Beloved CBS show "Walker, Texas Ranger" is set for a reboot, but some fans may be less than thrilled to hear that the show is also slated to undergo a couple of woke changes. For instance, Sgt. Cordell Walker's new partner will be a woman and his younger brother will be gay. According to Variety, the new CW show will simply be called "Walker" and will showcase stars Jared Padalecki, Lindsey Morgan, and Keegan Allen. Padalecki, from the CW's "Supernatural," will play the lead as a widower and father with his own moral code who returns to Austin to find...

K.T. McFarland, conservative politico, pundit, analyst and a former national security figure in President Donald Trump’s administration, told a rapt radio audience just recently that Robert Mueller’s thuggish investigators treated her so poorly, so viciously and so unfairly — trying to get her to cop to crimes she didn’t commit and accuse others of crimes they didn’t commit, either — that she and her husband, minus hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees, fled to Scotland to recover and reflect on the New America: the place where civil rights are routinely violated by entrenched, smug bureaucrats.Her story is eye-opening...

MSNBC's Chris Matthews, the host of "Hardball," made waves Saturday when he compared Sen. Bernie Sander's (D-VT) victory in Nevada to the Nazis overrunning the Maginot Line in France in 1940. Lefties – and those who are predominantly Bernie supporters – called on Matthews to resign or for the television network to fire the long-time host. Derek Hunter pointed out the one thing conservatives have said for years: the left loves to compare President Trump to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. They throw the term around willy nilly. The word was used against one of their own and suddenly there's...

Well, here’s a name that doesn’t pop up in the news all that often these days. The last time we heard from George Zimmerman (of Trayvon Martin shooting fame), he was suing Martin’s family for 100 million dollars. But his attorneys must have some extra time on their hands because two more lawsuits were just announced. And they’re being brought against Democratic primary hopefuls Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg.If that sounds rather strange to you it’s probably because, well… it is kind of strange. Zimmerman is claiming defamation and the source of his accusation is, of course, something from...

The chaos of last night’s Nevada caucus continues to ripple into Sunday. Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg wants the Democratic Party to do a recount because of so-called irregularities and anomalies at multiple precincts, specifically involving early votes. Via Las Vegas Review-Journal: “Currently our data shows that this is a razor thin margin for second place in Nevada, and due to irregularities and a number of unresolved questions we have raised with the Nevada Democratic Party, it’s unclear what the final results will be,” said Hari Sevugan, Buttigieg’s deputy campaign manager.The Buttigieg campaign asked that the alleged errors...

Sen. Bernie Sanders says he wants “a political revolution.” His most ardent supporters say they want “blacklists” — their word, not mine. Revolution or blacklists? They are saying the same thing. If you want to know what Sanders’ “revolution” would look like, the answer is right there in front of your eyes: One part House Un-American Activities Committee, one part Maoist Cultural Revolution. ... Sanders puts forward a great many proposals that are, to put it charitably, unlikely to gain traction in DC, where Republicans still have a vote — especially if those Republicans retain control of one or more...

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida -- In a demonstration Thursday for the U.S. Army's top civilian official, a Sikorsky-Boeing team flew experimental helicopter prototypes that could one day become the service's next scout and assault rotorcraft under the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program.

This was the first flight demonstration of the Defiant for Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy. Sen. Tammy...

Just a few days ago, Aaron Davis, of Long Branch was sentenced to a year in prison for leaving a puppy in a cage alongside the water. His attorney, Adamo Ferreira, said, “The sentence was overkill. There was no reason to sentence Mr. Davis to jail. It’s a fourth-degree offense. This was his first indictable conviction.” Also a few days ago, Zachary Madle, a 23-year old from North Wildwood, admitted he engaged in non-consensual sexual contact with a barely-conscious woman and recorded the encounter on SnapChat and was sentenced to five years of probation. It was the longest term the...

Francis’ Nightmares for the Church: Analysis of New Apostolic Exhortation Francis had some dreams, but they are really nightmares for the Church. These are not the dreams of the Patriarch Joseph, nor those of St. Joseph or St. John Bosco. They clearly do not come from the same source as the visions granted to these holy men.On Feb. 12, 2020, the Vatican released the dreaded Apostolic Exhortation Querida Amazonia (QA), relating to the Synod on the Amazon that was held in Rome in October 2019. Dated February 2, the document is a bizarre relation of Francis’ “dreams” for the Amazon...

I've seen it before, but am watching it again. Is anyone watching (or has seen) "The Men Who Built America"? Phenomenal. Brilliant, innovative (and RUTHLESS) men who helped make this country. Oh, it also includes some commentary by (then mogul) Donald Trump!
