This undated file photo shows John Hancock's signature on the Declaration of Independence, which was formally signed by 56 members of Congress beginning Aug. 2, 1776. National Public Radio marked Independence Day on July 4th, 2017, by tweeting the entire declaration, but it seems some Twitter users didn’t recognize what they were reading. Some of the founders’ criticisms of King George III were met with angry responses from supporters of President Donald Trump, who seemed to believe the tweets were a reference to the current president. Others were under the impression NPR was trying to provoke Trump with the tweets. (AP Photo, File)

Happy Fourth — the wolves are inside the gate

Where once upon a time Americans as a whole fought to cast off the chains of dictatorial governance, today's youth -- ignorant, willfully blind or unconcerned about historical truths -- are busily engaged in putting us back in bondage.

Hawaii puts ocean life before people

Hawaii Gov. David Ige is poised to sign into law a ban on popularly used sunscreens out of concerns the chemicals used within the product -- chemicals that have been deemed safe and effective by the Food and Drug Administration for decades -- may harm coral reefs.Leave it to environmentalists to put ocean life before people.

Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar sees the light, says no to abolishing ICE

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat, took to ABC's "This Week" to tell the watching television audience that no, Immigration and Customs Enforcement should not be abolished and those who are calling for such ought to step to the back of the room and be quiet. Finally. A Democrat with a little bit of sense.

FILE - In this March 13, 2009 file photo, students protest the shooting of an unarmed Grand Valley State University student in the "Free Speech Zone" at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Mich. Some colleges provide so-called "free speech zones" as the only place where people can protest and distribute fliers. A student filed a federal lawsuit on Tuesday, March 28, 2017, against Los Angeles Pierce College, charging the community college violated his First Amendment rights in November 2016 when campus officials barred him from passing out copies of the U.S. Constitution because he wasn't in the free speech zone and because he hadn't applied to use it.

The thin line between denouncing speech and regulating it

A lot's been said in recent times about the dangers of fiery rhetoric, and how extreme expressions can fuel aggression and violence, leading to injuries and even death. But let's take a time-out and think where all this talk could lead. This is a tale of caution, particularly for conservatives, the keepers of the constitutional gate.

Jarrod Warren Ramos Twitter-harassed journalists for years, escaping censorship

Jarrod Warren Ramos reportedly ranted for years on Twitter against the staff of The Capital Gazette, sending out angry tweets, vicious messages with threatening undertones. So here's a question for the social media site that goes out of its way to boot conservatives: Why wasn't this guy similarly censored?

Border hypocrisies of the left

Attorney General Jeff Sessions called out critics of President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" border policy on illegals as hypocrites, saying these same people who want to open America's doors wide are also going home, hunkering down and resting comfortably in their gated, walled and even armed-guarded communities. Bing. Go.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., speaks with reporters in advance of votes on two broad immigration bills, deriding the Republican immigration legislation as a "compromise with the devil," at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, June 21, 2018. The Democratic leader says the bills make House Republicans "complicit" in President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" policy that has resulted in more than 2,000 children being separated from their parents at the border.

The biblical case for closed borders

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a huge public relations hit for daring to quote scripture while explaining why borders should be secure, even if it means separating children from the adults who've carted them into the nation illegally in the first place. But let's get this straight, and straight-away: Borders are indeed biblical.
