United Nations is coming for your religion

If any government had a vested interest in plowing forth a secularized society, it's the power-hungry bloated elites of the United Nations. Beware the "wolves in sheep's clothing," the Bible teaches. Beware the United Nations' teachings on religions.

Now in power, they may not pass any reform measures because of internal party divisions. (AP Photo/Steve Helber)

Virginia illegals poised to get driving privileges

Answer this, please: How come for the legal citizens of America, driving is a privilege, but for illegals, apparently, in Virginia, anyway, to Virginia Democrats, anyway, driving is a right?

Louie Gohmert, Steve King say whistleblower Philip Haney was ‘murdered’

Reps. Louie Gohmert and Steve King delivered under-the-radar but shockingly powerful statements from the House floor that went like this: Homeland Security whistleblower Philip Haney, found dead of what authorities deemed a suicide, was actually murdered. Dub this the Next Story To Be Ignored By The Major Media.

Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer of N.Y. speaks to abortion rights demonstrators at a rally outside the Supreme Court, in Washington, Wednesday, March 4, 2020, as the court takes up the first major abortion case of the Trump era Wednesday, an election-year look at a Louisiana dispute that could reveal how willing the more conservative court is to roll back abortion rights.

Chuck Schumer, a thug like all the other Democrats

Much ado has been made about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's recent tirade against two Supreme Court justices, during which he told them a "whirlwind" was coming and they'd soon "pay the price" for their votes. But this is just par for the course with Democrats in general.

White House, Warren Farrell mull fix to ‘boy crisis’

Warren Farrell, co-author of "The Boy Crisis," says America has a problem with males and it's one that goes like this: They're not being raised to be men. And how true that is. Today's boys are being taught that masculinity is a disease. He's reached out to the White House with a proposed "MAFGA" fix.

Bernie Sanders’ youths abandoned him for the bong

Sen. Bernie Sanders is finding out the hard way that getting the young people to come to a rally is one thing; getting them to the ballot boxes is entirely another. And for a generation being raised at a time when half the states have either legalized or decriminalized recreational marijuana smoking, one has to wonder: Are they just too stoned to vote?

FISA court’s ban of Carter Page spy guys doesn’t go far enough

Federal agents who botched the whole Carter Page wiretapping process -- and by botched, of course, it's meant politicized and weaponized -- have been banned from pursuing spy permissions through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. And thank goodness for that. That's a common-sense move.

Bernie Sanders wins, even when he loses

If socialism is an evil, which it is, then pretending this election season could sound the death to socialism with a decisive Donald Trump victory would be both fallacy and foolish. Socialism, like other evils, doesn't disappear. It just morphs into something else.

Beto O’Rourke is back and bobbing for Joe Biden

Beto O'Rourke, the arm-bouncing, cadence jabbering Howdy Doody of Texas -- the white Barack Obama, as some affectionately dubbed -- has come out of hiding and come back to politics. He's bobbing for Biden.

Democrats treat black voters like they’re stupid

Democrats seem to be struggling with black voters. Has President Donald Trump, with his chugging economy and prison reform plan and immigration control stolen the left's thunder? Could be. But speaking to blacks on the campaign trail shouldn't have to drift into rapper shake-the-booty land. Honestly, it's not that tough.

Pete Buttigieg exits, but Democratic field remains insane

Pete Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has dropped his run for the White House, opening doors for former Vice President Joe Biden to take his votes, or maybe Sen. Bernie Sanders, or former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, or one of the women, Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren. It's a real potatoes, potahtoes moment for Democrats. Buttigieg was Bernie is Bloomberg is Biden is -- etc., etc., etc.

Big Brother grows alarmingly bigger

Once upon a time, America was free. Now, it's not so free. And this story out of Coral Gables, Florida, about a man's court fight to rid his community of a privacy-dinging, constitutionally questionable automated license plate reader program, helps explain why.

Larry Kudlow at CPAC: ‘The Lord loves free enterprise’

Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council -- meaning he's the key White House money policy guy -- said at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, while sharing the stage with Ivanka Trump, that this election is, simply put, a pit of capitalism against socialism.

Bernie Sanders, Communist Cuba’s newest newspaper tool

A newspaper in Cuba has seized on Bernie Sanders' kind comments about its authoritarian leadership literacy program and and used them for propaganda purposes to show how even a member of the U.S. government can sees the good in the Gestapo-esque. Hmm. Who would've seen that coming, right?

Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun activism casts cold chill

Michael Bloomberg's gun control group, Everytown for Gun Safety, is pouring millions upon millions upon millions of dollars into the 2020 elections -- $60 million to be exact, with $8 million alone slated just for Texas. And while leftists may cheer, fact is, freedom-minded Americans should be feeling the chill.

The standard is the Constitution

The Democratic Party has been corrupted by socialist influences -- no doubt about that. But what's interesting is a) the Democrats brought this on themselves and b) the fact that they did has made all of America focus on the debate between democratic socialism, versus socialism, versus communism, versus whatever. We need not, however.

Donald Trump would ‘KO’ Bernie Sanders, says Rasmussen

In a Rasmussen kind of world, in a Rasmussen kind of scenario, President Donald Trump would crush Sen. Bernie Sanders in a race for the White House if elections were held today. Two thumbs up to the man in the MAGA hat.

Bernie Sanders stumbles on ‘authoritarian’ socialism

Even Van Jones couldn't believe Sen. Bernie Sanders didn't do a better job on the Democratic debate stage with the "socialism question" and explaining why the particular brand he favors won't lead to, well, death. Honestly, that's 'cause he can't. Socialism is to America like a square peg is to a round hole.
