Flatten the curve and other coronavirus lies

Flatten the curve -- it's a phrase that's a whisper from days gone by. But fast-forward to today and to today's Democrat-fueled crackdowns on personal liberties and it's obvious: The coronavirus has become never-ending. And that's just how the left wants it. Published December 16, 2021

U.S. former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivers her speech during an international conference that aims to fast-track the road to gender equality and mobilize millions of dollars to achieve the long-sought goal quickly, at the Louvre Carrousel in Paris, France, Wednesday, June 30, 2021.

Hillary Clinton, the Democrats’ Hail Mary

Democrats are busily scurrying for a fresh new face to run for 2024 because, as the whispers go, President Biden, isn't working out too well. He can't get inflation under control, he can't get the coronavirus under control, he can't keep Russia in control. Yada, yada, the theme repeats. Published December 16, 2021

Elon Musk slam-dunks a big win over Sen. Elizabeth Warren

The just-named "Time Person of the Year" Elon Musk told Sen. Elizabeth Warren to stop acting like a kid's "angry mom" after she called him a "freeloader" for paying low taxes despite his billionaire status. Sorry, but this round goes to Musk. Published December 15, 2021

Biden’s approval dismal, even by dismal standards

President Biden is losing favor with the American public to such an extent that he's giving dismal a positive spin. It's a spiraling trend the Democrats are dreading, given the midterms are right around the corner. Published December 14, 2021

The steeple of the Corpus Christi Catholic Church is silhouetted against the evening sky, Monday, June 14, 2021, in Galesburg, Ill. Settled more than 180 years ago, Galesburg was built around Knox College, founded by Presbyterians from upstate New York seeking a Christian school on the western frontier. The city soon became home to Illinois' first anti-slavery society. (AP Photo/Shafkat Anowar) ** FILE **

‘SNL’ blasphemes with twerking Jesus sketch

"Saturday Night Live" kicked off the Christmas season with a "Hip-Hop Nativity" segment that set Mary as a stripper, Joseph as the "baby daddy" and Jesus as a twerking infant. Blasphemous and unfunny. Published December 13, 2021

Jill Biden more political opportunist than wife

President Joe Biden has a problem forming complete sentences, has a challenge walking without assistance, has a difficulty stringing together thoughts in a cohesive manner -- and those are his good days. But to his wife, Jill, that's "ridiculous." Published December 11, 2021

Jen Psaki continues Democrat legacy of condescension

Hollywood's Kirstie Alley took to Twitter to call out White House press secretary Jen Psaki as a "mean girl" mirror image whose condescending demeanor is growing tiresome. Multiply that times a few million and there's a description that fits most of modern-day Democrats. Published December 10, 2021

Mr. Biden Wednesday defended his massive social spending bill, saying it will ease inflation and lower prices, going on the defensive after back-to-back grim economic reports from the Department of Labor. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster) **FILE**

Democrats can’t lie their way out of inflation

President Biden and his water carriers want Americans to believe that inflation is good for the economy, good for ye olde pocketbook, good for friends and foes alike because, well, gosh darn it, everyone is helped when prices soar. Don't get the logic? Don't worry. There is none. Published December 10, 2021

Republicans lose sight of war when waging petty, inner-party battles

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Texas Republican, just called out GOP members of the House Freedom Caucus, a group that includes Reps. Louie Gohmert, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene, as "grifters" and "performance artists." Can you say, thanks, Dan? Democrats are. Published December 9, 2021

Gretchen Whitmer — Gretchen Whitmer!! — questions vaccine mandates

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the Michiganian who became the face of American tyranny when she cracked down on seed purchases and gardening supplies during the blooming stages of the coronavirus, is hesitant to adopt vaccine mandates. Look to the skies. Pigs must be flying. Published December 8, 2021

In this Aug. 9, 2018, file photo, Safe Night Access Project in Seattle volunteers show some of the products they give away to sex workers and other people who ask for as part of providing harm reduction services along a north Seattle strip known for prostitution. Recent crackdowns targeting the sex-for-hire industry have reduced the number of commercial ads on the internet and helped fight online trafficking. But activists and police say the efforts may have had unintended consequences — landing women and girls back on the streets, where dangers also lurk. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson) ** FILE **

America’s lost generation of girls

Teachers who applaud the sex trade? High school girls who dream of selling their sexualized bodies? America is rapidly becoming a Rome. If we want a nation that fosters the best of humanity, not the worst -- we must stop teaching our girls to behave like prostitutes. Published December 7, 2021

(Steve Parsons/PA via AP, file)

Big Pharma, WHO, globalists tee up next virus fear

Sarah Gilbert, one of the creators of the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccines, said the next virus "could be worse. It could be more contagious, or more lethal, or both," Reuters reported. No dip, Sherlock. The next one could be tame, too. Or lame. Or completely unnoticeable. Published December 6, 2021

America can’t survive another three years of Joe Biden

The next presidential election isn't until 2024. The next president won't take the inaugural oath until 2025. That's a long time for the current White House to run its unconstitutional course. America, under Joe Biden, won't survive the next three years. Published December 4, 2021

Dr. Fauci and his galactic, galaxy-size ego

Dr. Anthony Fauci said Republicans are "lying" when they attack him and that he's "saving lives" with his medical advice to stay home, stay away from others and take shot after shot after shot. Messianic complex, meet victim complex. This guy's ego is as big as the Milky Way. Published November 30, 2021

Whiny Trump-haters are political revisionists

It takes a powerful historical revisionist to suggest Donald Trump's fans are ignorant and Trump himself was an anomaly. The fact is Trump's rise in ranks came because of the failure of these very high-brow types to see how their own political elitism was killing conservatism. Published November 29, 2021

China only grows bolder under Biden

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon just shot off a quip about China that wasn't exactly fawning -- and shortly after, he apologized. More to truth, he was pressured to apologize. This is just part and parcel of a growing trend, made worse under Joe Biden, for America to bend to China. Published November 27, 2021

Vaccinated? None of your freaking business

Once upon a time, the personal and private health records and choices of free American citizens were just that -- personal and private. Now? Not so much. And that's a danger to civil liberties. So quit asking about vaccination status. Quit answering about vaccination status. Published November 26, 2021

Thanksgiving vs. Franksgiving: Choose wisely, America

One president marked Thanksgiving with God. The other, with secularism. And on that theme, this is the cultural tension that divides the nation to this day. Choose wisely, America, which path to pursue: Our nation's freedoms depend on the correct selection. Published November 25, 2021
