Democrats still regurgitating, after all these years

After two years of President Donald Trump, a midterm election and a Russia collusion investigation that's led nowhere, you'd think Democrats would've found a new rally call. But nope. It's "impeach Trump" in 2016, before he even took office; it's "impeach Trump" in 2018, just as the clock's about to strike 2019.

Heather Nauert: Success stems from America First, bold and brave

Ninety percent of Heather Nauert's job will be done if she only stands tall in the face of all the globalized hand-wringers of the world -- if she only, for instance, does what outgoing Ambassador Nikki Haley has done, what former Ambassador John Bolton once did.

Secret Service chills with facial recognition by White House

The U.S. Secret Service is testing a new facial recognition program at the White House, supposedly simply to identify their own volunteer agents in the public areas in the vicinity of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Well, what comes next? That is indeed the question.

Welfare for immigrant households drain on economy — and spirit

The latest Census Bureau numbers find that more than seven of 10 households headed by immigrants in California, and nearly the same amount in Texas, are on the taxpayer dole. So much for the Democrat sheep who bleat that concerns of immigrant-tied drains on welfare are simply rooted in racism and hate.

A.I. robots good for Walmart — not so much for space station

Walmart just announced 360 janitor robots with data-collecting capabilities will make their debuts at select stores before the end of January. Let's hope these 'bots do better than the ones sent to help astronauts at the International Space Station.

Tuberculosis and chickenpox and AIDS, oh my

Democrats like to swoon over the sad plights of the suffering masses making their way to U.S. borders right now, saying the poor people of points south are only trying to do right by their families, find suitable jobs and safe homes and so forth. But they do so from the safe distance of Washington, D.C.

Chris Cuomo, sorry, but Christmas isn’t about open borders

CNN's Chris Cuomo offered up a somewhat off-the-rails rationale for why America ought to open borders wide for the migrants trying to enter the country -- and suggested it was a Christian's Christmas duty. Sorry, Cuomo. Christmas isn't about open borders. Neither is Christianity, for that matter.

Sweden’s human microchip craze a warning for privacy-loving Americans

Thousands of Swedes have been busily inserting microchips beneath the skin on their hands -- for convenience's sake, for goodness sake. That's fine and dandy. For Sweden. But what's alarming is that the trend has been making a beeline for America's shores, as well.

Google’s patent pursuits send shivers of Big Brother

Google seems to be taking a little skip down Big Brother lane with some George Orwell-like patent applications that give rise to images of the telescreens described in the popular "1984" novel of dystopian society -- you know, the ones where thought police watch all, hear all and take note of all for Big Government.

Twitter’s Jack Dorsey’s got some ‘splainin’ to do

The House Energy and Commerce Committee has just kicked off an investigation into Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's alleged lying to Congress, according to a report from The Federalist. With all this booting of conservatives from his social media platform, he sure does have some 'splainin' to do, yes?

Creepy secret science births gene-edited babies

It's the stuff of horror movies -- scientists who go rogue to create their own versions of humanity, ethics be danged. Only it's not science fiction; a Chinese researcher, He Jiankui, is under investigation for gene-editing embryos using the CRISPR tool.

Nonpartisan cheer: Abortions are on the decline

I don't know any woman who's ever dreamed of growing up and having an abortion -- no, not even any of the furthest left of leftists females who populated the liberal la-la-enclave of Massachusetts I once called home. So it's with nonpartisan cheer that statistics showing the falling rate of abortions in America ought to be received.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is hiring: Might I suggest an historian?

Newly elected Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is seeking to fill 13 slots in her soon-to-be congressional office and has sent out an ad for interested applicants to apply. Might I suggest an historian? After all, with tweets like the one she just penned, comparing the migrant caravaners to Jews fleeing Nazi Germany, surely someone with solid historical sense could lend a frequent office hand.

Border chaos a sign of lawless times

The days of fair play, wait your turn, play by the rules, work hard and reap the results are over. In its place? In its place stands a rush of bodies at the U.S. border pleading, nay demanding, entry.
