Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg speaks in an announcement of his ending the campaign for president, in South Bend, Ind., Sunday, March 1, 2020.

South Bend, Indiana, is one strange electoral animal

Twenty-to-one. That's the ratio of Donald Trump to Joe Biden campaign signs that can be seen while driving the northern country roads of Pennsylvania and Ohio into Indiana. And that's being generous. To Biden. In some places, for some seemingly endlessly long stretches of time and roadway, the ratio was more like 30:1.

A visitor views the Liberty Bell from outside as the center is temporarily closed for cleaning in Philadelphia, Monday, March 16, 2020. In a new front to slow the spread of the new coronavirus in Pennsylvania, Gov. Tom Wolf ordered all restaurants and bars to close their dine-in facilities in five heavily populated counties starting Monday. According to the World Health Organization, most people recover in about two to six weeks, depending on the severity of the illness. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)

Philadelphia down due to COVID-19, but far from out

Philadelphia may be masked, depressed and a bit down due to the coronavirus -- but it's definitely not out. There's still a spirit hovering about the Liberty Bell; there's still a sort of hushed awe staring at the very buildings Founding Fathers hashed out America's great government.

America’s November decision: Socialism or individualism

President Donald Trump said in a campaign rally from Florida -- a state with a large population of people who fled dictatorial Cuba -- that this election, this November, is about keeping America free of the "socialists and communists" the prior Barack Obama administration oh-so-blithely embraced. It's a showdown, alrighty.

In this May 28, 2020, file photo, mail-in primary election ballots are processed at the Chester County Voter Services office in West Chester, Pa. With concerns rising in Pennsylvania that tens of thousands of mail-in ballots will be discarded in the presidential election over technicalities, officials in the battleground state told counties that they aren't allowed to reject a ballot solely because an election official believes a signature doesn't match the signature in the voter’s file.

Donald Trump ballots in trash, oh my

What a coincidence. Democrats have a crappy candidate for president. Democrats are on an all-courts press to get as many voters as possible to mail in ballots, rather than vote in person. And here are these "Trump for president" ballots from Luzerne County that turn up discarded. What's a good GOPer to think?

Donald Trump, laughing his way to victory

If there's one thing you can say about President Donald Trump on the campaign trail for reelection, it's this: He sure is comfortable. So comfortable, in fact, he gives all appearances of enjoying himself. Having fun, even.

Socialists are destroying the United States

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Chuck Schumer have united to use -- as the red-lipped lipsticked socialist with the mocialist put it -- "every tool at our disposal" that can stop the Senate from confirming any Supreme Court justice nominated by President Donald Trump. In other words: Make way for the firebombs.

George Soros is indeed an enabler of U.S. street violence

Let's be clear and let's stay clear on this: George Soros is indeed diddling in America's political and legal systems. This is no conspiracy theory. This is no tin foil hat moment. This is a verifiable fact.

Herschel Walker: ‘I think President Trump may be winning’

Herschel Walker, ex-NFL star, all-around athletic stand-out, whipped out a whiteboard, a la Karl Rove, on "Fox & Friends" to show the score of Donald Trump versus Joe Biden on issues of importance to voters -- and with National Black Voter Day as the background, called on the nation to quit separating the people by skin color.

Robert Redfield, CDC chief, is confusing the heck out of everybody on face masks

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield, in a hearing before the U.S. Senate, said face masks are better than any old vaccine in protecting against the coronavirus, and that every man, woman and child in America ought to get used to wearing one, but quick. And then the next day he walked back his remarks.

A City Council committee on Thursday Aug. 21, 2020, approved spending $3.6 million to sublease the building for three years and $1.2 million to renovate it. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez) ** FILE **

Minneapolis Marxists now cry at the Marxism they brought

Minneapolis City Council, eat crow. In the face of rising crime, the socialist local body -- the ones who spent oh-so-long trying to replace police with some sort of soft and fuzzy enforcement team armed only with "Time Out" cards to slap on criminals -- in the face of real crime hazards, these guys now want to cry for the police.

Michael Caputo, HHS spox, sounds jaw-dropping alarm on looming civil war

HHS spokesman Michael Caputo delivered some bombshell advice to Americans that went like this: Buy ammo. 'Cause when Donald Trump wins reelection, his Democratic rival Joe Biden won't concede. Then Caputo accused scientists within the CDC of using the coronavirus to unite in "resistance" against Trump. And guess what: Caputo actually makes sense.

Muslims unite in anger at Netflix ‘Cuties’

The Council on American-Islamic Relations released a statement condemning Netflix's "Cuties" show as exploitative of girls and offensive to Muslims, and called for its removal from the television platform. Title this One Of The Few Times Christians And Muslims Agree.

Black Lives Matter is the Kate Steinle of 2020

Read the tea leaves. Test the political winds. Smell the smoke of Molotov cocktails in the air. President Donald Trump is on a sure and steady path to win reelection. Why? Two words: Kate. Steinle. The lawlessness that marked the era of Kate Steinle is a precursor to the lawlessness marking the era of Black Lives Matter.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer faces loss of power

Nearly 400,000 Michigan residents have signed a petition to reel in the executive authorities of their state's governor, the Democrat Gretchen Whitmer, over her abuse of power under umbrella of coronavirus protections. Good. She needs the slap-down.

November election about sovereignty, independence, individual freedom

For years, those warning of the perils and pitfalls of a New World Order and its effect on American sovereignty and freedom have been painted as conspiracy theorists, tin foil hat-wearers. But the so-called conspiracists are right. Vote out Trump this November and watch the globalist vultures swoop.

CDC roasted for smoky #wildfire mask advice

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in a tweet, wrote: "Wearing cloth masks in public can help slow the spread of #COVID19, but cloth masks won't protect you from small particles in #wildfire smoke. Limit your time outside when it's smoky." And all the Twitter followers go: LOL.
