President Xi Jinping of China is about to learn what despots before learned, to their consternation, puzzlement and grief. He has set out, as Mao Zedong did before him, to crush and squeeze the Christians in China until he has eliminated them all.
There is the natural human tendency to try to dominate or bully our fellow man or woman. Now, it is often done by the use of government institutions and procedures.
Last December’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act didn’t come wrapped in shiny paper and a bow, but it might as well have. It’s like a Christmas gift that keeps on giving.
Nowhere are anti-human sentiments among Democrat politicians more pronounced than in the race for 1st Congressional District of Pennsylvania this year.
The American left has so many people vying to be the Alternative Reality poster child that it may be difficult to pick a winner.
More than a dozen state attorneys general just sued the Department of Labor over a new rule that makes it easier for small businesses and self-employed individuals to form “association health plans.” AHPs enable these firms and sole proprietors to band together to negotiate with insurers for better deals for health coverage.
Recent news proves beyond any doubt that most of our nation’s leaders have lost any ability to think clearly and consistently. It also exposes the Big Lie — the fact that members of the elite class really never believed any of their previous posturing about human rights, personal freedom and the dignity of every human being. Their call for diversity and inclusion was simply sleight-of-hand.
Take a wild guess what country is reducing its greenhouse gas emissions the most? Canada? Britain? France? India? Germany? Japan? No, no, no, no, no and no.
To understand why Ms. Ingraham has a point, let’s take a trip to San Diego, California, where you can catch Los Tucanes de Tijuana playing the San Diego County Fair in summer.
Venezuela is in crisis mode, its currency tanking, its oil-rich vastness a waste of socialist rule, its peoples desperate for even the most basic of human necessities. And this is where the young Democrats and progressives of America would like to head.
Socialism, of all discarded economic systems, is sending shock waves across the political landscape in dark tones as Democratic candidates in the midterm congressional elections pitch their proposals for improving the nation's economy, which is already looking pretty good. Economics, the dismal science, seldom excites the pulse but everyone has an interest in what's in his wallet. More than banners and promises from "progressives" will be required to persuade voters that harsh government beats free enterprise.
I am the son of non-U.S.-citizen parents who proudly said to me many times over, "That beautiful piece of red, white and blue hanging off that pole is your flag, not ours." During renditions of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with their right hands over their hearts. Those not in uniform should remove their head coverings with their right hands and hold them at their left shoulders, over their hearts. Persons in uniform should render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and hold this position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed.
Whence comes justice in the federal bureaucracy? When will Hillary Clinton be brought to justice for storing and exposing classified information on her private, unauthorized file server? When will she be held accountable for her pay-to-play ploy in the Uranium One transaction, whereby her unique role as secretary of State allowed Russia to rob 20 percent of American uranium stocks in exchange for huge donations to the Clinton Foundation and garnered her husband exorbitant speaking fees?
History doesn't care. Learning recently that a warship named for my ancestor was lost in solo combat off Guadalcanal -- sunk in minutes by Japanese planes that left sailors swimming with sharks for three days and claimed 233 American lives -- I could find only one comparison: The famous sinking of USS Indianapolis on July 30, 1945.
How will you react when an amateur team -- perhaps your favorite or alma mater - decides to sit out rather than suit up? What will you think about the players who choose to take a stand rather than take the field?
It must be summer re-run season on cable news and social media as prominent, Trump-hating journalists have returned to a common theme from earlier this year: "The president is mentally incapacitated and the 25th amendment must be invoked!"
Bill Maher, on his recent "Real Time" episode on HBO, ripped into leftists for cheering the social media booting of Alex Jones -- something which even his liberal mind looked at as a chilling path toward tyranny and clamped free speech. Democrats would do well to pay attention.
You know John Brennan's gone too far in his anti-President Donald Trump rhetoric when even fellow anti-Trumping intel types begin to take him to task.
For all the moms and dads reading the paper in the quiet of the morning as you sip that first cup of coffee, let this be the day.
