obamacare mouthpiece a few months ago by speaking emotionally of his son's medical condition, is at it again -- this time, snarking it up on the televised stage how stupid Republicans are, how stupid the Obamacare repeal effort is and how very, very "phony" is the "little creep" from Fox News, Brian Kilmeade.

Jeff Sessions nails it: Some Dreamers indeed ‘wolves in sheep clothing’
Attorney General Jeff Sessions called for crackdowns on illegals -- on Dreamer illegals in particular -- who exploit America's kind heart for wicked reasons. And all the amnesty lovers go "gasp." But why? Truly, all Sessions said was common sense. Published September 22, 2017
NFLers call for racial sensitivity training for league leadership

Donald Trump faulted for fueling global love for Iran
The reverberations of President Donald Trump's first address to the General Assembly are still sounding, and the latest from the naysaying side is this ridiculous suggestion -- that his bold remarks on the Iran treaty have actually jumpstarted sympathy for the regime. Published September 21, 2017
Barack Obama, ever the campaigner, surfaces to slam Obamacare opponents
Obama's back, and he's here to hit at Republicans who want to repeal-reform-replace his signature Obamacare mess. It's curious, isn't it -- even when he's not in office, or seeking office, the ol' campaigner-in-chief, Barack Obama, can't stop the campaigning. Published September 21, 2017
Scott Pruitt, in fight for EPA life — literally
Scott Pruitt, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, has apparently generated so much controversy that radical green peeps are threatening him with near-regularity, to the point he's now getting extra armed protection. Seriously, folks, some perspective, please. Are trees that important? Published September 21, 2017
Joe Scarborough agrees: Donald Trump’s U.N. speech a winner
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, normally no fan of Donald Trump's -- to put it mildly -- nonetheless came out in defense of the president's speech before the United Nations. In short, Scarborough actually liked it. Check the skies for flying pigs. Published September 20, 2017
Colin Kaepernick: Apologize
Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback known these days more for his on-field displays of anti-Americanism than for his tossing skills, now says he's ready to play. Well, isn't that special. No apology? No play. That's what I say, anyway. Published September 20, 2017

Hobby Lobby cotton creation causes cries of racism
A new controversy has erupted in the left's ever-expanding war on racism, and this one is so ridiculous that even the left ought to be shaking heads in shame. Basically, a woman's claimed a Hobby Lobby art display of raw cotton -- comprised of a few sticks of the fiber stalks shoved into some glass jars, with the fluffy white spilling from brown branches -- is racist. Published September 19, 2017
Paul Manafort wiretapped — and suddenly, Donald Trump’s not so crazy
Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign manager, was being wiretapped by feds -- not just once, but twice -- as part of an FBI investigation into his dealings in Ukraine and Russia. The secret surveillance took place at a time when Manafort was in contact with Trump, all the way into 2017. And with that, Trump, who claimed that his Trump Tower had been wiretapped by Barack Obama in the lead-up to the election, is suddenly no longer the crazy dude the left made him to appear.

Donald Trump, the right guy to rein in the United Nations
