Roy Moore loss not a commentary on Donald Trump

Roy Moore may have denied all the sexual misconduct and harassment charges that plagued his long and dark campaign -- but apparently, voters couldn't move past the shadows, and Democrat Doug Jones won. Democrats are no doubt poised to spin the Moore loss as some sort of stunning commentary on President Donald Trump. But that'd be folly.

Investors flush with $26 trillion to strong-arm corporations on climate change

Beware. President Donald Trump may have put a stop to America's participation in the Paris accord, citing its burdensome regulatory climate change mandates and cost-hiking economic downers. But a plot afoot at the Paris climate summit would moot Trump's action and make most of America a participant in the accord, anyway.

Jimmy Kimmel’s shameless cart of kid to stage as political prop

Jimmy Kimmel, who'd been missing in action from work for a week, made a triumphant return to the late-night stage with his little 7-month-old son Billy, who'd just finished with a long heart surgery ordeal. That'd be fine -- touching even -- if Kimmel hadn't then took a slight turn down Propaganda Lane and started preaching the pros of taxpayer-funded health care and cons of the conservatives who still resist it.

Colleges push hard for Christ-free Christmases

College administrators around the country, it seems, are rushing to acquiesce to even the most minor of voices on campuses to make sure the "C" word -- that's "C" for Christmas, shhh! -- doesn't cause angst in some offended student's ears. Basically, they're driving hard to drive out the reason for the season, Jesus Christ.

New York City terror, the ‘new normal’ for America

New York City was in rush-hour chaos Monday, as an ISIS-inspired terrorist detonated an improvised explosive device -- a pipe bomb affixed to his body with wire tie-type fasteners -- in the heavily traveled Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan. And with that, officials started selling the idea that this is now part of American life.

Donald Trump accusers band to demand Congress investigate

The scores of women who've accused President Donald Trump of sexual harassment have banded together to demand Congress look into their accusations. Let them be heard. They have a right to speak out as much as the next person.

Roy Moore: ‘It’s God’s will whatever happens.’ Wrong

Alabama Senate hopeful Roy Moore's race is about ended -- and thank goodness. Make no mistake, the guy will win. But at what cost to the country?

On Jerusalem, let ‘em rage

Let the moaners moan, the wailers wail, Trump was right to recognize the obvious: Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.

Joe Arpaio mulls run at Sen. Jeff Flake’s seat

Former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the law enforcer who raised the hackles, to put it mildly, of the Eric Holder-esque social justice crowd, announced in an interview with The Daily Beast that he's seriously considering a run at Jeff Flake's Senate seat. Why not -- Jeff won't need it.

Germany, overrun, paying migrants to go home

Germany apparently is so overrun with migrants that government geniuses -- the same ones who opened the doors wide to mass migration in the first place -- are now paying them big bucks to take a hike and go home. So much for bleeding heart amnesty, yes?

Delaware parents show teeth and halt gender self-ID in tracks

Parents in Delaware, apparently tired of the ridiculousness, took on education bureaucrats and told them, in no uncertain terms -- and on the wings of 8,000-plus signed petitions -- that a rule allowing kids in grades K-12 to self-identify their sexes without parental permission or even notification, did not meet with their approval.

Jim Jordan’s masterful Judiciary performance

Show me the application, dude -- that was the underlying demand from Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan to FBI director Chris Wray during a House Judiciary hearing to determine a little bit more about Peter Strozk, the just-fired Robert Mueller attack dog.

Lindsey Vonn’s galling Olympian-size diss of Donald Trump

Lindsey Vonn, whose name is known within the sports world for Olympic gold medal skiing and without, for dating Tiger Woods, took some serious potshots at the president en route to this February's winter games in Pyeongchang. And in so doing, she pretty much slammed the country that elected Donald Trump -- the country she's supposed to be representing in the Olympics.

Pope Francis, of all people, moans move to Jerusalem

You'd think the pope at least might be in President Donald Trump's court on the whole Tel Aviv-versus-Jerusalem thing -- the announced move of the U.S. Embassy from the former to the latter and the ensuing recognition of the latter as Israel's true capital. After all, the guy's the voice of the Catholic Church. If anyone might rise above lowly human politics to side with the spiritual on this matter, it'd be Pope Francis, yes?

Nancy Pelosi’s idea of ‘Armageddon’ is a GOP tax bill

Armageddon, biblically speaking, is the sign of the end of times -- the be-all and end-all of battles, the one that pits good against evil and ushers in a period of humanly devastations unlike any ever before experienced. But to Nancy Pelosi, the House's highest-ranking Democrat, Armageddon is the Republican tax bill.

Supreme Court travel ban ruling a return to reason

Citizens from Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Chad -- terror hotspots, all -- and North Korea, as well as segments of Venezuela, are now barred from entering the United States, thanks to a Supreme Court ruling on President Donald Trump's executive attempt to secure the nation and stop the flow of potential terrorists across the borders. Finally, a court ruling with reason.

Colin Kaepernick, bogus hero of the left

Colin Kaepernick is riding high, having just won the Sports Illustrated Muhammad Ali Legacy Award as well as the American Civil Liberties Union's Eason Monroe Courageous Advocate Award -- honors bestowed, respectively, for sportsmanship and bravery. But Kaepernick is possessed of neither. He's more a tool -- a tool of false leftist beliefs.

Donald Trump shrinks national monuments — and with it, Barack Obama’s legacy

President Trump took to the road to travel to Utah to announce a historic rollback of the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments. And in so doing, he put a serious damper on the legacies of both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Insert cheer here.

Michael Flynn not the smoking gun

The left, including much of the media, are going nuts now, drooling at Michael Flynn's guilty plea as if it's the final nail in President Donald Trump's coffin -- the long-sought means to the impeachment end. It's not. That's ludicrous. And the more hours that tick since Flynn announced his guilty plea, the more ludicrous the left's wild-eyed panting seems.

Mitch McConnell’s abrupt softening on Roy Moore

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made a rather sudden turn on his opinion of Roy Moore, telling George Stephanopoulos on "This Week" on ABC News that it's the people of Alabama -- not Washington, D.C. -- who should decide the outcome of this Dec. 12 race for Jeff Sessions' old Senate seat. That, after longtime, long-running, very vocal calls for Moore to step aside. Principle, anyone?
