Ann Reminisces about the Grateful Dead

    On Friday, June 24, 2016, Ann wrote a piece posted on Billboard concerning what she remembers about the Grateful Dead and her experience at their concerts.

Ann Writes Column about Trump Not Going to the Fox Debate

    On Thursday, January 28, 2016, Ann wrote a guest column for the Hollywood Reporter. It is about Trump raising money for veterans rather than going to the Fox debate.

New Column: "Don't Ask Him That! It Would Be Too Obvious"

    On Wednesday, November 11, 2015, Ann published this week's column. It is about the recent Republican debate and targets mainly Marco Rubio. Here's a quote on Cruz:

"Given his record, it's too late for Rubio to take America's side on immigration. But it's still amazing that only Ted Cruz is smart enough to adopt Trump's runaway, most popular position.

After coming in the lower-middle of the last three debate polls, Cruz finally made it to the No. 2 spot this week. By sheer coincidence, it was the first debate where he fully adopted Trump's position on immigration."

    Here's Ann's closing sentence:

"We need to have at least one GOP debate where the only topics allowed for discussion are: immigration, trade and crime -- i.e., (1) the only domestic policies Republicans disagree on, and (2) the only policies that directly affect most people's lives."

Ann's New Column: "OK, Who Ordered the Mexican Heroin?"

    On Wednesday, November 4, 2015, Ann released her new column. Here are some quotes:

"Heroin use in the United States increased by nearly 80 percent between 2007 and 2012 alone, and The New York Times' main reaction to this depressing fact is to be overjoyed that the new addicts are mostly white."

"Excitedly reporting that "nearly 90 percent of those who tried heroin for the first time in the last decade were white" -- yay! -- the Times claimed that, with white kids dying from heroin overdoses, their parents are taking a "more forgiving approach" to heroin addiction.

Assuming that's even true, are grieving parents the best source of public policy recommendations? If we're basing our drug policies on the feelings of parents whose kids overdosed on drugs, how about having the parents of kids who have been raped and murdered write our death penalty laws?"

"Even when Mexicans dump illegal drugs on our country, it's America's fault. As the Times explained in an Aug. 30, 2015, article, Mexico increased opium production by 50 percent in 2014, "the result of a voracious American appetite.""

"Despite the Times' neurotic obsession with the racial breakdown of heroin users, it seems sublimely uninterested in the ethnic composition of heroin pushers. This is more than the left's usual affection for criminals.

Contrary to the cliches, most drug dealers aren't black: They're Hispanic. In 2013, 48 percent of drug offenders in federal prison were Hispanic. Only 27 percent were black and 22 percent white."

Column: "The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth, but They Shouldn’t Be President"

    On Wednesday, October 28, 2015, Ann published her latest column. It is about people saying Trump isn't very Christian. Here are some quotes:

"The idea that Christians are supposed to be milquetoasts is liberal propaganda. Ask the money-changers how meek Jesus was... God commanded the Israelites to go to certain cities and kill "every living thing.""

"This is not an election about who can check off the most boxes on an evangelical lifestyle list. This is an election about saving the concept of America, the last hope for Christianity on the planet."

"Some Christians want proof that a candidate has memorized Bible verses. I want a candidate who lives by this verse: "So do not be afraid of them."" [Quote from Matthew 10:26.]

New Column: "Save Us from Paul Ryan and the Kemp Boys"

    On Wednesday, October 21, 2015, Ann posted her new column. Here are some quotes:

"In the 1996 vice presidential debate, Al Gore repeatedly praised Kemp for not being a racist -- unlike the rest of his party. After Gore called Kemp a "lonely voice" in the GOP, "who says we ought to be one nation," Kemp did not say:

MY PARTY? YOUR PARTY HAS A FORMER KLAN MEMBER IN THE SENATE! YOUR FATHER VOTED AGAINST THE 1964 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT! YOUR PARTY DESTROYED THE BLACK FAMILY!

No, Kemp's response was: "Well, I thank you, Al. I mean that very, very sincerely.""

