Pizza Hut pie-ordering, TV-pausing shoes ultimate in American laziness

It's one thing to want takeout, or delivery. But Pizza Hut's Pie Tops II takes this convenience to a new level. To a new level of American indulgence and laziness, to put it bluntly.

McDonald’s flips ‘M’ to ‘W’ for weird nod at International Women’s Day

McDonald's, apparently hoping to show women how much they care, has flipped its signature golden arches on all its digital channels from "M" to "W" in some sort of executive level hat tip to International Women's Day. That's "W" for women, not weird, or What The Freak, in case you're wondering. Guess it's better than handing out pink hats with female genitalia atop, a la Women's March style.

Congressional donations from AI movers, shakers make lawmakers poor watchdogs

Rep. John Delaney, founder of the A.I. Caucus, wrote that Congress needs ensure this fast-moving industry of artificial intelligence is "good for working people, good for businesses and good for our economy," he said. He might have added that A.I. is good for lawmakers looking for the next lucrative investment, too.

Sam Nunberg’s supposed ‘rough day’

Sam Nunberg told the Daily Caller in an exclusive that he's sorry for verbally unleashing on White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and calling her, among other vile names, a "fat slob." His excuse? He was having a "rough day," he said. Well, with all due respect and all, but that's not really a "rough day." That's an inner beast leaking forth.

Stephen Colbert mocks at God: Make Oprah ‘Run!’

Stephen Colbert, late-night comedian, sat down with famed talker Oprah Winfrey and turned on the charm for God to make her run for the presidency in 2020. It was a mocking bit, no biggie for atheists but at least somewhat insulting for Christians. But the deeper takeaway is the hypocrisy it reveals of the left.

Crybaby teachers get their pay raises

Here's a truth the left doesn't want to hear -- and the right doesn't want to touch: Teachers, as a group, as a collective, as a unionized body, are oftentimes a bunch of crybabies.

Nikki Haley, Israel’s best friend in years

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley told a listening American Israel Public Affairs Committee audience -- and a no-doubt listening set of anti-Israel U.N. players -- that she was sick and tired of the globalists at the global body hitting unfairly at the Jewish state. It must come as at least a small comfort that America, once again, has the tiny country's back.

Scientists race to finish line for AI that reads human minds

In "Black Mirror," a Netflix series about a futuristic world moved by high-tech, scientists have found a way to peer inside human minds -- to surveil their thoughts to separate truth from lies. Well move over, TV watchers. This scenario is now a case of fiction finding reality.

Gun control stalls as cooler heads stand strong

Ahh, the beauty of a democratic-republic where laws outlast whim and the three separate branches of government serve as checks and balances upon each other. It's because of this Founding Father genius that gun control measures aimed at stopping law-abiding Americans from exercising their Second Amendment rights aren't going anywhere in Congress right now.

Donald Trump’s rocky anti-gun reelection road

President Donald Trump just announced plans to seek reelection in 2020, and as such, appointed digital guru Brad Parscale as his campaign chief. Well and good. But if Trump doesn't reel in his gun-control rhetoric, conservatives aren't going to back him for long.

Americans, nearly half, say universal basic income makes good AI sense

Nearly half of Americans support universal basic income to offset jobs lost to robots and artificial intelligence, according to a new Gallup poll. That means nearly half of Americans support using tax dollars to pay people for being alive.

Condoleezza Rice’s brilliant defense of guns

Condoleezza Rice told the largely liberal panel and audience of "The View" on ABC that had it not been for guns, her family and her neighbors would've suffered even more during the segregated society that was in place in her youth in the South. Bam. That's it in a nutshell -- this is why founders saw fit to put in place a Second Amendment. It wasn't a right to hunt they were defending; it was a God-given right to protect one's self and one's family from harm. And specifically: from harm from the government.

Walmart bans sales of toy guns

Walmart, not to be outdone by Dick's Sporting Goods, has jumped aboard the gun ban trade and sent out a corporate letter that makes clear its own stores would be restricting sales of firearms and ammunition to those above age 21. And with a sort of "oh yeah, how 'bout this" flip of the ace card, Walmart also announced it was barring sales of toy guns, too. Toy guns. Really now, is this where we are as a society?

Dick’s egregious if ‘even one life is saved’ gun control lie

Dick's Sporting Goods announced that its stores would no longer sell "assault-style" weapons and nobody under the age of 21 would be allowed to purchase firearms of any kind. But why insult the intelligence of the American people in the process? Why justify the move by using a tired leftist argument that goes like this: If only one life can be saved -- then fill in the blank?

Don Young: If Jews had guns, they wouldn’t have burned

Alaska's Republican congressman, Don Young, suggested during a speech that touched on gun control that if Jews during Adolf Hitler days in Germany had been armed, they wouldn't have been put in the ovens and killed. His words, predictably enough, generated outcry among the snowflakes on the left. But why? Tyrants and dictators hate guns in the hands of their citizenry for a reason.

Americans by and large blame government, not guns

When it comes to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, the majority of Americans point fingers for the fault at the government, not the guns. This is one small ray of sunshine out of a very, very dark well. It shows sanity can and does prevail, even when chaos and hot emotion swirls.

San Diego college teaches how to boot Trump from office

San Diego State University is offering a one-credit course to college-goers on how they might boot President Donald Trump from office. And with that, the demise of America's once-great places of higher learning, once-unrivaled training grounds for critical thinking, is nearly complete.

Michael Savage for Senate? He says — maybe

Talk radio genius Michael Savage may be running for U.S. Senate. He'd run on the same borders, language, culture message that's made him a must-hear on talk radio -- the one that says a country's just not a country if it doesn't focus policy on preserving those three biggies.

Self-driving cars may be the science world’s dream, but premise is flawed

Self-driving cars have become the dream of the science world. But why? If citizen safety is the justification for the development, which is it, there are so many other options that haven't been pursued that don't call for the booting of humans from behind the wheel.

Libby Schaaf, Oakland mayor, underscores why Democrats are nuts

By now, you've probably heard about the Oakland, California, mayor, Democrat Libby Schaaf, who actually sent out a warning to her city -- to her city's illegals, mostly -- about a looming potential raid from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Well, that right there is why Democrats are insane.
