Intellectuals are proving bad for America
What a joy it is to be part of the intelligentsia these days, where words can mean whatever is wanted and data can be manipulated to show whatever is desired.

Fla. Gov. Ron DeSantis smacks down ‘COVID theater’
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told a group of students to take off their face masks, and then he chastised, "We've got to stop with this COVID theater."

White House wants to waste $22.5 billion fighting pandemic that’s long gone
The White House has requested Congress approve $22.5 billion in new funding for COVID-19, fully $5 billion of which would be sent overseas, to help other nations and other governments and other peoples fight off the coronavirus. Ain't U.S. taxpayer dollars grand? Published March 3, 2022
Senate Republicans wield teeny-weeny twig on vaccine mandates
The U.S. Senate, with a Republican-dominated voice of 49 to 44, passed a resolution to block Joe Biden's presidentially decreed coronavirus shot mandates for healthcare workers. Republicans are calling it a victory. But it's not. Not really. Published March 3, 2022

Zelenskyy is what Biden should be
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is strong, resolute, determined, courageous and unflappable in the face of oncoming Russians led by a communist ex-KGBer who has vowed to murder him and bring the country of Ukraine to its knees. He's what U.S. President Biden is not. Published March 1, 2022
Another ballyhooed COVID-19 shot bites the dust
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine that was supposed to protect kids ages 5 to 11 from catching the virus with a 68% efficacy rate has now been outed as nearly ineffective. Its efficacy rate is actually only, get this, 12%. Another day, another one bites the dust. Published March 1, 2022
America, under Biden, is dropping the foreign policy ball
It's a fast-moving scene in and near Ukraine, but no matter the advance of Russian troops, the theme doesn't change: A weak America emboldens the world's hostile players. It's largely President Biden's fault. Published February 26, 2022
America’s real COVID-19 ‘national emergency’ is fatness
President BIden just expanded the national emergency declaration of COVID-19. Why? It's all political theater, political deception, political hucksters imposing political hoaxes on the people.

Hillary Clinton can’t move past her victim mentality
Hillary Clinton, in a speech before the New York Democratic Convention, decried how "they've been coming after me again lately." If Clinton is really poised to reenter politics and take a White House run, she might want to lose the victim card. Published February 19, 2022

Americans finally putting scientists back in their subservient place
A new Pew poll finds that Americas across all political walks have lost trust in scientists, and now wonder whether these brainiacs truly have in mind and hold in heart the best interests of the people.

San Francisco parents show school board who’s the boss
San Francisco voters ousted three school board members, and did so with a wide enough margin to send a strong message to other power-grabbing bureaucrats around the nation. Parents are tired of school officials who think they know best how to raise kids. Published February 16, 2022
COVID-19 emergency declarations must end now
The White House, in the coming days, will make a decision on whether or not to continue a couple of the emergency declarations tied to COVID-19. It's high time to stop with the hysteria.

Truckers unite! Democrats should love these protests
The Department of Homeland Security sent 'round a warning to police in America about the possibility of truckers here getting their Canada on and setting up blockades in the streets to protest vaccine mandates.
