Socialism’s sneaky verbiage
The left will do what it can to tear down normalcy and inject chaos into society, even to the point of redefining commonly accepted words and phrases, because that's a path to Big Government. That's a road toward total government control. That's a sneaky tool of socialists and collectivists and Marxists. Published October 17, 2020
Abortion’s sad, sorrowful defense
Fleetwood Mac singing sensation Stevie Nicks said in a recent conversation with a reporter from The Guardian that if she hadn't aborted the child she conceived with the Eagles' Don Henley, "there would have been no Fleetwood Mac" -- there would have been no music magic. But how does she know that for sure? Published October 16, 2020
Democrat mayor — gasp! — cuts taxes, admits he’s ‘capitalist’
Make way for the pink elephant. For the pig to fly. For the you know where to freeze. For the blue moon to blaze. For the four-leaf clover among the bed of three's. What's the deal? There's a Democrat who just said this: "I might have 'D' after my name, but I [also] have capital 'C' after my name -- capitalist." Published October 15, 2020
Jack Dorsey offers lame ‘clarity’ on blocking Hunter Biden bits
Twitter's Jack Dorsey, responded to the massive swell of outrage that came when his company blocked the New York Post and the White House's Kayleigh McEnany over a Hunter Biden report that put Joe Biden in a bad light with a tweet that acknowledged poor messaging. No d'oh. That's called a lame attempt to sideline criticisms. Published October 15, 2020
CDC needs to keep its COVID-19 nose out of Thanksgiving
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Robert Redfield just issued a quiet warning of possible COVID-19 case hikes during Thanksgiving festivities. Memo to CDC: Enough. Stay out of Thanksgiving. And don't even think of getting involved in Christmas. Published October 14, 2020
Ronald Reagan boyhood home faces tough coronavirus closure times

Media watchdogging, COVID-19 style: That Republican rubbed his nose!
A recent Mediaite headline ran this way: "Maskless Ron DeSantis High-Fives Attendees at Packed Trump Rally, Rubs His Nose With Hand." Is this really where we're at, America? At a place and time where a Republican who rubs his nose in public makes national news headlines? For, umm, rubbing his nose? Published October 13, 2020
Kentucky pastor: ‘A win for Joe Biden is a win for Marxism’
HIS church pastor Brian Gibson said in a sit-down interview in Owensboro, Kentucky, that if Joe Biden wins this November, and not Donald Trump, "it's the death of America" -- that "a Joe Biden win is a win for Marxism," he added. Ain't that the truth. Published October 12, 2020
Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci — blasted in coronavirus-weary Oklahoma
Oklahoma entrepreneur and podcaster Clay Clark has a bone to pick with Bill Gates. And it's one that goes like this: "I'm hoping to alert people to the idea that all [coronavirus] roads are leading to the gates of hell, a.k.a. Bill Gates, and his vaccines, which are nefarious, at best," he said. Published October 12, 2020
Christians with guns as American as apple pie
Jesus approves of righteous anger and self-defense. Being Christian doesn't mean being a docile victim. Train the children in the way they should go -- and they won't run wild in the streets, smashing storefront windows, shooting rival gang members, gunning down innocent bystanders and citizens.

Tea party alive and kicking in Nashville
Nashville has a thriving tea party presence -- thriving, kicking, storming strong and politically charged. More than 202,000 follow the Nashville Tea Party page. More than that followed the group on LinkedIn -- until they got booted, that is. Why? The usual reasons: for the crime of being conservative. Published October 11, 2020
Ioway tribesmen may be solution to what ails U.S. food security
One of President Donald Trump's signature messages in recent COVID-19 times has been to assure the American people that food -- access, supply and ability to buy -- would not be a problem, i.e., that food security would not be compromised. Well and good. But the Ioway tribesmen have been cutting edge on this issue for some time. Published October 8, 2020
Nebraska’s politically unique way of getting along
Nebraska is the only state in the nation with a unicameral legislature -- a zero party, zero partisanship House absent a Senate where bills are presented and debated absent the typical Republican versus Democrat bickering, then sent along to the governor for signing, or not. Founding Fathers would be proud. Published October 7, 2020

Coronavirus fears, politics block common sense: Kristi Noem
It's one thing for Americans to take simple, sane, sensible solutions to protect themselves from getting sick. It's another thing entirely to shut down an entire nation, an entire economy, entire school and church and business communities, all for -- fear? Fear mixed with politics. So says South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem anyway. Published October 6, 2020
Kristi Noem: ‘We are best served by leaders that know their place’
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, in a sit-down interview in her official offices, said the flare-up of violence around the nation is "astounding" and comes from "poor leadership" -- and "overwhelmingly, these are Democrat-led communities." Precisely. That's the nugget of political truth the mainstream media wants voters to avoid seeing. Published October 5, 2020
Pipestone: A small Minnesota town with massive American spirit
Pipestone is a small town with a massive American spirit. And in this day and age of hate-filled politics, partisan punditry and vicious attacks in the streets masquerading as First Amendment peaceful protests, it's a breath of fresh air to find people who not only love America, but actively live out American values.

Iowa’s six electoral votes a total toss-up
In Iowa, even the corn fields have corn fields. But that doesn't mean voters care only about agricultural issues. Quite the contrary, in fact. Published October 2, 2020
Coronavirus backlash builds as politics of virus becomes evident
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker just ordered a new wave of COVID-19 restrictions on restaurants in certain counties. In certain Region 1 counties. In certain Republican-voting counties, that is. And that is raising some interesting questions among business owners and medical professionals alike who wonder: Is it the virus, or politics? Published October 2, 2020
South Bend, Indiana, is one strange electoral animal
Twenty-to-one. That's the ratio of Donald Trump to Joe Biden campaign signs that can be seen while driving the northern country roads of Pennsylvania and Ohio into Indiana. And that's being generous. To Biden. In some places, for some seemingly endlessly long stretches of time and roadway, the ratio was more like 30:1. Published September 30, 2020
