Barack Obama never said, “If you like your trademark, you can keep your trademark,” and apparently you can’t — not if the Obamas want it, anyhow. A small business is learning this the hard way, as the ex-president and Michelle Obama are petitioning to have its lawful trademark cancelled. Otherwise known as intellectual property theft, the Obamas’ justification appears to be, boiled down, “Hey, we’re the Obamas, peon!”

Democrat presidential contender Marianne Williamson won’t get the nomination, but she is getting an education — in the facts of life. “Mugged” by fellow liberals this campaign season, she now laments, “I didn’t think the left was so mean” and “lied like this” — “I thought we were better.”

After reading this, you may never eat another Swedish meatball. While the Green New Deal had been the epitome of “The sky is falling; let’s save the planet!” lunacy, it has been topped by Swedish behavioral scientist Magnus Söderlund’s brainchild: Eating human flesh to preserve the environment.

Satanic invocations, pentagrams, and “Festivus” poles at Christmastime — and now the fourth annual “Pagan Pride Day” in Ann Arbor, Michigan. That’s life in fractured, confused, post-Christian America where, with people awash in relativism and driven by emotion, there soon may be as many “faiths” as feelings.

Irish Bob, the man some call “Beto” O’Rourke, dislikes Americans firing off what some people (incorrectly) call “assault weapons” so much that he’s vowed to seize them. He’s so passionate about that and other issues, in fact, that he fires off f-bombs from his assault mouth to prove it. Sadly, he’s not alone in exhibiting this progressive-disgorged habit — our whole society coarsened, conservatives are conserving the new profane status quo.

Irish Bob’s latest turpitude of the tongue was in response to the weekend’s Odessa-Midland mass shooting. “We don’t know how many have been killed. We don’t know the motivation,” he tweeted August 31. Ever the profound intellectual, however, he continued, “But here’s what we do know: This is f[****]d up.”

“Are There Enough Morally Sound Liberals Left to Keep Pedophilia Illegal?” asked American Thinker’s Christopher Skeet last week. Many would quip, and others would lament, that the phrase “morally sound liberals” is becoming an oxymoron. Others would scoff at Skeet’s assertion: that with the sexual devolution’s perfect track record of collapsing one sexual standard after another, the “next logical target, currently being implemented, is the sexualization of children.”

It may seem crazy. But remember, if you’d have told people in the 1950s that, in a few generations, homosexuality would largely be accepted, same-sex “marriage” would have government sanction, and the “transgender” agenda would be in place — and opposing these things would bring scorn — they’d have called you a nut.

Moreover, is telling little Johnny he can choose to have sex with an adult really crazier than telling him he can choose to “become a girl”? Both are psychologically, morally, and spiritually damaging, but while changing sex is impossible, having sex certainly is not.

“It’s more complicated when it’s about your own children,” said a liberal New York City parent four years ago regarding a plan to forcibly integrate his kid’s Brooklyn school. Not much has changed since then in the Big Apple, except that now things may get more complicated citywide, with a recommended new scheme to “fully integrate” all schools within 10 years.

A recent headline reads, “US is becoming more diverse — and quickly, in certain places.” Whether this is positive is a question most people don’t ponder honestly because, even if they do care, it’s not supposed to be asked. But American Thinker writer David L. Rosenthal is violating this mind muzzle, asking Tuesday, “Is diversity good?”

Interestingly, “diversity” is partially derived from words meaning “contrariety, contradiction, disagreement” and even “wickedness” and “perversity,” according to the Online Etymology Dictionary. No, this tells us nothing definitive about the concept of “diversity” today — that is, not any more than does the mantra “Our strength lies in our diversity!”

In a move that could make Admiral Tojo spin in his grave, the United States military is now considering flying aircraft — its F-35B fighters (shown) — off Japan’s largest warships, as per a request by officials in Tokyo.

If you’re on Medicaid, the program won’t cover your root canal or a nose job that could make you feel better about yourself. But if you want the body alteration known as “gender-reassignment surgery” so you can feel better about yourself, taxpayers must now foot the bill — according to an Obama-appointed judge.
