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.

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel too glib for his own good

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel coming off as a someone who's hunkering into self-protection mode, putting his own interests above those of others and trying at all costs to salvage his reputation and that of his department's. It's not a pretty picture.

Secularism isn’t working

Seventeen students and staffers are dead at a Florida high school, and now the country's on fire, debating both merits and dangers of curbing Second Amendment rights in what's become the predictable political and policy talk whenever tragedy strikes in this manner. Guns are not the problem, though. Secularism is.

NRA likened by Hollywood leftist to ISIS — to a ‘terrorist organization’

Just when you thought the rhetoric surrounding gun control couldn't get any more hyperbolic -- here comes Michael Moore, out of Hollywood's left field of fantasy dwellers. "The NRA," Moore wrote on Twitter, "is a terrorist organization." How so? Well, he went on, it's like ISIS -- just like the dang ISIS.

Deputy Scot Peterson hid while students were shot — and this is police training?

A disturbing report from Fox News shows the deputy who was supposed to be armed and on the job at Marjory Stoneham Douglas High School -- the one who was there as the killings were taking place -- was hiding behind a concrete column, protecting not the students but rather himself. That's all caught on surveillance video; it's not a what-if. And one can't help but wonder: Is this the unfortunate result of all the police policies put forth in recent times that the number one goal of officers tasked to a scene is to get home safely?

Donald Trump: Armed teachers ‘GREAT DETERRENT!’

President Donald Trump hit back on Twitter at what he called the "Fake News" for improperly quoting him on his views of armed teachers in the classroom, saying he didn't say "give teachers guns" but rather, in more levelheaded fashion, agreed to consider the idea as a means of stopping school shootings. And so he should. Allowing teachers with concealed carry permits to bring their legally owned weapons into the classroom is one tool to fight school-place murders -- and, not only that, it's a promise this president made during campaign season.

Marco Rubio unfairly vilified for Florida shooting

The school shooting in Florida that resulted in the killing of 17 students and staffers was a grievous and tragic act of evil. But it wasn't Sen. Marco Rubio's fault. Neither was it the Second Amendment's fault.

Donald Trump has a point: Time to investigate Team Obama

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, watching almost all modern-day human behaviors

One of the problems in demystifying artificial intelligence is that as soon as an AI-based product reaches the public, "we stop calling it AI," said Tara Chklovski, the CEO and founder of Iridescent, a nonprofit that aims to educate and empower children and their parents on engineering and technology matters.

Jennifer Lawrence, thank goodness, to quit acting to ‘fix the democracy’

Oh good, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar-winning actress, has decided to go off her job in Hollywood in order to go on the job for America. She's quitting acting -- for a time -- to help save us from ourselves. And by her estimates, it should only take her a year or so.

Donald Trump endorses Mitt Romney, showing how GOP ought to act

President Donald Trump sent out a tweet of praise for former Massachusetts governor and failed presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, endorsing his one-time White House rival for the Senate in Utah. Have to say -- this is lot classier than how Romney treated Trump. GOP, pay attention. There's much to be learned from this president.

Artificial intelligence can read! And now customer service reps must go

An economic boom just dropped on the world -- and most, no doubt, aren't even aware. What happened? China's retail and technology conglomerate, Alibaba, developed an artificial intelligence model that beat the humans it competed against in a Stanford University reading and comprehension test. This is historic.

Obnoxious, ignorant teens now demand curbs on guns

Teens across the nation, fed up with school shootings, are planning marches, media events and three-minute demonstrations at the White House in order to get across their messages of frustration with the Second Amendment and to demand lawmakers take immediate action.

Utah: U.S. flag shredded; ISIS flag raised

Somebody in Utah just ripped down an American flag flying at Hurricane High School, shredded it and tossed it into the streets, then raised what appeared to be a banner used by ISIS on the pole in its place. This is how the culture views our country? This is how society rates America?

Cancer findings a bit of a joke

A new study of 100,000-plus French adults has found that those who eat a lot of processed foods and drink a good deal of sugary drinks are more likely to develop a variety of cancers than those who, say, eat healthy food. What? You don't say.

Playing God? AI murky on what’s truly ‘conscious,’ what’s not

A funny thing happened at a press conference with a group of internationally renowned scientists who were asked about the potential for artificial intelligence to become their world's equivalent of playing God. They couldn't define "conscious."
