Vaccine mandates claim another victim

An In-N-Out restaurant in Contra Costa County in California was forced to close because business owners refused to play the government's game and force customers to show zee vaccine papahs as conditions of entry. It's boot-stomping good times for the Democrats. Published October 27, 2021

Science in the hands of Democrats is a weapon

Vaccine mandates, vaccine schmandates

The White House told the governors of Florida and Texas to stop undercutting the feds by allowing citizens to exercise free choice. Or else. It's almost as they think their trumped-up vaccine mandates are truly mandates or something. That's so cute. Bless their hearts. Published October 14, 2021

Southwest pilots are patriots for fighting COVID-19 vaccines

Southwest Airlines canceled 1,800-plus flights over the weekend on account of wink, wink, bad weather -- but the more plausible reason is that scores of pilots refused to fly because of COVID-19 vaccine mandates. If so, these pilots are patriots who deserve Americans' full support. Published October 11, 2021

America losing her youth to socialism

America has a socialism problem, and it's one that's only growing worse with each school year. But this is by design. The Democratic Party's playbook is to turn the next generation into the best little sheep they can be. Why? The better to solidify party power, of course. Published October 9, 2021

Biden, in weakness, emboldens China to aggress Taiwan

America is in peril. You know it, I know it, we all either see these perilous times for what they are, or we instinctively feel them.
