Maxine Waters likens anti-Trump fight to patriotism

Rep. Maxine Waters, who's been heading up the call to impeach President Donald Trump for weeks, now has a new way of patting the anti-administration movement on the head and cajoling them along: by telling them they're true patriots. The hits do keep on coming with Waters, don't they?

Devin Nunes tarred as criminal in astonishing Democrat attack

A California Democrat, Rep. Eric Swalwell, who also serves on the House Intelligence Committee -- there's an oxymoron for ya -- called for his chairman, Republican Rep. Devin Nunes to step down, saying his interactions with the White House seem a "cover up." A "cover up" for what, exactly? As Swalwell suggested: for criminal behavior. That's an astonishing claim.

In this Sunday, March 26, 2017, photo, waves roll onto boulders at the foot of a sea cliff near Royal Palms Beach in the San Pedro area of Los Angeles. A new study predicts that with limited human intervention, 31 percent to 67 percent of Southern California beaches could completely erode back to coastal infrastructure or sea cliffs by the year 2100, with sea-level rises of 3.3 feet (1 meter) to 6.5 feet (2 meters). The study released Monday, March 27, 2017, used a new computer model to predict shoreline effects caused by sea level rise and changes in storm patterns due to climate change.

Brexit chiefs eye 2-state solution for California — Calexit

Cut California in two -- that's the message from the primary Brexit deal-makers, Nigel Farage and Arron Banks, who have joined with key Republicans to split the state along liberal versus regular folk lines. Good: California's been a thorn in conservatives' paws for far too long.

Donald Trump’s kiss-off to Obama-era climate change

President Donald Trump is poised to shred Barack Obama's whole climate change rule book on Tuesday. But he needs to make sure he goes far enough. The EPA has been nothing but a regulatory bully for the last eight years. It's time to boot the bully from the playground.

AP’s hope-and-prayer hit at North Carolina bathroom bill

The Associated Press came out with a cost estimate of how North Carolina's so-dubbed "bathroom bill" -- you know, the one that makes clear that boys must stay in their own restrooms, and girls, likewise -- is going to cost the state $3.76 billion over the next dozen or years. What the estimate is based on is the hope and prayer that nobody asks questions. Because under scrutiny, the numbers pretty much crumble.

Trump’s Office of American Innovation holds promise

President Donald Trump will announce Monday the formation of a new Office of American Innovation, to be headed by his son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner. And aside from the George Orwellian-sounding bent -- the ministries of Love, Peace, Truth and Plenty in "1984" that weren't -- it's a fine idea.

The David Horowitz Freedom Center in Los Angeles is kicking into high gear a campaign against 11 schools in California known as safe havens for illegals, telling them, in no uncertain terms: Stop the sanctuary madness. Or else we'll prosecute you "for sedition," group founder Horowitz wrote, in an online post.

Donald Trump sends ultimatum: Pass Obamacare or …

Oh my, Republicans are in a spot. On Obamacare, it seems, President Donald Trump ain't playing, and late Thursday evening, he sent that message House Republicans' way, telling them to pass the reform plan -- or face the wrath of voters because he's moving on to other legislative matters.

London terror and the Islam elephant in the room

President Donald Trump, reacting to the Wednesday terror attack in London by the Houses of Parliament, called it "big news," but withheld further comment, pending more information. And the information we're all waiting -- albeit quietly, because it's not politically correct to bring it up openly and bluntly -- is simply this: Is this another case of Islamic terrorism?

U.N.’s backdoor try at banning free speech

The United Nations, ahead of its global celebration of the International Day for Elimination of Racial Discrimination, sent out a press release putting forth the notion that free speech is good -- free speech is necessary. But free speech has its limits. In other words: The First Amendment needs to be reeled in.

Fighting crime with Jesus

A Chicago pastor, Jon Kelly, tired of seeing kids raised in crime and violence turn around and perpetuate the cycle with their own acts of criminality, has taken his prison past, his theology studies and a dose of good ol' boldness in God and headed to the streets -- taking over drug dealers' corners and setting up "Jesus Saves" shop. This is how it's done, folks.
