Laura Ingraham run through shredder of lying national media

Fox News host Laura Ingraham sparked massive backlash around the country when she opened a monologue by calling for the lynching of all black people, the gunning down of illegals at the border, the ripping of little brown-faced babies from their mommas -- "not gringos," she called them -- and the chicken cage incarceration of any documented citizen that couldn't produce proof of membership in either the KKK or the NRA. Oh wait. She didn't really. My bad. But in the twisted minds of the left, she might as well have.

Title VII solution for social media censorship

All this social media censorship talk that's been fueling conservative angst in recent months has had the distressing effect of putting the ideological right exactly where the left wants it -- in a regulatory box with nowhere to go. The solution? The ideological right needs to create a new battlefield. How about Title VII of the Civil Rights Act?

Jack Dorsey, Twitter CEO: We don’t ‘shadowban’ conservatives — ‘period’

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said in a radio show reported by The Hill that his company does not engage in shadow banning of conservative voices -- "period." Case closed, move on, nothing to see here, "period." Oh, but au contraire, says none other than the president of the United States.

Rashida Tlaib, Michigan’s Muslim in the House, a crown jewel of anti-Donald Trumpism

Rashida Tlaib is poised to become the first Muslim woman elected to Congress. She's also massively anti-President Donald Trump, and that, combined with her gender, her religious beliefs and her progressive leanings, makes her the new darling of the Democratic Party, the new speed dial on mainstream media's approved list of political pundits.

Alex Jones is Michael Savage — is John and Jane Q. American

First came Alex Jones, and the outright booting of his Infowars news product from several top social media sites. Then came headlines of Sebastian Gorka, facing a so-called "soft ban" at Fox News. But really, radio rock star Michael Savage has them both beat. He's been banned by Britain; booted from various markets. And all that -- despite the fact he's a top ratings draw, a major market asset, a proven voice who's weathered many a storm.

Chris Murphy, Democratic senator, a classic case of what’s wrong with politicians

Sen. Chris Murphy just made national headlines for suggesting that social media giants like Facebook and YouTube shouldn't stop at Alex Jones and Infowars, but rather go forward and censor, censor, censor until all signs of objectionable speech are removed from the Internet. Here's a guy who doesn't belong in political office.

A.I. leaders (naively) vow no lethal autonomous weapons

More than 160 companies with divisions dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence just signed on to a pledge to "neither participate in nor support the development, manufacture, trade, or use of lethal autonomous weapons," or LAWS, the text states. That's nice; very peace-keeping-ish. But that's also a bit naive.

Alex Jones takedown makes him martyr of censorship cause

Alex Jones of Infowars has been booted from YouTube, Apple, Spotify and Facebook for what the tech giants consider his rampant hate speech. And with that, Jones has become the face of the censorship fight. This seems counterproductive to those who would silence him, yes?

Making sense of Ana Navarro and other fake conservatives

Ana Navarro is about as much a conservative as Barack Obama is a potato. At the risk of being misunderstood, that's to say -- not. Yet Navarro happily masquerades as CNN's token Conservative in the House pundit.

NAACP to sell Donald Trump as racist to score election points

The NAACP has found the Democratic Party's new campaign message -- and land ho, it's all about President Donald Trump's so-called racism. Guess Nancy Pelosi's "Resistance" and Maxine Waters' "Impeach" weren't working so well.

Donald Trump, unlike Barack Obama — not a food stamp president

Barack Obama was dubbed the food stamp president -- and for good reason. President Donald Trump is anything but.

Would you hire this face? Facial recognition technology says — maybe not.

To test Biometric Mirror's biases, and to see how artificial intelligence might rate my personality based on a snapshot fed into facial recognition software, I submitted a photo to Wouters for analysis. The findings were inaccurate, to say the least.

This war on the Bible must stop

America's colonists were predominantly English -- predominantly Catholic or Protestant -- and that meant their book of worship, no matter how you slice it, was the Bible. So it's not just disconcerting on the Christian front to see the war being waged in this country against public shows of the Bible. It's actually historical revisionism.

Jim Acosta, CNN: Maybe journalists should march and chant, ‘We’re not the enemy of the people’

Jim Acosta of CNN fame -- the guy who just suffered a rather rude chant of "CNN sucks" while trying to broadcast live from President Donald Trump's rally in Tampa, Florida -- went on a rather wild rant with fellow CNNer Brooke Baldwin about this White House's characterization of the press as the enemy of the people. And in short: He shouldn't have.

Donald Trump’s approval numbers put Barack Obama’s to shame

A new poll from Rasmussen Reports -- the same outlet that correctly predicted the Electoral College winner of the November 2016 presidential election -- finds that 50 percent of likely U.S. voters approve of President Donald Trump's job performance. That's more than Barack Obama touted at this time in his own presidential history.

Donald Trump v. MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough enters Round 80

President Donald Trump sent out a mocking tweet against MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program, calling it a "dead show" that's dying in the ratings. And shortly after, show co-host Joe Scarborough ripped back, in essence, Oh, yeah?

Chloe Wright, Massachusetts madwoman, arrested for plowing into MAGA car

This is how crazy the left has become. Chloe Wright, a 25-year-old Massachusetts woman, was driving in Hyannis when she came across a vehicle displaying a pro-President Donald Trump bumper sticker. And the sticker made her so angry, she smashed her car into it, according to local media and police reports.

Donald Trump’s winning 2020 slogan: ‘I’m Not a Socialist’

If Donald Trump wants to win the presidency again, his 2020 campaign slogan ought to be "Vote Trump -- I'm Not a Socialist." That's only partially tongue-in-cheek. This socialism-in-America thing is getting out of control.

Millennials ranked as worst tippers, and no wonder — they’re socialists

A recent CreditCards.com survey shows millennials, or those between the ages of 18 and 37, are the worst tippers in the nation. Really, that's not a surprise. This is the same group of people who'd rather live in socialist, fascist or communist nations than a capitalistic one, according to different surveys.

Fox News — sorry CNN — wins big in trust test with watchers

Fox News -- sorry CNN -- has come in second, behind the BBC, in terms of winning the trust of American television news watchers, according to a new analysis. You think this has anything to do with all the "fake news" outing that's been going on lately, most noticeably by President Donald Trump? No doubt. Americans aren't stupid -- or without choices
