Nancy Pelosi throws Andrew Cuomo under bus

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dropped a bit of a bombshell on Sunday with a statement that said the sexual harassment accusations against Gov. Andrew Cuomo are "credible" and worthy of investigation. Tire, meet Cuomo's face.

In this June 24, 2020, file photo, Antonio Mingo, of Washington, right, holds his fists in the air as demonstrators protest in front of a police line on a section of 16th Street that's been renamed Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, following the death of George Floyd, a black man who was in police custody in Minneapolis. A financial snapshot shared exclusively with The Associated Press shows the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation took in just over $90 million last year. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)

Black Lives Matter disturbingly mum on donors

Black Lives Matter -- the foundation -- raked in more than $90 million in donations in 2020, proving itself to be a major player in the political world then, now and, with Democrats holding all the positions of D.C. power, likely into the foreseeable future. So why the secrecy on donors?

Naomi Wolf: Too little, too late — too disingenuous

Much ado is being made about ex-Clinton adviser and Joe Biden voter Naomi Wolf's explosive warning on Fox about the turning of this nation into a "totalitarian state" -- and it's not about nothing. But why doesn't the left ever heed the warnings before the 12th hour approaches?

Military gives clues of experimental nature of COVID-19 vaccine

Get the coronavirus vaccination -- it's safe, it's effective, it's the way back to pre-pandemic normalcy. Those are the lines; these are the arguments. But consider this. If the coronavirus vaccines were all that safe and secure, then why isn't the military mandating it for troops?

A Coca-Cola sign hangs outside a Coca-Cola distributor, Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2021, in Bedford, Ohio. The resurgent coronavirus slowed Coca-Cola’s recovery in the fourth quarter, and the company said the slump has continued through the first months of this year. (AP Photo/Tony Dejak)

Coca-Cola is racist, but so is Pepsi

Coca-Cola is facing significant backlash for a company-wide diversity training call for staffers to "try to be less white." But if you think the alternative is Pepsi -- think again. PepsiCo has been embroiled in some pretty racist messaging itself.

UN agency Joe Biden to fund teaches school kids Israel is evil

UNRWA, an agency that's supposed to provide health, education and social services to select populations, has been just caught -- again -- pushing through schools via online materials that Israel is basically the devil. This is the agency President Joe Biden wants to resume funding.

Joe Biden sets sail to sink America on globalism

Hello, United Nations. Goodbye, America First. The nation, under President Joe Biden, is rapidly swerving toward globalism. Globalism and diplomacy at all costs on foreign affairs.

Christians should learn the power of ‘Bite me’

Patriotic Christians need to learn the power of the phrase "Bite me" -- and then, apply it accordingly. Repeat as needed. Our Judeo-Christian-based liberties are at stake. And who knows best how to fight for God-given rights than those trained in the ways and words of God?

FILE - In this Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2019 file photo, Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., left, and Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., stand with President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky., as Trump speaks while departing after a Senate Republican Policy luncheon, on Capitol Hill in Washington. The Republican Party still belongs to Donald Trump. The GOP privately flirted with purging the norm-shattering former president after he incited a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol last month. But in the end, only seven of 50 Senate Republicans voted to convict Trump in his historic second impeachment trial on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2021. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File)

Donald Trump deplorables will not be purged

Hey, RINOs: Guess what? Neither Donald Trump nor his fan base is going quietly any time soon. This culture war, this political war, this fight for the future of America and battle over capitalism versus socialism -- this party is only getting started.

Joe Biden’s ‘commonsense gun law reforms’ are the lies of the anti-2nd Amendment left

President Joe Biden, on the anniversary of the horrible tragedy called the Parkland school shootings, promised his administration would forever protect innocent Americans from similarly senseless crimes and soon enough, with Democrats holding majorities in both House and Senate, pass "commonsense gun law reforms." That is to say: End the Second Amendment as we know it.

Double face-masking: Why not triple? Quadruple?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and health experts with Johns Hopkins just agreed with Anthony Fauci that double masking -- piling a mask on top of a mask over face and nose -- is "helpful" to fight coronavirus. "Helpful." There's a scientific finding for ya.

Nikki Haley — et tu? — distances from Donald Trump

Nikki Haley, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations told Politico Magazine that yes, she once stood by the president but now, post-Impeachment Two, post-Capitol Hill protest, he's "let us down." Ouch. That's the sound of a knife sliding gently into the former president's back.

ISIS: We’re baaack!

It's really no coincidence that as soon as strong-on-foreign-policy Donald Trump exited the White House office and weak-with-overseas-players Joe Biden entered that headlines started blasting this: "ISIS could regain capacity to orchestrate attacks in 2021."

LifeSite silenced by YouTube

YouTube censors have completely shut down the pro-life LifeSite channel, as well as erased all the Christian group's videos. While YouTube is privately owned, within its free-market rights to pick and choose its posters -- come on, now. As if the abortion matter only had one side?

National anthem is still unifying

By now, everybody's heard that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, also of "Shark Tank" TV fame, has done away with the singing or playing of the national anthem before basketball games and that he's also declined to tell why. The 11-14 Mavericks suck, anyway.

Donald Trump could easily steal Republican voters for new party

Roughly 70% of Republicans said in a new poll that they'd either definitely or "maybe" join a political party formed by Donald Trump. As Bernie Sanders might say: That's yuuge. Yuuge enough to set Republicans in Congress on notice about the political perils of impeachment, at least.

Pope Francis hops aboard chilling, globalist ‘Great Reset’ WEF wagon

Pope Francis said the coronavirus has provided the perfect opportunity for economies of the world to reimagine markets and push businesses to put social justice, rather than profits, at the core of their pursuits. He's calling for an end to capitalism and a "reset" for global socialism.

Liz Cheney epitomizes political elitism

Rep. Liz Cheney, Wyoming Republican, is in hot water with her state and constituents for voting in favor of impeaching Donald Trump -- that's DT Q. Citizen, not President Donald J. Trump. But she won't leave.
