National Security First
President Donald Trump yesterday signed the massive $1.3 trillion spending bill that was approved by the Senate in the wee hours of the morning. He clearly was not happy about doing so.
Omnibusiness as Usual
A chamber of groggy senators finally called it a night a little after 12 a.m. Friday, as overwhelmed by exhaustion as they probably are with the 2,232-page bill they just sent down Pennsylvania Avenue.
Deliverance From Hillary Clinton
If Democrats want to solve their Hillary Clinton problem, Conor Lamb has some good ideas.
Bidding Farewell to Tillerson and Hawking
I’m glad that President Trump dumped Rex Tillerson, although, frankly, I never understood why he chose him to head up the State Department in the first place.

Navy: No Destroyer of the Chaplaincy
If Jason Heap is one thing, it’s persistent. The DC-based humanist had already lost his bid to join the Navy chaplaincy under the Obama administration. He had to know that his application was an even longer shot under President Trump. Still, Heap filed again, hoping Navy officials would be more lax the second time around. Thanks two of the Hill’s conservatives, they weren’t.
Fake Storm
So now it’s collusion with Stormy Daniels? The obsession by some in the media with the affair that Donald Trump allegedly had with a porn star 12 years ago shows how desperate his haters are to drive him from office.
Left-Wing Hypocrisy
President Trump called Russian President Vladimir Putin Tuesday, and the Left is in complete meltdown. Why? Because Trump congratulated Putin on winning re-election. The president’s critics insist that Putin stole the election, and they are not wrong.
Don’t Politicize Sports and Entertainment
One thing that defines liberals is their incessant desire to push political messages into every time and space. Their “compassion” and “inclusion” is perpetually shoved in our faces.
The Facebook-Cambridge Analytica ‘Scandal’ Is a Nothingburger
What the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal lacks in relevance it sure makes up for in melodramatic rhetoric.
Women Against Free Speech?
Sometimes, for those of us who are constantly reading statistics and poll results, something that you didn’t expect to see stands out — a number that makes you think the future will not be what you have been expecting.
Why Conservative Christians Are Sticking With Trump
As “60 Minutes” prepares to air its interview with adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, conservative Christians are being accused of hypocrisy. How can so-called “values voters” continue to stand with President Trump despite revelations that he allegedly had affairs with a porn star and a Playboy model, and paid them for their silence?
Iggy the Crusader Victimized by a Misguided Crusade
A liberal, the old joke attributed to Robert Frost goes, is someone too broad-minded to take his own side in a quarrel.
Another Excuse to Avoid Blaming Hillary Clinton
Have you ever paid to use a social media service? Does Facebook send you a bill each month, or Twitter demand a credit card for use of its service? When you log into Google, does it force you to pay before searching the Web or checking email? Of course not.
Authoritarianism for Me but Not for Thee
It’s funny how projection works. These hysterical Democrats calling for President Trump’s impeachment because of his dastardly “authoritarian tendencies” are the ones with authoritarian tendencies.

Holy Cross Drops Christian Knight Mascot to Appease You-Know-Who
The Holy Cross Crusaders are giving its nearly 100-year-old mascot the heave-ho to avoid offending other religious groups. And by “other religious groups,” well, you can probably figure that out for yourself.
Constitutional Problems With the CFPB
The Financial Product Safety Commission Act of 2018 is a bipartisan attempt to reform the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
