Billionaires reap big bucks during coronavirus despair
The coronavirus has been devastating to America's economy, to America's businesses, to America's entrepreneurs, to America's farmers and fitness trainers and food servers and file clerks -- to blue-collar and white-collar workers alike. Not all, however, have similarly suffered. Published January 7, 2021
China goes ‘full rogue,’ sparking fears of next ‘Cuban Missile Crisis’
The mass arrest of pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong, combined with the messaging of China's president for all soldiers to be on alert for combat "at all times," has set the global stage for the "most dangerous moment since the Cuban Missile Crisis," according to one China affairs expert, Gordon G. Chang. That's comforting. Published January 6, 2021
God or bust — America’s choice is clear
There comes a time when things get so bad that even those without faith, even those who don't normally pray, even those who don't consider themselves believers in a higher power -- when things go so far south that even these secular types turn to God and ask for help. It's in these desperate conditions America now stands. Published January 5, 2021
Democrats set 117th Congress stage for godlessness
Democrat Rep. Emanuel Cleaver opened the 117th Congress in a prayer -- of sorts -- to "the monotheistic god, Brahma, and god known by many names by many different faiths." And then he wrapped with "amen and a-woman." With this prayer, Dems are essentially giving the boot to God from government. Published January 4, 2021
WHO can take its ‘next pandemic’ and shove it
For all you "let's just listen to the government so we can get back to normal" types out there, listen up: World health wonks are already paving the way to the next pandemic and with it more liberty-restricting lockdowns. Published January 2, 2021
Fear is the socialist, communist, collectivist left’s greatest weapon
Leftists love fear. In a choice between persuading by logic and pressuring by fear, leftists will go for fear every time. Why? It's the go-to motivator for the nonthinking crowd. Published December 31, 2020
Democrats, RINOs alike dying to get rid of Donald Trump
Democrats, deep staters, RINOs, Black Lives Matter Marxist-types -- all these players and more are just days from breathing sighs of relief at the end of the "America First" administration, the one run by Donald Trump, the one run by the guy who outright, beginning to end, refused to play polite political behind-closed-door games.

China threat looms large at America’s college campuses
America's college campuses, already corrupted by Marxist-loving professors bent on reliving their 1960s protest years, have now become even more dangerous places for the youth of the country. Nothing says "Tear Down These American Walls" like a pro-communist, properly propagandized youthful batch of college grads -- yes? Published December 31, 2020
Anthony Fauci’s ‘lying’ is hardly surprising
Sen. Marco Rubio just called out Anthony Fauci in a penned piece posted on Fox News as a lying liar who arrogantly used his position as the nation's top infectious disease bureaucrat to lie to the American people "in order to manipulate their behavior." It's a good piece; a crucial read. But readers, take note: Why be surprised? Published December 30, 2020
California shows COVID-19 shutdowns are all about politics, power plays
California has just seen an uptick in coronavirus case counts. That's after the state's residents suffered some of the country's toughest crackdowns on freedoms. So in response to the uptick in coronavirus case counts, the Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, has -- get this -- issued more stay-at-home crackdowns. Come again? Published December 30, 2020
Americans want work, not stimulus handouts
Six hundred dollars here, $2,000 there, government funding here, coronavirus stimulus there. As Congress and Capitol Hill grapple with the fate of final and ongoing relief funding amounts for Americans, the simple fact is this: These handouts are getting wearisome. Americans, true Americans, want to work. Published December 29, 2020
Anthony Fauci blames states’ rights for coronavirus spread
Dr. Anthony Fauci just told BBC Radio 4 that it's that pesky ol' 10th Amendment that has proven a real detriment to disease-fighting. He wants total federal clamp-downs and few-to-zero sovereign state COVID-19 decisions. Of course, he didn't explicitly say all this. He gave it the Fauci Treatment, which is to say the subtle sell.

Joe Biden cometh, and he’s bringing his czars to rule
Make way for the czars. A Joe Biden White House, as media report is in the works, will bring more czars, more issuance of regulation, more Barack Obama-like pen and phone governance than any kind of duly passed laws and order. Published December 28, 2020
All I want for Christmas is the Constitution
Build back better. It's the campaign call of leftists everywhere who want to see a better nation, nay better world, emerging from all this coronavirus stuff. It's such an alluring slogan, but it disguises its nasty socialist catch. Published December 19, 2020
Mike Pence doesn’t faint, proving COVID-19 vaccine both safe and effective
Vice President Mike Pence took to live television to take the coronavirus vaccine in his arm -- and that's some darn good leadership right there, indeed. Moreover, he didn't faint. Even better leadership. 'Cause nothing says "don't follow me!" like a man trying to cut a "follow me, get the vaccine" public health spot who then faints. Like that nurse did in Tennessee.

Pennsylvania face mask mandates failed
Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf and his transgender health secretary Rachel Levine have demanded citizens in their state of Pennsylvania wear face masks for months as a means of combatting the coronavirus. But the masks failed. Coronavirus case counts are up. Published December 18, 2020
Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee poised to buck teachers’ unions
Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat, just announced that he wants his state of Washington to open schools for in-person instruction, COVID-19 case counts be danged. Well, case counts almost be danged. In these coronavirus shut-down times, it's practically political blasphemy for a Democrat to acknowledge the failures of online learning. Published December 17, 2020
Barack Obama, a boring boor who can’t stop condemning conservatives
Former President Barack Obama just said that Republicans suck, the Republican Party sucks, all the Republicans in America suck, and that the only smart people in the nation, nay the world, are Democrats and progressives and progressive Democrats. Not in so many words, of course. But it was implied. What a boor. And a bore. Published December 17, 2020
Joe Biden names Pete Buttigieg to ‘Harris-Biden’ Cabinet
In remarks to introduce Pete Buttigieg as the newest member of a Joe Biden White House administration, Biden referenced his looming most diverse Cabinet -- his most diverse "Harris-Biden" Cabinet. Come on, dude. Get with the program. Published December 16, 2020
Anthony Fauci the humanist demands stay-at-home for Christ’s birthday
Dr. Anthony Fauci said in an interview with The Washington Post's "Power Up" team that Christmas "cannot be business as usual" this year because of the coronavirus and that since he's giving up his family gathering in the name of saving America, then all the other Americans out there should do so as well. Give up church, you mean? Published December 16, 2020
