Republicans lose sight of war when waging petty, inner-party battles

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Texas Republican, just called out GOP members of the House Freedom Caucus, a group that includes Reps. Louie Gohmert, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene, as "grifters" and "performance artists." Can you say, thanks, Dan? Democrats are. Published December 9, 2021

Gretchen Whitmer — Gretchen Whitmer!! — questions vaccine mandates

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the Michiganian who became the face of American tyranny when she cracked down on seed purchases and gardening supplies during the blooming stages of the coronavirus, is hesitant to adopt vaccine mandates. Look to the skies. Pigs must be flying. Published December 8, 2021

In this Aug. 9, 2018, file photo, Safe Night Access Project in Seattle volunteers show some of the products they give away to sex workers and other people who ask for as part of providing harm reduction services along a north Seattle strip known for prostitution. Recent crackdowns targeting the sex-for-hire industry have reduced the number of commercial ads on the internet and helped fight online trafficking. But activists and police say the efforts may have had unintended consequences — landing women and girls back on the streets, where dangers also lurk. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson) ** FILE **

America’s lost generation of girls

Teachers who applaud the sex trade? High school girls who dream of selling their sexualized bodies? America is rapidly becoming a Rome. If we want a nation that fosters the best of humanity, not the worst -- we must stop teaching our girls to behave like prostitutes. Published December 7, 2021

Big Pharma, WHO, globalists tee up next virus fear

Sarah Gilbert, one of the creators of the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccines, said the next virus "could be worse. It could be more contagious, or more lethal, or both," Reuters reported.

America can’t survive another three years of Joe Biden

The next presidential election isn't until 2024. The next president won't take the inaugural oath until 2025. That's a long time for the current White House to run its unconstitutional course. America, under Joe Biden, won't survive the next three years. Published December 4, 2021

Dr. Fauci and his galactic, galaxy-size ego

Dr. Anthony Fauci said Republicans are "lying" when they attack him and that he's "saving lives" with his medical advice to stay home, stay away from others and take shot after shot after shot. Messianic complex, meet victim complex. This guy's ego is as big as the Milky Way. Published November 30, 2021

Whiny Trump-haters are political revisionists

It takes a powerful historical revisionist to suggest Donald Trump's fans are ignorant and Trump himself was an anomaly. The fact is Trump's rise in ranks came because of the failure of these very high-brow types to see how their own political elitism was killing conservatism. Published November 29, 2021

China only grows bolder under Biden

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon just shot off a quip about China that wasn't exactly fawning -- and shortly after, he apologized. More to truth, he was pressured to apologize. This is just part and parcel of a growing trend, made worse under Joe Biden, for America to bend to China. Published November 27, 2021

Vaccinated? None of your freaking business

Once upon a time, the personal and private health records and choices of free American citizens were just that -- personal and private. Now? Not so much. And that's a danger to civil liberties. So quit asking about vaccination status. Quit answering about vaccination status. Published November 26, 2021

Thanksgiving vs. Franksgiving: Choose wisely, America

One president marked Thanksgiving with God. The other, with secularism. And on that theme, this is the cultural tension that divides the nation to this day. Choose wisely, America, which path to pursue: Our nation's freedoms depend on the correct selection. Published November 25, 2021

Retail ‘smash-and-grab’ looters are the Democrats’ own making

The CNN headline promised answers: "Why some US cities are facing a spree of 'smash-and-grab' crimes." But it was largely a false flag. Once again, those on the left -- as CNN people lean -- have failed to fully acknowledge the problem lies with themselves. Published November 24, 2021

Democrats, leftists pick pedophile over Second Amendment

Kyle Rittenhouse was cleared of all charges, but leftists won't accept the jurors' finding and instead are out and about, fanning the flames of outrage, protesting in the streets, protesting online, protesting on the airwaves. Once again, they're putting their ignorance on full display. Published November 23, 2021

White House pushes lawless vaccine mandates

Law? Schmaw. Legal? Schmegal. Jen Psaki's recent comments that American businesses should move forward with a federal mask mandate despite a court putting them on hold should shred any lingering notions that this administration aspires to respect the rule of law. Published November 20, 2021

Democrats and their disingenuous sell of inflation as good

The typical Thanksgiving dinner may cost 14% more this year than last. And don't even get started on the price hikes to gas, from $2.12 per gallon of regular a year ago to $3.41, on average. But Democrats' say not to worry. It's all good. It's all a sign of a positive economy. Published November 19, 2021

Biden so weak even Mexico now threatening America

President Biden's inability to show himself as a strong leader on either national or international stages practically wipes out all of the material, military or monetary plusses that America holds. He's weak, weak, weak, and the whole world knows it -- even Mexico. Published November 18, 2021

Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows go to Washington

Democrats fizzle, but they are too arrogant to change

Republicans, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll, hold the largest lead in midterm election favor in 40 years. And Democrats' collective response is, eh, meh, it's not like it's 50 years. Published November 15, 2021
