LifeSite silenced by YouTube

YouTube censors have completely shut down the pro-life LifeSite channel, as well as erased all the Christian group's videos. While YouTube is privately owned, within its free-market rights to pick and choose its posters -- come on, now. As if the abortion matter only had one side?

National anthem is still unifying

By now, everybody's heard that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, also of "Shark Tank" TV fame, has done away with the singing or playing of the national anthem before basketball games and that he's also declined to tell why. The 11-14 Mavericks suck, anyway.

Donald Trump could easily steal Republican voters for new party

Roughly 70% of Republicans said in a new poll that they'd either definitely or "maybe" join a political party formed by Donald Trump. As Bernie Sanders might say: That's yuuge. Yuuge enough to set Republicans in Congress on notice about the political perils of impeachment, at least.

Pope Francis hops aboard chilling, globalist ‘Great Reset’ WEF wagon

Pope Francis said the coronavirus has provided the perfect opportunity for economies of the world to reimagine markets and push businesses to put social justice, rather than profits, at the core of their pursuits. He's calling for an end to capitalism and a "reset" for global socialism.

Liz Cheney epitomizes political elitism

Rep. Liz Cheney, Wyoming Republican, is in hot water with her state and constituents for voting in favor of impeaching Donald Trump -- that's DT Q. Citizen, not President Donald J. Trump. But she won't leave.

‘Vaccine passport’ is outrageously unconstitutional

To impose a vaccine as a condition of traveling is to suggest that government knows best what is best for an individual's health, and therefore has the right to strip that individual of the power to self-determine. That's not constitutional. That's dictatorial. That's China.

Mitt Romney has a socialist plan to pay $350 monthly to parents

Sen. Mitt Romney, Republican In Name Only as he is, just proposed a piece of legislation that would gift parents with children, depending on ages, between $250 and $350 per month and up to $4,200 per year. How is that not socialist?

John Kerry thinks his jet fuel doesn’t stink

John Kerry has been making quite a media stir lately about the need for climate change to be treated as a top-notch, top-of-the-list, top-priority national security issue. And not to be rude, but -- what about that private jet Kerry rode to Iceland for his environmental leadership award?

‘Christian Nationalism’ is the left’s next anti-American play

The New York Times just published an opinion piece titled, "The Capitol Insurrection Was as Christian Nationalist as It Gets." Nice try. This is the left's next go-to weapon for taking down Donald Trump supporters, patriots, limited government conservatives and Christians.

George Bush pansies poised to exit GOP

So tons of George Bush-ers are leaving the GOP over Donald Trump? That's almost as threatening as when John McCain shuffled his oafy pretend-GOP self to the front of the cameras in Congress to give a dramatic thumbs-down to Obamacare repeal, in defiance of Trump's agenda.

Lincoln Project falling on hard sex-scandal times

So the anti-Donald Trump Lincoln Project was co-founded by a guy who now stands accused of sending sexually explicit messages to young males, one as young as 14, and promising jobs and career advancement in exchange for, you guessed it, sex. That's called sexual harassment.

Christian surge in China threatens communists — and Democrats

China, land of the dark, is seeing the light -- the light of the gospel, that is -- with an explosion of Christianity in recent years so great that the American Family Association is calling it nothing short of "astonishing" and "miraculous." This has leftists everywhere on edge.

Joe Biden goes nuts on executive powers

President Joe Biden, off a "busy week," as he termed it, of signing executive order upon executive order, signed two more executive orders aimed at "restoring" Obamacare and undoing President Donald Trump's "attack on women's health access." What's that now -- 40?

D.C. military occupation not a good look for America

Concerns over "civil disturbance" have led powers in Washington, D.C., to extend the stay of members of the National Guard in the capital city. A military occupation in America -- who knew. But military troops are not law enforcement officers. Nor should they be treated as such.

Bill Gates will use ‘pandemic war’ to control the world

Bill Gates wants future pandemics to be treated as seriously as the world regards war. And what that means in layman's terms is he wants to use future pandemics as cause to strip citizens of their rights to self-rule. But don't worry; he says it's all for your own good.

Crush the unions, fire the teachers

The Chicago Teachers Union just told school administrators to get you-know-what after members decided that being ordered back to the classrooms to provide in-person instruction was too dangerous for these coronavirus times. These teachers should be fired. Fire 'em all.

Snopes mounts magic mask theory to save Joe Biden from shame

President Joe Biden just blundered a big one, as Joe Biden is wont to do, and issued an executive order that put most all American citizens into face masks. And then he went out and about without his own face mask. Oops. Hypocrisy at its finest. Elitism at its ugliest. Or is it?

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., asks questions during a Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee hearing to discuss election security and the 2020 election process on Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2020, on Capitol Hill in Washington. (Greg Nash/Pool via AP)

Rand Paul smackdown of George Stephanopoulos is what media deserve

Sen. Rand Paul went on "This Week" on ABC and, after being labeled by host George Stephanopoulos a liar and characterized as a political hack, fought back with this: George, you're not so much a "journalist" as "a fool." That's what most in the media these days deserve.

Executive orders are not unifying

Joe Biden rose to the presidency on promises of healing America's soul and unifying the country -- and then, when he got there, turned around and slammed the Constitution down hard and issued a bunch of executive orders. That's hardly unifying. That's more, "I am zee law!"
