Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia GOPer, sets ‘that bitch’ Nancy Pelosi on notice
Marjorie Taylor Greene, in her victory speech for the Republican primary race she ran against neurosurgeon John Cowan for Georgia's 14th District, stepped outside political norms to call out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a "bitch" who would soon be booted. Or maybe she didn't. Maybe this rhetoric has become political norms. Published August 14, 2020
Maryland takes 40,000 free face masks from China
Annapolis, Maryland, city officials accepted 40,000 face masks from China -- a gift from "sister city" Changsha that came this week in boxes decorated with U.S. and Chinese flags alongside cheery messages like, "Go, City of Annapolis!" and "True unity inspires people to work as one." Anybody else see anything wrong with this picture? Published August 13, 2020
Pope Francis uses COVID-19 pandemic to call for end to ‘individualism’
Pope Francis, in the context of speaking about the coronavirus pandemic, called on the faithful of the world to rise up, unite and put a stop to all this "personal and collective individualism" that's going on. Just stop it, he said. Just stop this "individualism" nonsense right now. Well, we all knew this guy was a closet communist, right? Published August 13, 2020
Connecticut’s crazy excessive coronavirus fines
Connecticut's ruling political elites have just issued fines in the total of $3,000 to a couple of citizens who didn't comply with all the state's coronavirus-related travel guidelines. Guidelines? Let's be serious. These are dictates -- and constitutional or not, by gosh, they're being enforced. Published August 12, 2020
Kamala Harris jumps to VP attention, choking on hypocrisy
Sen. Kamala Harris is Joe Biden's pick for vice president. But Sen. Kamala Harris thinks Joe Biden is a woman-groper. So much for women's rights? "I believe them," Harris said in April of 2019, of the women who came forward to accuse Biden of inappropriate touching. Published August 12, 2020
Democrats need disastrous economy to keep Joe Biden afloat
If America's economy is on the upswing, the Democrats don't stand a chance in you-know-where of taking the White House this November. That's a fact, Jack. Published August 11, 2020
Joe Biden hasn’t the stamina for four years
The reason Joe Biden's pick for vice president is being watched so closely is that most voters think he won't make it through a full four-year White House term and that it's his second-in-charge who will ultimately lead the country. That's not anecdotal, water-cooler gossip. That's polled fact. So says Rasmussen in its latest survey. Published August 10, 2020
Bill Gates whines Team Trump won’t listen to him
Bill Gates is the smartest guy in the room, nay, on the planet, and he wants everybody to know it. How else to explain his feigned incredulity on CNN of America's coronavirus test process to that of other nations? Let's remember: Gates is a computer guy. He's not actually a medical expert.

Coronavirus test positives a big whoop over nothing
Every day, every hour, every news source in America blasts out the latest coronavirus test case positives. But -- and this is a serious question -- so what? If this were a virus by a different name, if this were a different political climate, test positives wouldn't raise national eyebrows. Published August 8, 2020
California county touts socialist cash giveaway to get COVID-19ers to stay home
A county in California, Alameda, to be exact, is planning to hand out checks in the amount of $1,250 for lower-income residents who test positive for COVID-19 as an incentive to get them to stay home. Hmm. Let's see. What could possibly go wrong there? It's welfare dressed as coronavirus relief. Published August 7, 2020
John Roberts ‘anti-Trump,’ says SCOTUS insider
Carrie Severino, a former Supreme Court clerk who now heads up the Judicial Crisis Network and who helped pen a bestselling book on the takedown of Brett Kavanaugh, said on "Fox & Friends" that Vice President Mike Pence is right to criticize the chief justice because, by all appearances, John Roberts seems decidedly "anti-Trump."

America’s closed schools will widen haves, have-nots gap
What of the vulnerable children of the country who don't have instant Wi-Fi access, who don't have computers at their fingertips, who don't have family lives that correspond well with at-home and virtual learning? Published August 6, 2020
Virginia leaps into contact tracing technology
Virginia has become the first state in the nation to offer for download a contact tracing Apple and Google API app aimed at stopping and slowing the spread of the coronavirus. And so it begins: One of modern government's cleverest means of tracking and surveilling its people, and all for the good health of the people, to boot. Published August 6, 2020
CDC floats next health scare, post-coronavirus
Just in time for the new school year, virtual as it may be, comes a new warning of a new fright for parents to deal with, and more likely than not, wait for it, wait for it, for government to cite as justification to keep schools closed, and maybe even churches and more -- and it's one that goes like this: Acute flaccid myelitis.

Susan Rice, VP contender, wants to ‘re-imagine’ away the police
Susan Rice, former national security adviser and potential Joe Biden vice president pick, said police need a massive "re-imaging" -- meaning, a total rework. Meaning, a total reshaping. Meaning, a total collapse. "Re-imagining" is code for watering law enforcement to the point where they're no longer law enforcement. Published August 5, 2020
Democrats use fear to control and dominate
A new poll from Gallup shows that 85% of American parents who identify as Democrats worry their children will contract COVID-19, but only 29% of those who say they're Republican express similar concerns. That's about right. Democrats, by nature, are fear-filled scaremongers. Published August 4, 2020
Americans’ crazy fight for the basic right to work
The Declaration of Independence promises citizens life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and that's pretty much what many in America are doing each day as they head to work -- exercising their rights to provide for self and family, for both needs and wants, absent government intervention. Then came the coronavirus pandemic. Published August 4, 2020
Donald Trump defies naysayers and beats Barack Obama poll numbers
The poll numbers are in and contrary to what the left will tell, President Donald Trump is finding high favor with the majority of U.S. voters. By the numbers: 51% of likely U.S. voters say they approve of Trump's job performance. That's according to Rasmussen. Published August 3, 2020
Democrats use COVID-19 unemployment to buy votes
Democrats want the next round of coronavirus stimulus dollars to extend the $600 unemployment insurance enhancement for those who lost their jobs or who faced mandated furloughs because of economic shutdowns. Republicans say no. But Democrats want that money to buy votes for their subpar candidate, Joe Biden, this fall. Published August 3, 2020
America can’t be moral without God
This country is in a free-fall of cultural rot and moral decay. And how the culture goes, so, too, the politics. Which is why Pew Research Center's latest "Global God Divide" finding that only 44% of Americans think they need the heavenly Creator to shape their morals and values is so illuminating.
