Sept. 11 story of faith and hope

P.J. Schrantz, an Army veteran and former firefighter who worked alongside the heroes of Sept. 11 to rescue those who could be rescued and deliver from wreckage the bodies of those who could not, described his darkest hour as one of sitting in a hotel room, beer in hand, cocaine stash in front, gun to head, curse of God on lips.

Barack Obama, the GOP thanks you

Barack Obama's return to national television may have jarred -- particularly the channel surfing crowd, but also the patriotic types who spent the eight years of the previous administration crossing off "Days Left" on their calendars. But in the end, his broadcast speech was a good thing -- for Republicans.

PLO-D.C. to close, as Trump ratchets pressure on Palestinians for peace

Here's a headline that would never be seen in the prior Barack Obama administration days: White House to shutter Palestinian Liberation Organization office in Washington, D.C. But new administration; new day. President Donald Trump is not so willing as the prior White House to place the Palestinian people in the same moral equivalency box as the Israelis.

Google’s leftist gaggle: 90 percent of employee donations go to fund Democrats

Roughly 90 percent of political donations made by Alphabet employees -- those who work for Google, YouTube, Verily, and the handful of other companies owned by the tech giant -- have gone, between the years 2004 and 2018, to Democratic pockets. Well, well, well, Houston we have a problem. Just in case there's any doubt the tech giant leans left -- here's the proof, in numbers.

Christians, beware the cult of transhumanism

Followers of Christ, with growing frequency -- with alarming frequency, perhaps -- are jumping aboard an artificial intelligence bandwagon and trying to merge today's technology with yesterday's godly creations and in the end, come up with a race of people who are, in the words of the Christian Transhumanist Association, "more human." Eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil much?

Democrats, congratulations: 212 arrested at Brett Kavanaugh hearings

In three days, Capitol Hill police have arrested more than 200 protesters at the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. Democrats, congratulations are in order. Who else but a leftist could turn such a somber, historic and esteemed occasion as a Supreme Court nominee's hearing into a vaudeville circus act, in so short a time span?

New York Times’ scabies must be reeling with glee

The anonymous hit job masked as a "service to our readers" -- otherwise known as the latest New York Times editorial -- is nothing but the work of a White House "saboteur," screamed Drudge Report's top headline in the aftermath of the widely reported op-ed that claims insiders are working within the White House to control, i.e., take down, President Donald Trump, Good word; fitting word.

Levi Strauss goes gun control: Have corporations gone mad?

Levi Strauss, the famous jeans maker and clothing manufacturer, has jumped into the gun control bed with none other than the king of anti-Second Amendment himself, Michael Bloomberg. Do corporations these days have a death wish? Seriously, are they even in business to make money any more?

Facebook, Twitter go to Senate for yet another useless grilling

With all eyes turned toward Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court hearing, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey are nonetheless hitting Capitol Hill to face a grilling from senators over conservative censorship. But don't look for any resolution. These hearings make for good media. That's about all.

Brett Kavanaugh’s coming, Democrats or no Democrats

Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh's Senate hearings for the Supreme Court fitness are scheduled for this week and thanks to the end of the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees, he'll be confirmed, sooner or later. He only needs a majority. Say hello to a solidly conservative leaning high court for the foreseeable future.

‘First Man’ a disgrace to patriotic Americans

A biographical film about Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk the moon -- and an American, mind you -- will notably, face-slappingly, leave out the triumphant moment the U.S. flag was planted on lunar soil.

A.I.’s dark and dirty hacking truths

The headline from RiskandInsurance.com says it all: "Machine Learning Could Make Hackers Practically Unstoppable: Are You Ready?" Good question. Serious question. And one which, no doubt, has registered as barely a blip on the collective minds of busy, technologically driven Americans.

U.S. Marine Corps rocked by cheating scandal

Six Marine Corps officers wearing second lieutenant ranks have been accused of cheating during a nighttime land navigation course at Quantico, Virginia. It's a sad day when America's most-esteemed fighting force faces dings for something so sullied. America loves its Marines -- but the stain of cheating is a tough one to scrub.

Twitter’s shocking shrug on death message to Dana Loesch’s kids

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey swears by his mother's right hand that his social media empire does not lean left when it comes to purposely blocking conservatives but letting flow unhindered the thoughts of liberals. Yet a tweet that spoke in reverent tones of the need to murder the children of Dana Loesch, of the NRA, was A-OK to stay.

A female sociology professor at Northeastern University who penned a piece for The Washington Post in June that asked, "Why Can't We Hate Men?" and then went on to list the logical ways "we," in fact, both could and should, has been slapped with a sex discrimination complaint by a bunch of men. My, how the tables do turn.