"Two years ago, Ryan bragged to a Catholic radio station: "I actually campaigned with Jack Kemp against a thing called Prop 187."

That "thing" was an overwhelmingly popular initiative to prevent illegal aliens from collecting government benefits. It gave Republicans their biggest victory in California in the last 30 years, was supported by a majority of blacks, a majority of whites, a majority of Asians and 31 percent of Hispanics.

Two years later, the Dole-Kemp ticket got only 21 percent of the Hispanic vote. That's worse than Romney!" [Hyperlink removed.]

Ann Wrote an Article for the Hill

    On Monday, October 19, 2015, (at 4:55pm EDT) Ann wrote a piece for the Hill about Trump and polls, called: "Trump is like Reagan and the media is clueless about it."

    It is full of quotes and stats/polls from when Reagan was running and how they parallel Trump now. Here are some quotes:

"Even Reagan wasn’t dominating the polls then the way Trump is now. In the Post’s poll, Reagan was at 27 percent, compared to 13 to 15 percent for everybody else, including undecideds. Since announcing his candidacy four months ago by talking about Mexican "rapists," Trump has been polling at around 20 percent to 30 percent, with nearly every other candidate stuck in the single digits."

"It all worked out in the end. Reagan was elected and saved the nation, allowing liberals and traitorous businessmen to spend the next couple of decades trying to wreck it — requiring a new, intensely supported front-runner, bashed as unelectable, to come in and save it again."

Column: "Hispanics Wouldn't Vote GOP If You Held a Gun to Their Heads"

    On Wednesday, September 14, 2015, Ann's new column came out. Here are some quotes:

"But Democrats have made a calculated decision that they are not going to win a majority of gun owners, so they denounce them with abandon, making no concessions at all.

Why don't Republicans do that with the Hispanic vote? Somehow, the left has convinced the GOP to obsess over winning people who will never give us a majority of their votes, which is the exact opposite of the Democrats' strategy for themselves.

I would wager that Democrats get more votes from NRA members than Republicans do from La Raza members (0). But try to imagine a Republican answering the "enemies" question: "La Raza."

Republicans don't need to treat Hispanics with the contempt that Democrats treat gun-owners."

"Donald Trump opened his campaign talking about Mexican rapists, pledged to build a wall and deport illegals -- and has soared to the top of the polls.

The massive Hispanic blowback consists of this: Trump is getting about the same percentage of the Hispanic vote as Romney did."

Column: "The Problem Isn't Guns or White Men"

    On Wednesday, October 7, 2015, Ann posted her new column. It is about the recent Oregon college shooting. In one paragraph she seems to misunderstand a statistic (mistaking 17 Americans per 100,000 as 17 Americans in total (the number should be 50,000~)). Anyway, here are some quotes:

"There's a rigid formula in media accounts of mass shootings: If possible, blame it on angry white men; when that won't work, blame it on guns."

"When will the public rise up and demand that the therapeutic community stop loosing these nuts on the public? After the fact, scores of psychiatrists are always lining up to testify that the defendant was legally insane, unable to control his actions. That information would be a lot more helpful before the wanton slaughter.

Product manufacturers are required by law to anticipate that some idiot might try to dry his cat in the microwave. But a person whose job it is to evaluate mental illness can't be required to ascertain whether the person sitting in his office might be unstable enough to kill?" [Emphasis original.]

"Liberals will howl about "stigmatizing" the mentally ill, but they sure don't mind stigmatizing white men or gun owners. About a third of the population consists of white men. Between a third and half of all Americans have guns in the home. If either white men or guns were the main cause of mass murder, no one would be left in the country."

Column: "The War on America Turns 50"

    On Wednesday, September 30, 2015, Ann's new column was posted. Here are some quotes:

"Half a century ago, Democrats looked at the country and realized they were never going to convince Americans to agree with them. But they noticed that people in most other countries of the world already agreed with them. The solution was obvious.

So in 1965 -- 50 years ago this week -- Sen. Ted Kennedy passed an immigration law that has brought 59 million foreigners to our shores, who happen to vote 8-2 for the Democrats.

