Roy Moore — for the good of conservatism, it’s time to go

America affords each and every citizen the right of due process, the presumption of innocence over guilt, the constitutional right to stand before one's accusers and face the courtroom music. And that includes Roy Moore. But for the good of the Republican Party -- for the good of the conservative cause -- it's time he stepped aside and let another fill his shoes. He simply can't be effective any longer.

Nikki Haley quite rightly rocks U.N. boat on Venezuela

Human rights matter -- that's the message a resolute U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley just sent the Security Council's way, reminding that Venezuela, land of the socialists, shouldn't be allowed to skate on civil abuses. This is why Haley rocks. She's unafraid to take the high ground on behalf of America, even when world players disapprove.

Roy Moore? How about Joe Biden

If Roy Moore has a seedy past when it comes to sexual improprieties with underage and young girls -- at least, allegedly -- and should therefore drop his aspirations for higher political office, then so, too, should Joe Biden.

Mark Levin to Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan: ‘Resign’

Conservative radio star Mark Levin sent a blunt rebuke Republican leadership's way, calling on Sen. Mitch McConnell and Rep. Paul Ryan to step away from their offices and resign. It's not going to happen, of course. But plenty in conservative camps would back that call nevertheless.

Congressional talks on sex harassment boil with hypocrisy

Come on, now. A House committee on Capitol Hill is holding a hearing on sexual harassment, to discern what policies, going forward, ought to be implemented to stop sexual harassment? And what's that you say, Lassie -- the Senate side of things just passed a resolution that makes clear members, staff and even interns have to attend training on how to steer clear of sexual harassment?

Church of England tells schools to let kids experiment with genders

The Church of England sent a somewhat shocking message to schools around the country, telling administrators they ought to let students try out different genders. The new suggested anti-bully policy? Let the boys be girls, if they want; the girls, be boys.

Jeff Flake: I’ll back a Democrat over Roy Moore

Sen. Jeff Flake, the retiring Arizonan Republican -- the one who recently penned a book that contained sharp criticisms of President Donald Trump and the direction this commander-in-chief was taking the GOP -- said he'd back a Democrat before voting for Roy Moore. Sigh.

Republican ‘exodus’ nothing but an anti-Donald Trump myth

There's a lot of media talk lately about all the Republicans who are leaving office, refusing to seek re-election, resigning for some new venture or another -- and the talk of the town is that these pols are leaving in some sort of mixture of disgust, horror and sadness at the direction the party's taking, post-President Donald Trump. But this is a bit of faked news.

Matt Drudge lets loose on The Washington Post

Matt Drudge of Drudge Report fame unleashed on The Washington Post on Twitter, calling out the media outlet for a headline and story that seemed to suggest the popular site was pro-Russia. This is a well-deserved smack-down of The Post.

Roger Goodell’s ‘unseemly,’ ‘offensive’ salary quest

Roger Goodell, the much-beleaguered NFL commissioner -- the one who will probably go down as Most Tone Deaf football league chief in history, at least when it comes to respecting fans' wishes -- has reportedly asked for a $49.5 million annual salary for life in his recent contract negotiations. Oh, and a private jet, too. Oh, and lifetime health benefits for his family.

Roy Moore to sue The Washington Post

Roy Moore, the Republican's nominee in the Alabama fight for the U.S. Senate seat, announced he's going to sue The Washington Post for the series of stories that implicate him in sexual dalliances with underage girls 40 years ago. He said this as political players in his own party were folding like cheap card tables to get him to quit.

The power of charity over government

TJX Companies, Inc., the corporate owners of Marshalls, T.J. Maxx and HomeGoods, announced just recently that even though its shops' doors have been closed for more than six weeks in hurricane-plagued Puerto Rico, all its employees will still be paid. This is how America rolls.

Mitt Romney blasts Roy Moore as ‘unfit for office’

Former Massachusetts governor and failed president candidate Mitt Romney took opportunity to weigh in on the whole Roy Moore matter -- the one that finds him ensnarled in a web of allegations of sexual improprieties with underage and young girls -- and call for the former Alabama judge to immediately "step aside" and abandon his Senate aspirations. Maybe. But what's Romney's angle on weighing in?

Illegals finding unlawful sanctuary in America’s churches

Churches -- at least some of them -- have become an illegal's best friend. And it's hardly biblical; it's hardly heavenly or humanly lawful.

Robert Manson, a supervisor in the FBI's counterterrorism division, got drunk -- allegedly -- during a party with exotic dancers, better known as strippers, at a hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina, went to bed, woke up and found his service weapon missing. This isn't just embarrassing. It's downright dangerous to innocent Americans.

Obama Foundation’s newest director a Paradise Papers billionaire

One of the Obama Foundation's newest members of its board of directors is none other than Penny Pritzker, the Commerce Department secretary under the Barack Obama administration and the finance chair of Obama's 2008 campaign -- and oh yes, this too, a name that just surfaced in the Paradise Papers as tied to offshore tax havens. Well, would you look at that. One of anti-fat cat Obama's own foundation directors is an offshore tax haven sheltering fat catter.

Chicago, land of gun control, hits homicide highs — and blames Trump

Five-hundred-and-ninety-three -- that's the number of homicides Chicago has seen this year so far. Oh, apologies. That's the number of homicides the gun controlling city of Chicago has seen this year so far.
