Dangerous, troubling ‘Anonymous’ times for America
It's not overstating to say the Democrats have been trying to impeach President Donald Trump since Day One of his White House term -- since before Day One even, when his inauguration was just stepping into planning mode. But there's a growing, troubling anti-Trump hatchet trend in town and it's called Anonymous. Published November 9, 2019
Kanye West for president? Don’t laugh
Kanye West, Yeezy to friends and fans alike, made a surprise appearance at Fast Company's 2019 Innovation Festival and in between talking with his clothing designer Steven Smith, and chatting up his latest "Jesus Is King" album, made this quick remark: And oh yes, I'll be running for president in 2024.

Whistleblower lies and the anti-Trumpers who push them
There's a lot of talk going around about the so-called illegalities of releasing the whistleblower's name. But sift through the shrill; step away from expressions of hate. Law is: It's not against the law to out this whistleblower. It's only against the law for the inspector general to out this whistleblower. Published November 7, 2019
Bernie Sanders nods at Elizabeth Warren as possible ‘running mate’
Sen. Bernie Sanders, on the campaign trail but taking a time out for a "Deconstructed" podcast interview with host Mehdi Hassan, said he'd indeed consider Sen. Elizabeth Warren as a "running mate" if he wins the Democratic Party's nomination. (Which he won't. Thank God. But just in case he does.) What a pairing of loons that would be.

Eric Holder sees turn of Va. from red to blue as finally ‘fair’
Eric Holder, former -- disgraced -- attorney general of the United States under Barack Obama's administration, weighed in on the total Democrat takeover of Virginia's state government during recent elections with this brief tweet: Good, he said, now things are finally "fair." Really? 'Cause "fair" is defined as one-sided? Published November 7, 2019
Sam Sorbo on America’s education: ‘This is a crisis’
Actress, writer, podcaster and mom Sam Sorbo said America's public school system is in shambles, teaching what it's not supposed to teach, indoctrinating when it should be educating, and raising the next generation in ways it decidedly should not go -- and voila, no wonder socialism and secularism are spreading throughout the country.

HuffPost post: Save the planet — skip Thanksgiving
The Huffington Post, in what's probably going to go down as the stupidest idea in American history, put out a post calling for the outright skipping of some serious Thanksgiving traditions -- like travel, like turkey -- as a means, get this, of saving the planet from environmental damage.

Virginians, start your gun-buying engines
Democrats, in Tuesday elections, seized control of both sides of the General Assembly, handing the left a trifecta of power -- governor's office, Senate and House -- that is going to usher in a new wave of, wait for it, wait for it, socialist-styled politics come 2020. And that means heads-up, gun owners. Published November 6, 2019
Word police at it again: It’s not ‘single’ — it’s ‘self-partnered’
Emma Watson, best known for her long-running Hollywood "Harry Potter" gig as Hermione Granger, is 29 and single. Err, make that "self-partnered." Apparently, the word "single" is too negative. Published November 5, 2019
Popeyes chicken sandwich prompts stabbing
A 28-year-old man was stabbed to death while standing in line for a Popeyes' chicken sandwich in Maryland. Is this really what we've become -- a nation that places such low value on human life that even a chicken sandwich can cause a killing? Published November 5, 2019
LGBTQ troubles in Pasco County, Florida
The LGBTQ agenda is spreading like a cancer throughout America's public school systems. Standing silent means abandoning the schools -- abandoning America's rising generations -- to the insane. Published November 5, 2019
Ronald Reagan’s spirit, 39 years later, still soars free
It was almost 40 years ago, on Nov. 4, 1980, when Republican Ronald Reagan defeated Democratic incumbent Jimmy Carter at the presidential ballot box, ushering in what some historians have since referred to as the "Reagan Era." My, the times have changed. Yet the spirit of Reagan still soars throughout the land. Published November 4, 2019
Bernie Sanders — choke, cough, gasp — denies he’s ‘far left’
Sen. Bernie Sanders, of democratic socialist self-identifying fame, said to a crowd in Iowa over the weekend that he's not "far left," that his ideas are not "far left," and that he's really only giving the people what they want. He said it with a straight face. And you thought miracles couldn't happen. Published November 4, 2019
Two sensible Democrats in a field of leftist loony losers
The House, under Nancy Pelosi's leadership, with progressives' and far leftists' pressings and to Adam Schiff's glee, just passed a resolution that lays out the rules for the impeachment process against President Donald Trump. But it was a vote that came minus two Democrats. Dub them The Last Of The Sensible Democrats. Published November 2, 2019
October jobs’ numbers speak volumes on impeachment
America's economy saw the addition of 128,000 jobs this past October, a figure that surpassed expectations of 75,000. And unemployment came in at 3.6%. And all the Democrats went -- oh crap. This is why impeach, impeach, impeach is such a must-be, must-have, must-do for the left. Published November 1, 2019
Rush Limbaugh’s hilarious take on ‘Pajama Boy’ whistleblower
Real Clear Investigations has guessed the whistleblower at the heart of the Democrats' impeachment hopes is Eric Ciaramella -- and if it is, make way for the hoot. Rush Limbaugh, syndicated talk show host, calls him "Pajama Boy." Published November 1, 2019
Big Pharma and D.C., joined at the lobbying hip
Ask people which special interest drops the most lobby money into D.C. and most would guess attorneys or environmentalists, or perhaps even unions. But it's none of the above. It's actually Big Pharma. And that explains a lot -- namely, why America has become a nation of pill poppers. Published October 29, 2019
Halloween’s too political, not as fun
Halloween used to be all about the free candy -- and staying out late, with flashlights -- and wearing cool stuff that could scare the neighborhood kids and disgust the neighborhood parents. Now? It's too political. It's too controversial. All the fun's being killed by the politically correct pinheads. Published October 29, 2019
Millennials: 7-in-10 say socialism, not capitalism
Seventy percent of polled millennials say they'd vote for a socialist politician, YouGov/Victims of Communism reported. And 50 percent see capitalism in a negative light. Yay, American public schools. What a testament to failure you've become. Published October 28, 2019
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the left’s beloved ‘religious scholar’
And in what will go down in American history as the most ridiculously ridiculous news headline, The Washington Post reported the death of ISIS terror leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as the end of an "austere religious scholar." Published October 28, 2019
