A heckler is commonly defined as someone who “interrupts a performer or public speaker with derisive or aggressive comments or abuse.” It’s been six months since the heckling stopped. Six months since the last White House press briefing. Six months devoid of noxious nonsense. The national media think they’re in some kind of priesthood. Their

MONACA, Pennsylvania — All Darrin Kelly wanted for the energy workers in Western Pennsylvania was that the Democratic presidential hopefuls would talk to them before going to war against shale. That opportunity slipped away last Friday when Elizabeth Warren joined Bernie Sanders in calling for a total fracking ban. “On my first day as president,

The last debate among 10 Democrats seeking their party’s nomination for president set a new low for demagoguery, contempt for America and just plain foolishness. Here are some examples: Andrew Yang: “In America today, everything revolves around the almighty dollar — our schools, our hospitals, our media, even our government.” It is difficult to imagine

One of the longstanding truisms in presidential election politics is that the state of Florida is prioritized as a must-win for both the Republican and Democratic parties. It was the setting for one of the most surreal moments in the history of America, when the highly controversial 2000 presidential election between Texas Governor George W.

Planned Parenthood is out with a new teen sex “education” book. Titled In Case You’re Curious, the book monetizes questions Planned Parenthood says teens have asked it over the years by compiling those questions, along with Planned Parenthood’s answers, in one book. A Kindle or paperback copy will cost you $16.95, perhaps an indication that

Remember when Google’s motto was, “Don’t be evil”? That single three-word phrase prefaced the company’s entire code of conduct for 17 years. It was a model for their employees’ behavior and a simple summation of the company’s philosophical outlook. But in 2018, Google surreptitiously removed the clause from all company documents. Google doesn’t use that motto anymore,

I wish I’d taken a picture. I’d turned off North Lamar and was driving north on the 183 service road. It has just rained, which makes Austin traffic even more ridiculous than usual. The rumor of rain will extend your commute by 15 minutes. An actual drop, half an hour. We’d had a quick storm,

No one saw it coming when, on July 9, 2018, President Donald J. Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to succeed Justice Anthony Kennedy on the United States Supreme Court. The Democrats and their media and left-wing activist allies would surely oppose Kavanaugh; the question was on what grounds. He had a spotless record. Kavanaugh’s former classmates at

In all of the decades that the modern version of the contentious debate in America over guns, freedom, and the Second Amendment has been going on, the gun control advocates have repeatedly assured gun owners of one thing: they don’t want to take our guns away from us. My, what a difference one presidential primary

Perhaps Mayor Pete Buttigieg would have a better shot at appealing to Christian voters if he would not go to such extreme lengths to contort Scripture to rationalize his party’s abominable stance on abortion. The Democratic presidential candidate openly expresses his Christian faith and was the first candidate to hire a national faith outreach director.

The top ten Democrats faced off for the first time Thursday in the third Democratic debate. Frontrunner and former Vice President Joe Biden faced off with his two closest challengers, Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg fought to hold on to their second-tier

It was a real race to the bottom between CNN and The New York Times on Wednesday to see which could have the most God-awful hot take on the eighteenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. I’m going to give the edge to the Times because its awfulness was presented as journalism, while CNN at least offered its idiocy

Last week I wrote about a plan in the works in Congress that purports to take on rising pharmaceutical drug prices. Now House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s drug plan has leaked – and it’s even worse. The draft leaked this week constitutes an aggressive intrusion by the government into the private healthcare market. As written, it

As it did in 1992, the anti-Republican, anti-President Donald Trump media is covering Trump’s economy as negatively as possible while keeping a straight face. After all, unemployment is at historical lows, most Americans feel optimistic about their own economic future, and most credit Trump with the growing economy. Trump’s predecessor was the first president since
