Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro said in an interview with The Hill that Joe Biden, in conjunction with the current hot protest climate, represents the best chance Democrats have seen in a generation to enact significant reform, and in particular, racial justice reforms.

China is killing America

A handful of conservatives just asked President Donald Trump to keep in place a Roadless Rule that prevents loggers from tapping into Alaska's Tongass National Forest. At first blush, this seems an environmental issue. But it's really a question about China and at what point America puts a stop to communist influences on U.S. soil. Published July 23, 2020

Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Massachusetts Democrat and noted fourth in a socialist "squad" that includes fellow congressional members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, has just called for the outright cancellation of all forms of major debt.

God save America (only God can save America)

The prevailing rule of thought in America is that the Second Amendment is the civil liberty right that underscores and preserves all the others. There's truth to that. But the Second Amendment won't help with this COVID-19 madness. Published July 21, 2020

America, it’s happening: Government is jailing COVID-19 patients at home

A Kentucky woman who tested positive for COVID-19 was ordered by health bureaucrats to stay at home -- and shackled with an ankle monitor to make she sure does. It's happening, America. Wake up and smell the contact tracing, the "new normal" that allows government to demand citizens "voluntarily" self-quarantine. Or else. Published July 20, 2020

Joe Biden is America’s worst-case puppet

Joe Biden's campaign includes a manager, several press spokespeople, a couple of pollsters -- and a dedicated batch of young engineering interns whose sole mission is to devise clever wooden props that can secretly, behind the scope of the camera's eyes, keep his teetering and tottering to a minimum. That's to say: Biden is a puppet. Published July 18, 2020

Donald Trump is the wall against anti-American globalism

If President Donald Trump doesn't win this November, and former Vice President Joe Biden takes over the White House, then it's goodbye America, hello globalism. Goodbye America, hello new world order. It doesn't get any clearer than that. Published July 9, 2020

This Nov. 17, 2019, file photo shows Kanye West on stage during a service at Lakewood Church in Houston. The government's small business lending program has benefited millions of companies, with the goal of minimizing the number of layoffs Americans have suffered in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. Yet the recipients include many you probably wouldn't have expected. West’s clothing-and-sneaker brand Yeezy received a loan of between $2 million and $5 million, according to the data released by Treasury. The company employed 106 people in mid-February before the pandemic struck. (AP Photo/Michael Wyke, File)

Kanye West and the great PPP bamboozle

Kanye West is a billionaire -- and not the quiet kind. The loud, look-at-me, I've got a billion bucks to my name kind. The bragging, boasting, I-just-confirmed-a-deal-for-a mega-mansion-in-Wyoming kind. He's also the recipient of a multimillion dollar taxpayer-funded PPP business loan. Call it the great PPP bamboozle. Published July 8, 2020

DeSean Jackson’s anti-Semitic posts show troubling double standard

Philadelphia Eagles' wide receiver DeSean Jackson went on social media and posted some outrageous anti-Semitic comments attributed to Adolph Hitler and the response from the collective in the left-leaning media and activist and political worlds was: yawn. Oh Democrats, thy name is hypocrisy. Where is the loud leftist calls for apology? Published July 7, 2020

Scientists long ago exhausted their COVID-19 capital

Hundreds of scientists have joined forces and penned a letter to the World Health Organization chiefs to get an official, authoritative ruling that the new coronavirus is airborne, meaning transmitted by breathing contaminated air. Well, ba dum dum on that. Salt, meet grain. Why should we listen to these charlatans any longer? Published July 7, 2020

Donald Trump’s garden of heroes good — but civics class is better

Socialism and secularism linked at the choke point

As former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn noted in an excellent op-ed: It's a battle of principalities taking place out there, all right, and the sooner freedom-loving Americans recognize these "dark forces" as the true enemy, the sooner freedom-loving Americans can get on with the business of winning back the country.
