Democrat's squirrelly gun-control argument

Ted Kennedy, the 47-year “Lion of the Senate,” per his own account on August 19, 2004, was put on an airline watch list. In this instance, he had to speak with a supervisor in order to get his initially refused boarding pass: “I got on the watch list last April. I was taking a plane to Boston and I get out to the USAIR and I come up to the counter and I said I want my ticket.” This is the reason Republicans reject no-fly lists as a basis to limit individual liberty: if a powerful guy like the senior senator from Massachusetts can be mistakenly placed on a secret government list, what hope is there for the rest of us?

Butt-naked “fish story” Admiral transferred not dismissed

For 7 years now and counting—in service of the scandal-prone Obama Administration—the MSM doesn't cover government official's activities, it “covers up” for them.

WaPo: Never met a criminal-alien they didn't like

Heaven forbid The Washington Post show a smidgen of the same bleeding-heart compassion to the victims of convicted felons instead of criminal perpetrators.

Deluded anti-gun Democrats ignore facts, Islamic fanaticism

The smoke has barely cleared from the December 2nd massacre in San Bernardino, CA and operatives of the Democrat party masquerading as journalists like The Washington Post's Petula Dvorak are busy promoting the knee-jerk, mindlessly Pavlovian response that, once again, the inanimate gun is responsible.

"Funny business" conference Obama worldwide scam

Allotted a mere three minutes to speak at the UN "climate change" conference in Paris, our Chicken Little "sky is falling" president--who equates weather changes as a greater threat to civilization than radical Islamic terrorism--rambled and sputtered for 14. (By contrast, Abraham Lincoln's now world famous Gettysburg Address--which reaffirmed the goodness of a geographically reunified North and South, and encapsulated the American ideal of sacrifice for the greater good of human equality--took just over two minutes.)

True irony in the green not the white

The greater irony in the story of aptly named Ephonia Green, 45, (who historically gifted apparel to military brides) isn't seen in the ethereal white of liquidated, designer wedding gowns bought “for a steal” by two U.S. Marines. It is in the “green” Ms. Green stole—$5.1 million from a D.C. non-profit to keep her failing Upper Marlboro bridal boutique afloat—and the slap on the wrist she got for it: 46 months.

No Trayvon outcry for Tyshawn

The November 2nd execution-style vengeance killing of nine-year old Chicago resident Tyshawn Lee has been completely ignored by the Black Lives Matter movement. Likewise, his tragic death remains unacknowledged by so-called black “leaders” like the rabble-rousing Al Sharpton or fellow Chicagoan Jesse Jackson. Even the former Chicago community-organizer Barack Obama—and his pouty-faced “bring back our girls” wife Michelle—have interestingly chosen silence despite their polarizing, knee-jerk history of inserting themselves into the political discourse.

Race: from the eye of the beholder

Stop The Washington Post presses! One of their race-obsessed scribblers--their intrepid columnist Lonnae O'Neal--has begrudgingly admitted in print that she was wrong! She who previously has seen absolutely every black-white human interaction through that divisive prism--might have had a moment of clarity. A real rarity in political terms: a "come to Jesus" epiphany. Don't expect it to last as habitual race-baiting pays the bills. After all, unlike 93 million able-bodied Americans who can't find a job, Ms. O'Neal doesn't want to inadvertently find herself the latest casualty of Mr. Obama's "5%" unemployment rate.

Like Elvis, "clock boy" has left the building

Under Obama, a record number of Americans have renounced their U.S. Citizenship. Some don't bother with that formality and simply leave. Among that number is teen hoaxer, Ahmed Mohammad known by his internet nickname "clock boy." He of 15 minute millennial fame has fled to Qatar--an Islamic totalitarian state--for freedoms apparently no longer found here. Interestingly, this decision came just 24 hours after personally meeting with Mr. Obama. Indeed, after lavishing such public praise--via Twitter: 'Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great'--the loss of Ahmed's so-called scientific "genius" is something he must privately bemoan. But, like Mr. Obama's "chicken little" obsession with weather, this trivia is the least of our country's many woes.

