Because it never gets old: Police blast Phoenix rioter in crotch with pepper-ball cannon

Oh, dear me. When a fully-triggered leftist decides to kick a can of teargas back at the police during a riot, you can be fairly certain it's not going to end well for him. He's basically begging the police to fire back, so he can claim some sort of politically correct victim status.

ESPN yanks announcer Robert Lee from broadcast because his name sounds like a Civil War general. Even MSNBC mockS

Take a look at the picture at the top of the page. Go ahead. Take your time, and study it. ...We're not in a hurry and there will be a quiz in a moment, so be sure you've really gotten a good, long, look at the two men.

Valerie Plame to America: Please give me $1 billion so I can buy Twitter and ban Donald Trump

Valerie Plame - yes that Valerie Plame - has decided that her ignoble 15 minutes aren't quite up yet. Th former CIA agent has decided to extend her brief flirtation with fame by announcing a new GoFundMe scheme to, get this, raise a billion dollars, buy Twitter, and "take away Trump's megaphone."

DNC Deputy Chairman Keith Ellison on hidden cam: Pelosi wants single payer, but won't admit it in public

Democrats hate to let the mask slip. If they openly discuss their true beliefs, they lose elections. That's why every Democrat runs on lower taxes, a stronger military, and more efficient, streamlined government.

Claire McCaskill: Democratic Party won't have a 'true leader' until they have a 2020 nominee

The Democratic Party is currently rudderless. It has no idea what it believes, can't decide between its base and electability, can't win, and can't seem to figure out how to move forward.

Morning Joe notices the DNC can't raise any money - 'what does that say about the Democratic Party?'

You would think, if President Trump is as despised as Democrats claim, they'd be enjoying a resurgence. The faithful should be extremely energized, and the money should be pouring in as they build up a war chest designed to support their party's efforts in 2018 and 2020. That's not happening. The DNC is running on fumes and they're having a hard time convincing anyone to donate.

NYPost: Looks like Wasserman Schultz's jailed IT staffers were selling sensitive and classified stolen info to Russian intelligence

You're probably aware that, on Thursday, a federal Grand Jury indicted former Wasserman Schultz IT aide Imran Awan on four felony counts. Most agree that the charges - which include bank fraud, making false statements, and conspiracy - are just a placeholder. The investigation into a much larger set of crimes is ongoing and it's virtually impossible to find anyone who thinks these few meager charges will be the end of the story.

Pelosi calls on Paul Ryan to remove all Confederate statues from Capitol - but they weren't a problem when she was Speaker?

At one time, Nancy Pelosi was a very powerful Speaker of the House. Her tenure ended as her party decided to embrace its worst instincts - a move that eventually reduced it to a small, marginalized, bi-coastal collection of far-left crackpots. They have little or no traction in most of the country, and they're at their lowest level of overall power since before the Great Depression.

The Democratic Party is a painful reminder of the Democrats' 1864 plan to allow re-instatement slavery and it must be dismantled

This week, we've learned that Democrats favor dismantling any and every visible vestige of America's ugly past. Specifically, public reminders of anyone that participated in or tolerated the slave trade must be eliminated.

CNN Comentator Angela Rye: Jeffseron, Washington statues 'all need to come down'

Meet CNN comentator Angela Rye. According to her bio, she's "US attorney and the Principal and CEO of IMPACT Strategies, a political advocacy firm in Washington, DC."

Guess what Al Sharpton thinks of the Jefferson Memorial...

“Should they take down the Jefferson Memorial?” That was the question posed to Al Sharpton by Charlie Rose. Instead of answering it, Sharpton dodged. What he said, however, was telling.

Can't believe I'm typing this: Ted Nugent says Kid Rock 'ain't running for jack squat'

If you'll recall, back when this story first broke, I expressed my extreme doubts about Kid Rock running for Senate. He'd be challenging Michigan's Debbie Stabenow and, even though I suspect he could possibly win that race, the whole thing seemed implausible to an extraordinary degree.

NFL Commissioner: the National Anthem 'is special to me,' but... 'we have to understand the other side'

On Monday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell answered a little over 45 minutes’ worth of questions from Arizona Cardinals club seat holders. Most of it was the standard kind of football-related stuff you'd expect. Most, but not all.

Paging Orwell: Baltimore dismantles and removes four civil war statues in the dead of night

I'll be honest. I'm a little torn on the whole "Civil War statue" issue. Thanks to an elongated family tree, my great-grandfather fought for the Union in the Civil War and (all racial issues aside) there's part of me that doesn't completely understand the need to lionize people who would have killed him and seen the country torn asunder. That said, I also despise fascism, understand the "it's part of history" argument, and am appalled by the footage of angry mobs ripping these relics down.

After threats from Trump and Mattis, North Korea backs down - slinks away from plan to attack Guam

Here I thought (not really) we were on the brink of global nuclear devastation. The talking heads at CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC were hyperventilating. At any second atomic fire would rain down upon the sweet, innocent, heartland of America. Why? Because Trump had "dangerously mishandled" the situation with North Korea.

New Report: Sorry Dems, there was no 'Russian hack' - it was an inside job

If you wandered into any left-leaning blogs, forums, or news sites over the course of the last year, you were likely to see a paragraph that looked like this:

"Russia. Russia Russia. Putin. Russia, Putin, Russia. Evil Trump. Racism, hate and bigotry. Russia, Trump supporters almost as evil as Trump. Putin, Putin, Putin."

Black Lives Matter founder: 'hate speech is not protected under the 1st Amendment' ...Who wants to tell her?

In the not-so-olden days of the 1970's and 1980's, kids were taught that the 1st Amendment was basically sacrosanct. The mantra was "We tolerate the speech we hate, to guarantee the speech we love."

Theater critics trash Michael Moore's one man show - because even they're sick of his tedious schtick

What can you say about shlubby millionaire Michael Moore that hasn't been said before? After listing his northern Michigan home (which he once told me he didn’t recognize in a photo) for a cool $5 million, he's been forced to divide his time among his other 8 homes - including an equally lavish multi-unit Manhattan condo. He is, without question, an exceptionally hypocritical member of the one-percent he claims to despise.

Liberals aghast as Trump warns North Korea of the same destruction Clinton and Obama threatened

"Oh no! Trump is an idiot! He has the nuclear codes! ...And he's trying to start World War Three!!!"

Politico: Florida Dems come to their senses on Debbie Wasserman Schultz... 'We wish she would go away'

In what may have been her last successful endeavor, Debbie Wasserman Schultz did her best to shaft Bernie Sanders. Then, she was booed at her own convention, walked away from her DNC chair gig, and joined the Hillary Clinton campaign.
