New Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tom Perez has had a bit of a tough weekend in the world of social media. His statement, Friday, about the party’s stance on abortion – and his implied intention to withhold support from pro-life candidates – has effectively alienated many democrat voters and even several elected Democratic politicians. His statement also represents the party’s continued shift to the extreme left.
Yes, that’s right; for social justice warriors, the problem is free will. Every one of us should live, dress, act and speak in a manner that befits our station in life and racial heritage. The moment one chooses to step outside that boundary, one is oppressing and victimizing someone else.
Chances are, most of you reading this have a retirement account filled with some mix of stocks and bonds. Nearly all of you have a credit card or a debit card in your wallet. Many readers own their homes, have a savings account, or put some money away in a college fund for their children. These are all mainstream investments, and make no mistake, they are required to live a typical American lifestyle. Is there any need for alternative investments above and beyond these financial mainstays?
Proving their capacity to be seen as an intolerant bully around the globe, Russia’s Supreme Court this week ruled that Jehovah’s Witnesses were an “extremist” group, and ordered to immediately disband and relinquish all properties and holdings to the state.
Elections in France are normally not of interest to Americans. This year’s French presidential election is an entirely different story because of the controversial candidate Marine Le Pen of National Front, who has been likened to a French version of President Trump. If she wins, the course of Europe and the EU could substantially change.

As conservatives and libertarians strain to build a durable Conservatarian coalition, the gulf between the two exists not only on on foreign policy, but on two key domestic issues: the federal war on drugs and immigration.
How to explain this seeming departure from the normal American pattern of accepting the electoral facts, and then continuing the fight in the various constitutional and other forums the system provides? Why is it so different this time? Why are presidential tax returns more important than an eyeball to eyeball confrontation in Northeast Asia? Why must we place the travel and residential preferences of non-US citizens over the security of Americans? Why must non-leftists be barred from the Supreme Court?
With his boyish good looks, fat wallet, and the hottest chick in America on his arm, Jared Kushner is emerging as the boy-wonder in the Trump administration. From his cushy west wing office (a very short walk from the Oval Office), the all-access pass to meetings with foreign leaders and the ability to jettison off to the middle east for a boots on the ground scoop from the troops, young Mr. Kushner is garnering attention from the left, right and all points in between. And it appears that his presence, so prominent in Trumpville, is irritating absolutely everyone who have had the unfortunate fate of crossing his path.
