Natural immunity proves better than COVID shots. No duh

A new coronavirus study from Estonia involving a pool of 329,496 adults found -- in the words of one researcher -- "natural immunity offers stronger and longer-lasting protection against infection, symptoms and hospitalization" than COVID shots. Umm. Du'oh. No duh. We've known that for some time.

President Joe Biden walks along the Colonnade towards the Oval Office after pardoning the national Thanksgiving turkeys, Liberty and Bell, during a ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, Monday, Nov. 20, 2023. Biden celebrated his 81st birthday on Monday by joking repeatedly about his advanced age. At the same time, the White House is strongly defending his stamina and playing down polling, suggesting that the issue could cost him votes during next year’s election. Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik)

Bold & Blunt: Shadow surveillance exists

If you think the government of the United States is constrained by the Constitution and would never, no, never, conduct unwarranted surveillance operations against free and innocent American people, think again.

Kamala Harris finally acknowledges what we all know: Biden is an epic fail

Vice President Kamala Harris, in an interview with CNN, acknowledged that President Biden's polling numbers aren't good and that "there's no doubt about it," a second term for this POTUS is far from guaranteed. Thanks, Captain Obvious. Stay tuned for next week's interview as Harris discusses rumors of an open border.

Bold & Blunt video: Two-state solution a myth

As Gol Kalev, the author of Judaism 3.0 and a Jerusalem Post columnist living in Israel, said: A two-state solution where Palestinians and Israelis live side by side in peace and prosperity is impossible when Hamas, the duly elected governing structure in Gaza, wants to eradicate the Jewish people.

Justice Arthur Engoron presides over Donald Trump Jr.'s testimony in his family's civil fraud case at the New York State Supreme Court on Monday, Nov. 13, 2023 in New York. (Erin Schaf/Pool Photo via AP)

Donald Trump’s trial by kangaroo is dangerous for all Americans

Judge Engoron has gone off the deep end with his issuance of gag orders and sanctions over violations of gag orders against Trump. First Amendment? Freedom of speech? Engoron is one step from stuffing Trump in a cage and putting him in a corner of the courtroom, a la Russia style.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene, R-Ga., arrives on Capitol Hill in Washington, Oct. 24, 2023. A federal judge rejected Taylor Greene’s request to have an upstate New York man convicted of sending her threatening voicemails pay $65,000 for her Georgia home’s security fence. Joseph Morelli pleaded guilty in February to threatening the Republican congresswoman in several calls in 2022 to her Washington, D.C., office. He was sentenced to three months in prison in August. Lawyers for the government argued that Greene’s security expenses stemmed from the threats. But U.S. District Judge Brenda Kay Sannes denied the request in a ruling Tuesday, Nov. 14 saying Greene did not suffer a property loss. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, file)

Bold & Blunt: Alejandro Mayorkas must go

In recent congressional testimony, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene held up a photo of an elderly couple who were killed by a 17-year-old illegal and asked Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to respond -- and he did. He went stone cold.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, on Israel, gets one right

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is Jewish -- his family is Jewish, from western Ukraine -- but he's a Democrat who's moved further and further left, ideologically speaking, as his political career has progressed. Yet on the terror attack on Israel, even he pushed aside his politics to call out evil

Bold and Blunt: Voter suppression a big Democrat lie

Democrats have been resisting the idea of voter reform for decades -- specifically, any idea that tightens security and cleans up ballot lists and bolsters integrity. And they label any Republicans who try to secure America's elections as racists who advocate a return of Jim Crow laws.

Bold & Blunt: Morals increasingly don’t matter to Americans

Recent polling combined with the votes for abortion and recreational marijuana in Ohio show that the moral decline of America is on a fast-track, and if politics are downstream from culture, the threat to individual liberties is massive.

People wear face masks as they walk outside in the smoke-filled air in Herald Square, June. 7, 2023, in New York. More Americans believe they've personally felt the impact of climate change because of recent extreme weather according to new polling from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. (AP Photo/Yuki Iwamura, File)

Face mask mandates persist, despite stupidity, for Marxist strategy

A very smart 15-year-old said amid the coronavirus lockdowns in America that face masking is like a small child hiding beneath a blanket as protection against a monster in the closet. In other words: Good luck with that. And yet this, from MSN : "Bay Area reinstates COVID mask orders in healthcare settings."

Issue 1 supporters cheer as they watch election results come in, Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023, in Columbus Ohio. Ohio voters have approved a constitutional amendment that guarantees the right to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care. The outcome of Tuesday’s intense, off-year election was the latest blow for abortion opponents. (AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki)

Ohio: Abortion and weed and immorality, oh my

Ohio voters gave the thumbs-up to abortion as a state constitutional right and to recreational marijuana. On values, the heartland has shifted. And it ain't for the good.

President Joe Biden responds to a question from a journalist as he leaves St. Edmond's Roman Catholic Church in Rehoboth Beach, Del., after attending Mass, Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023.

Trump, with all his indictments, still beats bumbling Biden

A brand new poll from The New York Times and Siena College shows Donald Trump beating Joe Biden for the race for the presidency in five of six battleground states, with leads between 3 and 10 percentage points. Yes. That's how bad Biden really is.
