Whoopi Goldberg has a right to be wrong
ABC News just suspended Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks from "The View" because she mistakenly, incorrectly and egregiously falsely stated that the Holocaust wasn't "about race" but rather about man's inhumanity to man. This is a missed teaching moment. Published February 2, 2022
Dear Democrats, 70% say enough of the COVID clampdowns
Fully 70% of Americans say they've grown tired of all the coronavirus talk, and equally tired of all the coronavirus clampdowns on freedoms, and they also say it's high time to "get on" with living. In other words: Dear Democrats, it's time to find a new political tool. Published February 1, 2022
No, Biden did not do a Reagan on Supreme Court
President Biden has announced he will choose a Black woman to nominate for retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer's seat. That means he puts skin color first, consideration for the Constitution second. Published February 1, 2022
Government’s growing get-out-of-jail-free card: Qualified immunity
Many of today's public servants, with alarming and increasing frequency, can legally violate the civil rights of citizens any which way they want, and citizens have very little power to protest in court. This is a recipe for constitutional disaster. Published January 29, 2022
America’s ultimate war is God-given vs. government-granted
Americans are born into their rights, which are given -- freely, no less -- by an all-powerful, all-sovereign God. So as America's belief in, regard for and reliance upon God goes, so goes America's political, cultural, educational and economic structures. Published January 26, 2022
Dr. Fauci pitches next vaccine — or does he?
Dr. Anthony Fauci said it's "prudent" to "prepare" a vaccine that specifically targets omicron. Then in the next breath, he said it's not necessarily necessary. And with that, bam -- Fauci brings his trademark flip-floppiness to America's COVID-19 stage. Published January 26, 2022
Virginia’s lawless leftists go fishing for kids to exploit
Democrats, on school face mask watch, like to pretend they have a moral high ground. But all they're really doing is fishing for victims to exploit so they can further their own selfishly ambitious political goals. Published January 25, 2022
Jen Psaki — Janitor Jen — can’t clean up Biden’s messes
President Biden is so low in the polls that even his friends in the media are warning of voter backlash and clean sweeps of Republican wins in the coming elections. But change? Nope. Biden bungles; Janitor Jen Psaki rushes to clean up his messes. Nary a change in direction comes. Nor will it. Published January 25, 2022
Biden’s foreign policy madness is putting America at peril
Truthfully, President Biden's foreign policy positions seem to be -- anybody's guess. And that's why America's enemies are rejoicing at his presidency. Published January 22, 2022
American Airlines throws face mask hissy fit
An American Airlines plane headed to London was more than hour into its flight when its pilot decided to turn around and head back to the departure point, Miami, because a female passenger declined to wear a face mask. What a petty, unnecessary move. Published January 21, 2022
Joe Biden, divider-in-chief: only 16 percent say he’s united America
Joe Biden, at his first presidential press conference in God knows how long, said that his administration has united the country. Good thing he also said he doesn't believe in polls. Only 16% of surveyed Americans think he's united the nation. Published January 20, 2022
Biden: Mask-less, hypocritical, incoherent, odd
President Biden took to the White House podium for a rare press conference, sporting an even rarer look -- a face absent a mask. And then he went on to say he's united the country, did a terrific job in Afghanistan and is not -- not! no matter what people say -- not Sen. Bernie Sanders. Published January 20, 2022
Biden face mask giveaway a tax-paid treat for China
President Biden is planning to give away 400 million N95 face masks to the American people as a means of fighting the spread of the coronavirus and its variants. That's "give" in quotation marks, of course. The federal government does not "give" anything away. Taxpayers do. Published January 19, 2022
Biden radicalism sends Democrat voters fleeing
In 2021, roughly 49 percent of Americans claimed allegiance to the Democratic Party, while about 40 percent leaned Republican. Fast-forward a few months and the picture has quite changed: 47 percent say they're Republican; 42 percent, Democrat. Seismic, meet shift. Published January 18, 2022
Democrats, socialists silent as billionaires reap $5 trillion COVID-19 windfall
The world's wealthiest -- the billionaires' club -- added another $5 trillion to their bottom lines during the coronavirus pandemic, even as the gap between rich and poor grew even wider. Ding, ding, ding -- are you there, Democrats? Where have all the social justice warriors gone? Published January 17, 2022
Supreme Court vaccine rulings fail to recognize God-given rights
The Supreme Court, in a moment of supreme lucidity, slapped down Joe Biden's presidential attempt to use a federal agency to bend private companies' to his executive will, via OSHA. That's great. But the split rulings fail to recognize a core American principle: God-given rights. Published January 15, 2022
America wins when Joe Biden loses
President Joe Biden has had a very bad week. That means America, at least the part of America that still believes in individual liberties and the Constitution, have had a very good week. Published January 14, 2022
Who is Ray Epps? Who is John Galt?
Who is Ray Epps? -- Sen. Ted Cruz asked. Who is John Galt? -- might as well have been the FBI's Jill Sanborn's answer. That's like saying, a la Ayn Rand "Atlas Shrugged"-like, "Who knows?" or "Why ask me -- how would I know?" A simple yes or no should suffice. Published January 13, 2022
Dr. Fauci tips hubris hat with ‘moron’ slam of senator
Dr. Anthony Fauci was captured in a hot mic moment calling Sen. Roger Marshall a "moron" because he didn't like being questioned about his COVID-tied financial disclosures. This says all Americans need to know about Fauci. Arrogant, disrespectful, condescending to the core. Published January 12, 2022
Donald Trump keeps on winning with minorities
If Donald Trump were to face off against Joe Biden today, minorities by a wide margin would choose Trump, according to a survey conducted by the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports. That's astonishing -- right? No. Only to those who get their news from CNN et al. Published January 11, 2022
