Travis County, Texas — land of the loved illegal
The Department of Homeland Security is playing the shaming game, and releasing name of jails in local communities that won't get in lawful line and honor detainer requests from the federal authorities.

Chuck Schumer, tool of the left, skews truth to hit at Trump
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, never one to shy from a chance to showcase the Republicans as bad for the people, has now stepped forward to use the president's previous wiretapping claims and Monday's hearings on Capitol Hill about said wiretapping to demand Donald Trump admit he was wrong -- right now, to the American people and to Barack Obama. What a bloviating showboat. Published March 20, 2017
Schiff’s disingenuous try at painting Trump as dangerous
For those who didn't have time to tune in to the House Intelligence Committee's hearing for the FBI's James Comey and the NSA's Michael Rogers, here's a hint of what you've missed: a Democratic take-down attempt of President Donald Trump.

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

No, Julie Andrews, cutting ‘the arts’ does not kill Bert and Ernie

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

Congress isn't going to repeal Obamacare.
