One of the left's favorite tactics to control a society is to divide and conquer. For generations now, the liberal establishment has sought to pit blacks against whites, gays against straights and women against men. While there are differences between people, the concerted effort to exacerbate problems, increase them and then use them politically, continues on.
The Hollywood set started the new year thinking they had the perfect plan. After years of watching the ratings crater for their self-congratulatory award shows, they were probably sure this year would be different. The Golden Globes was supposed to be the reset.
For outside observers, the slow-motion train wreck of the "Women's March" movement is a fascinating turn of events. It began like all leftist disasters begin -- the hijacking of an organic effort. The Women's March, which still has a national and some local marches and rallies planned on Jan. 19, has become about identity politics, the antithesis of advancing women's rights, and the impact is finally being felt.
Despite the efforts of a miserable American media and liberal establishment to malign her, first lady Melania Trump continues on with work that endears her to the American public.
It's almost Christmas, a perfect season for California Democrats to pretend to be Santa Claus while reaching around for your wallet.
The right to not be destroyed because people don't like you -- the bedrock principle informing all civil rights values and successes -- is being made a mockery of by today's modern liberal inquisitors. Ask comedian and actor Kevin Hart and Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a shocking report last week revealing American life expectancy is down as a result of higher drug overdose deaths and suicide. For those watching, the advent of Obamacare, the Republican failure in reversing that debacle and the refusal of politicians to secure our southern border all have a hand in this monstrous development.
Singer and actor Barbra Streisand is following on the heels of her hero Hillary Clinton by condemning women who voted for President Trump as mindless sheeple.
In the time between the midterm elections and Thanksgiving, an important news story made some headlines but did not get the attention it deserves: John Hinckley Jr., attempted assassin of President Ronald Reagan, was granted more freedom by a federal judge.
Receiving some news coverage over the past few weeks, but not much, has been the revelation that four people have been referred by the Senate Judiciary Committee for criminal investigation regarding allegedly false statements relating to the Kavanaugh investigation.
Just when you think you've seen the ultimate meltdown of the Democratic Party, there's always more.
It's amazing how wrong the Democrats have always been, not just about the issues, but about our country and its people. Without the constant protection of a limited, compliant media, the malevolence of the organized left in this country has become starkly clear.
President Trump has been on another winning streak, and the Democrats are desperate for attention. Their problem? All the attention they get is also a win for the president, as it reminds us why he won in 2016 and why winning again in the midterm is so important.
'You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about," announced Hillary Clinton during an interview on CNN. This after the Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh's Senate confirmation hearings descended into mob action to destroy that man and his family.
For weeks, we've been subjected to the ever-increasing hysteria of the left. The confirmation process for Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh started with the Democrats shouting to the world that he was an evil, mutant offspring of Charles Manson and Pol Pot. Now, not so much.
As the fight to confirm Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court continues, it is imperative to remember exactly who is trying to destroy him and our system. The so-called establishment elite, left-wing groups who hate this country and our system, Hollywood hypocrites, Republican Never Trumpers and, of course, the Democratic Party having been taken over not just by ignorant socialists, but run by adults who know what they're doing is wrong and just don't care.
Watch out Trump supporters! Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden is on the trail and has downgraded you from "deplorables" to the "dregs of society." It's the September before an election, and like well-oiled machines, Democratic leadership crawls out of their basement, ready to instill fear, division and loathing into the American electorate. And they hate you even more than they did before.
Poor Bob Woodward. Poor us. His new book on the Trump White House, "Fear," was released this week, and its author has been making the rounds. But we've seen this movie before.
We have a genuine chicken-or-egg issue regarding antifa and the Democratic Party's true believers. On the one hand, we have the violent liberal group antifa, which exists to punish and hurt people for not believing as they do. On the other, we have the Democratic Party and "mainstream" liberals who exist to punish and destroy people and companies for not sharing their opinions.
The legacy media's ongoing obsession with President Trump as they work to destroy his presidency has a side benefit for those who want a return of the establishment status quo: There isn't much coverage of a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. The Washington Times headline said it all, "CDC: 72,000 died from drug overdoses in 2017, 42,000 from opioids."
