GOP’s ‘Commitment to America’ should be God-given rights

So House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy unveiled a new Republican guiding document called the "Commitment to America." Well and good. But the best commitment the GOP could make is to recognize the God-given rights that each and every American is supposedly afforded.

Air Force goes full throttle pansy

Air Force cadets are being told to stop using words like "mom" and "dad" to describe their moms and dads because "some families" have "two moms, two dads" and it's best to "include all genders," even the made-up ones, it seems. Yet one more example of America's woke military.

Donald Trump’s persecutors ratchet up persecution

New York AG Letitia James filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump, his children, and the Trump Organization, alleging all fraudulently inflated the value of properties. Why are the Democrats so bent on destroying this family? You'd think Trump was running for president or something.

Biden talks softly, as Putin carries big stick

Joe Biden is a lot of things -- husband, father, president of the United States, commander-in-chief of America's military forces. But strong leader, he ain't. And few know that better than Russian President Vladimir Putin, who's been busily invading Ukraine these past months.

Biden’s ‘hardly at all’ inflation is crippling U.S economy

Average inflation under Donald Trump's presidency was 2.1% in 2017; 2.4% in 2018; 1.8% in 2019; and 1.2% in 2020, according to USInflationCalculator.com. Average inflation for President Biden was 4.7% for all of 2021, followed by a steady uptick through this September, 8.3%. Any questions?

Virginia schools, under GOP control, sideline LGBTQ insanity

Virginia's Republican-controlled Department of Education put out new guidelines that would force students to use the bathrooms and changing areas that correspond with their birth sex. Finally. Some sanity being restored to public schooling.

American Exceptionalism at risk as Christianity losing ranks

If recent religion trends continue, the population of self-professing Christians in America will fall below the 50% level by the year 2070, Pew Research Center predicted in a newly released report. There goes America's freedoms. There goes American Exceptionalism.

Operation ‘Trump Takedown’ swings into high gear

Only a few more weeks are left before the November midterms and Democrats are swept from office. So the deep state has swung into high gear to take down as many MAGA-types as possible -- the latest, of course, being Mike Lindell. Welcome to the new America.

Republicans, Democrats agree: Doomsday, civil war loom large

Half of Republicans and almost a third of Democrats believe America is hurtling toward catastrophe -- specifically, a civil war, according to a new YouGov poll. Well, with a Democratic Party like this one -- of course.

China’s going to the moon, Biden’s moaning at MAGA

China just announced it was planning three missions to the moon after discovering a new mineral, Changesite-(Y), that could be the future of the world's energy. President Joe Biden? Oh, well, he's busily attacking Donald Trump supporters. So there is that.

A Democrat allegedly murders a reporter — and the media goes ‘shhh’

Hey, did you hear the one about the MAGA man who fatally stabbed a journalist who had been investigating his scandalous behaviors? No. You didn't. 'Cause that never happened. What did happen, though, was just that -- only the suspected knife-wielder was a Democratic politician.

Geraldo Rivera, gimme a break

Geraldo Rivera of Fox News fame took to social media to backstab, er, fault Donald Trump for his "undermine" of America's "faith in our elections," and said: "Without fealty to the Constitution, we're 2d rate." Say hello to Geraldo, America's Constitution expert. Not.

A page from the order granting a request by former President Donald Trump's legal team to appoint a special master to review documents seized by the FBI during a search of his Mar-a-Lago estate is photographed Monday, Sept. 5, 2022. The decision by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon came despite the objections of the Justice Department, which said an outside legal expert was not necessary in part because officials had already completed their review of potentially privileged documents. (AP Photo/Jon Elswick)

DOJ water carriers are oh so full of it

Leftists, if nothing else, are astonishingly hypocritical. Just look at how they reacted to District Judge Aileen Cannon and her special master ruling, versus Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart and his signing of the search warrant for Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.

Biden does not represent the dream of America

President Joe Biden, against a blood red background that included a couple parade-rest Marines as part of the visual messaging, delivered an angry condemnation of MAGA conservatives as a "clear and present" danger to America. It's like Biden was channelling his inner Benito Mussolini.

GOP’s ‘impeach Biden’ path grows wider

Some Republicans are trying to impeach President Biden for "high crimes" over his botched withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, his border failures and his tyrannical coronavirus clampdowns. And some other stuff, too; the list keeps growing.

Cashless society steps closer to reality

The percentage of adults in America who use physical dollars and cents for their purchases is dramatically down in recent years, with only 13% saying in a Gallup survey that they use cash "all" or "most" all of the time. Make way for more losses of privacy, for more government controls.

FDA boldly bows to Big Pharma at Americans’ expense

A Wall Street Journal headline went this way: "Latest Covid Boosters Are Set to Roll Out Before Human Testing Is Completed." And with that goes the last of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ethics.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart ordered the Justice Department to make public a redacted version of the affidavit it relied on when federal agents searched Trump's estate to look for classified documents. (AP Photo/Jon Elswick)

Affidavit only adds to image of FBI as tool of the left

The Justice Department released its redacted version of the 38-page affidavit used as justification to search the home of Donald Trump, and as expected, questions remain. Namely: Why did the FBI have to search the home of Donald Trump in the first place? We still don't know.
