Americans under Biden need more beer, not less

It's laughable, truly, but the Biden administration's guy in charge of alcohol consumption guidelines -- is that really a thing?? -- is actually considering a Canada-like recommendation of two beers max per week.

Biden, most of America agrees, is totally ineffective

Bold & Blunt: Searching for sanity in an insane world

Democrats have gone socialist -- Marxist -- communist! Republicans have gone quiet on matters they need to go loud on. And the president is a puppet whose biggest concern is more focused on ice cream stops than on Maui, anti-American globalism, CCP dominance and the U.S. economy. What's happening?

Maui: There but for the grace of God go all

Zombie nation: Marijuana, Adderall and the destruction of America

America is becoming a nation of druggies. Whether these drugs are prescribed, illegal, legalized for recreational use or a combination of all three, the minds of Americans, both young and old, are being compromised.

It's not just about teaching that capitalism is evil. It's about filling the minds of the youngest and most vulnerable that America itself is evil -- and must be changed. This is why the public schools might have finally reached the stage of unfixable. Published August 17, 2023
