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.

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?

Pope Francis uses COVID-19 pandemic to call for end to ‘individualism’

Pope Francis, in the context of speaking about the coronavirus pandemic, called on the faithful of the world to rise up, unite and put a stop to all this "personal and collective individualism" that's going on. Just stop it, he said. Just stop this "individualism" nonsense right now. Well, we all knew this guy was a closet communist, right?

Connecticut’s crazy excessive coronavirus fines

Connecticut's ruling political elites have just issued fines in the total of $3,000 to a couple of citizens who didn't comply with all the state's coronavirus-related travel guidelines. Guidelines? Let's be serious. These are dictates -- and constitutional or not, by gosh, they're being enforced.

Kamala Harris jumps to VP attention, choking on hypocrisy

Sen. Kamala Harris is Joe Biden's pick for vice president. But Sen. Kamala Harris thinks Joe Biden is a woman-groper. So much for women's rights? "I believe them," Harris said in April of 2019, of the women who came forward to accuse Biden of inappropriate touching.

Photos in a campaign ad for President Donald Trump show that former Vice President Biden is “alone, hiding, diminished.” The ad blurs details that show Biden is praying in a church. The ad was tweeted by @TeamTrump on Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2020. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, File)

Joe Biden hasn’t the stamina for four years

The reason Joe Biden's pick for vice president is being watched so closely is that most voters think he won't make it through a full four-year White House term and that it's his second-in-charge who will ultimately lead the country. That's not anecdotal, water-cooler gossip. That's polled fact. So says Rasmussen in its latest survey.

Bill Gates whines Team Trump won’t listen to him

Bill Gates is the smartest guy in the room, nay, on the planet, and he wants everybody to know it. How else to explain his feigned incredulity on CNN of America's coronavirus test process to that of other nations? Let's remember: Gates is a computer guy. He's not actually a medical expert.

Coronavirus test positives a big whoop over nothing

Every day, every hour, every news source in America blasts out the latest coronavirus test case positives. But -- and this is a serious question -- so what? If this were a virus by a different name, if this were a different political climate, test positives wouldn't raise national eyebrows.

John Roberts ‘anti-Trump,’ says SCOTUS insider

Carrie Severino, a former Supreme Court clerk who now heads up the Judicial Crisis Network and who helped pen a bestselling book on the takedown of Brett Kavanaugh, said on "Fox & Friends" that Vice President Mike Pence is right to criticize the chief justice because, by all appearances, John Roberts seems decidedly "anti-Trump."
