A snack vendor fixes his mouth and nose covering, which he wears due to the COVID-19 pandemic, on a sidewalk in downtown Mexico City, Friday, Oct. 30, 2020. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, Mexico’s economy was in recession, and that only deepened with the economic shutdown provoked by measures aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19 during the second quarter.

Face masks, move over; there’s a new stupid in town: Cloth pig snouts

Americans are supposed to walk around with cloth-stitched snouts on their faces? To steal from the surgeon general: "Seriously, people." Any business -- any restaurant -- that puts up a sign saying "no nose mask, no entry" is a business and restaurant that deserves immediate boycott.

Joe Biden should ban assault people

President Biden responded to the Boulder, Colorado, shootings by calling on Congress to pass a ban on assault weapons. Whatever that means. Aren't all guns to some extent capable of assaulting? It's the people who are firing those weapons we really need to stop, yes?

In this Oct. 2, 2018, file photo, semi-automatic rifles fill a wall at a gun shop in Lynnwood, Wash. Mass shootings in Georgia and Colorado in March 2021, that left several people dead, have reignited calls from gun control advocates for tighter restrictions on buying firearms and ammunition. But with Democrats in control of the federal government, gun rights advocates have been persuading Republican-run state legislatures to go the other way, making it easier to obtain and carry guns.

Democrats and their ‘double standards’ on guns

Republican Sen. John Kennedy blasted Democrats for having a "double standard" on guns that goes like this: "If a bad guy shoots a cop, it's the gun's problem; if a cop shoots a bad guy, it's the cop's fault," he said. Great point. The "double standard" goes even deeper, though.

Donald Trump’s brilliant America First social media move

Donald Trump could run for president of the United States for a second term. And who knows, maybe he will. But the better, more beneficial, even brilliant move is the one he's making -- to blow up social media with a new platform.

Anthony Fauci, gag, to be memorialized in kids’ book

Anthony Fauci is going to be featured in a new children's book from Simon & Schuster called, "Dr. Fauci: How a Boy from Brooklyn Became America's Doctor." Gag. A better title? "Anthony Fauci: How a Boy Went From Brooklyn to Bust, in One Deception-Filled COVID-19 Year."

Mike Pompeo reminds: ‘1,327 days’

Move over, James Brennan. Stay quiet, Mitt Romney. Stick to Netflix and Bruce Springsteen podcasts Barack Obama. This is how you do a Twitter feed as a former high-ranking member of government. "1,327 days," tweeted Mike Pompeo, secretary of State for President Donald Trump.

Rand Paul gets gold star for taking on Anthony Fauci

In the world of COVID-19, it's the medical bureaucrats who've emerged as the voices who can never be questioned -- and that's a constitutional travesty, pure and simple. America is indeed paying a civil rights' price. So thank goodness for Sen. Rand Paul.

Migrants stand in line after being released from U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody at a bus station, Wednesday, March 17, 2021, in Brownsville, Texas. Team Brownsville, a humanitarian group, is helping the migrants reach their final destination in the U.S. A surge of migrants on the Southwest border has the Biden administration on the defensive. An official says U.S. authorities encountered nearly double the number children traveling alone across the Mexican border in one day this week than on an average day last month.

Joe Biden could stop the border breach if he wanted

President Biden is facing a crisis situation at the border, with a reported 13,000 -- and growing -- number of unaccompanied minors in federal custody. And he could stop it. But he won't. He won't even agree that 13,000 unaccompanied children at the border is a crisis.

George Soros, Open Society in hot water in Myanmar

Myanmar reported a staffer affiliated with the Open Society Foundations has been detained on allegations of financial misconduct. This is what happens when billionaire meddlers like George Soros meddle with other nations' governments: They risk angering other nations' governments.

Joe Biden — stop the presses! — to hold news conference

President Biden, through his press secretary Jen Psaki, announced he is going to hold a new conference on, ba dum dum, dum, March 25. The fact this makes national news as an event to promote is an underscore of the weakness of this president.

In this Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021, file photo, President Joe Biden pauses as he signs his first executive orders in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington. On Friday, Feb. 12, 2021, The Associated Press reported on a manipulated photo circulating online incorrectly asserting it shows Biden asleep in his seat at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office with a stack of executive orders in front of him. Biden’s head in the post comes from a 2011 event where he appears to briefly doze off as former President Barack Obama delivered a speech on the national debt. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)

Democrats on warpath to crumble America

Executive order after executive order. Open borders. Gun control. Trillion dollar stimulus giveaways on top of multitrillion-dollar debt. Now tax hikes? At this rate, by the end of the year, America as we know it will be no more. America the free? Try America like Venezuela.

People surround a car as it arrives carrying food donations at a makeshift camp for migrants seeking asylum in the United States at the border crossing Friday, March 12, 2021, in Tijuana, Mexico. The Biden administration hopes to relieve the strain of thousands of unaccompanied children coming to the southern border by terminating a 2018 Trump-era order that discouraged potential family sponsors from coming forward to house the children.

Joe Biden has created a border mess

President Joe Biden told wanna-be border crossers to wait a bit -- don't come just yet -- and with that, opened the doors wide for border crossers. It's the caveat that counted most. To the masses, the message was: Don't worry; you'll get in. Eventually, you'll get in.

Jose Rosas and his wife, Sara, who live in the 90060 zip code, wait in line to be screened for high temperature before being vaccinated at the St. John's Well Child and Family Center just-opened COVID-19 vaccination site at the East Los Angeles Civic Center in Los Angeles, Thursday, March 4, 2021. California will begin setting aside 40% of all vaccine doses for the state's most vulnerable neighborhoods in an effort to inoculate people most at risk from the coronavirus more quickly. The doses will be spread among 400 ZIP codes where there are about 8 million people eligible for shots. Advocates for health and racial justice cheered the move given the disproportionate number of cases and deaths among Latinos. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)

Americans may finally be corona-weary

A Morning Consult poll found that for the first time in a year, when the coronavirus hit, more Americans than not feel comfortable eating at a restaurant, inside, at a table, seated among friends and strangers both. America may finally be hitting the stage called corona-weary.

In this Sept. 24, 2013, file photo, Courtney Keating, education coordinator of The Literacy Center in Evansville, Ind., reads "If I Ran the Zoo," By Dr. Seuss, to passersby during an event to promote literacy along the Evansville Riverfront. Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the business that preserves and protects the author and illustrator's legacy, announced on his birthday, Tuesday, March 2, 2021, that it would cease publication of several children's titles including "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" and "If I Ran the Zoo," because of insensitive and racist imagery. (Erin McCracken/Evansville Courier & Press via AP, File)

Dr. Seuss censorship sets impossible standard

If Dr. Seuss is the standard by which all authors are to be judged, make way for the book burnings. And bring lots of firewood. Because if Dr. Seuss and his cartoonish characters can't pass the anti-racism muster of the faces of the left, how can Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?"
