‘The Star’ Review: Faith-Based Fun for the Whole Family
November 23rd, 2017 12:20 PM
As previously stated previous, mainstream Hollywood has had quite a dry spell in putting out Christmas movies. Sure, you have the recent A Bad Moms Christmas from the Chinese studio Huayi Brothers, but is there honestly a wide audience to see a sequel to a movie about a group of mothers who engage debauchery and consumption of drugs and alcohol? Lo and behold, along came The Star, an animated re-…
Dumb Sensors, Deadly Consequences
November 22nd, 2017 10:22 AM
The circumstances of U.S. Border Patrol agent Rogelio Martinez's death this week remain murkier than the Rio Grande River. Agent Martinez succumbed to critical head injuries early Sunday morning. An unnamed partner, who came to Martinez's aid after he radioed for help from a remote area of the Big Bend sector in Texas, also suffered serious wounds. Whether by deliberate ambush or accident, one of…
Diversity Obsession
November 22nd, 2017 10:20 AM
A common feature of our time is the extent to which many in our nation have become preoccupied with diversity. But true diversity obsession, almost a mania, is found at our institutions of higher learning. Rather than have a knee-jerk response for or against diversity, I think we should ask just what is diversity and whether it's a good thing. How do we tell whether a college, a department or…
Being Shoved Into Meaninglessness
November 21st, 2017 2:10 PM
I'm an advocate of higher education and all, but so much for assuming that the development of common sense and sound judgment are part of the package. A Pew Research Center poll found that 77 percent of Democrats with a bachelor's degree or more believe a person's gender can be different from the sex they were "assigned at birth." You'll remember that Democrats are the party of science, and…

John Heilemann and the Corruption of the Liberal State Media
November 18th, 2017 4:00 PM
The latest example is to be found from MSNBC’s John Heilemann, who, in a discussion with ex-Bush 43 White House alum-turned-MSNBC host Nicole Wallace, said the following in a discussion of Alabama Judge Roy Moore. Wallace asked:

Comedy Central Comic ‘Roast’ Demands Open Borders
November 18th, 2017 12:30 PM
Jeff Ross has a hard time keeping his immigration policies straight. Compare these two comments made within a week of each other on Comedy Central. Here’s Ross talking to Trevor Noah about immigration on The Daily Show. Noah said the U.S. cannot have open borders despite liberals favoring amnesty-style policies. Ross didn’t appear to disagree.

Silence on Sleaze-Bob Menendez
November 15th, 2017 4:29 PM
The verdict is in. I pronounce Democrat leaders, left-wing feminists and Beltway journalists guilty of gross negligence and hypocrisy over a dirty rotten sleazeball in their midst. For the past 11 weeks, Bob Menendez has been on trial for 18 counts of bribery, fraud and corruption involving nearly $1 million in gifts and donations. The jury remained deadlocked as of Tuesday.
Stalking Horses
November 15th, 2017 4:13 PM
When hunting was the major source of food, hunters often used stalking horses as a means of sneaking up on their prey. They would synchronize their steps on the side of the horse away from their prey until they were close enough for a good shot. A stalking horse had a double benefit if the prey was an armed person. If the stalkers were discovered, it would be the horse that took the first shot.…
Is Using Pesticides an Act of Chemical Warfare?
November 15th, 2017 3:43 PM
A substance that “belongs to a class of chemicals developed as a nerve gas made by Nazi Germany is now found in food, air and drinking water,” thanks to President Donald Trump according to an article found online. This “neurotoxin” is in “same chemical family as sarin nerve gas,” which has been used as a chemical weapon in Syria, notes another writer.
The Corruption of Faith
November 14th, 2017 7:05 PM
When Jim Zeigler, the state auditor of Alabama, invoked the Bible to defend Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore against allegations that he had inappropriate contact with underage girls while single and in his 30s (which Moore has sort of denied), it signaled perhaps the final stage in the corruption of American evangelicalism.

Media Spin: From Virginia and New Jersey to the Dossier and Menendez
November 11th, 2017 4:00 PM
It is always amazing to see how the liberal media play their game of spinning for Democrats. The latest game? To try and convince people that Democratic wins in the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races were - gasp! - upset rebukes for President Trump! Yes, there were increases for Democrats in Virginia. Yes, polling such as that quoted here in The Hill, says Democrats were motivated by…

Watching Netflix Election Doc Is Like Scanning Facebook Over Past Year
November 11th, 2017 12:15 PM
Watching 11/8/16 is like scanning Facebook over the past 12 months. It isn’t pretty. The documentary, available now via iTunes, select theaters and Netflix, is a revealing look at our divided nation all the same. Only it shares more than the filmmakers likely intended.

Could Christmas Movies Be Making a Comeback?
November 11th, 2017 11:15 AM
It’s almost that time of year. Christmas is a time where people put up trees, decorate their houses in some of the most eye-popping ways possible, build gingerbread houses, spend time with their families. Of course, for many, what they truly celebrate is what Peanuts comic character Linus pointed out in the classic special A Charlie Brown Christmas – celebrate the birth of Christ.
An ICE Agent's Quest for Justice
November 8th, 2017 12:34 AM
"Betrayed." Victor Avila is a survivor. Soft-spoken but iron-willed, he dedicated his life to law enforcement and to his country. Yet, the feds are now fighting tooth and nail to bury the full truth about the 2011 ambush by Los Zetas drug cartel thugs in Mexico that left him gravely wounded and his partner, special agent Jaime Zapata, dead. This week, two of the Mexican gangsters convicted in the…
