Obama’s bestie Iran test-fires missile into Star of David

Iran -- the supposed newer, friendlier version ushered in by Barack Obama's administration, the one that would never, never, never take advantage of the forged nuclear treaty to develop weapons of devastating destruction -- just shot off a mid-range ballistic missile into a Star of David.

Evangelicals, the last holdouts on gay marriage line

Resistance and opposition to same-sex marriage has been crumbling among Americans -- save for one specific segment of society that's proving the last wall to even wider acceptance: Evangelicals. Standing strong on the side of scripture on this point is going to prove lonely, not to mention intense.

Playboy journo whines of Trump: We’re ‘browbeaten’ daily

A Playboy journalist named Brian Karem who covers the White House said he's been "bullied and browbeaten" daily by this President Donald Trump White House and, by God, he's not going to take it anymore. Boo-hoo. Quit your crying and do your job.

Joy Behar’s juvenile obsession with Trumps’ sex lives

Joy Behar's biggest claim to fame is as a comedian -- we get that. But poking fun of the president's and first lady's sex life? Come on. That's just tasteless, tactless, juvenile, grasping at relevancy, gasping for attention and -- and, well, stupid.

Republicans need to get it together on Obamacare

Republicans in the Senate have delayed a vote on reform and replacement of the Democrat-owned disaster known as Obamacare. They seriously need to get it together on this and pass something -- even if that something is not a final, perfected plan. Voters will not forget this failure.

Sarah Palin strikes one for conservatives with suit against The New York Times

Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate, kicked off a lawsuit against The New York Times, alleging the newspaper defamed her when its editorial board tied her to the 2011 shooting of Gabrielle Giffords. Good. The time to challenge leftist mudslinging masked as scholarly opinion and wrapped in a First Amendment bow has definitely arrived.

Religious rights rest in clutches of the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of the United States agreed this week to consider whether a Denver baker violated the constitutional and civil rights of a gay couple by refusing to sell the two guys a wedding cake. Let's hope the court sides with religious freedom on this, not special rights.

A professor of anthropology at the University of Delaware, Katherine Dettwyler, age 62, who said in a Facebook post that Otto Warmbier was a "spoiled" white boy who "got exactly what he deserved" -- imprisonment in North Korea, leading to his death -- has been fired. Good riddance. Don't let the door hit you.

Eric Trump nails it — Dems dying under ‘nut job’ leadership

Eric Trump called the head of the Democratic National Committee, Tom Perez, a "nut job" on national television. This came on the heels of him saying, earlier this month, that the Democratic Party is in midst of "imploding" -- and he's right on both counts.

Dems gnash teeth, weep, wail — but won’t change

Democrats may be floundering to understand their recent election losses. But the reasons aren't hidden. Note to Dems: Your resistance messages aren't resonating, your left-of-left viciousness is off-putting and truly, you refuse to change.

California’s travel ban — targeted at Christians?

California's just banned state-funded travel to four states that don't meet the Democratic attorney general's standards for providing LGBT protections. That's offensive. It's an attack on Christianity, that's what it is.
