Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sells Catholics on abortion as ‘reproductive justice’

In the lead-up to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's speech at the Democratic National Convention came this piece, from the National Catholic Reporter: "AOC embraces reproductive justice, and other Catholics should, too." It's an illuminating piece that shows how the left can repackage evil and sell it as a product of love.

Democrats set convention course to Marxism

Democrats have announced plans to give Black Lives Matter a special place of elevated honor at the 2020 convention, to discuss the party's specially elevated themes: racial injustice and racial inequality. In so doing, they've cemented their image as the party of radicals -- party of lost souls, party of Marxists and Marxist-minded.

Valerie Jarrett drops tired old gender card to rescue Kamala Harris

How come every time a Democrat runs a woman for a political race, the gender card has to be thrown? It's such a tired line of politicking. It's cheap. It's boring and unimaginative. It's aimed simply at stopping all dissenting debates. Yet it continues to be the Democrats' go-to.

Democrat call for ‘unrest in the streets’ is sedition, pure and simple

Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, in an interview on "Morning Joy," called for the protesters in the streets of America to keep right on protesting in the streets. In other words: A seated member of Congress called on the violent thugs to keep up their violent thuggery.

Kamala Harris stands far left of true American principles

Sen. Kamala Harris favors higher taxes on businesses, higher taxes on higher-income earners and social justice -- that last, a catchall phrase that gives her carte blanche to press progressive policy into every hot button issue of the day, from the environment to coronavirus stimulus disbursements to housing education.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia GOPer, sets ‘that bitch’ Nancy Pelosi on notice

Marjorie Taylor Greene, in her victory speech for the Republican primary race she ran against neurosurgeon John Cowan for Georgia's 14th District, stepped outside political norms to call out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a "bitch" who would soon be booted. Or maybe she didn't. Maybe this rhetoric has become political norms.

Maryland takes 40,000 free face masks from China

Annapolis, Maryland, city officials accepted 40,000 face masks from China -- a gift from "sister city" Changsha that came this week in boxes decorated with U.S. and Chinese flags alongside cheery messages like, "Go, City of Annapolis!" and "True unity inspires people to work as one." Anybody else see anything wrong with this picture?

Pope Francis uses COVID-19 pandemic to call for end to ‘individualism’

Pope Francis, in the context of speaking about the coronavirus pandemic, called on the faithful of the world to rise up, unite and put a stop to all this "personal and collective individualism" that's going on. Just stop it, he said. Just stop this "individualism" nonsense right now. Well, we all knew this guy was a closet communist, right?

Connecticut’s crazy excessive coronavirus fines

Connecticut's ruling political elites have just issued fines in the total of $3,000 to a couple of citizens who didn't comply with all the state's coronavirus-related travel guidelines. Guidelines? Let's be serious. These are dictates -- and constitutional or not, by gosh, they're being enforced.

Kamala Harris jumps to VP attention, choking on hypocrisy

Sen. Kamala Harris is Joe Biden's pick for vice president. But Sen. Kamala Harris thinks Joe Biden is a woman-groper. So much for women's rights? "I believe them," Harris said in April of 2019, of the women who came forward to accuse Biden of inappropriate touching.

Democrats need disastrous economy to keep Joe Biden afloat

If America's economy is on the upswing, the Democrats don't stand a chance in you-know-where of taking the White House this November. That's a fact, Jack.

Joe Biden hasn’t the stamina for four years

The reason Joe Biden's pick for vice president is being watched so closely is that most voters think he won't make it through a full four-year White House term and that it's his second-in-charge who will ultimately lead the country. That's not anecdotal, water-cooler gossip. That's polled fact. So says Rasmussen in its latest survey.

Bill Gates whines Team Trump won’t listen to him

Bill Gates is the smartest guy in the room, nay, on the planet, and he wants everybody to know it. How else to explain his feigned incredulity on CNN of America's coronavirus test process to that of other nations? Let's remember: Gates is a computer guy. He's not actually a medical expert.

Coronavirus test positives a big whoop over nothing

Every day, every hour, every news source in America blasts out the latest coronavirus test case positives. But -- and this is a serious question -- so what? If this were a virus by a different name, if this were a different political climate, test positives wouldn't raise national eyebrows.

California county touts socialist cash giveaway to get COVID-19ers to stay home

A county in California, Alameda, to be exact, is planning to hand out checks in the amount of $1,250 for lower-income residents who test positive for COVID-19 as an incentive to get them to stay home. Hmm. Let's see. What could possibly go wrong there? It's welfare dressed as coronavirus relief.

John Roberts ‘anti-Trump,’ says SCOTUS insider

Carrie Severino, a former Supreme Court clerk who now heads up the Judicial Crisis Network and who helped pen a bestselling book on the takedown of Brett Kavanaugh, said on "Fox & Friends" that Vice President Mike Pence is right to criticize the chief justice because, by all appearances, John Roberts seems decidedly "anti-Trump."

America’s closed schools will widen haves, have-nots gap

What of the vulnerable children of the country who don't have instant Wi-Fi access, who don't have computers at their fingertips, who don't have family lives that correspond well with at-home and virtual learning?

Virginia leaps into contact tracing technology

Virginia has become the first state in the nation to offer for download a contact tracing Apple and Google API app aimed at stopping and slowing the spread of the coronavirus. And so it begins: One of modern government's cleverest means of tracking and surveilling its people, and all for the good health of the people, to boot.

CDC floats next health scare, post-coronavirus

Just in time for the new school year, virtual as it may be, comes a new warning of a new fright for parents to deal with, and more likely than not, wait for it, wait for it, for government to cite as justification to keep schools closed, and maybe even churches and more -- and it's one that goes like this: Acute flaccid myelitis.

Susan Rice, VP contender, wants to ‘re-imagine’ away the police

Susan Rice, former national security adviser and potential Joe Biden vice president pick, said police need a massive "re-imaging" -- meaning, a total rework. Meaning, a total reshaping. Meaning, a total collapse. "Re-imagining" is code for watering law enforcement to the point where they're no longer law enforcement.
