New year, new chance to reclaim ‘God-given’

It's 2019 and if this new year should bring anything, it's a national reclamation of what makes this country the absolute best in the world -- the notion that here, in America, individual rights are recognized as coming from God, not government. There's a resolution worth keeping, wouldn't you say?

Rashida Tlaib, Michigan’s newest Muslim lawmaker, sets Dem tone: ‘Impeach the mother—!’

Rep. Rashida Tlaib is Michigan's newest lawmaker on Capitol Hill, and because she's a Muslim woman raised in "southwest Detroit who didn't speak English," as she self-identified on Twitter, that makes her elevation to public office worthy of historic note. And then she crowed this, right after her swearing-in ceremony, about President Donald Trump: "Impeach the motherf--!"

Mitt Romney’s dance with disgrace

Mitt Romney used to be a man of high moral principles -- a gentleman among the coarse, a voice of reason in the political rough. Or so it seemed.

Biggest tech threat? The American public is unaware of the perils of A.I.

Truly, the biggest technology threat facing America is the unsuspecting, unknowing, unaware, perhaps too-trusting nature of the American people.

Media’s military MAGA hat-signing obsession fueled by jealousy, hatred

Members of the mainstream media have been harping on President Donald Trump for signing MAGA hats brought by military troops he visited in Iraq and Germany. As if he were doing something shamefully wrong? Truly, these critics have hit bottom-of-the-bucket for reasons to hate on Trump.

Martina Navratilova, the latest victim of transgenderism wrath

Openly lesbian tennis legend Martina Navratilova has been a hero of sorts to the LGBTQ crowd -- until now, that is, when she dared to tweet that males who simply "proclaim" themselves females to compete in female sporting events is unfair and wrong. Thing is: Navratilova only spoke the truth.

European Union guides members to strike ‘mankind,’ ‘manpower,’ ‘man-made’

The European Union has sent a guidebook to member states telling them that words like "mankind," "manpower" and "man-made" are no longer acceptable -- that rather they should sub in "humanity," "staff" and "artificial," and any number of other genderless options. Doesn't the EU have enough to worry about, with Brexit and borders and burning fires in the streets and all?

Michelle Obama topples Hillary Clinton in ‘most admired’ poll

For the first time in 17 years, Hillary Clinton is not the "Most Admired Woman in America," according to Gallup polling -- Michelle Obama is. Perhaps the bigger story here is that Hillary Clinton managed to hang on to "most admired" status for 17 years. Who are these people?

Toy gun buyback for pansies

Hempstead, New York, officials, citing concerns for the safety of children, warned parents off buying toy guns as gifts this Christmas -- and also hosted a toy gun buyback event. Welcome to the new USA, home of the pansies. Summer camps, for crying out loud, used to provide BB guns to kids to fire at mounted balloons.

Record retail sales rain on anti-Donald Trump parade

So the left has been up in arms for days now about the government shutdown, pitching wails over the Wall Street numbers and stock market showing and predicting nothing but gloom and doom and financial suffering because of President Donald Trump. Then along come retail sales and put all that blather in its place.

Claire McCaskill on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: ‘Rhetoric is cheap’

The outgoing senator from Missouri, Democrat Claire McCaskill, went on CNN and told the host and listening national audience she was "confused" why the House's newest soon-to-be-seated member, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, was "the thing," given her all talk, no action state of reality. Well, aren't we all.

When Christmas used to matter

Family Dollar stores, at least some, are open "the usual hours" on Christmas Day, Fox Business reported. Certain Dollar Tree locations are open, as well, Country Living reported. Just in case -- what, somebody needs that plastic tumbler for eggnog or those half-priced candy canes to hang on the soon-to-be-tossed tree? Sigh.

Bob Corker exiting Senate, ‘sour grapes’ award in hand

Sen. Bob Corker is leaving office at the end of this term -- and, given his ongoing Twitter spat with President Donald Trump, taking a well-earned "sour grapes" award with him.

Anthony Scaramucci’s Christmas story of humility, faith

Appearances can be deceiving. Case-in-point: The Anthony Scaramucci of ten-second television soundbite, of two-minute media interview, of five minute pundit appearance, is not the Anthony Scaramucci of in-person or on-the-phone. He's actually refreshing. And low key. And frank.

Donald Trump gets his $5 billion from House — and then some

President Donald Trump won his requested $5 billion for a border wall -- and then some -- in a House stopgap bill that passed on Republican-dominated votes, 217-185. It won't pass the Senate. But the point is this: At least Republicans were willing to fight for the wall. Senate GOP, are you watching? This is how you fight.

Amazon busted for ‘immoral, almost voyeuristic’ Alexa eavesdropping ‘error’

An Amazon user in Germany was just able to gain access to an estimated 1,700 voice recordings of an Alexa user -- because, get this, of a glitch at the Amazon company. That's some glitch. But the bigger glitch is these erroneously shared files gave eavesdroppers the access to enough snippets of private in-home conversations they were soon able to piece together the Alexa user's identity.

Afghanistan ‘boy play culture’ seeps to America

Eleven-year-old boys don't have drag hobbies. They have parents who don't properly protect and who toss what's supposed to be their prized priorities -- their children -- to the predatory clutches of child molesters. And when the media applauds such sickness, the path of America's culture leads right to the door of Afghanistan, where "boy play" is accepted.

Senate sidesteps border, puts squeeze on Donald Trump

The Republican-led Senate, no doubt concerned with the politics of a government shutdown and the media-generated storm that would come, sent a stopgap funding measure to the House absent President Donald Trump's requested $5 billion for a border wall. That's called: Putting the squeeze on Trump.
