Nikki Haley, Israel’s best friend in years

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley told a listening American Israel Public Affairs Committee audience -- and a no-doubt listening set of anti-Israel U.N. players -- that she was sick and tired of the globalists at the global body hitting unfairly at the Jewish state. It must come as at least a small comfort that America, once again, has the tiny country's back.

Scientists race to finish line for AI that reads human minds

In "Black Mirror," a Netflix series about a futuristic world moved by high-tech, scientists have found a way to peer inside human minds -- to surveil their thoughts to separate truth from lies. Well move over, TV watchers. This scenario is now a case of fiction finding reality.

Gun control stalls as cooler heads stand strong

Ahh, the beauty of a democratic-republic where laws outlast whim and the three separate branches of government serve as checks and balances upon each other. It's because of this Founding Father genius that gun control measures aimed at stopping law-abiding Americans from exercising their Second Amendment rights aren't going anywhere in Congress right now.

Donald Trump’s rocky anti-gun reelection road

President Donald Trump just announced plans to seek reelection in 2020, and as such, appointed digital guru Brad Parscale as his campaign chief. Well and good. But if Trump doesn't reel in his gun-control rhetoric, conservatives aren't going to back him for long.

Americans, nearly half, say universal basic income makes good AI sense

Nearly half of Americans support universal basic income to offset jobs lost to robots and artificial intelligence, according to a new Gallup poll. That means nearly half of Americans support using tax dollars to pay people for being alive.

Condoleezza Rice’s brilliant defense of guns

Condoleezza Rice told the largely liberal panel and audience of "The View" on ABC that had it not been for guns, her family and her neighbors would've suffered even more during the segregated society that was in place in her youth in the South. Bam. That's it in a nutshell -- this is why founders saw fit to put in place a Second Amendment. It wasn't a right to hunt they were defending; it was a God-given right to protect one's self and one's family from harm. And specifically: from harm from the government.

Walmart bans sales of toy guns

Walmart, not to be outdone by Dick's Sporting Goods, has jumped aboard the gun ban trade and sent out a corporate letter that makes clear its own stores would be restricting sales of firearms and ammunition to those above age 21. And with a sort of "oh yeah, how 'bout this" flip of the ace card, Walmart also announced it was barring sales of toy guns, too. Toy guns. Really now, is this where we are as a society?

Dick’s egregious if ‘even one life is saved’ gun control lie

Dick's Sporting Goods announced that its stores would no longer sell "assault-style" weapons and nobody under the age of 21 would be allowed to purchase firearms of any kind. But why insult the intelligence of the American people in the process? Why justify the move by using a tired leftist argument that goes like this: If only one life can be saved -- then fill in the blank?

Don Young: If Jews had guns, they wouldn’t have burned

Alaska's Republican congressman, Don Young, suggested during a speech that touched on gun control that if Jews during Adolf Hitler days in Germany had been armed, they wouldn't have been put in the ovens and killed. His words, predictably enough, generated outcry among the snowflakes on the left. But why? Tyrants and dictators hate guns in the hands of their citizenry for a reason.

Americans by and large blame government, not guns

When it comes to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, the majority of Americans point fingers for the fault at the government, not the guns. This is one small ray of sunshine out of a very, very dark well. It shows sanity can and does prevail, even when chaos and hot emotion swirls.

San Diego college teaches how to boot Trump from office

San Diego State University is offering a one-credit course to college-goers on how they might boot President Donald Trump from office. And with that, the demise of America's once-great places of higher learning, once-unrivaled training grounds for critical thinking, is nearly complete.

Michael Savage for Senate? He says — maybe

Talk radio genius Michael Savage may be running for U.S. Senate. He'd run on the same borders, language, culture message that's made him a must-hear on talk radio -- the one that says a country's just not a country if it doesn't focus policy on preserving those three biggies.

Self-driving cars may be the science world’s dream, but premise is flawed

Self-driving cars have become the dream of the science world. But why? If citizen safety is the justification for the development, which is it, there are so many other options that haven't been pursued that don't call for the booting of humans from behind the wheel.

Libby Schaaf, Oakland mayor, underscores why Democrats are nuts

By now, you've probably heard about the Oakland, California, mayor, Democrat Libby Schaaf, who actually sent out a warning to her city -- to her city's illegals, mostly -- about a looming potential raid from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Well, that right there is why Democrats are insane.

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel too glib for his own good

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel coming off as a someone who's hunkering into self-protection mode, putting his own interests above those of others and trying at all costs to salvage his reputation and that of his department's. It's not a pretty picture.

Secularism isn’t working

Seventeen students and staffers are dead at a Florida high school, and now the country's on fire, debating both merits and dangers of curbing Second Amendment rights in what's become the predictable political and policy talk whenever tragedy strikes in this manner. Guns are not the problem, though. Secularism is.

NRA likened by Hollywood leftist to ISIS — to a ‘terrorist organization’

Just when you thought the rhetoric surrounding gun control couldn't get any more hyperbolic -- here comes Michael Moore, out of Hollywood's left field of fantasy dwellers. "The NRA," Moore wrote on Twitter, "is a terrorist organization." How so? Well, he went on, it's like ISIS -- just like the dang ISIS.

Deputy Scot Peterson hid while students were shot — and this is police training?

A disturbing report from Fox News shows the deputy who was supposed to be armed and on the job at Marjory Stoneham Douglas High School -- the one who was there as the killings were taking place -- was hiding behind a concrete column, protecting not the students but rather himself. That's all caught on surveillance video; it's not a what-if. And one can't help but wonder: Is this the unfortunate result of all the police policies put forth in recent times that the number one goal of officers tasked to a scene is to get home safely?

Kamala Harris vows fight against guns just getting started

Sen. Kamala Harris, who was named and blasted as a socialist by the National Rifle Association's Wayne LaPierre during his Conservative Political Action Conference speech, fought back on Twitter, vowing the fight to reshape the nation and curb the Second Amendment was just getting started.

Donald Trump: Armed teachers ‘GREAT DETERRENT!’

President Donald Trump hit back on Twitter at what he called the "Fake News" for improperly quoting him on his views of armed teachers in the classroom, saying he didn't say "give teachers guns" but rather, in more levelheaded fashion, agreed to consider the idea as a means of stopping school shootings. And so he should. Allowing teachers with concealed carry permits to bring their legally owned weapons into the classroom is one tool to fight school-place murders -- and, not only that, it's a promise this president made during campaign season.
