Barack Obama, during remarks delivered before the 2024 Democracy Forum in Chicago, called out the polarized political atmosphere exploited by money-grubbers in the media and said what America really needs to restore "democracy" is a "renewed commitment to pluralist principles."

Democrats go full-blown messianic complex on pardons

Bold & Blunt: Hunter skates, J6-ers rot

President Joe Biden has given his son, Hunter, the pardon of all pardons, basically excusing him from consequences for his felony convictions and crimes, but also excusing him from any crimes he may or may not have done between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024. But what about the J6 protesters? Published December 4, 2024

Sen. Mitch McConnell has blasted a couple of federal judges who had announced plans to step from their leadership roles, but have since reversed course and decided to stay -- all coincidentally after the election results poured in, giving Donald Trump the victory.

Joe Biden lied and whoosh, Hunter’s sins are disappeared

Joe Biden said he would never use his position of presidential power to pardon his son and save him from his felony jail sentences. But in a late-night Sunday move -- the day of the Lord -- he did. Talk about a mocking of justice. Published December 2, 2024

Democrats simply cannot be trusted

Democrats are currently going through a period of self-reflection, trying to piece together the reasons why they came up so short with voters this time around, even telling The Hill, "We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable."

Transgender madness is an evil that must be stopped

Republican Gov. Mike DeWine signed a bill into law that bars boys pretending to be girls from using bathrooms and changing rooms in public schools and universities in Ohio, and instead forces them to use the facilities that correspond with their birth sex.

Bold & Blunt: Missiles and mines and more war, oh my

Bold & Blunt: Christians, no time to sleep!
