Boston mulls banning b-word after woman cries of hurt feelings

A Democrat serving Boston has successfully pushed forward for vote a bill aimed at banning use of the b-word -- rhymes with ditch, hitch and, Happy Halloween to the kiddies, witch. Well now, at the risk of leading the city of the original freedom fighting tea partier down another path of censorship -- holy sh--. (Rhymes with twit.)

CAIR spins bogus anti-Trump web, as Nigerian boys suffer Islamic abuse

A few weeks ago, authorities in Nigeria uncovered hundreds of cases of horrendous abuse of boys at so-called Islamic reform schools, "Almajiris" -- abuse so wicked it was described by one local law enforcement official as tantamount to "modern slavery. But don't expect CAIR National to do much about it.

Mitt Romney’s pathetic ‘Pierre Delecto’ shame

Mitt Romney, once upon a time -- once upon a Massachusetts time when his barely Republican credential stood apart from the multitude of liberals as something of a fresh difference -- used to have a political career. Now he's the butt of jokes. And honestly, this is something he's brought upon himself.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff, of Calif., speaks to the media as he returns to a closed-door meeting where Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland is being interviewed as part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, Oct. 17, 2019.

Adam Schiff, old ‘shifty’ eyes, facing GOP censure fire

House GOPers are forcing a vote on Rep. Adam Schiff's censure. What good will that do? Likely: Little. The House is Democratic-controlled and honestly, censuring someone as "shifty" as Schiff, as Rep. Jody Hice calls him, would have about as much effect on controlling his anti-Donald Trump behavior as pelting him with marshmallows.

Tulsi Gabbard may be anti-Hillary Clinton, but she’s still far-left fringe

Democratic candidate for president Tulsi Gabbard, in a widely watched Twitter-posted YouTube video, condemned the "rich, powerful" gang of elites who surround Hillary Clinton and demand Democrats either "toe the line" or stay silent. That's good. But let's remember: Gabbard is a far-left progressive; no friend of conservatives.

Lindsey Graham speaks the obvious — and the press goes nuts

Sen. Lindsey Graham said "sure," he'd support impeachment of Donald Trump -- if in fact it were shown the president had committed an impeachable offense, that is. And from that, all the anti-Trumpers in the media went: One of Trump's biggest supporters wants to impeach! This is a classic example of bias masked as news.

(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)

NBA losing money — and well it should

The NBA's commissioner Adam Silver said that China had pressed for the firing of Rockets general manager Daryl Morey -- for the crime of publicly supporting freedom-fighting protesters in Hong Kong -- and that the league, as part of the fallout for siding with the reds over the red, white and blues, has been losing money.

Chicago teachers: for themselves, not the children

Teachers in Chicago, where their median pay is $75,000, have called for a strike for more money, lower health care costs and smaller class sizes -- all while leaving 300,000 district school children in limbo. This is not about "justice," or the students. This is about teachers, at the promptings of union heads, getting more for themselves.

Democrats huff, puff, bluff and blow, but impeachment falls down

Democrats, who've done nothing but call for impeachment since 2016, who've done nothing but stage an "impeachment inquiry" that allows them to skirt normal processes of transparency while keeping the "I-word" alive and fresh in the press, have suddenly decided they don't need no stinkin' vote.

Atheist ad during Democrats’ debate mocks ‘burning in hell’

In between the first and second hour of the Democratic Party's presidential debate in Ohio was a brief commercial from the Freedom From Religion Foundation calling for watchers to remember that secularism was a founding father plan for America's government from the get-go and that those who say differently are, well -- uninformed.

Democrats swing big at CNN’s ‘impeach Trump’ softballs

At the fourth Democratic Party presidential debate in Ohio, moderator Cooper opened the floor with a softball question about impeachment -- after which he made clear all 12 on stage would have an opportunity to address. Play ball, he said. And play they did.

Valerie Jarrett gets down with the common folk

Valerie Jarrett, the fabled White House whisperer of Barack Obama's administration, has stepped from the shadows to press this current batch of Democratic Party 2020 candidates to please, oh please, remember the women-folk. Title this "That Time Valerie Jarrett Got Down With The Common People." And insert LOLs here.

Franklin Graham to Beto O’Rourke: Bible is ‘truth’ — you’re not

World-renowned Christian evangelist Franklin Graham responded to Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke's recent push for churches to perform same-sex unions or face the loss of their tax-exempt status with this blunt statement: No. Go, Billy. There's a whole country of Christians who think the same.

Johnny Depp stars as the Mad Hatter in Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment's Alice in Wonderland in this file photo.

Democrats descend into Wonderland-like lunacy

If Democrats are Alice, and the rabbit hole represents a descent into Wonderland-like lunacy, then those on the left have certainly been picking up speed in their fall to the bottom for some time now. Watch out, Mr. Hatter. There's competition for that there madness.

Donald Trump talks freedom, Democrats push communism

Riot police were called to the scene of President Donald Trump's rally in Minneapolis to stem the surge of violence the left unleashed against MAGA hat wearers -- and journalists -- and public and private properties. And all while in the background waved flags from communist countries. That really says all that needs to be said.

Fox News’ ‘Impeach Trump’ poll a bit on the schizo side

A widely reported poll from Fox News puts national favor for an impeachment of President Donald Trump at 51%. But this same poll then asks participants to name their favorite among a list of people -- to express either favorable or unfavorable opinion of each -- and guess who wins in a field of nine? Trump. Schizophrenia, anyone?
