Donald Trump protesters fill streets, minus the sizzle

The streets of Los Angeles filled with President Donald Trump protesters, doing what the anti-Trump protesters do best -- call for impeachment. Yawn. It's to the point where these protests are bringing out the tepid response, here we go again.

My first-person brush with news bias: ‘You’re fired!’

Talk of the media town lately has focused on the bias of the press, the fake news of the mainstream and whether journalism as an above-the-fray art is dead. My two cents? Dead as a doornail. Dead as dead can be. I know full well. I was fired for just the type of news bias that President Donald Trump blasts on a near-daily basis.

President Trump and his top aides have lashed out at the federal court that blocked his anti-sanctuary city executive order, with the president calling the ruling “ridiculous” and his press secretary saying sanctuaries like San Francisco have “the blood of dead Americans on their hands.” Mr. Trump vowed Wednesday to fight the case all the way to the Supreme Court, dismissing the new ruling as the latest errant decision from the country’s most liberal judicial circuit.

Hawaii Attorney General Doug Chin speaks at a news conference about the Supreme Court's decision on President Donald Trump's travel ban, Monday, June 26, 2017, in Honolulu. The Supreme Court is allowing Trump to forge ahead with a limited version of his ban on travel from six mostly Muslim countries. Chin says the important thing about the decision is that the travel ban will not go into effect for people with a "bona fide" connection to the United States. (AP Photo/Caleb Jones)

Hawaii’s nonsensical resistance to borders shows as insanity

Scarcely had President Donald Trump's softened, revised travel ban affecting six terror hot spot nations gone into effect, and the leftists in the legal world were already filing their challenges. First up -- Hawaii. But one has to wonder: What is it truly about the mental state of the left that makes them so blind to border breaches of security?

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.

CNN, NBC fight hard to shake Donald Trump’s blasting

President Donald Trump has been fighting against the media since his campaign days, when he first announced intent to seek the high office. And he's winning. And now the media's doubling down in the bunkers for an even more aggressive fight.

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.
