Franklin Graham sees 2023 and beyond as ‘worse’

The Rev. Franklin Graham said in the lead-up to New Year's that the world is "imploding," wars and violence are everywhere, socialism is spreading, and "anti-God agendas" are coming out of the closet, fast and furious. Be prepared for an even more turbulent 2023, he warned.

Pete Buttigieg, inept and incapable, personifies ‘Democrat’

Transportation's Pete Buttigieg is fielding some much-needed fire for his epic fail to address the airline crisis keeping good citizens in states of various abandonment at airports around the nation. But the most interesting critics are those expressing surprise over his fail-to-act.

Science roars back to Twitter life

Elon Musk, in a tweet, wrote: "New Twitter policy is to follow the science, which necessarily includes reasoned questioning of the science." Finally. Real science -- not the Anthony Fauci brand, but real, actual, genuine science -- is making a comeback.

SCOTUS Title 42 stay is rock and hard place for Constitution

The U.S. Supreme Court, by a vote of 5-4, granted a request from 19 states to keep in place for the time being Title 42, a COVID-19 era policy to speedily turn back migrants at the border. That's good for border control. That's bad for sticklers of constitutional principle.

Kamala Harris and her Christmas coal bag of migrants

Democrats are in an uproar after Gov. Greg Abbott sent 130 migrants to Vice President Kamala Harris's home in Washington, D.C., on Christmas Eve, saying the Texas GOPer is "worthless," a "POS," and so forth and so on and so forth. Harris likes her figgy pudding in peace, it seems.

In this undated photo, provided by NY Governor's Press Office on Saturday March 27, 2021, is the new "Excelsior Pass" app, a digital pass that people can download to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test. Vaccine passports being developed to verify COVID-19 immunization status and allow inoculated people to more freely travel, shop and dine have become the latest flash point in America’s perpetual political wars, with Republicans portraying them as a heavy-handed intrusion into personal freedom and private health choices.

Social credits, digital passports and other coming totalitarian evils

China's social credit system where individuals cannot move about freely without showing their green, government-approved checkmarks will come to America's lands on the wings of fear, on the hope for safety and security, on the promises of government to provide safety and security.

Musk has sold nearly $23 billion worth of Tesla stock since April, with much of the money likely going to help fund his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke) ** FILE **

Elon Musk better get lots of armed guards

Elon Musk better get some good armed security, but fast. When leftists get angry, things get broken -- things like store windows, private properties, police vehicles, people's bones.

Twitter shadow banning — wink, wink — a real thing after all

The latest in a string of intriguing files released by Twitter's Elon Musk via two journalists shows that "shadow banning" was real, it was targeted and it was frequent, and that conservatives were the ones normally caught in the crossfire. Well, well, well. Sunshine shines at last

Homosexuality is still a sin

The courts, Congress, the LGBTQ community, politicians and activists from all walks of life can call same-sex marriage a legal thing, an acceptable thing, a real thing. But God in the Bible still calls homosexuality a sin. And that's what it remains.

Great Reset coming fast and furious for the farmers, for food

Thousands of farmers in the Netherlands are facing a government mandate to close their farms or, come next year, lose their farms -- why? This is the latest globalist takeover of individual rights using environmentalism as the reason.

Elon Musk, the great Twitter Disruptor-In-Chief

Elon Musk, in just a few short weeks as chief of Twitter, has cleared house of key officials who've been outed for shutting down voices on the platform that countered the leftist view. He's doing for Twitter what Donald Trump did for America vs. the deep state.

Pfizer, BioNTech now siccing experimental COVID shots on babies

Pfizer asked the FDA -- again, under an emergency use authorization -- to OK a new COVID-19-tied experimental shot, err, oops, vaccine for, get this, little kids, ages 6 months through 4 years old. Get 'em while they're young! That's the slogan of street dealers, too.

BlackRock gets a much-needed face slap

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis rocked headlines with an announced intent to pull $2 billion of investments with BlackRock over the firm's Environment, Social and Governance, or ESG, standards. The woke firm run by woke CEO Larry Fink is finally facing some much-needed fire.

The 22nd FIFA World Cup has a total of 16 official sponsors and partners -- and six of them are Chinese companies. This maybe isn't so much a World Cup as it is a China Cup.

Production personnel perform a visual inspection of filled vaccine vials inside the Incepta plant on the outskirts of Dhaka in Bangladesh Saturday Feb. 13, 2021. In an industrial neighborhood on the outskirts of Bangladesh's largest city lies a factory with gleaming new equipment imported from Germany, its immaculate hallways lined with hermetically sealed rooms. Yet the factory is operating at just a quarter of its capacity. It is one of three factories that The Associated Press found on three continents whose owners say they could start producing hundreds of millions of COVID-19 vaccines on short notice if only they had the blueprints and technical know-how.

Radicals seek to slice carbon footprint of surgeries

It's not enough that radical environmentalists have gone after planes, trains, automobiles, the military and meat. Now they're entering hospital operating rooms, calling out the places where the sickly go to heal and be healed as cesspools of pollution.
