The Problem Isn’t Gun Rights, It’s Chicago!

BELLEVUE, WA – The weekend arrest of two brothers now charged in the slaying of Nykea Aldridge is further evidence that gun rights aren’t the problem in Chicago, the system is, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

McCain primary opponent: He’s too old at 80 to be re-elected

One of the reasons we have such bad leaders in this country is that we're not permitted - by decorum, by whatever - to mention perfectly legitimate reasons that certain people should not be elected to public office.

Firearms Not Allowed

What happens when one law says that you can and the other law says that you can't? Well, let's enter the world of Perplexity and see what we can find. To begin, we have to look at Count II of the Superseding Indictment. In the Indictment, it reads like this:

Pallister provides honesty to Churchill and The Pas

This column was originally printed in the Winnipeg Free Press on August 27, 2016, and is now free to reprint. An honest mechanic will admit it when a car can't be fixed, even though it's not what the owner wants to hear and it doesn't make the cash register ring.

A new international example for bad energy policy

If a country's goal is to decrease carbon emissions by increasing reliance on renewable energy, it only makes sense to install the new equipment in the location with the best potential--both in geography and government.

Taxpayers Shut Out of Big Money Court Fight

Wages and benefits for unionized government employees make up more than half of every dollar spent by provincial and local governments in Canada.

Another Way Citizens Pay for Illegal Aliens

The Shannon family’s latest unexpected encounter with federal immigration policy couldn’t have come at a more inconvenient time. Here it is almost tax day and my daughter is hit with an unexpected HOLA! bill. That’s HOLA as in Hidden Outlay for Left’s Amnesty.

NSFW: Huma Weiner’s husband, Carlos Danger, deletes Twitter account after texting crotch shot - from

If you're a political observer, you know Huma Abedin as the ethically-challenged friend, confidant, and stalwart supporter of Hillary Clinton. She is, quite literally, the shoulder upon which the elderly candidate leans. However, her husband, Anthony Weiner (aka "Carlos Danger") is desperately trying to make sure you know Abedin as something else.

Does Hillary Hate White People?

Using various writers, including its in-house faux conservative bloggers and columnists, The Washington Post is going over the edge with its assault on Donald J. Trump. Does the paper realize how ridiculous it looks?

49ers’ Colin Kaepernick: I’m not standing for the anthem of a country that oppresses blacks

I don't think he deserves the attention that a column about him brings, but Colin Kaepernick's stunt this past weekend of refusing to stand for the national anthem in a preseason game did generate a couple of thoughts I wanted to share.

Nation Building or Islam Building

Nation-building has become a very controversial term. And with good reason. Our conviction that we can reconstruct any society into another America is unrealistic. It ignores our own exceptionalism and overlooks the cultural causes of many conflicts. It assumes that a change of government and open elections can transform a tribal Islamic society into America. They can’t and won’t.

The Economic Devastation of Syria: Strategic Implications

While even before the crisis, Syria was a poor economy, in the last five years GDP per capita fell to less than a third of its pre-war level. Approximately 11 percent of the population in Syria were killed or injured in the course of the war.

CALIFORNIA LAWMAKERS CELEBRATE MUSLIM APPRECIATION MONTH

In one of the most contemptible acts of the year, the California Legislature passed a House Resolution to create and celebrate "Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month," while at the same time passing legislation to strike down religious freedoms for Christians.

S.I.N. on steroids

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign has resorted to S.I.N. on steroids! What’s that, you ask?

Fantastic: Obama’s final budget explodes deficit to $590 billion

If I told you the deficit was soaring, economic growth was terrible and ObamaCare was collapsing, you'd assume that Obama's approval ratings would be in the tank and the Democrats would have no hope of electing someone who basically promises to continue his policies.

Bernie Sanders creates nonprofit, staffers abandon it

Sen. Bernie Sanders (Liberty Union-Independent-Democrat-Independent) has launched a new nonprofit 501(c)(4) organization called Our Revolution. (website)

Like it Never Really Happened!

That's the advertising phrase , “Like it Never Really Happened”, that the cleanup disaster company “Serv-Pro” uses to remind customers of their services. To hear and watch the media talk about the presidential campaign, you'd think that Hillary Clinton has led an exemplary life with little or no conflicts of interest or breeches of law.

The Entire ‘LGBT’ Narrative Just Crumbled

If your daughter, sister, mother or friend “identified” as a fat person trapped in a perilously emaciated body – if she truly believed she was obese, but, in reality, suffered from anorexia – would you affirm her “fatness” and get her liposuction, or would you go to the ends of the earth to help her bring her subjective (and mistaken) identity into alignment with objective reality?

Hillary’s vow shows she has no understanding of the First Amendment

MADISON, Wisconsin — Hillary Clinton continues to vow that she’ll undo the Supreme Court’s decision in the 2010 Citizens United case, promising to introduce a constitutional amendment restricting corporate campaign activities if elected president. This would set a dangerous course, eroding the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of expression.

It’s the ever-gurgling running water from the taps of the borderless Postcode Lotteries that’s enriching the Clinton Foundation, a fact that seems to be passing straight over the heads of investigative authorities trying to source the Foundation’s steady cash flow.
