Joe Biden — stop the presses! — to hold news conference

President Biden, through his press secretary Jen Psaki, announced he is going to hold a new conference on, ba dum dum, dum, March 25. The fact this makes national news as an event to promote is an underscore of the weakness of this president. Published March 17, 2021

In this Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021, file photo, President Joe Biden pauses as he signs his first executive orders in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington. On Friday, Feb. 12, 2021, The Associated Press reported on a manipulated photo circulating online incorrectly asserting it shows Biden asleep in his seat at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office with a stack of executive orders in front of him. Biden’s head in the post comes from a 2011 event where he appears to briefly doze off as former President Barack Obama delivered a speech on the national debt. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)

Democrats on warpath to crumble America

Executive order after executive order. Open borders. Gun control. Trillion dollar stimulus giveaways on top of multitrillion-dollar debt. Now tax hikes? At this rate, by the end of the year, America as we know it will be no more. America the free? Try America like Venezuela. Published March 16, 2021

People surround a car as it arrives carrying food donations at a makeshift camp for migrants seeking asylum in the United States at the border crossing Friday, March 12, 2021, in Tijuana, Mexico. The Biden administration hopes to relieve the strain of thousands of unaccompanied children coming to the southern border by terminating a 2018 Trump-era order that discouraged potential family sponsors from coming forward to house the children.

Joe Biden has created a border mess

President Joe Biden told wanna-be border crossers to wait a bit -- don't come just yet -- and with that, opened the doors wide for border crossers. It's the caveat that counted most. To the masses, the message was: Don't worry; you'll get in. Eventually, you'll get in. Published March 15, 2021

Joe Biden swings into socialist gear with huge tax hike plan

Somebody's got to pay for all this $1.9 trillion and then some stimulus that's being handed to Americans as a means of keeping them home, away from work. Safe from that nasty 99% recovery-rated coronavirus. Right? Published March 15, 2021

Jose Rosas and his wife, Sara, who live in the 90060 zip code, wait in line to be screened for high temperature before being vaccinated at the St. John's Well Child and Family Center just-opened COVID-19 vaccination site at the East Los Angeles Civic Center in Los Angeles, Thursday, March 4, 2021. California will begin setting aside 40% of all vaccine doses for the state's most vulnerable neighborhoods in an effort to inoculate people most at risk from the coronavirus more quickly. The doses will be spread among 400 ZIP codes where there are about 8 million people eligible for shots. Advocates for health and racial justice cheered the move given the disproportionate number of cases and deaths among Latinos. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)

Americans may finally be corona-weary

A Morning Consult poll found that for the first time in a year, when the coronavirus hit, more Americans than not feel comfortable eating at a restaurant, inside, at a table, seated among friends and strangers both. America may finally be hitting the stage called corona-weary. Published March 6, 2021

In this Sept. 24, 2013, file photo, Courtney Keating, education coordinator of The Literacy Center in Evansville, Ind., reads "If I Ran the Zoo," By Dr. Seuss, to passersby during an event to promote literacy along the Evansville Riverfront. Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the business that preserves and protects the author and illustrator's legacy, announced on his birthday, Tuesday, March 2, 2021, that it would cease publication of several children's titles including "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" and "If I Ran the Zoo," because of insensitive and racist imagery. (Erin McCracken/Evansville Courier & Press via AP, File)

Dr. Seuss censorship sets impossible standard

If Dr. Seuss is the standard by which all authors are to be judged, make way for the book burnings. And bring lots of firewood. Because if Dr. Seuss and his cartoonish characters can't pass the anti-racism muster of the faces of the left, how can Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?" Published March 4, 2021

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., meets with reporters before the House votes to pass a $1.9 trillion pandemic relief package, during a news conference at the Capitol in Washington, Friday, Feb. 26, 2021.

Democrats stage COVID-19 ‘rescue’ that’s less rescue, more boondoggle

The name of the bill is H.R. 1319, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. But scroll the text, tabulate the figures, and it's plain to see the measure is far less for the rescue of the coronavirus-beaten people and far more for the political socialist ambitions of the Democrats. Published March 2, 2021

In this Wednesday, Feb. 24, 2021, file photo, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo speaks during a press conference before the opening of a mass COVID-19 vaccination site in the Queens borough of New York.

Cuomo subjected her to an unwanted kiss during years of sexual harassment have spurred calls for an investigation  and questions about who might meaningfully conduct one.

