FILE - In this Feb. 15, 2018, file photo, President Donald Trump speaks in the Diplomatic Room at the White House, in Washington, about the shooting in Parkland, Fla. When shots rang out at a high school in Parkland, Florida last year, leaving 17 people dead, Trump quickly turned his thoughts to the need for more mental institutions. When back-to-back mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, jolted the nation earlier this month, Trump again raised the need for “building new facilities” for the mentally ill as a way to prevent mass shootings.

Alabama pastor’s unduly harsh condemnation of Trump voters

A Baptist church in Alabama got out in front of elections by posting a sign on its front-lawn billboard that said, "A black vote for Trump is mental illness." What is it with everybody these days thinking they're experts on long-distance determination of mental fitness?

Neil Cavuto strikes one for freedom

Neil Cavuto, Fox News host, sent a scathing message President Donald Trump's way on national television, telling the White House chief that his cable company didn't work for him -- didn't work for anybody in the administration, in fact. It was a bold stand for the free press.

James Comey’s smug skirt of spirit of law

James Comey just skated prosecution, but instead of wiping his brow, breathing a sigh of relief and saying his hail Marys a thousand times or so, took to Twitter to mock President Donald Trump -- along with anyone over the past few months who've dared challenge his Boy Scout image and question his political motivations.

A.I.’s lure of 12-hour work week a recipe for human disaster

Alibaba Chief Executive Jack Ma said at the World A.I. Conference in Shanghai that technology was moving along at a rapid enough clip that one day, humans could very well max their work week at 12 hours -- and moreover, they should. Easy there, Ma. Idle hands very often do lead to the devil's work.

Atheists slapped, as common sense, courage, come to court

A federal court ruled that a group of atheists demanding the right to deliver the invocation at the opening of legislative sessions in the Pennsylvania House are simply out of luck, and they'll have to take their secularist so-called prayers elsewhere. Finally. A court with courage to uphold the common sense aspect of the Constitution.

Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj sign petition, yay for abortion

Roughly 140 of the world's most famous musicians joined Hollywood's most liberal in signing on to the Planned Parenthood-pressed "Bans Off My Body" campaign. Yay for abortion. It has a way of bringing the leftists out of their cobwebby corners and getting them to reveal their most despicable politics.

Johnson & Johnson slapped with terrible ruling

Cleveland County District Judge Thad Balkman ruled Johnson & Johnson created an opioid crisis in Oklahoma by running a misleading marketing campaign and now must pay $572 million to the state. Thank goodness for appeals. The case against Johnson & Johnson is about as flimsy as the cloth on Balkman's robe.

Donald Trump’s MAGA dance irks Snooty McSnoot-Faces at G-7

President Donald Trump "confounds the world," gets "derailed by a smooth-talking Emmanuel Macron" and "leans into his chaotic style" at the Group of Seven summit in France -- according to the leftists and elitists in the media, that is. And now for a return to a more truthful assessment.

Mosul — from 15,000 Christians to 40

Before ISIS, Mosul was home to 15,000 Christians. In July, Mosul was home to about 40. Any questions? It's called political correctness run amok.

Another $45 billion for National Labs. Another $200 billion for Grid Modernization. The list goes on. The multi-multi-billion dollar list goes on.

Cory Booker’s transgender ‘nie-phew’ nonsense

Sen. Cory Booker, who still thinks he has a chance to win the White House, despite pulling a dismal 2.2% in a recent RealClearPolitics poll, just called his nephew "nie-phew" so as to not offend the kid, Avery, who identifies as non-binary. Delusion is in Booker's DNA.

Elizabeth Warren a liar in the eyes of most U.S. voters

Most likely voters in America think Sen. Elizabeth Warren, one of the Democrat Party's leading contenders for the White House, lied about her Native American heritage, according to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports. But the rest of the survey adds that for "most," it's not a critical issue when it comes to how they will vote.

Bill de Blasio’s love for illegals put citizens in danger

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced new rules giving the 725,000 or so illegals living in his jurisdiction the right to apply for subsidized and low-cost housing. There's an open door, roll-out-the-mat welcome to illegals for ya. More safety and security for citizens in the city that never sleeps, yes?

Rep. Ralph Abraham, a Republican from Louisiana who is seeking the governor's seat for his state, rocked national headlines by claiming in a 30-second campaign advertisement that "there are only two genders."

San Francisco, where felons are ‘justice-involved’ and there’s no shame in crime

San Francisco's Board of Supervisors just adopted a resolution recommending that felons not be called felons but rather "formerly incarcerated person" or former "justice-involved" person or "returning resident" -- or any other number of soft and fuzzy names that won't hurt the feelings of the, umm, felons. File this under Ridiculous.
