Medicare for All terrible, deceptive and un-American

America was founded on principles of limited government and individual freedom, where rights come from God, not government. Then came the left's message that health care is a right, a basic human right, and slash went the Constitution. Medicare for All, as Sen. Bernie Sanders is pushing, is about as un-American as policy can come.

Julian Assange’s U.S. charges a ‘say what?’ moment

Let's hold the phone on the conviction and sentencing of Julian Assange for a moment. Exactly what did Assange do that, say, journalists protected by credentials from big corporate media entities don't commonly do during the course of pulling threads of information from their sources?

Texas Republican’s crazy anti-abortion bill

A Texas Republican has re-introduced a bill that would criminalize and ban abortion and classify it as homicide, opening doors for women who terminate their pregnancies to face imprisonment and even sentences of death. And their little abortion doctors, too. Wow. There's pro-life. And then there's this: Crazy pro-life.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s costly Amazon misstep

Freshman lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was slammed by the majority of voters in her district who told pollsters she was wrong for driving away Amazon and its promised 25,000 highly paid job openings. Such is the thinking of a socialist: On paper, hitting hard at Big Business can seem noble. But the people still have to eat.

Lara Logan nabs border gig at Sinclair — and all the left go, Oh no!

Former CBS correspondent Lara Logan nabbed a broadcast gig with Sinclair to go to the border and report the goings-on. Prepare for the left to go into hyper-drive. Logan is hardly the far-right ideologue the left would like to paint. She's going to be a tough one for Democrats to dismiss.

Congressional members behaving badly

Rep. Maxine Waters climbed atop the high horse alongside her chairwoman's seat in the House Financial Services Committee hearing room to thunder at Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and tell him, basically anyway, to sit down, you're not dismissed. I am zee law!

Democrats could learn a thing from Bernie Sanders

Sen. Bernie Sanders is planning to participate in a town hall on Fox News, and for that, his far leftist cronies in the far leftist media are wrinkling noses, wondering why. But here's where the socialist-minded presidential hopeful deserves some credit: He's got guts to enter what others in his base perceive as a hostile environment.

Iran, on cue, resumes ‘Death to America’

Iran, the nation that former President Barack Obama told us to trust, has been busily broadcasting its trademark "Death to America" chant as payback for President Donald Trump's designation of the Revolutionary Guard as a foreign terrorist organization. And now the Obama copycats are nibbling nervously at their nails. But why?

Democrats and their odd 12-year doomsday clock

Rep. Barbara Lee, in a recent Twitter post, said her fellow House mate, the freshman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, was quite right: The world has only 12 years to properly address the environment or else face total devastation. Curious. Shouldn't it be 11 years and something-something by now?

Beto O’Rourke thinks Benjamin Netanyahu is ‘racist’

Do Democrats even know what racism is any more? They've slung the term around so much it seems as if they've forgotten its real definition.

Quitting your job? Shh — technology may tattle

IBM has developed artificial intelligence that can predict, with a reported 95 percent accuracy, when employees are just about to quit their jobs. Super snoopy surveillance? Or smart technology that can actually benefit both business and employee? The jury's still out. It's all in the ultimate application.

Joe Biden’s ‘hug’ joke poor taste, poor timing, poor all around

Joe Biden took the stage of the Int'l Brotherhood of Electrical Workers event in the nation's capital, flashed his signature folksy, regular guy smile, and joked, "I just want you to know I had permission to hug Lonnie." Lonnie, being IBEW Int'l's male president, Lonnie Stephenson. Poor timing. Poor taste. Just plain poor all around.

Google shutters A.I. ethics board after LGBTQs attack conservatives

Google dissolved and disbanded its artificial intelligence ethics advisory board, just a week or so after its creation. Why? In brief: Heritage Foundation. In brief, the LGBTQ movement couldn't stand the thought of a conservative on the council, so the LGBTQ movement cried and demanded the conservative voice be removed.

Make way for the reparations

House legislators have brought forward a bill to form a new commission tasked with looking at the feasibility of paying black Americans for slavery -- for actually putting to law a reparations measure. You always know it's campaign time when Democrats start to turn oh-so-concerned eyes toward their black constituency again.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez bully-tweets Donald Trump on taxes

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez bragged in a recent tweet that Congress wasn't requesting, but rather demanding with expectant air the president to release his tax returns. But let's see what the Constitution says about this.

Joe Biden’s defenders are wrong

Joe Biden has a lot of friends who've been busily explaining away his too touchy-feely behaviors lately as little misunderstandings -- that the former vice president is simply affectionate, more like a favorite family "uncle" of the effervescent variety than creepy or predatory. These defenders are wrong. Do they not have eyes to see?

California hospital’s crazy secret filming of women giving birth

A hospital in La Mesa, California, said it wanted to catch a drug thief in the act of stealing, and that's why it put cameras in delivery rooms that secretly filmed dozens of women as they gave birth -- as they were in the throes of their most vulnerable and exposed moments of life. What a tragic violation of privacies.

Lara Logan, ex-CBSer, slams Media Matters for ‘propaganda’

Lara Logan, former CBS correspondent, took to Fox & Friends to say that Media Matters is the "most powerful propaganda organization in this country." This is the same Logan who just courageously spoke publicly and critically about the left-leaning bias of the mainstream media. Hat tip, and hat tip once again.

Freedom, in the hands of an algorithm

The European Court of Human Rights, in 2016, found that artificial intelligence could predict the outcomes of cases heard by human judges with a 79 percent accuracy rating. Great. But perhaps the better lead would be this: A.I. used in the European Court of Human Rights failed to accurately predict outcomes in 21 percent of the cases.

Thomas Jefferson statue fight about seizing government

Hofstra University students have called for campus authorities to cart off a statue of Thomas Jefferson, saying the Founding Father was a slaveowner and therefore racist and therefore ought not be honored in the public sphere. Guess the Declaration of Independence he wrote ought to go then, too -- yes?
