DC VA director demoted after IG finds veterans at ‘risk’

A director at the Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington, D.C., was just removed from his post after a government watchdog blasted the facility for unsanitary conditions. But the director wasn't fired -- only demoted. And he wasn't even named in the VA's announcement of his demotion-- as if we're still trying to protect those who can't even protect our nation's most honorable.

Sean Spicer’s humble apology a sign of good governance

The left is going batty over Sean Spicer's Hitler mishap, mocking and scoffing the White House press secretary for mistakenly stating the former Nazi leader "didn't even sink to using chemical weapons" against citizens or using "gas on his own people" the way Syria's President Bashar Assad did. But Spicer's humble rebound is commendable.

United’s passenger flap stokes Vietnam flames

United Airlines, already under the gun from angry social media posters who saw its security-guard ousting of a passenger as an uncalled-for manhandling, is now facing fury from Vietnam. Why? Turns out, the guy who was dragged down the aisle, David Dao, was not from China, as initially assumed.

Meet the liberal press

There are those who still scoff at the idea of a biased mainstream media - at the notion that some in the press, many in the press, actually have active intents to take out Trump, tear down conservatives, trash the Republican Party, and build up the left. Well, let the facts speak for themselves then.

MIT Press publishes ‘Communism for Kids,’ the book

Tina Brown laments Hillary Clinton treated like ‘Typhoid Mary’

Tina Brown, one of the leading voices behind the Women of the World Summit that just wrapped in New York City, said Hillary Clinton was right -- she was a victim of misogyny during the recent presidential election. And she said that the misogyny was so intense, Clinton was practically turned into a Typhoid Mary on the campaign trail. Well, we're already in Stupid Land, might as well look around a while.

Border battle, as leftists fight for rights of jaguar

In an act of 11th hour desperation, wildlife conservation groups have ramped up efforts to stop the building of the U.S.-Mexico border wall by claiming construction would impede the roaming of the jaguar. Umm ... who cares?

Bernie Sanders-Tom Perez road trip a red flag for GOP

Sen. Bernie Sanders, of "Yes, I'm a Proud Socialist" fame, and newly seated Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez have teamed for a 50-state tour to rally the grassroots to come on down and vote, come next election. The GOP would be folly to fail to take note.

ISIS hit on Coptic Christians leaves Egypt in emergency

Egypt's president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, declared three days of mourning, and three months of national emergency, in the wake of the ISIS terror strikes on Coptic Christians while they worshipped in church services for Palm Sunday. That's nice. But what about ISIS?

Devin Nunes should’ve said, ‘Bite me’

So Rep. Devin Nunes stepped away from his leading role of his House Intelligence Committee's investigation of Russia's meddling in America's 2016 election. How nice. He's taking one for the team. But he should've announced this instead: Bite me.

Syria called the operation "an aggression" that killed at least six people. (Syrian Presidency via AP, File)

Trump strikes on Syria premature

President Donald Trump, responding to a chemical weapons attack in Syria that killed dozens -- including children -- ordered a targeted cruise missile strike on a military airbase, al-Shayrat Airfield, located in the western part of the country outside Homs. He shouldn't have. Gruesome pictures of dead children do not automatically justify an American military intervention.

Former U.S. attorney of Manhattan Preet Bharara, one of Barack Obama's appointees who was asked last month by President Donald Trump's administration to exit, stage left, spoke out this week for the first time since his firing -- and surprise, surprise, it was words of criticism about the new White House. The question: How many Barack Obama holdovers silently agree?
