Twitter is losing users, just as censorship fatigue hits hard
Twitter tried to subvert the Constitution by using the free market to turn the censoring of conservative thought into a defensible position. And now Americans are using their free-market choices to say goodbye to Twitter. That's called tit for tat. That's called just due. That's called paying the piper. Published November 3, 2020
Joe Biden, fearing evangelicals for Trump, tweets his own Catholic faith
And just like that -- the Democrats have brought out the Bible again. Joe Biden, in a campaign tweet, wrote: "My faith has been my anchor through highs and lows -- a guiding light that taught me the values of honesty, decency, and treating others with respect. As president, it will continue to serve as a source of strength." Published November 2, 2020
Anthony Fauci should’ve been fired long ago
President Donald Trump suggested to a Florida rally crowd he might fire Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, once Election Day has passed. This is called an About Time moment. Fauci should've been fired long ago. Published November 2, 2020
Police, stripped of protection, should do an ‘Atlas Shrugged’ and leave
The police in Washington, D.C., have just been stripped of much of their protective gear -- specifically, their riot gear. Why? Because a man named Karon Hylton, 20, who was driving a moped without a helmet, at times on a sidewalk, was followed by a police cruiser and, while fleeing, crashed into another car and died. Ridiculous. Published October 31, 2020
Socialism in new survey again gains favor in America — and here’s why
A new YouGov survey of 2,100 U.S. citizens ages 16 and older finds that the term "socialism" is being regarded with rising favor among America's more youthful population, the Generation Z-ers and millennials, collectively between the ages of 16 and 39. This is horrible. And patriotic Americans, Christians in particular, must fight. Published October 30, 2020
Virginia set to tear down Confederate flag, Robert E. Lee — history
A large Confederate flag that's flown the Interstate 95 skies in Stafford County, Virginia -- and that's been the subject of much heated debate, particularly in recent politically correct times -- will finally be pulled from its post. Chalk this as another historical symbol on the way out, deemed too offensive for public display. Published October 29, 2020
Republican AGs plot path to save America from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris
Republican attorneys general around the nation have been busily gathering and strategizing how to best offset a worst-case scenario this coming Election Day -- a win for Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Just in case -- it's a phrase that saves. And in this case, it's a phrase that marks a preparation to save the nation from socialism. Published October 29, 2020
Americans shouldn’t have to suffer another COVID-19 lockdown
On the coronavirus, President Donald Trump strikes the right tone. His Democratic rival Joe Biden, on the other hand -- well, off the mark is putting is kindly. Off the rails is more like it. Americans, at this point in time, are fearing lockdowns, shutdowns and total economic clampdowns much more than they're fearing the virus. Published October 29, 2020
Donald Trump train chugs as Joe Biden’s sputters
The polls -- the same polls who predicted Hillary Clinton in the White House -- say President Donald Trump is going to lose. The people -- the packs and packs of people who have been turning out for his rallies in 2016-like masses -- suggest otherwise. Apparently, they've not gotten the message? Published October 28, 2020
Kamala Harris dodges socialism to disguise socialism
Sen. Kamala Harris, in a CBS News interview, burst out laughing when she was asked if she'd spend her White House career as vice president serving as an advocate of the "socialist or progressive perspective" in politics. And this is hugely significant because it underscores how socialism sneaks into America. Published October 27, 2020
Bill Gates, software dude, slams Dr. Scott Atlas as COVID ‘pseudo-expert’
Bill Gates, Harvard dropout, Microsoft founder, just slammed Scott Atlas, degreed biologist, degreed medical doctor, former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center -- that's Medical Center with a capital "M" -- as a, get this, "pseudo-expert" on the coronavirus. Hmm. One of these things is not like the other. Published October 26, 2020
Bernie Sanders as Joe Biden’s labor secretary would devastate America
God forbid, the whispers of Bernie Sanders as Joe Biden's secretary of Labor prove true. There would go America. A socialist in charge of America's workplace policy? Now there's a free market in rapid slide toward disintegration. Published October 24, 2020
Donald Trump’s COVID-19 strength versus Joe Biden’s fear
What America doesn't need right now is a White House leader who tiptoes gently around COVID-19 solutions, falling forever and ever on the side of caution -- which means, in medical speak, forever and ever to stay at home. On this, on COVID-19, Donald Trump brings strength versus Joe Biden, who cowers in fear. Published October 23, 2020
Kamala Harris clangs a communist gong
A vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is a vote for communism. There's no other way to paint it. Social justice? Economic justice? Climate justice? Economic justice? This is the language of communists. This is the rhetoric of communist revolutionaries trying to jumpstart an uprising against corrupt, mismanaged, tyrannical government. Published October 22, 2020
Endless campaigns are bad for America
Once upon a time, America's presidential elections came every four years, with campaign seasons that lasted the few months before the fated November date. Now, they're endless. As soon as Election Day cometh, the next White House race dawneth. The overarching effect is a population kept in a constant state of political anxiety. Published October 22, 2020
Frank Luntz, pollster, moans of Trump’s ‘heads up their a——’ campaign team
Political pollster Frank Luntz said President Donald Trump's reelection campaign advisers have "their heads up their a----" and ought to be "brought up on charges of political malpractice," according to a report in The Hill. Isn't this the same Frank Luntz who apologized profusely in 2018 for underestimating Trump's ability to lead? Published October 21, 2020
Google, prepare to be cowed
In what will surely go down in Big Tech history as an "about time" moment for censor-weary Americans, the U.S. Justice Department filed a suit against Google, accusing the online giant of antitrust violations. Google, prepare to be cowed. At least a little bit. Published October 20, 2020
Christmas with the Joe Biden cranks
President Donald Trump said in a rally over the weekend that if Joe Biden wins the White House, be prepared for a canceled Christmas season. That's the truth. Christmas -- and beyond. Published October 20, 2020
America the great: 14 days, 14 states, optimism abounds
It's easy to become jaded about America. It's easy to sit at home, listen to the news, watch the candidates duke it out, hear as the pundits bicker, moan and groan as the politicians do what politicians do -- politick -- and then think only the darkest of America's future. But go outside the bubble of bickering -- and it's a different world. Published October 19, 2020
Masked teens able to shoot vendor in anonymity
A street vendor in California was shot in the leg by a trio of teens who were able to escape identification and flee under cover of the medical face masks their state mandates they wear. How lucky for the criminals that face coverings are oh-so-demanded these days. Published October 19, 2020
