Bold & Blunt: When police harm, not help

Police are good. But sometimes they do bad. And it's incumbent on the American citizenry to hold police accountable when they do bad. Published August 4, 2023

Big Pharma’s outrageous, despicable multibillion-dollar tax dodge

Americans who earn well may have to pay as much as 37% of income in taxes each year. But not so the pharmaceuticals. For 2022, eight Big Pharma companies scooped a combined $110 billion in profits, but they only paid a combined $2 billion in U.S. taxes. That's about 2%. They exploit the free market.

Republican presidential candidate, former President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally, Saturday, July 29, 2023, in Erie, Pa. Trump, accused in a conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election, has been told not to discuss the case with any witnesses outside the presence of lawyers. But statements about that effort form the backbone of his reelection campaign. (AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki, File)

Democrats and their futile targeting of Trump and patriotic America

Jack Smith is a man who enjoys pointing fingers and thunderously proclaiming wrongs and self-righteously swooping to attack. He doesn't prosecute so much as persecute. That makes him the man of the hour for Democrats. But Americans have awakened to the awareness Dems serve dark lords. Published August 4, 2023

President Joe Biden arrives on Air Force One at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, on July 28, 2023. The indictment of Donald Trump for attempting to overturn his election defeat is a new front in what Joe Biden has described as the battle for American democracy. It's the issue that Biden has described as the most consequential struggle of his presidency. The criminal charges are a reminder of the stakes of next year's campaign, when Trump is hoping for a rematch with Biden. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File)

Biden, Democrats have a hate affair with the First Amendment

White House officials during the coronavirus years pressed Facebook-slash-Meta censors to strip away memes that poked fun of COVID-19 shots, according to the platform's internal documents. This White House hates the First Amendment. Published August 3, 2023

Contestants compete for the Miss Trans Northeast 22 beauty pageant in Guwahati, India, Nov. 30, 2022. When India's Supreme Court handed down its landmark 2014 ruling recognizing transgender Indians as a third gender separate from males and females, the judges were in a sense affirming ideas about gender that had circulated in India for thousands of years. But public attitudes toward transgender people have been slow to change, still hewing to European ideas about sexuality introduced by 19th-century British colonial rulers.

Bold & Blunt: Society’s dangerous downgrade of men

Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, retired, said America's facing a problem of masculinity -- that is to say, a failure to raise and respect godly men -- and that all of society is suffering from this mass wussification of the male. Too true. Published August 2, 2023

COVID ‘surge,’ COVID ‘uptick’ and leprosy — and so it begins

Headlines are ablaze with alerts about a summertime COVID-19 "uptick," and worse, a summertime COVID-19 "surge," and as the medical experts everywhere are advising: Keep a face mask handy; stay on the COVID-19 shot schedule; listen up for lockdowns. Hmm. An important election must be coming. Published August 2, 2023

U.N. and its ‘global boiling’ nonsense

Climate change isn't just "here," according to U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. It's "terrifying." It's "just the beginning." And it's moved from "global warming" to "global boiling," with air that is "unbreathable" and heat that is "unbearable," he said. Right-o. That used to be called summer. Published July 31, 2023

Bold & Blunt: Selling the dream of America, not the doom

If someone asks you what's so great about America, what would you say? Here's an answer: that in this country, individual rights come from God and government is in the role of servant to protect those inherent liberties. Published July 28, 2023

Phoenix, Arizona, opening ‘queer blended’ LGBTQ middle school

Middle schoolers in Arizona have a new school choice this fall -- regular public or the "Queer Blended Learning Center," a specially designed facility for LGBTQ students. Leftists call it "life-saving for queer children," Pink News wrote. Actually, it's a big ol' box of lunacy wrapped with a fluffy bow of evil. Published July 27, 2023

A sign reads "Welcome to CHOP," Sunday, June 14, 2020, inside what has been named the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest zone in Seattle. Protesters calling for police reform and other demands have taken over several blocks near downtown Seattle after officers withdrew from a police station in the area following violent confrontations. The CHOP name is a change from CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone) that was used earlier in the week. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren)

Democrats do love a good Molotov cocktail

A new study found the number of Democrats who were willing to use force as a tool of political persuasion grew between January and June from 9% to 17%. Not surprising. Democrats do love their violence. Word is, they're petitioning to make Molotov cocktail throwing an Olympic sport. Published July 27, 2023

Bold & Blunt: China or the deep state — which is the bigger danger?

At least China's designs to topple America are open. Much of the deep state is behind scenes; many of the deep state players work hand-in-hand with bureaucrats in global governments -- and China! -- and with self-serving politicians of both Democrat and Republican parties to crumble the country.

Whole Foods enters mark-of-the-beast territory with palm payment readers

Whole Foods Market is rolling out a new palm payment reader devised by Amazon One, the contactless identification creation of Amazon, with expectations that all 500-plus grocery stores will offer the system before the end of this year. And so Americans move a step closer toward taking the mark of the beast. Published July 25, 2023

Americans’ belief in hell falls to new lows

Seventy-four percent of Americans believe in God; 69% and 67% in angels and heaven, respectively -- but only 59% in hell and 58% in the devil, according to new polling from Gallup. Surprise! That's going to be the reaction of quite a few Americans one fine day. But the findings explain quite a bit about this nation's drift. Published July 24, 2023

Bold & Blunt: Christians must judge

One of the most common retorts that Christians who call out evil hear is, 'Hey, you can't judge me -- the Bible says thou shalt not judge.' But how can a Christian live a godly life without judging? Published July 20, 2023

Loneliness in America can be deadly. In May 2023, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy declared it an American epidemic, saying that it takes as deadly a toll as smoking upon the population of the United States. “Millions of people in America are struggling in the shadows," he said, “and that’s not right.” (AP Photo/John Locher) **FILE**

Bold & Blunt: Why go to church? One answer: To live longer

As more and more turn to the religion of "none," fewer and fewer believe in God, and greater and greater numbers of youth embrace socialism -- the faithless fruit of the Democrat Party -- church attendance in America is dropping. And that's having a devastating effect on Americans' health. Published July 18, 2023

Face masks bans — finally

In-N-Out, a fast-food burger franchise, sent around a notice to employees -- which was then posted by a critic of the company policy on Twitter -- that said the wearing of face masks was prohibited at work, save for those who could show a doctor's note advocating otherwise. Finally. A return to common sense. Published July 18, 2023
