Vegas is what happens when a nation turns its back on morality, abandons personal responsibility, and embraces self-destruction

I don't know how many times I've mentioned this but, once upon a time, school children brought their guns to school - on the bus. The weapons were then stored in lockers until their marksmanship class or until their after-school, extracurricular, gun club meet.

Trump addresses nation after Las Vegas attack - orders flags to half mast

Here are President Trump's remarks in the wake of the Las Vegas attack.

Hillary dances on graves: We must 'put politics aside' and politicize the Las Vegas attack

We don't know the motive, we barely know the shooter's circumstances, and we don't know how he obtained the weapons he used, but that's not going to stop Hillary Clinton. Twitter's pretend President couldn't wait to dance on the graves and turn the horror of Las Vegas into a political talking point.

Oops! ThinkProgress 'Justice editor' admits public sector unions are a 'key arm of the Democratic party's infrastructure'

In case you missed it, The Supreme Court has decided to hear the Janus v. AFSCME case, and the left is in full meltdown mode. The issue centers around a Mark Janus, an Illinois State employee who's sick of being forced to pay legally-mandated union dues.

Here's a fun picture of the librarian who rejected Melania's book donation because Dr. Seuss's poems are 'steeped in racist stereotypes'

Yesterday, you probably heard the story of Liz Phipps Soeiro. She's the Cambridge, MA., elementary school librairian who rejected a donation of Dr. Seuss books given to the school by First Lady Melania Trump. As ridiculous as a library rejecting free books may sound to sane people, Soeiro had "reasons."

Michelle Obama: Here's why women who voted for Trump voted against their own best interests - Mansplaining anyone?

"The little lady doesn't really know what she thinks. She tries, bless her heart, but she just can't seem to wrap her pretty little head around complex political issues. No, I'm not saying she's dumb. I'm just saying that she has a hard time figuring out the proper way to think."

Chuck Todd says Roy Moore 'doesn't appear to believe in the ConstitutIon' - because he believes rights come from God

Yesterday, Dan told you about Roy Moore's decisive Republican Primary victory in Alabama. I won't rehash that here, so read his piece if you'd like to know more. For now, suffice it to say that he'll probably become the state's next Senator in November, evangelical voters are ecstatic, and the left is losing what remains of its collective mind.

'Taking a knee' is now the anti-American 'ice bucket challenge'

Remember the ice bucket challenge? Back in 2014 it was all the rage. People would dump a bucket full of ice and water over their heads to "raise awareness" of ALS, then challenge someone else to do the same. Despite my inherent distrust of the phrase "raise awareness," and general disdain for pressuring people to a cause, I thought it was good fun in support of a worthy cause.

Two weeks into Hillary Clinton's blame-a-palooza, she's STILL carping about Bernie

If she were just yelling about how awful Trump is, I'd get it. If she were out there, every day, complaining about Comey, I'd understand. If she were ONLY furious that women didn't show up to support her, there would be an internal logic at play.

Trump: "will cut middle class taxes tremendously' - doubles standard deduction, increases deductions for children

I'm not going to write too much about this right now, since we still don't have all the specifics, but President Trump today unveiled at least part of the GOP tax reform plan.

Alejandro Villanueva apologizes for honoring his nation, flag, and national anthem - looks like he's in a hostage video

Well, that didn't take long. We now live in a country where a former Army Ranger - a veteran of three tours in Afghanistan and a bronze star recipient - feels he must apologize for standing and singing our national anthem.

Steelers coach rips veteran Army Ranger Alejandro Villanueva for not being 'respectful of his team' after he stands during National Anthem

I'm from Detroit where, in football terms, I've been saddled with the Lions my entire life. Only in the NFL could you produce a product as worthless as the Detroit Lions, put it on the field for 50 years, and expect people to pay exorbitant prices for abject garbage.

Carlos 'Anthony Weiner' Danger sentenced to 21 months in federal prison - 3 years supervised release

I'll be honest. I thought he'd skate with nothing more than a slap on the wrist. We can dicker over how long we think the sentence ought to be - and if you're the parent of a teenage girl I'm willing to bet you don't think this is enough - but the fact that he's going away at all is kind of surprising.

NYT Reporter: Hillary thinks it was the media's 'job to get Hillary Clinton elected.' ...Well, wasn't it?

It doesn't happen often but when it does - when I agree with Hillary Clinton - I like to make sure everyone knows about it. I'm fair and unbiased like that. In this case, I'm talking about Hillary Clinton's assertion that the "press didn't do its job in 2016." She's 100% right. They didn't.

Tucker Carlson calls out Rob Meathead Reiner over Hollywood's collusion with China

Hollywood loves China. Despite the country's longstanding tradition of fascism, human rights abuses, and anti-American geopolitical efforts, movie studios just can't wait to bow down before the Chinese government.

Police reports show multiple women accused jailed IT staffer, Imran Awan, of battery, abuse, wiretapping, blackmail

We're learning more about Debbie Wasserman Schultz's favorite IT staffer, Imran Awan, and none of what we're hearing is good. You'll recall that Wasserman Schultz refused to fire Awan, even though she knew he was at the center of a a criminal investigation by the FBI and U.S. Capitol Police.

Pelosi: illegal immigrants 'did a great thing for our country' by bringing their DACA kids here

They broke our laws, entered the country illegally, in most cases use falsified documents or stolen social security numbers to obtain housing and employment, and created an immigration crisis that's currently dividing the nation. But ignore all that. According to Nancy Pelosi, they've done us a huge favor!

Hillary says she's like 'Paula Revere' - sounding the alarm about how Russia cost her the election

Last night Hillary Clinton brought her desperate, delusional, blame game to the Stephen Colbert show so that 'non-deplorables' could give it the praise she feels it deserves.

Progressive media types seem pretty upset that Trump may not be giving 'Rocket Man' Kim Jong Un the respect he deserves

Before - and during - President Trump's United Nations address, he referred to North Korea's "Supreme Leader" as "Rocket Man."

For the first time in years, a U.S. President manages to address the UN ...without trashing the United States

I won't bother listing examples, because there are so many that it would take all day. Suffice it to say that, if you spent any part of the last 8 years watching President Obama address the United Nations, you saw a U.S. President belittle his own county. Obama's speeches were, almost without exception, apologetic affairs designed to acknowledge the left-wing "truth" that America is the source of all the world's ills.
