China threat looms large at America’s college campuses

America's college campuses, already corrupted by Marxist-loving professors bent on reliving their 1960s protest years, have now become even more dangerous places for the youth of the country. Nothing says "Tear Down These American Walls" like a pro-communist, properly propagandized youthful batch of college grads -- yes?

Anthony Fauci’s ‘lying’ is hardly surprising

Sen. Marco Rubio just called out Anthony Fauci in a penned piece posted on Fox News as a lying liar who arrogantly used his position as the nation's top infectious disease bureaucrat to lie to the American people "in order to manipulate their behavior." It's a good piece; a crucial read. But readers, take note: Why be surprised?

California shows COVID-19 shutdowns are all about politics, power plays

California has just seen an uptick in coronavirus case counts. That's after the state's residents suffered some of the country's toughest crackdowns on freedoms. So in response to the uptick in coronavirus case counts, the Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, has -- get this -- issued more stay-at-home crackdowns. Come again?

Americans want work, not stimulus handouts

Six hundred dollars here, $2,000 there, government funding here, coronavirus stimulus there. As Congress and Capitol Hill grapple with the fate of final and ongoing relief funding amounts for Americans, the simple fact is this: These handouts are getting wearisome. Americans, true Americans, want to work.

Anthony Fauci blames states’ rights for coronavirus spread

Dr. Anthony Fauci just told BBC Radio 4 that it's that pesky ol' 10th Amendment that has proven a real detriment to disease-fighting. He wants total federal clamp-downs and few-to-zero sovereign state COVID-19 decisions. Of course, he didn't explicitly say all this. He gave it the Fauci Treatment, which is to say the subtle sell.

Joe Biden cometh, and he’s bringing his czars to rule

Make way for the czars. A Joe Biden White House, as media report is in the works, will bring more czars, more issuance of regulation, more Barack Obama-like pen and phone governance than any kind of duly passed laws and order.

This photo made available by the U.S. National Archives shows a portion of the United States Constitution with Articles V-VII. 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)

All I want for Christmas is the Constitution

Build back better. It's the campaign call of leftists everywhere who want to see a better nation, nay better world, emerging from all this coronavirus stuff. It's such an alluring slogan, but it disguises its nasty socialist catch.

Mike Pence doesn’t faint, proving COVID-19 vaccine both safe and effective

Vice President Mike Pence took to live television to take the coronavirus vaccine in his arm -- and that's some darn good leadership right there, indeed. Moreover, he didn't faint. Even better leadership. 'Cause nothing says "don't follow me!" like a man trying to cut a "follow me, get the vaccine" public health spot who then faints. Like that nurse did in Tennessee.

Wolf said Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020, that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and is isolating at home. The second-term Democrat said a routine test on Tuesday detected the coronavirus.

Pennsylvania face mask mandates failed

Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf and his transgender health secretary Rachel Levine have demanded citizens in their state of Pennsylvania wear face masks for months as a means of combatting the coronavirus. But the masks failed. Coronavirus case counts are up.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee speaks during a news conference, Monday, Nov. 30, 2020, at the Capitol in Olympia, Wash. The state announced a new statewide coronavirus exposure notification program Monday that uses smartphone technology in the ongoing effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19. People with Apple iPhones can now enable the 'exposure notifications' feature that is already in their phone's settings, and Android devices can download the app. Use of the service is voluntary and users can opt-out at any time.

Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee poised to buck teachers’ unions

Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat, just announced that he wants his state of Washington to open schools for in-person instruction, COVID-19 case counts be danged. Well, case counts almost be danged. In these coronavirus shut-down times, it's practically political blasphemy for a Democrat to acknowledge the failures of online learning.

Barack Obama, a boring boor who can’t stop condemning conservatives

Former President Barack Obama just said that Republicans suck, the Republican Party sucks, all the Republicans in America suck, and that the only smart people in the nation, nay the world, are Democrats and progressives and progressive Democrats. Not in so many words, of course. But it was implied. What a boor. And a bore.

Joe Biden names Pete Buttigieg to ‘Harris-Biden’ Cabinet

In remarks to introduce Pete Buttigieg as the newest member of a Joe Biden White House administration, Biden referenced his looming most diverse Cabinet -- his most diverse "Harris-Biden" Cabinet. Come on, dude. Get with the program.

Anthony Fauci the humanist demands stay-at-home for Christ’s birthday

Dr. Anthony Fauci said in an interview with The Washington Post's "Power Up" team that Christmas "cannot be business as usual" this year because of the coronavirus and that since he's giving up his family gathering in the name of saving America, then all the other Americans out there should do so as well. Give up church, you mean?

China and its ‘global climate governance’ plan

China's Xi Jinping just said that "COVID-19 is triggering deep reflections on the relationship between man and nature" -- so much so that the idea of "global climate governance" is becoming widely accepted. Read the tea leaves. He's talking about global governance via a two-punch fright fight called climate change and COVID-19.

The personnel of Allied Security Operations Group -- a team of defense, military, Secret Service and intelligence professionals, led in part by an academic from Harvard with expertise in business and technology -- just found the Dominion Voting System in Antrim County, Michigan, for the 2020 election recorded a 68% error rate. Oops.

In this Saturday, Jan 19, 2019, file photo, a police car sits in front of Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, Ky. The news about Karen Pence's teaching job at a Christian school in northern Virginia that lists "homosexual or lesbian sexual activity" as among the disqualifying criteria for prospective employees, was quickly followed by debate over the behavior of boys from this school during a January 2019 visit to Washington. While opinions varied widely as to whether the boys had behaved badly, that incident further fueled debate over faith-based schools and the world view of their students. (AP Photo/Bryan Woolston) ** FILE **

Christian schools poised for persecution

The Association of Christian Schools International just surveyed 730 faith-based facilities about their COVID-19 responses and found that "the vast majority of Christian schools delivered on their promise to reopen in person [this fall] and to do so safely and comprehensively." This makes them Public Enemy Number One to Democrats.

Bill Gates vows COVID-19 tyranny ‘til 2022

Bill Gates, the guy who turned in his Microsoft credentials for a cereal box medical degree that allows him to tell you and me to stay home due to a virus, now tells that you and me will have to stay home until, umm, let's see, 2022. Or so. Tyranny 'til 2022 -- learn it. Live it. Love it. Put it on a bumper sticker and drive it.

COVID-19 tyrants now set sights on Christmas

Watch out. One of Joe Biden's coronavirus advisory board members told CNN that Americans need to give up their Christmas parties in order to help contain the spread of COVID-19. Who died and made these political hacks the keeper of the constitutional rights?

Virginia COVID-19 shutdown is a total farce

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam just issued new coronavirus-tied restrictions that include curfews, tighter mask mandates and more restrictions on indoor and outdoor gatherings -- supposedly because science tells him this is the right thing to do for citizens' safety. Don't believe it. The new shutdowns are based on lies and deceptions.

Thomas Jefferson is being slandered

Falls Church, Virginia, school board officials, citing slavery, just voted to remove the name of Thomas Jefferson from an elementary school, despite the fact the vast majority of citizens were opposed to the idea. Yet another example of ignorance and radical leftism winning a cultural battle.
