Democrats tee up their next impeachment cause

Karl Marx quoted at Oscars — and it’s not even surprising

We always knew those on the left, particularly the scholarly, intellectual, high-brow elitist of the left, were in love with Karl Marx. And Vladimir Lenin. And Benito Mussolini. And Joseph Stalin. And Che Guevara. And the like. They're just becoming more open about it Published February 10, 2020

National Prayer Breakfast reveals a great evil of the left

President Donald Trump created quite a media stir when he stood at the National Prayer Breakfast podium and, in response to keynote speaker Arthur Brooks' call to love thy enemies and leave behind thy contempt, said he saw things a bit differently -- that it was rather difficult to swallow the bitter bites of fabricated impeachment pushes with a simple shrug and "oh well" hug. Well, Trump is right. Love does not mean tolerance of evil. Published February 7, 2020

Democrats, at the State of the Union, had the perfect opportunity to show their above-the-fray sides and prove that when it comes to politicking, their primary interests are country and Constitution, first; individual citizen second; self, third -- if at all. But they blew it. They showed themselves once again as unworthy of their titles. Published February 6, 2020

Nancy Pelosi, in ripping SOTU speech, disdains all America, not just Donald Trump

Make no mistake about it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's dramatic State of the Union speech-ripping performance wasn't aimed just at the president. It was a show of disdain for all the president's supporters -- for all of patriotic America. For all the deplorables out there she hasn't been able to control and conquer. Published February 5, 2020

‘Cuba sucks’: Reflections on socialism, behind the curtain

A team of Turning Point USA producers took a trip to Cuba to peer behind the glitzy social media photos that show a nation of happy, happy, joy, joy citizens -- and came home to America with a stiff, stern warning for Bernie Sanders' fans and socialist wannabes that went, bluntly, like this: Don't bring the bleak to America.

Bernie Sanders, the socialist POTUS? Better believe it

A couple of decades ago, the idea of a Bernie Sanders socialist as president of the United States was unthinkable. Now, here he stands, chugging up the poll numbers, climbing up the primary ranks, scooping up the millennial love. What's changed? Much, but mostly, morals and faith. Published February 4, 2020

Super Bowl steamy halftime show not amusing

Family friendly has taken a turn toward the pornographic in this country. And apparently, America is loving it. America, minus the parents trying to raise their children with godly values and virtues, is loving it. What happened to class. What happened to talent. What happened to singing without a stripper pole. Published February 3, 2020

Impeachment trial in a John 16 era

America was built on a foundation of Judeo-Christian principles, rooted on virtues and morals and values taken straight out of the Bible -- and here we are, circa 2020, watching what has to be one of the most vicious take-downs of a president in U.S. history. Biblically speaking, for sure, we're living in John 16 times. Published January 30, 2020

New Jersey, latest pro-Trump hot spot, voted for Hillary Clinton by 14 points in 2016

What's remarkable about President Donald Trump's New Jersey speech is the massive throng that gathered. This is a state that voted big for Hillary Clinton in 2016. And this is a time that Trump is supposed to be at his lowest point, facing his darkest days: impeachment and ousting. You'd think he'd be shunned, not showered with love. Published January 29, 2020

Socialists like Bernie Sanders cash in big on ignorance

Socialism simply thrives on ignorance. It's the primary means that it's woven into the fabric of U.S. society and government. Socialists wouldn't have a following if today's youth were properly educated on American Exceptionalism and on U.S. history. Published January 28, 2020
