Marines, sadly, go soft for snowflakes
Marines, long regarded the tough guy fighting force of the United States -- the branch above politically correct reproach, the one able to withstand the progressive onslaughts that have permeated America's military in recent years -- have a new, tailor-made message for millennials. And it's a bit on the softy side. Published March 17, 2017
Anti-police ‘pig’ art must go — and stay gone
A federal judge is poised to issue a ruling any day now about the fate of a controversial piece of art in the U.S. Capitol that shows a policeman as a pig -- and the fact that this even has to go to court shows not just the power, but the utter ridiculousness, of the progressive movement in America, circa 2017. Congress should not be in the business of promoting the idea that police are pigs. Published March 17, 2017
Civil asset forfeiture reform rears again — thank goodness
Sen. Rand Paul and Rep. Tim Walberg, both Republicans, have re-introduced one of the most important pieces of legislation to come forward in decades that will secure the rights of Americans to be safe in their possessions and properties -- a rollback to civil asset forfeiture laws. Speedy passage is needed. Published March 17, 2017
Media spin be hanged — food stamps falling and that’s great
And leftists say there's no such thing as a left-leaning media -- that media bias is all in conservatives' heads. Well, look at this headline, from The Washington Post, about the drop in numbers of illegals applying for food stamp benefits: "Immigrants are going hungry so Trump won't deport them."

No, Julie Andrews, cutting ‘the arts’ does not kill Bert and Ernie
So President Donald Trump wants to abolish the National Endowment for the Arts -- and now the artsy world is in a panic, as if the White House proposal means the end of creativity everywhere. Listen up, Left: People painted before the NEA, you know. Published March 17, 2017
Travel ban rulings expose left’s hypocrisy, wickedness
Here's a question that's floating in the winds of judicial clamp-down on President Donald Trump's latest travel ban: Since when did anybody on the left, to include activist judges, consider Trump and his blunt style of speaking anything but clownish in the first place? Published March 16, 2017
John McCain jumps the shark — slams Rand Paul as Putin pet
Sen. John McCain, the Republican from Arizona, apparently facing a brief lull in all the television interviews he's given lately to attack President Donald Trump, took to the Senate floor to deliver a scathing verbal assault on a fellow senator, another Republican, this one, Rand Paul from Kentucky.

Doctors warn: Donald Trump’s climate change can kill kids
Seriously, is there any place climate change cannot go? In the creative minds of the left, the latest call-out for government intervention for the environment comes from the medical community -- the world of doctors and physicians. Published March 16, 2017
Obamacare repeal: Lying Congress and the lying anti-repealers
Congress isn't going to repeal Obamacare. That whole Republican-driven mantra that's been making the media wave since 2010 -- the one that blasted Barack Obama as a socialist for signing government health care into law and that vowed a concerted fight for repeal? Bunk. Bull. Boldface lie. Published March 16, 2017
MSNBC: Thank you — first for Rachel Maddow and now, Joe Scarborough
MSNBC, fresh off a red face from Rachel Maddow TV revelations that were tantamount to reporting, "hey, President Donald Trump paid his taxes," apparently tried a bounce-back of sorts with another host, Joe Scarborough, who attempted to prove his mettle by taking on a Top Trump Dog, attorney Michael Cohen, via Twitter. And in social media lingo? LOL. Published March 15, 2017
Chelsea Clinton feeds fire of own political run
Please, God, make it stop. Eight years of Bill Clinton. Two White House tries of Hillary Clinton. Four more years of Hillary at State. And now their child, Chelsea, seems to be positioning herself for some kind of political run, too? No, no, no, no, no. Published March 15, 2017
Rachel Maddow, done in by her own ‘fake news’ mouth
Poor Rachel Maddow, the MSNBC host with the left-leaning most. She had a point -- she had a bombshell point. But sadly, she was done in by her own mouth. Published March 15, 2017
Donald Trump EPA gets ready to rumble
The White House announced it's opening a review into fuel efficiency standards set in place by the previous Barack Obama administration -- and you know what that means, don't you? Environmental groups are gearing to fight Published March 15, 2017
Nancy Pelosi’s Twitter feed: It’s still the repeal, stupid
Be careful what you ask for, as the saying goes. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi learned the hard way not to ask unfiltered, un-vetted constituents for their stories on Obamacare -- because what she heard back was hardly what she wanted. Published March 14, 2017
Sharia is not compatible in U.S. — and here’s why
Gotta love the Sharia. Our good friends in Saudi Arabia, the ones we dare not criticize for human rights issues because of strategic national security reasons, have launched a girls' council to help on the women's rights' public affairs front -- but unfortunately, it's Wahhabi style.

‘Toni the Tampon’ — speechless (almost)
Forget Dr. Seuss. The new Cat in the Hat on the block is "Toni the Tampon," a character devised by children's author Cass Clemmer to show kiddies 'round the nation that men, not just women, can menstruate. Published March 14, 2017
Republicans gone drunk on health care power
Come on, Republicans. Have you gone commie? How else to explain this, from CNN: "While Republicans are pushing to drop the requirement of Obamacare that compels Americans to get insurance, another move in a separate bill could compel employees to participate in workplace wellness programs that collect their and their families' health and genetic data."

Paul Ryan on audio: I’ll never ‘defend Donald Trump’
Wow -- this is like a "Girls Gone Wild" tape for the political world. House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, the Republican public servant from Wisconsin, was captured on audio during the campaign season saying he'd never defend Donald Trump. Not then. Not ever. Published March 14, 2017
Donald Trump wiretap brouhaha raises Patriot vs. Patriot Act fight
The media's been filled with busy bees lately, painting President Donald Trump with the crazy stick and demanding he produce proof of Barack Obama's wiretap of Trump Tower -- but what has happened to America, land of the free, country of the Constitution, that wiretapping one's own citizens has become so believable?

No dice, BLM, Michael Brown was not innocent
A new documentary -- and remember, that word's been used in recent years to prove Al Gore right on climate change and Michael Moore similarly correct, that capitalism is racist -- purports to prove Michael Brown, the 18-year-old black man whose story sparked a militant national movement called Hands Up, Don't Shoot, was innocent of the crime that led to his killing.
