Pandering to the pretensions of Black Lives Matter overlords

Slavery is a disgusting, despicable, horrific, soul-destroying aberration of God's will for humankind -- and, sadly, a terrible and tragic historical truth of American past. But America and all that America offers is still the best deal in the world. Published June 20, 2020

Tulsa ‘civil emergency’ bolsters Democrat playbook for politics: Mayhem

Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the lead-up to President Trump's rally, has declared a "civil emergency" due to fears of "extremely violent" protesters taking to the streets, bringing all their coronavirus-ey germs and stuff with them. This is how Democrats plan to win the White House--by intimidation, squelching free speech and aggression. Published June 19, 2020

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that “the extent to which that power matters for purposes of the First Amendment and the extent to which that power could lawfully be modified raise interesting and important questions.” (AP Photo/John Amis, File)

Justice Clarence Thomas’ warning of SCOTUS politicization a case of too little, too late

The U.S. Supreme Court just voted to uphold the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals programs, or DACA, put in place by Barack Obama and rolled back by President Donald Trump -- and Justice Clarence Thomas, in a dissent, issued a stern warning against the future politicization of the court. Wise words. But too little, too late. Published June 19, 2020

COVID-19 great for growing billionaire pockets

Civil war looms, statistics and survey say

Almost a third of U.S. voters believe a civil war is on its way -- a bleak commentary on the growing tensions around the country due to coronavirus shutdowns and police policies that have manifested in destruction and defacement of historical monuments and memorials, anarchist takeovers of city streets and riotous uprisings.

Donald Trump to Michael Savage: ‘This will be rigged election’ if Dems have way

President Donald Trump told talk radio's Michael Savage that if Democrats have their way, the November election will be "rigged," and that it's up to courts and citizens to stave off leftist pressures for massive mail-in voting. Democrats have indeed been on a tear to use the coronavirus as justification for launching mail-in voting rights. Published June 16, 2020

Doctors drop ball, prove why they’re untrustworthy on COVID-19

Apparently, doctors have dropped the ball. They've been so busily fighting COVID-19, and telling a nation, nay a world, how to best fight COVID-19, that they've taken their eyes off other diseases. And now children are dying, or predicted to die, because of their incompetence. Published June 16, 2020

Trump haters stupidly seize on #RampGate as next drum to beat

The left wants to harp on President Donald Trump's physical fitness? Not Joe Biden's? Not Joe Biden in his basement, propped and steadied by God knows how many helpful hands beyond the camera lens as he stumbles and bumbles through one question after another? The left embarrasses itself. Published June 15, 2020

People walk past street art that reads "Welcome to CHAZ," Thursday, June 11, 2020, inside what is being called the "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone" in Seattle. Following days of violent confrontations with protesters, police in Seattle have largely withdrawn from the neighborhood, and protesters have created a festival-like scene that has President Donald Trump fuming.

Seattle anarchists and their lunatic fringe list of demands

These are not your peace-talking, peaceful-walking Martin Luther King, Jr., protesters. These are armed rebels, bent on toppling societal structures in order to usher in a new nation, one where chaos rules, lawlessness leads and anger feeds. And their list of demands only underscores their lunatic ways. Published June 12, 2020

Joe Biden is Barack Obama’s real-life ‘Pajama Boy’

Here's a thought: If you can campaign for president of the United States from the comfort of your own home, while wearing pajamas -- you're doing it wrong. Joe Biden might want to take a memo on that. Published June 11, 2020

CNN's Chris Cuomo told The New York Times on July 5, 2017, that he is "comfortable going to work in Thunderdome every day," a reference to the 1985 movie "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome," starring Mel Gibson. (Warner Bros.)

Seattle’s ‘autonomous zone’ is ‘Mad Max’ movie mayhem come alive

In the late 1970s, a series of action movies starring Mel Gibson showed what life in Australia would be like when the inmates, so to speak, take over the asylum and societal standards of behavior utterly collapse, and motorcycle gang members with zero moral bearings are unleashed on the public. That's Seattle, circa 2020. Published June 11, 2020

Sen. Josh Hawley and his righteous stand for religious rights

Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley petitioned the Justice Department to launch a civil rights investigation into governors who use the coronavirus as a lynchpin to keep worshippers home. In short, he wants to know: How come Black Lives Matter can fill the streets, but church-goers have to stay home? Good question. Published June 10, 2020

God’s winnowing of America

Sane people are surveying America and wondering, what's happened to this country? Call this God's winnowing of America -- a time when He takes a look at His people, decides He doesn't like what He sees and allows for a time of great testing to separate the good from evil, the worthwhile from worthless, the usable from unusable.

Militarizing police was a mistake

Peer past the madness of Antifa thuggery and all the bricks being thrown through storefront windows right now and the fact is police have needed reform for some time. Even from a very pro-police, pro-law and order perspective, the fact is: Police have most definitely needed reform. Published June 8, 2020

Socialists, with George Floyd, get their anti-police wedge

Democrats know their time grows short

Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr., in a recent interview, said Democrats are making it easy for GOP-ers this November -- that a conservative sweep, due to COVID-19 crackdown madness and George Floyd-inspired out-of-control rioting, is in the works and too bad, so sad, but that's the way the liberal cookie crumbles. He's right. Published June 6, 2020
