Protesters shout before a speaking engagement by Ben Shapiro on the campus of the University of California Berkeley in Berkeley, Calif., Thursday, Sept. 14, 2017. Several streets around the University of California, Berkeley, were closed off Thursday with concrete and plastic barriers ahead of an evening appearance by the conservative commentator - the latest polarizing event to raise concerns of violence on the famously liberal campus.

Ben Shapiro, 1 — but First Amendment falling fast

Ben Shapiro just scored what today is becoming a major win -- a podium at a major university where police only had to make four protest arrests. Yes, that's sarcasm. It's also a sad commentary on the state of the First Amendment.

XXXTentacion’s race-baiting rap shows white boy being lynched

A black rapper, XXXTentacion, just released a new music video that features an image of a white boy being lynched as a black boy stands and watches. So far, so mum, as far as the left goes. Where's the denouncement of racism now, Democrats?

Antifa: Yes, the violence is necessary

Antifa thugs say their violence is necessary because their goals are aimed at fighting "Nazi" ideologies, and the ends therefore justify the means. The ends justify the means -- such a powerful persuader.

Donald Trump, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer DACA deal no cause for alarm — yet

President Donald Trump reportedly has struck a DACA deal with Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi. And already, the left is crowing, the right is gasping, and the media is spinning madly. But let's lower the eyebrows for a moment and take a breath. This is hardly cause for conservative alarm.

Thomas Jefferson under attack: Next up — the Declaration of Independence

Black Lives Matter protesters gathered 'round the Thomas Jefferson statue that stands in front of the rotunda at the University of Virginia and shrouded the Founding Father's face, demanding "justice" as they draped a sign that read, "Black Lives Matter -- F--k White Supremacy" over the monument base. Mark my words: First Robert E. Lee. Then Jefferson. Next up will be the Declaration of Independence and America's founding and governing documents.

Satanists and Planned Parenthood — a match made in hell

Missouri has seen a resurgence of abortion clinics of late, thanks in large part to concerted pressures from Planned Parenthood, which sued -- successfully -- to overturn state laws requiring medical providers performing the procedure to be possessed of hospital admission privileges. And, thanks to the Satanic Temple.

Psychiatrists-slash-witch doctors pen anti-Trump book

Real psychiatrists are probably squirming in their office chairs at this -- but 27 of their professional colleagues have come together to write a book about President Donald Trump. Surprise, surprise, they find: Trump's an "antisocial" idiot with "malignant narcissism," and he's going down -- big time. And this is such a surprise because Trump, as these quack analysts acknowledge, isn't even their patient.

Paul Ryan tips RINO: Nobody really wants a wall

Speaker Paul Ryan reportedly said during a private dinner earlier this year that nobody but nobody in Congress wanted a border wall -- well, nobody except "one member," Breitbart reported, citing a one-on-one with the former congressman, Tom Tancredo. And with that, the establishment raises its head once more.

Senate, led by frightened GOP, passes worthless anti-KKK resolution

Senators on Capitol Hill passed this week with both speed and unanimous voice a resolution that condemns white supremacist groups and that suggests President Donald Trump ought to do the same. This strikes as a frightened, "Hail, Mary" move to save their own political seats.

Christians outpace FEMA in aid to hurricane victims

Faith-based groups -- Christian nonprofits, specifically -- have been busy bees of late, providing more aid to hurricane victims than even FEMA, the federal agency that's supposed to swoop to the scenes of natural disasters, assess the situation and speed the recovery and rebuilding process. Just goes to show: Where charity exists, government is not needed.

Steve Bannon-CBS takeaway: Swamp creatures are winning

Steve Bannon, in an interview with Charlie Rose on "60 Minutes" on CBS, said elites in the Republican Party have been steadily working to "nullify" the results of the 2016 election, and cast President Donald Trump to the side. It doesn't get any clearer -- or more honest -- than that.

‘Trump betrays everyone’: Republican strategist goes hypocritical

Republicans aren't reacting so well to President Donald Trump's step across the political aisle to Democrats -- something that came about, if truth be told, only after the GOP failed time and again to work with the White House on long-promised agendas, like Obamacare.
