Rand Paul smackdown of George Stephanopoulos is what media deserve

Sen. Rand Paul went on "This Week" on ABC and, after being labeled by host George Stephanopoulos a liar and characterized as a political hack, fought back with this: George, you're not so much a "journalist" as "a fool." That's what most in the media these days deserve. Published January 25, 2021

Executive orders are not unifying

Joe Biden rose to the presidency on promises of healing America's soul and unifying the country -- and then, when he got there, turned around and slammed the Constitution down hard and issued a bunch of executive orders. That's hardly unifying. That's more, "I am zee law!" Published January 23, 2021

Newsmax TV is to Fox what Fox was to CNN

When Roger Ailes joined up with Rupert Murdoch to start Fox News as a conservative alternative to the liberal news networks, CNN mocked the competition as, well, hardly competition. It's a bit how Fox, in turn, treated Newsmax TV. And now, the chickens are coming home to roost. Published January 21, 2021

Republican pigs go full ‘Animal Farm’ and stab Donald Trump in the back

Scarcely had Donald Trump even packed his bags and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was already throwing his final daggers at the president's back, cutting deals with Dems. It's the final step.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, emboldened, ramps up calls to ‘abolish ICE’

Impeachment charade hurts all of America

The left will get its pound of flesh. If anything characterizes how Democrats and their cohorts in the left-leaning media work, it's that phrase -- and it's that phrase's meaning that's being played out with the current impeachment push against President Donald Trump. Published January 19, 2021

Violence plays right into the Saul Alinksy-loving Left’s hands

Violence plays into the hands of the left by giving them a high horse on which they can sit and blast condemnation upon this 'disgusting, vile, violent, gasp, right-wing batch of deplorables.' Or whatever similar suitably condemning phraseology fits the mood of the moment. Published January 16, 2021

Parler’s fight is every American’s fight

Big Tech will only be halted by mass boycott

The only way to stop Big Tech and put an end to the social media CEOs' hatred of and hostility to all-things-conservative is for consumers to rally in one huge mass and mount an immediate boycott of all these platforms. And the chance of that happening, seriously, is slim. Published January 15, 2021

Democrats making martyr of Donald Trump

Democrats are turning President Donald Trump into a political martyr. And the more Democrats and some Republicans attack, the more Trump's base of support of uniting, growing, strengthening -- and preparing for comeback. The left always overplays its hand. Published January 14, 2021

Donald Trump’s erasure doesn’t kill MAGA spirit

YouTube just suspended President Donald Trump from its platform for a period of seven days -- or more. That comes after Twitter banned Trump forever and Facebook booted his account indefinitely.

This photo made available by the U.S. National Archives shows a portion of the United States Constitution with the title of Article V. For the past two centuries, constitutional amendments have originated in Congress, where they need the support of two-thirds of both houses, and then the approval of at least three-quarters of the states. But under a never-used second prong of Article V, amendments can originate in the states. (National Archives via AP) ** FILE **

Parler goes dark in biggest free speech heist of modern day

Big Tech has decided the social media option, Parler -- which grew in recent months due to the blatant censorship of Big Tech, by Big Tech, and denied by the liars at Big Tech -- well, that same Big Tech has decided that Parler grew too big for its own britches. So they targeted it for takedown. And they took it down. Published January 11, 2021

Great Reset is corporate communism, and it’s coming to America

Joe Biden's just-announced Cabinet picks for Labor and Commerce -- Mayor Marty Walsh and Gov. Gina Raimondo, respectively -- share the common denominator of being tight with the unions. And that makes perfect sense when you consider the corporate-run communism that's coming to America under Democrats. Published January 9, 2021
