Eric Holder anti-gun ‘Operation Choke Point’ redux hits New York

Remember when Eric Holder, Barack Obama's attorney general-slash-political-pitbull, went after gun sellers by going after the banks who did business with them -- the old Operation Choke Point moment in the so-called "scandal-free Obama administration" time? Well here comes New York with a similarly sly gun control scheme.

IRS smackdown, as judge OKs $3.5 million to tea partyers

Oh, happy day. Once in a while, justice is served, the good guy does win and the Big Bad Wolf at the Little American's door gets the kick in the arse it deserves. The Internal Revenue Service was just smacked with a preliminary order from a federal judge to pay up $3.5 million in settlement monies to tea party and conservative groups.

Private property rights still very much a fight, circa 2018

President Donald Trump, a guy whose business life obviously revolved around the invocation of personal property rights, may hold the nation's highest office in the White House, and Republicans may dominate in Congress. But that doesn't mean the little guy has won. When it comes to private property rights, the Republican-dominated Congress is letting the ball drop.

Nasim Aghdam’s YouTube scrub and Donald Trump Jr.’s good question

Donald Trump Jr. sent out a blunt tweet about the scrubbing of YouTube shooter Nasim Aghdam's social media accounts, asking why her hate-filled rants were so quickly pulled, and wondering aloud if authorities would've acted with such speed had she been a member of the National Rifle Association member rather than a liberal activist and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals supporter. He has a point. And it's actually larger than the one he was making.

Mike Lindell, MyPillow guy, puts to shame Laura Ingraham boycotters

Mike Lindell, of "MyPillow" inventing and founding company fame, put forth a bold message on his Twitter feed that, in just a few short words, smacked to shame-land the would-be fascists and wanna-be censors of the world who've been demanding Laura Ingraham's head on a Fox News platter. Listen up, all you boycotting businesses: This is how it's done.

Parkland students, police state style, back in school

Parkland, Florida, students returned to school, post-shooting, to receive their newest mandated accessories: clear backpacks and identification badges, and a line of security checks. They're not happy about it. And they have a point. But then again, they don't. The clamp-down on freedoms these students are now suffering is pretty much what some of them have been trying to inflict on the entirety of America is recent weeks.

Left will have to soften or self-destruct

The left has overreached on gun control -- on using the Parkland, Florida, shooting horror as a crisis political tool -- and the only way out is to walk back the tough talk and soften on anti-Second Amendment and anti-free speech rhetoric, or self-destruct.

Larry Elder’s brilliant expose of David Hogg-Laura Ingraham hullabaloo hypocrisy

It's been several days since Fox News host Laura Ingraham offered an apology to student gun control activist David Hogg for characterizing him as whiney on Twitter. And it's been a couple of days since Hogg told Ingraham, via national television, sorry, your apology is unacceptable -- and now you must denounce your employer or face the continued wrath of calls for advertiser boycott. Well, the battle lines have been drawn anew.

New York Magazine sideswipes Donald Trump with pig snout portrayal

No, really, New York Magazine, tell us how you feel. The April 2 edition of the magazine shows the broadly smiling face of President Donald Trump with a massive pig snout as a nose. Cue "Twilight Zone" music and imagine, if you will, a magazine cover of the broadly smiling Barack Obama with a huge pig nose. Is that OK? Just a sidebar to consider.

Yes, there is a hell — and thank God for that

Yes, indeed, there is a hell, a place where unrepentant souls go for eternal suffering. And really, thank God for that -- because without a hell, there'd be no heaven.

Army basic training, lame for years, finally poised to toughen

The Army is reportedly mulling a toughening of basic training standards so recruits are better equipped to face the rigors of combat. This is a good idea -- an about time idea, in fact.

Fear factor or not, the robotic dentists are coming

A new survey says dental patients, by and large, don't want to see a white-coated robot wielding a drill any time soon -- but they will take a 'bot before human for certain procedures, particularly if it saves them money. A robot as dentist? Hmm. Not a bad idea -- unless, of course, you're one of the bazillions of the world who absolutely fears the dentist chair.

Donald Trump’s rising popularity only confounding to elites

President Donald Trump's approval numbers have just jumped. And it's not that difficult to see why. This is the direct fallout of positive White House economic moves coupled with rebound resistance to the overreach of the media and political left to paint Trump as all that ails the world.

#ProLifeWalkout a tit for tat to the left

Move over left. And be silent and accommodating -- at least as accommodating as for the "March For Our Lives" walk-outs. A #ProlifeWalkout, started by a 17-year-old California student named Brandon Gillespie, is now set for April 11 at spots around the nation.

Sorry, ‘Senadora’ Dianne Feinstein, sorry CAIR: Trump’s census switch not ‘white supremacist’

What a hullabaloo President Donald Trump's decision to add a citizenship question back to the census survey has created. And why? Simply this: Because the left knows that illegals might fear filling out the census if they have to check off illegal on the citizenship box. And that means fewer dollars for Democratic leaning communities -- as well as possibly, fewer Democratic voices in Congress.

Democrats, 39 percent, do indeed want to repeal Second Amendment

Fully 21 percent of Americans and 39 percent of Democrats think a repeal of the Second Amendment is sane. That's according to a poll taken back in February by the Economist/YouGov. Founding Fathers warned that an uneducated citizenry would never be able to maintain a republic. Well, here we are.

Planned Parenthood affiliate hits new low with tweet at Disney crowd

The Planned Parenthood of Keystone in Pennsylvania, put up a tweet -- and rapidly deleted it -- that called for Disney movie makers to include a princess character who's had an abortion. It takes a twisted mind to go this low. And the $1.3 trillion omnibus just passed by Republicans funded this vicious agency?

John Paul Stevens, ex-SCOTUS justice, shocks with call to repeal 2nd Amendment

File this under Holy Cow -- a former justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is actually out and about calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment. Who? None other than John Paul Stevens, who served from 1975 to 2010.

Jimmy Carter’s distaste for John Bolton a good sign

So former President Jimmy Carter can't stand John Bolton as national security adviser -- and that's supposed to be a concern? Listen up. Any member of government who deals with foreign policy who receives a thumbs-down from Carter is golden. It's only when Carter approves that we should worry.
