Bill Maher, on his recent "Real Time" episode on HBO, ripped into leftists for cheering the social media booting of Alex Jones -- something which even his liberal mind looked at as a chilling path toward tyranny and clamped free speech. Democrats would do well to pay attention. Published August 20, 2018
You know John Brennan's gone too far in his anti-President Donald Trump rhetoric when even fellow anti-Trumping intel types begin to take him to task. Published August 20, 2018
Members of the Satanic Temple were at it again this week, stirring up unrest and stoking religious sensibilities and demanding Arkansas legislators give their Baphomet statue the same equal access to Capitol grounds as a monument of the Ten Monuments. Somebody go get Gideon. Published August 18, 2018
For Omarosa Manigualt Newman, the hole just keeps getting deeper. Published August 16, 2018
Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York, made what's called in the world of politics a suicidal step by saying, for all the country to hear, that America's not that great -- that the notion of American exceptionalism is pretty much ridiculous. Or, at least, his comments would've been political suicide, in a day and age of Democrat reason. Published August 16, 2018
There aren't many in America who would begrudge police the tools to protect themselves -- to avail themselves of whatever technological devices are at their disposal to rid the streets of criminals, keep citizens safe and at the end of the shift, head home healthy and unhurt to their families and loved ones. But not at the expense of the Constitution. Published August 16, 2018
Make way for the next wave of Marxist-minded college graduates. The University of Arizona has just hired Noam Chomsky, noted radical leftist and open supporter of the terror group Hezbollah, to teach on a part-time basis a course called, "What is Politics?" Hmm, we'll take "indoctrination" for 500, Alex. Published August 15, 2018
God is definitely not dead -- particularly in Florida. Beginning this week, all public schools around the state will be required -- required! -- to display signs on their campuses that read "In God We Trust." Published August 15, 2018
It's not that Omarosa was fired. It's that she was ever hired in the first place. Let the underscoring begin. Published August 14, 2018
Researchers have discovered a way to stare artificial intelligence deep into the windows of humans' souls and emerge with a score card on personality as it pertains to four traits: neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness. Eye-gazing -- technology's next venture toward omniscience. Published August 13, 2018
Say free speech to a Republican and you get a very different definition than when you say free speech to a Democrat. Published August 13, 2018
The left's censorship argument dangles precariously on the meaningless claim that in America, there's no room for hate speech. And I say meaningless because first off, nobody can define what constitutes hate speech and second off, even if they could, there are no criminal laws against speaking one's mind in this country -- except in cases of inciting riots.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham sparked massive backlash around the country when she opened a monologue by calling for the lynching of all black people, the gunning down of illegals at the border, the ripping of little brown-faced babies from their mommas -- "not gringos," she called them -- and the chicken cage incarceration of any documented citizen that couldn't produce proof of membership in either the KKK or the NRA. Oh wait. She didn't really. My bad. But in the twisted minds of the left, she might as well have. Published August 10, 2018
All this social media censorship talk that's been fueling conservative angst in recent months has had the distressing effect of putting the ideological right exactly where the left wants it -- in a regulatory box with nowhere to go. The solution? The ideological right needs to create a new battlefield. How about Title VII of the Civil Rights Act? Published August 9, 2018
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said in a radio show reported by The Hill that his company does not engage in shadow banning of conservative voices -- "period." Case closed, move on, nothing to see here, "period." Oh, but au contraire, says none other than the president of the United States. Published August 9, 2018
Rashida Tlaib is poised to become the first Muslim woman elected to Congress. She's also massively anti-President Donald Trump, and that, combined with her gender, her religious beliefs and her progressive leanings, makes her the new darling of the Democratic Party, the new speed dial on mainstream media's approved list of political pundits.

First came Alex Jones, and the outright booting of his Infowars news product from several top social media sites. Then came headlines of Sebastian Gorka, facing a so-called "soft ban" at Fox News. But really, radio rock star Michael Savage has them both beat. He's been banned by Britain; booted from various markets. And all that -- despite the fact he's a top ratings draw, a major market asset, a proven voice who's weathered many a storm. Published August 8, 2018
Sen. Chris Murphy just made national headlines for suggesting that social media giants like Facebook and YouTube shouldn't stop at Alex Jones and Infowars, but rather go forward and censor, censor, censor until all signs of objectionable speech are removed from the Internet. Here's a guy who doesn't belong in political office. Published August 8, 2018
More than 160 companies with divisions dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence just signed on to a pledge to "neither participate in nor support the development, manufacture, trade, or use of lethal autonomous weapons," or LAWS, the text states. That's nice; very peace-keeping-ish. But that's also a bit naive. Published August 8, 2018
Alex Jones of Infowars has been booted from YouTube, Apple, Spotify and Facebook for what the tech giants consider his rampant hate speech. And with that, Jones has become the face of the censorship fight. This seems counterproductive to those who would silence him, yes? Published August 7, 2018
