California campuses sheltering illegals face ‘sedition’ suits

The David Horowitz Freedom Center in Los Angeles is kicking into high gear a campaign against 11 schools in California known as safe havens for illegals, telling them, in no uncertain terms: Stop the sanctuary madness. Or else we'll prosecute you "for sedition," group founder Horowitz wrote, in an online post.

Donald Trump sends ultimatum: Pass Obamacare or …

Oh my, Republicans are in a spot. On Obamacare, it seems, President Donald Trump ain't playing, and late Thursday evening, he sent that message House Republicans' way, telling them to pass the reform plan -- or face the wrath of voters because he's moving on to other legislative matters.

London police say they are treating a gun and knife incident at Britain's Parliament "as a terrorist incident until we know otherwise." The Metropolitan Police says in a statement that the incident is ongoing. It is urging people to stay away from the area. Officials say a man with a knife attacked a police officer at Parliament and was shot by officers. Nearby, witnesses say a vehicle struck several people on the Westminster Bridge.

London terror and the Islam elephant in the room

President Donald Trump, reacting to the Wednesday terror attack in London by the Houses of Parliament, called it "big news," but withheld further comment, pending more information. And the information we're all waiting -- albeit quietly, because it's not politically correct to bring it up openly and bluntly -- is simply this: Is this another case of Islamic terrorism?

U.N.’s backdoor try at banning free speech

The United Nations, ahead of its global celebration of the International Day for Elimination of Racial Discrimination, sent out a press release putting forth the notion that free speech is good -- free speech is necessary. But free speech has its limits. In other words: The First Amendment needs to be reeled in.

Fighting crime with Jesus

A Chicago pastor, Jon Kelly, tired of seeing kids raised in crime and violence turn around and perpetuate the cycle with their own acts of criminality, has taken his prison past, his theology studies and a dose of good ol' boldness in God and headed to the streets -- taking over drug dealers' corners and setting up "Jesus Saves" shop. This is how it's done, folks.

Susan Rice’s breathtaking potshots at President Trump

File this under Most Disingenuous Argument Ever. Susan Rice, of Barack Obama national security adviser fame, actually penned a piece for the Washington Post decrying President Donald Trump administration's "false statements" about wiretapping -- saying such unproven allegations present a danger to America. Can she say Benghazi, and YouTube video?

Lindsey Graham warns Trump on impeachment

Sen. Lindsey Graham, sometimes Republican from South Carolina -- but always Republican In Name -- seemed to issue a direct, not-so-veiled threat to President Donald Trump during the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice nominee Neil Gorsuch. Oh yes, he did.

James Comey snarks media, but goes mum on corrections

James Comey, FBI director, said a mouthful about the media during congressional testimony about Russia earlier this week, making clear it wasn't his agency's job to correct the press on printed or published errors -- but also saying bluntly: Boy, they make a lot. True, but sitting idly by and letting the false narrative go forth isn't exactly praise-worthy, either.

Schwarzenegger, Hollywood’s has-been, hits hard at Trump

Arnold Schwarzenegger -- remember him? He used to star in some of Hollywood's hottest films, some decades back -- has taken to Twitter with a 40-second rant against President Donald Trump. It's self-promotion, at its worst.

Andrew Napolitano suspended from Fox as wiretap claims fizzle

The fallout from President Donald Trump's wiretapping claims against Barack Obama have turned from the White House toward Fox News, and now, according to several reports, Andrew Napolitano, the outlet's frequent "Judge Napolitano" legal commentator, has been benched. Eh. He'll be back. And back soon -- rightly so.

Travis County, Texas — land of the loved illegal

The Department of Homeland Security is playing the shaming game, and releasing name of jails in local communities that won't get in lawful line and honor detainer requests from the federal authorities. Good. And the award for Best Place to Get Arrested as an Illegal is ... Travis County, Texas.

Chuck Schumer, tool of the left, skews truth to hit at Trump

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, never one to shy from a chance to showcase the Republicans as bad for the people, has now stepped forward to use the president's previous wiretapping claims and Monday's hearings on Capitol Hill about said wiretapping to demand Donald Trump admit he was wrong -- right now, to the American people and to Barack Obama. What a bloviating showboat.

Schiff’s disingenuous try at painting Trump as dangerous

For those who didn't have time to tune in to the House Intelligence Committee's hearing for the FBI's James Comey and the NSA's Michael Rogers, here's a hint of what you've missed: a Democratic take-down attempt of President Donald Trump. A Democratic ploy to showcase the president as dangerous to America's security.

Richard Burr, R-N.C. and Mark Warner, D-Va., said in a one-sentence joint statement Thursday afternoon. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig, File)

Trump wiretap claims? Well, Obama did secretly spy

Sen. Susan Collins, Republican from Maine, took to national television airwaves over the weekend to insist that President Donald Trump explain why he decided it was OK to accuse Barack Obama of wiretapping his conversations in Trump Tower. Here, let me help: Because Obama's White House was tapping into people all the time.
