Face masks fight racism, pseudo-scientists now say

A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine based on research conducted by so-called scientists says universal face-masking of children in schools can help fight racism. Really. (Insert sarcasm here.)

Trump-Lake ticket a winning White House formula

Donald Trump is making another run for the White House. Kari Lake reportedly lost her race for the governor's office in Arizona. All's good in U.S. politics. A Lake loss means she's free and available and uncommitted -- and that makes her the perfect vice president pick for Trump.

Biden enabling communists everywhere he goes

President Joe Biden shook hands with President Xi Jinping in a luxury hotel resort in Indonesia -- after which ol' Joe showered so much love on the communist dictator-in-chief that the hallways filled with whispers of the proverbial "get a room" catcall. Not really. But just about.

Donald Trump is still the MAGA guy America needs

A leading debate among conservatives these days indeed is 2024 -- as in, choose: Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis. But let's not toss out the best America's had in years because of nervous nellies in the GOP getting upset, once again, at Trump's manner of speaking.

COP27 commies unleash war of ‘climate hell’

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres just said at the COP27 Climate Summit in Egypt: "We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator." Climate hell? This is rhetoric aimed at igniting a war.

Biden will have us all living like cavemen

President Biden just promised "no more drilling" -- a remark that came about a week after he vowed the next generation will be powered by wind. This guy, this president, this Biden presidency will have us living in caves and hunkering over fire pits for warmth.

Democrats are arrogant and elitist and don’t deserve to win

Why do Democrats continue to express their elitist and arrogant views so openly? So -- well, arrogantly? Good question. Here's the answer. They're not so much political pragmatics as true believers in themselves. They honestly cannot accept the idea that Joe Truck Driver is an equal.

White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain walks on the South Lawn of the White House after stepping off Marine One, May 1, 2022, in Washington. President Joe Biden’s chief of staff violated the law by retweeting a political message on his official Twitter account, but no disciplinary action will be pursued and a warning letter was sent to him, according to a memo from the Office of Special Counsel. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)

Ron Klain can take his ‘one final warning’ and stick it

White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain came out to defend President Biden's speech about so-called threats to American democracy by making this rather astonishing remark: Biden "decided a few days ago that it was important to issue one final warning on this issue." He can stick it.

Evangelicals pivot from abortion to economy

Christians said in a recent Barna survey said their top concern this midterm election season was the economy, not abortion, not religious freedom, not the morality crisis of U.S. culture. And that has some pining about the direction of America's spiritual compass. It's a valid point.

Biden vows ‘cooperation’ with Brazil’s far-left corrupt socialist

President Biden over the weekend sent out a message of congratulations to corrupt, socialist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva for beating Brazil's incumbent conservative president, Jair Bolsonaro, in a widely watched election. This is how radical America's Democrats have become.

Devil goes down to Georgia

Barack Obama went down to Georgia, looking for some votes for Democrats. Looking for some souls to steal. 'Cause that's how Democrats do. Their principles are nonexistent so they rely on deceit to win. With Mr. Obama, the deceit is his flashy smile.

President Joe Biden speaks at the Volvo Group Powertrain Operations in Hagerstown, Md., Friday, Oct. 7, 2022. With the economy consistently top of mind for voters who will decide the fate of vulnerable Democrats, Biden is urging patience amid the hazardous economic crosscurrents of persistent inflation, recession fears and the prospect of rising energy prices in the closing weeks of the midterm elections.

Twitter, like Democrats, poised for massive comeuppance

Elon Musk has taken over Twitter and fired the company's top executives. Democrats are down in the polls -- they "agonize" about their midterm chances, as NBC News put it. President Biden's approval ratings are low, very low. All's beginning to be right with the world.

Coronavirus to climate change: Make way for more lockdowns

A report from scientists in The Lancet finds climate change is "increasingly affecting the foundations of human health and wellbeing" and that if governments don't stop using fossil fuels, people will die, people will die, people will die. It's the reincarnation of COVID-19.

New York court crumbles COVID-19 vaccine mandate walls

New York's Supreme Court has told employers who fired employees for failing to get the COVID-19 shots to reverse course, rehire those workers and -- get this -- give 'em all their backpay. Finally. Sanity is coming back into America. Let more lawsuits flow.

Attorneys general ride to free-market, anti-ESG rescue

Eric Schmitt is helping to lead a 19-state investigation into six U.S. financial firms that are tied to the United Nations' Net-Zero Banking Alliance, a global entity that basically tells businesses to get on board with the radical environmental agenda, or close doors. Yay, Team A.G.

Transgender enablers are cruel, wicked and even criminal

The LGBTQ movement in this nation has rapidly shifted to one of demanding tolerance for utter evil. It's high time to drum out the evil. It's past time to call out the lies for what they are: lies. It's due season to get legislators and courts involved to stop the insanity.

Socialism in America thriving as secularism grows

Youth are being taught a batch of lies: namely, that life is about making a buck, that the path to success should be easy, and that some are born with unfair advantages and therefore, their subsequent successes are unearned. These are all ingredients in the recipe called socialism.
