Founding Fathers rolling in graves at the COVID-19 constitutional crisis

The Founders would be shocked to see America, circa COVID-19 2020. In fact, they're probably rolling in their graves right now, watching the Constitution they so carefully created -- with regard for individual rights as bestowed by God, not government -- being crushed by a hammer of coronavirus fears. Especially on fears that are so far misplaced. Published April 25, 2020

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the "I am zee law!" lady of American politics, is poised to lose some of her powers, as legislators say they're going to intervene and vote and reel her in a bit.

Coronavirus and the smell of Saul Alinsky

Coronavirus, at its root, is being used as a tool for those with devilish designs to establish a new order, a new un-American, unconstitutional and unfree kingdom -- and that is the end game, like it or not.

Civil disobedience can end the coronavirus stupidity

The happiest news to emerge in recent coronavirus weeks comes courtesy of videos showing the good citizens of Michigan, fed up with their tyrannical governor, taking to the streets in mass -- and maskless! -- to demand an end to the tyranny.

Anthony Fauci has a mad scientist vision to track, surveil American citizens

Anthony Fauci, on coronavirus, wants to implement a "contact tracing" program in America that will in effect set the stage for government to surveil its citizens.

Coronavirus masks turning Americans into good Asian comrades
