And the world gets ever curiouser and curiouser … with more death and destruction.

Stocks tumble as the roller coaster ride continues ... expect more of the same

Another view on the whys and wherefores of the stock markets' gyrations.

Pope Francis says about what I would expect of the Vicar of Christ ... forgive the sinner (especially if they are "contrite") and hate the sin. It amazes me that anyone would expect him to say otherwise.

And this makes how many police officers killed in the line of duty in the last two weeks? I have lost count. And our President finds time to film a bit for a TV program. Sorry, but down here in the lower 48, Mr. President, there are things needing your attention.

And another police officer apparently is murdered ... sigh

And before you all go off on how white cops shot this man ... I would like to point out that in Bexar County, Texas, two officers with the last names these guys have most likely are Hispanic ...

Iran on ballistic missiles ... we will defy the UN ... and you all can't do nothing about it. Point: I made this the other day ... IRBMs and ICBMs are not designed to carry HE warheads ... too little blast to make effective

Interesting article on Hitler's legacy and how it has changed Europe dramatically ... as well as the world.

The Philippines formally asks for US assistance in the South China Sea ... another step that needs watching

Now, THIS is the vehicle that really has replaced the Jeep in the military's vehicle lineup.

Another plea to stop the decline of the US Navy ... not that this administration or Congress will do anything ... besides, President Obama wants more Coast Guard cutters in the form of icebreakers.

Mr. Prager's observations about the progressive left is so true. It really is disheartening to have to acknowledge it.

Interesting. Iran's President doesn't want the deal to be legally binding. Now, how did we get to this juncture?

Another look at the Iranian president's stand on the deal.

This is not good news for Muslims ...

Compelling argument from this Texas politician ... All Lives Do Matter

This young Marine gives a righteous rant ... I hope more people pay attention to young men and women like him.

The question is will the Obama Administration and the IRS follow the law, or ignore this judge's ruling.

Mr. Sowell aptly points out the results of when we no longer are a nation of laws

The deafening silence from the left points out that all lives do not matter.

This concept has been around for some time ... floating farms ... expect it to get even more attention.

Trump and his endgame ... I think this progressive pundit probably needs to reexamine his assumptions.

I wonder if this is reflective on a growing awareness in the Democrat Party or if it just a voice in the wilderness

Wow, a common-sense decision out of the 9th Circuit  ... wonders never cease

With due respect to this elected official ... she needs to fulfill the obligations of her office to uphold the law, despite how objectionable she might find it.

Dr. Carson apparently had a righteous answer for an atheist.

Unfortunately, this is the VA that many veterans have come to know intimately. It is, folks, an example of what a single-payer, government-run, health care system looks like.
