Rep. Jim Jordan hammers Anthony Fauci for favoritism in COVID-19 science

Rep. Jim Jordan asked NIAID Director Anthony Fauci a dozen different ways and a dozen different times to explain why angry protesters could safely gather but peaceful church-goers could not -- and a dozen different ways, a dozen different times, the doctor dodged. And that is why the American people do not trust the COVID-19 crackdowns. Published July 31, 2020

McDonald’s can take new call-cops-on-customers policy, and shove it

McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski, in an interview on CBS, said customers who don't wear face masks inside the restaurant risk having police called to arrest them. And then he did that old Marxist propaganda thing and said for safety's sake, "we also ask our customers to wear masks." Screw McDonald's. Published July 31, 2020

Teachers’ unions shamefully exploit COVID-19 to shutter schools

Public schools in the District of Columbia just announced that all students will be doing the stay-at-home virtual study thing when the year begins. D.C. is not alone in this. For shame. These virtual classes have virtually nothing to do with protecting from the coronavirus and everything to do with scoring wins for the teachers' unions. Published July 30, 2020

Anthony Fauci, citing ‘mucosa,’ now wants goggles, face shields

Give Dr. Anthony Fauci an inch and he'll take a mile. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases now wants to stick Americans in goggles and shields, in addition to the face masks. What's next, Mission Oriented Protective Posture Gear -- better known by its chemical weapons warfare acronym, MOPP gear? Why not. Published July 30, 2020

Florida face mask hell a chilling warning for America

Florida's got a problem with face masks -- and it's one that is terrorizing citizens, sending them to jail, stripping them of their most basic civil, human rights. For face masks. For failing or refusing to wear face masks. Has America gone mad? Published July 30, 2020

Twitter, Facebook, YouTube desperate to kill countering coronavirus thought

President Donald Trump shared critical tweets about Anthony Fauci and his truth-telling of the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine to help cure the coronavirus -- and the censors on social media responded by removing his posts. Anyone who thinks freedom of speech still stands strong in this nation -- take note: It does not. Published July 28, 2020

COVID-19 sheep and their absurd ‘no shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service’ bleats

Anyone who's been following the mass face masking movement knows one of the biggest back-talks from those who wear against those who don't goes like this: What's the difference between "no shirt, no shoes, no service" and "no face mask, no service?" Wrong question. And first off, shirts and shoes aren't even laws. Published July 28, 2020

Chief Justice John Roberts is a shameful secular shill

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joined with the liberal wing of the Supreme Court to rule, in essence, that casinos and restaurants have more freedom to operate than churches -- an astonishing unconstitutional and un-American finding, given the roots of this nation as one conceived in the quest for religious freedom.

Health bureaucrats have crippled America

Look around. America the free is America the stifled. And what's perhaps the saddest about this reality is the stifling has come not by law, not by ordinance, not by duly passed legislation by duly elected officials -- but by the whims and wishes of unelected, largely unaccountable medical bureaucrats.

Kentucky pastors fight unconstitutional COVID-19 church closures

Megachurch Pastor Brian Gibson just sent a strong message Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear's way that said, in essence, COVID-19 or no COVID-19, this church is staying open. Finally. Churches of the nation, unite. If the coronavirus has taught America anything, it's this: Government will attack religion. Published July 25, 2020

Blacks more racist than Whites, say Americans to Rasmussen

A new poll from Rasmussen Reports finds that Americans, by a majority, see Blacks as more racist than Whites. Make way for the protests. Make way for the Black Lives Matter, Democrat, leftist-outraged arguments. In short: There goes the whole Democratic Party's platform. Published July 24, 2020

Louie Gohmert raises valid point in call to rename Democratic Party

Rep. Louie Gohmert, Republican from Texas, introduced a resolution that would ban the Democratic Party, among other organizations, based on historical truths about the left's embrace of racism and blatant support of slavery. It's a resolution that yes, is eye-widening -- but at least it strikes the right spirit. He raises some good points. Published July 24, 2020

Hey, lawyers: Where are you?

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser just issued an executive order requiring all citizens and visitors to wear masks when outside, or else face possible fines of up to $1,000. She's just one of many around the nation issuing similar or identical orders and enforcement threats. And all the free citizens go: Where are the lawyers? Published July 23, 2020

Socialists see Joe Biden as ripe for picking, ready to mold

Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro said in an interview with The Hill that Joe Biden, in conjunction with the current hot protest climate, represents the best chance Democrats have seen in a generation to enact significant reform, and in particular, racial justice reforms. So say and see all the socialists. Published July 23, 2020

China is killing America

A handful of conservatives just asked President Donald Trump to keep in place a Roadless Rule that prevents loggers from tapping into Alaska's Tongass National Forest. At first blush, this seems an environmental issue. But it's really a question about China and at what point America puts a stop to communist influences on U.S. soil. Published July 23, 2020

Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Massachusetts Democrat and noted fourth in a socialist "squad" that includes fellow congressional members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, has just called for the outright cancellation of all forms of major debt. In so doing, she may have just secured the rights to the Crown of Insanity. Published July 22, 2020

God save America (only God can save America)

The prevailing rule of thought in America is that the Second Amendment is the civil liberty right that underscores and preserves all the others. There's truth to that. But the Second Amendment won't help with this COVID-19 madness. Published July 21, 2020

America, it’s happening: Government is jailing COVID-19 patients at home

A Kentucky woman who tested positive for COVID-19 was ordered by health bureaucrats to stay at home -- and shackled with an ankle monitor to make she sure does. It's happening, America. Wake up and smell the contact tracing, the "new normal" that allows government to demand citizens "voluntarily" self-quarantine. Or else. Published July 20, 2020

Joe Biden is America’s worst-case puppet

Joe Biden's campaign includes a manager, several press spokespeople, a couple of pollsters -- and a dedicated batch of young engineering interns whose sole mission is to devise clever wooden props that can secretly, behind the scope of the camera's eyes, keep his teetering and tottering to a minimum. That's to say: Biden is a puppet. Published July 18, 2020
