Sharia’s incompatibility with America on display

Sharia law, taken from the Muslim holy book of the Koran as well as from the Hadith -- traditions and sayings handed down from Muhammad that have become enshrined in Islam as law -- is incompatible with the West, with the Constitution and with America.

James Comey outs New York Times for fake news

James Comey called a widely cited story from the New York Times that painted President Donald Trump in a negative light as fake news -- without actually calling it fake news.

Bernie Sanders imposes religious test for Trump budget pick

Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont who identifies politically as a socialist, tore into President Donald Trump's very Christian deputy budget director nominee Russell Vought for calling Islam, back in 2016, a "deficient theology."

David Brock’s brag of successful ‘resistance’ a bit misplaced

David Brock, leftists extraordinaire and one of Hillary Clinton's biggest fans, said the left's summer of "resistance" against all-things-President Donald Trump, all-things-Republican, is moving along with great success. Except the example he cited actually shows how the "resistance" movement is floundering and failing.

Eric Holder slammed for ‘Fast and Furious’ obstruction

The House Oversight Committee let loose with a scathing assessment of Eric Holder in a recent report, accusing the Barack Obama-era attorney general of outright misleading Congress on its investigation of the "Fast and Furious" gun-running scandal.

Eric Trump — rightly — slams vicious left as ‘not even people’

Eric Trump, following in his father's footsteps, issued some blunt talk about the very vicious left and its very vicious hatred -- and now, predictably enough, his comments are being a bit skewed, no doubt, in order to drum up some of that vicious leftist hatred to generate even more anti-Trump headlines. Sigh. It's such a cycle of hatred we live in right now in America. Eric Trump is right.

Iran under siege as ISIS stages Ramadan terror

ISIS claimed responsibility for a couple of terror attacks on the symbolic sites on Tehran's parliament and at the tomb of Ayatollah Khomeini. It's Ramadan, radical Islam style, once again.

Joe Scarborough makes a deranged case for Donald Trump to go

Joe Scarborough just can't help himself when it comes to criticizing President Donald Trump. On his most recent show, the former Republican congressman suggested Trump was deranged, and that Congress ought to consider removing him -- an apparent hat tip to the long-running Democratic Party's call to impeach.

Bill Maher, the N-word and the hypocrisy of left

If Bill Maher were Tim Allen, he'd be toast right now. Why? Maher, who's a leftist, dropped the N-word on a recent HBO broadcast, sparked a firestorm, but apologized and all's right with the world. Had a conservative comedian like Allen done the same, the forgiveness wouldn't be so rapid in coming.

U.S. rates among cleanest on UN’s own pollution list

Well, well, well, isn't this a bit embarrassing for the climate change crowd. The United States, it seems, isn't the big bad polluter of the world the leftists in the environmental movement would have believed. Nope -- not even close.

2nd Amendment saves, as Oklahoman shoots babies’ would-be killer

Yes, indeed, the Second Amendment does save. The latest instance of a gun owner saving a potential victim from a would-be crime comes by way Oklahoma, where a Poteau resident, acting quickly, shot and killed a neighbor who was trying to drown his twin, 3-month-old babies in a bathtub.

Reza Aslan, CNN’s go-to religious guy, tweets Trump’s ‘s—t’

This is religion, lefty style. CNN host Reza Aslan, the left's go-to guy for punditry on all-all-things religious, spiritual and Jesus in nature, took to Twitter to denounce President Donald Trump's reaction to the London terror bombings by calling the White House chief a -- wait for it, wait for it -- a "piece of s--t."

Portland protests show utter hatred of left

A rally in Portland, Oregon, aimed at showing support for President Donald Trump -- and for free speech -- turned nasty and violent after the anti-crowd turned out in full force, carting weapons, bent on creating chaos. And let the media spin begin. The Washington Post kicked it off this way, with a blaring headline that read: "Right-wing free speech rally draws massive counterprotests in Portland."
