A sensitive liberal author with an acute case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) took to Twitter over the weekend to express that her fragile psyche is placed in peril by any red baseball cap and also to let everyone know that she may be beyond help (LANGUAGE WARNING): Is anyone else made really uncomfortable these

I sometimes wish for someone to form a squad of logic referees. You could have them on set on TV news and reporting programs, old professors with white beards and vertically striped black and white uniform shirts to establish their authority. Then when somebody says something egregiously stupid, a red flag flies onto the set,

It doesn’t get much more ridiculous than the forced celebration (sigh) of the American worker (or any other worker). Labor Day. Please, get rid of it. First of all, there’s absolutely no logic to celebrating a specific class of people. In America especially there aren’t supposed to be any classes at all. Perhaps there are

So there was another shooting in Texas. At last count, including the perpetrator, there are seven dead and around 20 injured. We don’t really know anything much about the perpetrator except that he’s been identified as white. Apparently, what prompted the shooting was the perpetrator was stopped by the police, shot his way out, and

Seldom does one see the folly of timidity demonstrated so quickly or with such clarity. Would that police managers across the nation heed the lesson provided this week in Baltimore. Here’s what happened: At 1:16 a.m. Tuesday morning, a police officer was on a traffic stop in West Baltimore. Without apparent provocation, a man passing

Teenage climate hysteria and truancy advocate Greta Thunberg arrived in New York City by boat this week to whip her fellow cultists into a frenzy. On Friday, Thunberg led her squad to the United Nations, most likely because that’s where the exploitative adults around her told her to go. Reuters: Swedish teenage activist Greta Thunberg

If the left is so loving, tolerant and inclusive, why is it so driven by unquenchable bitterness? What fuels it to divide Americans? No, I’m not talking about the Democratic presidential candidates, though any one of them demonstrates the same theme. The American left is just gorged with angst and apparently on a mission to

Batten down the hatches! Yet another tsunami of global warming and “clean energy” propaganda is approaching! On September 23, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres will host the 2019 Climate Action Summit at UN headquarters. Guterres is calling on all leaders to come to New York City with “concrete, realistic plans” to increase their greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction pledges “in

Last week, I wrote about my recent problems with Instagram. After averaging 450 new followers a day since March, when I became active on Instagram, my number of new followers suddenly stopped growing. Dead stop. The count read 68.9K. It remained 68.9K for over two weeks. Then, the number dropped by 100. Meanwhile, over the same

Six months ago, Operation Varsity Blues — the college admissions scandal — rocked the elite college world. Dozens of arrests led to over 20 guilty pleas and the exposure of an illegal bribery racket which has put a black mark on so-called “elite” schools. Court appearances are keeping the admissions scandal in the limelight. Conservatives

Why does most of Africa stay poor while other parts of the world prosper? People blame things like climate, the history of colonialism, racism, etc. But I say Senegalese businesswoman Magatte Wade gives the right explanation: too many rules. “Once you hire someone, good luck getting rid of them for any reason,” Wade complains. Her

Perhaps the goal of climate hysteria mongers isn’t really to save the planet at all, but to drown it in so much nonsense that rational people grow weary of fighting the New World Order they are attempting to impose upon us. Monday’s edition of The New York Times ran an article titled “Heat Deaths Jump in Southwest

On Aug. 8, CNN headlined: “Owner of SoulCycle and the Miami Dolphins faces outrage and calls for boycott over Trump fundraiser.” The report began: “The billionaire owner of Equinox is planning a high-dollar Hamptons fundraiser for President Donald Trump, leading to calls for a boycott of the luxury gym and its associated businesses SoulCycle and

WAUPACA, Wisconsin — In another lifetime, the Park Motel and Supper Club sat along U.S. Route 10 and enjoyed both local patrons and famished travelers looking for a good homemade meal and a place to rest on this highway connecting Bay City, Michigan, to Fargo, North Dakota (including a 62-mile ferry ride across Lake Michigan).

