America’s sports are ruined by politics

Politics has already ruined sports. Thank you, Colin Kaepernick, for the pig socks and the bended knee. But that was the kickoff, some years back. It's been joy-destroying, fun-killing, nearly non-stop field politicking since.

Joe Biden laughably blames Donald Trump for Democrat-fueled violence

In a tweet, Joe Biden, former vice president, 2020 White House hopeful, keeper of the basement key, and other such illustrious titles, yada yada and so on and so forth, wrote this: "Remember: every example of violence Donald Trump decries has happened on his watch. Under his leadership. During his presidency." Nice try, Joe.

U.S. heroes save 15 kids from evil sex traffickers

U.S. Marshals -- U.S. heroes, really -- swooped into Georgia, partnered with local and state law enforcement, and found and rescued 39 missing children, 15 of whom were identified as victims of sex trafficking. Thank God for America's law enforcement. Suddenly, "defund the police" doesn't seem so smart, does it?

Democrats should free Blacks from the chains of ‘Uncle Tom’

Gosh, it's stifling to be a Democrat. It's stifling just to listen to Democrats. But this "Uncle Tom" stuff has to stop. Demanding blacks be all one way and none another is the political equivalent of enslavement. It's an enslavement of minds, of ideas, of free-thinking curiosity and education and independent analysis.

CDC walks back COVID-19 testing, warns not to argue with anti-maskers

The CDC reversed course on its recommendation for anyone and everyone who comes into contact with a coronavirus-positive individual to get tested, and instead, not. That makes sense. After all, Americans don't run to the doctor's to get tested for influenza every time they cross paths with a person who's got the flu. Right?

The Lincoln Project women are silly and stupid

A handful of women proclaiming to be Republicans have united in anti-Donald Trump messaging to join forces under the umbrella of The Lincoln Project and oust this president from the White House. Ignore this faction. They're silly and stupid and are busily, stupidly, trying to sell a silly lie about their so-called Republican beliefs.

In this Monday, June 1, 2020 file photo, President Donald Trump holds a Bible as he visits outside St. John's Church across Lafayette Park from the White House. Only a few legacy-defining moments have clung to Trump. But the forceful clearing of demonstrators from the park across from the White House has resonated like few others, sending Trump’s poll numbers tumbling and prompting top military leaders and usually lockstep Republicans to distance themselves from the president.

‘JESUS 2020’ signs dot the campaign landscape

There are go-Donald Trump signs supporting the president's reelection; there are vote-Joe Biden signs calling for a change in White House leadership. But a new wave of signage is dotting America's landscape, bringing a message that goes like this: "JESUS 2020." Thank God. It's just what America needs.

Virginia on COVID-19 steroids: Take zee shot, comrade — or else

Virginia's health commissioner, Dr. Norman Oliver, said he will make every man, woman and child in the state take the COVID-19 vaccine once it's developed, once it's proven safe, and so long as he is still in office, holding the job of -- apparently -- Resident Body Snatcher. Literally. Who died and made this dude king?

The smartphone screen, seen in Tokyo, Japan, shows a trial version of the COVID-19 Contact Confirming Application, or COCOA, released Friday, June 19, 2020, by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. The notice says "There was no close contact." The coronavirus tracing app is designed to alert users if they come in contact with someone tested positive for the coronavirus. Once installed, the app logs data via Bluetooth from phones that stay in close proximity for over 15 minutes.(Kyodo News via AP)

Contact tracing app at Michigan college is a surveillance-state nightmare

A creepy contact tracing app at a Michigan college that was forced on all students identifies the app user by name and location; generates a specific code that labels the app user as "certified" or "denied," based on required coronavirus test results; and sends an alert to administrators when students violate COVID-19 protocols.

Joe Biden talks of ‘soul’ saving as Democrats remove ‘God’

Joe Biden said in his farewell, oops, he meant to say, acceptance speech, that he's going to restore the "soul of America" if voters elect him this November to the Senate -- oops, he meant to say, White House. Mental acuity aside, the question is: How's he going to restore a "soul" when his fellow Democrats are busily removing God?

Netflix: Pandering to pedophiles everywhere

Netflix, in a new series called "Cuties," is blatantly sexualizing little girls. And tens of thousands have already signed a petition demanding the show's removal from public streaming. But how could such a horrifying show make it past the pitch room in the first place?

Massachusetts mandates flu shots for all students: Next up, COVID-19?

The Department of Public Health in Massachusetts just ordered all students older than 6 months, and up through college, to get the flu vaccination as a condition of attending school. You knew this was coming. What's more, you suspected this was coming for COVID-19, too -- once the vaccine is available, that is. Right?

Anderson Cooper ought to blast Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, like he did Mike Lindell

CNN host Anderson Cooper, in one of those snarky "I'm from CNN so I'm smarter than everyone" TV moments, blasted guest MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell as a "snake oil salesman" for pushing the benefits of a coronavirus therapy that could financially benefit him. But where's the similar treatment for Anthony Fauci? For Bill Gates?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sells Catholics on abortion as ‘reproductive justice’

In the lead-up to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's speech at the Democratic National Convention came this piece, from the National Catholic Reporter: "AOC embraces reproductive justice, and other Catholics should, too." It's an illuminating piece that shows how the left can repackage evil and sell it as a product of love.

This Aug. 13, 2020, photo shows the Wisconsin Center, the location of a scaled-down Democratic National Convention. About 50,000 visitors were expected to inject about $250 million into the economy of the key presidential battleground state. But now, thanks to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the convention is nearly entirely online, with all of the major speakers, including presumptive nominee Joe Biden, skipping the trip to Milwaukee. It would have been the first time Milwaukee, a city of 1.6 million, hosted a presidential nominating convention. (AP Photo/Carrie Antlfinger)

Democrats set convention course to Marxism

Democrats have announced plans to give Black Lives Matter a special place of elevated honor at the 2020 convention, to discuss the party's specially elevated themes: racial injustice and racial inequality. In so doing, they've cemented their image as the party of radicals -- party of lost souls, party of Marxists and Marxist-minded.

Valerie Jarrett drops tired old gender card to rescue Kamala Harris

How come every time a Democrat runs a woman for a political race, the gender card has to be thrown? It's such a tired line of politicking. It's cheap. It's boring and unimaginative. It's aimed simply at stopping all dissenting debates. Yet it continues to be the Democrats' go-to.

Kamala Harris stands far left of true American principles

Sen. Kamala Harris favors higher taxes on businesses, higher taxes on higher-income earners and social justice -- that last, a catchall phrase that gives her carte blanche to press progressive policy into every hot button issue of the day, from the environment to coronavirus stimulus disbursements to housing education.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia GOPer, sets ‘that bitch’ Nancy Pelosi on notice

Marjorie Taylor Greene, in her victory speech for the Republican primary race she ran against neurosurgeon John Cowan for Georgia's 14th District, stepped outside political norms to call out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a "bitch" who would soon be booted. Or maybe she didn't. Maybe this rhetoric has become political norms.

Maryland takes 40,000 free face masks from China

Annapolis, Maryland, city officials accepted 40,000 face masks from China -- a gift from "sister city" Changsha that came this week in boxes decorated with U.S. and Chinese flags alongside cheery messages like, "Go, City of Annapolis!" and "True unity inspires people to work as one." Anybody else see anything wrong with this picture?
