Jill Biden more political opportunist than wife

President Joe Biden has a problem forming complete sentences, has a challenge walking without assistance, has a difficulty stringing together thoughts in a cohesive manner -- and those are his good days. But to his wife, Jill, that's "ridiculous."

Jen Psaki continues Democrat legacy of condescension

Hollywood's Kirstie Alley took to Twitter to call out White House press secretary Jen Psaki as a "mean girl" mirror image whose condescending demeanor is growing tiresome. Multiply that times a few million and there's a description that fits most of modern-day Democrats.

Democrats can’t lie their way out of inflation

President Biden and his water carriers want Americans to believe that inflation is good for the economy, good for ye olde pocketbook, good for friends and foes alike because, well, gosh darn it, everyone is helped when prices soar. Don't get the logic? Don't worry. There is none.

Republicans lose sight of war when waging petty, inner-party battles

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Texas Republican, just called out GOP members of the House Freedom Caucus, a group that includes Reps. Louie Gohmert, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene, as "grifters" and "performance artists." Can you say, thanks, Dan? Democrats are.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer speaks at a news conference in Oxford, Mich., Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2021. Authorities say a 15-year-old sophomore opened fire at Oxford High School, killing three students and wounding several others, including a teacher. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)

Gretchen Whitmer — Gretchen Whitmer!! — questions vaccine mandates

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the Michiganian who became the face of American tyranny when she cracked down on seed purchases and gardening supplies during the blooming stages of the coronavirus, is hesitant to adopt vaccine mandates. Look to the skies. Pigs must be flying.

In this Aug. 9, 2018, file photo, Safe Night Access Project in Seattle volunteers show some of the products they give away to sex workers and other people who ask for as part of providing harm reduction services along a north Seattle strip known for prostitution. Recent crackdowns targeting the sex-for-hire industry have reduced the number of commercial ads on the internet and helped fight online trafficking. But activists and police say the efforts may have had unintended consequences — landing women and girls back on the streets, where dangers also lurk. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson) ** FILE **

America’s lost generation of girls

Teachers who applaud the sex trade? High school girls who dream of selling their sexualized bodies? America is rapidly becoming a Rome. If we want a nation that fosters the best of humanity, not the worst -- we must stop teaching our girls to behave like prostitutes.

In excerpts released ahead of a speech Monday Dec. 6, 2021, Prof. Sarah Gilbert, one of the scientists behind the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, is warning that the next pandemic may more contagious and more lethal unless more money is devoted to research and preparations to fight emerging viral threats. (Steve Parsons/PA via AP, file)

Big Pharma, WHO, globalists tee up next virus fear

Sarah Gilbert, one of the creators of the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccines, said the next virus "could be worse. It could be more contagious, or more lethal, or both," Reuters reported. No dip, Sherlock. The next one could be tame, too. Or lame. Or completely unnoticeable.

America can’t survive another three years of Joe Biden

The next presidential election isn't until 2024. The next president won't take the inaugural oath until 2025. That's a long time for the current White House to run its unconstitutional course. America, under Joe Biden, won't survive the next three years.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, right, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, speaks as Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), listens during a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing on Capitol Hill, Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) ** FILE **

Dr. Fauci and his galactic, galaxy-size ego

Dr. Anthony Fauci said Republicans are "lying" when they attack him and that he's "saving lives" with his medical advice to stay home, stay away from others and take shot after shot after shot. Messianic complex, meet victim complex. This guy's ego is as big as the Milky Way.

Whiny Trump-haters are political revisionists

It takes a powerful historical revisionist to suggest Donald Trump's fans are ignorant and Trump himself was an anomaly. The fact is Trump's rise in ranks came because of the failure of these very high-brow types to see how their own political elitism was killing conservatism.

China only grows bolder under Biden

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon just shot off a quip about China that wasn't exactly fawning -- and shortly after, he apologized. More to truth, he was pressured to apologize. This is just part and parcel of a growing trend, made worse under Joe Biden, for America to bend to China.

Indonesia has significantly recovered from a mid-year spike in coronavirus cases and deaths that was one of the worst in the region, but with its vaccination drive stalling and holidays approaching, experts and officials warn the island nation could be set soon for another surge. (AP Photo/Achmad Ibrahim)

Vaccinated? None of your freaking business

Once upon a time, the personal and private health records and choices of free American citizens were just that -- personal and private. Now? Not so much. And that's a danger to civil liberties. So quit asking about vaccination status. Quit answering about vaccination status.

Thanksgiving vs. Franksgiving: Choose wisely, America

One president marked Thanksgiving with God. The other, with secularism. And on that theme, this is the cultural tension that divides the nation to this day. Choose wisely, America, which path to pursue: Our nation's freedoms depend on the correct selection.

A security guard stands outside the Nordstrom store at The Grove retail and entertainment complex in Los Angeles, Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2021. Los Angeles police say a group of thieves smashed windows at the department store at the luxury mall late Monday, the latest incident in a trend of smash-and-grab crimes is part of a national trend. (AP Photo/Eugene Garcia)

Retail ‘smash-and-grab’ looters are the Democrats’ own making

The CNN headline promised answers: "Why some US cities are facing a spree of 'smash-and-grab' crimes." But it was largely a false flag. Once again, those on the left -- as CNN people lean -- have failed to fully acknowledge the problem lies with themselves.

Protesters march on Sunday, Nov. 21, 2021, in Kenosha, Wis. Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges after pleading self-defense in the deadly Kenosha shootings that became a flashpoint in the nation's debate over guns, vigilantism and racial injustice. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)

Democrats, leftists pick pedophile over Second Amendment

Kyle Rittenhouse was cleared of all charges, but leftists won't accept the jurors' finding and instead are out and about, fanning the flames of outrage, protesting in the streets, protesting online, protesting on the airwaves. Once again, they're putting their ignorance on full display.

(AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)

White House pushes lawless vaccine mandates

Law? Schmaw. Legal? Schmegal. Jen Psaki's recent comments that American businesses should move forward with a federal mask mandate despite a court putting them on hold should shred any lingering notions that this administration aspires to respect the rule of law.

President Joe Biden arrives with Vice President Kamala Harris to speak before signing into law S. 1511, the "Protecting America's First Responders Act of 2021," S. 1502, the "Confidentiality Opportunities for Peer Support Counseling Act or the COPS Counseling Act," and S. 921, the "Jaime Zapata and Victor Avila Federal Officers and Employees Protection Act," in the State Dining Room of the White House, Thursday, Nov. 18, 2021, in Washington.

Democrats and their disingenuous sell of inflation as good

The typical Thanksgiving dinner may cost 14% more this year than last. And don't even get started on the price hikes to gas, from $2.12 per gallon of regular a year ago to $3.41, on average. But Democrats' say not to worry. It's all good. It's all a sign of a positive economy.

Biden so weak even Mexico now threatening America

President Biden's inability to show himself as a strong leader on either national or international stages practically wipes out all of the material, military or monetary plusses that America holds. He's weak, weak, weak, and the whole world knows it -- even Mexico.
