Virtually every week, there seems to be another issue that preoccupies the country. But while our attention is focused on President Donald Trump, Google, Charlottesville, Russia, impeachment, Jeffrey Epstein, the next elections, racism, a trade war with China, the #MeToo movement or something else, LGBTQ organizations are quietly going about their work dismantling ethical norms,
POLITICS & POLICY
After two unimpressive debate performances and a week of rather incredible gaffes, former vice president Joe Biden is still atop the polls, for now. It seems the Democrats’ amazing gaffetastic frontrunner is here to stay, but he shouldn’t get his hopes up. The latest Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll found Biden in the lead in the
While it was radical loon Saul Alinsky who first promoted the idea, it was Rahm Emanuel who brought the notion of never letting a crisis go to waste into the mainstream back when he was President Obama’s Chief of Staff. A political writer for The New York Times is now trying to help Beto O’Rourke apply
A favorite question that the anti-gun crowd likes to ask is “Why does anyone need an AR-15?” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has a very practical answer to that, which he offered to reporters on Friday. The New York Post: Sen. Lindsey Graham knocked down the idea of banning semi-automatic weapons nearly identical to those used by
While President Donald Trump is an ideal scapegoat for leftist hatred and demagoguery, the left’s ultimate goal is to permanently reduce conservatism and the Republican Party to minority status by indelibly associating them with racism. Listen to what the Democratic presidential candidates and other Democrats are saying. If you support border enforcement, you are a
Immediately following two horrific mass shootings — one in El Paso, Texas, and another within a matter of hours in Dayton, Ohio — the blame game started. For many, culprit No. 1, of course, is President Donald Trump. Presidential candidate Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., said: “There is a complicity in the President’s hatred that undermines
The world’s most idiotic astrophysicist is at it again. After years of attempting to get social media right and failing, Neil deGrasse Tyson finally tweeted a hot take that wasn’t stunningly stupid, only to have fact-challenged leftists jump all over him. A refresher: In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass
“Fake news!” shouts the president. His supporters cheer. That drives my colleagues into a frenzy of self-absorbed handwringing: “Threats to press freedom … press persecution!” It’s silly. American reporters are hardly less safe because of President Donald Trump’s hyperbole. (Trump is reckless when he uses the term in other countries. Authoritarians in Russia, China, the
It was interesting to note a comment made by Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) during last week’s Democratic presidential debate. Regarding health care policy Harris said, “For a Democrat to be running for president with a plan that does not cover everyone, I think is without excuse.” Harris, obviously, places coverage as the top policy goal
GARY, Indiana — If you want to know the true state of a city, drive through all of it, not just the pretty parts where politicians line the streets with bike lanes and lavish developers who have deals to build by stadiums and riverfronts. Here in this Indiana manufacturing town, there are hollowed-out neighborhoods, abandoned
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, never said there were “fine” Nazis or Ku Klux Klansmen. This is one of the two great lies of our time — the other being that all Trump supporters are racists — and perhaps in all of American history. I cannot think of a lie of such
It’s notoriously difficult to perform experiments on humans, especially on large groups of humans, but every so often something happens that may not be a perfect control, but still looks awfully close. This weekend was one of those opportunities when there were two mass shootings in as many days. One was in El Paso and
In the New York City public schools, only about two-thirds of K-12 students graduate with a high-school diploma. Of that two-thirds, a self-selected group then attends the City College of New York. Now, notice that this isn’t all of that two-thirds: it’s only those graduates who want to go to college, we assume because they
The new president of The Heartland Institute, Frank Lasee, was not exaggerating when he described the 13th International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC13) as “the most important climate change and energy event of the year.” Speaking about the July 25 conference held at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., Lasee explained, “ICCC13 demonstrated that the Climate Delusion is not
I have concluded this presidential campaign is going to be a danger to my dental health. Not mental — that bus left the station — but dental. Watching people react to Trump’s tweets is causing me to grind my teeth. One tweet that damaged my dentine, of course, is that tweet about Elijah Cummings’ district
