Transgender enablers are cruel, wicked and even criminal

The LGBTQ movement in this nation has rapidly shifted to one of demanding tolerance for utter evil. It's high time to drum out the evil. It's past time to call out the lies for what they are: lies.

Biden’s immoral, sleazy vote-buying, student debt forgiveness scheme

The Cato Institute filed a lawsuit against the Department of Education, alleging President Joe Biden's plans to erase student loans violates taxpayer rights. Absolutely correct. This is a cut and dry instance of Peter getting screwed to pay off Paul's loans. Published October 19, 2022

Socialism in America thriving as secularism grows

Youth are being taught a batch of lies: namely, that life is about making a buck, that the path to success should be easy, and that some are born with unfair advantages and therefore, their subsequent successes are unearned. These are all ingredients in the recipe called socialism. Published October 18, 2022

January 6 is not the drop dead Election Day deal Democrats think

Democrats believe that a subpoena to Donald Trump will be the final, dramatic moment voters say, hey, you're right, Dems, we do hate The Donald and we're going to vote against all Republicans this coming November. But nobody cares about January 6. Not really. Published October 15, 2022

Biden does a Humpty Dumpty with ‘slight’ recession remark

President Joe Biden said he didn't think there would be a recession, but if there were, it would be "very slight" -- but not to worry because he doesn't "anticipate" even this slightness of economic slump. Democrats and their equivocations. What's a "slight" recession, anyway? Published October 13, 2022

Democrats and their dirty politics, ‘disgraceful tactics’

GOP Jennifer-Ruth Green is running for Congress against Indiana Democrat Rep. Frank Mrvan. Turns out, she's a survivor of sexual assault.

Midterms for sale! Power to the people is now power for the few

The midterms are only a few weeks away and according to tabulations from OpenSecrets.org, which has been tracking spending by outside groups, they're shaping to be the most expensive on record. So much for power to the people. Published October 8, 2022

Face masks make massive inroads with brainwashed college crowd

Only a few colleges are forcing face masks for this fall's return to campus. But it doesn't really matter. Most college kids, according to recently collected data, are voluntarily wearing them anyway. Why? At root: the brainwashing of the past coronavirus years has been successful.

Joe Biden sees dead people, mental decline is unfolding right before our eyes

We can't have the person who's supposed to be the most powerful individual in the world wandering off stage, shaking unseeable hands, calling on the deceased. Those aren't gaffes.

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

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
