“Breadline” Bernie Sanders Wants a Rigged Economy
Welcome to ConservativeOpinion.com. Today’s question is “Is Bernie Sanders right that the economy is rigged.” I call him “Breadline Bernie,” by the way, not just because he’s a socialist, but because this is the same guy who actually praised bread lines, saying, and this is a quote: “Breadlines are a good thing. In other countries, […]
“Danger” is the new “I’m Offended,” and it’s a Deliberate Attack on Free Speech
Free speech does not protect speech that carries an impermissible risk of public danger, such as shouting “fire” in a crowded theatre. So now the Left shouts “danger” to silence their opponents, even where none exists, simply because it’s more effective than merely being “offended.” There’s a phenomenon in linguistics known as the “euphemism […]

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was Right! Twice! In the Same Week! (Accidentally).
It is often observed, and never in a positive way, that even a broken clock is right twice a day. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — our twenty-something bartender-turned-congresswoman-turned-economist/climate scientist — managed to be right twice in the past week, which, while still falling short of the proverbial defective clock, is still quite an accomplishment for her.
Governor Murphy’s Private Sector Retirement Scam is a Giant Kickback to Wall Street
Murphy’s “Secure Choice Savings Program” is his attempt to raid private savings and amass a large stockpile of money from which his Wall Street buddies can pilfer hundreds of millions of dollars in exorbitant management fees every year.