After the CNN debates earlier this week, many were shocked to see 2020 Democrats go after Joe Biden by trashing the Obama-Biden years. Biden himself said that while he expected to be attacked, “I was a little surprised how much the incoming was about Barack.” He added, “I hope the next debate we can talk
I had an engineering professor in college who once horrified an entire class with a single word. A student asked him if he believed women and men were equal. “No,” he replied. Eyes widened. Jaws dropped. Gasps could be heard in the next county. He explained. “What does it mean to be equal? Women and
In Wednesday evening’s Democratic presidential debate circus, the left’s favorite darlings turned on one another with a selfish vengeance, which was a positive development for the country and mildly entertaining. The glorious infighting continued among progressive commentators. This acrimony, coupled with the public exposure of the left’s crazy ideas, surely diminished the party’s image among
At the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s annual convention in Detroit, delegates unanimously recommended that the House of Representatives impeach President Donald Trump. For what? Derrick Johnson, the NAACP’s president, said: “The pattern of Trump’s misconduct is unmistakable and has proven time and time again that he is unfit to serve as
Never before have presidential candidates offered voters so much “free” stuff. Kamala Harris wants you to “collect up to $500 a month.” Elizabeth Warren says, “We need to go tenfold in our research and development in green energy.” No one has tracked the cost of all of the promises. So my video team did! Who
ACCIDENT, Maryland — Hours before the festivities began, generations of families were lining up along U.S. Route 219, which is Main Street in this Garrett County town. Armed with coolers of ice, folding chairs and old blankets, and dressed in colorful patriotic clothing, they came to watch the 100-year-old homecoming parade that celebrates their community
The Trump-aligned conservative mind surveys the cultural and political landscape and thinks: We’ve got this. Mueller, at the hearings, like some disinterred mortician, victim of his own faded glory, age, and the ignominious designs of Hillary-aligned mortuary scientists. The reprehensible “squad,” embodiments of the subversive enemies from within our Founding Fathers warned about. The ugliness of
Every non-liberal leftist — that is, nearly every Democrat running for president, New York Times and Washington Post columnist, CNN and MSNBC host, and your left-wing brother-in-law — labels every Trump supporter and, of course, President Donald Trump, a “racist.” And they don’t stop there. Leftists don’t only label the half of the country that
If you think that it is outrageous that Democratic presidential candidates want to eliminate the southern border and that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls our detention facilities there “concentration camps,” then you haven’t been reading and believing Howard Zinn’s best-selling A People’s History of the United States. But if you have been taught by a teacher
Former Vice President Joe Biden may be the shakiest front-runner in the recent history of presidential politics. Despite being perched atop the primary polls since entering the race, it always feels as if he is soon to be kicked off of that perch. After getting knocked about in the first debate by California’s Kamala Harris,
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) on Friday outlined details of what he and the House Judiciary Committee will continue doing to further beat the dead horse that is his witch hunt investigation into President Trump. To much of America, it came off as more of a cry for help. Here is a thirty-six second snippet of
Many war-torn Democrats and their media cohorts are in mourning over special counsel Robert Mueller’s stunningly bad performance before Congress, and it is a wonderful thing to behold. Take, for example, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, who, upon watching Republicans take Mueller apart in cross-examination, asked God for forgiveness for ever having been a Republican. So
In the days, weeks, and months following Donald Trump’s election and inauguration, Liberal America took its collective mind, threw it in a Vitamix, and poured it down the toilet. It has been lost and floating around in a sewer of rage ever since. One of the more notable Trump Derangement Syndrome meltdowns back then was
President Donald Trump, in a series of tweets, offered four freshman Democratic congresswomen a suggestion. Given their complaints about America and about Israel, tweeted Trump, the four, aka “the Squad” should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.” Of the four, only Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.,
Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller arrives to testify in Washington, D.C., July 24, 2019. (Leah Millis/Reuters) All along, Democrats were hoping the special counsel would do their dirty work. It’s the same mistake all of Trump’s opponents have made. Toward the end of today’s long hearings, special counsel Robert Mueller struggled to find even the
