FILE - Protective masks hang in a decontamination unit at the Battelle N95 decontamination site during the coronavirus pandemic in Somerville, Mass. Before the coronavirus struck, N95 masks were single use. A nurse could use a dozen a day. Many American hospitals are looking broad for health care workers, saying they're facing a dire shortage of nurses amid the slogging pandemic. It could be just in time as there's an unusually high number of green cards available this year for foreign professionals seeking to move to the United States. The reason is U.S. consulates were closed during the coronavirus pandemic, leaving tens of thousands of unused visa slots for eligible workers. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer, File)

‘Natural immunity’ finally squeaks past gaslighters, censors

Once upon a time, natural immunity was a given -- a God-given, in fact. That is to say that humans are equipped by their Creator with the inherent ability to fight off diseases. And that was recognized biology -- settled science, so to speak. Then came the politicization of COVID-19.

American Olympians playing for China are betraying USA

At least seven Americans have jumped Team USA to go play for China in the Olympics. They are betraying the United States, pure and simple. No man can serve two masters. Just as you can't serve God and mammon -- you can't serve freedom and tyranny.

This photo made available by the U.S. National Archives shows a portion of the United States Constitution with the title of Article V. For the past two centuries, constitutional amendments have originated in Congress, where they need the support of two-thirds of both houses, and then the approval of at least three-quarters of the states. But under a never-used second prong of Article V, amendments can originate in the states. (National Archives via AP) ** FILE **

Conservatives can’t afford to take revenge

These are perilous times in America right now. From every corner come calls to censor, catcalls to stifle, cries to shut down and boot and shut up those who speak the so-deemed unspeakable. Conservatives shouldn't enter that movement, no matter how tempting.

Actress Whoopi Goldberg defended former Vice President Joseph R. Biden on "The View." She said Mr. Biden's longtime association with former President Barack Obama demonstrated that Mr. Biden wasn't a racist. (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer) ** FILE **

Whoopi Goldberg has a right to be wrong

ABC News just suspended Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks from "The View" because she mistakenly, incorrectly and egregiously falsely stated that the Holocaust wasn't "about race" but rather about man's inhumanity to man. This is a missed teaching moment.

Dear Democrats, 70% say enough of the COVID clampdowns

Fully 70% of Americans say they've grown tired of all the coronavirus talk, and equally tired of all the coronavirus clampdowns on freedoms, and they also say it's high time to "get on" with living. In other words: Dear Democrats, it's time to find a new political tool.

No, Biden did not do a Reagan on Supreme Court

President Biden has announced he will choose a Black woman to nominate for retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer's seat. That means he puts skin color first, consideration for the Constitution second.

America’s ultimate war is God-given vs. government-granted

Americans are born into their rights, which are given -- freely, no less -- by an all-powerful, all-sovereign God. So as America's belief in, regard for and reliance upon God goes, so goes America's political, cultural, educational and economic structures.

(Salvatore Di Nolfi/Keystone via AP) ** FILE **

Dr. Fauci pitches next vaccine — or does he?

Dr. Anthony Fauci said it's "prudent" to "prepare" a vaccine that specifically targets omicron. Then in the next breath, he said it's not necessarily necessary. And with that, bam -- Fauci brings his trademark flip-floppiness to America's COVID-19 stage.

Jen Psaki — Janitor Jen — can’t clean up Biden’s messes

President Biden is so low in the polls that even his friends in the media are warning of voter backlash and clean sweeps of Republican wins in the coming elections. But change? Nope. Biden bungles; Janitor Jen Psaki rushes to clean up his messes. Nary a change in direction comes. Nor will it.

American Airlines throws face mask hissy fit

An American Airlines plane headed to London was more than hour into its flight when its pilot decided to turn around and head back to the departure point, Miami, because a female passenger declined to wear a face mask. What a petty, unnecessary move.

Biden: Mask-less, hypocritical, incoherent, odd

President Biden took to the White House podium for a rare press conference, sporting an even rarer look -- a face absent a mask. And then he went on to say he's united the country, did a terrific job in Afghanistan and is not -- not! no matter what people say -- not Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Biden face mask giveaway a tax-paid treat for China

President Biden is planning to give away 400 million N95 face masks to the American people as a means of fighting the spread of the coronavirus and its variants. That's "give" in quotation marks, of course. The federal government does not "give" anything away. Taxpayers do.

Biden radicalism sends Democrat voters fleeing

In 2021, roughly 49 percent of Americans claimed allegiance to the Democratic Party, while about 40 percent leaned Republican. Fast-forward a few months and the picture has quite changed: 47 percent say they're Republican; 42 percent, Democrat. Seismic, meet shift.

Supreme Court vaccine rulings fail to recognize God-given rights

The Supreme Court, in a moment of supreme lucidity, slapped down Joe Biden's presidential attempt to use a federal agency to bend private companies' to his executive will, via OSHA. That's great. But the split rulings fail to recognize a core American principle: God-given rights.

America wins when Joe Biden loses

President Joe Biden has had a very bad week. That means America, at least the part of America that still believes in individual liberties and the Constitution, have had a very good week.
