Boston’s ‘Straight Pride Parade’ critics have no cause to cry

Boston authorities gave the thumbs-up to an event application to hold a "Straight Pride Parade" in the city, sparking tensions among the LGBTQ community and prompting critics to call out the organizers as homophobic. Yet another example of the left's famous tolerance for all, right?

Democrats and their depressingly dreary visions of Big Government

There were few surprises on the second night of the Democratic Party's first televised presidential debates -- and that's what's so sad. It was all about the give-away. What a depressing time to be an American.

Bernie Sanders, out of the gate, slams Donald Trump as ‘pathological liar’

Five minutes into part two of the Democratic Party's presidential debates, and already the attacks on President Donald Trump were a'comin'. Kudos for Sen. Bernie Sanders, called to defend his socialism, for striking first and hard. He had to; his socialist brand can't withstand scrutiny, so his only choice is to distract with attack.

Cory Booker ‘splains funny debate face

Sen. Cory Booker, reacting to widespread laughter at the facial expression he wore while fellow Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke broke into Spanish mid-debate, said he was smiling 'cause he was strategizing.

Facebook ‘stalking’ never quits — and it’s about to get worse

Facebook insists it doesn't listen on private conversations, and then use the content of those discussions to generate targeted advertisements to the user. But here's the thing: It doesn't have to. Facebook has so many other ways of tracking, recording, surveilling, etc., that it doesn't need ears.

Thomas Homan, former ICE chief, dings Democrats for border deceits

Thomas Homan, President Donald Trump's pick for "border czar," weighed in on the Democrats' first presidential debate with harsh words that accused the left of selling a deceitful message about the cages used to house children at the border to open America to all crossers -- legal, illegal, whatever. And he's right.

Democrats’ glaring blind spot

The Democratic Party's own internal polling shows that likely voters are sick and tired of the impeach-at-all-costs talk and would rather hear what their legislative leaders are doing on, say, health care. The fact that Democrats need a poll shows just how blinded by partisanship and self-interest their party has become.

Democrats, debating, don’t disappoint: They’re still loons

Democrats and their ideas haven't changed much over the months of campaigning. Kudos for the consistency. Democrats, after all these months, still show as the party of loons.

Beto O’Rourke, Democrats break into Spanish during debate

Beto O'Rourke, the guy who once had an abundance of media love and Democrat adoration, pretty much put a stop to his presidential aspirations during the opening moments of his party's first televised debate when he suddenly, inexplicably, broke into Spanish while answering a question from NBC host Savannah Guthrie. Even Cory Booker, down two podium to O'Rourke's right, was like, what the freak, man?

‘Gender X’ options gain steam in states

Hawaii is poised to become the ninth state to offer "Gender X" as an option on driver license applications. And the chaos continues to spread.

China’s chilling pre-crime prison indoctrination system

BBC News, equipped with cameras, went inside one of China's village reeducation camps -- and emerged not just with footage that would make a freedom-loving American gasp and gag, but also with prescient proof of why runaway Big Tech is bad for the Constitution. It's called jail first, ask questions later.

Holocaust Museum’s subtle slap at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

The United States Holocaust Museum issued a statement making clear that comparisons of Nazi concentration camps with other matters of historical record or modern-day news are inappropriate. And though museum officials didn't name Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, they might as well have.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s missed opportunity to shine

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had an opportunity win some hearts and minds and political points, all the while overturning the perception she has a problem with facts and history and Jews -- and she turned her socialist nose high into the air and said thanks, but no thanks.

Jack Keane, retired general, salutes Donald Trump’s ‘strategic’ Iran offense

Retired military Gen. Jack Keane said on national television that President Donald Trump is to be commended for his past few days of foreign policy regarding Iran -- specifically, for heading up "the first administration in 39 years to be on the strategic offensive with the Iranians." That's quite a feat.

Joe Scarborough’s ludicrous attempt to school ‘lying’ Mike Pence on Christianity

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough ripped into Mike Pence during a recent televised rant, calling out the vice president as a liar, a fake Christian and a guy who simply sits idly by and smiles as little kids get tortured. There's just too much to unwind there to get it all in one sentence. But let's start with "L" for Ludicrous.

America’s great divide: ‘Peace Cross’ versus Satanic Temple

Two headlines of major interest rocked national news at very nearly the same time this week -- the first, from CNN, "Supreme Court rules 'peace cross' in Maryland can remain," and the second, from the Associated Press, "Alaska government meeting opens with 'Hail Satan' prayer." The battle lines just don't get clearer than that.

Elizabeth Warren sprinkles some Disney magic: Yes, let’s legalize sex for money

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who's been gaining in polls for the Democratic ticket to the White House, has just announced her latest political pandering -- er, policy view -- and it's one goes like this: Prostitution should perhaps be legal. It's Disney time, girls. Let the magic unfold.

Joe Biden’s silly ‘James Bond-style’ gun control fantasy

Joe Biden has a dream. He wants "James Bond-style" smart gun controls to protect and save America from all kinds of crime. Well, that's just great. The Democrats' best hope for the presidency -- according to polls, anyway -- wants to use fictional characters exalted on Hollywood's big screens to hone our nation's Second Amendment.
