Joe Biden bumbles into moment of awkward truth

Joe Biden stumbled into an awkward moment of truth on the campaign trail in Kenosha, saying he'd like to stick around and talk a while longer but -- his words, perhaps in reference to the thuggish types walking the streets -- "they'll shoot me." Well, welcome to the world of Democratic leadership, Joe. Even Biden's afraid of the left.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gestures while speaking about her visit to a hair salon during a news conference at the Mission Education Center Elementary School Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2020, in San Francisco. Pelosi said she takes responsibility for trusting the word of a San Francisco hair salon she's visited over the years when it told her it was OK to come in for a solo visit this week, even though the city still does not allow indoor beauty services.

Nancy Pelosi hair salon flap shows crisis of political arrogance

The Founding Fathers never intended this country to be governed by separate sets of rules for the masses -- by policies and practices that elevated certain classes above certain others and awarded special privileges to some, but not to others. Nancy Pelosi would disagree.

Joe Biden campaign already in the dumps

It's tough to campaign for the highest office in the land, nay the world, when half your supporters want you to stay invisible, and the other half visibly nervously bite nails when you're in public.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson face D.C. eviction

A country that stands for nothing will fall for anything. The more the America haters and America apologists wipe, smear and erase America's history, the less America stands as a nation. With no identity, no roots, there is no clear future.

People wait inside their vehicles in line at a COVID-19 testing site Wednesday, July 8, 2020, in Houston. Texas has surpassed 10,000 new coronavirus cases in a single day for the first time as a resurgence of the outbreak rages across the U.S. The record high of 10,028 confirmed cases Tuesday follows Republican Gov. Greg Abbott decision to mandate masks in much of the state and to close bars, retreating from what had been one of America’s fastest reopenings. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip)

Crazy bogus thing called coronavirus death counts

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just said: "For 6% of the deaths" due to the coronavirus, "COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned" by authorities. There's an "are you kidding me!" screaming moment for ya.

NFL players who want to kneel during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racism have far more support than Colin Kaepernick did four years ago. (AP Photo/Mark Zaleski, File)

America’s sports are ruined by politics

Politics has already ruined sports. Thank you, Colin Kaepernick, for the pig socks and the bended knee. But that was the kickoff, some years back. It's been joy-destroying, fun-killing, nearly non-stop field politicking since.

Joe Biden laughably blames Donald Trump for Democrat-fueled violence

In a tweet, Joe Biden, former vice president, 2020 White House hopeful, keeper of the basement key, and other such illustrious titles, yada yada and so on and so forth, wrote this: "Remember: every example of violence Donald Trump decries has happened on his watch. Under his leadership. During his presidency." Nice try, Joe.

Law enforcement officers working in concert with the U.S. Marshals Service conduct a raid on a home in the St. Louis area in this undated photo provided by the Marshals Service.

U.S. heroes save 15 kids from evil sex traffickers

U.S. Marshals -- U.S. heroes, really -- swooped into Georgia, partnered with local and state law enforcement, and found and rescued 39 missing children, 15 of whom were identified as victims of sex trafficking. Thank God for America's law enforcement. Suddenly, "defund the police" doesn't seem so smart, does it?

Democrats should free Blacks from the chains of ‘Uncle Tom’

Gosh, it's stifling to be a Democrat. It's stifling just to listen to Democrats. But this "Uncle Tom" stuff has to stop. Demanding blacks be all one way and none another is the political equivalent of enslavement. It's an enslavement of minds, of ideas, of free-thinking curiosity and education and independent analysis.

CDC walks back COVID-19 testing, warns not to argue with anti-maskers

The CDC reversed course on its recommendation for anyone and everyone who comes into contact with a coronavirus-positive individual to get tested, and instead, not. That makes sense. After all, Americans don't run to the doctor's to get tested for influenza every time they cross paths with a person who's got the flu. Right?

The Lincoln Project women are silly and stupid

A handful of women proclaiming to be Republicans have united in anti-Donald Trump messaging to join forces under the umbrella of The Lincoln Project and oust this president from the White House. Ignore this faction. They're silly and stupid and are busily, stupidly, trying to sell a silly lie about their so-called Republican beliefs.

In this Monday, June 1, 2020 file photo, President Donald Trump holds a Bible as he visits outside St. John's Church across Lafayette Park from the White House. Only a few legacy-defining moments have clung to Trump. But the forceful clearing of demonstrators from the park across from the White House has resonated like few others, sending Trump’s poll numbers tumbling and prompting top military leaders and usually lockstep Republicans to distance themselves from the president.

‘JESUS 2020’ signs dot the campaign landscape

There are go-Donald Trump signs supporting the president's reelection; there are vote-Joe Biden signs calling for a change in White House leadership. But a new wave of signage is dotting America's landscape, bringing a message that goes like this: "JESUS 2020." Thank God. It's just what America needs.

Virginia on COVID-19 steroids: Take zee shot, comrade — or else

Virginia's health commissioner, Dr. Norman Oliver, said he will make every man, woman and child in the state take the COVID-19 vaccine once it's developed, once it's proven safe, and so long as he is still in office, holding the job of -- apparently -- Resident Body Snatcher. Literally. Who died and made this dude king?

The smartphone screen, seen in Tokyo, Japan, shows a trial version of the COVID-19 Contact Confirming Application, or COCOA, released Friday, June 19, 2020, by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. The notice says "There was no close contact." The coronavirus tracing app is designed to alert users if they come in contact with someone tested positive for the coronavirus. Once installed, the app logs data via Bluetooth from phones that stay in close proximity for over 15 minutes.(Kyodo News via AP)

Contact tracing app at Michigan college is a surveillance-state nightmare

A creepy contact tracing app at a Michigan college that was forced on all students identifies the app user by name and location; generates a specific code that labels the app user as "certified" or "denied," based on required coronavirus test results; and sends an alert to administrators when students violate COVID-19 protocols.

Joe Biden talks of ‘soul’ saving as Democrats remove ‘God’

Joe Biden said in his farewell, oops, he meant to say, acceptance speech, that he's going to restore the "soul of America" if voters elect him this November to the Senate -- oops, he meant to say, White House. Mental acuity aside, the question is: How's he going to restore a "soul" when his fellow Democrats are busily removing God?

Netflix: Pandering to pedophiles everywhere

Netflix, in a new series called "Cuties," is blatantly sexualizing little girls. And tens of thousands have already signed a petition demanding the show's removal from public streaming. But how could such a horrifying show make it past the pitch room in the first place?

Massachusetts mandates flu shots for all students: Next up, COVID-19?

The Department of Public Health in Massachusetts just ordered all students older than 6 months, and up through college, to get the flu vaccination as a condition of attending school. You knew this was coming. What's more, you suspected this was coming for COVID-19, too -- once the vaccine is available, that is. Right?

Anderson Cooper ought to blast Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, like he did Mike Lindell

CNN host Anderson Cooper, in one of those snarky "I'm from CNN so I'm smarter than everyone" TV moments, blasted guest MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell as a "snake oil salesman" for pushing the benefits of a coronavirus therapy that could financially benefit him. But where's the similar treatment for Anthony Fauci? For Bill Gates?
