‘Impeachment inquiry,’ a pre-crime for the ages

A 2002 movie called "Minority Report" featured a 2054 society where members of a specialized police force called PreCrime searched out and arrested suspects who were identified by psychics as poised to commit vicious crimes. This is how the Democrats' and Nancy Pelosi's "impeachment inquiry" into President Donald Trump rings.

The BBC is facing a backlash after finding one of its presenters in breach of its editorial guidelines on impartiality for comments that were critical of U.S. President Donald Trump. Journalists and celebrities are demanding the BBC overturn its decision, expressing support for BBC Breakfast anchor Naga Munchetty, who was discussing Trump’s remark on July 17 that four female American lawmakers should return to the “broken and crime infested places from which they came.’’ (AP Photo/Evan Vucci, file)

Donald Trump, enemy of the globalists

Donald Trump, like him or hate him, agree with him or disagree with him, fact is, when it comes to disrupting political norms, he's king. Trump's opened eyes onto a corrupt U.S. intel machine.

Elizabeth Warren, unabashed liar

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who's seen a bit of a boom in polls for president lately, came forward with a statement about President Donald Trump's whistleblower affair that if nothing else, serves as a classic textbook example of How Liars Lie. The unabashed ones, anyway.

‘Impeach Trump’ preceded even Donald Trump’s nomination

Democrats, along with others, have been talking about impeaching Donald Trump since before he even took office. Before he was ever the American people's elected one. And curiously enough, shockingly enough, before he was even the Republican Party's chosen one.

Barack Obama, the real king of the quid pro quo

Funny how after eight years of Barack Obama quid pro quo-ing here, there and everywhere, it's only now Democrats care. It's only with President Donald Trump that they suddenly see corruption in politics, even when no corruption in politics exists.

Democrats, on impeachment, put cart before horse

If Democrats truly believed they had a chance to impeach President Donald Trump, they wouldn't launch an impeachment inquiry -- they'd call for a vote. Right? But guess what. They did that back in July. And it failed.

Donald Trump at U.N. calls coyotes ‘vicious’ — Impeach!

President Donald Trump, in a speech before the United Nations, called out those who smuggle illegals into America -- coyotes, as they're colloquially known -- as "vicious" individuals, bent on taking advantage both financially and sexually of the poor and downtrodden. And now he must be impeached.

Bernie Sanders has the teachers in his wallet

If teachers are funding Sen. Bernie Sanders, and professors at higher places of learning are donating to socialists, then you can be sure the students they teach aren't learning anything positive about America -- or negative about socialism.

Bill Weld moves impeachment bar — to ‘death’

Bill Weld, the former governor of Massachusetts who's making a run against President Donald Trump for the Republican ticket to the White House, managed to move the old impeachment call a bit further down the delusion scale by reminding MSNBC audiences that the punishment for treason is "death." Go big or go home, right?

Donald Trump’s got his U.N. priorities straight

President Donald Trump has decided that instead of sitting through yet another -- yawn -- climate change meeting at the United Nations, he's going to discuss something that really matters, that's truly important, that's actually crucial to the world at-large: religious freedom. You go Trump. This is what matters.

Big Business helps keep America free

Sens. Elizabeth Warren and others on the left have made entire political careers out of denouncing Big Business. But America should go slow on ye olde "Hate Business" path. Not only do companies bail out plenty in need. But they also help keep America free by taking on costly responsibilities that would otherwise fall to Big Government.

U.N. staff call on U.N. to practice what it climate preaches

More than 2,000 employees of the United Nations have called on their own U.N. bosses to practice what they preach when it comes to the environment and reduce their own carbon footprints. Gasp. Might that mean the global elite would have to give up their cushy-albeit-carbon-heavy private jet travels? Indeed.

Michael Savage’s ‘hot dog summit’ with Donald Trump

Move over, beer summit. This president, Donald Trump, doesn't drink. What he does do is eat hot dogs -- and aboard Air Force One, he shared one with none other than talk radio icon Michael Savage. As far as memories go, that's a pretty cool one.

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., questions White House lawyer Steven Menashi, President Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2019. Menashi's guarded responses were frustrating at times to both Democrats and Republicans on the Judiciary panel. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) ** FILE **

Dick Durbin to fellow Democrats: Enough impeachment already

Sen. Dick Durbin, speaking about the impeach, impeach, impeach mentality of his fellow Democrats, said it's high time his fellow Democrats stepped away from the impeach, impeach, impeach mentality. Finally. A Democrat who can see the 2020 writing on the wall.

Robot priests, A.I. gods transforming the world of worship

Mindar is the name of a new priest tasked with delivering sermons and overseeing religious ceremonies at a 400-year-old Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. Mindar is not human. Mindar is a robot. And it's just the latest sign of A.I. creeping into religions around the world.

Democrats, on Brett Kavanaugh, trying to frighten future judicial picks

Here's a question: If President Donald Trump nominated you to the U.S. Supreme Court -- or to any high-ranking judicial office, for that matter -- would you seize the moment and say yes? After watching the takedown of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, both Part One and now, the emerging Part Two, no doubt for many, the answer would be no thanks.

Brett Kavanaugh impeachment call a grotesque media-Democrat smear

Two reporters for The New York Times wrote that one of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's former Yale classmate allegedly saw him "with his pants down" at a college party. And that was all campaigning Democrats needed. Away they went; impeachment, they cried.
