Comedian Chris Rock has hit out at the gap between the rich and poor – while giving an interview to promote his $12.5million new film.

This Town’s Plan to Take Away a Disabled Girl’s Dog Shows Everything That is Wrong with Busybody Government

Imagine if a bunch of government busybodies decided that they had the right to take away and kill your beloved dog, even though the dog had not attacked anyone, or ever shown any aggressive tendencies. For one family in Moreauville, Louisiana, this isn’t just a cautionary tale of government overreach — it’s reality. The Moreauville […]

Military Miserable Under Obama

Liberals saw fit to choose as Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces a left-wing community organizer whose only qualifications were his politically correct black skin and Muslim name. Let’s see how it is working out from the point of view of those he commands: A stunning number of retired U.S. military leaders were […]

Video Suggests Murder of Zemir Begic Was Racially Motivated

Media authorities tell us that Darren Wilson’s decision to defend himself rather than let Michael Brown kill him was motivated by race, even though zero evidence has been produced that the incident had anything to do with race until liberals seized upon it as a propaganda opportunity. Authorities also tell us that the appallingly savage […]

Disney Blocks God

Because a 10-year-old used the word ‘God’ in her comment on the Disney site on her birthday, they blocked her and told her to be nice. More blatant discrimination against Christians. I wish someone had tried ‘Allah’ to see what happened. Bet the result would have been very different. Todd Starnes of Fox News is […]

VIDEO: Have you Ever Seen A Dog Pet a Human?

Dogs love humans as no other species does. Here’s a perfect example in an adorable Yorkie, named Rilo, who cuddles with his friend Ricky and pets his face. What’s good for the pup, is even better for the owner evidently. This is your puppy cuteness for the day. You’re welcome. Pawfect friend: Mark Land-Ariizumi from […]

We Can Blame Barbie For Rape Culture And “Climate Change”

The Herald Sun’s Andrew Bolt catches something wonky from the Aussie Greens The Greens really are ridiculous, hysterically accusing Barbie of secretly sneaking out of the toy basket to help bash women and steal their pay: GREENS Senator Larissa Waters has urged Christmas shoppers to rethink buying bright pink jewellery or dolls for little girls, […]

How To Not Get Shot By The Police

I’ve had a cop point a gun at me. You can even see the picture of it – which, come to think of it, was probably a bad idea. Who puts his hands over his head and takes a snap of a police officer pointing a rifle at him? But, I was in full journalist […]

Opinions Versus Facts

Everyone seems to have an opinion about the tragic events in Ferguson, Missouri. But, as Daniel Patrick Moynihan used to say, “You’re entitled to your own opinion but you’re not entitled to your own facts.” Soon after the shooting death of Michael Brown, this 285-pound young man was depicted as a “gentle giant.” But, after […]

Miller’s Model: A Solution for Ferguson

  For days, nearly every news media outlet has been consumed with the Ferguson fallout. From coast to coast, pundits and populations have been debating the efficacy of justice and demonstrations. But maybe a true solution for Ferguson — and every other social skirmish like it — can only be found in changing the narrative. […]

You Can Kill, But Not Murder: The Case for the Ten Commandments

Ask almost anyone to recite the commandment in the Ten Commandments that prohibits taking a life and you will be told, “Thou Shall Not Kill.” That is the King James translation of the sixth commandment. It is a magnificent translation. But this one has led to much moral confusion. Yesterday, PragerUniversity.com, which has had more […]

Congress Is Not a Drive-Thru Window

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell won’t become majority leader until next month, and already he is cracking the whip. He’s making senators work on Fridays — or at least they’re supposed to work on Fridays, as the Senate will be in session. Roll Call first billed the Fridays-included-week as part of an “aggressive schedule.” A […]

Response to Ferguson rioters: Restitution and shaming

No matter whose side you are on in the upheaval following the killing of Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, everyone should agree on the profound sadness of it all: sadness that an 18-year-old boy-man walked a path that led to his destruction; sadness that a police officer felt the need […]

Will Body Cameras Solve the Ferguson Problem?

  In the immediate aftermath of Michael Brown’s shooting, before we learned that he had not been shot in the back, that he had not had his hands up, that he had, in fact, attempted to grab Officer Wilson’s gun, I wrote in favor of requiring more police to wear body cameras. Assuming nothing about […]
