Pete Buttigieg reveals left’s long-term plan to kill Electoral College

Democrats, for some time, have been pressing the end of the Electoral College because it stands in the way of their plans for total leftist takeover of America's political world. But 'lest you think this is a phase -- Pete Buttigieg made clear: For Democrats, this is a long-term goal.

Abortion is not a ‘business’

It's a tad tinny-eared for 180 or so leading company executives to get together and sign a letter in The New York Times to say America's emerging abortion protections for the unborn are "bad for business." Yes? It's sort of in the vein of saying border laws were bad for Pablo Escobar's business.

In a Feb. 12, 2014, file photo, Rep. Steve Hurst, R-Munford, watches the discussion on the House floor in the Alabama Statehouse in Montgomery, Ala. Alabama lawmakers have approved legislation that would require certain sex offenders to be chemically castrated before being released on parole. The Alabama bill, sponsored by Mr. Hurst, would require sex offenders whose crimes involved children younger than 13 to receive the medication before being released from prison on parole. They would then be required to continue the medication until a judge decided they could stop. (Mickey Welsh/Montgomery Advertiser via AP)

Alabama’s new castration law for child molesters a strong pro-child stance

Alabama's Republican governor, Kay Ivey, just signed into law a measure that allows the state to chemically castrate certain child sex offenders as a condition of their paroles. As imagined, the American Civil Liberties Union is aghast. But this is a good thing. The message is: Children matter.

Impeach Donald Trump at civil peril

Democrats have set their 2020 course on Impeach Trump, Prosecute Trump, and frankly, this is how it's going to be the next several months. But this road, at its farthest point, doesn't end well. There is no way President Donald Trump's base will stand quietly as Democrats sacrifice all that's law and order for political gains.

Male masquerading as female steals another female trophy

This weekend, yet another male -- defined as an individual who was assigned by God at birth as a boy, not a girl, the only other sex option that exists -- took home the top place trophy for his competition in the female hurdler event. The political powers expect this male to be called a female, as he wishes. But that would be a lie.

Democrats go dumpster diving for William Barr contempt

So Democrats finally formally introduced what they've been threatening to introduce for weeks now: their latest lame-road attempt to derail President Donald Trump's presidency. They call it a contempt resolution.

New York Times delusion: We’re ‘in no way anti-Trump’

One of the editors for The New York Times, Deputy Managing Editor Rebecca Blumenstein, said at a FT Future of News event -- the FT for its sponsor, the Financial Times -- that no way, no how is her Gray Lady paper unfairly biased against President Donald Trump. Delusional? Methinks so.

George Will’s off-mark likening of GOP, post-Trump, as ‘cult’

Perennial anti-President Donald Trumper and prolific writer George Will has penned a new book, "The Conservative Sensibility" -- and guess what: It's about the dire direction the Republican Party has taken post-Trump. Once again, Will's off base, off mark, off the reservation.

In this June 5, 2019, photo, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif., speaks to reporters at the Capitol in Washington. The political clock is a significant factor in whether majority House Democrats launch any impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.

Nancy Pelosi’s ‘prison’ wish for Donald Trump just pigheaded politicking

If Democrats are supposed to be the party of tolerance and diversity and acceptance, then Speaker Nancy Pelosi isn't exactly the best rep. An example? Calling for "prison" for the president, for example, just doesn't seem in line with opening doors of communications to accomplish legislative agendas -- also called Doing Your Job.

The good news about America’s floundering morals

Gallup just reported that more and more Americans are seeing a society that's going to the pot, rotting away in a low-moral morass and that oh me, oh my, the times are only changing for the worse. In a way, that's good news.

Mayor Sadiq Khan’s knife control ain’t looking so good

A woman in London has been arrested for stabbing to "death" a blimp mockup of President Donald Trump with what authorities believe was a small pair of cutting shears. And this is curious because London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim to take on a mayoral role in a major Western city, has banned the carrying of knives.

Paul Manafort’s new Black Lives Matter friend

Paul Manafort, scourge of Robert Mueller's special counsel investigators -- a.k.a. Deep State anti-Donald Trumpers, in White House and political truth-telling circles, that is -- has been sent to Rikers Island, the place where prisoners go to be abused. The place where even BLM activist Shaun King says he doesn't belong.

U.N. human rights mouth actually calls U.S. abortion laws ‘torture’

Talk about a low culture moment. Kate Gilmore, the U.N. deputy high commissioner for human rights, in an interview with The Guardian, called out America's restrictions on abortion as "torture" and examples of "extremist hate." Come again? "This is a crisis," she said. "It's a crisis directed at women." Oh. My. Gosh.

Donald Trump shoo-in for reelection, says historian with record of being right

President Donald Trump is on a fast-track slide to a second administration, says one historian whose opinion matters because he's correctly predicted the outcomes of the previous nine White House runs. No wonder the Democrats are ramping up, rather than abandoning, the "impeach, impeach, impeach" rhetoric. It's panic time.

Venezuela admits — finally — economic collapse

Venezuela, the country the left had loved to showcase as a good example of what socialism could be -- until it started crashing and burning, that is, and then suddenly, the message from the left was that Venezuela wasn't a socialist nation at all -- has now openly admitted its economy is indeed, crashing and burning. Do tell.

Robert Mueller hits, Robert Mueller runs

In this whole theatrical performance called "Impeach, Impeach, Impeach" that the Democrats have been playing since heir apparent Hillary Clinton went down in flames to Donald Trump, Robert Mueller's special counsel report was the main act. It was to be the a-ha moment to unseat Trump from the White House. But it failed. Miserably.
