Former President Donald Trump leaves Trump Tower in New York on Tuesday, April 4, 2023. Only 4 in 10 U.S. adults believe Trump acted illegally in New York, where he has been charged in connection with hush money payments made to women who alleged sexual encounters, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. More — about half — believe he broke the law in Georgia, where he is under investigation for interfering in the 2020 election vote count. (AP Photo/Bryan Woolston, File)

Trump naysayers would’ve condemned Solomon, David, Daniel, Rahab, too

There's a running theme about Donald Trump that goes like this: He hasn't a chance; his time is through; he's his own worst enemy. And so forth. Then there's another theme Trump himself brings to the table that goes like this: Bite me. And guess which side has been proven right time and time again?

San Jose church punished for standing strong to COVID stupid

Calvary Chapel San Jose has been ordered by a Superior Court judge to pay $1.2 million for violating the Santa Clara County's coronavirus-tied orders, which included forced face masking and bans on indoor worship. Fined for fighting stupid -- welcome to the Democrats' world.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, arrives to speak about the coronavirus in the James Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House, April 22, 2020, in Washington. Fauci steps down from a five-decade career in public service at the end of the month, one shaped by the HIV pandemic early on and the COVID-19 pandemic at the end. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File)

The walls are finally closing in on Anthony Fauci

The more Republicans in the GOP-dominated House pick and probe, the more Anthony Fauci is revealed as a liar, liar, pants on fire. The walls are closing in on Fauci. And it's about dang time.

Cans of Bud Light beer are seen on Thursday, Jan. 10, 2019, in Washington. On Friday, April 7, 2023, The Associated Press reported on stories circulating online incorrectly claiming Anheuser-Busch fired its entire marketing department in response to its partnership with a transgender influencer and the rollout of LGBTQ Pride-themed Bud Light cans that feature various pronouns.

Bud Light — blech: Let the transgender consumers bail you out

Bud Light was already a crappy beer. But now they're a crappy beer with a crappy public relations message that caters to a 1% population that, curiously enough, probably didn't even drink the crappy beer in the first place -- the transgender community.

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden return to the White House after a weekend in Delaware following their visit to Ireland and Northern Ireland, in Washington, Sunday, April 16, 2023. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)

Joe Biden continues to fall in favor polls

If there's one consistent characteristic of this White House administration, it's the fact that the more Biden governs, the less people favor him; the more the people see of Biden, the less they like him; the longer Biden leads, the less people want him to lead.

Progressive Democrats have increasingly substituted the phrase for “mother” or “pregnant woman” for “birthing people." (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green)

Democrats, the media and their ‘birthing people’ nonsense

Lies and the lying liars who advance them. Birthing people, also known as females, are always females, never males. So why the need for the phrase in the first place? This is yet the next step in the LGBTQ-and-their-enablers' quest to cripple traditional family.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis answers questions from the media during a press conference at Christopher Columbus High School on Monday, March 27, 2023, in Miami. The press conference was held to announce DeSantis' signing of a private school voucher expansion, HB1, which allows more Florida school children to become eligible for taxpayer-funded school vouchers.

Florida, facing LGBTQ siege, is now the refuge for the sane

The more the LGBTQ community rages against Florida for Florida's sound and sensible laws and policies aimed at protecting the innocent and vulnerable, the more the message is sent far and wide: If you are of stable mind and freedom-loving bent -- come to the Sunshine State.

Dylan Mulvaney, fake female, is an offense to real women

Dylan Mulvaney is a man who pretends to be a woman and who, in this day and age of wrong being right and evil being good, has managed to win Bud Light and Nike brand ambassador-like favor for -- and this is the truth -- living a life of lies.

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith says quiet part out loud: Trump is not racist

Stephen A. Smith, ESPN analyst, said he's known for Donald Trump for years and that he's hardly the "racist" the Democrats and their allies in the media make him out to be. And since Smith himself is black, it won't be long before he becomes the victim of attacks by the left.

Harris came to support the two Democratic lawmakers, who were expelled from the Tennessee State Legislature. Jones was reinstated. (AP Photo/George Walker IV)

Tennessee thug lawmakers the dream of the Democrats

When today's Democrats can't get what they want, they turn to chaos and thuggery and seize bullhorns and bricks and take to the streets to march or take over offices to scream. When they're called to account for their chaotic uprisings, they quickly pivot and play the victim.

Soros sharks, fresh off feast of Trump, circle Clarence Thomas

A ProPublica look at Clarence Thomas found that for 20-plus years, the Supreme Court justice "has been treated to luxury vacations by billionaire Republican donor Harlan Crow." Hmm. Wonder why ProPublica decided to look into Thomas now. Could it be George Soros at it again?

German Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), arrives for the opening Davos Agenda 2022, in Cologny near Geneva, Switzerland, Monday, Jan. 17, 2022.

WEF tilts more pro-China with ‘Summer Davos’ set for Tianjin

The World Economic Forum has announced a "Summer Davos" of global elites at Tianjin in China, showing once again its willingness to work with communists to take over the world's governments. If only Joe Biden weren't president, this gathering wouldn't be so worrisome.

CNN legal analyst on Trump indictment: ‘Underwhelming’

Even Trump-hating, Trump-bashing CNN and its host of Trump-hating, Trump-bashing paid legal analysts can't get behind Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his courtroom witch hunt against the former president.

(Joe Cavaretta/South Florida Sun-Sentinel via AP)

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg must be held to account

William P. Barr, ex-attorney general of the United States -- and no Donald Trump sycophant -- called Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's indictment against the former president an "abomination," the "epitome of the abuse of prosecutorial power" and a classic textbook case example of "banana republic" politicking. Bragg must be held to account.

Trump indictment is greatest fundraising gift ever

Donald Trump supporters showered him with more than $5 million in donations within 48 hours of the announcement of his indictment -- $4 million of which came in the first 24 hours alone. Democrats think this indictment is devastating to Trump. Trump supporters say nope.

George Soros feigns innocence on anti-Trump D.A., Alvin Bragg

Soros may not have physically met with Bragg and slid him the yellow envelope of cash across a restaurant table. But Soros money found its way into Bragg's hands via the Color of Change PAC. For Soros to wash his hands now of Bragg, the radical he helped create, is dishonest.

Trump is for media what war is for economy

Donald Trump was just hit with the news a Manhattan grand jury has indicted him on charges that have yet to be made public and all the MAGA haters in the media go: Yay! Trump is the best bailout the failing CNN could hope to receive.

Truth-telling about Audrey Hale is not inciting violence

These LGBTQ activists and their fawning enablers are deranged. Their mental illness, post-Audrey Hale, is on full display. It's more important than ever to call out the mental illness -- the utter evil -- for what it is and not allow the sick in society to usurp the narrative.
