California county touts socialist cash giveaway to get COVID-19ers to stay home
A county in California, Alameda, to be exact, is planning to hand out checks in the amount of $1,250 for lower-income residents who test positive for COVID-19 as an incentive to get them to stay home. Hmm. Let's see. What could possibly go wrong there? It's welfare dressed as coronavirus relief. Published August 7, 2020
John Roberts ‘anti-Trump,’ says SCOTUS insider
Carrie Severino, a former Supreme Court clerk who now heads up the Judicial Crisis Network and who helped pen a bestselling book on the takedown of Brett Kavanaugh, said on "Fox & Friends" that Vice President Mike Pence is right to criticize the chief justice because, by all appearances, John Roberts seems decidedly "anti-Trump."

America’s closed schools will widen haves, have-nots gap
What of the vulnerable children of the country who don't have instant Wi-Fi access, who don't have computers at their fingertips, who don't have family lives that correspond well with at-home and virtual learning? Published August 6, 2020
Virginia leaps into contact tracing technology
Virginia has become the first state in the nation to offer for download a contact tracing Apple and Google API app aimed at stopping and slowing the spread of the coronavirus. And so it begins: One of modern government's cleverest means of tracking and surveilling its people, and all for the good health of the people, to boot. Published August 6, 2020
CDC floats next health scare, post-coronavirus
Just in time for the new school year, virtual as it may be, comes a new warning of a new fright for parents to deal with, and more likely than not, wait for it, wait for it, for government to cite as justification to keep schools closed, and maybe even churches and more -- and it's one that goes like this: Acute flaccid myelitis.

Susan Rice, VP contender, wants to ‘re-imagine’ away the police
Susan Rice, former national security adviser and potential Joe Biden vice president pick, said police need a massive "re-imaging" -- meaning, a total rework. Meaning, a total reshaping. Meaning, a total collapse. "Re-imagining" is code for watering law enforcement to the point where they're no longer law enforcement. Published August 5, 2020
Democrats use fear to control and dominate
A new poll from Gallup shows that 85% of American parents who identify as Democrats worry their children will contract COVID-19, but only 29% of those who say they're Republican express similar concerns. That's about right. Democrats, by nature, are fear-filled scaremongers. Published August 4, 2020
Americans’ crazy fight for the basic right to work
The Declaration of Independence promises citizens life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and that's pretty much what many in America are doing each day as they head to work -- exercising their rights to provide for self and family, for both needs and wants, absent government intervention. Then came the coronavirus pandemic. Published August 4, 2020
Donald Trump defies naysayers and beats Barack Obama poll numbers
The poll numbers are in and contrary to what the left will tell, President Donald Trump is finding high favor with the majority of U.S. voters. By the numbers: 51% of likely U.S. voters say they approve of Trump's job performance. That's according to Rasmussen. Published August 3, 2020
Democrats use COVID-19 unemployment to buy votes
Democrats want the next round of coronavirus stimulus dollars to extend the $600 unemployment insurance enhancement for those who lost their jobs or who faced mandated furloughs because of economic shutdowns. Republicans say no. But Democrats want that money to buy votes for their subpar candidate, Joe Biden, this fall. Published August 3, 2020
America can’t be moral without God
This country is in a free-fall of cultural rot and moral decay. And how the culture goes, so, too, the politics. Which is why Pew Research Center's latest "Global God Divide" finding that only 44% of Americans think they need the heavenly Creator to shape their morals and values is so illuminating.

Rep. Jim Jordan hammers Anthony Fauci for favoritism in COVID-19 science
Rep. Jim Jordan asked NIAID Director Anthony Fauci a dozen different ways and a dozen different times to explain why angry protesters could safely gather but peaceful church-goers could not -- and a dozen different ways, a dozen different times, the doctor dodged. And that is why the American people do not trust the COVID-19 crackdowns. Published July 31, 2020
McDonald’s can take new call-cops-on-customers policy, and shove it
McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski, in an interview on CBS, said customers who don't wear face masks inside the restaurant risk having police called to arrest them. And then he did that old Marxist propaganda thing and said for safety's sake, "we also ask our customers to wear masks." Screw McDonald's. Published July 31, 2020
Teachers’ unions shamefully exploit COVID-19 to shutter schools
Public schools in the District of Columbia just announced that all students will be doing the stay-at-home virtual study thing when the year begins. D.C. is not alone in this. For shame. These virtual classes have virtually nothing to do with protecting from the coronavirus and everything to do with scoring wins for the teachers' unions. Published July 30, 2020
Anthony Fauci, citing ‘mucosa,’ now wants goggles, face shields
Give Dr. Anthony Fauci an inch and he'll take a mile. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases now wants to stick Americans in goggles and shields, in addition to the face masks. What's next, Mission Oriented Protective Posture Gear -- better known by its chemical weapons warfare acronym, MOPP gear? Why not. Published July 30, 2020
Florida face mask hell a chilling warning for America
Florida's got a problem with face masks -- and it's one that is terrorizing citizens, sending them to jail, stripping them of their most basic civil, human rights. For face masks. For failing or refusing to wear face masks. Has America gone mad? Published July 30, 2020
Twitter, Facebook, YouTube desperate to kill countering coronavirus thought
President Donald Trump shared critical tweets about Anthony Fauci and his truth-telling of the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine to help cure the coronavirus -- and the censors on social media responded by removing his posts. Anyone who thinks freedom of speech still stands strong in this nation -- take note: It does not. Published July 28, 2020
COVID-19 sheep and their absurd ‘no shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service’ bleats
Anyone who's been following the mass face masking movement knows one of the biggest back-talks from those who wear against those who don't goes like this: What's the difference between "no shirt, no shoes, no service" and "no face mask, no service?" Wrong question. And first off, shirts and shoes aren't even laws. Published July 28, 2020
Chief Justice John Roberts is a shameful secular shill
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joined with the liberal wing of the Supreme Court to rule, in essence, that casinos and restaurants have more freedom to operate than churches -- an astonishing unconstitutional and un-American finding, given the roots of this nation as one conceived in the quest for religious freedom.

Health bureaucrats have crippled America
Look around. America the free is America the stifled. And what's perhaps the saddest about this reality is the stifling has come not by law, not by ordinance, not by duly passed legislation by duly elected officials -- but by the whims and wishes of unelected, largely unaccountable medical bureaucrats.
