Joe Rogan vs. Anthony Fauci

When it comes to taking advice on COVID-19, Americans would do far better to listen to comedian Joe Rogan than NIAID's Dr. Anthony Fauci. Rogan's got common sense. Fauci's a power-monger and media whore whose flip-flopping scientific advisements are hardly scientific at all. Published August 31, 2021

Michael Savage slams Biden the ‘bum,’ ‘mook,’ ‘faker’

Radio's boldest voice, Michael Savage, slammed Joe Biden during an interview as a "bum," a "failure," a "mook," a "faker" for his Afghanistan withdrawal, and outright blamed the president for getting people killed. And that was just the warmup. But his points are true blue true. Published August 31, 2021

North Korea, right on cue, ramps up nuclear pursuits

The headlines speak volumes: "North Korean nuclear reactor used for plutonium production appears active, IAEA says," CNN wrote, and "Notorious North Korea Nuclear Reactor Reportedly Back Up and Running," The Daily Beast reported. President Biden's legacy of weakness continues. Published August 30, 2021

America, on Afghanistan, lost moral standing

America's always been the good guy. America's the country of charity, the nation of aid and assistance, the people who fight the good fight, ride the white horse, help the helpless. But now, thanks to the Biden White House, America's wearing a coat of shame called betrayal. Published August 28, 2021

Democrats, party of tyrants: ‘Reward of vaccination is freedom’

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio told CBS "This Morning" audiences that "the reward of vaccination is freedom" and to those who don't play -- too bad. "Tragically," he said, "if you don't get vaccinated, you're going to be left out." Democrats are such tyrants. Published August 26, 2021

Supporters of a bill that would prohibit public and private employers from requiring vaccinations or punishing workers who don't receive them rally in favor of the legislation demonstrate outside the Ohio Statehouse, Tuesday, Aug. 24, 2021, in Columbus, Ohio.

Employers buck COVID-19 vaccine mandates

Gab News, in an email, wrote: "In light of the Biden Administration encouraging employers to mandate vaccines ... Gab has created a No Vax Mandate Job Board group." More Gab, please. Published August 25, 2021

A spokeswoman says the party planned for this weekend at his home on Martha's Vineyard is now limited to family and close friends. Obama, who turned 60 on Wednesday, had been criticized for planning a big celebration during a pandemic. (AP Photo/Brynn Anderson)

Obama got his party; Martha’s Vineyard got its COVID-19 spike

In early August, former President Barack Obama held a birthday party for himself that included a guest list of hundreds. By the end of August, Martha's Vineyard emergency rooms were filled with COVID-19 clients. Coincidence? Published August 24, 2021

Florida schools forcing face masks deny parents’ rights

Leon County Schools has joined a growing list of districts in Florida that are outright rebelling against Gov. Ron DeSantis and his executive order prohibiting the forced face-masking of students returning to the classrooms. It's really a rebellion against parental authorities, though. Published August 24, 2021

Taliban will only grow stronger, more violent as time ticks on

The fall of Afghanistan into the hands of the Taliban shows America as a land of betrayers, positions China for its next step toward world dominance and guarantees that violence, bloodshed and oppression will be the ruling order of the day in this nation of tribes. Published August 21, 2021

Biden’s shame: Afghan women fearing Taliban hurl babies over barbed wire

The ultimate summation of President Biden's administration, as captured in photos, will be those of Afghan women hurling their babies over barbed wire at the Kabul airport in desperate attempts for U.S. soldiers to fly them to safety. Way to go, Joe. Way. To. Go. Published August 19, 2021

If only Dems were as tough on terrorists as on conservatives

Democrats will do whatever it takes to use this coronavirus for control and political advantage, even if it means hunkering in huddles behind closed doors to come up with any creative idea -- any ol' idea will do! -- to defy a GOP leader, to buck conservatives, to stop individualism. Published August 19, 2021

Taliban fighters patrol in Wazir Akbar Khan neighborhood in the city of Kabul, Afghanistan, Wednesday, Aug. 18, 2021.

Democrats, party of women’s rights, leave Afghans in deep, dire distress

Democrats are supposed to be the party where the beleaguered find solace and the burdened find equality -- where the women, Blacks and LGBTQs, for instance, turn when the mean ol' Republicans get all misogynist and hateful and racist on them. But for the poor, pushed-aside women of Afghanistan, it's all talk, no walk. Published August 18, 2021

Afghanistan shows utter folly of Democrats

For a brief moment in time -- four years, four Donald Trump years -- the world's heads of state respected America; the nation's limited government types took a refreshing breather. Then came President Biden, fresh from his basement, and within months, chaos. Published August 17, 2021

Fear plus false figures equals Democrat coronavirus control

Once upon a time, critical thinking used to be a prized trait. Not any more. Fear -- the emotion that by nature causes irrational, impulsive and oft-erroneous thinking and behavior -- has taken root of America and ridden roughshod over constitutional and God-given rights. Published August 14, 2021

CDC tees up next mass hysteria

The CDC just warned that a new tropical disease, a rare tropical disease, a new and rare and hardly ever-before-seen tropical disease, has come to America's soil. And now two people have died. And the scary part is: More people could die. A lockdown of the nation seems warranted. Published August 12, 2021

Andrew Cuomo, consummate narcissist, bows out by blaming women

Andrew Cuomo, what a guy. He may be a serial sexual harasser -- allegedly -- but he's got a real "looking out for you, kid" persona. And guess what: He very likely, quite possibly, almost certainly, maybe and perhaps thinks he still has a chance to pursue his political career. Published August 11, 2021
