As I watched my neighbor put her dog’s poop in a single-use plastic baggy, I thought about split pants in China. When my wife and I got off the plane, 18 years ago, to adopt our first daughter, we were taken aback by the split pants. Split pants are (or at least were, back then) pants the children wear that are open in the crotch area. That allows them to urinate or defecate unobstructed, onto the street or wherever they may be. The theory is that eventually they will learn to “aim it at the toilet” or something to that...

Democrats in the US Senate were able to exploit the cloture rule to prevent the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act” from coming to a vote. The bill introduced by Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb) would have required a health care practitioner to render medical assistance to a baby that survives an attempted abortion. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called the legislation “fake, dishonest, and extreme legislation. It would interfere with the final execution of a woman’s decision to terminate an unwanted child. Just because a doctor flubs the abortion procedure doesn’t mean the mother’s right to abort this child is...

MSNBC host Ali Velshi brought Roland on to discuss the South Carolina primary. “You are a man of faith,” Velshi touted, “and one of the issues in the last several years has been Donald Trump has been viewed as an object of suspicion by some people of faith… How do Democrats who are trying to court particularly the black religious vote deal with this?” He trashed all Trump-backing white evangelicals as not just fake Christians, but as racists

While boasting that he’s not “sleepy,” Joe Biden thanked the wrong host during an interview Sunday morning. After his Saturday victory in South Carolina, Biden appeared on three Sunday shows: “Fox News Sunday,” ABC’s “This Week,” and NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Unfortunately for Biden, the hosts were apparently easily confused. Biden wrapped his interview with Fox’s Wallace anticipating debating President Trump, “I want people to see me standing next to him, and him standing next to me — we will see who is sleepy.”

Not withstanding Joey’s win in the South Carolina primary yesterday, it still looks like Bernie’s on top of the heap. In the past such an anti-Semitic candidate would be automatically ruled out, but not anymore. Bernie seems to wear the tag proudly. Yes, he’s a Jew who lost relatives in the Holocaust, and he calls himself pro-Israel. But he’s clearly made common cause with some of the most vile haters of Israel — and Jews. One of his surrogates, Amer Zahr, has slammed the “Jewish jihad” against Palestinians. Another, Linda Sarsour, is a fan of noted anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan.Others in...

The homeless problem in San Francisco is out of control. Also, the poop problem is huge. San Francisco residents reported more than 30,000 cases of poop to authorities in 2019, city records show. What was once a hub for newcomers is leaving a bad taste in the mouths of its former residents as more and more citizens of the San Francisco Bay Area are jumping ship at a record-breaking pace. This is what happens when one party has been in control for TOO many years. Pelosi needs to go and maybe DeAnna Lorraine is the person who will replace her....

He wants to be the president who appoints the first black female to the United States Senate! – That is exactly what Quid Pro Joe Biden told an audience at a rally on Friday, and the rest of the Democrat presidential field is so weak that they voted for him anyway. So, now America’s Unfrozen Caveman Senator gets to be the Democrats’ Unfrozen Caveman Comeback Kid. For about 72 hours. By then, most of the results from the Super Tuesday states will have come in, and Crazy Uncle Joe will be right back where he belongs, sucking the wind of...

“Two Men You’re Related to” (Romans 5:12-19) You know those ancestry tests you can take? You know, the ones where you spit into a little tube, and you send it off, and then they let you know what your ancestry is. And they’ll even give you lists of names of people you’re related to, including people maybe you didn’t know you were related to. Well, today I’m going to tell you about two people you definitely are related to, and--guess what--you don’t even have to spit into a tube. And so our theme this morning: “Two Men You’re Related to.”...

How many different ways have the idiots of The Left found to ruin men's lives in the modern world? Australia has recently: A. Put its 2nd highest ranking catholic ever into gaol for five years on a pedophilia conviction based on the shaky testimony of one alleged victim, when the other alleged victim denied he had been abused. The abuse is supposed to have happened on a Sunday shortly after mass in a busy cathedral in a room with an open door. B. Sacked its best player in the Rugby Union football code thereby preventing him from competing in a...

“Anything that they can use to try to hurt Trump, they will,” Trump Jr. said. “But for them to try to take a pandemic and seemingly hope that it comes here and kills millions of people so that they could end Donald Trump’s streak of winning is a new level of sickness.” In response, congressman Garamendi threatened Don Jr. with physical violence on national TV. “He should not be near me when he says that,” Garamendi said during an interview with MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson. “Why not?” Jackson asked. “There would be a serious altercation,” the congressman replied. “That is just totally...

With polls trending toward a more favorable view of President Trump among African-American voters, CNN's Angela Rye expressed her dismay. "Shame on you," she exclaimed. "Our people have been voting Democrat since FDR was president. Are you going to turn your back on this long-term bond?" Rye called the record unemployment lows under Trump's policies "crumbs. It might seem great to have a job or own a small business, but do you realize that these options force you to work to earn a living? Democrats are the ones that have abolished having to work for a living for millions of...

A woman in St. Louis has a frightening tale to tell after she was attacked and the suspect was apparently allowed to walk free. Her name is Alicia Clarke and she was attacked by her neighbor who tackled her, pulled her hair, broke her nose, and stabbed her with a metal rod. This was all over an incident where she lost her phone, used the 'Find My Iphone' to locate it, and confronted the teenage neighbor who responded by attacking her and leaving her a mess.

Finally—a stock market I can like! As the legendary investment guru Benjamin Graham argued, in the short run the market is a voting machine; in the long run, it is a weighing machine. This week the market voted for Bernie. I love it when good companies go on sale for 20 percent off! A bit sorry I gave up my VIX position last year though. But the stock market is not the only thing showing newfound volatility: a series of polls in recent days report Joe Biden showing signs of life after all (and yes, I know how weird it...
