Democrats aghast at outing as communists
In Case You Missed It: The latest Democratic debate involved a bit of back-and-forth between Mike Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders about the perils of politicking in America on a communist platform -- and all the Democrats go, what's wrong with that? This is where the Democratic Party has gone: defending communism in America. Published February 20, 2020
Pete Buttigieg hardly a qualified keeper of the Christian key
Pete Buttigieg, in a CNN town hall, suggested Christians who support President Donald Trump aren't acting in accordance with the Christian faith. And then he kissed his gay "husband" and skipped off the set, exit, stage right. Not really. But you get the picture. Published February 20, 2020
William Barr target of ‘deep state,’ says Jason Chaffetz
The DOJ system is rigged: "Wrongdoing by every federal employee can be investigated by an Inspector General, except federal attorneys at the Justice Department," Rep. Jody Hice said. "There is no legitimate reason for federal prosecutors to be shielded from the IG." Published February 19, 2020
Michael Bloomberg does a George Soros and buys up law enforcement
Michael Bloomberg, according to various media reports, has been funding state attorney general offices and paying the salaries of key, politically liberal-leaning attorneys general -- a practice that gives all appearances of buying law enforcement on the local and state levels. And guess what: This is what George Soros does, too. Published February 18, 2020
Barack Obama is jealous of Donald Trump’s economy
Barack Obama, ex-prez, took to Twitter to try and claim that today's great economy is due to his 11-year-old policy -- suggesting, laughably, his White House is owed a big ol' thank you from President Donald Trump, from the business world, from America. Sorry, Mr. Obama, but to coin one of your own phrases: You didn't build that. Published February 18, 2020
Mike Bloomberg slips in left’s big pool of self-importance
Much ado has been made over Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg's condescending comments about farmers -- you know, the ones where he said in 2016 that he "could teach anybody" to "dig a hole," drop in a seed, cover with dirt, "add water" and voila, "up comes the corn." But really, this is how all Democrats think of conservatives. Published February 18, 2020
Joe Biden knows: South Carolina or bust
Joe Biden isn't exactly putting out the Closed, Gone Fishing sign on his political campaign. But even he's acknowledging, subtly and in not so many words, but entertaining the thought just the same, that his trail to the White House has been less than smooth and that South Carolina may prove the end of the line.

William Barr’s tight spot and the red herring tweet
More than 1,100 ex-Department of Justice officials have signed a petition demanding Attorney General William Barr resign over his handling of the Roger Stone case. This isn't due to a presidential tweet. This was all part and parcel of the Democrats' next political plan. Published February 17, 2020
Sheriff: 16,000 ‘violent criminal aliens’ arrested in first 9 months of 2019
Democrats never do stand on the side of law and order, justice and righteousness, do they? In their minds, if law enforcement suffers physical harm because they're busily apprehending criminals -- well then, it's their own fault for doing the apprehensions. Published February 13, 2020
Democrats’ radicalism shielded by Bernie Sanders’ socialism
Democrats on the campaign trail are about as radical as they come -- about as socialist as they come; make no mistake about it. They get cover for their radicalism from Sen. Bernie Sanders, the open socialist. Published February 11, 2020
Democrats tee up their next impeachment cause
President Donald Trump, as presidents are wont to do, fired a White House staffer in whom he lost confidence -- namely, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. And now the left has its next impeachment cause: witness retaliation. Published February 11, 2020
Karl Marx quoted at Oscars — and it’s not even surprising
We always knew those on the left, particularly the scholarly, intellectual, high-brow elitist of the left, were in love with Karl Marx. And Vladimir Lenin. And Benito Mussolini. And Joseph Stalin. And Che Guevara. And the like. They're just becoming more open about it Published February 10, 2020
‘Christian socialism’ is tyranny
Christian socialism? Make way for the lie. Christianity and socialism cannot coexist and bring freedom to the individual. Moreover, it's not even based on Bible truths. Published February 8, 2020
National Prayer Breakfast reveals a great evil of the left
President Donald Trump created quite a media stir when he stood at the National Prayer Breakfast podium and, in response to keynote speaker Arthur Brooks' call to love thy enemies and leave behind thy contempt, said he saw things a bit differently -- that it was rather difficult to swallow the bitter bites of fabricated impeachment pushes with a simple shrug and "oh well" hug. Well, Trump is right. Love does not mean tolerance of evil. Published February 7, 2020
Democrats at SOTU blew opportunity to unite, heal
Democrats, at the State of the Union, had the perfect opportunity to show their above-the-fray sides and prove that when it comes to politicking, their primary interests are country and Constitution, first; individual citizen second; self, third -- if at all. But they blew it. They showed themselves once again as unworthy of their titles. Published February 6, 2020
Mike Pence on Nancy Pelosi at SOTU: “Wasn’t sure if she was ripping up speech’ or ‘Constitution’
Vice President Mike Pence, on "Fox & Friends," had harsh words for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's speech-ripping State of the Union moment that went like this: It was disrespectful. It was a new low. It was a moment that will probably go down as the time she killed any chance for a Democrat to sit in the leadership seat for years to come. Published February 5, 2020
Nancy Pelosi, in ripping SOTU speech, disdains all America, not just Donald Trump
Make no mistake about it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's dramatic State of the Union speech-ripping performance wasn't aimed just at the president. It was a show of disdain for all the president's supporters -- for all of patriotic America. For all the deplorables out there she hasn't been able to control and conquer. Published February 5, 2020
‘Cuba sucks’: Reflections on socialism, behind the curtain
A team of Turning Point USA producers took a trip to Cuba to peer behind the glitzy social media photos that show a nation of happy, happy, joy, joy citizens -- and came home to America with a stiff, stern warning for Bernie Sanders' fans and socialist wannabes that went, bluntly, like this: Don't bring the bleak to America.

Bernie Sanders, the socialist POTUS? Better believe it
A couple of decades ago, the idea of a Bernie Sanders socialist as president of the United States was unthinkable. Now, here he stands, chugging up the poll numbers, climbing up the primary ranks, scooping up the millennial love. What's changed? Much, but mostly, morals and faith. Published February 4, 2020