The scolds who buy into the notion that we’re all killing dear old Mother Earth have a seemingly endless list of joys they want to remove from our lives, and have now set their sights on one of the greatest: your annual vacation. The New York Times has an opinion piece this weekend titled “How Guilty

On Friday, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) — Seth who? — will become the fourth candidate to drop out of the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. In fact, three candidates dropped out in the past two weeks: former Gov. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), current Gov. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.), and now Moulton. Americans can expect to

As red-flag laws again take center stage in the statists’ interminable gun control drama, many Second Amendment advocates seem to have dozed off. Objections to red-flag laws have been limited to ex parte hearings and surprise firearm confiscation. But red-flag laws mangle due process in even more violent ways. The Void-for-Vagueness Doctrine, a cornerstone of

What could better illustrate the floundering chaos of the Democratic Party than a new national poll showing Joe Biden as the clear front-runner? The party’s got nothing else besides this fumbling faux pas factory. You know the base doesn’t want Biden, yet he’s leading the party’s polls. Sen. Kamala Harris decided to challenge Biden in

This is astounding. Half a world away in Hong Kong, young protesters facing off against the brutal Chinese communist regime fly the American flag and sing our national anthem. They want the freedoms we take for granted. Meanwhile, here in the (for now?) land of the free, young protesters in Portland fly the communist hammer

My radio colleague Dennis Prager heads a nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization called Prager University. It shares five-minute educational videos from a conservative perspective. There have been over 2 billion views. No sex. No profanity. No chase scenes. But YouTube has placed restrictions on over 100 videos, including videos on the Ten Commandments, according to Allen Estrin

Centuries from now, when archaeologists unearth the long-buried cities of the United States of America, they may find artifacts of what by then will be the forgotten craft of journalism. Just as we look today at the medical practices of antiquity and wonder how our forebears could have been so backward, those archaeologists of the

President Donald Trump promised he’d get rid of bad rules. “Remove the anchor dragging us down!” he said when campaigning for president. “We’re going to cancel every needless job-killing regulation!” Trump was a developer, so he knew that the thicket of rules government imposes often makes it impossible to get things done. But would he

Imagine a group of people who work to destroy Italy because, they claim, Italy’s origins are illegitimate. Imagine further that these people maintain that of all the countries in the world, only Italy is illegitimate. And then imagine that these people vigorously deny they are in any way anti-Italian. Would you believe them? Or would

ESTES PARK, Colorado — I often say that what happens on Twitter isn’t a reflection of American life in the real world. The facts mostly back that up. Last month, a Pew survey showed only about 22% of U.S. adults say they use Twitter. Twitter users skew younger, identify more as Democrats, are more educated

Rush-hour traffic in Los Angeles can be nightmarish under the best of circumstances. A drive from, say, Santa Monica to downtown L.A. might take a half-hour in the middle of the night, but it could be two or three times as long during the morning and afternoon commute times. Every day, hundreds of thousands of

The Libertarian Party — which still hopes to become the third serious, big party in the United States — has released a tweet in support of the protesters in Hongkong. “The people of Hong Kong are taking a serious stand for their liberty,” the party writes. “We wish them the best as they resist oppression.”

Former Vice President Joe Biden, in December 2018, said, “I am a gaffe machine.” File that under the category of truer words have seldom been spoken. President Donald Trump benefited in the 2016 presidential contest because the unfavorable numbers of his opponent, Hillary Clinton, matched or exceeded Trump’s own unfavorable numbers. This time, in his

Have you volunteered to be an organ donor? I did. I just clicked the box on the government form that asks if, once I die, I’m willing to donate my organs to someone who needs them. Why not? Lots of people need kidneys, livers, etc. When I’m dead, I sure won’t need mine. Still, there

Dave Portnoy is the founder of the internet funhouse known as Barstool Sports and he — like a great many Americans — is not a fan of organized labor. He is also not shy about the fact, and that has now attracted the attention of The Mouth That Never Shuts, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). When

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — When the press stops rolling at The Vindicator this month, a lingering question will once again taunt the residents of the Mahoning Valley: How much collapse can one region take? The family-owned newspaper announced in June — just days after celebrating its 150th anniversary — that it is permanently ceasing production on
