Rep. Ayanna Pressley and her insane call to ‘cancel debt’

Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Massachusetts Democrat and noted fourth in a socialist "squad" that includes fellow congressional members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, has just called for the outright cancellation of all forms of major debt. In so doing, she may have just secured the rights to the Crown of Insanity.

God save America (only God can save America)

The prevailing rule of thought in America is that the Second Amendment is the civil liberty right that underscores and preserves all the others. There's truth to that. But the Second Amendment won't help with this COVID-19 madness.

In this May 13, 2020, file photo, Public Health Madison and Dane County employees and members of the Wisconsin National Guard operate a drive-through testing facility for COVID-19 at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wis. Tracing the contacts of people who test positive is considered an important way to curb the pandemic. But online conspiracy theories about contact tracing have generated suspicion and mistrust.

America, it’s happening: Government is jailing COVID-19 patients at home

A Kentucky woman who tested positive for COVID-19 was ordered by health bureaucrats to stay at home -- and shackled with an ankle monitor to make she sure does. It's happening, America. Wake up and smell the contact tracing, the "new normal" that allows government to demand citizens "voluntarily" self-quarantine. Or else.

Joe Biden is America’s worst-case puppet

Joe Biden's campaign includes a manager, several press spokespeople, a couple of pollsters -- and a dedicated batch of young engineering interns whose sole mission is to devise clever wooden props that can secretly, behind the scope of the camera's eyes, keep his teetering and tottering to a minimum. That's to say: Biden is a puppet.

Graffiti is seen on the curb in front of Berkeley police headquarters seen on Wednesday, July 15, 2020, in Berkeley, Calif. The city of Berkeley, California, moved forward Wednesday with a proposal to eliminate police from conducting traffic stops and instead use unarmed civilian city workers as part of a broad overhaul of law enforcement.

Berkeley City Council rolls out red carpet for criminals

Berkeley City Council members, in all their wisely owl wisdom, just voted in a reform bill for police that requires them to stop issuing traffic tickets and that will, over the course of time, cut their departmental budgets by 50%. And all the criminals and would-be criminals go: Yay!

Donald Trump is the wall against anti-American globalism

If President Donald Trump doesn't win this November, and former Vice President Joe Biden takes over the White House, then it's goodbye America, hello globalism. Goodbye America, hello new world order. It doesn't get any clearer than that.

This Nov. 17, 2019, file photo shows Kanye West on stage during a service at Lakewood Church in Houston. The government's small business lending program has benefited millions of companies, with the goal of minimizing the number of layoffs Americans have suffered in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. Yet the recipients include many you probably wouldn't have expected. West’s clothing-and-sneaker brand Yeezy received a loan of between $2 million and $5 million, according to the data released by Treasury. The company employed 106 people in mid-February before the pandemic struck. (AP Photo/Michael Wyke, File)

Kanye West and the great PPP bamboozle

Kanye West is a billionaire -- and not the quiet kind. The loud, look-at-me, I've got a billion bucks to my name kind. The bragging, boasting, I-just-confirmed-a-deal-for-a mega-mansion-in-Wyoming kind. He's also the recipient of a multimillion dollar taxpayer-funded PPP business loan. Call it the great PPP bamboozle.

DeSean Jackson’s anti-Semitic posts show troubling double standard

Philadelphia Eagles' wide receiver DeSean Jackson went on social media and posted some outrageous anti-Semitic comments attributed to Adolph Hitler and the response from the collective in the left-leaning media and activist and political worlds was: yawn. Oh Democrats, thy name is hypocrisy. Where is the loud leftist calls for apology?

In this Monday, March 9, 2020, file photo, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, second left, director-general of the World Health Organization, speaks during a news conference on updates regarding the new coronavirus at WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. At left is Michael Ryan, executive director of WHO's Health Emergencies program, and at third left is Maria van Kerkhove, technical lead of WHO's Health Emergencies program. Two days later, the WHO declared the new coronavirus a pandemic, suggesting the disease is spreading across the globe unchecked. WHO staffers debated how to press China for gene sequences and detailed patient data without angering authorities, worried about losing access and getting Chinese scientists into trouble. (Salvatore Di Nolfi/Keystone via AP)

Scientists long ago exhausted their COVID-19 capital

Hundreds of scientists have joined forces and penned a letter to the World Health Organization chiefs to get an official, authoritative ruling that the new coronavirus is airborne, meaning transmitted by breathing contaminated air. Well, ba dum dum on that. Salt, meet grain. Why should we listen to these charlatans any longer?

Donald Trump’s garden of heroes good — but civics class is better

The new National Garden of American Heroes proposed by President Donald Trump is a patriotic and interesting idea. But better would be if Trump used his executive powers to compel public schools around the nation to teach civics' classes, or else lose funding.

In this March 29, 2020, file photo, a protester faces police officers in downtown in Portland, Ore. Portland, Oregon, a liberal city with a reputation for full-throated and frequent protests, is reeling from the nightly chaos in its streets and on Wednesday, June 3, 2020, its visibly frustrated police chief appealed to residents to help stop "those who are holding our city with violence." For five consecutive nights, smaller groups of demonstrators have broken off from peaceful and well-organized protests that have attracted thousands and engaged with police into the wee hours.

America groans under the weight of disunity

The discord in this country has reached eerily high levels in recent times, and it's a wonder if amicable relations among differing communities, differing demographics, differing cultures can ever be restored.

Jesus as lesbian is Hollywood’s next affront

Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson, has a starring role in an upcoming movie, "Habit," as the character of Jesus -- as a lesbian. Could the assault on Christianity grow more ridiculous?

Socialism and secularism linked at the choke point

As former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn noted in an excellent op-ed: It's a battle of principalities taking place out there, all right, and the sooner freedom-loving Americans recognize these "dark forces" as the true enemy, the sooner freedom-loving Americans can get on with the business of winning back the country.

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan met with demonstrators Friday after some lay in the street or sat on barricades to thwart the city's effort to dismantle the protest zone that has drawn scorn from President Donald Trump and a lawsuit from nearby businesses.

Jenny Durkan, decrying socialist lawlessness, now reaps what she sows

Seattle's Jenny Durkan, the Democrat who let thugs take over city streets has accused City Council socialist Kshama Sawant of inciting behavior that led to a swarming of demonstrators inside City Hall and at Durkan's own home. And she wants an investigation; for Sawant to possibly be expelled. This is about as tit-for-tat as it gets.
