Massachusetts — China: What’s the big difference?
COVID-19 isn't so devastating that it gives U.S. governing authorities the right to behave like Chinese communists. Not even a little. Published September 1, 2020
Crazy bogus thing called coronavirus death counts
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just said: "For 6% of the deaths" due to the coronavirus, "COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned" by authorities. There's an "are you kidding me!" screaming moment for ya. Published August 31, 2020
America’s sports are ruined by politics
Politics has already ruined sports. Thank you, Colin Kaepernick, for the pig socks and the bended knee. But that was the kickoff, some years back. It's been joy-destroying, fun-killing, nearly non-stop field politicking since. Published August 29, 2020
Joe Biden laughably blames Donald Trump for Democrat-fueled violence
In a tweet, Joe Biden, former vice president, 2020 White House hopeful, keeper of the basement key, and other such illustrious titles, yada yada and so on and so forth, wrote this: "Remember: every example of violence Donald Trump decries has happened on his watch. Under his leadership. During his presidency." Nice try, Joe. Published August 28, 2020
U.S. heroes save 15 kids from evil sex traffickers
U.S. Marshals -- U.S. heroes, really -- swooped into Georgia, partnered with local and state law enforcement, and found and rescued 39 missing children, 15 of whom were identified as victims of sex trafficking. Thank God for America's law enforcement. Suddenly, "defund the police" doesn't seem so smart, does it? Published August 28, 2020
Democrats should free Blacks from the chains of ‘Uncle Tom’
Gosh, it's stifling to be a Democrat. It's stifling just to listen to Democrats. But this "Uncle Tom" stuff has to stop. Demanding blacks be all one way and none another is the political equivalent of enslavement. It's an enslavement of minds, of ideas, of free-thinking curiosity and education and independent analysis.

CDC walks back COVID-19 testing, warns not to argue with anti-maskers
The CDC reversed course on its recommendation for anyone and everyone who comes into contact with a coronavirus-positive individual to get tested, and instead, not. That makes sense. After all, Americans don't run to the doctor's to get tested for influenza every time they cross paths with a person who's got the flu. Right? Published August 26, 2020
The Lincoln Project women are silly and stupid
A handful of women proclaiming to be Republicans have united in anti-Donald Trump messaging to join forces under the umbrella of The Lincoln Project and oust this president from the White House. Ignore this faction. They're silly and stupid and are busily, stupidly, trying to sell a silly lie about their so-called Republican beliefs. Published August 25, 2020
‘JESUS 2020’ signs dot the campaign landscape
There are go-Donald Trump signs supporting the president's reelection; there are vote-Joe Biden signs calling for a change in White House leadership. But a new wave of signage is dotting America's landscape, bringing a message that goes like this: "JESUS 2020." Thank God. It's just what America needs. Published August 24, 2020
Virginia on COVID-19 steroids: Take zee shot, comrade — or else
Virginia's health commissioner, Dr. Norman Oliver, said he will make every man, woman and child in the state take the COVID-19 vaccine once it's developed, once it's proven safe, and so long as he is still in office, holding the job of -- apparently -- Resident Body Snatcher. Literally. Who died and made this dude king? Published August 24, 2020
Contact tracing app at Michigan college is a surveillance-state nightmare
A creepy contact tracing app at a Michigan college that was forced on all students identifies the app user by name and location; generates a specific code that labels the app user as "certified" or "denied," based on required coronavirus test results; and sends an alert to administrators when students violate COVID-19 protocols. Published August 22, 2020
Joe Biden talks of ‘soul’ saving as Democrats remove ‘God’
Joe Biden said in his farewell, oops, he meant to say, acceptance speech, that he's going to restore the "soul of America" if voters elect him this November to the Senate -- oops, he meant to say, White House. Mental acuity aside, the question is: How's he going to restore a "soul" when his fellow Democrats are busily removing God? Published August 21, 2020
Netflix: Pandering to pedophiles everywhere
Netflix, in a new series called "Cuties," is blatantly sexualizing little girls. And tens of thousands have already signed a petition demanding the show's removal from public streaming. But how could such a horrifying show make it past the pitch room in the first place? Published August 20, 2020
Massachusetts mandates flu shots for all students: Next up, COVID-19?
The Department of Public Health in Massachusetts just ordered all students older than 6 months, and up through college, to get the flu vaccination as a condition of attending school. You knew this was coming. What's more, you suspected this was coming for COVID-19, too -- once the vaccine is available, that is. Right? Published August 20, 2020
Anderson Cooper ought to blast Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, like he did Mike Lindell
CNN host Anderson Cooper, in one of those snarky "I'm from CNN so I'm smarter than everyone" TV moments, blasted guest MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell as a "snake oil salesman" for pushing the benefits of a coronavirus therapy that could financially benefit him. But where's the similar treatment for Anthony Fauci? For Bill Gates? Published August 19, 2020
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sells Catholics on abortion as ‘reproductive justice’
In the lead-up to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's speech at the Democratic National Convention came this piece, from the National Catholic Reporter: "AOC embraces reproductive justice, and other Catholics should, too." It's an illuminating piece that shows how the left can repackage evil and sell it as a product of love. Published August 18, 2020
Democrats set convention course to Marxism
Democrats have announced plans to give Black Lives Matter a special place of elevated honor at the 2020 convention, to discuss the party's specially elevated themes: racial injustice and racial inequality. In so doing, they've cemented their image as the party of radicals -- party of lost souls, party of Marxists and Marxist-minded. Published August 18, 2020
Valerie Jarrett drops tired old gender card to rescue Kamala Harris
How come every time a Democrat runs a woman for a political race, the gender card has to be thrown? It's such a tired line of politicking. It's cheap. It's boring and unimaginative. It's aimed simply at stopping all dissenting debates. Yet it continues to be the Democrats' go-to. Published August 17, 2020
Democrat call for ‘unrest in the streets’ is sedition, pure and simple
Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, in an interview on "Morning Joy," called for the protesters in the streets of America to keep right on protesting in the streets. In other words: A seated member of Congress called on the violent thugs to keep up their violent thuggery. Published August 17, 2020
Kamala Harris stands far left of true American principles
Sen. Kamala Harris favors higher taxes on businesses, higher taxes on higher-income earners and social justice -- that last, a catchall phrase that gives her carte blanche to press progressive policy into every hot button issue of the day, from the environment to coronavirus stimulus disbursements to housing education.
