Our failed state Legislature – stuck and bored, as many are in Sacramento – found its hollowed-out soulmate the other day. The failed lawmakers – remember their last celebrated law? I don’t, either – hired the failed former U.S. attorney general, Eric (Empty) Holder, who couldn’t produce a single accomplishment in his six-year term except to talk about racial bias, … Read More

Los Angeles Times reporter Cathleen Decker

What is a girl reporter to do? When the effusive Donald J. Trump pilloried Hillary on Nov. 8, Cheeky Cathy Decker pledged to get even. Promoted to her highest level of profile – Trump editor — after wilting for 38 summers at the Los Angeles Times, Cheeky Cathy is flying higher than the kids who voted “yahoo” on last November’s … Read More

How fitting that President Obama, who made the wimpburger the symbol of his domestic and foreign policy, delivered his chest-pounding farewell address in the crime capital of America. Tut-tut, however. This was no time for reality, no time to confess that: Chicagoans – mostly black — are slaughtering each other at a record clip that only would be impressive if … Read More

Dr. Gyi

This is the second time in recent history that the winner of the popular vote did not win enough electoral votes to win the White House. The unique feature of the Nov. 8 presidential election was the fact that Hillary Clinton won 2.8 million more popular votes than Donald Trump. Not only that, she also won more votes than Donald … Read More

Just before slipping back into Hollywood irrelevancy, smarmy Meryl Streep, the noted political commentator, took a swipe the other night at the almost-president of the United States. Shrewd, eh? How better to revive a 67-year-old’s flagging career. The liberal senior citizen wore a plunging neckline to the Golden Globes. Unsurprisingly, no one looked. If her eye-free body couldn’t attract a … Read More

When the Shockingly Unexpected Visits You

Almost without interruption, I have been religious all of my life, from the day I was born to committed parents. Religious persons may not live so differently from others. What distinguishes them, us, is how they react when crises befall them. When my wife died in 2015, I was certain this was the darkest shadow that could envelop me. I … Read More

Racism Here, Racism There, Racism Everywhere

Libbies cannot make up their bigoted little minds. Is same preferable? Or is opposite more desirable? Several years ago, gun-toting libby bullies told the world, “Accept gay marriage or be branded a racist, and we will kill you.” A terrified, intimidated world made gay love legal for the first time in the history of the planet. Men talk about their … Read More

Nominees Should Sail Smoothly

Hugh HewittOP-EDLeave a Comment

Mr. Hewitt

Hearings on President-elect Trump’s Cabinet nominees open this week, and all should be concluded after a day or two with positive committee votes and rapid floor votes of confirmation. Not a single nominee appears yet to be in any way endangered. While interest groups on the left are furiously fundraising off of cries of alarm and doom, the “Reid Rule” … Read More

As if today’s rainstorm secretly had been plotted and planned by undercover meteorologists on a sunny day in the war year of 1944, the crowd of suckers known as Hillary Hopers wants naïve Americans to swallow the nonsense that Russia swayed the election from Sneaks Clinton to Donald J. Trump. Like unhealthy fish who have overimbibed, liberals have been flailing … Read More

Trump and Truth: Strangers

Mr. Elias

California’s government soon will begin to learn what it means to deal with a president who very frequently is less than truthful. The reality of Donald John Trump’s relationship with facts and truth apparently didn’t matter much to voters in the many small-population states which together provided the Electoral College majority that’s about to put him into the White House … Read More
