White House floats more coronavirus clampdowns

Politically speaking, forcing Americans who don't want to get vaccinated is a win for Democrats because Democrats, by and large, are already vaccinated and think the rest of America should be vaccinated, as well. By hook or by crook. By pressure or by force. By carrot and by stick.

Kirstie Alley blasts coming culture of ‘pedophilia’

In a tweet that didn't take long to gather social media steam, Kirstie Alley, Hollywood's female braveheart -- brave, 'cause she's openly conservative -- wrote: "People are becoming so 'open minded' that" soon enough "they will support pedophilia" as simple shows of love to children.

Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts demise no surprise

Both the Boy Scouts of America and the Girls Scouts of the USA have reported massive one-year drops in memberships. And given the social and cultural shifts of these groups over the past few years, the exodus is hardly surprising.

Democrats seek perpetual coronavirus control

President Biden's White House has taken a look at the delta variant of the coronavirus, given a listen to the World Health Organization's latest advice and summarily concluded: More people will die -- "you know it's going to happen," he said. This is the Democrats' way of paving the path toward perpetual lockdowns.

Atlanta elites seek to secede from crime infested city

Atlanta's wealthy Buckhead district residents say they've seen enough crime -- they've dodged enough bullets -- that they're seeking to secede from the rest of the city. The once-majestic jewel of the South has been brought low by a 50% increase in murders in about a year's time.

Gwen Berry continues left’s great divide of America

Olympic hammer thrower Gwendolyn Berry made national headlines when she turned from the U.S. flag while America's national anthem played and raised a black T-shirt upon which was emblazoned the slogan, "Activist Athlete." She doesn't belong on the U.S. Olympics field.

Joe Biden blows up fact-checkers with false cannon-gun comparisons

When Joe Biden tried to claim the Second Amendment bans private citizens from owning cannons -- as a means of making the case for common sense gun control -- even the fact-checkers at the left-leaning, liberal-supporting Washington Post had to, well, check his facts.

Chris Wallace goes full-force leftist to blame GOP for defunding police

Chris Wallace of Fox News actually blamed Republicans for defunding the police during a recent "Fox News Sunday" segment. And all the baffled viewers go: Come again? This is classic leftist rebranding at work. Call it a "taking a page from state-run media playbook" moment.

Mike Pompeo exemplifies humble service

Mike Pompeo openly declared that without God, his high-ranking West Point, congressional, CIA and White House successes would not have been possible. If only more in politics believed and said similarly, then America wouldn't be facing a problem with socialism.

COVID-19: The left’s never-ending tool of control

America spent the last coronavirus year-plus in fearful, fear-filled, hunker-down mode, shut out of schools, shut out of work, shut out of churches -- shut out of freedom. And on that, the left pounced, using COVID-19 to great political advantage. Now come the variants.

Christian backlash, as left goes too far

There's a principle of life that goes, 'You can only push someone so far before they break." That's the left, toward Christians. And now Christians are beginning to break -- and fight.

Colleges that force COVID vaccine should be sued

(AP Photo/Andrew Medichini)

Victimhood is an epidemic

Pope Francis said the poor shouldn't be blamed "for their condition" because poverty is rooted in "selfishness" -- a characterization that suggests that without handouts, the downtrodden would stay downtrodden. That's a victimhood mentality that's killing American freedoms.

President Joe Biden just announced a plan to buy 500 million doses of the Pfizer coronavirus shot to distribute around the world "with no strings attached," he said. Isn't that special. But when Joe Biden gives, it's not from his own pockets. It's from yours. Mine. All of ours in fact.

America’s public school servants are out of control

In New York, a parent jumped on the stage after a member of the Penfield Central School Board called him an "a--hole" during a heated debate over critical race theory and face masking of students. This is everything that's wrong with America's public schools, in one brief exchange.
