Three ways the soulless left is winning

America was founded on the idea that rights come from God, not government. In order to keep this idea in place -- in order to keep America the dream of the free -- Americans must fight for the right to keep God in the public arena. It's the only way to save America from the socialists, and worse.

Pete Buttigieg’s senseless attack on Fox News shows fear, elitism

Pete Buttigieg went on the attack against Fox News and Fox News news hosts and Fox News television pundits and commentators -- while on Fox News. How gauche. Classless. Democratic, even. But this is just the cries of a left that pines for the days of full media control -- of three big news networks, and that's it.

"Some people did something" was how Rep. Ilhan Omar, Minnesota Democrat, described the 9/11 attacks. Her critics were dismissed with the "Islamophobic" label. (Associated Press/File)

Ilhan Omar’s stuff and nonsense ‘abolish ICE’ talk

Rep. Ilhan Omar called on America to abolish ICE, to quit all deportations -- to basically open U.S. borders wide to all who would cross, friend or enemy, apparently. How did this woman manage to work through her oath of office without giggling?

Greed will sink America

President Donald Trump is pushing to balance out the unfair trade deals, particularly with China, that have harmed America for years -- and businesses and farmers and politicians are biting nails, predicting massively higher prices on consumers. But their short-term selfish way of thinking has to stop.

Alabama abortion fight shines light on wrongful Roe v. Wade

Alabama has become ground zero in the fight over abortion because lawmakers just voted on restrictions that make the procedure nearly impossible to perform, and the left, as the left is wont to do, is going nuts. But the fact is, the morphing of abortion from an act of outlaw to lawful was based on flimsy judicial reasoning in the first place.

Elizabeth Warren’s anti-Fox sneer a campaign misstep

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who's running for president of the United States, turned up her nose and turned down a Fox News town hall, calling out the cable giant as a "hate-for-profit" racket. This is a big political misstep.

Cage the rage, punch a robot

Researchers say they've come up with a way to help those with anger management issues using the latest in technology -- robots trained to take a punch. It's probably too soon to call for a end to barroom brawls, broken furniture and smashed phones. But maybe these 'bots can help some angry birds better cope.

James Comey just accused Donald Trump of a thought crime

Former FBI director James Comey, in a recent CNN town hall, told host Anderson Cooper that yes indeed, based on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's redacted Russia collusion report, "it sure looks like" President Donald Trump had "criminal intent" to commit obstruction. In other words, Comey is accusing the president of a thought crime.

CNN’s cringe-worthy veer into anti-gun propaganda

There's news, there's fake news, there's not news (also called the non-story), and now, courtesy one recent CNN clip with anchor Brooke Baldwin about the recent school shooting in Colorado, there's blatant propaganda masked as primetime news. Come on, CNN. Quit insulting the intelligence of viewers.

Trump calls it: ‘SleepyCreepy Joe’ will beat ‘Crazy Bernie’

President Donald Trump tweeted, "Looks to me like it's going to be SleepyCreepy Joe over Crazy Bernie," President Donald Trump tweeted Friday. "Everyone else is fading fast!" True. Polls show it's true. But guess what: Neither will be Trump in the general election.

Kendrick Ray Castillo, Highlands Ranch hero, worthy of Congressional Gold Medal

Eighteen-year-old Kendrick Ray Castillo was at his STEM School Highlands Ranch desk, analyzing comedy in English lit class, when a guy walked in and pulled a gun. Castillo, rather than ducking, charged. He represents not just the best of America, but the best in humanity. And now Congress needs to honor him.

David Horowitz blasts ‘stupid’ Twitter censors for second suspension

David Horowitz was blocked for the second time by Twitter censors, just a day after his first suspension was overturned and explained away as a "mistake." And, as he rightly blasted in an interview with Breitbart -- these corporate censors are becoming a true "threat to democracy."

Where Republicans get it wrong

Free trade runs both ways. So should slap-happy tariffing. Other countries impose prohibitively massive tariffs on America's exports. America should do the same. It's the America First way. But Republicans with too-close relationships with Big Business are sending out the fear messages. This is where the GOP gets it wrong.

Baltimore white anchor unfairly fired for dubious ‘racist’ remarks

A Baltimore news anchor, Mary Bubala, was just fired after asking an interview guest, on live WJZ-TV, if it were time for the city to see "a different kind of leadership," given the beleaguered status of its last three mayors. Bubala's crime? She mentioned the last three mayors were female and black.

Rick Scott, 1 — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, just go home

The Twitter spat of Sen. Rick Scott and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez escalated over the last 24 hours and honestly, if scorecards are being kept -- the socialist from New York just needs to go home. It's not even Scott, 1, Ocasio-Cortez zero. It's not even that close.
