Science in the hands of Democrats is a weapon

Joseph Ladapo, the top health official in Florida, just made national headlines for refusing to wear a face mask while meeting with a Democrat diagnosed with breast cancer and possessed of a fear of catching COVID-19. Ladapo is right. And this Democrat is all that's wrong in America.

Vaccine mandates, vaccine schmandates

The White House told the governors of Florida and Texas to stop undercutting the feds by allowing citizens to exercise free choice. Or else. It's almost as they think their trumped-up vaccine mandates are truly mandates or something. That's so cute. Bless their hearts.

Democrats are going down, down, down

November 2022 approaches. And by all indications: Democrats are going down. As in Bruce Springsteen "down." And that means one thing: Cue Lovin' Spoonful's daydream.

Southwest pilots are patriots for fighting COVID-19 vaccines

Southwest Airlines canceled 1,800-plus flights over the weekend on account of wink, wink, bad weather -- but the more plausible reason is that scores of pilots refused to fly because of COVID-19 vaccine mandates. If so, these pilots are patriots who deserve Americans' full support.

America losing her youth to socialism

America has a socialism problem, and it's one that's only growing worse with each school year. But this is by design. The Democratic Party's playbook is to turn the next generation into the best little sheep they can be. Why? The better to solidify party power, of course.

Biden, in weakness, emboldens China to aggress Taiwan

Every time a Democrat takes over the commander-in-chief position, the free world is set on edge. It's good times for tyranny; bad times for liberty. Or, in the case of this Biden administration, happy days for China; shaky times for Taiwan.

King Fauci, man of many deceptions

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Joe Biden administration's go-to guy for coronavirus policy, said in a wildly curious statement that the scores of people streaming illegally across America's borders are "absolutely not" to blame for coronavirus numbers in the United States. What a deceiver.

Never-ending COVID-19 crisis shifts to pill form

America has listened to health bureaucrats chat up the efficacy of face masks and COVID-19 vaccinations, assuring these mitigation efforts would return the country to pre-pandemic normalcy. Didn't happen. But here comes the magic pill that will no doubt carry the same promises.

America racing to darkness, but God gets final say

America is in peril. You know it, I know it, we all either see these perilous times for what they are, or we instinctively feel them. But remember: No matter the political will, no matter the cultural decay, it's God and God's people who have the final say on the fate of America.

Immorality destroying free market

Democrats are pushing for the corporate world to take up the socialist agenda that, due to constitutional constraints, can't be passed by legislation or executively ordered into regulation. And lapdog executives are largely complying -- mostly, because they're soulless SOBs.
