Socialism in America didn’t spring up overnight
Leftists in Congress like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn't spring up overnight. They're the product of the unfortunate, embarrassing and disturbing result of an America long adrift, particularly in its public schools. Published November 14, 2020
Democrats, you created AOC — now deal with her
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doesn't belong in American politics because she's an open socialist, and no socialist belongs in American politics because they can't truthfully take the oath of office to uphold and protect the Constitution. They just can't; that's a fact. Socialism is not compatible with the U.S. Constitution. Published November 12, 2020
Christians, it’s beginning to look a lot like the end
Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries, is calling on Christians to get bolder, louder and more involved in policy and politics, or else face the consequences of a rapidly secularizing America -- meaning the demise and degradation and loss of freedom and individual rights. This, in a nutshell, is the key to keeping America free. Published November 12, 2020
Donald Trump called ‘demonic force’ — seriously?
A columnist with The Week, Damon Linker, just wrote a piece with this title: "Trump is a demonic force in American politics." President Donald Trump is demonic? Seriously? Trump is biblical all right, but not in the way the left sees it. Rather, an Isaiah 5:20 way -- in a "woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil" way. Published November 11, 2020
Socialism just a couple Senate seats away
Sen. Chuck Schumer told a crowd of New Yorkers who were celebrating the idea of a Joe Biden White House that, "Now we take Georgia; then we change the world." Take heed. That's a dark warning. Published November 10, 2020
Joe Biden to force all Americans into face masks
A White House under Joe Biden will call for all Americans to wear face masks, and will pressure governors and mayors and local leaders to enforce his will. Let the regulatory clampdowns begin. Don't say America wasn't warned about the "I am zee law" to come with a Biden administration. This is just the start. Published November 9, 2020
Division, not unity, will mark America 2021 and beyond
No matter which party controls politics in January, the year 2021 will be marked by national disunity and discord. It's because of that whole "Democrats hate America" thing. Published November 7, 2020
Coronavirus clampdowns begin anew
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker has ordered residents to wear masks in public, even when social distancing is possible, and to stay at home between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. -- including certain business owners who normally operate during those hours. The clampdowns are only going to grow worse in the coming months. Published November 6, 2020
Arizona dispute heats, as data guru Nate Silver calls for Fox, AP retraction
Nate Silver, founder of FiveThirtyEight, and a once-upon-a-time darling of the left, said Arizona never should have been called so early for Democrat Joe Biden, and that Fox News and The Associated Press ought to retract their decisions. Yes. While we're at it, how about moving Pennsylvania into the win column for President Donald Trump? Published November 5, 2020
Media need post-election shakeup
If this election shows anything, it's these two things: Pollsters should be fired. By the dozens. And media executives should take the plunge and shake up their staff. By the dozens. Add some conservatives. Add some Christians. Add some people who can tell when the pollsters are spot on or off the mark. Published November 5, 2020
‘Count every ballot’ should include Trump-loving military voters
The Democrats, led by Joe Biden, have been making a campaign case that it's crucial to "count every vote," to keep on counting until "every ballot is counted," until "every vote is counted" -- even if those counts take us into Thursday, Friday, the weekend, and beyond. So: Does that include military ballots, too? Published November 4, 2020
Pollsters, once again, are utterly, completely wrong
CNN's notables, in early morning discussion of election results, nodded and smiled when the subject of polling came up, and pundit S.E. Cupp said this: "I want to caution against calling the death of polling just yet." Wrong. It is the death of polling. It's time for the burial. Published November 4, 2020
Twitter is losing users, just as censorship fatigue hits hard
Twitter tried to subvert the Constitution by using the free market to turn the censoring of conservative thought into a defensible position. And now Americans are using their free-market choices to say goodbye to Twitter. That's called tit for tat. That's called just due. That's called paying the piper. Published November 3, 2020
Joe Biden, fearing evangelicals for Trump, tweets his own Catholic faith
And just like that -- the Democrats have brought out the Bible again. Joe Biden, in a campaign tweet, wrote: "My faith has been my anchor through highs and lows -- a guiding light that taught me the values of honesty, decency, and treating others with respect. As president, it will continue to serve as a source of strength." Published November 2, 2020
Anthony Fauci should’ve been fired long ago
President Donald Trump suggested to a Florida rally crowd he might fire Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, once Election Day has passed. This is called an About Time moment. Fauci should've been fired long ago. Published November 2, 2020
Police, stripped of protection, should do an ‘Atlas Shrugged’ and leave
The police in Washington, D.C., have just been stripped of much of their protective gear -- specifically, their riot gear. Why? Because a man named Karon Hylton, 20, who was driving a moped without a helmet, at times on a sidewalk, was followed by a police cruiser and, while fleeing, crashed into another car and died. Ridiculous. Published October 31, 2020
Socialism in new survey again gains favor in America — and here’s why
A new YouGov survey of 2,100 U.S. citizens ages 16 and older finds that the term "socialism" is being regarded with rising favor among America's more youthful population, the Generation Z-ers and millennials, collectively between the ages of 16 and 39. This is horrible. And patriotic Americans, Christians in particular, must fight. Published October 30, 2020
Virginia set to tear down Confederate flag, Robert E. Lee — history
A large Confederate flag that's flown the Interstate 95 skies in Stafford County, Virginia -- and that's been the subject of much heated debate, particularly in recent politically correct times -- will finally be pulled from its post. Chalk this as another historical symbol on the way out, deemed too offensive for public display. Published October 29, 2020
Republican AGs plot path to save America from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris
Republican attorneys general around the nation have been busily gathering and strategizing how to best offset a worst-case scenario this coming Election Day -- a win for Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Just in case -- it's a phrase that saves. And in this case, it's a phrase that marks a preparation to save the nation from socialism. Published October 29, 2020
Americans shouldn’t have to suffer another COVID-19 lockdown
On the coronavirus, President Donald Trump strikes the right tone. His Democratic rival Joe Biden, on the other hand -- well, off the mark is putting is kindly. Off the rails is more like it. Americans, at this point in time, are fearing lockdowns, shutdowns and total economic clampdowns much more than they're fearing the virus. Published October 29, 2020
