MIT Press publishes ‘Communism for Kids,’ the book

MIT Press, that supposed bastion of scientific thought, the place where the brainiacs flock and fly, has just put out a new book aimed at the kiddie market. It's called "Communism for Kids." What's the sequel, "Dictatorships for Dummies?"

Tina Brown laments Hillary Clinton treated like ‘Typhoid Mary’

Tina Brown, one of the leading voices behind the Women of the World Summit that just wrapped in New York City, said Hillary Clinton was right -- she was a victim of misogyny during the recent presidential election. And she said that the misogyny was so intense, Clinton was practically turned into a Typhoid Mary on the campaign trail. Well, we're already in Stupid Land, might as well look around a while.

Border battle, as leftists fight for rights of jaguar

In an act of 11th hour desperation, wildlife conservation groups have ramped up efforts to stop the building of the U.S.-Mexico border wall by claiming construction would impede the roaming of the jaguar. Umm ... who cares?

Bernie Sanders-Tom Perez road trip a red flag for GOP

Sen. Bernie Sanders, of "Yes, I'm a Proud Socialist" fame, and newly seated Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez have teamed for a 50-state tour to rally the grassroots to come on down and vote, come next election. The GOP would be folly to fail to take note.

ISIS hit on Coptic Christians leaves Egypt in emergency

Egypt's president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, declared three days of mourning, and three months of national emergency, in the wake of the ISIS terror strikes on Coptic Christians while they worshipped in church services for Palm Sunday. That's nice. But what about ISIS?

Devin Nunes should’ve said, ‘Bite me’

So Rep. Devin Nunes stepped away from his leading role of his House Intelligence Committee's investigation of Russia's meddling in America's 2016 election. How nice. He's taking one for the team. But he should've announced this instead: Bite me.

In this Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016, file photo released by the Syrian Presidency, Syrian President Bashar Assad speaks to The Associated Press at the presidential palace in Damascus, Syria.

Syria called the operation "an aggression" that killed at least six people. (Syrian Presidency via AP, File)

Trump strikes on Syria premature

President Donald Trump, responding to a chemical weapons attack in Syria that killed dozens -- including children -- ordered a targeted cruise missile strike on a military airbase, al-Shayrat Airfield, located in the western part of the country outside Homs. He shouldn't have. Gruesome pictures of dead children do not automatically justify an American military intervention.

Preet Bharara’s anti-Trump ‘diss a red flag on Obama holdovers

Former U.S. attorney of Manhattan Preet Bharara, one of Barack Obama's appointees who was asked last month by President Donald Trump's administration to exit, stage left, spoke out this week for the first time since his firing -- and surprise, surprise, it was words of criticism about the new White House. The question: How many Barack Obama holdovers silently agree?

Rand Paul rails on Susan Rice: ‘Yeah,’ she committed crime

Sen. Rand Paul, who just called for former national security adviser Susan Rice to come to Capitol Hill and testify, under oath, about the unmasking of President Donald Trump-tied associates, reached new heights of accusation Thursday, outright saying the ex-Barack Obama administration official committed a crime.

Joe Biden, Jill Biden cash in fame with 3-book deal

Joe Biden and wife, Jill, have reportedly secured a three-book deal with Flatiron to write about life in the White House, the death of their son, Beau, and other matters considered noteworthy, interesting and, of course, marketable. My suggestion? A coffee table volume on famous Bidenisms -- or one entitled "America's Creepy Uncle."
