Flaws in liberal "logic" regarding the budget

One unremarkable guest (didn't get his name, in any case) appearing on the Intelligence Report on FBN emphatically asked how poor people are served if the budget is cut that goes to the very people who provide the services?

Trump’s detractors lobbing unsubstantiated accusations while they fruitlessly search for nonexistent

Straight from a no longer anonymous source-- After a year of turning over every rock and parting the branches of every bush, the source said that President Trump is probably the one individual with the least amount of dirty laundry ever to occupy the White House.

Media is the Narrative

This is titled with apologies to Marshall McLuhan's memory for the bastardization of his famed pronouncement, "The medium is the message". Truly though, the apology should be rendered by the media itself rather than a poor political missionary attempting to characterize the dissolution of the once-respected profession of journalism.

Obama is the Macron template

We’re watching the final showdown between two reportedly unpopular candidates vying for the office of president… in France. At least, that’s the account in most of the mainstream press, along with the tale that Emmanuel Macron is a centrist and Marine LePen is a far-right neo-Nazi. Neither description appears to be grounded in much fact.

Colleges produce SJWs at the expense of common sense and the nation

Social justice wish lists have grown over the years by adding the impossible: reparations for slavery, controlling CO2 levels, eradicating offensive speech, selective homicide and regulating thought in general. Advocates of these causes have ramped-up assaults on anyone who disagrees. Flooding college campuses and spilling onto surrounding streets, their disruptions signal the disintegrating state of what we refer to as education.

House reps serve two-year terms for a reason

The Founders of this nation had good purpose in establishing two-year terms for representatives elected to the House that today’s politicians conveniently overlook or shove aside. James Madison, in Federalist Paper 52, examined the rationale for a longer term (though I’m tempted to use sentence in its place) of office as opposed to what was finally adopted within the Constitution:

Preemptive propaganda blaming America for coming attacks on Syria all in a day's work for a former KGB official

Typical of leftist ideologues and regime spinmasters, Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin threw the first punch by making a completely unsubstantiated claim the United States is readying to launch an attack on the south side of Damascus. He then said that the United States will use chemical weapons against Syrian citizens and lay the blame at the feet of Bashar al-Assad.

The role of a judge

As United States Supreme Court Candidate Neil Gorsuch is questioned, scrutinized and skewered by the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, the underlying issue that is skirted, and apparently misunderstood by many of the members, is the proper role of a judge.

Congress ignores ability to strike Obamacare, preferring to entrench control

Instant gratification (we all recognize that phrase) in modern culture is now being realized via the instant construction of a house (won't go into energy consumption to produce the plastic materials), designer food or other "produced" items from 3D printers. "Instant" healthcare is just another take on the concept and government has been feeding the populace on the lie of its affordability for years now.

House healthcare bill isn't even remission of Obamacare cancer

About the term remission - it is an admission that the treatment used to diminish advancing cancer was inadequate and it is expected to recur. In healthcare lingo it infers that the cancer is not curable.

Who values land as sacred? Ranchers, not environmentalists

The new Fifth Column

Let’s talk real fascism

The tale of a country wallowing in economic depression, a third of its people out of work, many roaming the streets seeking something to do, something to eat… someone to blame. They rise up – the college students, the youth, the aimless striking out at hapless targets of their anger which is anyone who does not join their ranks.

First Lady's immigrant experience contradicts Left claims of Trump hate

It is the difference of an individual sincerely desiring to become an American and those wanting to take advantage of America or even subject its people to a foreign ideology.

Community pitches in after natural disasters while FEMA twiddles thumbs

Disorganization of federal agencies is never more evident than when a natural disaster strikes and the bureaucracy charged with coordinating relief efforts is nowhere to be found. The South has had more than its share of weather related tragedies over the last decade and, despite the numerous opportunities for FEMA to learn from past inefficiency, nothing has changed.

Spanish Inquisition redux: accept climate change or else

For all the democrat grumbling about making sure there are no religious litmus tests for cabinet candidates, the committee hearings for Donald Trump's nominees are rife with them. Candidates sitting before members of Congress are subject to a single mantra coming from democrats--"do you accept and believe that climate change is real and your job, first and foremost, is to combat this threat to the world?"

Like John Lewis, shamelessly I glom onto MLK’s legacy

The hackery that is prevalent within the democrat party has become so virulent, it is on the verge of accomplishing its decades-long goal of undermining the foundations of our government. In many ways, the goal has already been reached, particularly when party toadies the likes of John Lewis have built their career on a single act, even if it was one deserving merit.

To GOP: Repeal Obamacare and DON'T replace

Plain and simple, the PPACA (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) must be repealed utterly, no replacement or residual "good idea" left to haunt us. This is stated emphatically for the following reasons and I pray that Congress, particularly the republicans, are listening to the people and not to polls purposely skewed by the misleading, malpracticing media.

Two-state, not three state, solution occurred in 1948

Soon to be sidelined Secretary of State John Kerry wasted an hour and a half reinventing history December 28 after the Obama administration's ambassador to the United Nations disgraced America by abstaining at the security council's vote on Friday. His moronic remarks aren't even worth referencing as he attempted to bolster an irredeemable action that endangered Israel's very existence by pressuring the small state to return to indefensible borders.

Joseph and Mary were not homeless

Joseph and Mary’s Egyptian sojourn, carrying their young son with them, is not a fitting comparison to the plight of today’s Middle East “migrants” as they have been dubbed.
