God looms large as 2024 election factor

Voters who wear their faith on their sleeves are looking for the next president to set religious freedom as a priority -- and they don't mind the next commander-in-chief being open about belief in God, either. Move over, Bill Clinton; today's phrase is now 'it's the religious freedom, stupid.'

Joe Biden impeachment articles have merit

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene this week announced plans to file articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden because of his failures to enforce America's borders. Unlike the fabrications that went into the impeachments of Donald Trump, the claims against Biden are true blue.

Bud Light — sorry: ‘Queer beer’ tag here to stay

Bud Light, facing massive consumer backlash for its brand partnership with pretend woman Dylan Mulvaney, has announced a redesign that drapes its cans in camouflage print -- an apparent tribute to a charity that benefits the children of fallen soldiers. Good charity. Bogus public relations move.

Special counsel John Durham, the prosecutor appointed to investigate potential government wrongdoing in the early days of the Trump-Russia probe, arrives at the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse, Monday, May 16, 2022, in Washington. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci) ** FILE **

Durham confirms: FBI targeted Trump for witch hunt

If Americans can't trust their federal law enforcement and investigative agencies to act in manners that protect the Constitution, then these agencies must be shattered and disposed of -- or at the very least, reorganized at leadership levels.

Brittney Griner, post-Russia jailing, now loves America

Perhaps America should send all its young knee-bending, pig-sock-wearing, Hands Up, Don't Shoot displaying, Black Lives Matter slogan-slinging professional athletes to Russia for some good old-fashioned jail time. They leave hating America. They return respecting America. That's woke for ya.

A person eats in London on Oct. 17, 2007. The World Health Organization says the number of heavy people in Europe has hit “epidemic proportions,” with nearly 60% of adults and one third of children weighing in as either overweight or obese.

Fat people can fly! — and other delusions of Democrats

New York City Council members just passed a bill banning employers, public transportation officials and housing authorities from factoring in heights and weights of individuals as part of the decision making process for their various areas of jurisdiction. This is paving the path for more leftist delusions.

Globalists are not done exploiting COVID, not by a long shot

COVID may have been taken off the emergency, emergency, emergency list. But it's still going to be used as a platform for bureaucrats to issue controls. And it just so happens, WHO just updated its COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan. How handy. How dandy. How top-down controlling.

Trump would wipe floor with Biden

A new poll from ABC and The Washington Post shows Donald Trump trouncing Joe Biden in a 2024 presidential matchup, 45-38. Even Democrats are biting their nails on this one.

WHO’s ‘health equity’ will kill American liberty

The World Health Organization pushed for "renewed action on health equity," a phrase the bureaucrats like to sling to divide people by classes -- the haves versus have nots -- and then to exploit by fostering the anger of the have nots to grow government's power as provider.

HHS Xavier Becerra makes play to destroy 2nd Amendment

Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra reportedly called gun violence, in the aftermath of an Atlanta shooting, a "public health crisis" -- a label the left has been trying to affix for some time so as to sidestep the Constitution and put the Second Amendment in the hands of medical bureaucrats to control.

America’s rise of the leftist ignorants

Oklahoma. Tennessee. Colorado. Montana. Texas. Leftists have obviously decided that the way to win political battles is to drown out debate and dumb down the legislative process. That figures. Most leftists are toddlers in adult bodies, devoid of critical thinking skills and passionate only for the fleshly.

Platforms don’t lie: Democrat is socialist is communist

Election season dawns and with that, the normal political showdowns of Republican versus Democrat. But check the party platforms. Whereas Republicans talk Constitution and freedom and American values, Democrats talk the Communist Party USA talk. Democrats walk the Socialist Party USA walk.

Sanctuary Chicago begs Texas: Please, no more illegals!

Lori Lightfoot, the Second Amendment hating Democrat mayor of sanctuary city Chicago who just lost her bid for reelection, sent a letter to Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pleading with him to stop sending illegals her way. Typical Democrat. What's good for me is certainly not good for thee.

U.S. military in deep, Democrat doo-doo

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told Senate Armed Services Committee members that she's A-OK with the military going full-blown electrical. And all the communists in China go -- yay. It's China, after all, that's a leading seller of the core elements needed for electrically energized vehicles.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, speaks during a press briefing at the White House, Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2022, in Washington.

(AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)

Fauci is fooling only himself

Dr. Anthony Fauci, for all his fancy explanations and even fancier dances of obfuscations, is probably the leading person to blame for the COVID lockdowns, clampdowns, seizures of individual liberties and ridiculous forced face masking. Don't be taken by his lies.

K.A. Chacko, 85, spends time reading the Bible at the Signature senior living facility in Kochi, Kerala state, India, March 6, 2023.

The most literate state in India, Kerala is also the fastest aging part of the country. Declining fertility and increasing longevity have been contributing to the demographic shifts in the State.

Faith falters in face of COVID, leaving America vulnerable

The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University took a look at faith in America, post-COVID-19, and found: Fewer now believe they have a God-given purpose for life, and fewer now hold human life to be sacred. This bodes darkly for the future of American liberty.

Fox News, the next Bud Light

Fox News announced its top ranked, ratings' star host Tucker Carlson has left the cable channel in what was initially described as an agreeable parting of the ways. Later reports suggested Carlson may not have been so agreeable in the parting. Then shares of Fox sank by 5%.

Democrat, socialist pretend on MSNBC to understand free speech

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went on MSNBC over the weekend for an interview with former White House spokesperson Jen Psaki about the Fox News v. Dominion Voting System lawsuit, free speech and whether Tucker Carlson is inciting violence. It's so propaganda it puts propaganda to shame.
