Richard Spencer’s rhetoric harms, not helps, Robert E. Lee

Revising history, tearing down history and carting away history -- all for the sake of saving someone's hurt feelings -- is a despicable trend of late that's been prompted in large part by minority groups that have finally found a voice. But Richard Spencer, you're not helping.

Seattle Police Officers stage near a May Day protest, Monday, May 1, 2017, in Seattle. Immigrant and union groups marched in cities across the United States on Monday, to mark May Day and protest against President Donald Trump's efforts to boost deportations.

For Republicans, it’s getting dangerous out there

A Tennessee woman, apparently discontent with her congressman's remarks at a town hall at the University of Tennessee-Martin, did what any normal, curious and courteous constituent would do to have her followup concerns addressed -- she chased his car down, forced him off the road and started screaming and banging on their windows. You guessed it. The congressman, David Kustoff, is a Republican

Attorney General Jeff Sessions speaks in Central Islip, N.Y., in this April 28, 2017, file photo. Sessions has directed the nation’s federal prosecutors to pursue the most serious charges possible against the vast majority of suspects, a reversal of Obama-era policies that is sure to send more people to prison and for far longer terms. The move, announced in a policy memo sent to U.S. attorneys late on May 10, has been expected from Sessions. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II, File)

Jeff Sessions’ law and order memo likely to irk left

Attorney General Jeff Sessions, with one quick stroke of the pen, overturned some lax criminal policies of the previous Barack Obama administration -- the ones that said certain suspects ought to only be charged with minimum offenses. Get ready: The lawsuits from the left are sure to come.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky. signals a thumbs-up as he leaves the Senate chamber on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, April 6, 2017, after he led the GOP majority to change Senate rules and lower the vote threshold for Supreme Court nominees from 60 votes to a simple majority in order to advance Neil Gorsuch to a confirmation vote.

Mitch McConnell emerges from man cave!

Listen up! Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has emerged from his man cave to issue an Official Announcement -- an announcement of such epic importance that it's truly more a pronouncement -- and it's one that goes like this: Umm, you women over there. You all can come to the health care party, too.

Rep. Maxine Waters received a standing ovation before presenting the "Best Fight Against the System" award at the MTV Movie & TV Awards Sunday night. (MTV)

Maxine Waters, you’re embarrassing yourself

Rep. Maxine Waters, who long ago abandoned any pretense at being a constitutionally minded member of Congress, is now rapidly moving into a realm of reality that doesn't even allow her to be a useful idiot for the Democrats.

Lunatic left calls for GOP to be ‘hounded’ at restaurants, in streets

A Huffington Post editor-at-large, reacting to President Donald Trump's firing of James Comey -- and apparently, to the continued existence of all-things conservative -- called on fellow leftist to take to the streets, follow Republicans where they eat, sleep and make merry, and basically set up protest camp.

In this Tuesday, May 2, 2017, photo, Amira Hassan, of Burnsville, Minn., plays in the waiting room at the specialty clinic at Children's Minnesota in Minneapolis. Hassan went to the hospital's clinic for a routine wellness check, but had to wear a mask to protect her from measles after an outbreak has sickened more than 30 children in Minnesota. The masks are just one precaution that hospitals are taking to try to control the spread of the disease, which is predominantly affecting Minnesota's Somali community. (AP Photo/Amy Forliti)

Measles in Minnesota: It’s the borders, stupid

Minnesota is facing a bit of a measles crisis, with nearing 50 confirmed cases in the last four weeks -- a level that hasn't been seen in three decades or so. But the blame for this crisis is being wrongfully cast on anti-vaccination activists, and not on open border folk, where it more rightfully belongs.

Michael Savage advises Donald Trump to lay low

Michael Savage, top-ranked talk-radio host in America, said President Donald Trump ought to lay low for a bit, back off the social media and keep a quieter profile because, frankly -- and these are Savage's words -- his "administration is in trouble." Good advice.

DUI suspect who hit boy, 6, an illegal with 15 deportations

The DUI suspect who plowed his car into a family driving home from Disneyland, leaving a 6-year-old with serious head injuries, was an illegal immigrant who's been deported 15 times in the last 15 years. Go sanctuary cities and open borders, right Democrats?

Obama quip on ‘politicians you deserve’ bears truth

Barack Obama, speaking before a crowd of Global Food Innovation Summit participants in Milan, suggested the left needed to get more engaged in the political process because, frankly, he said, "You get the politicians you deserve." Ain't that the truth. Only not in the way he meant it.

In this May 3, 2017, file photo, FBI Director James Comey listens on Capitol Hill in Washington. President Donald Trump has fired Comey. In a statement on Tuesday, May 9, Trump says Comey’s firing “will mark a new beginning” for the FBI. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File)

James Comey firing sends Democrats into hypocritical tizzy

So James Comey is fired -- and now Democrats are squawking. No surprise there; that's what Democrats do. But what is a bit surprising is their hypocrisy. After all, Comey's firing is exactly what they were demanding over the last recent months.

Senate GOP’s health reform already stymied by stupid

A 13-member working group with a lead mission to forge the Senate's version of Obamacare reform-slash-repeal is all men -- no women. Come on now. Leadership really could've seen this one coming. You know, there's a thing called token.

People protest outside the federal courthouse in Richmond, Va., Monday, May 8, 2017. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday is examining a ruling that blocks President Donald Trump's administration from temporarily barring new visas for citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. It's the first time an appeals court is hearing arguments on the revised travel ban, which is likely destined for the U.S. Supreme Court. (AP Photo/Steve McMillan)

Trump campaign rhetoric on trial — not travel ban

Were it not for President Donald Trump's campaign trail rhetoric about Muslims and national security, his latest revised travel ban order would pass constitutional muster with barely a legal argument.

EPA, Interior pink slip moment a jolt of sanity

Outside agencies that have advised the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Interior on matters related to science for years have been handed pink slips of sorts in recent days. This is a real returning-to-sanity moment in American history

No, no, NO — health care is not a right

Republicans on Capitol Hill, who hold the majorities in all the political power channels -- the House, Senate and White House -- are playing the Democratic game and talking about health care as if it's a right. When the heck did that happen?
