Opioid deaths drop in marijuana-legal Colorado

A new study has found that fewer individuals died from opioid overdoses in one state where marijuana has been legalized. Interesting. And worthy of more, much more study.

Pope Francis, biblically challenged, blames climate change — again

Once again, Pope Francis has pressed forward the mantra that much of the world's problems -- hunger, overrun borders -- are due to man's failures to stop wars and address climate change. This is odd, given a more biblical perspective might say, oh let's see, wars come from evil desires and hunger, in large part, from wars.

Dana Loesch, latest victim of the lunatic left

Dana Loesch, familiar face of Second Amendment activism, says she's been driven from her home, forced to move, because lunatics on the left have threatened -- repeatedly -- to harm her.

This Dec. 24, 2016, file photo shows San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick talking during a news conference after an NFL football game against the Los Angeles Rams. Kaepernick filed a grievance against the NFL on Sunday, Oct. 15, 2017 alleging that he remains unsigned as a result of collusion by owners following his protests during the national anthem.

Colin Kaepernick, the left’s example of How to Make Money

Traditionalists believe the way to success is to work hard, work tough and work determined, and eventually, the doors to the sought-after goal will crack then open. The left believes more in grievances and lawsuits. Can you say Colin Kaepernick?

Donald Trump won’t be impeached

Listen up, Impeach Trump crowd: President Donald Trump's not going to be impeached. He won't. So let it go. Move on -- and take your MoveOn.org money with you.

Barack Obama should apologize for Cuba

So far, 22 American diplomats and their family members have been harmed in unexplained attacks in Cuba -- the country Barack Obama assured was our new bestie, maybe even more so than Iran. Obama needs to apologize.

In this April 15, 2015, file photo, Rose McGowan arrives at the LA Premiere Of "DIOR & I" held at the Leo S. Bing Theatre on Wednesday, April 15, 2015, in Los Angeles. McGowan’s Twitter account has been suspended, temporarily muting a central figure in the allegations against Harvey Weinstein. McGowan said late Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2017, that Twitter had suspended her from tweeting after the social media company said she broke its rules. (Photo by Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP)

Twitter, red-faced, unlocks Rose McGowan

Anybody who's ever been blocked or locked or limited by Twitter knows -- the company never explains why. It only sends a standard form memo that speaks of "violating terms of service," or some other such bland and nondescript reason. The Rose McGowan-Twitter saga has ended somewhat differently.

Boy Scouts of America leaders say they will start developing the next generation of female leaders and allow families to participate in outdoor activities together. (Associated Press/File)

Boy Scouts of America are for boys, not girls

The Boy Scouts of America just announced it was going to allow girls to take part in its scouting program -- to earn the group's highest leadership rank, the Eagle Scout. This is a mistake. Boy Scouts should stay all boy; similarly, the Girl Scouts should stay all girl.

In this June 5, 2017, file photo, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks in Baltimore. Clinton says she's "shocked and appalled" by the revelations of sexual abuse and harassment being leveled at Harvey Weinstein.

Hillary Clinton, ‘appalled’ by Harvey Weinstein, still hedges on money

Well, finally and at last, and about freaking time. Hillary Clinton came out on CNN on Wednesday to say she was "sick" and "shocked" and "appalled" over the whole Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment-slash-rape allegations floating about the media. But her vow to return Weinstein dollars? Well now, we'll see. Her words suggestion something else.

NFL kneelers — all hail the Eric Holder

What an interesting connection between one leading voice in the pro-anthem kneeling movement, NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith, and former attorney general, Eric Holder. The former actually worked for the latter. Figures.

Chicago soda tax crumbles — now, about that gang violence

Cook County, Illinois, famous around conservative circles for its Chicago land of outrageous gun control -- a city to point to as an example of how government ought not be run -- may finally have hit one out of the ballpark. Cook County Board of Commissioners voted 15-1 to roll back a soda tax -- a 1-cent-per-ounce soda tax that had just been implemented a couple months ago. If only they could solve their gun crime problems so quickly.

Donald Trump, Rex Tillerson — WTFreak

Donald Trump, reportedly stung when his secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, was said to have called him a "moron," struck back -- as the president is wont to do -- and snarked in a just-released Forbes article that of the two, it's his own presidential self who's actually the smarter.
