Biden and his feckless two-state push onto Israel

President Biden is growing impatient with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's refusal to consider a two-state solution as a bargaining chip with Palestinians to end the war against Hamas -- and that shows this White House's utter refusal to see the realities of the evils confronting the Jewish state.

The sin and socialism of Biden’s college loan forgiveness

If at first socialists don't succeed, they certainly will try, try again. Because nothing says socialism like taking tax dollars and giving to those deemed deserving by government. Nothing says socialist like bureaucrats who redistribute from hard-working Peter to pay lazy, bottom-feeder Paul.

Eric Holder, Obama wingman, moans Trump will end ‘democracy’

Eric H. Holder Jr., former attorney general of the United States during Barack Obama's presidency, took to MSNBC on "The Reid Out" to complain that if Donald Trump is elected in 2024, "democracy could end." Good. Because America is a republic, not a democracy.

Davos and the great ‘Disease X’ deception

Davos bureaucrats say the world needs to be prepared for the next pandemic -- and what they mean by that, of course, is that the world's governments need to hurry up and hand the elites in the global bodies all the power to declare, monitor, surveil and dictate all-things-next-pandemic.

Davos survey: CEOs planning big AI move to fire humans

Twenty-five percent of CEOs attending the World Economic Forum's latest gathering in Davos, Switzerland, say they are planning to cut their human workforce by at least 5 percent and use artificial intelligence to fill their roles. Make way for the wave of corporate communism.

Race card and religion: The Hail Mary for desperate Dems

Religion and race cards: These are the things Democrats cling to when they have nothing to say that's truthful. How else to explain Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her church speech to call out her attackers as racist?

Afghan girls lashed for lack of hijab: Yay, Joe Biden

Taliban terrorists swept through Kabul, arresting girls as young as 16 for violating hijab mandates, labeling them "infidels" and in some cases, lashing them on their legs and feet. Another check in the foreign policy "fail" column of this president, Joe Biden.

Anthony Fauci and the dangers of science over God

Anthony Fauci said in closed-door House panel testimony that the social distance requirement of six feet that marked much of the Covid years -- and in some instances, still exists -- is unscientific, random, and "sort of just appeared" on the political and cultural scenes. In other words: He admitted he furthered a lie.

‘MagicMirror,’ an AI doctor for a growing secular era

Look into the mirror and learn: Are you sick? NuraLogix debuted at CES 2024 its Anura MagicMirror, an artificial intelligence-driven creation that scans the face and determines the health of the user, even into the future. As with all-things-AI, the potential for harm is right around the corner from the intended good.

Hunter and Mayorkas and Fani, oh my

Hunter Biden's curious art sales have reaped the kind of financial reward normally seen only in dead painters, and only in the good ones, neither category of which applies in this instance. Hello, buyer, meet Uncle Joe! Add to that a host of other Dem scandals and it's clear: The Democratic Party is in shambles.

Bold & Blunt: Mail-in voting in 2020 marked by massive fraud

One-in-five voters who mailed in their ballots in 2020 admit they committed fraud. That's according to a new survey from The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports. Holy cow. A large enough percentage that Donald Trump has a point -- that he won the election? Yes, says one. Tune in for more.

Republicans must fight harder to bar mail-in balloting

A new survey from The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports found that roughly 20 percent of voters who mailed in ballots for the 2020 political races committed some sort of election fraud. The takeaway is to ban mail-in voting except in the most extreme and necessary of circumstances.

Trump a victim of Democrat tyrants

The point with Democrats is that Donald Trump must be kept out of the White House no matter the means, no matter the strategies.
