Donald Trump train chugs as Joe Biden’s sputters
The polls -- the same polls who predicted Hillary Clinton in the White House -- say President Donald Trump is going to lose. The people -- the packs and packs of people who have been turning out for his rallies in 2016-like masses -- suggest otherwise. Apparently, they've not gotten the message? Published October 28, 2020
Kamala Harris dodges socialism to disguise socialism
Sen. Kamala Harris, in a CBS News interview, burst out laughing when she was asked if she'd spend her White House career as vice president serving as an advocate of the "socialist or progressive perspective" in politics. And this is hugely significant because it underscores how socialism sneaks into America. Published October 27, 2020
Bill Gates, software dude, slams Dr. Scott Atlas as COVID ‘pseudo-expert’
Bill Gates, Harvard dropout, Microsoft founder, just slammed Scott Atlas, degreed biologist, degreed medical doctor, former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center -- that's Medical Center with a capital "M" -- as a, get this, "pseudo-expert" on the coronavirus. Hmm. One of these things is not like the other. Published October 26, 2020
Bernie Sanders as Joe Biden’s labor secretary would devastate America
God forbid, the whispers of Bernie Sanders as Joe Biden's secretary of Labor prove true. There would go America. A socialist in charge of America's workplace policy? Now there's a free market in rapid slide toward disintegration. Published October 24, 2020
Donald Trump’s COVID-19 strength versus Joe Biden’s fear
What America doesn't need right now is a White House leader who tiptoes gently around COVID-19 solutions, falling forever and ever on the side of caution -- which means, in medical speak, forever and ever to stay at home. On this, on COVID-19, Donald Trump brings strength versus Joe Biden, who cowers in fear. Published October 23, 2020
Kamala Harris clangs a communist gong
A vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is a vote for communism. There's no other way to paint it. Social justice? Economic justice? Climate justice? Economic justice? This is the language of communists. This is the rhetoric of communist revolutionaries trying to jumpstart an uprising against corrupt, mismanaged, tyrannical government. Published October 22, 2020
Endless campaigns are bad for America
Once upon a time, America's presidential elections came every four years, with campaign seasons that lasted the few months before the fated November date. Now, they're endless. As soon as Election Day cometh, the next White House race dawneth. The overarching effect is a population kept in a constant state of political anxiety. Published October 22, 2020
Frank Luntz, pollster, moans of Trump’s ‘heads up their a——’ campaign team
Political pollster Frank Luntz said President Donald Trump's reelection campaign advisers have "their heads up their a----" and ought to be "brought up on charges of political malpractice," according to a report in The Hill. Isn't this the same Frank Luntz who apologized profusely in 2018 for underestimating Trump's ability to lead? Published October 21, 2020
Google, prepare to be cowed
In what will surely go down in Big Tech history as an "about time" moment for censor-weary Americans, the U.S. Justice Department filed a suit against Google, accusing the online giant of antitrust violations. Google, prepare to be cowed. At least a little bit. Published October 20, 2020
Christmas with the Joe Biden cranks
President Donald Trump said in a rally over the weekend that if Joe Biden wins the White House, be prepared for a canceled Christmas season. That's the truth. Christmas -- and beyond. Published October 20, 2020
America the great: 14 days, 14 states, optimism abounds
It's easy to become jaded about America. It's easy to sit at home, listen to the news, watch the candidates duke it out, hear as the pundits bicker, moan and groan as the politicians do what politicians do -- politick -- and then think only the darkest of America's future. But go outside the bubble of bickering -- and it's a different world. Published October 19, 2020
Masked teens able to shoot vendor in anonymity
A street vendor in California was shot in the leg by a trio of teens who were able to escape identification and flee under cover of the medical face masks their state mandates they wear. How lucky for the criminals that face coverings are oh-so-demanded these days. Published October 19, 2020
Socialism’s sneaky verbiage
The left will do what it can to tear down normalcy and inject chaos into society, even to the point of redefining commonly accepted words and phrases, because that's a path to Big Government. That's a road toward total government control. That's a sneaky tool of socialists and collectivists and Marxists. Published October 17, 2020
Abortion’s sad, sorrowful defense
Fleetwood Mac singing sensation Stevie Nicks said in a recent conversation with a reporter from The Guardian that if she hadn't aborted the child she conceived with the Eagles' Don Henley, "there would have been no Fleetwood Mac" -- there would have been no music magic. But how does she know that for sure? Published October 16, 2020
Democrat mayor — gasp! — cuts taxes, admits he’s ‘capitalist’
Make way for the pink elephant. For the pig to fly. For the you know where to freeze. For the blue moon to blaze. For the four-leaf clover among the bed of three's. What's the deal? There's a Democrat who just said this: "I might have 'D' after my name, but I [also] have capital 'C' after my name -- capitalist." Published October 15, 2020
Jack Dorsey offers lame ‘clarity’ on blocking Hunter Biden bits
Twitter's Jack Dorsey, responded to the massive swell of outrage that came when his company blocked the New York Post and the White House's Kayleigh McEnany over a Hunter Biden report that put Joe Biden in a bad light with a tweet that acknowledged poor messaging. No d'oh. That's called a lame attempt to sideline criticisms. Published October 15, 2020
CDC needs to keep its COVID-19 nose out of Thanksgiving
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Robert Redfield just issued a quiet warning of possible COVID-19 case hikes during Thanksgiving festivities. Memo to CDC: Enough. Stay out of Thanksgiving. And don't even think of getting involved in Christmas. Published October 14, 2020

Media watchdogging, COVID-19 style: That Republican rubbed his nose!
A recent Mediaite headline ran this way: "Maskless Ron DeSantis High-Fives Attendees at Packed Trump Rally, Rubs His Nose With Hand." Is this really where we're at, America? At a place and time where a Republican who rubs his nose in public makes national news headlines? For, umm, rubbing his nose? Published October 13, 2020

HIS church pastor Brian Gibson said in a sit-down interview in Owensboro, Kentucky, that if Joe Biden wins this November, and not Donald Trump, "it's the death of America" -- that "a Joe Biden win is a win for Marxism," he added. Ain't that the truth. Published October 12, 2020
