Anthony Fauci should explain ‘$3.7 million to the Wuhan laboratory’

President Donald Trump's legal counsel, Rudy Giuliani, suggested a good U.S. attorney general move about now would be to investigate key members of the past Barack Obama administration on the Wuhan, China, laboratory, to see what they knew and when they knew it. And then he mentioned Anthony Fauci specifically.

Founding Fathers rolling in graves at the COVID-19 constitutional crisis

The Founders would be shocked to see America, circa COVID-19 2020. In fact, they're probably rolling in their graves right now, watching the Constitution they so carefully created -- with regard for individual rights as bestowed by God, not government -- being crushed by a hammer of coronavirus fears. Especially on fears that are so far misplaced.

Chicken killing sounds alarm on coronavirus threats to freedom

A farmer in Minnesota told the Star Tribune he had to kill 61,000 of his chickens because the coronavirus crisis had dried up demand for their eggs and he had no way to continue feeding them. Open the freaking country already. America must maintain self-sufficiency with the food supply, if Americans are to remain free.

Gretchen Whitmer shows folly of executive orders

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the "I am zee law!" lady of American politics, is poised to lose some of her powers, as legislators say they're going to intervene and vote and reel her in a bit. Well, ain't that about time. Executives aren't kings. Legislators hold the true authority in determining the extent of executive powers.

On Friday, April 17, 2020, more than a dozen Iowa elected officials asked Tyson to close the pork processing plant because of the spread of the coronavirus among its workforce of nearly 3,000 people.

Coronavirus a Groundhog Day for the political world

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's director, Dr. Robert Redfield, said during a press conference at the White House that this fall, Americans could experience a complicated flu-slash-coronavirus season of sickness and to be on guard. How convenient for Democrats. Just in time for Election Day.

Georgia governor defies CYA to be beacon of good coronavirus leadership

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is taking a lot of heat for daring to go where no other state has gone before -- and gasp! opening the state back up for business, even as the rest of the country's political leaders sit on coronavirus pins and needles. But what Kemp is really doing is something called Leadership.

Democrat governors, with coronavirus, tip hats of tyranny

Democrats, juiced by coronavirus, have really tipped their tyrannical hats. That's not to say they don't care about the coronavirus sufferers. But it is to say that leftists see disaster -- and say to themselves, hmm, maybe there's a win-win here.

Coronavirus and the smell of Saul Alinsky

Coronavirus, at its root, is being used as a tool for those with devilish designs to establish a new order, a new un-American, unconstitutional and unfree kingdom -- and that is the end game, like it or not. Wake up and smell the Alinsky; it's a key to keeping our country intact.

Gretchen Whitmer's orders to keep people at home and businesses locked during the new coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)

Civil disobedience can end the coronavirus stupidity

The happiest news to emerge in recent coronavirus weeks comes courtesy of videos showing the good citizens of Michigan, fed up with their tyrannical governor, taking to the streets in mass -- and maskless! -- to demand an end to the tyranny. The saddest news? The realization that it took so long for these types of protests to occur.

William Barr, a ray of light during dark coronavirus days

Attorney General William Barr has been magnificent in recent days. At a time of great constitutional distress, the attorney general is proving to be a calm, cool comfort who doesn't just preach a good message, but follows through and actually, well -- acts.

Bill Gates — oh, boohoo — rails at Trump for pulling WHO funding

Bill Gates, the Microsoft founder who recently cut all ties to his company so that he could focus in part on curing the world of disease -- such as through vaccines he funds -- just called out President Donald Trump's decision to pull U.S. funding from the World Health Organization as abysmal, "dangerous" and deadly. Oh, boohoo.

Anthony Fauci has a mad scientist vision to track, surveil American citizens

Anthony Fauci, on coronavirus, wants to implement a "contact tracing" program in America that will in effect set the stage for government to surveil its citizens. Only he describes it in such a kindly caring gentlemanly manner that it's not supposed to be noticed as nefarious and unAmerican and unconstitutional.

Cars travel along Interstate 97 in Glen Burnie, Md., Monday, April 6, 2020. America’s roads are a lot less congested, due to coronavirus shutdowns that have kept millions of commuters, shoppers and vacationers parked at their homes. While that makes it easier to patch potholes, it also could spell trouble for road and bridge projects, as revenue from tolls, fuel taxes and other user fees declines. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh)

Coronavirus case and death counts in U.S. ridiculously low

Do the math. That means 0.17 percent of America's population has been infected by the coronavirus. That means 0.007 percent of America's population has died from the coronavirus -- we think. For this, we tank an entire economy?

Walmart CEO pleads for people to stop stockpiling toilet paper

Walmart's CEO, Doug McMillon, said on a recent NBC "Today Show" televised segment that his company sold enough toilet paper in five days for every man, woman and child to have a roll. The Depression had its run on banks. Guess the modern day equivalent, coronavirus style, is a run on toilet paper.

World Health Organization, on North Korea, embarrasses itself

North Korea reported earlier this week that despite testing, and amid quarantining, not one confirmed case of the coronavirus has been found. Not one. This, despite the fact that North Korea's border countries, South Korea and China, have been hit hard by the virus. And the World Health Organization goes -- yep, that's right.

America, on coronavirus crisis: Fight now or forever hold the peace

Wake the freak up, America. Wake up and smell the crisis that's being used and not wasted. It's time to punch back on the prognosticators by insisting pols, pundits, the press and members of the medical community provide information that's truthful, in context, and -- how about this -- common sense.
