Anthony Fauci, then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testifies during a hearing in Washington, Sept. 14, 2022. Fauci, who left the government in 2022, is facing heated questioning from Republican lawmakers about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. The top U.S. infectious disease expert until 2022, Fauci was grilled by the House panel behind closed doors in January. On Monday, June 3, 2024, they're questioning him again, in public and on camera. (AP Photo/Cliff Owen, File)

Fauci, still crazy after all these years

Had the concept of God-given individual rights and liberties been in play during the coronavirus years, America never would have reached the point where then-COVID policy czar Anthony Fauci was allowed to dictate-while-pretending-Not-To-Dictate how free citizens live their lives.

America, due to Democrats, is utterly torn by talk of ‘civil war’

In the wake of 12 jurors ridiculously finding Donald Trump guilty of 34 felony counts for crimes that had they even have been committed, would have been misdemeanors at best -- talk of civil war looming in America has returned in full force. This is the world the Democrats bring.

Biden’s secret launch of World War III

As the eyes of the world were on Donald Trump in the Manhattan courtroom, Joe Biden gave a quiet presidential permission for Ukraine to use American weapons and launch a strike inside Russia, to protect the border city of Kharkiv. World War III, anyone?

Vice President Kamala Harris speaks as President Joe Biden listens in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, Monday, May 13, 2024, during a reception celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. President Biden said Sunday he is dropping out of the race against former President Donald Trump, ceding to unrelenting pressure from Democrats who said his declining abilities and poll numbers would drag down the party and imperil the nation.

Biden’s 12th-hour race to reclaim Black voters

President Biden, with Vice President Kamala Harris in tow, kicked off a cross-country tour to beg, err, remind Black voters to vote for him this November. He's doing that because increasingly polls are showing Black voters don't want to vote for him this November. Tick, tock. Time is a-tickin'.

The image provided by U.S, Central Command, shows U.S. Army soldiers assigned to the 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary), U.S. Navy sailors assigned to Amphibious Construction Battalion 1, and Israel Defense Forces placing the Trident Pier on the coast of Gaza Strip on Thursday, May 16, 2024. The temporary pier is part of the Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore capability. The U.S. military finished installing the floating pier on Thursday, with officials poised to begin ferrying badly needed humanitarian aid into the enclave besieged over seven months of intense fighting in the Israel-Hamas war. (U.S. Central Command via AP)

Sinking pier perfect symbol of Biden presidency

President Biden ordered the U.S. military to build a $320 million floating pier to serve as a provision point for aid to Palestinians in Gaza. And now it's sinking. Of course it's sinking. Truly, is there a better symbol for the Biden administration than the pier that's sinking in waters off Gaza?

Bold & Blunt: Optimism during dark Joe Biden times

It's one thing to stay on the sunny side of life when life is itself sunny. It's another thing entirely to stay on the sunny side when darkness prevails. And that's just what this current Joe Biden administration is bringing to America and to the world: Darkness. So how to stay optimistic?

Honoring evil dishonors God

The United Nations lowered its flag to half-staff while all representatives of the Security Council joined in a moment of silence for the "Butcher of Tehran" -- the now-dead Iranian president, Ebrahim Raisi. Another show of this White House's lack of moral clarity.

Biden waves another magic student debt-erasing wand

President Biden is busily buying votes, err, canceling college student debt because he's down in the polls, err, concerned about the youth population. He's got to do something because November beckons and nobody wants to vote for him.

The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor said Monday, May 20, 2024, that he’s seeking arrest warrants for both Israeli and Hamas leaders in connection with their actions during the 7-month war.

ICC, Iran, take note: Those who curse Israel will be cursed

The International Criminal Court signed arrest warrants for the leaders of Hamas for atrocities against the Jewish people, and then, in what should be seen as a sick joke but is not, issued the same for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defense minister, Yoav Gallant. Take a warning, ICC.

Fake eyelashes, fake outrage: Democrats need to man up

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is fielding fire because she snarked at a fellow House member, namely, Democrat Jasmine Crockett, that her "fake eyelashes" were quite possibly preventing her from seeing clearly. But Greene didn't throw the first dart. Crockett did.

Michael Cohen, center right, departs his apartment building on his way to Manhattan criminal court, Thursday, May 16, 2024, in New York. The prosecutors’ star witness in the hush money case against former President Donald Trump is returning to the witness stand as defense lawyers try to chip away at Cohen’s crucial testimony implicating the former president. (AP Photo/Andres Kudacki)

Liar, liar, Michael Cohen’s pants on fire

We can't have a country where politically ambitious scum buckets like Michael Cohen who register zero on the morality Richter scale are able to drag people they detest into court and run sham trials aimed at cowing them into silence and destroying their lives, and the lives of their families. That's what communist countries do.

WHO pandemic treaty utterly unacceptable for America

The World Health Organization is finalizing with its partner states the details of a pandemic treaty that is supposed to protect the citizens of the globe from future COVID-like devastations. America's only suitable response is to tell the WHO to take a hike.

Bold & Blunt: How to share God without seeming a nut

One of a Christian's biggest fears is sharing the gospel with others. Willie Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" fame has a new book, "Gospeler," that teaches how to share the good news with others, without feeling embarrassed or uncomfortable.
