Democrats making martyr of Donald Trump

Donald Trump’s erasure doesn’t kill MAGA spirit

YouTube just suspended President Donald Trump from its platform for a period of seven days -- or more. That comes after Twitter banned Trump forever and Facebook booted his account indefinitely.

This photo made available by the U.S. National Archives shows a portion of the United States Constitution with the title of Article V. For the past two centuries, constitutional amendments have originated in Congress, where they need the support of two-thirds of both houses, and then the approval of at least three-quarters of the states. But under a never-used second prong of Article V, amendments can originate in the states. (National Archives via AP) ** FILE **

Parler goes dark in biggest free speech heist of modern day

Big Tech has decided the social media option, Parler -- which grew in recent months due to the blatant censorship of Big Tech, by Big Tech, and denied by the liars at Big Tech -- well, that same Big Tech has decided that Parler grew too big for its own britches.

Great Reset is corporate communism, and it’s coming to America

Joe Biden's just-announced Cabinet picks for Labor and Commerce -- Mayor Marty Walsh and Gov. Gina Raimondo, respectively -- share the common denominator of being tight with the unions.

China goes ‘full rogue,’ sparking fears of next ‘Cuban Missile Crisis’

God or bust — America’s choice is clear

There comes a time when things get so bad that even those without faith, even those who don't normally pray, even those who don't consider themselves believers in a higher power -- when things go so far south that even these secular types turn to God and ask for help.

Democrats set 117th Congress stage for godlessness

Democrat Rep. Emanuel Cleaver opened the 117th Congress in a prayer -- of sorts -- to "the monotheistic god, Brahma, and god known by many names by many different faiths." And then he wrapped with "amen and a-woman." With this prayer, Dems are essentially giving the boot to God from government. Published January 4, 2021

Democrats, RINOs alike dying to get rid of Donald Trump

Democrats, deep staters, RINOs, Black Lives Matter Marxist-types -- all these players and more are just days from breathing sighs of relief at the end of the "America First" administration, the one run by Donald Trump, the one run by the guy who outright, beginning to end, refused to play polite political behind-closed-door games.

Anthony Fauci’s ‘lying’ is hardly surprising

Sen. Marco Rubio just called out Anthony Fauci in a penned piece posted on Fox News as a lying liar who arrogantly used his position as the nation's top infectious disease bureaucrat to lie to the American people "in order to manipulate their behavior."
