Virginia COVID-19 shutdown is a total farce

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam just issued new coronavirus-tied restrictions that include curfews, tighter mask mandates and more restrictions on indoor and outdoor gatherings -- supposedly because science tells him this is the right thing to do for citizens' safety.

In America, the default is individual freedom, not government dole-outs

The government, on COVID-19, has gone amok; on that, there is no question. But a question that does arise is this: Who's in charge here, anyway? It's supposed to be the people. COVID-19 has made it the government. And American citizens need to fight, fight, fight on this point or forever cede the notion of rights coming from God. Published December 8, 2020

This country is rapidly being split into believers versus non-believers.

If you think Joe Biden won and allegations of election fraud are the stuff of conspiracy nonsense, stand on that side. Published December 7, 2020

Obama, Clinton, Bush, Biden band for ridiculous vaccine virtue signal

Three former presidents and the one the media chose for incoming -- Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George Bush and Joe Biden -- have come forth to proudly proclaim they'll take the COVID-19 vaccine in public, for all to see, so all can see there's nothing to see here, no need to worry.

Twenty-six words tucked into a 1996 law overhauling telecommunications have allowed companies like Facebook, Twitter and Google to grow into the giants they are today. Those are the words President Donald Trump challenged in an executive order Thursday, May 28, 2020 one that would strip those protections if those companies engaged in “editorial decisions” — like, for instance, adding a fact-check warning to one of Trump's tweets.
