The Guss Report – Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti’s poker “tell,” an unintended physical tendency that hints at what lies beneath, is a slight nervous grin when speaking dishonestly in close proximity to others. It was on display last Thursday when KCBS’s David Goldstein reported on fraudulent fire inspections at the Los Angeles Fire Dept. He asked the mayor whether he had … Read More

Left-Wing Jews Embarrass Judaism

Dennis PragerOP-EDLeave a Comment

Angry women at the Western Wall defy Jewish tradition that bars women from praying, demonstrating there.

A highly respected American rabbi named Dr. Irving (Yitz) Greenberg used to tell American Jewish audiences, whether Reform, Conservative or Orthodox, “I don’t care what denomination you’re a member of, as long as you’re ashamed of it.” I have adopted that phrase, and I apply it to religions generally. One could just as easily say to Catholics, Protestants and Muslims, … Read More

Lefties Sharpen Their Axes on Bannon

Ari L. NoonanBreaking News, OP-EDLeave a Comment

The Lockstep Left has honed political “character assassination” to such a fine point that they have obliterated the memory of whatever liberal genius invented it. Like gangs of ISIS adherents, the Lockstep Left viciously roams the streets – figuratively — in huge mobs, terrorizing normal Americans through the media. Here is how it works: One Lockstepper develops a groundless idea. … Read More

In the wake of last week’s election, one might have expected reporters to be chastened, with their candidate defeated and their attacks on Donald Trump having proved unavailing if not counterproductive. But they are incorrigible. Mr. Trump is nowhere near being inaugurated, and already reporters are spinning madly. Let’s take just one example from today’s news. The Associated Press (our … Read More

Despite Election Results, We Will Stand Together

Dear Friends and Colleagues,  What happened to this nation last week deserved a moment of silence. We at CHC took the time to talk to each other about what this meant to us as individuals, to our families, to our communities, and to all the hard-won victories that impact equity. In many ways, we will continue to move through a … Read More

Say this for liberals: The boys are versatile – bullies, haters, bullies, racists, bullies, crybabies, bullies, professional protestors (paid by George Soros), bullies, anger-management dropouts, bullies, unemployable swastika-sign painters. The bully boys’ delicious defeat by normal Americans seems fair payback for the ignominious lies they told for 17 months about President-elect Trump. The main talent of these hopelessly jealous liberals … Read More

Left Has 2 Sets of Rules

Erick EricksonOP-EDLeave a Comment

Outside Trump Tower this weekend, a protestor held up a sign encouraging people to rape the future First Lady of the United States. Protestors claim they are protesting Donald Trump’s behavior and words, not his election. But if that is the case, chants of “he’s not my President,” “end the Electoral College,” “Dump Trump,” “Less Votes ≠ President,” and this … Read More

First Ladies Who Are Cool

Paul MirengoffOP-EDLeave a Comment

Grace Coolidge was aptly named.

Melania Trump met yesterday with Michelle Obama at the White House. I doubt that two more physically attractive women have ever met in this context. The meeting went very well, according to all accounts. I suspect that’s what “all accounts” would say regardless of how the meeting actually went. However, I would be very surprised if Michelle Obama was other … Read More

Times Changed Before Polls Did

It just may be that life has overtaken political polling. Just as they have shaken up industries and activities from newspapers to taxicabs, from telephones to shopping, some relatively new technologies are making old reliable survey research techniques and tactics obsolete or inaccurate. This never was more evident than in the presidential polling, which consistently predicted a huge Electoral College … Read More

Fourth in a series.  Re: “Locked in, and No One Answered the Phone” Locked out of my office and with my husband not answering his cell phone, I still thought my sudden, unexpected isolation was no big deal. After all, the car was in the parking lot, and its doors were open. Later I went inside the car, sat and … Read More