Democrats haven't won any arguments; they changed the voters."

"Apparently, the "American experiment" is actually some kind of sociological trial in which we see if people who have no history of Western government can run a constitutional republic."

"I know it's gauche to consider what Americans want, but how about the immigrants? Presumably some didn't come only for the welfare, crime and terrorism opportunities. They decided to move to the United States -- not Mexico or Somalia or China -- because they wanted to live in America. If our current immigration policies aren't stopped, they're going to wonder why they bothered."

Column: "Useless Idiots"

    On Wednesday, September 23, 2015, Ann posted her new column: "Useless Idiots." Here is a quote:

"...Perhaps Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina are soaring in the polls not because they're "outsiders," but because they're not dumb. I notice that, other than Ted Cruz, they're the only GOP candidates for president who went to top schools.

I think we want a president who's better than us."

New Column: "Donald Trump: The Only People Who Like Him Are the Voters"

    On Wednesday, September 16, 2015, Ann's new column came out and it's about the Republican candidates trying too much to be like Reagan. Here are some quotes:

"Formulaic applications of Reagan's policies from the 1980s don't always work the same way they did in the 1980s."

    "So why would those same policies work now?" implies Ann.

"But James B. Stewart gasses on in The New York Times about Trump's "name­calling, personal attacks and one-liners that have vaulted him to the top of the polls." In the entire article, Stewart never mentions immigration.

Perhaps some minority of people will vote for Trump because of his personality. But I notice that it's his position on immigration that gets thousands of people leaping to their feet.

The media will talk about anything but Trump's specific, detailed policies on immigration -- all while claiming he doesn't have any "policy details." The very fact that the entire media -- including most of the conservative commentariat -- obdurately refuse to acknowledge the popularity of Trump's immigration plans is exactly why Trump is exploding in the polls."

Breitbart Publishes Ann's Piece: "Hitler-Appeasing, FDR-Hating Trumbo Sweeps Hollywood!"

    On Thursday, September 10, 2015, Breitbart published Ann's piece, "Hitler-Appeasing, FDR-Hating Trumbo Sweeps Hollywood!" It's about the Hollywood Blacklist of Communists and how liberals think that was persecution. Here are some quotes:

"Yes, apparently, things got so dark, that well-paid writers like Dalton Trumbo had to have their names taken off scripts. At one point,Trumbo even had to do his writing from a Mexican resort.

Meanwhile, Ukrainians were eating their shoes and watching their children starve to death in Stalin’s orchestrated famine and Jews were being hauled off to the gas chambers by Hitler. Both regimes championed by Trumbo and the other Hollywood 10.

But Dalton Trumbo was forced to write scripts under another name for about decade. The horror.

Liberals all have McCarthy-victim envy. They long to be persecuted – provided they never have to miss a meal. So they keep making these movies about Stalinists allegedly persecuted for their "political views."" [Mistakes original.]

"It’s really heart-wrenching that Trumbo had to suffer the unspeakable horror of writing under a pseudonym. He was never "vindicated" – again in the words of [The Hollywood Reporter] – but he did return to writing major screenplays under his own name, a comeback unavailable to the Hitler and Stalin’s victims, because, you see, they were dead." [Mistakes original.]

New Column Entitled: "Refugees: Another One for The "Not Our Problem" File"

    Here is Ann's new column and here is a quote:

"For at least half a century, the U.S. has taken in the vast majority of the world's refugees. Isn't it somebody else's turn, now?

How about Mexico take in a few "refugees"? Why not El Salvador or Honduras? Could the pope have a word with his co-religionists about the suffering in Syria? How about Vatican City? Talk about the perfect place to build some low-income housing projects!

Maybe it's time the world gets used to life without the United States. If our current immigration policies aren't stopped, this country will soon be nothing more than another failed Latin American state.

