Rampant (1974). If I were visited by an alien who wanted to know what rock-and-roll music is, I would play this song for him/her/it.

To the editor:

Vice President Mike Pence was quoted as saying at the antiabortion March for Life in Washington on Friday, “Life is winning in America, and today is a celebration of that progress.” (“Trump makes for an odd champion for abortion foes, but his latest moves give them reason for optimism,” Jan. 27)

While I do not dispute that an unborn child is life, I cannot understand or support a group of pro-lifers or leaders who deny that our Earth, home to the human race and all life, is in grave danger due to climate change. Nor can I support pro-lifers who agree with suspending the acceptance of refugee children from war-torn Syria.

This is only a partial list of contradictions for those who boast of being pro-life. Indeed, under the ignorant leadership of President Trump and Pence, life is losing, not winning.

Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column. Key paragraph:

Now, normal people would typically react with alarm and disgust at this kind of bizarre pageant, assuming they cared enough to pay attention to it. In the off chance they happened to encounter it while flipping channels, they would likely lunge for the remote so as not to poison innocent ears with puffy former starlet Ashely Judd’s anatomically incorrect slam poetry. Never have so many hotness-challenged crones so vehemently rejected being grabbed while simultaneously being at so little risk of it.

Hilarious!

With all the fear and consternation going on today regarding “Extreme vetting” and foreign citizens not being allowed into our great country, many seem to be referring to the absolutely beautiful quote on the Statue of Liberty itself.

In part, the inscription reads: “. . . Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free . . .” Gripping and inspiring, right?

However, I cannot fail to believe that, given enough room on the statue, it would have continued to say: Except if they are trying to kill us!

Note from KBJ: Right on, brother.

Everybody is arguing whether or not it is a BAN. Call it what you want, it is about keeping bad people (with bad intentions) out of country!

Here is Ann Coulter's latest column. What would we do without her?

Harvard law professor Noah Feldman weighs in on President Trump's nomination of Neil M. Gorsuch to the Supreme Court of the United States. How cool is it that we will have a credentialed philosopher (D.Phil., Oxford) on the Supreme Court?
