Charlottesville riot brings out leftist hatred for Trump

In the aftermath of the horror of the Charlottesville riot, there's been less condemnation by the media and the left of the neo-Nazi that is charged with murdering Heather Heyer and injuring at least 19 others than there has been of President Trump.

Anthony Scaramucci firing shows how language matters

Lots of talk about language this week. Anthony Scaramucci, the ousted pick for White House communications director, was removed, apparently, for a variety of reasons, the most public being a vulgarity-laced conversation with a reporter.

Conservative women are smeared by liberals

On Monday, the Democrats were really excited about their new slogan, "A Better Deal: Better Skills, Better Jobs, Better Wages." Widely ridiculed for being idiotic, here's a slogan they could have chosen, which is much more honest about the current liberal agenda: "A Bully's Deal: If You Ever Think For Yourself and Don't Conform, We'll Ruin Your Life."

Fake news, language bias must be spotted and avoided

Fake news has become known for being a false story, gossip or even lies promulgated by the legacy media. We know what our news media establishment often delivers is nothing more than opinion masquerading as news. That in itself is a huge problem. We're all learning about how to recognize it and how seriously to take it, if at all.

Donald Trump CNN tweet shows his mastery of social media

There are many discussions about the President Trump "wrestling" CNN tweet, but it's time to get to the heart of the matter: that the tweet was brilliant, anticipating a ridiculously overwrought reaction by the legacy media, and boy, did they deliver.

Liberals ignore violence against conservatives

Two weeks ago, a deranged gunman, nourished on leftist hate and rage against conservatives, went to a baseball field with the intent of assassinating Republican congressmen.

Liberal anger trained on Donald Trump

Almost six out of 10 American voters are angry and dissatisfied with how the media is covering politics, according to a new Quinnipiac poll. Someone has finally united us, and it's through rejection of the 24/7 media (read liberal) hate-fest of President Trump.

Assisted suicide laws can be abused

As we remain inundated with the news and chaos of terrorist attacks, a life-and-death struggle is emerging here at home, manifesting some of the same threats to Western values, and even to the core understanding of civilization itself and its value of life. With the passage of assisted-suicide laws, there are new reports that health insurance companies are refusing to cover lifesaving medical care and are offering to pay patients to kill themselves instead.

Manchester attack shows terrorism must be fought

After the horrific carnage unleashed by the terrorist attack in Manchester, England, some of the reactions were inexplicable. We're used to jihadis celebrating the horror of mass murder, but it's still perplexing to hear Western leaders and media reissue their bizarre insistence that we need to get used to the sick and depraved.

James Comey firing shows Democratic, media hypocrisy

The reaction of the Democrats, the media and scattered pathetic "Never Trump" Republicans to the firing of FBI Director James B. Comey has been priceless and actually has nothing to do with Mr. Comey, or any investigation he was leading.

Donald Trump tested by Obama’s leftover priorities

President Trump is truly a man alone. This isn't new, as he was elected for that very reason; he campaigned as someone who would confront the status quo, and by doing so, make America great again.

Hillary Clinton’s failure was due to the Democrats

Finally, the Democrats admit it wasn't the Russians, James B. Comey or sexism that brought Hillary Clinton down. We are now told by journalists, leading Democrats, and even a former Democratic presidential candidate, that it was the inept dysfunction of the party itself, Hillary, and her abused and frightened team that has reduced them all to irrelevant, vapid political busybodies.

Political correctness continues to run amok

In today's academy, truth is an invention. Expecting people to show up on time is racist. Censorship is good. Silencing opposing viewpoints imperative. Violence to enforce safety is natural.

Hillary Clinton is a misogynist but blames others

Hillary Clinton has emerged from the woods determining that her election loss is everyone's fault but her own. But even more surprising was that Donald Trump colluding with the Russians was suddenly no longer the main culprit; no, now it was hatred of women that fueled her loss. But this was no ordinary misogyny, it was the fault of women in particular who apparently hate other women. Or something.

Trumpmageddon

It's not clear how long liberals will be able to keep up their perpetual Trump outrage, but a clever entrepreneur should immediately establish sanatoriums within which Hollywood types, Democratic operatives and "activists" receive the care they need when they collapse from exhaustion.

Leggings on United Airlines flight shocks liberal elements

Two girls needing to change out of their leggings in order to board a United Airlines flight caused quite the kerfuffle on social media, after a "bystander" named Shannon Watts went into a tweetstorm of clueless, self-righteous indignation. In other words, she was a professional liberal activist, something else the legacy media has chosen to not mention.
