The standard is the Constitution
The Democratic Party has been corrupted by socialist influences -- no doubt about that. But what's interesting is a) the Democrats brought this on themselves and b) the fact that they did has made all of America focus on the debate between democratic socialism, versus socialism, versus communism, versus whatever. We need not, however. Published February 27, 2020
Donald Trump would ‘KO’ Bernie Sanders, says Rasmussen
In a Rasmussen kind of world, in a Rasmussen kind of scenario, President Donald Trump would crush Sen. Bernie Sanders in a race for the White House if elections were held today. Two thumbs up to the man in the MAGA hat. Published February 26, 2020
Bernie Sanders stumbles on ‘authoritarian’ socialism
Even Van Jones couldn't believe Sen. Bernie Sanders didn't do a better job on the Democratic debate stage with the "socialism question" and explaining why the particular brand he favors won't lead to, well, death. Honestly, that's 'cause he can't. Socialism is to America like a square peg is to a round hole. Published February 26, 2020
Bernie Sanders should have been stopped in 1981
Sen. Bernie Sanders is the Democrats' front-runner, and the fact he's an open socialist -- hidden communist -- is the clanging of the gong, the sounding of the alarms, that this country, this land of the free, is one batch of votes from becoming the land of the lost. The fact is Sanders never should have held public office in the first place. Published February 25, 2020
Bernie Sanders admits he hasn’t a clue of the cost of his socialist stuff
In a "60 Minutes" interview with host Anderson Cooper, Sen. Bernie Sanders acknowledged that he's not yet put a "price tag" on much of the proposals he's pushed. That's kind of a big concern -- yes? So was his obvious inability to look Cooper in the eye while answering certain questions. Deceive much? It's the socialist way. Published February 24, 2020
America is in peril, with wolves prancing at the door
America stands at a crossroads. Freedom -- or not. If we can't trust our intel and law enforcement, whom can we trust? But more than that, America's government is in turmoil. America's culture is in a tailspin. Yet: Americans, if enough want, could put a sure stop to the prancing of the wolves at our door. Published February 22, 2020
Russia Collusion Two wafts into being
The New York Times just released a report about the intelligence community's concerns that Russia is winding into gear to reelect President Donald Trump this November. Make way for the Russia Collusion Two, same as the first: all lies, lots of impeachable possibilities. Published February 21, 2020
Richard Grenell critics ought to remember Leon Panetta
President Donald Trump has named Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, as the new acting director of national intelligence, and now the anti-Trumping faction is going nuts, claiming Grenell does not possess the necessary requirements to successfully serve in the position. Hmm. But Leon Panetta, ex-CIA chief, did? Published February 20, 2020
Democrats aghast at outing as communists
In Case You Missed It: The latest Democratic debate involved a bit of back-and-forth between Mike Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders about the perils of politicking in America on a communist platform -- and all the Democrats go, what's wrong with that? This is where the Democratic Party has gone: defending communism in America. Published February 20, 2020
Pete Buttigieg hardly a qualified keeper of the Christian key
Pete Buttigieg, in a CNN town hall, suggested Christians who support President Donald Trump aren't acting in accordance with the Christian faith. And then he kissed his gay "husband" and skipped off the set, exit, stage right. Not really. But you get the picture. Published February 20, 2020
William Barr target of ‘deep state,’ says Jason Chaffetz
The DOJ system is rigged: "Wrongdoing by every federal employee can be investigated by an Inspector General, except federal attorneys at the Justice Department," Rep. Jody Hice said. "There is no legitimate reason for federal prosecutors to be shielded from the IG." Published February 19, 2020
Michael Bloomberg does a George Soros and buys up law enforcement
Michael Bloomberg, according to various media reports, has been funding state attorney general offices and paying the salaries of key, politically liberal-leaning attorneys general -- a practice that gives all appearances of buying law enforcement on the local and state levels. And guess what: This is what George Soros does, too. Published February 18, 2020
Barack Obama is jealous of Donald Trump’s economy
Barack Obama, ex-prez, took to Twitter to try and claim that today's great economy is due to his 11-year-old policy -- suggesting, laughably, his White House is owed a big ol' thank you from President Donald Trump, from the business world, from America. Sorry, Mr. Obama, but to coin one of your own phrases: You didn't build that. Published February 18, 2020
Mike Bloomberg slips in left’s big pool of self-importance
Much ado has been made over Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg's condescending comments about farmers -- you know, the ones where he said in 2016 that he "could teach anybody" to "dig a hole," drop in a seed, cover with dirt, "add water" and voila, "up comes the corn." But really, this is how all Democrats think of conservatives. Published February 18, 2020
Joe Biden knows: South Carolina or bust
Joe Biden isn't exactly putting out the Closed, Gone Fishing sign on his political campaign. But even he's acknowledging, subtly and in not so many words, but entertaining the thought just the same, that his trail to the White House has been less than smooth and that South Carolina may prove the end of the line. Published February 17, 2020
William Barr’s tight spot and the red herring tweet
More than 1,100 ex-Department of Justice officials have signed a petition demanding Attorney General William Barr resign over his handling of the Roger Stone case. This isn't due to a presidential tweet. This was all part and parcel of the Democrats' next political plan. Published February 17, 2020
Sheriff: 16,000 ‘violent criminal aliens’ arrested in first 9 months of 2019
Democrats never do stand on the side of law and order, justice and righteousness, do they? In their minds, if law enforcement suffers physical harm because they're busily apprehending criminals -- well then, it's their own fault for doing the apprehensions. Published February 13, 2020
Democrats’ radicalism shielded by Bernie Sanders’ socialism
Democrats on the campaign trail are about as radical as they come -- about as socialist as they come; make no mistake about it. They get cover for their radicalism from Sen. Bernie Sanders, the open socialist. Published February 11, 2020
Democrats tee up their next impeachment cause
President Donald Trump, as presidents are wont to do, fired a White House staffer in whom he lost confidence -- namely, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. And now the left has its next impeachment cause: witness retaliation. Published February 11, 2020
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
