Free mortgages will be next

Joe Biden announced a sweeping student loan forgiveness program that wipes out tens of thousands of dollars. More socialism, more socialism, more socialism in American society. Biden didn't really cancel debt. He only redistributed the debt to hard-working Americans.

Striking Ohio teachers should be fired

Just days before classes are due to start, teachers for Ohio's largest school district, Columbus City, voted to go on strike. They should just stay out there. What this country needs is a good old-fashioned mass firing of unionized teachers. Call it a Ronald Reagan Redux, with a twist.

Joe Biden burning down the house

Three of four Americans -- about 75% -- think the nation, under Joe Biden's presidential leadership, is headed down the wrong path. So much for Biden's promised "build back better." He's not building anything. Quite the opposite: He's burning down the house.

Joe Biden to host anti-conservative summit

President Joe Biden said he's going to host a summit at the White House next month to address and put a stop to hate-fueled violence in the United States. Call this the Democrats' next step toward silencing conservatives in America.

Loser Liz Cheney — bless her heart — sees White House as option

Rep. Liz Cheney conceded her congressional race with a speech laced with lofty Civil War references, took to NBC's "Today" show to talk about her loss and then said yes, she was indeed "thinking about" a run for the White House. Bless her heart, as the southern folk like to say.

Sycophants, unite! It’s Trump-hunting time

With Mar-a-Lago, leftists have shown how far they're willing to go to kill the American spirit. So take a warning; learn a lesson. Hide the laptops, bury the personal safes, wear clean pajamas when climbing into bed at night. It's a dangerous deep state-police state world out there.

Afghanistan burns and Biden turns blind eyes

It's been about a year since the Joe Biden administration ceded Afghanistan to Taliban members who in turn promised the new nation would be free, even for women. Today? Today the nation burns while Biden turns blind eyes.

GOP, in FBI raid, gets a golden election egg

Republicans seeking office this November already had polls at their back, putting them in lead of many, if not most, of their Democrat contenders. But the FBI's highly suspect raid on Donald Trump's private Mar-a-Lago home has handed Republicans a golden egg.

Merrick Garland had some ‘splainin’ to do — but didn’t

Merrick Garland on TV took responsibility for giving the approval that unleashed the FBI search dogs at Donald Trump's private Mar-a-Lago address -- then went on to insist that his federal search dogs are tops in professionalism and the American people should not worry about that.

Whole Foods CEO John Mackey warns ‘socialists are taking over’

Whole Foods Market CEO John Mackey warned in a recent interview that socialists seem to be "taking over" America and that government incentives based on coronavirus fears have fueled a nation of younger people primarily who "don't seem to want to work." Shop Whole Foods.

(AP Photo/Lynne Sladky)

America’s dark age of guilty until proven innocent

It's beginning to smell a lot like George Orwell out there. The fictional book "1984" had its Ministry of Truth, committed to telling lies; President Biden's America has its Department of Justice and its federal law enforcement.

Pelosi drums bogus COVID fear to extend remote voting

Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to congressional lawmakers saying members can vote absentee on matters before the House because -- get this -- of the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID. It's the gift to leftists that keeps on giving.

Trump supporters signal trouble for deep state

Targeting former President Donald Trump, targeting the face of the freedom fight for takedown and total destruction doesn't make the rest of the pro-America, America First fighters go away. It only energizes them. This is America, after all. And Americans love a good fight.

President Joe Biden listens during a meeting with CEOs in the South Court Auditorium on the White House complex in Washington, Thursday, July 28, 2022.

Good news! Biden can’t win reelection

America is technically in a recession -- and President Biden's response is to say, hey, man, come on, man, nothing to see here, go home. With shoulder-shrugging like that, it's no surprise Democrats are seeking another candidate to run in 2024. They know Biden can't win.

Biden sounds like a drug pusher

A heavily vaccinated-slash-boosted President Biden emerged from his COVID-19 test-positive isolation to advise Americans to wear face masks, get the COVID shot and boosters -- in other words, to do all the things he did but that failed to keep him from catching COVID.

Democrats lunge to legislatively limit SCOTUS conservatives

Democrats introduced a piece of legislation to limit the terms of U.S. Supreme Court justices, saying it's necessary in order to "restore legitimacy and independence" at the highest legal authority in the land. That's code for 'these conservatives are killing us!'

Tweedledee edges out Tweedledum in New Hampshire poll

The headline from The Hill was eye-catching: "Buttigieg edges out Biden among Democrats in New Hampshire poll." That's like saying Tweedledee edges out Tweedledum. Looking through the glass, what's the difference?

Fauci suggests locking down healthy would’ve made medical sense

President Biden's top medical wonk, Anthony Fauci, said in a recent interview that the initial response to the coronavirus should have been one of immediate lockdowns, immediate mass face masking and immediate "what have you." Here comes that flip-floppy "science" once again.
