Professor Calls White People ‘Inhuman’
A Connecticut college is facing national outrage after a professor posted a series of Facebook messages attacking white people — along with a link to an essay that suggested first responders to last week’s congressional shootings should’ve let the lawmakers “f—ing” die.
Democratic Party More Bankrupt Than Ever
The Democrats’ comprehensive meltdown after their fifth straight election loss is a spectacle worth savoring. They’re vacillating between denial and self-flagellation, between consuming depression and delusional optimism. Some are even blaming hacking for the loss.
The ‘Real Boy’ of Fake PBS
Liberals made a big deal out of the report that Fox News has dropped its old slogan “Fair and Balanced.” The liberal media always made a mockery out of it, rejecting it as “false balance.” It’s “false balance” because the conservative view is false. From their arrogant viewpoint, only the “truth” is worth reporting.
Russia Hacking Is Obama’s Scandal
Jeh Johnson, former secretary of Homeland Security, testified Wednesday before the House Intelligence Committee. Thanks to questioning by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), we can add Johnson’s name to the long list of former Obama Administration officials and Democrat senators who have conceded that there is no evidence Russia altered any votes during the election and zero evidence of collusion between the president, his campaign and Russia.

Getting a Handel on Georgia’s 6th
Money can’t buy love, and as Georgia’s Karen Handel proved, it can’t buy elections either!
Let Us Plunge Toward Our Fast-Unfolding Future
In 1859, when Manhattan still had many farms, near the Battery on the island’s southern tip The Great American Tea Company was launched. It grew, and outgrew its name, becoming in 1870 The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, which in 1912 begat the first A&P Economy Store, a semi-modern grocery store.
The Left Has One More Argument: Kill Them!
After a Bernie Sanders supporter tried to commit mass murder last week — the second homicidal Bernie supporter so far this year — the media blamed President Trump for lowering the bar on heated political rhetoric by calling his campaign opponents cruel names like “Crooked Hillary” and “Lyin’ Ted.”
Minimum Wage Laws are Destroying Jobs — Just as Predicted
In the ’60s my parents opened a small diner near downtown Los Angeles. As a child, I watched my parents sitting at the kitchen table, discussing their plans for what they considered a huge expansion of the business — hiring a dishwasher.
James T. Hodgkinson: Just Another Well-Intentioned Progressive
Have you followed the drift of the mainstream media as to what provoked James T. Hodgkinson to attempt the massacre of the Republican House baseball team as it practiced in Alexandria, Virginia, last week?
Trump and His Generals
Donald Trump earned respect from the Washington establishment for appointing three of the nation’s most accomplished generals to direct his national security policy: James Mattis (secretary of defense), H.R. McMaster (national security adviser) and John Kelly (secretary of homeland security).
Dropping the BAT Is Key to Passing Tax Reform This Year
House Speaker Paul Ryan just made his pitch to the country about tax reform. He wants it, and he wants it before the end of 2017 because, as he said in his prepared remarks, “we cannot let this once-in-a-generation moment slip by.” That’s all well and good, except that the main factor holding up tax reform is the speaker’s insistence that the United States adopt a distortive and unfair border adjustment tax to pay for the reform.
Stunning Upset
According to all the media hype, Tuesday’s special election in Georgia’s Sixth Congressional District was supposed to herald the end of the Trump presidency and beginning of the Left’s resurgence.

Cuban-Americans Find Hope in President Trump
Cuba is still a boiling cauldron of brutal persecution. Nearly 10,000 Cuban “dissidents” have been arrested since 2016, and some 1,900 just since January 1st of this year. And every Sunday, “The Ladies in White” — moms, wives, sisters and daughters of political prisoners — dress in white clothes and peacefully pray and call for the release of political prisoners. These brave women and girls are regularly beaten and jailed by the government thugs. When was the last time you heard Barak Obama, Beyoncé, or Michael Moore — who just seem to love the Castro regime — talk about any of that?
GOP Finishes Doctoring Up Health Bill
Republicans may be celebrating more than July 4th after next week. If the Senate gets its act together and successfully deals the health care debate, America may be looking at its independence from Obamacare!
‘Stingy’ Jeff Bezos
Thursday, right before Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced he’d acquire Whole Foods for $13.7 billion, he tweeted a “request for ideas” for “philanthropy strategy.” If you have suggestions re “helping people in the here and now... reply to this tweet.”