Speaking of which, I note that our allies, Japan and Israel, aren't taking in any Syrian refugees. Japan is pretty far away, but Israel is even closer to Syria than Sweden is! Evidently, Japan and Israel aren't as gung-ho about destroying themselves as our European friends are. Donald Trump's soaring popularity suggests that America may not be ready to commit suicide yet, either." [Hyperlink removed.]

Today's Column: "How to Write a New York Times Op-Ed in Three Easy Steps!"

    Here is today's column and here are some quotes:

"I am obsessed with Donald Trump. I wish I could cancel my book tour and just lie in bed watching his speeches all day long. I'm like a lovesick teenager studying Justin Bieber videos."

"[Liberals c]all conservatives "aggrieved" as often as possible. Yes, this from the party of reparations, #BlackLivesMatter, comparable worth, "Lean In," the DREAM Act and so on. If the Democratic Party were a reality TV show, it would be called "America's Got Grievances!""

New Column: "Small but Honest Columnist Again Forced to Correct Highest-Rated Show on Cable TV"

    Here is Ann's new column and here is a quote:

"Perhaps, if asked, the Supreme Court would discover a "constitutional" right for illegal aliens to sneak into the country, drop a baby, and win citizenship for the kid and welfare benefits for the whole family...

But it is a fact that the citizenship of illegal alien kids has never been argued, briefed or ruled on by the Supreme Court."

Ann's New Column: "Fox News Anchored in Stupidity on 14th Amendment"

    Here's Ann's new column and here are some quotes about the 14^th Amendment:

"Still, how could anyone... imagine that granting citizenship to the children of illegal aliens is actually in our Constitution? I know the country was exuberant after the war, but I really don't think our plate was so clear that Americans were consumed with passing a constitutional amendment to make illegal aliens' kids citizens.

Put differently: Give me a scenario... where guaranteeing the citizenship of children born to illegals would be important to Americans in 1868. You can make it up. It doesn't have to be a true scenario. Any scenario!



You know what's really bothering me? If someone comes into the country illegally and has a kid, that kid should be an American citizen!

Damn straight they should!

We've got to codify that.

YOU MEAN IT'S NOT ALREADY IN THE CONSTITUTION?

No, it isn't, but that amendment will pass like wildfire!



It's like being accused of robbing a homeless person. (1) I didn't; (2) WHY WOULD I DO THAT?" [Emphasis original.]

"...[W]e have noted legal expert Bill O'Reilly haranguing Donald Trump: "YOU WANT ME TO QUOTE YOU THE AMENDMENT??? IF YOU'RE BORN HERE YOU'RE AN AMERICAN. PERIOD! PERIOD!" (No, Bill -- there's no period. More like: "comma," to parents born "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States "and of the state wherein they reside.")" [Emphasis original.]

Ann's New Column: "'Immigrant': The New N-Word"

    Here is the new column. Interesting, new Ann fact: Ann has a word limit for her columns.

New Column Entitled: "Donald Trump: Still Right about Mexican Rapists"

    Here is the new column and here are some quotes:

"There's a cultural acceptance of child rape in Latino culture that doesn't exist in even the most dysfunctional American ghettoes."

    After listing examples of horrendous child rapes committed by Hispanics:

"When the crime is this bizarre, it's not "anecdotal." "Child rape perpetrated by more than one family member" isn't your run-of-the-mill crime. It's rather like discovering dozens of cannibalism cases in specific neighborhoods.

How many fourth-generation American father-son child-rape duos do we have? How many American brother-sister teams are conspiring in child rape and murder? How many mothers are helping their boyfriends and husbands get away with raping their own children?

And how many 12-year-old American girls are giving birth -- to the delight of their parents?"

New Column: "Voters To G.O.P.: We're Just Not That into Immigrants"

    Here is Ann's new column and here are some quotes:

"You know how people always say "you can't beat something with nothing." When it comes to amnesty, "nothing" outpolls "something" every time."

"Americans can see they're being forced to subsidize people who are being brought in only to outvote them, provide cheap labor and change our culture. All the donor money in the world isn't going to help you, Republicans, if the voters hate you." [Hyperlink removed.]