Nancy Pelosi throws Andrew Cuomo under bus

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dropped a bit of a bombshell on Sunday with a statement that said the sexual harassment accusations against Gov. Andrew Cuomo are "credible" and worthy of investigation. Tire, meet Cuomo's face. Published March 1, 2021

In this June 24, 2020, file photo, Antonio Mingo, of Washington, right, holds his fists in the air as demonstrators protest in front of a police line on a section of 16th Street that's been renamed Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, following the death of George Floyd, a black man who was in police custody in Minneapolis. A financial snapshot shared exclusively with The Associated Press shows the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation took in just over $90 million last year. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)

Black Lives Matter disturbingly mum on donors

Black Lives Matter -- the foundation -- raked in more than $90 million in donations in 2020, proving itself to be a major player in the political world then, now and, with Democrats holding all the positions of D.C. power, likely into the foreseeable future. So why the secrecy on donors? Published February 25, 2021

In this March 29, 2012, file photo author and political consultant Naomi Wolf speaks to reporters during a news conference in New York. (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer) ** FILE **

Naomi Wolf: Too little, too late — too disingenuous

Much ado is being made about ex-Clinton adviser and Joe Biden voter Naomi Wolf's explosive warning on Fox about the turning of this nation into a "totalitarian state" -- and it's not about nothing. But why doesn't the left ever heed the warnings before the 12th hour approaches? Published February 24, 2021

Military gives clues of experimental nature of COVID-19 vaccine

Get the coronavirus vaccination -- it's safe, it's effective, it's the way back to pre-pandemic normalcy. Those are the lines; these are the arguments. But consider this. If the coronavirus vaccines were all that safe and secure, then why isn't the military mandating it for troops? Published February 23, 2021

A Coca-Cola sign hangs outside a Coca-Cola distributor, Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2021, in Bedford, Ohio. The resurgent coronavirus slowed Coca-Cola’s recovery in the fourth quarter, and the company said the slump has continued through the first months of this year. (AP Photo/Tony Dejak)

Coca-Cola is racist, but so is Pepsi

Coca-Cola is facing significant backlash for a company-wide diversity training call for staffers to "try to be less white." But if you think the alternative is Pepsi -- think again. PepsiCo has been embroiled in some pretty racist messaging itself. Published February 22, 2021

UN agency Joe Biden to fund teaches school kids Israel is evil

UNRWA, an agency that's supposed to provide health, education and social services to select populations, has been just caught -- again -- pushing through schools via online materials that Israel is basically the devil. This is the agency President Joe Biden wants to resume funding. Published February 20, 2021

Christians should learn the power of ‘Bite me’

Patriotic Christians need to learn the power of the phrase "Bite me" -- and then, apply it accordingly. Repeat as needed. Our Judeo-Christian-based liberties are at stake. And who knows best how to fight for God-given rights than those trained in the ways and words of God? Published February 18, 2021

FILE - In this Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2019 file photo, Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., left, and Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., stand with President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky., as Trump speaks while departing after a Senate Republican Policy luncheon, on Capitol Hill in Washington. The Republican Party still belongs to Donald Trump. The GOP privately flirted with purging the norm-shattering former president after he incited a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol last month. But in the end, only seven of 50 Senate Republicans voted to convict Trump in his historic second impeachment trial on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2021. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File)

Donald Trump deplorables will not be purged

Hey, RINOs: Guess what? Neither Donald Trump nor his fan base is going quietly any time soon. This culture war, this political war, this fight for the future of America and battle over capitalism versus socialism -- this party is only getting started. Published February 17, 2021

Joe Biden’s ‘commonsense gun law reforms’ are the lies of the anti-2nd Amendment left

President Joe Biden, on the anniversary of the horrible tragedy called the Parkland school shootings, promised his administration would forever protect innocent Americans from similarly senseless crimes and soon enough, with Democrats holding majorities in both House and Senate, pass "commonsense gun law reforms." That is to say: End the Second Amendment as we know it. Published February 16, 2021

Double face-masking: Why not triple? Quadruple?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and health experts with Johns Hopkins just agreed with Anthony Fauci that double masking -- piling a mask on top of a mask over face and nose -- is "helpful" to fight coronavirus. "Helpful." There's a scientific finding for ya. Published February 13, 2021
