Rasmussen: Most likely voters say border wall not ‘immoral’

Voters, with a voice of 53 percent, say border walls aren't immoral -- meaning, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is off the mark, along with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, along with any number of Democrats who've either outright agreed or intimated by their silence a border wall is an "immorality."

Technology in your toothbrush, telling you how to brush

If CES 2019 tells anything, it's a story of how technology is moving into every aspect of human life, from driving to securing home and possessions to parenting to -- brushing teeth. Some of the artificial intelligence serves as an apt demonstration of overkill.

Beto O’Rourke and his magic border beans

Beto O'Rourke -- or, as he was born, Robert Francis O'Rourke -- tweeted out a video response to President Donald Trump's border wall speech that in essence said this: There's nothing to see here, folks. Go home to your families, eat and be merry. The borders are safe, safe, safe. And then he clapped his hands, spun three times and threw down some magic beans and voila, the borders were indeed safe.

Donald Trump hits all the right notes in border speech

President Donald Trump delivered a winner of a border speech to the American public, uncommonly scripted to the end as it was -- and the Democrats, in return, in response, sadly sank to their usual low levels of partisan jibbing and political jabbing.

Tesla self-driving car mows down, ‘kills’ robot in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS -- The Consumer Electronics Show, CES 2019, opened with a bit of embarrassment for Tesla, to put it mildly, when its self-driving model car ran over and "killed" an autonomous robot, Promobot. Making matters worse: It was a hit-and-run. Oh my, you just can't make this stuff up, people.

Rush Limbaugh: ‘Why does Trump have to go it alone?’

Radio's Rush Limbaugh took to airwaves this week to condemn the Democrats who are stymying President Donald Trump's border agenda, as well as the media, filled with members who serve as little more than lapdogs and mouthpieces for the left's talking points. But he reserved his harshest points for the Republicans.

Donald Trump’s border stance an inspiration, no matter what polls say

President Donald Trump has taken a hard-core stand for his long-promised border wall, and this has put him in a deep, deep dump with the American people -- so go the polls. But let's remember: These are the same polls that put Hillary Clinton in the White House. By wide margins, in some cases.

New year, new chance to reclaim ‘God-given’

It's 2019 and if this new year should bring anything, it's a national reclamation of what makes this country the absolute best in the world -- the notion that here, in America, individual rights are recognized as coming from God, not government. There's a resolution worth keeping, wouldn't you say?

Rashida Tlaib, Michigan’s newest Muslim lawmaker, sets Dem tone: ‘Impeach the mother—!’

Rep. Rashida Tlaib is Michigan's newest lawmaker on Capitol Hill, and because she's a Muslim woman raised in "southwest Detroit who didn't speak English," as she self-identified on Twitter, that makes her elevation to public office worthy of historic note. And then she crowed this, right after her swearing-in ceremony, about President Donald Trump: "Impeach the motherf--!"

Mitt Romney’s dance with disgrace

Mitt Romney used to be a man of high moral principles -- a gentleman among the coarse, a voice of reason in the political rough. Or so it seemed.

Media’s military MAGA hat-signing obsession fueled by jealousy, hatred

Members of the mainstream media have been harping on President Donald Trump for signing MAGA hats brought by military troops he visited in Iraq and Germany. As if he were doing something shamefully wrong? Truly, these critics have hit bottom-of-the-bucket for reasons to hate on Trump.

Martina Navratilova, the latest victim of transgenderism wrath

Openly lesbian tennis legend Martina Navratilova has been a hero of sorts to the LGBTQ crowd -- until now, that is, when she dared to tweet that males who simply "proclaim" themselves females to compete in female sporting events is unfair and wrong. Thing is: Navratilova only spoke the truth.

European Union guides members to strike ‘mankind,’ ‘manpower,’ ‘man-made’

The European Union has sent a guidebook to member states telling them that words like "mankind," "manpower" and "man-made" are no longer acceptable -- that rather they should sub in "humanity," "staff" and "artificial," and any number of other genderless options. Doesn't the EU have enough to worry about, with Brexit and borders and burning fires in the streets and all?
