Joe Biden has a strange definition of patriotism

President Biden told America repeatedly that on the coronavirus, his White House would follow the science and issue executive guidance based solely on the science. He lied. He meant he would select which science to follow, which science to ignore.

COVID-19 crackdowns, as predicted, go permanent in states

This is what civil libertarians warned would occur due to lingering mass hysteria over the coronavirus -- that government, once possessed of its extraordinary powers that were granted because of extraordinary circumstances, would not let go those extra powers.

Michael Savage proves prophetic on leftist-fueled ‘civil war’

America's hurtling toward a showdown between citizens who understand the concept of God-given individual rights and Democrats who want socialism to replace capitalism. And that's "Democrats" in air quotes; this batch of pols sporting the donkey pin are more Marxist.

Sanctuary cities — they’re back!

With little to no fanfare, the Justice Department repealed a President Donald Trump-era provision that stopped taxpayer-funded grants going to cities and counties and states that didn't turn over illegals for federal apprehension and prosecution. Goodbye law, goodbye order.

Joe Biden has a booming COVID-19 border crisis

President Biden's border policy of letting in illegals and messaging for more to come has created a situation at the border the liberal-leaning New York Times can't even deny -- that these people aren't tested for COVID-19 and that's putting plenty at risk.

Keith Ellison, second from left, surrounded by family members, places his hand on the Koran as U.S. District Judge Michael Davis administers the oath of office for the new Minnesota attorney general during ceremonies in St. Paul, Minn. Taking over as lead prosecutor in George Floyd's death is giving Ellison a national platform to talk about race in America. (AP Photo/Jim Mone, File)

Blacks need to stop resisting police — but they won’t

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison told "60 Minutes" host Scott Pelley that George Floyd bears zero responsibility for his own death -- that it's all due to police brutality and racism. This is a lie that's being replicated around the nation by leftists who want to destroy America.

Joe Biden falls far short of 100-day promises

President Biden rose to the White House on a wave of promises -- some well-defined, some all smoke and mirrors, but all promises to the people just the same. And he's failed to deliver on most all of them.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, questions Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, during a House Select Subcommittee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, April 15, 2021, on the coronavirus crisis. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, Pool)

Anthony Fauci: Give us the number!

Anthony Fauci was pressed to give the precise measurement America would have to reach to return to normal -- and the good dohktah could't say. He wouldn't say. He couldn't and wouldn't say because the coronavirus is not about health, but rather, political opportunity.

Democrats, a la FDR, float court-packing idea to chill conservative justices

Democrats are floating the court-packing idea as far and wide as possible in order to send a message to the constitutionally minded justices to watch it, watch how you rule, watch how you vote. That's how President Franklin D. Roosevelt won concessions from the court on his New Deal ideas.

Democrats, party of stoners

The website LawnStarter, which is the advertising forum for a landscaping, pest control and home care company, just put out a list called "2021's Best Cities to Get Stoned." All the cities are run by Democrats. No wonder Democrats can't think clearly. They're stoned.

More Americans disapprove than approve of how President Joe Biden is handling waves of unaccompanied immigrant children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, and his efforts on larger immigration policy aren’t polling as well as those on other top issues.

Democrats should treat borders like restaurants

California's political elites put a chain-link fence around a restaurant in Burbank because the owners refused to obey coronavirus clampdowns. If only Democrats were as strict with illegal border crossers. Imagine. America would be safe and secure for decades to come.

Fauci presented the donation Tuesday night in a virtual ceremony to honor him with the museum’s Great Americans Medal. (Smithsonian's National Museum of American History via AP)

Anthony Fauci and his faux science sow more seeds of fear

Dr. Anthony Fauci said that even those who've been vaccinated should not gather indoors, or eat indoors, or remove their masks -- or basically, in essence, do anything that involves being around others. This guy will have Americans staying home, living in fear, forever -- if we let him.

Gun-makers face extinction under Joe Biden

If President Biden has his way, gun manufacturers in the nation will soon enough go extinct. And remember: Without a Second Amendment, there's nothing, in the end, to secure the God-given rights of individuals.

Matt Gaetz matter flags hypocrisies of Democrats who sexualize youth

The age of consent for sexual intercourse in 34 states, plus the District of Columbia, is 16 years old; in six states, 17 years old; and in 11 states, 18 years old. So why do Democrats try so hard to sexualize the nation's youth at every turn? That in itself seems just this side of criminal.

In this Oct. 15, 2020, file photo, a United Airlines airplane takes off over a plane on the runway at San Francisco International Airport in San Francisco. United Airlines says it will train 5,000 pilots at its own academy in this decade, and it hopes that half of them will be women or people of color. United said Tuesday, April 6, 2021, it is now taking applications for the academy in Arizona, including from people who have no flying experience. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu, File)

United Airlines pushes equity button too far

United Airlines' officials announced that its pilot training program over the next decade will focus on diversity, and at least half of its planned 5,000 new-hire pilots will be women and minorities. They hope, that is. Great. What if they suck at flying, though?

When highways are racist

President Biden's DOT shut down a highway project in Houston, saying the road construction was a classic case of racial injustice. At the same time, feds demanded contractors tied to the job get rid of all their black-ink pens, saying any color but green sent a message of racial injustice.

Oligarchy is coming, and America is in the crosshairs

The left, the coronavirus-loving left, has successfully taken the coronavirus and used it to great political advantage, shoving into private business all the clampdowns and shutdowns they can't do the constitutional way -- which is exactly why the left is so coronavirus-loving.

Michael Flynn is right: Americans must get ‘back to church’

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, the guy the leftists love to hate, turned the tables on his accusers, called them out as communists, and then listed two things Americans need to do to secure the country's liberties: Restore the culture, and "get people back to church." How right he is.
