Thomas Jefferson under attack: Next up — the Declaration of Independence
Black Lives Matter protesters gathered 'round the Thomas Jefferson statue that stands in front of the rotunda at the University of Virginia and shrouded the Founding Father's face, demanding "justice" as they draped a sign that read, "Black Lives Matter -- F--k White Supremacy" over the monument base. Mark my words: First Robert E. Lee. Then Jefferson. Next up will be the Declaration of Independence and America's founding and governing documents. Published September 14, 2017

Satanists and Planned Parenthood — a match made in hell

Psychiatrists-slash-witch doctors pen anti-Trump book
Real psychiatrists are probably squirming in their office chairs at this -- but 27 of their professional colleagues have come together to write a book about President Donald Trump. Surprise, surprise, they find: Trump's an "antisocial" idiot with "malignant narcissism," and he's going down -- big time. And this is such a surprise because Trump, as these quack analysts acknowledge, isn't even their patient. Published September 13, 2017

Speaker Paul Ryan reportedly said during a private dinner earlier this year that nobody but nobody in Congress wanted a border wall -- well, nobody except "one member," Breitbart reported, citing a one-on-one with the former congressman, Tom Tancredo.

Christians outpace FEMA in aid to hurricane victims
Faith-based groups -- Christian nonprofits, specifically -- have been busy bees of late, providing more aid to hurricane victims than even FEMA, the federal agency that's supposed to swoop to the scenes of natural disasters, assess the situation and speed the recovery and rebuilding process. Just goes to show: Where charity exists, government is not needed. Published September 12, 2017
Stifling free speech, one Pamela Geller-Robert Spencer-Michael Savage at a time

It doesn't get any clearer -- or more honest -- than that. Published September 11, 2017
‘Trump betrays everyone’: Republican strategist goes hypocritical
