In this photo provided by Chad Fish, the remnants of a large balloon drift above the Atlantic Ocean, just off the coast of South Carolina, with a fighter jet and its contrail seen below it, Feb. 4, 2023. A missile fired on Feb. 5 by a U.S. F-22 off the Carolina coast ended the days-long flight of what the Biden administration says was a surveillance operation that took the Chinese balloon near U.S. military sites. It was an unprecedented incursion across U.S. territory for recent decades, and raised concerns among Americans about a possible escalation in spying and other challenges from rival China.

Doctors are now America’s Public Enemy Number One

Americans were told the COVID-19 shots would stop the spread of the virus. They didn't. Yet the CDC just added COVID shots to the list of recommended vaccines for kids as young as six months. Why? Because doctors have become derelict in their primary duty of "do no harm." Published February 10, 2023

Biden plus SOTU equals lies, lies, lies, lies

So President Biden is set to deliver his State of the Union address this evening. That is to say: Make way for the lies. The only question is how many Pinocchios will he earn? What a great drinking game this would make. Published February 7, 2023

China, with a single balloon, mocks and weakens America

China can deny, dismiss and apologize all it wants -- fact is, a balloon owned by the communist country found floating over Montana sends a clear, compelling and even chilling message to the world that goes like this: America is weak. Weak, weak and very, very vulnerable. Published February 3, 2023

CDC goes ballistic on eyedrops — but not on COVID shots?

On the heels of fielding 50 reports of eye infections from 11 different states, the CDC has decided enough is enough: The agency is now warning Americans to stop buying and using EzriCare Artificial Tears.

Biden’s bogus ‘end’ of COVID emergency health orders

President Biden is going to "end" on May 11 the two COVID-tied public health emergencies that America has been living under since 2020. Given these same PHEs were due to expire on March 1 and on April 11 -- what Biden actually meant by "end" was expand. Published February 1, 2023

More guns, not fewer, key to safer American streets

Noticeably lacking from all the Democrats' trampling of the Second Amendment is any sort of recognition of the real roots of gun violence; that is to say, these leftists never call for address of broken homes, fatherless homes, open borders that fuel cartel-related trafficking.

Don’t drink the water? Don’t eat EU food

The European Union couldn't get people to go along with its push for people to stop eating meat and instead eat bugs -- so EU elites have sneaked in a rule to let manufacturers use ground-up crickets in place of flour in their starch-based foods. Good time to stock up on MREs. Published January 26, 2023
