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.

Eric Swalwell now thinks Donald Trump colluded with Axios

Rep. Eric Swalwell, who couldn't wait to impeach President Donald Trump for false Russia collusion charges, is now shaking off any negative press about his dealings with a Chinese spy by -- get this -- accusing Trump of colluding with the news organization that reported his dealings, Axios. Or maybe it's Axios colluding with Trump.

In America, the default is individual freedom, not government dole-outs

The government, on COVID-19, has gone amok; on that, there is no question. But a question that does arise is this: Who's in charge here, anyway? It's supposed to be the people. COVID-19 has made it the government. And American citizens need to fight, fight, fight on this point or forever cede the notion of rights coming from God.

Jeanine Pirro rips Bill Barr as swamp creature, as U.S. divide grows deeper

This country is rapidly being split into believers versus non-believers. That is to say: If you think this election was tainted by fraud and that President Donald Trump actually won, stand on this side of the country. If you think Joe Biden won and allegations of election fraud are the stuff of conspiracy nonsense, stand on that side.

America, it’s pitchfork time

The list of Democrats who've violated their own COVID-19 scoldings grows long. Chances are, it'll grow longer. It's high time to grab the pitchforks and drive these scourges right out of office.

Joe Biden gets high marks for not drooling

Joe Biden is on a roll -- and if you don't believe that, ask CNN. As Jake Tapper and Don Lemon gushed, here's a guy who gave all the "right answers" during a recent interview. That's code for: Oh my God! He stayed awake the whole time!

Obama, Clinton, Bush, Biden band for ridiculous vaccine virtue signal

Three former presidents and the one the media chose for incoming -- Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George Bush and Joe Biden -- have come forth to proudly proclaim they'll take the COVID-19 vaccine in public, for all to see, so all can see there's nothing to see here, no need to worry. Well, isn't that special. And do the American people get to pick a random physician to administer the shot?

Texas turned down Dominion voting software — and that’s no conspiracy theory

One line of logic being slung by the scoffers of President Donald Trump's election challenges goes like this: that's conspiracy talk -- particularly the part about the Dominion voting system. But Texas rejected the very Dominion software that's at the heart of attorney Sidney Powell's investigation into ballot-counting fraud. Three times.

Socialists at U.N. giddy at gift of Joe Biden

For four years, the United Nations has been constrained by the Donald Trump administration's America First, U.N. not at all policies. That's all about to change.

This April 26, 2017, file photo shows the Twitter app icon on a mobile phone in Philadelphia. Twenty-six words tucked into a 1996 law overhauling telecommunications have allowed companies like Facebook, Twitter and Google to grow into the giants they are today. Those are the words President Donald Trump challenged in an executive order Thursday, May 28, 2020 one that would strip those protections if those companies engaged in “editorial decisions” — like, for instance, adding a fact-check warning to one of Trump's tweets.

Donald Trump makes bold play to strip Section 230 from Big Tech

President Donald Trump in a late-night tweet made clear Section 230 shields for "Big Tech" has to go, or the National Defense Authorization Act with all its funding for the military won't pass. It's about time all the talk, talk, talk about Section 230 and the need to repeal is finally making it to the walk.

Election results have more holes than Swiss cheese

Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the House, said bluntly that the 2020 election was stolen from President Donald Trump by minions of the left, supporters of socialism, defenders of the Democratic Party -- which is to be redundant, i.e., the socialists. Meanwhile, the more analysis comes, the more Gingrich shows as right.

Joe Biden and his fractured foot of weakness

This is America's next president -- the old white guy wrapped in a permanent face cloth who can barely finish his sentences and whose bones are apparently unable to withstand the pressures of canine play. The world watches. The anti-America world rubs hands in glee.

Tyrannical governors are giving the Tenth Amendment a bad name

The Tenth Amendment states that "powers not delegated ... nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." That's supposed to be a comfort for citizens, to keep the big boot of federal government at bay. Tyrannical governors are using the 10th to their tyrannical advantage, though.

COVID-19 vaccines’ scary side effects must not be dismissed

Dr. Anthony Fauci may be pressing for "as many people as possible" to get vaccinated -- Bill Gates may be on a "quest to vaccinate the world," as The New York Times put it in a headline. But American citizens should know: The side effects from the coming COVID-19 vaccines are proving pretty freaking substantial.

Andrew Cuomo the latest COVID-19 hypocrite

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was going to have his two adult daughters along with his 89-year-old mother travel to his Albany home for Thanksgiving -- but then the cries of hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite started, and he was forced to change his plans.

Election fraud to any degree destroys trust

The conversation that's going forward right now about President Donald Trump's investigation into election fraud goes like this: But it's not enough to flip the final results. Well, that's a flipping weak argument to halt the investigation.

Barack Obama once again signals conservatives are stupid

The problem with the Republican Party, said former President Barack Obama, is "the attitudes of the base" -- meaning, the conservatives who refuse to cave to Democrats. It's Hillary Clinton's baskets full of deplorables all over again.

Teachers’ unions continue to abuse children

Defying coronavirus science, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, and common sense about where this dangerous path will lead, the teachers' unions continue to call for the closing of America's schools and the continuance of home-based online teaching of students. It's abuse, pure and simple. It's abuse of children.
