New York state, which already has been accused of  "barbarism" for its expansive abortion law, now is being sued along with New York City for interfering with the mission of crisis pregnancy centers.

While the guillotine is best known as the instrument of choice to kill dissenters during the French Revolution, it has a history spanning back to the 13th Century. It was perfected by the Gallic people, however. While the guillotine has generally fallen out of favor in the age of the more civilized torture -- like…

(RED STATE) One of the scurrilous charges being thrown at President Trump by the imbeciles who make up the House of Representatives ‘impeachment managers’ in the ongoing travesty of the Senate trial is that somehow he damaged Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. Facially, this is rather stupid. The first lethal aid provided to Ukraine ever…

If you're salty about Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and how he's conducting the impeachment trial in the upper chamber, one of the least productive ways to take it out on him is to give him nicknames that are actually pretty awesome. I can understand: The name "Mitch" kind of lends itself to monikers that…

Democrats who use comments from Founding Father Alexander Hamilton to buttress their attacks on President Donald Trump are taking Hamilton's words out of context, according to one of Trump's attorneys. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff of California and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York have each used Hamilton's words…

Lead House impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., contends Donald Trump must be removed from office for seeking the investigation of a political rival. But last April, Schiff argued in a Washington Post column that a president has a duty -- as a matter of national security -- to investigate a candidate from the rival…

The ruling by the nation's top spy court that at least two of the four warrants obtained by the Obama administration to surveil onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page were "not valid" states that the FBI must "sequester all" relevant information and evidence. The notation prompted speculation that convictions obtained in Robert Mueller's special counsel…

House impeachment manager Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., on Friday likened Donald Trump's presidency to the Civil War, the 1929 stock market crash, the Great Depression, World War II, Jim Crow and 9/11.

Despite massive rallies in support of the Second Amendment, Virginia Democrats are proceeding with attempts to dismantle the right to bear arms in the commonwealth. Now, at least one elected official wants to chip away at the First Amendment as well. The attack on free speech is hidden in a bill that is nominally about…

To the left, Trump and his entire family are a bunch of low-down dirty crooks. It's so bad that the hags on "The View" couldn't even bring themselves to speak Donald Trump Jr.'s name. That's derangement. Yet when doing a comparison of the Trump family to the families of at least two of his highest-ranked…

An unwatchable impeachment trial proceeds at molasses pace in Washington, its outcome a foregone conclusion. Meanwhile, in Iowa another drama awaits as Democratic caucus goers prepare to choose their favorite candidate. But there too the outcome is certain: For whichever Democrat comes out on top, he or she will in the end be bested by…

Following Monday's 22,000-plus strong rally in Richmond, Virginia – which Gov. Northam claimed was "some kind of über-Klan rally of white supremacists," but the only arrest was for an LGBT activist who refused to remove her mask – the state's Democratic lawmakers proceeded to push through a gun-control bill one day later. I don't think…

Having endured watching some of the impeachment trial proceedings this week – and I must confess that I could not endure all of it – it's difficult in a family-friendly column to describe the pathetic and dishonest performance of the likes of the Democratic House managers, and in particular House Intel Committee Chairman Adam Schiff.…

As if we didn't have enough to worry about with terrorism, nuclear proliferation and, yes, political enemies, now we have the threat – in fact, a very real one – of what could be an international health catastrophe. And it all goes back to China. There's a new and apparently deadly virus circulating in that…

If the impeachment pandemic now in the U.S. Senate was a serious endeavor to remove the president of the United States over a telephone call, you would think that the House of Reprehensatives would have at least conducted its casting call and auditions before sending these excruciating nincompoops to prime time in the Senate. But…