The secret meaning of debate handshake

As Tuesday's overly chummy Democratic sham of a “debate” demonstrated Bernie Sanders is nothing more than a shill for the Democratic Party. Why else would he leap to a spirited defense of scandal-ridden front-runner Hillary Clinton? Before shaking hands with a grinning Hillary—no symbolism of collusion there—he said:

JFK Democrats no resemblance to Obama, progressives

President JFK once famously said, "But I dream things that never were--and I say: 'Why not?'" Today's progressive, Democratic party--and their propagandist creature, the MSM--twists perceptions of truth with the same ease and disdain as it would JFK's inspiring words of leadership into: "I habitually say things that are untrue--and never were." It is the oxymoronic concept of "leading from behind;" the abdication of responsibility by those who would lead, but are incapable of accepting the inherent responsibility (and veracity) that comes with the job. Indeed, irresponsible power wielded without the check and balance of law promotes widespread government corruption and ultimately degenerates society into chaos. How far America has fallen in a mere 7 years. Ring any bells for anyone?

Let's Uber-ize D.C. ambulances

D.C. ambulance service is infamous for longstanding service problems. Life and limb tragedies are regularly compounded by bureaucratic inefficiency. From the mistake of a late arrival after an ailing father had passed away (and billing the grieving family) to an ambulance shutting down due to an EPA-mandated emissions reduction device resulting in the death of a suspect shot by police.

Justice Sotomayor: laws, not wages for 'the little people'

After almost 7 years of the often equally diabolical and hapless Obama Administration, it is easy to detect the overpowering scent of far-left hypocrisy emanating from progressives in Washington. First, a lawless, ultra-Constitutional president who consistently issues overreaching proclamations by executive fiat.

MSM demonizes conservative teen

Democrat U.S. President Harry Truman was famous for the phrase, "I don't give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them and they think it's Hell." Such can be gleaned from the hand-wringing, demeaning reaction of Washington Post columnist Lonnae O'Neal. She is clearly perturbed by 13-year old Coreco JaQuan Pearson's viral video that is outspokenly critical of Mr. Obama's decision to invite Islamic schoolboy and clock-building hoaxer, 14-year old Ahmed Mohammad to the White House. Imagine the temerity of one black youth--a conservative activist--who dares depart the Democrat's political plantation!

Schoolboy Ahmed Mohammad: Obama bias?

Coincidence or devious, leftist political optics propaganda? The Monday after the 14th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist airplane attacks--that killed more than 3,000 innocents, mostly American citizens--into New York's Twin Tower World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the ironically aged 14 year old aptly named Ahmed Mohamed, a Muslim schoolboy, decides it's a good idea to carry in a briefcase with a partially-assembled--beeping, wires exposed clock into MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas. It was not a school-assigned science project, but a hoax made intentionally to look like a bomb. On closer inspection it looks to be a 1970s style Radio Shack clock, not likely built by Ahmed as he claimed. But, this schoolboy prank has already had real life consequences.

Trump no 'Lonesome Rhodes'

Pointing an accusatory finger always points three fingers back: columnist Thomas is also a prime violator of Ronald Reagan's "11 Commandment" not to speak ill of fellow Republicans. His underlying beef with Trump: he's not an apparatchik of the Republican party—not genuine in all of his stated views (like Mr. Obama's 2008 promise to slow the rise of the oceans)—and doesn't have specific "plans" regarding Putin's aggression or Iranian malfeasance.

Hillary and Obama's war on cops, civil society

These Democratic leaders have the blood of many innocents on their hands. Mr. Obama lit the racial powder keg back in 2009 with his mischaracterization that Boston cops "acted stupidly" in arresting a black Harvard professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr., for being belligerent with law enforcement at the man's home.

Hillary Clinton: prison cell, not Oval Office

Delusional, morally bankrupt, self-obsessed Hillary Clinton—a metaphorical modern day power-obsessed Lady Macbeth (with the same self-destructive [political] behavior) is the poster child of the dictionary definition of treason: a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state and the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery. (Indeed, staffers should have known something was amiss when the Clinton's movers snatched everything not nailed down when the Clintons left the White House—the people's house—the first time.) Yes, people of Hillary's ilk live by a single axiom: numero uno first, last and always.

Deconstructing the Trump phenomenon

From the perspective of all of us “average Joes,” I think it is fair comment that virtually anyone running for U.S. president these days is, by definition, a shameless self-promoter—with something of a God-complex—or a loose screw. With the multitude of problems in the world, who would want the pressures that come to bear or that fish bowl existence?
