Eric Holder, a partisan hack who dares rail at William Barr

Eric Holder penned a scathing piece in The Washington Post against today Attorney General William Barr, calling him, get this, hold the phone, grab a seat and take a breath -- "nakedly partisan." That's not pot calling kettle black. That's lousy, stinking, lying, spying, contemptuous partisan pitbull calling guy-doing-his-job black.

Democrats — oops! — forgot ‘bribery’

Now the impeachment articles have come forward and strangely enough, what's most glaring is not what they contain, but what's missing. What they contain is "abuse of power" and "obstruction of Congress." What's missing are the key, long promised, long accused offenses, quid pro quo and bribery.

Greta Thunberg scores with ‘Time,’ as activism replaces achievement

Greta Thunberg was named Time magazine's "Person of the Year" for 2019 because -- well, because, she has a cadre of left-leaners who saw in her the necessary theater skills to publicly shame an entire world of fossil fuel users while keeping a straight face. That's not how "Time" put it. But that's the truth.

FBI guy calling for Trump to apologize should go see ‘Richard Jewell’

James Baker, the former general counsel for the FBI's James Comey, said now that the Justice Department's inspector general has released its report, that Donald Trump should step up and apologize. Are you kidding me? What a hoot. When has the FBI ever apologized? Let's ask Richard Jewell.

The lie of Jesus as an open border advocate

Merry Christmas -- now open those dang borders: That's the message from a church in California, the Claremont United Methodist Church near Los Angeles, and its rage-in-a-cage seasonal nativity scene of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. What an outrage; what an offense to Christian truths.

Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, enters a letter for the record during a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on the constitutional grounds for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2019, on Capitol Hill in Washington. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)

Louie Gohmert snaps at Jerry Nadler: ‘How much money’ are you making off impeachment?

Rep. Louie Gohmert, frustrated, outraged -- and rightly so, given the ridiculous direction of the House impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump -- tried to insist Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler explain a too-strange-to-be-true process that allowed a witness to serve as questioner, and when he was shut down, snapped back: "How much money do you have to get [inaudible]?"

Barry Berke’s joke of a pro-impeachment speech

Barry Berke, the attorney for Judiciary Committee Democrats, spent considerable time during Monday's congressional impeachment inquiry making the case against Donald Trump by presenting, supposedly, all the facts and evidences and proofs and irrefutables of the president's "corrupt abuse of power," and so forth and so on. But like all the other pro-impeach voices the Democrats have brought, Berke's talk was all wisp, all smoke.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., speaks with other lawmakers during a break from testimony from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg before a House Financial Services Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2019, on Facebook's impact on the financial services and housing sectors.

Socialism starves, America feeds, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lies

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, in her normal screeching manner, just raised national hackles by saying people will starve -- starve! -- because the Agriculture Department is reeling in its food stamp giveaways. Stupid is as stupid does. Does anybody actually starve in America? That's a socialist country thing.

Nancy Pelosi pulls impeachment rabbit from magic hat

So it's done. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a televised press conference with a message that surprised no one, said the Democrats are indeed going forward with impeachment. The bigger surprise was her ability to keep a smile off her face while speaking of her love for the country and regard for the founders.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren was asked about her children's schooling during an event in Atlanta. She said her children went to public schools, but her son went to private school after fifth grade.

Elizabeth Warren, making a loon list, checking it twice

"Medicare for All." The disappearance of private health insurance. A Planned Parenthood pink scarf at her inauguration. An end to the Electoral College. These are just some of the promises daffy Sen. Elizabeth Warren is bringing to the presidential table. Merry Christmas. Warren's making out her loon list of giveaways.

Michael Savage’s brilliant tie of Bible truths to impeachment

Talk radio rock star Michael Savage, in an opinion piece, tied the current impeachment crusade against President Donald Trump to biblical truths about the persecution and crucifixion of Jesus Christ; to the Jews of yesteryear versus the Jews of today; and to the prosecution of an innocent by the Romans and Pontius Pilate to modern time Deep State evils. It's a most brilliant comparison.

New smart TV? Manufacturers, hackers may be watching you

The FBI issued a warning to buyers of new smart television sets that went like this: Beware -- hackers, manufacturers and app developers now have an open door into your home. Big Brother is watching. Big Brother is listening. And Big Brother is now coming as a too-good-to-believe TV purchase price wrapped in holiday ribbon.

Lisa Page is no Monica Lewinsky

Lisa Page, the ex-FBI lawyer outed as an adulterous anti-Donald Trumper during the now-defunct Russia investigation into the president, has come forward, finally, to publicly speak. And of what does she speak? Of how mean old Trump has forced her to shed her supposedly preferred quiet life and speak. Page, the victim?

Newt Gingrich’s dire, dead-on warning for Trump supporters

Newt Gingrich, former House speaker, just wrote that Donald Trump's supporters better watch out and pay attention because the forces working to bring this president down are hardly finished with their efforts -- despite the fact genuine impeachable offenses are nowhere to be found. Take a memo: Gingrich is absolutely correct.

Martin O’Malley: A ball of crazy fit for a Democratic Party

Democrats are crazy. How crazy? Martin O'Malley crazy. And the fact that phrase probably requires little explanation says all that needs to be said about the Democratic Party and its acceptance of insanity as proper politicking.

Democrat BET founder Robert Johnson: Donald Trump slated to win

Democrats, take a memo: Even Black Entertainment Television founder Robert Johnson predicted, on CNBC, that President Donald Trump seemed surely, certainly, sure as can be on fast-track for reelection. That -- from a man whom by all left-leaners' accounts ought to be a natural Democratic Party voter, a natural Donald Trump hater.

Thanksgiving, Rick Perry style

Energy Secretary Rick Perry sparked some seriously shocked conversations among the leftists and secularists of the media and political worlds when he said on national TV that President Donald Trump was "ordained by God" to take the White House and lead the nation. But this is not shocking. It's Christian. And moreover, it's American.

Democrats and their tortured truths expose much

We're on the cusp of a real constitutional crisis that's pitting the vicious left against a nation of outraged citizens who know full well the partisans in the Democratic Party are only in it to win it, rather than in it to humbly serve.
