Hurricane Ian, to Democrats, a chance to score political points

Socialist Bernie Sanders still eyes White House

Sen. Bernie Sanders, independent by name but socialist by game, said he hasn't yet decided on another run for the White House in 2024. That figures. He barely can decide on a political party. How could he possibly know if he wants to run the country or not? Published September 28, 2022

Sexualizing youth is America’s great, growing evil

A school in Newburyport, Massachusetts, has made available to students via its library shelves a book called "This Book is Gay," with a subject matter that teaches how to use online sex apps.

GOP’s ‘Commitment to America’ should be God-given rights

So House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy unveiled a new Republican guiding document called the "Commitment to America." Well and good. But the best commitment the GOP could make is to recognize the God-given rights that each and every American is supposedly afforded. Published September 23, 2022

Air Force goes full throttle pansy

Air Force cadets are being told to stop using words like "mom" and "dad" to describe their moms and dads because "some families" have "two moms, two dads" and it's best to "include all genders," even the made-up ones, it seems. Yet one more example of America's woke military. Published September 23, 2022

Geraldo Rivera of Fox News fame took to social media to backstab, er, fault Donald Trump for his "undermine" of America's "faith in our elections," and said: "Without fealty to the Constitution, we're 2d rate." Say hello to Geraldo, America's Constitution expert. Not. Published September 9, 2022

DOJ water carriers are oh so full of it

Leftists, if nothing else, are astonishingly hypocritical. Just look at how they reacted to District Judge Aileen Cannon and her special master ruling, versus Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart and his signing of the search warrant for Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home. Published September 7, 2022
