Democrats are off the rails on abortion

Democrat Rep.

Seriously? Democrats have gone off the rails on abortion. Published May 14, 2022

Democrats, socialists, globalists segue COVID fears into climate alarmism

Note to patriotic Americans; memo to optimistic citizens: There is no automatic return to pre-pandemic norms. The left won't have it, and leftists have already shifted into stage two of the "Using COVID-19 For Political Gain" playbook. It's called environmentalism. Published May 12, 2022

An anti-scaling fence is seen outside of the U.S. Supreme Court, Tuesday, May 10, 2022 in Washington.

Abortion is a socialist’s best friend

The Democratic Socialists of America has put out the call for organization members and supporters to get in the streets and demand, demand, demand unfettered access to abortion. This is such a socialist game plan. Abortion plays right into the strategies of far leftists. Published May 11, 2022

COVID cases climb — yawn!

The number of positive test COVID-19 cases have spiked among attendees of the White House correspondents' dinner, and newspapers the nation over have been sounding the alarms, raising a ruckus, blaring the warnings. But here's the thing: So what? So freaking what? Published May 10, 2022

Pelosi spews hysterical lies over abortion

Pro-abortion activists are ultimately railing against God

Abortion rights' activists say they're targeting churches because six Supreme Court justices are "extremist" Catholics, and they want to send a message about women's rights and civil rights and equal rights. But what they're really doing, at root, is railing against God. Published May 7, 2022

Americans must demand pre-pandemic normalcy

If Americans are waiting for a return to pre-pandemic normalcies, then the wait's going to be a long one. Interminably long. Try never. Americans must demand their pre-pandemic freedoms. Expecting the government to return them is a plan of futility. Published May 5, 2022

“Lockdown: The Socialist Plan To Take Away Your Freedom” by Cheryl Chumley (Humanix 2022, 256 pages).

Control the health care, control the people

BOOK EXCERPT: With this coronavirus vaccine, governments are using tax dollars to pay private firms to develop a vaccine the governments insist is necessary -- or people will die! -- and the private firms are providing the vaccines to the governments in exchange for tax dollars. Published May 3, 2022

FILE - In this Nov. 19, 2020, file photo, White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx speaks during a news conference with the coronavirus task force at the White House in Washington. On Friday, June 4, 2021, The Associated Press reported on stories circulating online incorrectly asserting the U.S. military has arrested Birx for conspiring to push face masks on Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic. Birx, former coordinator of the White House coronavirus response, has not been arrested.  (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File)

Deborah Birx makes astonishing admission of anti-Trump pact

Deborah Birx said she had a pact with her medical bureaucrat friends that they all would resign if even one were removed by then-President Donald Trump. This is essentially an admission of the deep state politicking of America's unelected medical bureaucrats. Published April 29, 2022

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas pauses during testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, on Capitol Hill, Thursday, April 28, 2022, in Washington. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci) **FILE**

America flirts with George Orwell on ‘disinformation’ board

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is creating a "Disinformation Governance Board" to take on lies and deceits tied to the 2022 midterms, and ostensibly, the liars and deceivers who tell the lies and deceits. What a concept. It's right out of George Orwell's "1984." Published April 28, 2022

Vice President Kamala Harris speaks during a Cabinet meeting at the White House complex in Washington, April 13, 2022. Harris tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, the White House announced. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File)

Kamala Harris just the latest COVID-19 vaccine failure

Vice President Kamala Harris just tested positive for COVID-19, despite being fully vaccinated, despite receiving two booster shots -- the latest on April 1 -- and despite wearing a face mask pretty much everywhere she went. So, not to be rude, but what's the point of getting the shot? Published April 28, 2022

Satanic Temple a societal scourge only godly citizens can rout

The Satanic Temple has become both a blot on America and a sad commentary on the direction of this nation's moral compass. This is what happens when a nation turns from God. The wolves that were kept outside the gate are suddenly allowed in -- and in they come. Published April 26, 2022

Dr. Anthony Fauci testifies before a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing on Jan. 11, 2022, on Capitol Hill in Washington. (Greg Nash/Pool via AP) ** FILE **

Anthony Fauci has no idea about America

Anthony Fauci is that special breed of bureaucrat that thinks those citizens who pay his salary are peons. He thinks the Constitution is a piece of paper, nothing more, and that "God-given rights" is a phrase slung by right-wing conspiracists who have no place in modern America. Published April 23, 2022

Barack Obama sows seeds of government controlled speech

Barack Obama has resurfaced on the speaking stage to campaign against free speech and for government controls. He doesn't frame it that way, of course. Like most globalist groupthink bureaucrats, he disguises his intents with softer phrases packaged as concern for the people. Published April 22, 2022

Democrats’ dance with face mask stupid

(Larry Steagall/Kitsap Sun via AP, File)

Supreme Court has no real right to rule on prayer

The crime of praying. In America? In a nation founded on a quest for religious freedom, forged on Judeo-Christian principles and raised to a state of exceptionalism on a concept of individual rights coming from God, not government -- is there really such a thing as a crime of praying? Published April 19, 2022

FILE - New York City Mayor Eric Adams speaks during the news conference at Harlem Hospital after the shooting in Harlem on Jan. 21, 2022, in New York. Adams, a former New York City police captain, took office this year with a central focus on making the city feel safe and trying to return it to some sense of normalcy post-pandemic. But the first 3 1/2 months of his administration have been beset by a string of high-profile violent incidents, with the Tuesday, April 12, shooting on a subway train the most terrifying and public of all.

Progressives pulling America into police state

Leftists want to defund the police, but don't want to pay the consequences at the polls when people are alarmed by hikes in crime. So they pretend to come up with other solutions to fight crime -- other solutions that a) aren't solutions and b) strip rights from law-abiding citizens. Published April 18, 2022
