Democrats are the greatest thing the devil ever invented

Sarafina Chitika, a spokesperson for the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket, accused Donald Trump of allowing Louisiana women to bleed to death because of his fights involving Roe v. Wade. Democrats have become so brazenly open with their ugly, lying language that they're actually making the devil envious.

COVID funding fraud a prime example of why handouts fail

Whenever government gets involved in taking tax dollars from one to give to another, the system goes bust. Government is not just a lousy manager of money. Government is totally unconcerned about its lousy money management skills because the members of government are too busy using that money to buy up votes.

Bold & Blunt: The battle for truth heats as election draws close

It's not enough for voters to watch, read or listen to news to tell which is the better political candidate. Today's voters have to be discerning to tell the truth versus lies of the many deceptions Democrats push. Kamala Harris is being created, as we speak.

The hilarious stupidity of Democrat voters

So much material; so little time. So many Democrats; so little IQ. The somber part is this: After nearly four years of a brain-dead president, the best that Democrats have to offer is -- more of the same? Yes, it's absurd. But it's also a national security issue and an international threat.

RINOs with TDS stampede to Harris’ side

More than 200 staffers and aides for the GOP rushed to send out a letter endorsing Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump, for president. Two hundred! Well, hell's bells. This is the part where Trump is probably supposed to bite his fingernails in fright and run like a little girl from the campaign trail -- right?

Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders admits ‘crisis at the border’

Sen. Bernie Sanders, a socialist who dabbles with the independents and Democrats -- wherever the votes are, there he goes -- said during a recent interview on ABC that there is a "crisis at the border." And this is interesting because socialists generally love open borders.

RFK Jr. fixes Trump’s one weak spot

Trump's one big weakness with some in the conservative camp was his COVID response. RFK's one big strength with most in the conservative camp was his COVID response. Their alliance is a meeting of mighty forces.

Harris, the ‘president of joy?’ There’s no joy in Dem-ville

Choose the "president of joy," Bill Clinton said, from the Democrats' convention stage, telling voters to pick Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump. What a rebrand. File it under the famous Joseph Goebbels quote about repeating a lie often enough so that it becomes accepted as truth. This is classic Democrat propaganda.

Democrats at DNC cry ‘freedom!’ — but mean ‘control’

An interesting thing happened on the way to the formal nomination of Kamala Harris as the Democrat Party's pick for president -- namely, the DNC made a play for conservatives' bread and butter by scooping up the rallying call, "Freedom!" Gentlemen, start your gaslit engines.

DNC hoopla distracts from Democrats’ lies on economy, jobs

The big news out of Chicago is that Kamala Harris won the necessary number of votes to make her party's coup against Joe Biden valid and to formally usher her into the picture as the genuine Democrat Party pick for president. The big news to the rest of us is a million jobs just disappeared overnight.

Democrat-run public schools on display with lunatic DNC protesters

Pro-Palestinian -- pro-Hamas! -- protesters-slash-agitators flooded the outskirts of the Democrat National Convention, demanding Democrats stop supporting Israel; legalize all the illegals; open borders wider for more; legalize abortion-on-demand, yada, yada. Welcome to the world of Democrat-run public education.

Democrats kick off convention with typical, mind-blowing hypocrisy

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has called to standby status about 150 members of the Illinois National Guard to assist the already sizable police presence -- including those from departments outside Chicago -- on hand to handle the expected crowds, protesters and agitators at this week's Democrat National Convention. It's good to be a Democrat politician. They get all the security. Just ask Donald Trump.

Confucius say: Democrats are right to hide Harris

That's her particular brand of politicking: spouting off absent care or concern of content -- all the intellectualism of a Chinese fortune in a cookie. Confucius say; Kamala say. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Democrats have it right by keeping her as quiet as possible

Harris takes page from communist Cuba’s playbook with war on prices

Kamala Harris has announced a war on prices that calls out companies for raising prices and that promises her White House will stop companies from raising prices. Well, at least she's acknowledging the economy that she and President Biden created sucks. But her fix isn't a fix. It's akin to what Cuba just did.

Bold & Blunt: Success 101: How to make winning recession-proof

Self-improvement is a multi-billion dollar business in America, and there's a reason for that: People are largely dissatisfied with their levels of success in life, and they want to improve. There are several key characteristics shared by successful people. But it's probably not what you think.

COVID consequences: Childhood vaccines fall from parental favor

Fewer Americans today see the importance of childhood vaccines, with the most dramatic declines in parental approvals of the normal vaccine schedule for newborns through 18-year-olds taking place after 2019 -- in the post-COVID, shot-pushing years. Good. It's about time for a return to the suspicions over mandates.

Colin Kaepernick who?

Colin Kaepernick, of national-anthem-hating, take-the-knee, pig-socks-wearing fame, says he's ready to lead an NFL team, any NFL team, any ol' NFL team that'll give him a chance -- to victory -- capital V for Victory! -- to Super Bowl victory! What a guy. And all the NFL owners go: Who? At least, they should.
