Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko promised a probe of a claim by […]

(Daily Mail) Enough people have threatened to kill democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that her staff has been trained to evaluate visitors to her Capitol Hill office — even people who just leave Post-It notes on the plaque in the hallway.

(Study Finds) NEW YORK — Nearly 6 in 10 Americans believe the First Amendment is under threat, according to a new survey, yet a large portion of respondents couldn’t correctly name what the amendment protects.

(Washington Examiner) Special counsel Robert Mueller miscalculated how much restitution former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort owes, but the disgraced former Trump campaign chairman hasn’t signed off on the new figure.

  A drag queen story hour at the Houston library is being canceled, and organizers blame threats from “anti-LGBT” organizations for the decision. There was, of course, that little issue of one of the “readers” at the story time having been convicted of molesting an 8-year-old, of course. WND reported on the issue that developed […]

The Hamas-founded Council on American-Islamic Relations and the anti-Shariah, grass-roots movement Act for America are squaring off over the suspension of Fox News host Jeanine Pirro.

A prominent Washington-based government watchdog, Judicial Watch, is describing as “political correctness gone amok” the suspension of an engineering professor for advising a student to “learn English.” “The egregious incident occurred this month at the University of Kansas, a taxpayer-funded institution with an enrollment of 28,500 that ranks among the nation’s top public universities,” Judicial Watch […]

While serving as cantor at Thomas Church of Leipzig, Bach taught Martin Luther’s Small Catechism. In 1717, Bach was imprisoned because a duke in the […]

My most recent column brought out some crazies, largely due to the attention-catching headline that included a reference to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest member of Congress. For the record, columnists do not write headlines. That is the job of the editor or another specialist. That column really was’t about Ocasio-Cortez, although the young do […]

Back in May of 2018, the Republican-controlled statehouse in Colorado rejected House Bill 1436, a highly controversial measure that would have allowed Colorado judges to order the seizure of guns from people considered “a significant risk to themselves or others.” When Democrats took over the Colorado statehouse in 2019, they wasted no time in re-introducing […]

Imagine yourself as the proverbial frog swimming always leftward in a pot with your fellow Democrats. Although they seem comfortable with the increasing warmth of the water, you are not. You suspect your boiling point is lower than theirs and contemplate hopping out while still you can. The question you ask yourself now is what […]

A masked crusader – a mysterious group called “Cheollima Civil Defense” (CCD) – is challenging North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un’s nearly three-quarters of a century family rule. Cheollima is a name North Koreans easily recognize – a mythical flying horse often used for propaganda purposes. Its image appears on postage stamps and coins. A bronze […]

Once again, meat consumption is under attack by progressive leaders. Politicians and the United Nations call on all of us to eat more plant-based foods and less meat and dairy products in the name of saving the planet.

(DAILYWIRE) — A student at Penn State University put the screws to Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke on Tuesday during a campaign stop, asking the failed Senate candidate, “When am I going to get an actual policy from you instead of just platitudes and stories?” O’Rourke made the campaign stop after The Washington Post brought […]

We’ve heard it taught for years. Jesus is coming like a thief in the night, so be ready. He could come at any moment, without any warning, so stay alert. You don’t want to be left behind! I remember hearing this teaching when I first came to faith in 1971. The signs were all there. […]

Poor Felicity Huffman is being raked over the coals for paying a lousy $15,000 to get her daughter extra time to take the SAT. Jared Kushner’s father paid $2.5 million to get him into Harvard – and arranged for two of his beneficiary politicians, Sens. Ted Kennedy and Frank Lautenberg, to make calls on his […]

The brilliant Thomas Sowell, when in college, considered himself a Marxist. Asked what changed him, Sowell said, “Evidence.” After completing undergrad at Harvard and obtaining a master’s in economics, Sowell landed a summer internship with the Department of Labor.

(Truthdig) — The National Christian Foundation is America’s eighth largest public charity, but it doesn’t build houses, educate children, feed the hungry, or provide other goods or services one might commonly associate with a charity. It’s also not a household name like the Red Cross, but that doesn’t prevent it from having vast influence. According […]
